a little extract from a very very old song that's been stuck in my head for years. this is from So Little Time by Arkanas.

So little time so much to do,
I'd rather spend my days with you,
So little time so much to do,
I'd like to spend more days with you,
And if that day is not enough,
Maybe we can stay in touch,
But i'm not making plans for tomorrow,
For tomorrow never comes.

i'll sing it to anyone who wants to know the tune!

'then let the fucking lift drop down meh'

and with that, my 20 years of never ever coming close to swearing in front of my parents came to an abrupt end. i simply blurted that out when responding to my brother while we were in the elevator. i mean i don't even swear in front of my brother.

gee whiz.

strike one.

ehh erm. my blog post was not anything like what ahtong thinks.

here's what she thought.

[22:48:28] (?????) joyciyoko says:

[22:48:32] (?????) joyciyoko says:

i know i've ranted about this a million times and i should count my blessings instead of cursing and swearing while others are slogging it out as real soldiers to defend our soil. here i am on mc and not working for another month and still i rant and rave. but let me break my vulgarities censure and let it out.

fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk i really fucking hate the fucking army.

alright i feel better already.

in case any gahmen spy stumbles upon my blog. i'm just expressing what i felt on impulse. there's really no rhyme or reason to it. serious. and if you really thought i meant it, then you've gotta arrest the fourskin dudes who made the terrific F**k the army, make love, not war tee shirt that i didn't manage to get my hands on cos i thought they weren't that cool. but oh i'd love to get one now.

so anyway i say to the gahmen spies out there. nothing more to say.

who is the real you? it's a question we just can't answer. well i can't anyway. i don't think there's really a huge difference between the real and unreal me, if there's ever such a term.

sighh.

they just come and go. they go because i make them go and they come because i want them to. here there's a difference between make and want.

what i say is not necessarily what i mean.

hey weikiat. look into your very own bachelor's notepad to catch a hint.

so i've found out that thinking about food digesting will not cause weight loss, more like stomach burn instead.

i told myself that i'd start losing weight once i removed my cast. like i totally believe in miracles cos i seriously thought that i'd simply start losing weight without doing anything to my lifestyle right after removing my cast. it's just like another of my miraculous dreams, one that goes 'i will be rich when i get out of the army next year.' firstly, i have no plans as to how to make it rich. 2ndly, i thought that my bank account would simply increase in numerals just because i'm out of the army with its pathetic pay. 3rdly, i really didn't think i needed to do anything more, i simply thought 'wow i'll be kinda rich next year' but i never found out why. i have a feeling it's going to be the lottery draw with the biggest pay out that'll help me.

so back to dieting. yes so i actually thought maybe i'd diet! but i had satay yesterday, and satay again today. and satay today was after a meal only 2 hours before. after satay there was a huge dessert which thankfully scavenger dawn helped with. couple that with my sore ankle that hinders me from competing with anybody for the last seat on the train, and i suddenly feel inspired to try out tummy trim, this cool funky diet pill thing that claims 2 pills burns more calories than doing 300 abdominal sit up! and it has the nice tummy of a local artiste flaunting it. hahaha.

damn i'm fat.

excerpt from a review on this book favoured to win the bad sex award..

"When Charlotte gets drunk for the first time, Wolfe seems to be egging her on, hitching up her skirt, his prose apparently mesmerised by her legs. For Charlotte - and her creator - student groping is best understood as an anatomy lesson. Her grim date moves his hand, 'first along the side, down to her ilial crest, and up to her armpit and then more toward her abdomen down to the gully that ran from her ilial crest to her crotch'. Her ilial crest?

When the deed itself occurs, after 480 pages of foreplay, it is executed with all of Wolfe's repetitive grotesquery - 'rut rut rut rut rut her body shook shook shook shook and bounced bounced bounced bounced' and so on on on on. And all the while Wolfe's authorial voice does not quite seem sure whether it wants to be inside Charlotte's head or somewhere in the vicinity of her 'mons pubis'. A mind-body problem of his own. Thereafter, Wolfe seems aware that his comic hyperbole does not sit comfortably with Charlotte's sordid sexual betrayal, and he appears to want to collapse his comic bag of tricks in order to identify with the primness and disgust of his heroine: I am Charlotte Simmons. In that attempt lies his book's failure."

somewhere back in time. well last year actually. on this day. this was what i said.

"and now's the time for blogpost #3. i feel so ripped off by singnet broadband, who got me to purchase an ethernet modem with a topup of $38 because 'if you wanna do routing/wireless surely need this'. and guess what? i have no ethernet port, and probably wireless can't be done by this ethernet router anyway. f up. but anyway i'm calling them to complain. ripped off.

3/4s of today was spent in anxiety and asking why things turn out the way they do, and cursing and swearing at something wishing it'd leave me alone. but wishing and hoping aren't gonna change things.

anyway. i now have a webcam. cool huh. alrites. that's all for now. see. matrix revolutions sucked, so does the end of my trilogy. ta da."

well i don't know what i was fretting over for 3/4 of the day. i guess i've gotta blog more comprehensively now so i don't get irritated when i try to recall what i was blogging about.

haha kinda bored at 5 mins to 4 am. so there.

Do They Know It's Christmas?

Band Aid

It's Christmas time, and there's no need to be afraid

At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade

And in our world of plenty, we can spread a smile of joy

Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time



But say a prayer and pray for the other ones

At Christmas time, it's hard, but when your having fun

There's a world outside your window

And it's a world of dread and fear

And the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears

And the Christmas bells that ring there

Are the clanging chimes of doom

Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you



And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time

The greatest gift they'll get this year is life

Where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow

Do they know it's Christmas time at all



Here's to you, raise your glass for everyone

Here's to them underneath that burning sun

Do they know it's Christmas time at all



Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time

Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time

Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time

Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time

i guess, thanks to jiahui, i dreamt that i extracted my wisdom teeth last night. like all 4 of them. with GA. and with no swelling after that. funny thing was, i did the extraction right after my ankle surgery..like i returned to the ward and asked the nurse whether i could do my wisdom tooth too, since i was still kinda drugged. and she actually said something like, "yes of course! why didn't you tell us earlier!" so she moved me into the operating place again and i fell asleep again and i woke up with my wisdom teeth gone.

well actually today i feel like blogging alot. i'm in the comfort of my bed which gives me pimples but well it doesn't bother me one bit hahaha.

i'd like to think we had a good day today. even though it seems more like MY reunion rather than ros's birthday treat. cos i spoke so much. as usual. and cos i was supposedly the one who suggested (some say dictated) where to eat. well we had indonesian food at rice table. it's a really nice concept actually, a pity i couldn't take the prawns and cuttlefish and whatever seafood besides fish. so i had alot of chicken. and i honestly still don't feel full of chicken. well anyway i was out with my cast-ed leg and walking slowly and everything holding my crutch which was more of a hindrance than a help cos i simply don't know how to use it to support myself.

okay enough about myself.

lets talk about normal people instead. today is deepavali. happy deepavali everybody.

well last night i woke up to wash my hair at like 2.30 am cos it was so itchy and i couldn't get to sleep. i hope i haven't gotten head lice.

now my leg is itching. but i can't read under my cast to scratch it. if i can't sleep tonight cos of the itch i'll simply have to blog forever. but then bed time's not up yet.

okay enough about myself already.

43 days to x'mas kids!

well i've never been a christian nor a catholic but i've always had a soft spot for christmas for the past 6 years. that was when i started carolling with vjchoir. well yups it's been 6 years now, back when i was 15 and now i'm 20 and it's my 6th year carolling. i hope my counting is correct. anyway i've moved on to older/other things but i'm still actively carolling cos we're all one big family yea.

well i definitely don't do it for the money cos we don't get any direct payments in moolah. and not becos i believe so much in the spirit of christmas but well it's just nice to entertain the festive crowds with a song or two. and of course some over enthusiastic kids who come to watch their conductors sing. everyone seems to be nicer as we approach x'mas, with the spirit of giving and sharing and everything. yups. simple bonding and everything and the rainy weather makes december almost perfect.

december's the time to fall in love too. not for me of course. : ) . or else the bachelor's notepad you're reading will cease to exist.

i have to blog!! well now that that's out of my system, just realised how true it was when someone mentioned that we're losing our privacy in these times when we're fighting terrorism. basically our pro active government has decided to install nifty cameras which say 'you are being watched on cctv' and increase the presence of security guards. well at where? nah not at food courts stupid, but in schools. so all public schs now will be caught on camera to what. prevent terrorist strikes? well that's kinda dumb considering a student could wear his school uniform, bring a bomb in his bag into the school that he hates and like just blast the whole place down. of course having a cctv there to show us the whole sequence of events will help us prevent the bomb. and what use is a cctv when people really go storming in with guys.

well the only positive thing, as in only sure thing, not positve as in non-negative, i know is that we're really slowly losing our privacy! where will the make-out spots be now when even schools are video-taped?! how'd we know whether any voyeur will make lewd recordings and post them online on a blog like this. hmm. sucky.

:: kiathy. 5:15 pm [+] ::
::::
...

well it's affirmative. nobody blogs about me. haha. i just did my voyeur thing again. well if u want to do the same, just type into google's search bar and hit return and viola u're a voyeur just like me. i did a search for wei kiat and most of it was either my blog or some other guy's blog. totally un-interesting.

but i stumbled upon others' blogs and i wonder like. how can someone be born in 1990?! i was 6 by then. i mean not very old, but the idea that someone can be born in the 90s is pretty scary. and virgin radio's playing gravity by embrace again. for the 2nd time i've heard it already within 4 hours. but no complaints anyway cos i love their songs.

today marks one week that my foot's been cut up and worked on. and i still cannot straighten my knee fully cos the foot still feels like it's tearing apart anytime and blood will spill out and all. tomorrow i will finally get my cast. and maybe see whether the wound's opened up. well 1 week down, 5 more to go..hopefully.

ah. here is my simple routine that i live by.

(timings are bound to change)

2 pm - wake up.
2.10 - brush teeth
2.15 - saunter/swing to the kitchen to check out lunch/dinner.
2.18 - have some breakfast and read the papers until 3ish.
3ish - plonk myself on my bed in front of the com. start hoping for people to msg me on msn.
4ish - nap if i'm sleepy again. if not proceed to continue hoping that someone, anyone, will msg and will have a decent conversation revolving around my leg, my moustache, my goatee, and my little routine.
4 - 5ish - ps 2/dvd if i don't sleep. until 7ish.
8 pm - espn sportscenter. bathe.
9+ pm - dinner.
10 pm - computer/bed again. + reading the newpaper/books.
2 am - asleep.

WOW. INTERESTING EH. but honestly i haven't been snacking alot. really. cos it's so damn troublesome to get from my bed to the fridge and then i have to snack THERE cos i can't move any food with both hands needed for my crutches, spoils the enjoyment so i'd rather pass.

oh anyway thanks for uncle jimbo for introducing me to snow patrol i absolutely love them. and to virgin radio, they never play bad music! but the problem with british stations, as i discovered in brunei, is that they have a really really limited playlist. you hear the same songs even within the hour!

alright here's my first post after the operation. i have to say i've been coping rather well. like right after the op, all i felt was COLD. i mean yea i was drowsy for the first 2 mins when i kept mumbling 'cold cold' and 'so how's my leg' and the nurses couldn't answer me. they gave me this heater thing akin to your hair dryers that i requested to put beneath my blanket cos i was freaking trembling in the recovery room. but no they said i couldn't do that. oh heck it i put it right on my stomach anyway. the trembling was causing my leg to move and that caused most of the pain i guess.

but well after the GA wore off i was kinda sober and awake and very talkative. maybe still a little delirious as i referred to ah zhan as my mother, but well i was talkin so much to my friends who visited - gary, gerald, zhan yuin - that i didn't feel i'd gone thru an operation. and i had a good appetite too. i think SGH's weight gain programme is SURE TO WORK.

i got discharged the next day. i mean it was kinda shocking cos i was still in pain. yup the pain was bad after my friends left..i only managed to get to sleep after a jab. well the nurse was shocked that i had to look at the needle invade my skin. i mean, i dun wanna feel a sudden prick and jump yea. i'd rather be prepared to see it go in and like oo there it is.

here i am at home. on my 2nd day of mc. well my leg hasn't been cast yet, probably gonna get cast next week when i visit my specialist for a follow-up. well my boss is a bitch. he simply doesn't get the fact that hey i went for freaking SURGERY and will be immobile for 2 months. i mean what kind of affection he giving when the first sms i got was 'so how? you on mc?' like W T F. DUH. oh well that left me feeling pretty happy that i didn't bother to do my job too well before i left. i mean. why feel bad for those heartless bastards.

so here i am. blogging away. i'm feeling good. no depression. just kinda troublesome to move around and i can't really stretch my leg fully cos the skin at my ankle feels like it's tearing whenever i stretch my leg too much. but i'm afraid if i dun stretch my knee ligament might go too. shucks.
