first of all, HAPPY FATHERS' DAY! haha... hope all y'all fathers had a good one 2day, with love... somehow i should be celebrating 2day too, somehow... anyway, kinda did quite abit of going out these couple of days... so darryl and i went 2 play pool at sommerset on fri b4 going down 2 clarke quay 4 our supposed geog "project"... went there, walked around the place, took a few pictures and thats about it... don't think either of us really wanted 2 do anything related 2 work, even if it meant hanging out... i realised everything seems alot more relaxed during the hols (quite duh right?), but i mean it shows... its different when we hang out during hols and during skul term, there's less bagging us down and everything seems happier, even the jokes are funnier...

i've given up waiting 4 darryl 2 send me the pics so there'll be a pic bonanza (including those from the party) some other time... so since we're on the topic of pics, i'd like 2 give proper credit 2 eugene for helping me do the heroes thingy 4 me... yes, "haha", the heroes thingy... looking back, now i think its kinda dumb, but its all out of good fun, and thanks once again eugene, 4 taking the time 2 help me with that nonsense... haha... so anyway, other than that interesting occurrance yesterday, pretty much wasted the day away... it was also the first time i spent so much effort trying 2 get a nice gift 4 my dad 2day... yeah it sounds a little sad, but it was the first time i was trying 2 get a proper gift 4 my dad on fathers' day... in the end all i managed 2 get was a card, but at least my sister and i decorated it... well, i think my dad deserves so much more credit than he is given, and i think so do alot of dads out there... so i guess i'm trying 2 make it up somehow... still my dad gets far 2 much credit 4 giving me far 2 much shit as well... haha...

2day is fathers' day! (did i mention it?) and we had the luxury of getting up later than usual on a sunday morning... then after that we went down 2 vivocity for brunch-cum-movie... its the first time i've been down 2 vivocity and it was kinda cool... there were like hell lot of shops selling hell lots of stuff... haha... seriously shoppers' paradise... quite alot of rather high end stuff there... really must bring some cash and do some serious shopping there sometime... so we were walking around the place b4 the movie, and got really tired from walking, i mean i dun usually get this tired from walking while shopping and i didnt feel we'd walked alot or very far... maybe i'm juz gettin old, or i need 2 start hittin the gym more often... vivocity didnt seem very big from the inside, maybe we didnt cover the whole place, or maybe its juz me... so we went 2 watch fantastic four: rise of the silver surfer, and i must say it is quite a let down... the movie didnt have a good plot or any real action and it juz didnt bring anything new... and it probably didnt choose the right time 2 screen too, following spidey 3... it was so bad it almost sucked... i'm being quite mean but who cares... juz hope transformers doesnt fall short of all the movie ads screening time...

one thing i realised about clarke quay and vivocity, and basically singapore in general: there are alot of average looking people with good dress sense... ok maybe i wont go so far as 2 say good dress sense, but maybe good clothes... i mean i realised that there arent any real good looking people (both guys and girls) in singapore that really strikes you, but there are alot of people that look good cuz of their clothes... not saying that singapore is hopeless but those that are good looking are few and far between... i mean i havent really come across someone thats "wow wow", nothing thats makes a lasting impression... maybe singapore juz izznt a "beautiful" country... and i think singapore guys aren't any better looking (including myself)... there's no real judgement of beauty (as the saying goes blah blah blah), or call me shallow and who am i judge, but all i'm saying is that i've yet 2 see perfection...

then there are some, who are as good as it gets... i think there are some who really look good (or look really good), but i'm not going 2 mention any names... haha, not here at least, but i think she's good enuff 2 be called good looking (for want of a broader term 2 praise good looks)... so anyway, something interesting and random... 2day after the movie, went back 2 cp 4 jap dinner, and i saw this girl whom i thought looked pretty cute... and then my sis comes along and tells me that the same girl is a relief teacher at her school... i was totally thrown off cuz she was wearing braces and she looked really young... wth, how small can singapore be lah... she's probably waiting 2 go uni or something... damn...

ok, now time for something totally random... i've been thinking and i thought of wat my (next) first date would be like... i cant exactly remember what my last first date is like (i can remember the first day, but not the first date), or if it could even be called a date? anyway, i thought dinner and a movie would be nice (if in the near future), any takers? haha... but if i had a bigger wallet, definitely a nice dinner at a nice restaurant... Love is friendship on fire... got that off a movie (The Perfect Man), but i believe its true... guess i dun believe in love at first sight anymore, its juz so naive to actually believe a relationship can be built around the first time you lay ur eyes on something... lust is closer... but i think love has 2 be worked on, and it all starts with friendship... i mean you gotta get 2 know the person first b4 you can throw any claims of sharing a relationship much less saying you love the person... and of course, at the end of the day, if nothing works out, there's still a friendship 2 fall back on... dun wanna regret like now, where a friendship could barely stand on its own... and i guess thats juz the way 2 go about it, be friends, get 2 know the other person (let the other know you), and hopefully let whatever you have between you take over... i'm still finding my steps, but at the same time i'm still fighting for the day that someone comes along... or maybe she's already here, i juz don't know it yet...

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain, coming down on a sunny day?
