Bad decisions make good stories. And I always have a good story.

Shagged

It’s a word that’s growing on me hahaha. Maybe because it feels like there are no other words that sound as worn out and fatigued as shagged does. I am very tired ok… since I didn’t sleep much this weekend. But it was worth it 😀

I have a lot of half-written drafts that I don’t have time to finish and publish so here’s a quick filler about the weekend. So many things going on! Excited at all the possibilities August is going to bring…

– Went back to office on Saturday just to transfer files
– Preparing for a huge change!! Check our site later 😀
– Planned to go Haji Lane to collect my week-overdue parcel
– Never even made it there because I got stuck at Bugis Street for the whole afternoon
– Went on a mad spree again but idc I love all the sparkly/pink/ribbon stuff I bought
– Watched Wolverine with Amos and Linus… it was all right
– Supper at Swee Choon and this time we didn’t over order hahaha
– Dabao-ed a bit back for my parents and they loved it 😀
– Saw my dad licking his fingers lol ily both!
– Shall bring them there to eat next time
– Already brought them to Mongkok (yesyes wait for the individual post)
– Did some more preparation work for the aforementioned even though I was desperate for sleep

– Woke up at 7am+ on Sunday which is earlier than my waking up time on work days asdfghjklz
– Went to JB for the whole day with Chris and David
– I swear one day in JB puts my whole week’s worth of gym efforts to waste
– Hahaha but who cares it’s the weekend!
– Got home and realised that my brother forgot to clean the furballs’ cages
– So I did even though I was super tired because I won’t sleep well if I know my babies aren’t

– Office felt like a war zone today and everyone’s stressed out
– Left late and was feeling damn lazy so I skipped gym ooops
– Don’t know why I am so hungry today too even though I ate so much urgh
– Let’s save the self-loathing and regret for another day shall we

I am trying to slowly alter my sleeping habits ok. Slept before 1am three times in the last two weeks!! That counts for something. Geez I can’t believe how quickly time flies everyday. Okay gonna bounce into bed now bye.

No not dead!! But updates about my life (loads… and one announcement too) will come another time. I have reasons for leaving my blog to rot as well. Maybe you will know in the next entry, if I ever get round to it.

Can’t believe how good Pacific Rim was! The score composer is a god and so is the one responsible for the visual effects. Watched it twice in two days (last Thursday, ended at around midnight, fell asleep HAHA bite me. And last Friday, ended at 3am but didn’t even yawn once). In this case, the dozing off was a matter of fatigue and not boringness.

Anw I think it has gotten to the point whereby I can tell if a movie is good or bad even if I’m asleep since I do it so often. I liked Pacific Rim right from the start and remained impressed to the end. It’s not like I go into a deep slumber. I can still hear everything but my body wants the shut-eye. Don’t know why it’s so hard to believe I can sleep through a loud, action-packed movie.

Love the movies released this year! So much than last year’s garbage. Love that I watched most of them on either the opening day or way ahead of most people too muahaha there’s so much kick in that. Such as being able to join in discussions and share opinions on Yahoo Answers 😀

The top 10 are fantastic movies that I fell in love with… Now You See Me is my absolute favourite mainly because of it being like a psychological thriller with mind-blowing twists. With a marvellous soundtrack and spectacular visual effects to boot. Don’t think 2012 had any good films of that genre at all -.- Ugh waiting for the torrent and DVD to rewatch countless times!

Hehe here’s the playlist for the whole soundtrack 😀
HAVE I TOLD YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE JESSE EISENBERG AND HIS VOICE

I’m just gonna pretend Nolan was never associated with Man Of Steel ok? It bored me from the start and I fell asleep for most of the movie but did not care enough to want rewatch it. It’s so flawed but I shall save it for my detailed reviews. At least my God wasn’t the director… geez I said I was worried it would suck because it’s made by Zack Synder who made Sucker Punch (which is exactly like its name – sucky and deserving of a punch) and look what happened?!

In the middle of a very engaging fic recently so bye.
