tis the season to be jolly...what happened?

the wannabe punk rocker, the japanese doll and the ghost.
once upon a time, they were happy.

then the sacred gui hua beancurd spilled on the wannabe punk rocker
and triggered a series of bad omens.
-the end-

...

if everything could ever feel this real forever,
if anything could be this good again

OMG!so the winner of survivor gabon has been revealed. and im staying away from the papers cuz straits times was schtupid enough to reveal the winner even BEFORE the finale this friday, 3pm -live telecast and 11pm - repeated telecast, only on 5. all thanks to pb, i've been saved from spoilt fun.

one of the things that has been keeping me going is survivor. you can learn alot from survivor; human behavior, how losers and winners behave, politics (which can come in handy for those facing corporate pressures in these *** times, it's jinxed to say the word). i try to see my work place like a survivor set. i have my alliances *wink* survivor IS my work-life balance. hur hur.

so the lowdown of this season of survivor is that this bunch of losers who couldnt get along from the start, showed no teamwork, lost all their team matches only to return to camp to wallow in self pity, decided after 20 days that "gee, why dont we form an aliance with each other". so they did. and then they started to vote all the cool, good guys out till the final 7 was 80% losers with one super damn cute i-want-him-as-granddad good guy left...watch the finale!

im so excite! i hope granddad bob wins!

gesture

you could place the palm of your hand on the bare skin of her lap and it could only mean the demand for attention. or the palm could be pressed onto someone else's bare-skinned lap and send the warmth of affection through her flesh. either way, they seem like the same gesture, only they mean different emotions to you. but to her?

how important is it to distinguish one gesture from another to avoid misunderstood intentions?

a gesture easily misunderstood is a gesture that oughts most to be distinguished; better yet, avoided. will we then be so conscious of gestures misunderstood that they are better off internalised?

i want to feel the palm of your hand on my lap. but whose else's laps have those palms pressed? and whose others' were they placed?

what do your gestures mean?

mondays

mondays are shit and toilet cubicles are my secret hideouts; like a slip-out alley from the main streets, a diagonal swerve from a cheetah's straight chase. here i find myself sitting on a toilet seat amidst 3, sometimes 5 skeltering cockroaches. the world continues to run outside my cubicle walls; a lady brushing her teeth after lunch, toilet gossips, the thunderous pour of diarrhoea next door. and time freezes, the work waits, my boss waits...

till i unfreeze time with the zip of my skirt & the flush of the toilet bowl.

this was written on a monday sometime in june.this monday will be different with the hari raya holiday.thank god for a multi-racial singapore.
