: (I) saw a lost cat loitering around the premises and decided to adopt it. it was a cross between 'patches' and 'cookie dough'. a rather huge cat not keen to me carrying it so i let it go but then it followed me into the elevator. a moody elevator that refused to stop at the desired level. up and down it went and i had to get off a few levels below and take the stairs. adopted cat went into my house and mother said i had to give it a bath. (II) at the beach with friends and wading in the water when we saw baby alligators with lizard heads swimming around. we were able to dodge them and finally they waddled to the shore, back to their home, ten feet under the sand. :

the morning has been :
joie de vivre 's 'the north end' (contender for best album of 2010)
your neighbour the liar (both cd eps).

hello to another crazy week ahead!

humour

shifting gears for parallel parking.
you continue to amuse so never cease i say.
rehashed and repeated and recycled ideas.
wrapped and disguised in the name of _____________________________.
to the new blinded audience.

highlights of sunday :
jazz + soul mix cds, the jam session 10",  beautiful skin lp,
boris + qotsa on digital format.

apparently, listening to dubstep before slumber isn't a very good idea.
strictly involuntary i must add.
anyhow...that induced a whole lot of nightmares featuring the worst lot of humankind.
perhaps in this case, using the word 'human' would be too kind. hah. joke.

the other night, i dreamt i grew my own toffee apples.
how rad is that?!
they were the size of chupa chup lollies and they stood on styrofoam trays.
don't remember tasting them but i bet they were good.

invalids may invade.
invalids may conquer.
but like anything else and everything else, only ephemeral they are.

listening to 2 litre dolby.

lacking of and overdosed on

06122010 - 12122010
i probably had a grand maximum of 30 hours total sleep time.
that's not much.
not much sleep = not many dreams and/or
snapshots of images erased once awake.

will make the effort because we need to be recharged.
in order to function. properly.

06122010 - 12122010
also marked as one of the craziest weeks in probably a decade.
thanks to all those responsible.
you know who you are.

riding /the/ rollercoaster on extreme speed.
sans brakes.
sans breaks.

high-fives all round.

as long as you are moving
breathing, still.
react, reflect, remember.
always.

hello from across the sea.

: had to sub for a couple of teachers. in one class i had to discuss the different components of english paper 2 and suddenly time pushed fast forward and i did not have enough time to discuss all the components and could only cover grammar rules. for another class, they had just finished second language and the teacher's desk was in a complete mess. the exercise books were not stacked accordingly and i browsed through to see what sort of work they did and none of them related to the subject at all. for the final class, i met a dance instructor i absolutely detest (this is real - this dance instructor exists and i really hate her) and she was busy sorting out costumes with the students and that took up a lot of my time so i decided not to teach and sit on the desk and play around with a stereo that had twin-cassette players. :

: was about to leave with big sister when i felt a slight pain in my mouth and checked my teeth. one molar fell out. and then the other. :

loss of teeth is usually a bad omen.
usually.

and enough with school dreams, already!!!
oh come on, (sand)mannn...

been listening to sweater weather and the likes.

last night :

: (i) this acquaintance of a person i once knew had just heard the news and was about to have her say when i went up to her face and started lecturing her about goals, dreams and ambitions that had influenced my decision and she actually bought it. like being in a hallmark movie. (ii) a band i like from malaysia played in a school hall with athletes and cheerleaders in the background doing some funny synchronized moves and i was part of the audience who were throwing flowers around. (iii) had to co-teach a new class with an ex-colleague and it was a long climb up to the classroom and when i was just about to introduce myself to the students, ex-colleague suddenly wore an animal costume. it was a cross between a wolf and a squirrel and it made sense in the dream but typing it now, it sounds really fuckin' ridiculous. (iv) sleeping on my bed and out of nowhere two cats appeared. one looked like lulu, and it was pawing my head to wake me up and when i did wake up (in the dream) they both hid inside my pillow. awww... :

compared to before, dreaming about cats this time was not annoying.

some other nights ago :
(when i last heard coma regalia from quantis/coma regalia 7")

: (i) carried a bucket full of water down eight flights of steps. goodness knows what the reason was. and then met my mom at the elevator. she was with her brother and they were about to surprise-visit me but i insisted i threw away the water first. *shrugs* (ii) lived in a dorm and kept running from room to room looking for i-can't-remember-what and going up and down the building, bumping into colleagues and my neighbour who looked like some famous blogger kept barging into my room. his name was elvis. (elvis with brown hair is really wrong, don't you think?)

and some other nights ago, SAA came over again. yeah.

i'm officially on holidays.
oh how fun.
