After sitting in the theatre showered by the hot-blooded latin OST and haunting images of exploited people, I can't wait to be mugged or killed in UK next month. The allure of danger and lurking of death at every corner is the incentive to stay alive. I'm not hoping to experience the crazy beat trip of Guevera but in every trip. I can't deny the wane hope of attaining beatitude and risking life to find life.
So What do you ppl like to listen to or read when you are on a trip?? I think KIDA is something that provides a sonic fog for buses to swim through when I'm on the sickeningly long bus-trip to NIE. OK computer is like a OST to the peak-hour rush at the interchange when you just push on, oblivious to anything.

My 24th birthday is over and done with yesterday. BD gave me this sketchpad that functions as postcards as well with funny crumbs comics inserted into the cover. She provided me with a paper clip but I can't remember where it came from. Don't be surprised if I can't remember my name next time anyone ask. She made everyone from EMOT wrote congratulations in it heh heh. My sister bought me an authentic Epson ink catridge knowing I always use the sepcom ones. Sweet Piscean. She chose a strawberry cake for me with agar agar on it and giant syrup coated strawberries. My family went to mouth kitchen for some noodles. Quite an ordinary affair but it has its beauty which makes me feel good. By the time I met Uncle Dar, Terence and BD at Brekos, they were already zonked out. Eugene popped by later and he was a zombie. This had all the making of a yuppie friends gathering with everyone looking glazed heh. I got a free beer from Uncle Dar as a birthday treat. Can't say it's hard to figure out what to buy him for his birthday hahaha.

Getting really frustrated with doing assignments. trying to be as political correct as possible to pass; selling out for that peanut pay. This is tonnes worse than NUS cos all the taitai profs are all gathered here for better or for worse. Didn't i already know this before i sold my soul? Of cos I do except i didn't know it will start affecting me so soon. It's just that i see the system i was trapped in for 10 yrs is starting to be lucid clear now.
