monkeycrap's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw.'---Havelock Ellis Seriously, i don't know what in the blue hell's wrong with my immunity. For the past few weeks, i've been training my guts out, sweating like crazy, staying up all night long talking to friends, walking down streets (during weekends) etc. And i feel perfectly fine. But suddenly all kinds of sicknesses hit me for no rhyme or reason. Yeah, the reason why i'm at home now and able to write this entry is cos i'm down with heat exhaustion. It's pretty freaky actually, to see your temperature suddenly skyrocket from 37.3 deg in the morning to 39.5 deg in the afternoon. Plus i've been bleeding from the nose continuously almost every night for like one week now. But i'm much better now after a few days rest. Got my MC extended till sunday. Although the doc's medicine is supposed to make one real drowsy, couldn't catch any sleep last night. So i decided to take an early morning walk to bedok reservoir, to see the old men and women jogging, practicing tai chi and some mentally unstable fellow singing to himself. Wish i could do that more often, but looks like my weekdays in the near future will be spent in tekong. I mean, i've sorta accepted the fact that i've no choice and there's no point complaining, but it still hurts quite a bit to see your entitlements turning into privilleges one by one. Ah well. You aint experience freedom till you lose it. Got myself the 'love actually' soundtrack and the bon jovi unplugged album. Great, great music. I especially love the love themes and 'christmas is all around' from the love soundtrack and 'always' and 'bed of roses' from the bon jovi album. It's damn amazing la, the feeling, after you listen to them. Simple love songs, but so well composed. Payday's coming soon, i think i'll treat myself to another cd. Maybe Dido? Or the Wallflowers? Or Herman's Hermits? Read in today's newspaper that the great capitalistic far-sighted entrepreneurial bourgeois/plutocrats, or to put it in army terms, kok heads, are planning to remake marina square into this new age shopping mall/shopping hub. Well, i mean, it shouldn't be a bad thing, i know its a damn old shopping centre and sooner or later will need upgrading, and perhaps the new place will be much nicer. But i'll miss the place. The peace. The quiet. The almost zero possibility of bumping into other people you know. The smell of the freshly baked ice cream cones from the small stall. The seafood buffet restaurant. The cosy and empty cinema. I mean, i've studied for exams with friends at marina for so many years. Studied my way to an 8 in the Os and (possibly) 4Fs in the As. That place, kinda got some sentimental value, get wat i mean? Well, but i guess as times change, people change, just gotta adapt yeah? Anyway gtg now, gonna watch some TV. Haven't watched weekday tv for quite awhile now. Though the medicine's making me so drowsy, i thought a fat gargantuan indian woman was blocking the screen till i realised i was watching "Achar!". Until the next time, to vong, catface, medora, sof, who're swamped with stress in school, hang in there k? To spike, nut who're in some galaxy far far away, please take care yeah? I've activated my calling card, will give u guys a ring soon. To friends awaiting enlistment, go enjoy yourselves k? To friends already in army, well, Achar! is quite funny really.
