One was tellin me that the oyster boy stories are awfully morbid. Yeah i know its no romantic idyll but thinkin back, the popular books, movies and stories are mostly filled with gruesome deaths, heartbreaks, suicides, traumatic expriences, bloodcurdling murders, vengeance, controversies or bitter childhoods. Are they any better? And surprisingly, none of these belongs to some morbid psychology offshoot from english literature, but rather they are squarely in the mainstream and are loved by loads. Like batman witnessed his parents death and is keen on revenge. Snow white's mum die on durin childbirth, had a evil step mother and ate a poison apple. (Not to mention cinderella.) Peter Pan lures the darling children away from home to be forgotten, doesnt accept love, kidnappings, fights with pirates, evil mermaids and finally returnin them home, while he is left outside without a family. Forever. Then finally the new Harry Potter volume where people all over the world camped overnight outside bookstores waiting for its release. And Harry's parents were murdered, an evil wizard is comin after him and some main character is goin to die.

Fairy tales tell us that there are perils, but we can survive them usin wit and live happily ever after. But oysterboy tell us they dun happen all the time. Wahahahaa

How could one feel lost and excited over the same issue all at the same time? Psychological ambivalence again i guess. Lookin at previous posts, i sounded so damn depress over graduating but upon recievin my seat number and the 2 invitation cards to the graduation ceremony, i feel all excited again. Who's goin to sit next to me? Who's attendin it? What am i goin to wear? Haha suddenly it feels so cool to graduate, its not something that happens every other day. It doesn matter that its just a diploma and all. I've graduated! Wahahaaa

And did anyone notice the ads on the bus stops? First, there were normal boards with the ad on it. Then, there comes the rotatin ad thingy. And of course those tuition, swimmin, house rental ads pasted on the board with a phone number that ya can tear off. After awhile, theres this 3-d ad trend that creative advertisin firms came out with and thus, becoming very popular. E.g. gifts on top of the bus stops, the fortune god cap on the bus etc. And now all of those mention above.

Very recently, theres this particular HSBC one at ps with 2 divers standin on top of the bus stop and the pillars and ground is pasted with this hideous lookin dark background with fluorescence worm-like thingy (i assume that are corals la since there are 2 divers standin on top) But seriously, those stuff are not just ugly, but revoltingly ugly. It appears more like some highly fluorescent nematodes, bacteria or fungi seen under the fluorescent microscope with the right filter, at least to me. The murkiness of the background make it look as if you will fall right into the eternal abyess of darkness packed only with fluoresence nematodes, bacteria and fungus when you step on it(or rather into it). Its so damn disgustin can? They wanna show the deep blue sea, then show the clear waters with sunlight penetratin and a school of brightly colored fishes swimmin. Why the murky sea, as if there is a thick canopy overhead? Arghhh and its also dangerous too. There are(is?) people who find it disgustin and didn want to step on it and so they have no choice but to stand on the yellow line. Hmpf when are they goin to remove that ad?

Began the day with a terrible flu, had naively thought some fresh air and good food will do me good but ended up drenched. Heavy rain today, interspersed with promising (deceptive?) periods of bright sunshine. Still sick, but its almost a pleasure. Curled up safely in bed, listenin to the storm outside. Later.

1st July'05 - A sudden realization that im no longer a tertiary student. My red ezlink imprinted with the school logo produced this awful "DAAEEE" sound upon tappin the reader instead of the usual chirpy "didi". And this reminds me especially when im fillin out forms or signin up for stuff online. Im not excatly a student anymore but i couldn excatly say that im in any of the listed industries. I feel lost as its like bein stripped off a title suddenly or something fundamental like the sun left the sky sort of thing. Hmmm okay, not that drastic. Haha but maybe they can just add "in transition" into their occupation or industry lists, people could feel better.

It has been nearly 2 months, of paradox and of waitin. It is a short time that seems long and a time in which everythin, and nothin, seems to happen. And it appears that i am consumed by the pleasures of the everyday - good food, sleeping, reading, skating, friendship, internet, games, the natural world - whilst never being far from the monotony and the feelin of emptiness. Crap. And apparently i have too much time to think.
