nikoi island that tiny slice of paradise

 under the table
 pardon the feet it just happened to be most convenient


 jetty-jumped!!!
 the iPod rock
 erm
 sunset day #1
 cool ass bedside (technically couch-side since that's where i sought nightly comfort) lamp
 daily coconut
 hammock
 snorkeling
 seashells
 sunset day #2
 new year's eve performance by the local staff and guest kids
 lovely dinner set-up
sweet aussie lady in her 60s offered us generous slices of her birthday cake, served by the staff and her husband whom i suspect played a respectable part. majority of the guests were australian and lovely, all were friendly to rival the staff.

spent a bare hour of day #2 exploring the entire island (yea it's that small) climbed some moss-coated rocks in the jungle and scared away two monitor lizards. both nights in the hut were complete with sessions of monopoly: 1st night pwned by the bro (i was 2nd-most wealthy) and 2nd night was mine to own. overall it's been a heartwarming overdose of quality family time.

i miss everything about the island already.
Too many bowls of that green no lucky charms
The maids come around too much
Parents ain't around enough
Too many joy rides in daddy's jaguar
Too many white lies and white lines
Super rich kids with nothing but loose ends
Super rich kids with nothing but fake friends
Start my day up on the roof
There's nothing like this type of view
Point the clicker at the tube
I prefer expensive news
New car, New girl
New ice, New glass
New watch good times babe
It's good times yeah
She wash my back three times a day
This shower head feels so amazing
We'll both be high
The help don't stare
They just walk by
They must don't care
A million one a million two
A hundred more will never do

just watched the bling ring and feeling like a legal kid cos i spent a fortune shopping today. technically mom spent and i shopped so call me legal n happy. it feels like i've been waking up way too early lately (oxymorons r hott) (just wedz for uss n today to accompany momma to the temple to burn stuff but) days r starting to feel like chores.



looking forward to vacation #2 @ nikoi: legitimate resort beaches palm trees coconuts soft sand n the shallow sea, commencing tomorrow for the next 4 days. please let all that family time be some quality time


i don't know why i'm blogging so much lately but i attribute all this inspiration to great movies of the past week or so and sudden bursts of inquisitiveness. not forgetting horrid thought-organisation
just spent the most stimulating and mind-boggling hour i've experienced (since as far back as i can remember), watching half an intense debate between three atheist philosophers. barely halfway through and i'm already feeling slightly less alone in this world in my regard of atheism - empirical knowledge, and even cynicism

once again for the umpteenth time i anticipate the prospective 2014. new possibilities, learning opportunities. i have never been this eager or in better words of oddity, saturated with curiosity; bloated with a thirst for knowledge yet unknown

on a much less serious note: went to xcape bugis with part-athena today which in my opinion was a total and complete rip-off. in a less prejudiced light perhaps we ought to have just stuck to the recommended number of players per room. it was a good experience. went mass-group shopping afterwards which was another interesting experience i have no interest whatsoever in repeating

sweeney todd: my failure to properly comprehend the 'demon barber' title pre-movie resulted in an appalled state. partially attributed to bloody scenes resembling the rupturing of ketchup-filled balloons. repeatedly. brilliant melodrama, typical depp

it's all about the experience
would very much love to post these pictures in better quality but my wifi is down so brace yourselves for disappointment

















two pics of my favourite fishes in the world cos one looks like a penguin and the other a comical bob


























went to the SEA aquarium on mom's impulse, and gelato was (one of) the best part(s) of this happy family day. i really ought to treasure these underrated moments, keep them close to heart.

caught up with my movies in the afternoon and then again in the night. blow wasn't my cup of tea, but it was educational nonetheless. which was what i had hoped for. never got the whole jung and american drug-dealing business like i do right now. it never hurts to understand the world a little better. also another brilliant depp experience. splendid. a complete depperience.

next i caught on with extremely loud and incredibly close, in the dead of the night (might i also add how dreadful a movie it was to watch at that hour - not your typical nightmare-repellant bedtime film) oh but how long it's been since i had it down on my to-read to-watch lists. admittedly i never had the briefest idea of the plot albeit the vague impression of an emotional film (which proved right btw)

i still haven't decided if i am enlightened or distraught by what i've just experienced, and while on the topic of decisions i definitely did not intend for this post to span any longer than two lame sentences: one about my fishes and the other on gelato

BYE 1.19am gday ahead everyone



i sang along

so crude it's so good

When I wake up
Yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man
Who wakes up next to you
When I go out
Yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man
Who goes along with you
If I get drunk
Yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man
Who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver
Yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man
Who's havering next to you

But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door









today's going down in the history of our youth

his work is legend. as a person, i believe him to be a whole other universe to behold.
another universe of which i could relate to, to an inspirational extent.

today was a fairytale, perfect in its several simple ways

GREAT COMPANY <33333333










N a whole lot of otherworldly feelings











i burst out crying there right there










man there's just something about this film, i don't know what exactly but it keeps hitting me so hard when i think about it


















Could account it to the idea of johnny (my no.1 hero) and dicaprio both workin their magic together. and leonardo's no. 1 act, of all time, at that age

also to be mentioned:
finally caught frozen, right before gilbert grape and i am finding myself perched n all prepared to leap into a whole new world of fairytale fantasy. next up: USS (it's been over two years)



just teared like a baby watching dead poet's society.

this is one film that not only evokes great insights and feelings of tragedy, but reaches deep into my heart and strings into coherence my feelings and sentiments over literature and poetry. it fully conveys the magic of written work and its one-of-a-kind ability to fill me up with passion. passion, fiery passion in life; a burning need to live life to the fullest and to die with no regrets. i couldn't have found a better way to put it than how kleinbaum did in my favourite quote of this 1989 masterpiece:

“We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. So medicine, law, business, engineering... these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love... these are what we stay alive for.” 

carpe diem, every day, forever.
dad's cny dinner function. probably the only one i'll be attending this year since the implementation of project: 避年





cant begin to explain how GR8 it feels to be sympathizing with waiters while eating at a hotel. and ordering people around and asking for more tea











stuff i ate. bursting outta my own skin


finally going to do myself a favour, washing my hands off this, off you. it's about time we all grew up and out of this shit













warm, gradual restoration of a sense of reality, and certain living habits. and great doses of playground love #nowplaying
