On Job-Hunting, Clubbing and Weekend Playlist

hunting for jobs suck. i can now understand why people like to stick to their jobs, even if it means cerebral decomposition at a cubicled desk staring at the screen open-mouthed like an orifice for individuality to fall out from. it sucks to have to go ask if anyone's hiring.

i've played 3 hours of pool for two days running, all in the name of job-hunting. playing CS also reminded me why my enthusiasm fizzled out last year. to be stuck in midtable for frags is so not my idea of fun, especially when i'm on counter and the three best players in the room are terrorists. getting my ass raped and still paying for it, now that's stupid. yesterday, i went out with $100.55 in my pocket, and came home with $10.50. (wtf?!?)

much as i hate clubbing, i'm going tonight. out of boredom, and because man utd and chelsea are playing each other only on sunday. i deserve some alchohol. i deserve it, ok? which reminds me, i gotta draw money later :( it's the same party pimped a coupla weeks ago, and i'm only really there to catch up with a bus mate. since there's no freeflow tonight it'd be less crowded (i hope) and if i'm luck they'll open the bar upstairs so i don't have to keep going down. rnb hiphop is so not my style, but i hope their comp in the dj booth crashes so they'll be forced to play some house vinyls~

on a side note, GunBound is addictive.
on a side, side note, i got a Coltrane and another Davis album for less than $30 total! :D i love Gramaphone Records, they just let me take advantage of great deals like that without asking for anything back!

now for the

Weekend Playlist v.Mercurial (very heavy on jazz)

thanks to my form teacher Gary Lim for the proper Coltrane Initiation, Derrick for the Verve Remixed 2 album tip-off, Lady Luck for letting me discover Nightmares On Wax 2 years ago. an article on autism i read a few days ago listed Thelonious Monk as possibly Tourette. a minority of autistic children and savants have distinct talents in fields like music and mathematics. are they happy, i wonder.

lastly, hi Jeremy! :) cheer up, yo!

my 18th birthday's 3 days away, and strangely for someone born exactly a month before christmas i'm not infected by this festive fever. strangely, for someone's who's turning 18, there isn't any adult thing i want to do on my birthday. sans drugs, i've pretty much done everything mildly illegal that's age-related by 15. 18 to me, is just like a 15th birthday, only wiser.

-everyone in unison: 'but what about clubbing???'

what about it? i'm sick and tired of having to tend to drunk shits. frankly speaking there's nothing much you can do at stupid jc parties since the community is so small. girls are just gonna bitch about wandering hands and slightest touches. i've seen my buddies get fucked the next day by bitches who were begging for some lurrrvin' . liked my 15 partying days better: brash, young, and stupid, there were no inhibitions since no one knew me. anonymity is like invisibility is like power. it empowers you, giving you balls you never thought existed. ahh, 15. premature ageing sucks cos there's nothing to look forward to. i feel cheated of 3 years.

-and on my well-speculated sex life, gentlemen don't kiss and tell.

-alchohol? haha. my liver's sooo russian already.

-driver's license is probably the only thing i have to look forward to. and a supp card, pending mummy's mood.

it sucks to feel old. it sucks to sleep for one night and wake up for 2 days. 2 day 1 night routine (sound like some travel agency package). i think i need to see a doctor. anyway, in case you haven't noticed, turning 18 sucks.

and cyber concern when you fall sick
or erode, or wane, or die.
don't worry, you'll always be my friend,
as long as i have access to a computer you'll always be my friend!

it works both ways la,
you got a friend in me
i got a friend in you
we add up the tally nice nice
then can impress people mah
then can feel even more empty when no one comes to save you.
