[[A Poem.]]

I've reached a fork in my life,

I could go left, or I could go right.

To have made mistakes in the past,

It's a feeling that I hoped wouldn't last.

Maybe I'm right to be bitter,

But to carry on wouldn't be any sweeter.

For the fact that she's in my life,

I've reassured myself that I've done it right.

So to all who thought I was emo,

After this post I'd doubt you'd think so.

For I couldn't be any happier,

because I've found someone that's always here.

[[Movie Review.]]

A Christmas Carol: Yes, Disney has once again done a remake of Charles Dickens' classic, a Christmas carol. This time with funny man Jim Carrey playing the stingy old man Ebenezer Scrooge. We all should know the story by now... unless you've been locked up in a box since the day you were born. But for those who don't know it (god forbid), I'll do a brief summary. Scrooge is very stingy and heartless, until one night he is visited by his friends ghost saying that he'll be visited by 3 spirits. Ghost of Christmas past, present and future. As such, he is brought on a journey through time, showing a very grim image of his wrong-doings and how they affect him. Obviously he learnt his lesson and began spreading Christmas cheer the next day, Christmas day itself. He was a changed man and made everybody's lives around him a joyful one indeed. Just a heart warming Christmas tale that's been told for centuries. But since Disney has done it before, I was really hoping they could top themselves again. Aside from the fantabulous, yes I made a word just for it, Animations and effects, I felt that the storyline was too dry and had no special Disney twist to it. So that sort of demolished a chances of a good rating.

All in all, i say the plot had alot to be desired. But in a animation sense, i think this could very well be the future of animation, however cartoon-ish characters are still welcomed.

[[The Hangout Place.]]

Its midday, class ended early and I'm sitting here alone. She has lessons, the guys have lectures. You might think that I'm being a loner by isolating myself, but I've grown used to this feeling. Being alone in this world with no one to trust and no one you see fit to help you in times of need. Yes it's a horrible feeling, but it's one that I'll have to get used to. It doesn't hurt as much as before, to think about it would be like driving daggers into my chest. But I've tried to suppress it as much as I can and I know that there's still a long way to go before I get over it.

Listening to some music, Michael Jackson to be exact, trying to drown myself in work to rid my mind of these thoughts. I know that I have sinned and probably casted a truckload of curses, for that I don't mind going to hell. I mean if I didn't then I guess I would be sort of emotion-less. But if a hurt like that could come pouring down so quickly, I would be more than happy to cut ties and get on with life.

I guess this has really taught me a lesson, friends, can be kept for we all need them. But just be aware that you should never let your guard down or let them into your world for that matter. Keep them at arm's length and life will be smooth sailing. Don't trust anyone, or trust yourself the most. For if you even let someone behind that barrier, I swear they will step over your head and kill you without thinking twice. I've learnt that the hard way.

But its bitter-sweet I would say, for if this didn't happen, who would've known when it would? A backstab could have happened much later in my life and cause dire consequences. So I'm glad it happened now, at least it gave me a slice of reality and knocked some sense into my head. But don't take it the wrong way, I'm not thanking anyone but fate itself for giving some street smarts. So to whoever caused me this grief, thanks, and I guess I'll see you in hell.

[[Trust.]]

It's one of the hardest things to earn and the easiest thing to lose. I'm sure that most of you have lost trust from people and discarded trust from people, but let me say that in life, YOU CAN'T TRUST ANYONE. I'm not kidding. No one, only yourself and to a certain extent your significant other. Trust me, I've learnt that the hard way and it seriously sucks. So I apologize if I've not been like myself lately. You will never see that Graeme again, for that guy just wasn't cut out for this cruel, cruel world.

I guess change is inevitable, it's just when it happens, you'd better be ready for it. So why not make the change yourself? Yes it might take some effort but believe me, if you don't do it soon, people are going to find that weakness and step over your head.

Guess that's the hard fact of life. But it's not to say that we all shouldn't have friends, sure a few close ones are fine, you just got to know who's to keep and who's to just leave behind. And yes, you are going to leave behind a lot of them. Yup, lonely, cold, desolate. Probably just you and her/him in this world. Fighting it out together.

The wind blows through my window, and straight through my soul.

I lie awake in bed, thoughts of the past slowly creep into my head.

If I could turn back time, would I be able to make everything fine?

Probably so, but the inevitable would have still happened.

[[Jazz.]]

What is it about that jazz that fascinates me? Maybe it's the rhythmic notes or soothing tones that are so powerful they ease to my soul to no end. After a hard day's work or studying, it's really nice to unwind to some jazz. Be it piano or smooth, it has this hold on me that can just smoothen out every bump, every hiccup, every imperfection from my soul. And it's easy to say that I've been listening to a lot of it lately. Calming my mind and relaxing anger. Yes there is anger rampant inside me, and I won't say because of what and who, all I know is that there's been a surge in the amount of white hairs on my head. Haha.

Anyway, MSTs are drawing ever so nearer, and so far I could say that not everything I've done has been showing the results expected. It's pretty demoralizing really. But I'll press on, get my work straightened out and get that freaking 3.9. For both my sake and her sake. Ok maybe more for my sake but I'll take any motivation I can get, especially the most powerful one sitting in front of me.

That's it for this post, gotta get back to my work. Left econs and stats now.. haha. Pacc's done!

[[Something to entertain you]]

So Darren and Perry have come up with this online radio station, as Perry is in mass-com and Darren wants to kill time. Go figure.

Been listening to it for awhile. Not bad I would say on music selection, more of alternative rock and turn of the century pop.

But you shouldn't take my word for it, go ahead and check it out for yourself here.

Cheers.

[[Sitting here…]]

So its stats lesson now… been a while since I've done an intellectual post… haha. Guess those are a better read than my boring life. So here's one to rattle your mind.

Topic: Individualism

Read this article just a few days ago. The author had a very interesting view of individualism and somehow I support his stand. In today's society, where big MNCs and huge retail outlets run the fashion line of the world, it is pretty apparent that we are all losing grip on our very own hold on individualism…

Back in the 60's and 70's, it seemed like individualism took center stage, and its epitome was Woodstock. People from all different backgrounds and races celebrated their common belief to break free from the vice grip of the big powerhouses that were intending to monopolize the market. And it almost worked, for there was a strong belief that circulated around, until the authorities clamped down on it. The valiant effort by the hippies did end and soon the conglomerates had it all for themselves. Brands such as GAP and LEVIS boomed and took over the market with one fell swoop.

What is it about society that wants us to conform to it? Is it safe to say that what we wear and how we act is considered normal? Based on what do we define normalcy?

Yes. If anyone can answer me these questions, you'll find it contradicting again and again and again. Truth is, it's a never ending loop that won't let itself go and probably never will.

Why? Society is the main cause of this problem. Every time someone tries to be different or unique, society finds a way to silence it and push it into oblivion. It's just human nature to resist change, always wanting to keep the present and suppressing any other outside influences. It might be a shocker to some of you, but that is the sad truth. And for society to progress forward will see the need to change this mentality and keep it that way. It might not happen now or in the next decade, but sooner or later there WILL be people who will wise up and take the lead to bring us onward to a better future.

I hope this post helped open some of your eyes about our society. Maybe you're the one to lead us into the future, but for now we'll all have to conform to the rigidity of it and muddle along in our lives…

So here's to having a great time while we still can, cheers.

[[Outing! Minus the guys…]]

So I went out with Sharlene<3 today for dinner… it's sort of a weekly thing that we have. Assign one day in a week to go out for a meal together. Just keeps the bond strong you know…

Anyway I intended to go to New Harbour restaurant and bar for dinner cos the steak there was awesome. But when I found out that my auntie was going there too I changed to Marche at vivo city. Haha. Just didn't want her to see me in a private moment…

Had steak ( Wagyu beef in rum marinade to be exact ) and she had Sirloin. Finished off with a root beer, shared of course. She keeps my money in check now by giving me a budget for every meal. Really, you couldn't find a girl better than that.

We were at the top of vivo so there was some wind chill and being cold today, it really made her very, very cold to say the least. Headed over to the amphitheatre where we sat down and she 'made me be a man' by means I shall not discuss…

Then we left and I sent her home…

That's pretty much it for our outing, to those who read this, it might not sound like much, but I can safely say that when I'm with her, I swear to god its THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE!! You get to know so much about a person just by spending alone time with them… it just feels great after that.

So till the next post, this is a very happy Graeme saying see ya!

[[Woah. It’s something new!]]

Guess you guys can't tell it but I'm actually typing this post from MS Word!!

Thanks to Darren for introducing me to this function on Word… but the only problem is that I can't upload any photos. But it's so much better than blogger's own URL.

I mean, the auto-caps, the grammatical error fixes are all such a relief. Less pressing of the shift key from now on….

I really, really like it a lot.

Now for the pictures issue….have half a mind to switch to wordpress…

Guess I'll be mulling over that issue..

[[Life.]]

Unexpected, interesting, full of adventure. If we had life the way we wanted it to be, it's easy to say that the world would be a very boring place to live. The highs, the lows and the occasional hiccups, all bundled together and slopped onto your plate.

Simply put, life's a bitch.

But on the hand, if life wasn't full of drama and emotions, then won't the world be lacking something? Personally, I feel that whilst drama can be avoided, it's still necessary. For the reason that life wouldn't be worth living if not for it. The irony is tremendous, often making you question yourself over and over again.

I can't say that this will apply to everyone, but I have a feeling that most of you do feel this way. It's tough, but life is never a bed of roses. Sacrifices must sometimes be made just to hold on to what you want and uphold your principles. It hurts people along the way, I admit, but then again success is never easy to gain. Examples proliferate the globe already and if you want to be happy then I guess you have to be strong on your 2 feet and learn the ropes.

If not the world will eat you up.

[[So it had to come to this.]]

It's been a rough day for me. Emotionally torturing, tons of stuff that you could throw into any drama, and make it look good. But fact of the matter is, I've found out that you really can't trust anyone in this world.

Even if you've shared thick and thin, been through over 2 years of friendship, apparently they can still backstab you... I won't say what the matter is and over what, but suffice to say that I finally understood what kind of person you are.

Simply put, it's disgusting. If there was a raging river next to you, I hope you feel compelled to jump in and drown. Cos I'll be smiling on the river bank watching you die.

Sorry bout the rant readers, I just needed to bitch it out. Feel free to go to other more interesting sites...

So from this day forth, it'll be like I've never met you back in sec 3, never gone cycling, F1 or any other outings with you. You've been erased from my life, but for all the good times we had, Thanks. I've learnt alot from you, but alas it has to end, although this was never the way I wanted it to.

You take care, for maybe in the future our paths will cross again and maybe by then it wouldn't be so hard to face you. But really, I suppose time won't really heal this wound...

Wish you all the best for you future endeavours, stranger.

[[Writing from the soul.]]

Life is all about balance. Whatever we set out to do, we must always achieve a balance on both sides, compromise and you shall be rewarded. I guess what I'm trying to say is that in anything you try to do, just have in mind the pros and cons, dos and don'ts.. I guess most of you know by now that I'm in a relationship, and possibly I could offer one piece of advice to you..

Control.

You always have to be in control of wherever both of you are, be it with or without your other half.. it may just apply to me, but I guess this post could help you. You've got to always keep things transparent between the both of you, if there's anything that needs to be said, just say it. And hopefully you both can work it out as a team. It won't hurt anyone deeply to speak your mind, and if they can't take it then, you know what kind of person they are.
Communication is really vital for a relationship to work and if neither of you can do it, you're better off alone. I know I might be jumping the gun by saying all this, but you really do learn alot about yourself when you're in a relationship. What others perceive of you and what are your flaws.. Just take everything with a pinch of salt and move on, learned from your experiences.

Goodnight.

[[Michael Jackson's This Is It.]]

I would say that this movie was pretty good, or maybe I'm just a michael fan..haha. Ok to sum it up, it was about 2 hours of rehearsals from his upcoming concert which never happened..sadly. Now the music was all of the classic chart toppers, plus the fantastic dance moves seen by millions all over the world already, but what I found or thought was the most inspired addition was the various videos that were going to be incorporated into the concert. Such as the newer 3D thriller video with the ghouls and ghosts jumping out of the screen. It's a very simple, sort of home video movie pieced together by Kenny Ortega and then put onto the big screen. However, it won't be something that I would want to watch in the theaters again. I'd rather have it on a dvd where its easier to watch, cos 2 hours in freezing cold cinema isn't exactly worth it for that movie, sorry to say.. But for all your trouble of putting it together, Kenny, its been a privilege of watching it and getting a proper glimpse of the real Michael Jackson. Thank you.

Yea thanks dear for your photography skills!

Ok the reason why I wore smart casual was because it was class colour co-ordination day. It's totally Sean's idea, that every Friday we wear a certain colour and everyone has to do it. So this coming friday would be purple, gay pride day much..

[[HAHA.]]

So something really funny happened today... It all started with Sharlene posting a link to the mr/ms photogenic for SP.

So as a prank I decided to nominate Wilson for it since Darren was already nominated. Thanks to Sharlene. Haha. But apparently Wilson thought that i was going to nominate Yeow Dong, so when I said "hey I'm gonna nominate ok?" , he said "go! go! do it!" , and Darren and Sharlene were all "NO! Really don't encourage him!"

But he was persistent.

"Quickly Nominate!! I dare you go do it!!"

So you can only guess what happened....

Click here and scroll all the way down...you'll get a good laugh.

So that's probably one of the funnies things that's happened today.. gotta do my econs homework now. So till the next post, ciao!
