Guess this marks the end of another chapter.

Just back from an outing with Linda and Liping.
We went Sentosa after staying at the Jewel Box, for a dinner and drinks.
Yes, it's the end of internship.
A blink of an eye, and 6 months just gone like that.

I did enjoyed myself this past 6 months.
I learnt alot. Really.
I see many. People, things and situations.
And i guess my best take-aways are the friends i made there and a boost in self-confidence.
It's not something you can learn from the book, or get from Facebook.

Though Friday was the end of Internship, only till today, then i can say i am relaxed.
Been busy finishing my report.
Karma has me punished real well for my procrastination.
But at least i'm done with it now, completing 12 weekly reports and a 2000-words report within 3 days or so.
Yea, what doesn't kills me, makes me stronger.

So let's talk about today, shall we?
Went for the body check-up for National Service.
Well, from the results, i'm a healthy kid.
So, soon, i will be shaving my head and go to serve the nation.
Well, not too thrilled, but i'm fine with whatever life throw at me; i'll make good of it.

And after that, i had a heart lunch of Botak Jone's Fish & Chip, after munching on the wraps from KFC.

And speaking of Fish & Chip, i had on Monday too.
I got it at Causeway Point's Manhattan Fish Market.

I got it with this combo which has clam chowder and mocktail when you top up.
Yea, it's awesome. Though you might get pretty sick of the dory fillet... But that might just be me.

With a filled stomach, headed down to Habourfront to meet the ladies.
Got myself 'Paradise Lost'  by John Milton and a clip for Haruka.

When we got up to Mount Faber, we chatted with a few colleagues.
Then head to Faber Bistro for dinner.
The scenery never cease to interest me.

And i had Carbonara, again. This time, with linguine instead.

After dinner, we headed to Moonstone.
While Liping was having her drink (Lychee Margarita, if i didn't remember wrongly), i was busily playing hand phone games with Linda.
But like always, it's hard to not pay attention to good scenery, right? =)

Then after that, we took a cable car and headed down to Sentosa.

We walked around, wandered around, and snapped a few pictures.

Reaching the Resort World, we went to this Malaysia Food Street, which is beside Universal Studios Singapore.
The layout/decoration of the place was simply nostalgic.

But sadly the place was closing, so no supper for us.
Then headed to the Lake of Dreams, the atrium of RWS.
So... There was this waterwork show.

Simply fantastic =)

Ahhh.... So this marks the end of today's post.
Gotta sleep early.
Preparing for something great.
Once it's out, it'll be on Facebook and i will share it here as well.
What is it? What is it about? Keep your eyes peeled ;D

A short one before i head out later.

Yup, heading out for some photos at National Museum later on.
But in the meanwhile, while i wait for the clock strike 45 past 10, i will post a short one.
Or something like that.

Been tired and busy the past 2, 3 days.
Well, Valentine's coming up.
And my work place being a favored haunt for dates, naturally the influx is increased.
The call traffic is crazy these days too.

And i guess it's really sad to work on Valentine's, especially at night.... When you're single.
You get to see couples here and there.
Well, good news is that you get to see your type here and there.
Bad news? They're all taken.

Hopefully, by next year, it's my turn?
Let's hope so.

Anyways, i've went to Marina area after work.
Main purpose of that is to get the Beach Angel albums by Fierce Angel.
Apparently, i got myself a good catch.
And all the tracks inside are what i really needed.

Love how they design the cover.

After getting my stuff, i roamed around the area, wandering.
And i came across with a live performance that is going on at the outdoor area of Esplanade.
I think it's a Pre-Valentine thing, since the songs were mostly love songs.
But i must admit, the lady's voice is really really good.

I've enjoy myself watching it, though it feels a lil awkward since i'm the one single person there.
It's all couples, family or friends.
But aww well~

Oh yes, and apparently, i hooked onto taking pictures in monotone.
I somehow find them looking better than the actual one.
See.

And the next one.

What do you guys think of it?
Well, the rest in mono =)

Ok~  Gotta go now~

Weird weird inside.

Evening people~

I'm not so emo, i guess.
Guess i really thought it through, for now.

So you must be wondering, what is it that causes me to feel 'weird weird inside', as stated by the title right?
Well, i'm really doubting myself.
After seeing the semi-finalists for Live Mix Maestro (Yep, Ray, Shai, Fadd and Areen in it =D ), i'm really inspired by them.
But at the same time, i'm really wondering, is the way i normally play bad/good?
How is it?
I mean, i don't see anyone playing the same way like me, except for radio channels, which has really different agenda from me.

But i feel really weird changing my style.
I mean i want others to feel the song, feel the whole of the song.
But.... I don't know.... It just feels weird, to change and not to change.

But i think i will go back to play Beach House.
Something that i really enjoy playing.
After all, i remember the reasons why i play those tunes.
I want to play something that everyone will know how to appreciate.
Something that will appeal to a different crowd =)
And reflect my personality~
It guess it's really hard to find something that you love and describes you at the same time =)

Guess i wanna share something with you guys.

Feeling The Night - Kaskade
I love this kind of music. Something that you can chill out, relax listening to it. I mean, it's pleasant. Don't you think so?

Anyways~
Just now, i had my lunch at Faber Bistro.
I think it's the first time i had my staff lunch in Jewel Box.
My gosh, it's really good, both the food and scenery.

I first had my Carbonara Penne with Ham or Bacon (I can't tell their difference =X )

Then i called for Cream of Tomato after that.

I guess it's ok to splurge and dote on myself with food from time to time.
For being a good boy =)

Yea, It's totally good.
And totally enjoyed my company with Haiqal and Tiger.
Otherwise, it's just boring 'staring at the sky' session while thinking about life, while waiting for the
food to come.

And...
After reading a magazine while waiting for my hair cut, i read this interesting article.
It was about dating and dating agencies.
Come to think of it, i find it quite a novel idea to go for such stuff.
I don't know.
I mean, it's a way to look for partner right?
Besides, i don't know, who knows, maybe i can find someone there?

But then again, i think i should just drop this silly idea of mine.
It's just a waste of money.
Haha~
But it's kinda funny thinking about it.
Aww well~

Totally late, totally bored.

I'm really bored now.

The net's laggy, so gaming's out of the equation.

Pretty groggy, so doing the report won't be something i'd do today (Though it's due really soon)

I don't want to feel bored.

Once i do, i tend to think too much.... And you know the rest.

To be honest, i'm already starting to think about something already.

Linda did told me once.

I didn't move on.

Which i think it's really true.

It seems like, i don't bear to move on, thinking everyone would stay the same.

Well, everybody eventually does, and i'm the only one who doesn't.

Ends up? I'm the only one who stays stagnant.

Angie says that i didn't change. Still the same Daryl she knew back then, when we were primary school kids.

I guess i was just too contented about how life used to be, you see.

I love it when Mom's still prepared great dishes and a pot full of soup for dinner during weekend.

I love it when Sis and me were talking about subcultures (Especially punk lolita, since she's good with that)

I love it when we head to nearby malls like Jurong Point on Saturdays for dinner, and relaxation.

But things have changed.

I'm always busy on weekends, due to work.

Mom and Sis will always be away on weekend, at Uncle's place.

Sis is now obsessed with cosplay, not what she used to like and be anymore.

But i guess, i will eventually get used to it.

It's just that i'm not used to it as of now.

And i'm at the midst of getting used to everything now.

I know i have been harping on Sis changing so much since she went into the world of cosplay.

But it's true.

She changed so much, she isn't the girl she used to be.

Just changed so so much.

I prefer the old her. 

The cute little petite girl who packs that spunky-ness.

She thinks differently from peers her age, which makes her so cool.

That 'punk princess' which i could really relate to.

That crazy cat lover who i could go 'cat-hunting' with, and playing with them for hours.

That cool but lonely girl.

Sometimes, i really wonder.

If i had not went or brought her to the photoshoot at Fort Canning, would things be different from now?

I know, i would know one good friend lesser (and that would be Luna).

But at the same time, would Sis still be in cosplay like now?

Sometimes, i really think, if Joy and Miao didn't say she looks like Miku, will she still dabble with cosplay and be the her now?

If they didn't say that, would she have already become the little punk princess which she initially wanted to be? (and that i like)

Sometimes, now that i think back, i somehow do feel a slight resent towards them for saying that.

And thinking about the reasons that Sis joined cosplay...

I don't know. I didn't like that.

She wants to find friends from there.

But from what i can see, majority are childish conformist.

Of course there are some great people here and there (Personally, even i became friends with them)

But others are just.... Off.

And among that, there's a whole bunch of unpleasant people.

Keyboard warriors, 'hyena and jackals' ('We're strong, 'cause we're in groups'), conformists (as mentioned above), and even perverts.

There's more to name actually. But they're just at the back of my head.

I know i'm being overprotective, and being abit over-zealous.

But fuck it, if you were me, wouldn't you feel the same?

How the hell can you not be worried?

Well, all these are my thoughts of that matter since the last 2 years.

Maybe writing it here, might make me feel better a little.

And it kinda irks me.

How did someone that cool has fallen down to the level of those people.

That's what she has changed into. One of them.

It feels as if, either they have taken my sister who i used to love and respect away, or they 'killed' her (Think 'Punk is dead. Poser killed it'). 

From that whole episode, i come to resent, hate, dislike 'otaku'.

Yes, that also mean i resent my lifestyle and mindset which i used to be.

So if you wonder, why i don't like to be related as otaku and stuff, this is the reason.

And just if you think this is something new, it isn't.

I've been like this ever since she got into cosplay.

And at one point, i thought i gotten used to this, and relaxed on it a little.

Just recent, something triggered something.

And i realised, i still feel the same.

I should realise something since a long time ago.

That aspect of Sis which i really loved and adore, is not gonna return.

We can never return back to the past, which i missed so much.

So, what i have learnt from it?

Treasure what you have now.

I guess i'm out of the forest, for now.

I think i'm thinking clear now.

I think i should really move on.

There's nothing left here now.
