barney: the anti-hulk

i just read jianxu's blog, i think it really is somewhat more interesting, the blog and him. you have to go out and try more things right now, and don't be ...guai. don't get stuck at home all the time, worrying over the work you got to do, because in the end you really know that at least half of it's a waste of time.
you have to sometimes remember to live life, go out, go explore, that's what i feel, because then you'd be able to gain a more accurate, realistic idea of the world, something you can't get if you do only what all the schools tell you to. i mean you'd learn more about, say singapore, by experiencing it rather than sitting around watching nice videos of all our nice-nice hDB blocks and whatnot. GO SEE THE night, the places less seen, the paths less travelled!

well after that you'd probably be able to make better art too. i somehow feel that many places and cities are better explored at night.

i still want a bike. been inspired by the scouts' zhng-ing of their bikes. i want to go night cycling with my music. i think damien rice'd be a good companion, he writes some touching songs.

today i received a football and a mic. i tried both today,and both are in excellent working condition. well the ball bounces high, i think it's overpumped. not much of a problem though, we could still shoot hoops with it. the mic works well too, and the kbox person was amused by it. with three mics in a kbox room, you can finally sing a threesome. you can finally do an SHE.
thank you to debo and jo and lanlan and sian ru and eve and yanjie and enci and qixuan and tiak hui and ling and kao and qianying and syahidah for everything

i want to explore singapore at night, i want to go to the nooks and alleyways, i want to sit at a coffeeshop and stone there late into the morning/night. and i want to go atop a HDB block and sit and watch the sunrise. then after that i'll consider singapore done, and i'll move on to africa. probably to zimbabwe or somewhat else. no difference really.

see, i was inspired by this discovery channel thing i was watching just before i turned seventeen. it's the typical fare, angmoh guy ttrekking thru the jungle and the camera getting impossible shots of him going thru all kinds of shit. which also kind of makes me cynical and all, about how hard and wild it really is if he is accompanied by his cameraman. and probably a helicopter, judging by some heli shots. oh well.

point being. being on this earth, i am not about to spend my whole life just living here and not properly explore this beautiful planet. oneday i shall go explore africa, take in the sights, and maybe see some awesome animals. nature.
seeing the manmade stuff's never as good, i guess. i don't know if all this inspiredness is inspired by that angmoh's inspiring way of describing and crapping about zimbabwe, but i am quite set now on seeing africa.
oh and this is forest-green-animals infested-africa not dry desert one. well according to the angmoh's enthusiastic commentary too right, the mountains and hills there have been around for millioooonss of years. so i find that more exciting and awesome than seeing the people of the earth. that'd be cool too, but people come and go, and if i wanted to properly see the earth, i'd go to nature first and cities second.

all this makes me kind of sick of singapore. darn. oh, and barney's the opposite of the hulk. see,whereas the hulk gets into angry-modes, barney gets into gay ones. the hulk gets big when he gets into angry mode, likewise barney gets big when he turns on the gayness. furthermore, the hulk's a big green dude in purple shorts, and barney's a big purple guy with a green stomach. same thing really.
