(Rhu)m at the top

Before I begin my tired New Year ramble, let me say my preface. If you are the villainous snatch-thief here, may you suffer a bad 2008 and the entire lifetime. I hex you.

Now let me ramble.

The remaining days of 2007 had been manic. Manic to finish work and manic to settle some old scores.29th saw me meeting the Big Sisters and then on 30th, it was the much awaited gatherings with the Ex-Yishun Convicts. But before that, I went down VivoCity with Liah. She wanted to get a present for her bf and she asked me along. I, too, needed to get a present. For Sha.


Before making our way back to AMK...

I had about slightly more than an hour to spare, so I walked to the AMK library to do a bit of light reading before making my way to Khatib to meet the Ex-Yishun Convicts.


Rush-Hour Redha, Loveless Laura and Falafel Fairuz

We went to Bilal along Sembawang Road. Service was bad, though. However, it was secondary. We hadnt met collectively as a group for so long now and there were so much news to catch up with, especially news from the old Alcatraz aka that school in Yishun. We were all also intrigued by Falafel's problematic relationship woes. At 2230hrs, we all bundled into Loveless Laura's car and sent Rush-Hour Redha home at Bukit Panjang.


Before we called it a day...

After Bukit Panjang, Loveless and Falafel also sent me home. We did chat at the carpark for a good 30 minutes before I reluctantly got off. Next time, soon.


31 Monday 2007 at Grace's place (Tanjong Rhu) deserved another entry on its own. It's 0335hrs and I need to sleep cause, yes, it's back-to-work day later at 0900hrs. I need to nurse my cold and headache.

And oh, the thrills and spills of the new year crossover.

"Well I was there on the day
They sold the cause for the queen,
And when the lights all went out
We watched our lives on the screen.
I hate the ending myself,
But it started with an alright scene.

It was the roar of the crowd
That gave me heartache to sing.
It was a lie when they smiled
And said, "you won't feel a thing"
And as we ran from the cops
We laughed so hard, it would sting

If I'm so wrong (so wrong, so wrong)
How can you listen all night long? (night long, night long)
Now will it matter after I'm gone?
Because you never learn a goddamned thing.

You're just a sad song with nothing to say
About a life long wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong,
This never meant nothing to you" - Disenchated, MCR


Happy New Year good people. My resolution is [bah!] to get healthier. 2007 was rubbish in the health department. To those whose thoughtful messages went unanswered, my greatest apology. I have no other excuse except that I wasnt in the mood to do so :(

Shall drag my sorry ass and limbs to work.

A thousand times goodnight, mad cap revellers.


P/S: In my stoned stupor, I managed to meet up with Firman, Din, Wanyi and Yiling for Alien Vs Predater 2. Stupid aliens.
