WALAs
It's amazing. The amount of money we spent on partying. Sat at Zouk, Wed at velvet and mambo, and Fri at walas. I got home a little drunk last nite, a feeling that i've never had for a long time. Darn, all that beer drinking from the past week is gonna make me really fat. But in view of the 21 km run i'll be doing tomolo, it'll be a trade off... yeah, nice convincing meself there. I wonder how can we sustain such a lifestyle.... Damn i need a job soon.
I went for physiotherapy on thurs. My first time at such a place. I got there half hr early, so i sat and i wait and i wait for my name to be called. Half the time, i was hoping to see a chick therapist coming out, but all i saw were fair-skinny male therapists, and occasionally some plump females. Sigh. No, not that i'm a shallow army boy hoping for some cheap thrill, but hey, aint a better looking one encourage the patients to come back for more 'treatment'? and maybe heal faster? haha, or maybe it's the other way around, patients WILL get better to get out.. sigh, i'm such a dumblond too. Anywayz, i waited till my turn, and when my name was called, i looked up and saw the bestest looking therapist ever. Man it was such a turn on.
The session went ahead, and i was told that fer the past 22 yrs of my life, i've been walking the wrong way. Did some exercise and stretching, and that's it fer the day. I saw that she had a shoulder ache, wanted to offer some massage, but i guess that'll be too freaky, instead, i told her to see a physiotheraphist, which she actaully was. Oh well.. bad amusement. I'm just lousy at chicks. Gonna see her next week... yey.
Di found my blog site... and she read every single detail. I think i'm gonna change to livejournal soon... haha.... Bleah. Can't write any more juicy details on my therapy escapades.. bwahahaa...
MAMBO NITE
Just got back from mambo nite.... shesh.
Wad started out as a slow and quiet nite in velvet became a crazy wild time at mambo. Nostalgia maybe? but it was weird. ha, played host to the kitaro crew, and johan stoled my thunder. Bastard. Anywayz, i visited the hospital today, and the doctor told me that due to prolong walking and standing, i've aquired a problem called 'Planta Fasciitis'. This means that my feet aint good no more. I did a search on good old internet and this were 2 suggestions: 1. Don't walk on the hard floor barefoot. 2. needs to take an extended break from running, perhaps for several months.
>> AND i'm running the half-marathon this sunday... 21km.. I think my legs need some new owners.. the way i'm treating them. oh well... I'll be going for physiotherapy tommorrow. California Fitness has been pushing their membership up my nose too, $69 for a month, to go and 'enclose' myself in a cage of gym equipment that i hardly know how to use! Think i'll differ. Good old push-ups, sit-ups and running for me!
Kitaro
I just got back from a photo shoot.
Was at Kitaro's concert at Suntec City.
I was using my friend's Digital SLR.
I brought my Hasselblad and my FM2.
It was the most frustrating shoot ever.
I was so unsure of myself.
I was so uncertain of the exposure.
I was irritated that the fact that i was reliant on the camera's screen.
I was disgusted that i looked into the screen after every 5 shots.
I was angry that I was irritated.
I was pissed that i was using a digital SLR.
I am having cognitive troubles thinking of buying one.
I am going to be a sellout and get meself one of em.
SIGH.
I finally got it up and running. I told my brother that something was wrong with the power box. He told me it's the mother board. I told him it's the power box. He told me to go get a new motherboard. I went to get a new mother board. ripped apart my computer, and assembled the parts like i was a kid playing lego blocks. I plugged switches and cards and wires and fans. I screwed, hammered and sweated in my room. And whilst on the msn messenger on my ibook, talking to my brother like he's some online helpdesk. I finally got everything in place. All those wires, and stuffs. Then Alywin called and asked to go out for coffee. I told him it was my moment of truth when i plugged in the power cable and switched the back of the CPU on. .. .. .. .. Ready, steady... my button pushed the bluish button at the front. .. .. .. nothing happens. I checked all the connections... .. .. nothing happens. I called my brother in Aust.. .. .. and after hours of tweeking it, nothing happened. I was hot. I went back to the computer shop with my entire CPU the next evening, and ask them to do a check. motherboard's in... chips are in... boards are in.. wires plugged in.. everything's in place.Turned on. .. .. .. nothing happened. "Maybe it's the powerbox? i meekly suggested. "Hokay, lets try".. the guy said. unscrewed the power box, and jagged in a new one. Pushed the power switch. .. .. .. It was the power box. My computer started up and running. I felt like an idiot.
I had to format my entire harddisk to install a new OS. Which meant that all my digital photos from since 2003 all wipped out. Strangely though, i wasn't very upset. I have no idea why. Strange. Even up till now. Maybe it's about letting go. Maybe i was happy that 1/2 my porn collection is now deleted and cleaned off from my system. I felt powerful. The digital photos that i had of friends and other events all wipped out. I also felt powerful. Strange feeling. Maybe wat Brad Pitt said in Fight Club really meant something. "What you own eventually ends up owning you". Think about the things we buy, our 'precious' clothes and jewels. my cameras, my darkroom, that hidden stash of marshmellow chocolates at the corner of my table. my negative collection. Maybe letting go of all my ideals will eventually lead to a better mindset in my life? And that because of the things we own that make us who we are, we then become lost from our own mind?
PC still down
My Pc is still down. Changed my blog template coz the one i was trying to do was too much of a prob for a script idiot like me. sigh. Aint computers made to make things easier?
Di just flew to Zurich last nite. I had flu last nite. Bought a computer mother board that doesnt match the ram i have. Totally dumb. I'm going back to the stores later after work.
I have this stupid DXO working in my office. She screams at her clerk the whole day.. even at this moment .. it's lunch time. Her clerk never gets a break. And she's a bitch scolding him for work he doesn't have to do and doesn't know how to do. Irresponsible, bad work attitude. Oh well, i only have to sit ard listen to her smelly gab behind me. If she ever does say anything fked to me, she'll get it.
I can't wait to leave office today. There's no work to do. Or rather.. i'm too lazy to dig em files out. heh. I just bought a new phone, and was playing with it the entire morning. Good thing my boss is in a meeting. He just told me that he's going crazy soon, and ask me to visit him when he actually does. Crazy boss i have. My ex-boss from ocs just requested my present boss to release me for a training trip in taiwan. Hope it gets thru, but then again, if it does get thru, i'll be biting my own tail in my arse, coz that'll mean i have to extend my service. Something i'm longing to get out of. But to taiwan.. why not.. weather's good, shopping's good.. babes.. not too bad at all~!
pc down
>>my pc refuse to work.... blame it on the 'good' old motherboard. Apparently something that my bro didn't tell me about when he fixed this comp for me. It doesnt turn on after you plug out the main switch.
>> anywayz i'm using my trusty ibook now. Maybe it's becoz ibook was jealous that i was using the pc more often. May i should chuck the pc away and get my imac soon. I wish i printed money. Life will be easier then. I can't stand it that those rich kids say that money aint the whole world, and sob sob about not having enuff love, family support, etc etc. I mean come on...such tv dramas are written by the poor, trying to make themselves feel better about themselves. Half the time, poorer families are more broken, and go thru more hard-ship... so when the poorer broken families are lamenting about their husbands getting drunk and gambling all the truely hard-earned money away, the richer families are doing it the same... the rich way.. instead of gambling in the back-alleys, they do it on the junky cruise.... and instead of the china girl that daddy picked up at geylang, it's that expensive escort girl, or even his secetary. And it's so much easier for the richer family to get things done, coz he can simply pay for it...HIAZ... as wad is said.. "the rich will only get richer, the poor will just remain poor." Maybe that's why i'm inclined to go buy TOTO every week from now, and strike that 2million prize money. Hey.. it's the fastest way to get rich for poor me. And hey.. I STRUCK TOTO on thurs!!!... well.. i shouldn't even be writing the pathetic win here.. it's just enuff for me to cover wad my clerk and i paid for it... $20. haha.. but, it's good trill lah.
>> Just got home from tennis, tabletennis and swimming from Ang's place. Had such a good time with the steamboat and all. And for the first time, we actually talked about something that utilised the brain. Time travel, and space, and relativity. and stuffs like dat. Nick made a comment that we seemed more intellectual when the girls aint ard. Maybe it's true, maybe we have always been bringing ourselves down to their level when their around.. just to amuse them.
>> Ok.. i was just sorting out my negatives ... think i'll go back to them. Seems like i'm missing some! SIGH~!!
