Far Out

The year's coming to an end soon, and I'm taking stock of unsettling absences.

They are the ones who drive me to do things that I cannot explain otherwise. So I think that I might after all wait a few more months and rough it out. To get what you want, you have to make some sacrifices. This might seem like a lot but I know it's only the tip of the iceberg.

When you want something badly enough, the whole universe conspires to give it to you.
-Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Universe, you have one urgent conspiracy to carry out.

I miss you guys terribly. And also, that FrankenButler and Stupid SelfAbsorbed Moron included.

I think the 3rd episode of Chuck had a little reference to Mr & Mrs Smith.
Sarah and Bryce were on a mission at Bogota, Columbia where Mr and Mrs Smith met for the first time.
Just an obsv.

Kika's daycare had a graduation ceremony for the K2.
I recorded half of the performances before I got too anxious for my camera pouch to be recovered (I lost it halfway and I only found it at the end of the whole shindig, under the seat of the person beside me. I thought she took it and Shimah said it's not nice to accuse falsely. Well, it was found under her seat, I was half right!!)

Kika danced beautifully for the grand finale! The whole school sang You Are My Sunshine, complete with a dance routine. I normally find most kids repulsive but that number made me smile a bit.

Took tons of pretty pictures of her and her friends.






Hello, aren't you a little bold, taking pics of my sister?
Kika told me his name's Angus.


This one looks very studio-ish.




This is the grin that comes when she's up to mischievous thoughts.

Work tomorrow, bet it'll be disgusting. I dislike that old hypocritic hippowoman.
Still, hope I somehow wake up early enough to buy a Macs breakfast to start the day on a good note.

I can never adequately express my love for Simon. Never.
I must confess, his new haircut got me completely offguard but I think he looks pretty darn good with the new shag!

1:07 marks the start of something new. Freakin' mindblowing.
ILU!!11!!!!1!!!!!

Oh ya, ilu too Markyboy!
But we must do something about your hair.

//edit//
I take it back, Mark's absolutely lovely the way he is.
*cue Austin Powers theme and puts on retrochic glasses*

I saw one of the cutest guys I've ever seen personally on Monday.

Lovely tousled hair, twinkly eyes with naturally curly eyelashes, pretty flat tummy (judging by his tight blue and white striped shirt), sharp but a bit peculiar nose (which is really very attractive) and he fashioned a most adorable grin that can only be worn by good looking people with braces.
In short, he's insaneeee.

I'd love to go into details but I already created enough personal embarassment to last a lifetime and beyond so I should just skip it.

Here's something absolutely wondrous and magical about the encounter.
My Brendon (my beloved iPod!) was in sync with my moods and feelings, it seemed! When I arrived at the platform, I set it to play only my top 25 most played songs, and that's where I saw the cutie <3

I'd rather chase your shadow all my life
Than be afraid of my own
I'd rather be with you
I'd rather not know where I'll be than
Be alone and convinced that I know

And this when I was deciding if stalking him was such a good idea after all since I was on my way to my aunt's house in Sengkang and I barely know my way around there, much less wherever he'll be alighting. All this while, the cutie kept taking out his handphone to reply to smses and to bob his head only ever so slightly in time to whatever he's listening to.
Siiigh, he's ADORABLE.

Anyway, third song that played - Hanging by a Moment by Lifehouse.
Even though I kinda wished I was hanging by a moment there with him like its lyrics would suggest, it meant nothing more than the MRT ride being quite jerky at some parts and I was just hanging on hard to the handlebars like he was doing beside me, albeit in a much cooler and nonchalant manner. He has a very stable centre of gravity, that boy (:

After the Lifehouse number, the songs that played were irrelevant because I was smsing Shimah, wasting no time in telling her how the cutie looked like, his sleek and shiny shoes which were big and long, his lovely tousled out-of-bed hair, and my suspicions that he was smsing his girlfriend (he looked like he had one) about the weird girl who kept stealing glances at him (yours truly).

Moments later, Run by Snow Patrol came on and I had to fight the maniacal urge to lol.

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

As it turned out, he alighted at the next station. Mine came after that.
I made my way to my aunt's house dazed and almost euphoric, grinning the classic eatshit grin.

It was a perfect dream while it lasted (I saw him look back when he got off, how insaneeeee is that?!?!!)

To finish this rather effed up entry, Raya pics here and here!

My It song of the moment.

Selamat Hari Raya, maaf zahir dan batin.
