everything in
it's right place

i have this really bad sore throat now, so everything i'm saying comes out really really muffled and weird sounding (to me, anyway). bah.

spent the whole day out, something i haven't been doing much lately. especially because it's the whole DAY out, not the whole NIGHT out. which is good! i'd rather it be this way - there's much more to do (other than pubs or club or dota) and there's no taxi surcharge! hahaha.

woke up at 7.30am, quite a feat considering i slept at 4.30am! was rather surprised that i actually woke up on time. cuz i usually have to set the alarm clock an hour earlier than the actual wake up time, and this time i didn't but i still woke up on time! ok heh not much to brag about huh? but it's an improvement, nontheless. had to go to church for the usual sunday morning worship rehearsal, and it was realllllly messy. somehow everyone just sounded so lethargic. i don't really know how to classify it - in terms of what's wrong musically, like playing style etc - but it just seems to lack energy.

i've got a feeling nobody will understand the above paragraph.

anyway the actual service itself was pretty messy, and i wonder if anyone actually heard my guitar (usually the sound crew puts it way too soft for anyone to hear). but after church we went to RITZ CARLTON for some brunch buffet spread to celebrate my dad's birthday. this year was kinda different, because instead of my dad paying, we 3 sons had to pay! being the youngest, my only contribution was to pay for my own meal, something around $120. which is still quite a lot! despite being ritz carlton, like one of the most expensive hotels in singapore, i didn't really find it all that special. maybe because we've been there so many times already.

went out with sarah after that, to watch 'the exorcism of emily rose'. haha horror movies amuse me, to an extent. it's fun to be scared, even though i'm such a useless shit - i was freaked out like throughout the whole show. and some of my friends stil tell me that it's not even scary. gah. maybe it affects me slightly more than others, because it deals with issues regarding christianity and my actual beliefs, so it seems slightly more plausible or so, relatively anyway. not much of a story, but still interesting. 3am, wheeee?

walked around a bit, to funan, raffles city, blah blah. but it still beats stoning at home, sleeping (my rediscovered hobby).

also, perhaps the most productive part of today: i bought more books! especially to last through the next few weeks of guard duties.



still lots of things to do, but thankfully no need to go back to camp. ahh, life actually feels better today! (no camp!!!)
