[231107] Another lonesome off day

I think sometimes im better off without an off day, seeing that i always end up spending money and spending time alone. Another off day today, battalion off this time round. Went to suntec city to collect my race pack for the standard chartered marathon. Queued for over an hour before managing to get my goodie bag.

Headed over to Borders next to apply for a part-time position and as luck would have it, the HR manager was out of office for the day and would get back to me and schedule for an interview if im deemed suitable for any vacancies they have. Sigh... i really want a new job, a change of environment seeing that im not very happy working at marche anymore... hoped for the chance to go for the interview on the spot but luck was not on my side.

Strolled down to cineleisure and bought the ticket for Lust, Caution. Had time to spare so popped by Heeren's Billy Bombers for lunch. Decent enough meal, the chocolate milkshake is still as nice as before but blew a hole the size of lower seletar reservoir in my wallet.

Lust, Caution. Overall turned out to be only a so-so film with nothing worthy of mention. The plot is simple enough to understand and are without any suspense or twists. Wang Lee-Hom, the Taiwanese pop singer looked stiff throughout the movie with the lead character Tony Leung not faring much better with pretty much the same expression etched on his face in the movie. The leading lady, Tang Wei had a demure yet overwhelming sadness attribute to her throughout the film but did credibly well in some of the more emotional scenes. The much talked about sex scenes were indeed explicitly raw and emotionally charged and became the highlight of the film seeing that the acting and plot fell flat. One thing that bothered me though was seeing Tang Wei in the buff without her armpits shaved... not a film to shout about but for those curious, still deemed a decent film.

[081107] homeless heart

feeling kinnda light at the moment, the alcohol from last night still running in the system i guess... been a long time since i clubbed. To say i club is a misconception because usually when people club, they drink, dance, drink and dance. For me, when i go 'club', i drink, stone, drink and stone. So i should say, i went stoning yesterday...

Was supposed to celebrate Black's bday @ wahla-wahla in Holland V but came too late and the bloody place was packed... im darn impressed with the band there, especially when they were playing 'lips of an angel'... and supposedly, the live band changes every day... must go there and chill some day... in the end, headed to O bar instead... bought 4 bottles, finished 2 and a half of them, stayed til it closed and attended to the casualties. yf and black wiped out by the Hennessey(s).

Reached home at 0500 and concussed immediately only to wake at 1000 barely 5 hours later unable to visit lala land again... grrrr.. pissed... lost myself in facebook to pass the time... it's with little wonder people lose track of time while 'face-booking'... too many darn things to do inside there...

Bryan Rice - Homeless heart

Lonesome beauty
With a crowd around you
I see who you are

You joke, they laugh
Till the show is over
Then you fall so hard

If you're needing
A soul-to-soul connection
I'll run to your side

When you're lost in the dark
When you're out in the cold
When you're looking for something
That resembles your soul
When the wind blows your house of cards
I'll be a home to your homeless heart

Open close me
Leave your secrets with me
I can ease your pain

My arms will be
Just like walls around you
Come in from the rain

If you're running
In the wrong direction
I will lead you back

When you're lost in the dark
When you're out in the cold
When you're looking for something
That resembles your soul
When the wind blows your house of cards
I'll be a home to your homeless heart
Broken
Shattered like a mirror in a million pieces
Sooner or later you got to find
Something, Someone
To find you and save you
When you're lost in the dark
When you're out in the cold
When you're looking for something
That resembles your soul
When the wind blows your house of cards
I'll be a home to your homeless heart
When you're lost in the dark
When you're out in the cold
When you're looking for something
That resembles your soul
When the wind blows your house of cards
I'll be a home to your homeless heart
I'll be a home to your homeless heart
