the fragility of winter, that echoes the promises of spring

the fragility of winter, that echoes the promises of spring
In the end, like so many beautiful promises in our lives, our date with destiny never came to be

Another Fruitful day

let's see...its been definitely a long day...whether its been fruitful, its up to u to decide...

Having finally managed to force myself to bed at 5+ this morning after a black n white akira 'seven samurai' dvd and a walk out to a void deck nearby my place for a few cigs, i was finally feeling drained and exhausted and able to rest...well, its absolutely not the most spendid thing to find ur best friend, a guy, laying down, snoring beside u on ur bed, but well, being a true pal, he had volunteered to accompany me thru another long and endless night by hanging out with me, cafe lattes, kambing soups and some good old coke lite...nevertheless, he did not lasted the movie and was soon dreaming about strolling the sandy beaches of waikiki and making endless love with the girl of his dreams in a presidential suite looking across the deep blue ocean with seagulls whipping across the clouds...well, still suffering from a severe condition of insomnia, i continued to finish the movie...followed by the walk, ciggies etc as mentioned above...

finally getting some sleep at 5+ wasnt so cool either as it will be sweet and definitely short...the album clock's been set to 630am as i had offered my kind services to drop my pal off to work in the morning...yes, the one sleeping next to me...pls dun set ur wild thoughts on fire...thats a brotherly relationship going on, no passion, no sex...anyway, we only managed to crawled our way out of bed near 7...dropped him off to work, still managing to squeeze some time for him to get a kopi-o ice to start off his day...so, back to where i shld be so early in the morning...oyasumi nasai...

Embracing my mum's fave phrase 'young people must sleep more, if not got high blood'...i only got out of bed at close to 1pm...setting my day to motion, i got my lunch taken and was off to bedok reservoir for a 2hr kayaking solo expedition. The sun was shining with pride and it looks like a beautiful day to go out there and get a 'oh-my-god, he looks so good with dark skin' kinda tan...nevertheless, by the time i got there, the thick fluffy clouds had consumed the entire sun, leaving me with what's left of a 'cooling day'...no sun, hints of a heavy downpour, roars of thunder from a distance (most prob tampines) and a lazy mindset pathed the way for me to cancel my kayaking adventure...i ended up at a wooden bench beside the reservoir, looking at the overcast sky, embracing the 'cooling' weather and a total change of plans...laying out my essential gear on the bench (my ice-cold sky juice water bottle, pack of ciggies, lighter, spearmint drops and a half-read haruki murakami 'dance dance dance', i proceeded to make myself comfortable for a good little reading picnic with myself...time do flies and with about 1/5 of the book left, it was 5pm and about time to pick my good old pal off from work and a good hearty meal...

reached his office at 530pm, well, saw a slighty grumpy-looking figure sitting by the concrete platform by the drain...so desk neh...it was my fault...got the timing mixed up...his weekend started at 5pm, instead of 530pm...i was late...however, good news for good o grumpy...he made a return call and the girl of his dreams dropped an invitation for him to come by her place in JB...so off we go, voom voom to bukit batok for him to get his bike n passport...'all the best bro' :)

so its back to the solo excursion, made my way down to my fave solo venue 'Cathay'...seeing that there really isnt any other movie that i had not watched due to interest or as a form of time-killing, it was to be - 'The Blossoming of Maximo Oliverios'...The award winning, heart stealing filipino film @ 2125hrs...with lotsa time to kill yet again (*shaking head), it was to be a yakitori bento and a coke lite to accompany me on the final phrase of the murakami 'dance dance dance'...being not in the right mood for reading, i wasnt putting my heart into it and i ended up with a vague understanding of an ending which was confusing and 'cut-short' instead of as it should be...well, seems like i will have to do an encore on the last 1/5 of the book to do it justice...that shall be tomorrow's matters...

it was still only 8pm...with 2 more ciggies down and nothing on my hands, i proceeded to my new fave time-killing hobby - Egaming...Counter-strike again...not enjoyable no more but definitely an effective time slayer...9pm soon approaches and off i was to the movies, with just one more ciggie sneaked in between...

So on to the movies, well...did i set my expectations too high? guess it was the poster citing all the awards and marvellous reviews etc...turned out to be a really average movie with much-to-desire cinematography and a much-needed budget boost...in short, 'low-quality poorly shot movie with an okay story line'.

2325hrs - Still dun feel like going home...mind in mayhem as both sides of the brain argue abt the prospect of supper...well, u guess it...off to the indian makmak stall for a 'eat-for-revenge' outing - Soup Kambing, a kosong bawang prata and most probably another 1000 calories to add to the millions or even billions already residing in my tummy, a place they call 'home'...heavy supper, 2 ciggies, finally...back to 'home sweet home'...

that should do it...another fruitful day...time to catch another dvd before i call it a day... 0140hrs, its already monday
