The vitality of city life

Yes I’m back again, wif more insights and more refreshed by experiences. Todae was an eventful dae, and got a lot of things to say.

Is shall start wif badminton wif those lao tus from my church. Whoa they siao siao not bad. Some of the shots can serve in between legs leh, zai sia. Doubles at first was abit boring. All the other 3 all competing to show off, but all fail, then got that boy (abit younger than me, ya not everybody is lao tu ya) everytime like dong concentrate one. Either hit lightly so the ball doesn’t fly far, or if its high ball, do smack, which obviously the opponent cannot to hope to return the serve. Thankfully, after a while he retire and me and henry started playing singles.. then the game started to get productive. Can just go on hitting the ball back and forth continuously for quite some time, like that then shiok mah. After that, around 12:15 that time then say bye bye to them, go home bathe then go suntec for lunch wif sean.

Went to swensens, then went to watch Exorcism of Emily Rose. It was good. One of the best movies I’ve seen since The Terminal. Anyways this one very good. Not say very scary but the plot very good..got depth. Even the scary parts were scary for a purpose in enhancing the power of the plot. Quite an inspiring film. This really is a horror movie wif a difference. it was also interesting how the used the courtroom setting to tell the story: simple, original and powerful solution to slowly unravel the plot, subtlely unravelling all the details, but at the same time keeping back some stuff to keep u in susepense right til the very end...this movie's not like other which have alot of loose ends dangling. subtlely they tell the story until in the end of it all u realise that their plot is foolproof. all questions answered, finally honing on the central theme that it tackles: Good and evil, that everything has a purpose and reason. nothing is left to chance: that God used the exsistence of evil, of the supernatural, of the devil to show that He exsists...other themes that it explored also kept me thinking, which to me the hallmark of a good movie...to get u pondering and applying into ur own context. honestly one of the best horror films i ever watched. its definitely worth a watch.

After that gelek gelek around the shops, bought jay chou’s new album,go marina sq, parco bugis, then go city hall downstairs there to eat ya kun kaya and chit chat until close to dinner that time, then went to glutton sq at esplanade there for dinner. Food was ok la, but not fantastic. My standard for food not say very high, but I definitely still won’t go back there to eat again. On the way met mark TAY. Hasn’t change much, but appearances took a turn for the worse. Now got his gay glasses, and I think he put on weight. Whoa talk so big.. what say the aim of jc life is not to get promoted, but rather is to get gd grades. Ahya, talk so big, in the end, he still say his results were fk up haiz

Dong feel like doing solo exhibition tonight, still feel so gd after hearing kuenny’s feedback. Maybe, will continue piaing tmw. And tt mr chia really live in some ulu ulu province un Singapore, yu shi ge jue. Morning sms him say want to meet him re solo exhibition consultation until now haven reply. I’ll give him until tmw night to give me a reply otherwise I’ll just go ahead w/o his comments. In this time and place, time is unfortunately not on my side and I have to finish these paintings by December.
