too much phantom punch for judy

something about saturday nights that makes me want to stay up and do nothing. there must be a thousand things going through my mind right now, but because they're in their hundreds i cant seem to put my finger on any, except the keyboard, which, computer screen and everything as we know it aside, really feels like a typewriter when you're editing html in the courier new font.

the week went by pretty quickly. got a little surprise on tuesday when i met rolly at too much punch for judy. as things would have it his daughter was acting in the play...which was more of a moralistic tale of caution than a work of art, but not without fine acting from a group of young teens. there's something about that youth that screams out to you: what have you done with your life so far? how long more before your chances run you out?

everyday has been a rainy day but i cant say ive been disappointed with the weather. in fact, although i hate the cold, i also love the melancholic feel of it all. the sound of them droplets, smacking the floor and tapping the roofs, relentlessly, sometimes leisurely, as if to remind us that nothing could be so important to warrant getting out of bed from under those warm cosy sheets. this i say, but by thursday my nose was dripping uncontrollably. storm clouds up my nostrils.

so it didnt begin well on friday, for i woke up feeling chilly and clogged up in the lungs. until i ran like i never ran before. i think im very lucky- it's not often that many actually improve after commissioning but well, i guess i do things my own way. and for the first time in a longest time (maybe since december) i felt a sense of validation. like i actually achieved something ive been working towards. solid gold baby. and supposedly two hundred bucks more. personal reminder: count ang bao money for chinese new year is many yesterdays ago and it's about time to smell the cash :] then i'll either spend some or save the rest for more of those rainy days.

sondre was another surprise in my week. thanks to cc's introduction, and of course my dad, i can say ive attended one of the coolest live acts this year. i cant say im a huge fan of his slow songs, but his phantom punches and them guitar rifts are too awesome to deny as pure strokes of genius and talent. it was a great way to spend a friday night and the wee hours of a saturday morning. there's something about being engulfed and consumed by the music at night that's irreplaceable. i enjoyed settling down at glutton's bay, just eating and chatting with cc. there's nothing like catching up with a long time friend, because the conversation's easy and never pretentious. very stupidly, i took the wrong nightrider after that. and i shouldve known. i couldve sworn i was more angry with the entire east region of singapore than myself, because why should it exist at all if its only purpose was to get me hopelessly lost in its godforsaken magnitude? ended up cabbing the rest of the way, and felt incredibly lousy, but also happy to know that i was finally on my way home, after yet another long week.

i enjoyed beef steak with my family. and holland v. i pray that there'll be more of those, even if i can't see the humour in life all of the time. i just want each day to be better spent. and other than that, there are a few things that im looking forward to right now. maroon 5. we will rock you. and of course, another timbre outing with songs and company that make me smile.
