something good
Watched some random NUS production at one of the smaller studios at the Esplanade last night. Honestly I wasn't expecting much, as much as I like to keep an open mind towards creative productions. So it didn't come as a surprise when the first segment came off a little dry, with a backstory that just didn't hint at much depth. The third showcased ( Read more... ) -

Wow. This is impressive. I can feel my brain melting already.
But, nahhh..

A Birthday by the River and Continuing to 'Cope with Recession'
After meeting the softball dudes, headed to aunt's for another session of budget-steak-dinner. Didn't expect it to be my uncle's birthday, though! Damn. But seriously, they have a nice house in a nice location with an awesome view.

Slumdog
Excellent. There might be spoilers below, as much as I always try to maintain spoiler-free posts.
There are few films/shows that can re-use a scene more than 3 times with such success. In fact, my favourite scene was just a 3-second one, which probably encapsulated the whole breadth of the movie. Its a simple story, straightforward and idealistic, ( Read more... ) -
I want that glow
Today I had a good driving lesson, even after 2 weeks of inactivity. In fact, it was probably the best driving lesson I've ever had since I started. True, I still stall on occasion, but that seems to be my achilles heel, the only part about driving I could never really get used to ( Read more... ) -
Confession
Watched Chandni Chowk to China, which was a seriously random decision nick and I made upon realising Changeling isn't showing in a cinema near us.
This is the first Hindi movie I've watched in...7 years?
It wasn't a particularly good movie, and it felt way more "mainstream" than what I remembered. Though, I suppose it still kept its Bollywood roots ( Read more... ) -
that hole i can't find
I feel bad. Its that feeling of emptiness and loss and...depression that I haven't faced in a while.
Its like I have this lack of will do do anything, I didn't even have that impulse to write something about wallaby, 8 weeks ago. Yea, thats the time LJ shows me, 8 weeks since my last post. Thats..long I think, considering my obnoxious, conceited, ( Read more... ) -
9 months at the crossroads
I realise that I've spent much of this year in a state of limbo. First about my vocation, then my section, then my duties, then the possibility of an overseas posting.
That seemed to disappear as no news came, not up till 2 months past when zongda told me it'd come. Then there was the initial rejection, which later became a big maybe. While I'm ( Read more... ) -
i really shouldnt be so bitter.
Its quite odd how i feel quite bad about not getting the posting. Usually such things wouldn't bother me, not even if it happens to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I missed.
But I am bitter. I am almost angry.
Maybe its because of the fact I'm E9L9, and I just can't help that. Maybe its cause the guy who got it was, well, on the inside. ( Read more... ) -
a conscious transition from intoxicated to hungover
He stood as casually as he could. Just don't pick me last, Josh. Tony and his younger brother were the captains, picking players, and it was only when his brother was captain, that Ryan could hope for a shred of dignity. Pick me already, damnit.
Soccer for the 17 year old was a painful experience. He had no ball sense, and he had little balance. ( Read more... )
