DisturbedMet Clement and Aloy for lunch yesterday, followed by a movie at The Cathay. It was good catching up with them since it's been eons that we last met.
Lunch at Billy Bomber's was pretty decent, but for that price, I expected something more. Actually, I expected a whole lot more.
Harold & Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay was the movie we subsequently watched after wandering around Plaza Singapura after lunch, where Clement got his hands on
The Secret DVD for $10.
Call me a prude, but I did not find the excessively crude gags and vulgarities uttered mildly amusing. It disturbs me to think that our youths are being exposed to such stimulants, to the point of being so numbed that they think nothing of it.
It was all I could do not to waltz out of the cinema and head home for some rest and respite from the merciless afternoon heat.
What I did find amusing, however, is the ongoing campaign to encourage Singaporeans to conserve electricity. Instead of educating the public - which never does come to fruition anyway - the NEA has creatively dangled a most attractive carrot to motivate the average television-watching, air-conditioning reliant Joe: a chance to win an automobile.
It's a little sad that the people residing in this sunny - and some (like me) say HOT - nation need a tangible price in order to consider preserving our precious natural resources for their future generations.
I guess the notion of their offspring needing to pay thousands of dollars for one barrel of oil simply isn't enough.
Sad, but rather amusing nonetheless.
Maybe, just maybe, we might wake up and smell the polluted air when we run outta nice, furry, cuddly Polar Bears to gawk at.

Persuasion...Is the title of the Jane Austen classic which I am, even now, trying to plough through.
So now you know what I've been doing with all this free time I have dangling off my two hands and feet.
And I've realised that I've only been blogging once a week! Oh the unjust travesty of it all.
I shall endeavour to put my thoughts into writing more often, else risk the continued degredation of my writing skills as my days of idling go by one by one.
As you may have guess (oh you of quick wit), being a full-time bum indicates that there is not much happening in my life, except for the poor occasional bug which I crush - unintentionally mind you - during my peaceful slumber.
Not that I'm complaining. If I could do this for the rest of my life while supporting my current lifestyle, I will perhaps be ordained as the happiest person in Singapore instead of some overworked engineer.
Well, on a more serious note - yes, the lady actually thinks from time to time - watching the people around me settle into nice, cosy little relationships do affect me a little.
I'm not hankering after a relationship, but I'm not ashamed, nor am I afraid to admit that it will certainly be nice if Daddy sees fit to gift me with that special person at this point in my life.
Someone who loves God, someone who serves with a whole and pure heart, someone who has been well-established as being made of husbandly material, someone who meets my criteria (I've made a list, and checked it twice, mind you), someone who has been handpicked by God for old, kooky me.
In the meantime, while I wait, I will strive on, and complete my goal of finishing all the romantic Austen novels which I have on my hands.
Yes, a healthy dose of romance.
That's what all the ladies need.
I guess.

Fabulous FredThe sight of my team's mascot lumbering off the pitch last night before kick-off tickled me for some strange reasons.
Furry mascots do that to me, and my sister Sharon.
Especially when bad, odd, unimaginable pain-inducing things befall their massive beings. Talk about the weird gene running in the family =P
Thanks to Frank and good ol' cable television, I was able to witness a spectacular game of soccer last night, as well as enjoy a good chill-out session with a couple of my cell members.
Final score: Manchester United 2 - Arsenal 1Ah, the priceless sensation of watching your team take apart a truly worthy opponent. I guess a few dark circles the morning after is well worth it. Oh well, this is evidently nothing that a good
tong shui can't cure=)

So, here we are...Where untruths seem to be the catch of the day.
Where there is so much to be said, yet not a word has been spoken.
Where I simply do not know how to react anymore.
Where the need and desire to protect you has overtaken my need for self-preservation.
Let's see, other than that, God's been good; I've been learning so much from him, and the fellowship I've been exposed to has been nothing short of awesome as well =)
MF's birthday dinner did evoke that tinge of envy in me, but I trust that my time will come, and that Daddy will surely provide, in His own perfect timing.
It's such a joy not having to worry, and to just bask in His love, and to take delight in spending time with Him every single morning.
Oh yes, booked a new family car, so that's something else to look forward too =)
Ah, how my eloquence seems to have deserted me for a more alluring paramour.
