One of the amazing scenes in Mi4!

New Toy

Bought a Xmas present for myself!

                                         

                                         "Ready to live with my family,

                                         Ready to die in obscurity"

Yes, i'm back with another picture of the movie "restless". Caught this film on the big screen today. Awesome. I don't know how to describe it. It's definitely not an easy favorite. I don't really dare to recommend this movie to others because it's nice in an unusual way if you get what i mean!

Today was also supposed to be a Xmas shopping day. Sadly, it wasn't fruitful at all. Need to get it done soon!

Take care everyone

Friends for keeps

"While twentysomethings can sometimes spend a little too much energy on dating and marriage, they probably spend too little energy on friendships and family. That girl you just met and now text 76 times a day probably won’t be a part of your life in 10 years, but the guys you lived with in college, if you keep investing in them, will be friends for a lifetime. Lots of people move around in their 20s, but even across the distance, make an effort to invest in the friendships that are important to you. Loyalty is no small thing, especially in a season during which so many other things are shifting."

Chorus

Wasting your time at the crossroads honey
Waiting for a reason to move
What is it we want for our own good baby
To do the things that we love or grow to love the things that we should


Wheezing the air of borrowed time
Subsisting on the remedies i can find
Shall we all just sing along
Losing the colors of a new song

These 2 movies are gonna be screened soon. Watched 50/50 on monday and i love it. Some parts are very very sad. Coincidentally, both films revolve around the somber topic of "cancer". Life is too short for everyone and as cliche as this may sound, it's true. So i shall try to wake up early everyday and not sleep until it's almost time for dinner.

Might catch them again... in the cinemas this time round. 

Take care everyone!

    Brunch @ Bar Bar Black Sheep with the usuals to celebrate Cong's birthday. Food was at most average only but the company was great. Definitely feels rewarding albeit tired to wake up early in the morning and kick start the day. Come to think of it, it's the first time we actually met for brunch. Gotta do it more often!

Had a simple and relaxing dinner with Kaye and Jiayi just now. Felt like a typical TGIF hangout. Sadly, it's only Monday. Hang in there everyone! Look forward to Friday!

Maybe in time, you will realize that death is not the hardest

Love is

:'(

So real

Love it!

The air around me still feels like a cage
Love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again

Such a Beautiful movie. You can't help but feel lucky that we are actually living in a really decent country with an above-average kind of lifestyle. You'll understand what i mean when u watch that film. It gave me a different perspective of life. People in other parts of the world are so easily pleased. Little things or actions are enough to make them wear a smile yet we are always full of complains, always so difficult to be satisfied. Maybe we just need to love life a day at a time and stop looking at the grass over at the other side.

Here's the trailer:

All of a sudden, i feel really proud of myself for the most trivial reason.

i manage to keep this blog going for 7 years. edmundandfriends.blogspot.com is 7 years old!

Can't believe it. Almost a decade already.

And to commemorate this achievement, let's take a look back at the very FIRST entry that brought this diary to life

testing

hi juz wanna see whether this works

Who would expect such a casual sentence to be the start of a very very invaluable recollection. The sad thing is, i didn't pen down some of the more eventful and memorable happenings over the years. Instead, all of my earlier entries were made up of big chunk of text, about me rambling and trying to be as detailed as possible about that day's work. I think that's how most of us fill up our diary during our adolescent years right?

I'm surprise that i was able to continue with that way of writing for a good portion of my secondary and poly school days. When you look back at it, you can tell how desperate i was in trying to remember every single piece of information and it has to begin with something like

"woke up in the morning......",

transiting to

" .......after lunch, took a bus back home at 3pm with........"

and finally, with a huge sigh of relief

".......that's how my day went".

yes, sigh of relief because blogging was quite a painstaking thing for me last time. I felt that there was a need to remember the sequence of events for that day so i can record it down in chronological order.

Difficult and mentally challenging! I got too tied down by what was supposed to be a HOBBY. Not a chore. Thankfully, it didn't make me want to shut down this space!

I like what I'm doing now, typing new entries which often contain meaningless sentences once in a while. Not for the sake of sustaining this blog but because i needed too.

So,

Let's not live with this kind of straitjacket feeling

Let's be loosey-goosey!

2 months of holidays! I think i studied hard enough to deserve this

Have fun everyone. Christmas is around the corner. Spread the love!

i'm gonna try to watch at least 1 movie every night after my exams. I have a whole arsenal of shows waiting to be unfold!

1 more week to my very first school holidays after more than 2 years.

Hang in there!

I love such beautiful videos. It gets this whole "thinking cycle" started in my mind.

At the end of the day, you would want to just let your guard down, get into that pensive mood of yours and start wondering about answers to such questions.

It might be that spark you are looking for that will change something in your life

Don't compare yourself to others.

Do your best and everything will slowly fall into place.

Thank you Steve Jobs

Last year when i just bought my macbook, i knew I'm never switching back to PCs

Before i got my iPhone earlier this year, i was more than satisfied with just about any phone that is able to call and text. To me, handphones were just mediums of communication.

Now, even after using it for almost a year, i'm still damn amazed at how and what this toy can do. It's a bizarre experience. I'm never looking at any other phones should this one die on me.

Proud to be a brainwashed apple fan boy!

what i would do to attain the purest form of living again

so much

Weekend JB Getaway





Our first mini holiday together was a successful one! At least to me. Everything went well and I'm sure we all had fun. Prior to this trip, i only had 1 thing in mind when going over to JB. Shopping and eating @ City Square!

It was only until recently that we realized JB actually has good and cheap seafood! Really value for money. The place we went to was situated by the sea. Amazing setting. Will definitely revisit the restaurant again. We need to go for the massage @ city square next time round too



and I love this picture very much! cheers to nice picture!

Happy 23rd



Had a wonderful birthday celebrations @ Nabins with a wonderful group of lovely friends. Words alone are not enough to express how grateful i was. To say i'm happy that night is an understatement.













Thanks to everyone who came. Love the presents as well!

Happy BBQ



Had an enjoyable bbq session @ ecp with the usuals. Normally we would invite most of our ex secondary school mates for such event but decided to just have it within ourselves this time round. Lesser the merrier in this case!



Everything went well. Weather was awesome, food was great albeit a little too much for 7 people. The pit we chose was also very well situated. Carpark and toilet just behind us! Ended the night with some CLUEDO. Not the best game to play at that point of time. All of us were too zoned out!

Istana Open house



The Istana was opened for public visiting last sunday so i went there with my grandparents, eager to see how the official residence of the president is like.






Sadly, we didn't delve deep enough to see the buildings. It was quite a far walk in. Not convenient for the elderly!



National Day Cycling



Sadly, only 4 of us were able to make it that day. But like what i mentioned previously, the lesser the merrier!



We cycled all the way to NSRCC and back. So much memories just by looking at that place. Poly class chalet, secondary class chalet, not once but a few times already. One of the best chalets in Singapore by far!



And poor Shellen, the 2 hours of cycling seem like a torture for her. All in the name of fun dear. hahaha Went over to Cineleisure to watch "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" in the evening. Love that movie! Don't let the (stupid looking)poster and (verbose)title trick you into thinking that the movie is stupid!

School

It's the 3rd week of school now and the ennui of lectures is starting to kick in. Morning lessons at 830am is really torturing. For once, i actually felt very concerned about the availability of seats in the train. It's getting increasingly frustrating when i have to stand all the way from Tampines to Dover. But i guess i had my share of convenience during poly.

Lesson wise, its lectures, lectures and more lectures. 3 hours each. No matter what, going to school is definitely a thousand times better than booking in!

Study smart!
