Was watching across the universe few days back, really good movie mostly due to the excellent soundtrack which comprises entirely of Beatles songs. You can;t neva beat the beatles man, excellent love songs to crazy shit songs that make no freaking sense (I am the Walrus).
watching the show makes me wanna build a time machine and return to the swinging 60s and 70s, crazy music festivals, protests, weed, what could be betta...
i failed to build the time machine though so i did the next best thing, ask my parents!!
really cool chat, telling me abt all the crappy things they used to do back then. Like did you noe that they had SMS back then too, almost the same just took a little longer and that they had to use pen and paper and the telco was usually their younger siblings who would run to the different houses to deliver the messages. (I would hate to be the sibling of someone whose sweetheart lives in bedok while i live in yishun back then)
and also how their parents used to scold them for 'mopping' the fllor at city hall (Bell bottoms)
Well the chat ended with me trying desperately to search for these vintage clotes onli to learn that they threw them away few yrs back
DAMN!
I was kinda like stoning on my bed just now, like after work which is getting terribly boring tat i have to constantly find ppl to disturb on my HP such that i can anticipate their reply and thus keep my mind of the work (long sentence which i'm making even longer by adding this).
Feeling some times that maybe a certain something is missing i mean i have a gd Family, friends, God (gotta put this in) and all but yeh sometimes i prob wish i could have someone like special to be with.
Now this is rather unlike me, i mean i have always felt like i dun need this kind of shit, but i guess sometimes there is a certain feeling of lack in a part of my life.
Maybe its just the romantic shit korean drams i have been watching to get my mind of work, or maybe the weather or the planets alignment but yeh i guess having being single for 22 yrs is kinda taking is toll.
Now i guess some of you will be like, u are shitting me, wats so cool abt relationships, the breakups and shit. But then again even though it may be crappy i guess it would be a worthwhile exp for that fleeting moment that u truly care for someone?(my opinion, dun fault me for it)
Man.....
Under the oppresively humid weather, the hero trudges along the main road of the fantasy land of Eropagnis. The road is packed with the daily commuters making their way from the suburban Ghettos of Nuhsiy to the city tat is D.B.C (damn bloody crappy place). The crowds move in silence, noone smiles or speaks, stoney faced, eyes blank. The Hero chuckles to himself, 'pathetic drones..' but doesn;t realise that he is but also but another chog in the evil machinery run by the lord Tsilatipac. The hero doesnlt know this yet, for his mind has been blinded by the evil spell of the high priest of Tsilatipac, Aidem.
In the distance a figure lurks under the shadows of the concrete watchtowers that line the main road.
The figure watches the hero making his journey, he wishes to make contact but is hesistant, in his current weakened state, he can not risk exposing himself. He turns around and disappears into the shadows, "another day perhaps... we shall meet...."
It past mid day and the hero now makes his journey back from the D.B.C, he is exhausted having to maintain the numbers of drones of the machinery. Feeding fuel to the drones was not an easy task, they had this propensity to explode without warning for no apparent reason. The Hero sighs, he hates the work but he yet again he wants to work.
The hero feels that there has to be something more to life but can;t quite put his finger on it. So he chooses to submerge this feeling and yearns daily to emerse himself in the distractions of the VT and the CP (electronic devices that entertain).
The hero is dreading the journey, however from the corner of his eye, someone catches his attention. the hero knows her, she is a sight for sore eyes, the hero feels lifted and happy. He approaches her to converse and it goes rather well, maybe there was something more to this existence.....
Was at the national stadium last night, responding to the call to be the Singapore team's 12th man, for the first 10 to 20 mins it actually seemed that we could stand up to the tough Uzbek challenge. But it was all downhill from then on, it was almost as though the Uzbeks had a Howitzer and we were using an air rifle or something, totally outclassed.
