dementia praecox

We could've fed an army lol, and the ang moh family behind us afterwards just face palmed for choosing our lane... P.S: The trolley behind us was ours too, full of packed Milo.
The boot was too filled that we have to put some in the back seats I would like people to know that even though it seems impossible in Singapore, there are still some who lingers the streets. You just have to know where to find them. I'm not sure if this is ideal food for some families, but I hope the ones who received these from us today could at least sleep with a full stomach for a few days.

Okay, so maybe not. But it scares the shit out of me; the way you speak.

My heart shudder with pain; the pain I felt radiating from you. All I want now, apart from the mug of tea in my hands; is to give you a strong, warm hug.

Cin, you do know I love you... right?

Entertained this morning... Good and bad. I was feeling down these few days but I need to feel better and I felt some other people need to too.

Two nights ago I felt suicidal. We had a couple of high-rise buildings to choose from... but suicide is for losers and my insurance doesn't cover it. I've been working at it; seeing all those wonderful works appearing from all over the world and wondering what it'll be like to be one of that. Then my current BOSS just have to burst my tiny bubble.

I stopped drawing leisurely after I lost whatever that cause me to like drawing after secondary school... that's 10 years ago. It brings a bitter smile to my face when I realised the one who encouraged me to start again is now no longer by my side.

Arvin, I missed you.

Picked up the sketch-pad again recently cause I dreamt of you. I have to continue... Because it's you.

Feeling melancholy. Kept telling myself it was all a fling but is it really? I was taking an afternoon nap when I dreamt of her. Bolt upright from the trigger; a sharp rap on the door. It scares me to think she can affect me so... Why couldn't I sleep well lately?

You wouldn't believe the dream I had. It's like a gangster film. think 艋舺?

Not talking about the number 1 in the modeling world. What I am talking about is... I don't even know. We had a lot of food, played Uno and watched intern fashionistas running around. After that we went town and we got "pained" red. :3

Cindy got to bowl!!! Serene and I got to play Time Crisis 2... And we all hanged out at TCC without seeing Sunsie. Serene and I laughed randomly at random stuff... (I almost typed stud... O.o)

Appa sent me back after dropping the kids off. Man I totally think the nickname will stick. I don't know why. Anyway, our conversation goes like this when we were alone. Andrew: "... I thought..."
Jonas: "Ya?"
Andrew: "You brought the camera..."
Jonas: "... ..."
*pauses for about 3 seconds and Andrew looked my way*
Jonas: "Please look at the road when you drive..."
*pauses some more*
Jonas: "SHIT!!! How come we never take pictures!!!!!!!!!!"

Okay... I think I almost scare him into banging something on the road. O.o Whatever. Next time I am handing the camera to the camwhore. To make it up for the unnecessary scare, he took the coconut biscuits. LOL truth that 'The way to a man's heart is to his stomach'? Now, I sounded domestically married... Ya right.

Everyone's tired. We should all go sleep it off.

The main point of the story I'm going to tell is that the main character was injured. The End. Not much of a story is it?

Apologetic for the scares I caused, however, fortunate it was that no vital organs got wounded. I got a new Adidas T-shirt due to the effort. Duh!

We did not meet up in the end due to financial issues. I was hoping we still get to meet up this lifetime *roll eyes*

Rachael（乐洋） was playing with my facebook and added Pet Society. Hm...

Oh, Christmas was spent at Junion's and it was fun. Our family never celebrate Christmas... ever... Guess there's always a first for some things. I had fun taking photos of drunken kids running around with weird stuff on their hair. *huge grins*

Then its more project work and datelines to meet. I kinda felt drained as my body seems to be getting upset from the mistreatment. At least I get to meet Mummy and Gene they all when things are not under control. They have a calming effect on me, seriously.

Let me end this and go have fun for its the end and a start. I'll think of the resolutions for 2009 later. Till then, I love you all.


You know I always love to come up with stuff to write for special occasions? Well, here's one of them:

I'll be good,
I'll be brave,
I'll be here,
Living another day.

Years come by,
Years will go,
Our friendship,
Hopefully never fades.

Grace and guidance,
Willingly given,
Best wishes my love,
Happy New Year.



Yes friends, you know the usual "Don't copy or I'll sue" thingy or whatever? Ah heck, just use, credit and I'll be a happy kitty:

Looking back on months gone by,
Reflections as the old one ends.
Let's think 'bout what brought us joy,
Family, friends, that someone special.

I smiled at the happy times.
Recalled how you've enriched mine.
Wondered who've really counts.
Fresh upon the New Year's night.

If you've got this message, trust me;
you're one of that special someone in my life,
Thank you for being one of the reasons,
to celebrate the start of a bright New Year.

The advantage of studying around this area is the walks you get to take when you are feeling low.You know the "shouting at the sea" stint you see in movies? Try not to do it in real life okay?Yes, I'm feeling damn artistic right about now.

Oh, on a side note, its not everyday you see police-men rounding up kids. Enjoy.

It's rather obvious the pictures are not out. Well, all of us are so busy with projects. Yes, projects are due this month end (so what the hell am I doing writing long blog entries?) and most probably driving me up the wall. Wait, most probably? Am I nuts already!?!

Turns out, Gene doesn't need that extra paragraph. Though this may brought about minor changes to the song. Whatever, lyrics will be posted soon on Wretch. 请拭目以待。

Oh, Patrick! Happy Birthday. Hope you like your present, you look good in it.
然后这使Andrew看了心痒痒，也想来试。He bloody told me he don't suit pink colour. Like 'Duh!' check out the pictures.I told him he thinks that way because he haven't found the correct pink. This doesn't look bad, does it?看吧，穿对的衣服，就能让你“走路有风”！
We finally met up with Fizh. He's such a busy person. Anyway, the point is, we forgot to take group photo like again? Hur Hur.

Been feeling rather moody lately due to lack of sleep. 有太多东西要做了。Things like:

Finish my COMP 1302, 1307 and 1308 projects.

Finish my Final Year Project

Write the 60,000 words thesis: Effects of Computing on Psychology

Brainstorm on how to start the 15,000 essay on: Security Issue - Cyber Space

Get the女爵induced story out of my head.

Finish the last week of my beta reading job.

推掉热场cases till my fucking throat heals! *Argh*

把欠下的书坑填满，该打的文打完！*灵感伯伯，快回来啊！*

So, I must say, I really love my Gene老婆！ He cheered me up so much with these:
Gintama rocks! *laughs*
Of course, so does Bleach! *grins* Click HERE
Then ends it with a sweet sweet....
The ending is like so sad but sweet. 这就是所谓的，‘苦涩的甜蜜’？

Finally, yes, I am through sorting up my contacts details. Realise I lost some email address due to age old lack of maintainence/communication. Opps. Go me! I have work to do, and I just wasted time I can't afford to lose to blog and watch 超级星光大道(三)。*Roll eyes* Why would you care anyway? Adiós~

Like my lecturer Herlina says during Friday lecture, this is such a special day. I agree. Happy 9th Birthday to Lou & Hermie, even though you two should be like one year older than me.

Recap on my week.

26.02.2008
Met Nat and Jeyl. Wish I was studying there too. Unfortunately, I have no peanuts. Thanks for the keychain Jeyl. Had char guey tiao and hokkien mee with Nat for dinner. Cravings are nasty stuff especially if you are trying to maintain the rather non-existential figure like mine. Lastly, I enjoyed my time waiting at HMV.

27.02.2008
I notice fickle-minded-ness does not only exist within the souls of university students. My Final Year Project lecturer is a prime example. Met Andrew for L - Change the World. Another one who introduced me to a new gang of people. You brothers/sisters really know I lack companionship man! The ending struck a chord. Someone as pea-brained and insensitive as me is most probably feeling sad because I will not get to see Ken'ichi Matsuyama as Lawliet L again. No, it is not the theme of humane goodness. Definitely not.

28.02.2008
Lectures are killers. But then again, humans are too. No big deal, right?

On the sides:

Didn't think the topic I was writing on will cause nightmares. You'd think its easy to write a suspense story with all that dreams going on. Man! Are you wrong. I'm totally stuck. Seems that, though the mind might have been working on overdrive, none of the scenes in it fits the story.

Nightmare 1

There's this girl, in the forest. You can hear her pityful sobs and is moving towards the source. It's pretty dark, but you seem to know your way. Leaves crunches at you feet, crickets sounded and in the distance, an owl hooted.

Suddenly, a cold gust of wind blew pass and you shivered. You turn to look at the direction where the wind is coming from and suddenly, you spotted a clearing. Weird, the clearing should not have been there.

Near the other side of the clearing, you see the girl. You sense something in the air, but you couldn't tell what. You called her.

"Miss?"
"I want to go home"
"How can I help you?"
"I can't walk"
"It's okay, I can carry you out. Do you know the way home?"
"I don't...."
and then she turns around while saying,
"think I can see the path back...."

Her eyes are bleeding, then I realise, there's only her body there, on the ground. The legs, arms, fingers were all nailed to the surrounding trees. The something in the air was the stink of old blood and I faintly register her smiling as she launch herself at me as she say "Can you bring all of me home?"

Here's where I woke up, almost screaming -_-"'

Nightmare 2

The starting is pretty hazy, but we were at this gym. Drew and I. We were chatting about the post mortem thingy and were headed towards the showers. Well apparently, he was heading for the showers and I was going to the nearby classroom for a jamming workout. Naila was conducting class, and as I walk in she was like smiling and said, "You're late."

The workout passed in a blur and I was heading towards the showers. Had too much water so, headed for the toilet. Quite a few ladies were queuing up for the stalls and my line seems to be moving very slowly. In fact, its not moving. The weird thing is, there seems to be a choke as you can hear water running inside the stall I was queuing up for. Some ladies were like saying the person inside the stall had been there since before the shower rush, so this is weird, right?

I knocked the door. No one anwswered. The girls were getting uneasy. I was thinking that some lady might've fainted inside, so I told one of the girls to get help from the gym's personnel while I attempt to open the toilet door. The in-charge came in just as I uses some wire thing to flick open the lock inside. The moment I opened the door, there were screams from behind me.

There in the toilet bowl, was a huge mass of hair. The water flowing out was red and it seems like a head severed from its body.

I woke up choking here. Did I tell you I have nightmares of this nightmare? The open toilet door scene kept replaying... T-T

Nightmare 3

Well, I would not classify this as a nightmare, but, this dream is too damn weird for my taste.

Three very weird stuff about this dream is:

1) I am a guy.
2) I look good. (-_-"')
3) I am in a relationship with another guy. (sweatdropped)

Okay... I bet you all have a lot of comments already. But it gets more weird!

So a couple of guy friends ( I think, though I've never seen them before.) and I were at this studio, think shooting a commercial. We were all in our you know, life guard pants ( ever seen Baywatch?) and was supposed to act like we're running on the beach. The room was totally green, think for the animation or something.

Then we were at the showers, in various states of undress (oh my god *blushes*) and I was walking out of the shower stall with just a towel around my waist when suddenly this sissy guy just walked into the showers saying he need 5 guys for the TV show next studio. He was like going around searching for his prey and well, he... He smacked my butt and say, "You."

Okay, I was like very stun here and suddenly this guy (one of my friends I think) just grabbed me from behind and say "Sorry, he's taken." Didn't know why, but, I was not at all harressed by him doing that. In fact, I think I feel kinda safe. (Holy crap!)

Anyway the sissy guy ended up choosing my friend (Yes, the one that say "He's taken.") and I plus another 3 which I didn't know of. We were in shirt and pants provided by the wardrobe mistress and I think we stayed because of the free dinner and extra cash. (How pathetic, I'm poor even in my dreams T-T)

So we were like at the show and we were all like quite stoned as we didn't know what we have to do. Supposed to play games or something then, and think the group I was allocated to lost. So forfeit. I was supposed to kiss this girl ( Safety kiss. A transparent piece of cellophane, you get the idea?) and well I was being shy, so didn't really touch the cellophane. The 'judges' were disatisfied so we were told to kiss again. Some stupid guy push into me while the host pulled away the cellophane!!! (Oh my God... Please pardon me, for I've sinned -_-"')

I turned to see my friend, and he looked pissed.

Then...

My Dad woke me up for work -_-"'

And you know what? As I was travelling to work yesterday, I saw this lady. She fucking resembles the girl in the forest!!!! I was like totally scared out of my wits as she walk by.

Now tell me, since I have such.... interesting dreams, why isn't the story writing itself yet!?!

In one short sentence, I screwed up. Big time.

1) Meet up with the gang yesterday. Lots of updates from Serene. Unfortunately, Pei lost track of meeting date (sweat dropped) and couldn't make it. Cin got sick last minute. Gastric flu*... (frowns) Ge and Jie went strolling down Singapore River and meet us ( Ser and I) like when we are about the finish the fabulous Dory Fillet. Went Mac after a lot of places. Drop dead tired today.

2) Ge and Jie's ROM. Do keep free on 7 July. ( Erhm. Ge didn't propose!!! He just give Jie the ring and.... there -_-"')

3) I chalk up to 4 days of being sick (MC) and my sore throat is still not really healing.

4) I made my Mum angry by saying something stupid last night. Well, I was drop dead tired! I swear I didn't do it on purpose. It was just a off handed remark on *blushes*

5) New Year Gear:
Socks --> New socks 3 for $5.
Shoes --> Think have to get ladies heels... Shoes are too darn expensive.
Pants --> $44.50 + $ 29.90. Oh well, a change of wardrobe, my old jeans are all too big now.
Shirts --> $30 ($21 after haggling) and $40 (Sports. Brand. Expensive. It was on sale.)
Wallet --> S10. Bought 2 years ago. Still considered new!?! Yupps, didn't use it yet. But time for change me thinks.
Specs --> Oakley dream putting on hold. $100
*Ahem* --> Still had new old ones. lol.
Total adding up to: S491 (Including ahems, 1 new soccer jersey and my brother's specs.) I overspent! Duh~

6) First ang pow of the year, I got it yesterday. Angmoh's Cai Shen is so.... interestingly cute. Nice healthy pink shade yah~ lol

7) Met with Gene, Pat and Drew. Like some time ago. Drew need to get his car's door fixed. Gene should do more "don't ya" to Pat! *ho ho ho do more* Patrick should get map to location training. We should meet up with Fizh soon. Reunion dinner no. 2 in schedule?

8) My villagers died.

9) I want Pangya A Cash to dress up my Character! *RAWR!*

10) I wasted my time on Cake Mania.

The End

*Or not if you decides to read this. The extracted conversation I had with Cin last night via SMS.

Cin - Im sick
Jon - Got see doc?
Cin - Ya m at the clinic seeing doc
Jon - Cfrm not comin?
Cin - Yah
Jon - >_< aiyoh. Ok u take care ah

Cin - Haha virus nd time to travel frm tpy to eunos mah >_<

I conclude that gastric flu is an old creature that moves very slowly.

Why the title? Well, the story starts like this:

It was a boring day, and Iden was supposed to work on that day. Weird, thought the last episodes shows him telling his boss, "I don't really want to celebrate it in a big way, but at least let me have a off time that day." Oh well, guess what? Not only is it forgotten, ( I mean the comment) it was a Saturday and he still have to work. So, knowing that some friends will organise something on that day, he started early. Got up at 5am to check through stuff. Not his fault that there's nothing on is there? Anyway, his friends didn't know, and they went out in the morning, screaming his frustrations away. Went to the office in the afternoon thinking he could get some work done. Jolly no! Some -ahem- people decided to do renovations in that area. And Iden means right in front of his desk!

To say he was pissed was an understatement. After all, he got calls from colleagues asking him why he's not online working. Well, that finally made him blew his top. Made his way to the location he was supposed to meet his friends for dinner. But since he's too damn early he settled down for some work. Obviously Starbucks would not let him connect to wireless for nothing. That and the fact that stupid people think its fun to sit on the chairs even though their kids could not play on water that day. (They were having street basketball competition.)

Iden ended up in MOS. The only good part seemed to be the fact that he met an old friend from secondary school. Waited for his buddies to turn up and had a reasonably well birthday party. Well of course you had to take away that few facts that:
1) Someone is late.
2) The only surprise almost ended up as a disappointment.
3) Despite blatant provoking, someone is still oblivious.
4) The mood just wasn't there.

So, poor Iden ended up pretty disappointed on his birthday and had to work on a Sunday ( to cover back the time he wasted on that worthless day.)

Well, what has that got to do with the title? Everything.

More than one month later, something about birthdays happened. Okay, it open wounds and hurts Iden a lot. Obviously people around here treat Iden as a piece of glass, transparent until either they need it or when they bump into it causing themselves to be hurt.(meaning need to blame him)

Feeling: Broken

Tis no wonder, thou art hides ole' yonder.
Thy heart shattered, glass shards abundant.
Desensitized thy feelings, solidify thy mind.
Till death bring peace and let hurts rests,
Mind where thee steps in this wretched land.

Well, same old same old. By me, steal and thou art shalt be dealt with damnation.

Bored out of my mind, I've decided to compile a list of msn nicks I used. Yah I am that bored.

The one I'm currently using: 放眼眺望，轻烟袅袅，虽是仙境，独我一人...
Meaning: At my top (be it top condition/prime age/height of success) as I look around, even though it looks like heaven, I am alone without company.

There is a second line to it but... Lets just say it hurts to put that down.

On a more cheerful note, sometimes I use my feelings about things or even how I feel at that time. Guess most of you who even bother reading had seen the regular four letter words or even... you know?

About other people? Most of my friends uses songs. Lyrics, Song title, etc. Okay... I gotta run. Updates on the nicks I use? See the comment box lah~

Feeling: Irritated

Labels: Drabbles, Rants, Weirdology

Hi all, welcome yonder. Thanks for making my life so rich and fun filled. This will be the last post of this blog, as I am tired of the agonising minutes taken to publish and republish. Gosh look! Its been what? 4 years!?! Birthday's just over, and realise that I am finally 21. It was passed rather peacefully (except for the Fish & Co rap part *blushes*). Anyway, thanks dajie for making the effort of not dropping the cake. Wahaha think I will let the joke of easy? No-ope! Will say these for years to come, like Xiao Ser's "Duh!" and Cin's a lot of other jokes la~ Anyway, back to birthday. Want to thank my poly brudders and sistas for making my birthday so special! Ice-cream cake! The very first in my life! What can I say I am a easily satisfied person. Must also thank Drew, Gene, Pat they all. Was feeling rather down that day, but they cheered me up and pulled me thru. Thanx for the perfume! The bottle is lovely! *laughs* Oh and how can I forget colleagues? Thank for covering my butt(or not) and thanks for the elephant plushie. I will thus knight it - Elpho. Elpho is very cute you know, wahaha. Plus Mummi, Ris and Med hor~ Like finally go down to play settler's again. So good the feeling of being ard close buddies. *smiles*

Of course when we talk about birthdays, how can we miss out Fish Fish? Wahaha Happy happy birthday yah. Okay, maybe I should say belated by now? Thanks for the dinner, the fun talks and the *wahahaha* act gay! I was totally beside myself la~ But, I was a naturally touchy-feel-ly person from the start. If you're *ahem* at the wrong place at the wrong time, you will know. (In this case, Pat, Drew, Gene *my very willing demo volunteer* and Kai)

Lebon had always commented that Sycry is a cuddler >_<"'

Was doubting myself again these few weeks, what with people all around me getting into uni. Kept pondering about whether I should further studies and such, but cannot focus. "Follow your emotions!" Odin Lowe once told Heero Yuy, and he did so; thus saving Earth. But I am not the 'Perfect Soldier' and I guess, to some extend, I don't want to, especially not holding my heart out where someone can easily break it again. Functional wise, I think I should get a cert, to process me along if you get what I mean but seriously, what I want, I cannot get. So why bother?

I had been thinking, I kinda reached a bottle neck or something. Like again. Remember that blank out period in secondary four, so near to the exams and suddenly its like I forgot how to even eat and sleep, let alone understand formulas and equations. My English totally went downhill and stopped to my relief, 1 grade away from the original mark. Arts suffered. I couldn't write a story to save my life at that point of time! I flunked Literature for my mids. The horror... And now, Dajevu~ *shudders* I didn't know why, its like the volcano erupted or something and its scaring me, cause, the last time, it took 16 years. Bloody 4 years later it happened again! When next? 2 years later? Sheesh! I hope its just a false alarm. Don't think I can handle not functioning, not thinking, rotting, no creativity, no strength, no control and no protection / security.

I miss the old me, who dared fight bullies, I want me back, he who is eloquent, witty, confident and smiles. I want the strong me back, not the wimpy, tired, OLD, frustrated, stressed-out, stabbed, broken shell of a me. I hate hiding in the blanket, shivering from the cold; the inner cold that blankets and hot soup couldn't cure. I hate reaching out in my sleep, to only encounter the pillow. I miss the times I wake up, to the feelings of a warmth; Arms wrapped around; encircling, heart beat in sync. The feeling of the soft thump-thumping against my back. The feather soft breath lightly caressing my neck. Oh my god.... now I sounded desperate. Hey! Maybe Shinigami is right! I do need to get laid! LOL

Speaking of getting laid, I do think I need extra affection... So anyone need a rent-a-girlfriend? Wahaha now I'm crapping. Gee~ next I will be posting ads for lovers *bleh*

On a lighter note, I will start a new blog. If you are thinking about the Chinese one, no. Chinese blog is for me to, vent my quirks, make sure my plot bunnies get fed, say stuff I don't feel eloquent enough to say in English, or just to write. Thoughts that I had been pondering about, that I feel like expressing but cant seem to put on paper. *laughs* Must be the Chinese dictionary beside me giving the stress.

So, until then, stick with this extra long post ( or if you can read Mandarin go to the Chinese blog) this is cMjW (aka Cyrus Maxwell Jonas Woon) signing out.
