Babble

Transformers 2 was great, or at least better than I expected it to be. True, the first one is more original, but the second one has a thrilling plot and includes some emotional elements, like how Optimus Prime and Sam died (but didn't really) and these scenes are effing tear-jerker! Anyway, I'm looking forward to The Proposal, Half Blood Prince (!!!) and The Time Traveller's Wife!

Anyway I saw Amrit again today, dressed in her usual sleeping gown, along with her mobile phone and cigarette under the void deck, yakking away with god knows who over the phone. Like I see her once a fortnight doing the usual routine and it often amuses me. And when we caught each other within a distance away, she'll always give that "Oh, it's you again, how nice!" look. It's just nice to see someone familiar each time you come back home at night. Maybe we're meant to see each other and talk about something other than school, life on the surface and stuffs. We used to have good conversations when I was 17, and then we had our own lifes to think about. But anyway, it's just nice seeing people you know around the neighbourhood. It's not like everyone here is my friend.

Today I did one thing I haven't done in ages. EXERCISING. It isn't as simple as how it was before, I could run anytime with faddy or eva back then before uni (how on earth did we run ever so regularly?!). Anyway, I started to do jumping jacks since I remembered how Mr Yaw made us do hundreds of them and we were sweating like mad. And then I did push-ups and sit-ups when it suddenly dawned on me that I should do crunches as well. No biggie when we always do it during the touch rugby days right? (eons ago, I should add). Wah, little did I know I technically FORGOT how to do the damn crunches. What I exactly did to regain my memory of it was to lie down with both my legs up in a 90 degrees position. Then I realise oh I should bend my legs and voila!

I.Am.So.Kidding.Myself.Here.


But it feels good. I need to exercise more from now onwards. Just the thought of eating in abundance and to mention VARIETY of food everyday makes me feel sick and disgusted. Screw the weight-conscious society, we should exercise just because. And to execute that, you really can't be lazy like me.

Anything but ordinary

Sometimes I get so weird I even freak myself out I laugh myself to sleep it's my lullaby Sometimes I drive so fast Just to feel the danger I want to scream it makes me feel alive To walk within the lines Would make my life so boring I want to know that I have been to the extreme So knock me off my feet Come on now, give it to me Anything to make me feel alive Is it enough to love? Is it enough to breathe? Somebody rip my heart out And leave me here to bleed Is it enough to die? Somebody save my life I'd rather be anything but ordinary please I'd rather be anything but ordinary please Let down your defenses Use no common sense If you look, you will see That this world is a beautiful, accident Turbulent, succulent, opulent Permanent, no way I wanna taste it Don't wanna waste it away yeah, yeah Sometimes I get so weird I even freak myself out I laugh myself to sleep it's my lullaby I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

Encounters

Oh who am I kidding? I wrote a post previously on the importance of mobility. But going further than that, it is the social encounters that make up the foundation of human experience living under this same canopy we call earth and sharing this home alongside others. To the first moment babies acquaint themselves with the world, having the first touch, hearing the sounds of a laughter, whimper, sigh, silent smile, and modelling on the external world to distinguish safety from danger, right from wrong, norms from exceptions. It is the everyday social experiences of walking out on the streets and seeing people doing their own thing - the mother reprimanding the child, the young man awkwardly fishing his pockets at the entrance of the bus, a fragile old woman taking her time to walk up the stairs, the sound of aggressive haggling at the market. And then there are those two close friends insisting they each want to pay the bill for the other, a group of boisterous teenagers disrupting your ...
