Oh dear. This saved post was from LAST WEEKEND. Meaning, last, last Saturday. -_- Comments in italics! Haha.
Yay. With Jenny at Bar None.Meh. You know you're done for when you wake up in a panic on Saturday morning at 7am panicking "I'm late, I'm gonna be late for work!!"... and then you realise, it's SATURDAY. I don't think I've ever been more thankful for Fridays before working; now I truly understand the idea of TGIF.
Looking forward to The Dark Knight. Watched it; it's great! But don't think I managed to catch every bit of it. And plus, I dislike it when shows are overhyped and you end up expecting things. Heath Ledger really WAS good though, I have to agree. Such a fun role to play!
And here's what I've been trying to post for the last week, but had no time to. Basically just a lot of rambling, really.
Y'know, the funny thing is, I think what people think they want is sometimes really not what they want after all. We think we want it, but maybe we don't. Not that much, anyway. But I kind of haven't, so I wouldn't know if this theory is correct. Or maybe I'm getting this idea, because whenever people are close to getting what they think they want, they push it away because 1) they're scared of actually getting it, and/or 2) misguided about what they want.
And life likes to dangle carrots. But of course, just when they are almost in reach, it is taken away, almost like a taunt. And people still wonder why some people are so cynical and walled up. I've had it up to here with emotions. They really are kind of useless, aren't they. Just... not going to be coaxed out of cynicism by hope once again. I can already sense the idealist buried deep inside disintegrating with every blow from life. I don't think I want it to die, yet.
But I think I've kind of finally figured out one of the underlying problems to my problems.
And, contrary to popular belief, cabs do NOT exist in Singapore, especially when you need one. On Sunday night, there were no cabs to be seen on the road, with the cab queue snaking round and round the red barriers. I was also put on hold by Comfort and Citycab for nearly 10 minutes I think. Tried calling at least 5 times. I think it's an issue of imbalanced suppy and demand. Sometimes there's way too high a passenger volume for them to cope, and sometimes there are absolutely no passengers and super a lot of cabs. There's something weird about this. And well, I have to remember to consider that I can't always get a cab even if I call to book, nowadays. Or risk ending up late all the time, haha. Of course, this is just an isolated incident and perhaps it's not a sign of a public transport problem. But when your job is to read the newspapers every day, you kind of know that you're not alone in facing these problems. And people still wonder why a significant number of people still prefer to drive.
And gawd, I hate to say all this, because I sound like a fricking Singaporean hahaha. Every damn thing also want to complain. But the thing is, these things are all true. Okay end of rant.
More food for thought -
Check this article out. It's funny in a warped kind of way - so what was/is it, some sort of biological/sociological/psychological experiment?...
Great. I really have been too busy to blog. This past weekend has also been a flurry of parties and events... Beatnik/Traffic Jam/Playeur Ink... more on those later. Haha. Over and out.
