another lazy sunday afternoon

Sunday. Its the only thing its good for. What else do you expect to do on a sunday? Sunday afternoons are meant to be lazy. take a break. A week or hard work has just ended and another week will be starting shortly. I'm tired. Didn't get much sleep last night. I was on guard duty. So what else better to do than to sleep. I'm sure many of you were doing the same thing anyway.

My little Fur-Balls

These are my little fur-balls. Batman, Robin, Blackie, Goldie, Cutie, Softie and moe. Cutie, Softie and moe's names were chosen and given by my mother. They live in 3 cages and they love to eat sun flower seeds.

Give them an inch and they'll go a mile

Scenario:

boy : daddy I hate you! I'm going to call the police and tell them to take you away. (raised voice)

daddy : -silent-

boy : daddy, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you! (shouts)

daddy : -silent-

mummy : boy, don't like that. Its okie. (whispering)

boy : No! I hate daddy. I want to leave. I'm going to call the police.

daddy : -silent-

mummy : its okie boy, don't be like that.

me : SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!! (screaming in my head)

Interesting conversation don't you think? I was quite taken back by the tone and the way the boy was talking to his father. What surprised me even more was that fact that the parents did nothing. The father just sat there and kept quiet. If it was my dad, he would have beaten the living shit out of me there and then. But no, this boy's parents decided not to do anything.
What is becoming of parents these days? They are spoiling their kids. Give them everything they want and protecting them from everything. It is really getting out of hand. But what can we do? Singaporean parents are becoming too soft now days. Sad!

*The little argument that took place between the boy, his dad and mum happened to be in the cinema. I was watching "The Myth" with Jas when the boy, sitting behind us, started throwing his temper around.

Go Forward

Do you ever think back and regret?
Ask yourself, "Now why did I do that?"
Funny isn't it, how we only think after we've done something.

I choose to live without regrets.
Asking myself, "What if..." Never helps.
That's the way life is.
You made the decisions all on your own.

So why cry over spilt milk?
Might as well learn from your mistakes.
Don't hang on too much on the past.
Let it go! Time to move on.


*PS: Thanks Nur for the picture.

Food for your soul.

Lethargy seems to be the special of the week.
The soup of the day just so happens to be anxiety.
Add a side order of fustration and you almost have a set meal.
Quench your thirst with a glass of failure and you're satisfied.
Full yet?
How about a dessert? Yes? Wonderful.
Here you go, have a slice of optimism.

Eat your fill. Till you can eat no more. Its free anyway.
The buffet never closes. 24/7, it reads on the menu.
Gluttony is your best companion.
Indigestion, your worst enemy.
Starving is never an option.
They have everything. You name it, they'll make it for you.
Never able to fill your bottomless pit.

Insomnia

I dread the passing hours as I sit here and procrastinate.
Procrastinate about everything and anything I need to finish.
As I sit on the porch I watch the everlasting war.
The day has put up a good fight but like yesterday and the day before it finally gives in.
Struggling to stay above the horizon, it quickly fades away.
Smiling like it did the night before, the darkness engulfs me and everything around me.
All of a sudden everything seems so quiet; so still; so alone.
Nothing but the huge smile looking down on me with stars as its eyes.
Its is now that my fears start to manifest themselves. They love the dark of the night.
I turn my back upon them but I hear their snarls and hisses from afar.
I can sense them getting closer. Faster. Bigger than I last remembered them to be.
I envy you. You who are able to have a good's night sleep.
Well, you go to sleep. You need the rest. You have to wake up tomorrow morning and work.
Me? My day starts now. As the light gives way to the blackness, my day starts.
So go on and get some sleep. I'm off. Off to who knows where. But I cannot stay here.
Work has to be done. Tonight I fight my war!

... Just like last night and the night before that.

Money makes the world go round.

Round and round and round and round... damn, I'm dizzy. But there is truth in that there is. You may say that money is not everything and I definitely agree with you. But right now, I just wish I earned more money. I can't really complain though because my current pay is already considered quite good. I just wish that I had a little more. With all the bills and stuff I need to pay every month I just wish I had abit more. Take this month for instance...

Month of Oct '05.

This month's income.(including small bonus for marksman) $2180
Minus both my monthly insurance policy - $400
Minus my HP bill - $100
Minus my computer monthly installment - $160
Minus my school fees - $300
Minus my holiday trip to Menado - $600
Minus Raveen's Birthday Present - $200
Minus spending money I'm bringing on my holiday - $200

That Officially leaves me with $220 for the month of October. This $220 that I have left has not even included the money I have to set aside for transport. So after deducting lets say $100 for transport, I'm actually left with only $120 for the whole of the month. How to survive? I still need to go to work everyday. I still need to attend school at night. I still have a wonderful girlfriend that I want to go out with. How? Jasmine keeps telling me not to worry about it and that because I am so broke we don't need to go out. How can I do such a thing? I owe it to her for putting up with all my whining and complaining.
What am I supposed to do? Money is definitely not the most important thing in the world but it certainly makes the world go round.
