  From childhood's hour I have not been As others were...  

bemused that someone commented that the recent happenings on my blog suggest a more cheerful me. here's something which matthew reminded me of, in particular the first eight line:

Alone

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.

Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.

Edgar Allan Poe

  birthday party  

21st jan.
what a fantastic surprise birthday party for colin. so fun!

met up with jx, lwoo, em, wl and jen who were zipping ard the island preparing food. with a car loaded with cooked and half-cooked stuff. mad people them, half the cooking done at amk, then sushi picked up from shaw centre, then cake from holland v, then the rest of the cooking at bukit batok. well-travelled food.
met up with so many RI gep pple. practically all, except 2 guys, who were from the medicine gang. hm, it was more like half medicine gang, half 2K gang, and a few girls. a rather simple party at lwoo's condo's function room. but with too much good food. and too many sparklers.
a rather grownup and odd birthday party. everyone spent most of the time talking and catching up on each other's lives. at least that kept things going without needing any entertainment.
amusement that em faked an quarrel with colin and made him go swimming at jurong east, and blindfolded him and brought him to lwoo's place, and he din know where he was. and somehow the guys realised he really had no idea where he was and so made him guess and strip, and in the end he had to go ask a poolside stranger where he was. but he still couldn't guess whose house. finally he went up all the way to lewis' flat on the 20th floor in his swimming trunks. haha. at least he wasn't in too much shock over the whole thing and didn't get a heart attack.

i guess we won't be able to tolerate too many birthday parties this year. but a couple will be fun. 21st's just 21st. that's all.

the social circle seems to revolve around the same few people. surprised to find out another few interconnections between friends. and it was such a bio group of people.

why is Tiger Cup so amusing. why do they give out free t-shirts to everyone. why are there so few indonesian supporters. it was amusingly ridiculous: the overwhelming support, the sure-win factor, the neverending "referee kayu"s, the automatic "bodoh" that people shout, the booing towards the indonesians, the police concentration at the indonesian corner, the tiny people running around, the feeling of empty space silence(maybe becoz i was sitting so high up).
the spirit, or lack-of, was silly. the referee-bashing, was amusing.
the kallang wave thing was more like a way of self-entertaining when the soccer was too boring. the flying newspaper bits was hilarious though. and the balloons zipping around.
even funkier was the noise on the street after the match. riotous.

it was fun for the sake of fun.
