16, maybe less

This is the name of the song that i listen last night. A nice, soothing music by iron and wine.

Book out yesterday night because of the surprise "off" that our CO gave us. Watched hellboy2 and linger around tampines area with my friend before returning home.

Just thought of an unpleasant encounter with techno music, and just to mention, i hate it! One fine afternoon, after awoken from my nice, warm afternoon nap, i was sent on errand to do some stuff. My head was heavy, and there is vague distinction between reality and dreamworld. The errand requires me to linger around the bunk area, then i heard this deafening, annoying music from one of the bunk. No doubt, it is techno music. I felt like my head was exploding, but i can't leave that damned area. Sometimes i just dont understand how people can indulge in this kind of music. Classic example of trashy music!

"In times of trouble, difficulty and depression, pictures tend to bring back old memories- the past fun-filled days where life was simple and easy. When can I let the history be history? When will I then learn to look on"

My friend was being emo here. But is a food for thought. A greek philosopher once said,"An unexamined life is not worth living." Some may say why are we making life tough for ourselves by spending time contemplating such unproductive question. But, it is precisely that life is tough and is fraught with so much uncertainty and shit, that these questions just plummet on us.

Finally, i forgot to mention about the dreadful 3 weeks confinement. It is definitely long, and is like a slow death or quicksand. But amid all the time dilation, i still enjoyed it. Finish reading my sophie's world and the alchemist in 3 weeks. Sophie's world is a fantastic read- philosophy in story. The alchemist is more towards spirituality. I find it quite boring, maybe because i am quite cynical....

Ok.. signing off. Bye!
