the sound of waves,
lapping the shore.
just like the songs you used to sing.
the gentle breeze,
caressing my face.
reminds me of you.
i see the sunset,
with your head on my shoulders.
your hand in mine,
we would have been so happy.
together.

as i type this, my heart is actually beating rather quickly. i'm actually excited about going on my holiday trip!! its been so long since i've taken an airplane. all the sympathetic response is increasing my heart rate and i'm SWEATING (probably due to global warming, its warm these few days) lol. at this time tmr i'd be high in the skies flying overr uhhh... okay. probably somewhere in malaysia cos the airplanes taking off only at 2320hrs. so couldnt have flown very far in 30min rite? (its only 2350 now)

BUTBUTBUTBUT. all this can only come true if i get on the flight tmr. SIGH. i think its full. the stupid A380 flight is full. but i'll get on. i'll sneak in somehow. hide in someone elses luggage bag.

REUBEN WANTS TO GET ONTO THE FLIGHT TOMORROW!! SOMEONE CHANGE FLIGHT PLEASEEEE.


hmm. i just finished reading my lower limbs text. sadly. still have upper limbs, thorax and abdomen, pelvis and perineum AND head and neck. lower limbs sux. big time. most hated topic. followed by PnP. urgh! nvm i'll bring snell along to accompany me on my long flights. SIGHHHHH. so sad rite! =(

i was looking at myself in the mirror and combing my hair when i thought to myself, hmm... why is my hair kinda long already. then i realised the woman didnt change the length of the hair very much. she merely cut it rather thin, so that it can finally stand again. so i was thinking and thinking, and i realised...

THE MORE YOU PAY, THE LESS YOU CUT

think about it. when u were in primary school, and u had to get a hair cut, u'd pop by ur nearest neighbourhood barber and told him u wanted your hair short. so without a word, he'd take out his razzzzOR and ask u to sit very still and give you this disgusting slope cut plus super short fringe (school rules say cannot touch eyebrow). after that u'd pay him like 6bux/8bux and u'd happily skip home.

after u get to secondary school, in secondary 2 and 3, it was the beginning of this $10 10minute hair cut. it was the IN thing of that time. there was even a ticket dispensing machine for your lousy 10bux and a super coolio vacuum cleaner for the person to suck the hair off ur head. PLUS! you get a free comb everytime u went there. that one upgraded you a little in the hair cutting ladder... but it meant that you cut abit less hair. try to play the school rules mah.

so u went up all the way to maybe j1 and j2 with QBhouse or your ECcut. then prom came popping by. being boys who wish to impress, you'd naturally want a good hair cut to match ur blazers and wayyyy sleek Domanchi outfit on prom nite. afraid that the aunty at $10 10min will screw up ur hair cut, you up ur budget a little and try out some salon at Far East (a hell lot of them there) or some better known ones like Chapter2. u pay thru ur nose, but you know that at least ur assured of a good cut. and whats more, the pretty hairstylist scrubs ur hair and shampoooooos it. and while shes at it, you're purring away like some orgasmic pussy. so okay lah, still can. but she cuts less hair now. at least way less than ur $8 bux barber.

now what happens to boys after prom, they leave their hair REALLY long. cos the next time they have a hair cut, it'll be by the androgynous barber @ tekong. until now, nobody noes that one is guy/girl. hahaha. damn scary. they'll be armed with razors, machine oil and a little note book to write ur name (for what i dunno). you give them 2bux and the shemale shoves u down onto your chair and asks u to sit lower or higher in a scruffy voice. then (s)he proceeds to shave off all ur hair, leaving that UGLY disgustingly short tekong recruit hair. the rest of ur army life, if you're a sgt, u pay more like 4bux as a trainee in sispec for a 4-3-2-1 style (abit more hair).

when u finally ORD/disrupt and u're in uni, esp NUS, you have discounts! and u have spending power. so you tell urself, why not go somewhere more highcrasssss abit. so u surf the web and u realise the powers of the NUS MATRICULATION CARD. its ur ticket to cheaper haircuts. they have deals with FOX hair salon for a 50% off haircut which means u only pay $22.50, which isnt that bad for FOX hair salon. or a 15% off chapter2 haircut. so u start playing around with all these higher end salons/boutiques... but at the end of the day you cut less and less hair. like every 3weeks needa go trim it.

whats the moral of the story..

money you pay is inversely proportionate to amount of hair cut. hmm. food for thought.

WOAH THIS BLOG ENTRY SO LONG. OKAY. SHOWER TIME + ONE GAME OF DOTA. NITES! :)

im counting down to my holidays. and my first Professional MBBS. sounds scary doesnt it. its uber darned cold over there in London, Birmingham, Cambridge and Manchester. i'm sooo scared i'll freeze to death. pray hard i get onto the flight. argh.

i feel like an amoeba.

ME and KORKOR @ timbre. stupid rui never take peeeekcha with me!


OMGAAWD. jap food. yummm.




the river or the sea? which would you have chosen?

it was a simple storyline. albeit a slightly cliched storyline (yes i guessed the plot 30 minutes into the show), but the emotional bits were played out really well. simple sincere gestures that showed what true love really meant. because when you're in love with someone, you're interested in the small things. small day-to-day happenings in the life of someone you love makes a difference in yours.

i liked the show because of its artistic elements. throughout the entire show there were a million and one juxtapositions. Hiro and Yu, Hiro's too-cool-for-you appearance that hid a loveable personality underneath, Hiro's parents and Mika's parents, love-sex and rape-sex, the loved and the scorned. it was interesting how the director was able to weave all these elements into a seemingly realistic storyline. at the same time it was cruel though. as life forever would be. four people who could never be together watching koizora.

something in the show touched me. it was a simple statement by Yu. as much as he was in love with her and didnt want her to leave, he knew that true love desires happiness for that person. and with that, he told her never to turn back since she already chose the path to be with Hiro. he didnt want her to see him cry. it really touched me. his magnanimosity. his willingness to love her beyond himself.

きみは幸せでしたか。
"were you happy?" -Mika

とても幸せでした。
"was very happy" -Hiro

afterwhich he changed it to,

とても幸せです。
"am very happy" -Hiro

================================================

yesterday was rui's birthday. had dinner and relived our good ole army days (6months of sheer torture). of shellscrapes and fieldcamp and slack Hawk vs tough delta. it was fun. but the thought of having to go back once more to serve as an MO and to go through MOCC for 4 months in neesoon camp sux. i dont wanna go back. arghhh. i wish there werent exams so i could just enjoy my university life. i still have to mug lower limbs cos exams are in 3 weeks and i have to make up for lost time because

あなたは幸せだったら、私も幸せだ。お誕生日おめでとう。

having slept at 530am for the past few days of the week, i've not seen the sun rise for a very long time. half the time, in fact nearly all the time, when i wake up, the sun is already setting. its amazing how i caught the sun this morning. =) and the sun rises really kinda fast. it was peeking out from below ther horizon just a few minutes ago. now its shining right into my eyes.. but i think its beautiful. and the air is fresh and cool. great way to start the day. i'm gonna sleep after i finish this horrible histo crap. then wake up to more ANATOMY, the bane of my life.

a new skin for a new year, after my exams that is.
