耶, 终于等到了五月天第七张专辑《后青春期的诗》. 虽然专辑要等 28/10 才在新加坡发行...先听吧!

刚读到 4/1 会有新歌飆唱會! 门票是买专辑附送的. 好失望喔...我不能去因为那时候, 我会在香港...嗨~~~ 为什么偏偏是那天?! :~~~(

我想我就干脆买台湾版了..应该会便宜一些些吧.

五月天这星期六会出席新加坡金曲奖, 1200 抵达. 那天, 我将去台北玩而我的班机是 1230 起飞, 也是 Terminal 1. 不知道会不会在机场遇到他们?

*幻想星期六在机场遇到五月天*

looks like this is turning into a monthly blog affair...haha. sometimes I wonder where the impetus to write disappeared to. :S

more so than before, I feel that there is lesser and lesser time to do nothing and think nothing. lately, I'm spending every week-night watching TV dramas and hardly anything else. I need to stop having a "finish watching the episodes ASAP" mindset but I'm such an addict!!

I wanted to type and ask whether it is usual to have about 3h of free-time every week-night. or perhaps that's even a luxury?? then I think that the question may be vague since the definition of free-time may differ from person to person. for me, I'm thinking of the time after work and before sleep and excluding dinner-time, shower-time as well as any activities before getting home (i.e. meeting friends, gym, etc.).

sometimes I just feel so burnt out mentally...like the mind never gets a chance to rest. but how do I cram all the things I want to do into so little time?! I'm sure there are many of you who feel the same, so how do you deal with it?! I'm almost constantly tired despite getting almost 5-6h of sleep that I think should suffice.

and all this over-thinking of how I lead my life is probably not doing me any good either. next 2 months are quite happening. on one hand, I'm excited but it looks like there's a lot going on. I'm also slightly stressed out by the looming major project coming up at work although I'd only probably start working on it around Jan '09. and there's also other projects in line and not to forget, the on-the-side project that I'm not feeling very confident about.

1 more week to vacationing in Taiwan. 1 week without planning for gym, deciding to watch which dramas, telling myself to revise french / japanese, thinking about those projects, wondering about my new contract, etc, etc, etc.

***

an aside, I'm thinking of trying gyrotonic ($$$)! the instructor explained it to me today while demonstrating some of the movements and I can actually visualize how it could help improve my condition. then again, if it only sounds good but does no good, there goes my money. such dilemma!

3 more months to the end of 2008~~

I think that year ends are always more exciting and there are more events going on, n'est pas?
- Taiwan trip: 25 Oct - 1 Nov
- Russell Peters in Singapore: 3 or 4 Nov
- Avenue Q musical: looking for kakis
- Lee Guitar Concert: 29 Nov
- DELF A2 exam: 2 Dec
- Singapore Marathon 2008: 7 Dec
- our birthdays
- Planning for a trip around Christmas: thinking of tasmania..

how exciting!

Work-wise, pretty busy right now (and yet look at what I'm doing now?!). Things should be slowing down in 2 more weeks. The current contract ends in early Dec and I guess will be renewing, if they are renewing me. Anyway, hooray for the completion bonus and hope to be able to convince the manager for a pay increment if it is possible.

Another reason to love this time of the year is the weather is cooling down~~~ dear wind, please change direction soon and you are welcomed to enter my windows!. :D

OK, on to entertainment! New seasons of TV shows are out as well as new shows - Prison Break S4, Gossip Girl S2, True Blood S1 (I think the lead female character has a strange look), Big Bang Theory S2 (can't wait for this...soon~~~)...
