Boston 23 July 2am in the morning

July 23, 2008

It’s pretty surreal to know that right now it’s 2pm in Singapore and the middle of the afternoon and in Cambridge I’m sitting in the toilet cubicle blogging at 2am and everyone is asleep and I’ve got a pretty violent stomachache.

Anyway it’s nearing the end of the production sprint over here and I must say my stuff is pretty much in order save for a few annoying tasks that I don’t feel like doing, then we enter the POLISH SPRINT (which is not a short race held in Poland, hahahahaha excuse the 2am-in-the-morning joke, it isn’t even funny).

Have an intense desire to just go out walking at 2am in the morning, maybe take a bath and then walk over to Gambit and do some crunching (just for the hell of it) but oh that would fuck up my next day so bad.
Not that I would like to crunch for no reason but I just need to go somewhere so bad.

It’s unbelievable how delightfully my life is spinning out of order.
I’m getting kinda emotional right now, when I get emotional in this way it’s not like I’m dealing with any specific issue it’s more like “fuck it, the hormones again”.

Sometimes when your life is really going along strangely you just let go the damn controls and let the car drive itself and we can all go to hell in a handbusket together (I do realise that this is not one of my most endearing traits though).

I do realise this post is written in kind of a different way from the other posts. It is kind of manic and yet depressive. I suppose cause it’s 2am in the morning.

Cambridge/Boston 20 July 2008

July 21, 2008

Ok more accurately the previous posts should be titled Cambridge/Boston instead of just Boston.

In Boston, everyone says “awesome” a whole lot. Everything is either “awesome” or “cool”. I’m starting to catch it too.

Updates on my situation:

1) Overspent in a very bad way (worst damage done at Wrentham Village) and now I is broke.
2) Am in a kind of strange situation with this guy now… not going to elaborate here.
3) Am extending my stay to travel around part of America and part of Canada after this whole thing is done.

My room has a desk and a big pile of paper and assorted rubbish and food and DVDs on it but it’s still better than my Bostonian friend’s bedroom (he has his own house) which is like totally filled with racks of DVDs and records and everything else is in piles on the floor (clothes, shoes, a mandolin, a decorative knife, a bass, etc.) I know my study room back in Singapore isn’t much better but hey come on at least I don’t have clothes and shoes in the pile ok? I put my piles of clothes in my bedroom and the living room :p

LOL I like to describe my (Singapore) house as a “guys house” cause even though it’s inhabited by two girls and a guy, the house looks like its inhabited by 3 bachelors.

Boston is awesome. There are a lot of good movie screenings here and lots of live music.

We celebrated Independence day here (4th July).

Anyway it was awesome. We were sitting on the bridge over the Charles river and the fireworks were shot from a boat in the middle of the river and the view was just WOW and they went on for really really long, I would think like 30mins. Our group was commenting that the firework display made the Singaporean national day celebration look like sparklers.
Damn you Boston, you ruined all my future Singapore national day firework displays forever LOL
(And mind you that’s just the Boston celebrations).

And,
Jamaican music is awesome.
SKA AND DUB ARE FREAKING AWESOME.

Oh ya and Windows Vista sucks.

AND HERE THE WEATHER IS FREAKING FREAKING HOT AND IT IS HOT AND IT IS HOT AND SKA IS STILL AWESOME.

Sorry for the rather fractured post.
