wait a min, what's raffles move and groove?
i was doing a blog tour and thee were so many entries to read. three weeks is a really long time man.

feel like i'm eating too much cereal and still trying to make this blog sound more intelligent.
first up, millie: i'm definitely with you on that one. i'm dying to catch an arts fest performance and that 'snazzy, jazzy, sexy, slick and lovely' dance gig will do just great. the sat one man.
haoxiang: yah, i know, everyone went straight to bed. i woke up at 1 plus cuz i was being savaged by mosquitoes. had to change into long pants and wear a jacket. then later got on the bus at 3 plus and slept. and one hour later when i woke up the bus still hasn't moved yet. yeah the dvds were totally desirable. my friends and i were like, don't go into that store anymore! just makes one sad. you gotta send some back..
jack: sorry... after coming home in a cab or my friend's car on three consecutive days, i ended up lying in bed all day today.. but i wouldn't have a voice to sing today..
jiaming and the rest: went to zouk on wed and horrors, there are actually so many people who have a weekday life. like lester our senior, bene, jerald, yikley, song ting etc..

kill bill vol 2 is a blast and gordon liu is such a hoot. watching him talk in cantonese is worth the ticket price alone. will never forget the way he flicks his beard. and thank you sia for putting vol 1 on the plane so that many many people could watch vol 2 with me. hellboy, on the other hand, was less than exciting.

and of course, notes from a foreign land:
i can't believe i spent more than 50 bucks on canteen food, and that's below the average expenditure. see what the privilege of not having to go to the cookhouse does to your pocket? the tay-cino was however, heavenly.
as usual i said some nonsense in my sleep. about 3 friends heard things like 'platoon dead', 'bring your life jacket and hammock' and 'how many battalions are waking up?'. some weird shit huh.
otherwise, time passed by very fast especially if we were outfield. got to be the helicopter marshaller for the jungle village and thus ate a lot of dust. crossed the batu apoi river three times. climbed up mt biang and thank goodness for odac expeditions.. drank lotsa stream water and got disficured by sandflies. ate only desserts and fruitbars most of the time and my lips got abused three times: 1. hit by my own sar21 during a jettison drill. 2. got pierced by thorns when walking. 3. got hit by a branched when it bounced back.
things i wrote i'll do and i already did
eat yoghurt
watch kill bill
buy cds: pirates by rickie lee jones, the bends by radiohead (couldn't wait), mountain soul by patty loveless
go out a damn lot
blog
k box
sleep
read book
things i haven't done
buy clothes
eat good food like lawry's
rent dvds
finish t shirt

oh and we really over estimated the amount of powder, repellent and camo cream we needed. i never used repellent except for my hammock and only put on camo like twice. and did not use up my little saf powder bottle.

and i love brunei, i really do. hah.

i'm having a cough and runny nose and i have to be at the airport in 6 hours time. i still don't know how i got sick.

donnie darko is a film which begs for repeated watchings. i shall not even describe the plot here. it involves time travel, tangent universes, the existence of god, teenage angst and a scary big rabbit. suffice to say, it is the most thought provoking film i watched in months. sadly it cost 4 million to make but grossed only $500,000. and if you watch it, pay attention, or you might miss something.
