annoyed
i never thought i'll have to do this to release all the pent up stress.
i like to keep myself busy because i really hate wasting time. i try to multi-task, to the extent that it is way beyond average human level. i understand some people were inquisitive enough to stake out sam's fs and ask questions like "eh is prin so poor he has to work at cineleisure?"
I love money. It drives me to do things. But I really enjoy what I'm currently doing now, so much more than the aspect of money. And come on, its a fashion boutique, and i get to exercise my creative juices while I'm at it. nothing against fast food chains cos its an honest living, but look my boss pays me a lot more than that.
anyway, back to why i love money so much. this is a topic im confronting for the first time
1) I like to buy my gf nice, expensive presents (cameras, airtickets, branded stuff, etc)
2) I need to pay for my lifestyle cos my mom's not holding herself accountable for any of that shit
3) I feel insecure without money, i like to hoard it to the extent that I make myself feel broke. if you get what i mean
4) I tend to be ridiculously generous at times, but still someone has to settle the tab. (Except for my core clique, cos we all suscribe to the notion of "tab-sharing" <3)
5) I love getting things done, from scratch. Building things up and along the process, it gives me money.
but this mentality, this cash-fuelled driving force has to change soon. real soon i'd say. in lieu of my upcoming industry. *come on, do you think the government increment's much of a motivator? It has to be passion and satisfaction from now on.
Digressing, I still remember filling up my C.V for MOE and how many douchebags my age can lay claim to having tried out so many industries before? I started out working in molly malones as a server/bartender. and because i pretty much liked that lifestyle back then, i was poached to be an events-manager at the now-defunct dining bar at raffles place (defunct not by my hands, but my previous boss sold the business and made a tidy sum, following which the entire building had to be demolished) I've dabbled in property as well, waking up early to attend showflat duties, bringing people around in and out of sentosa, marketing W-residences, and one project near Zouk, centennial suites i think. I've hosted numerous events under Freemansland, the first place i learnt about ownership, sense of belonging and responsibility. got burnt, but oh well thats all part of life. The list non-exhaustive, but can the normal detractor hovering about on social media beat that?
summarizing my life-experience in short, i'm not like WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH but I deem it more respectable than couch-potatoes whose primary source of income stems from their parents. . And my mom is sibei 'giam-siap' with me, if i might add.
I have an impeccable ability in social-butterflying, making friends, but ... keeping them by my side is a different thing altogether. Quoting jon, "Brah, its easy to misunderstand you, but its damn hard to hate you" *hes not a girl, duh.
i really love the people around me now. at least silly relational matters of the heart will never destroy our closely-knitted friendships.
oh and i heard about how rumours spread about this one incident in year 1 (yes thats how long ago it was) during Dr Rahil's lesson. that she stepped on my shoes and i loudly exclaimed "excuse me those are ferragamos"
Look, nitwits.
1) Dr Rahil is not one to be trifled with and anyone with a brain will not respond in such a manner to her. I probably would, to the perpetuators of this rubbish rumour since you stepping on my shoes would surely cause me such an intense body-wrecking, innard-tearing pain
2) In actuality, she merely commented, "nice brown shoes Prinya" and i responded with a wide, charismatic grin, inserting "yes mdm, its ferragamos"
De-bunked. I'm too busy this year this semester to even bother anymore. And i don't even bother dressing up anymore because in school, course materials, a laptop and a nice face as an accessory are more than sufficient. (Pls don't wallow in self-pity, just pray life is kinder to you the next time round)
good Lord, let this be the last time i actually try to explain my actions and intentions.

crazy schedules
okay work is officially piling up. school - work - friends' work
anyway heres a belated happy bday shout-out to Gavin Goh and Eric Lim. pictures will be out (once again, cos the camera is not in my hands) sorry for the pangseh-ing, gav. make it up to you another time.
i can't wait for everything to fall in place nicely, now that the fredericsai website is up, though with some border glitches, etc.
next step? :) lets start bringing the business out of cineleisure. i'll like to believe that everyone around me is able to contribute in one way or another. *Hint Hint Joshie.
work aside, i came across this really disturbing incident via facebook. heres the link
http://joshuaongys.com/2012/09/abuse-case-facebook-calven-chik-foo-keong-hits-amanda-fong-kim-yen/
okay to summarize it, basically a man abused his pregnant wife to the tune of bruises all over and possibly injuring the 2 month old fetus in her belly. thats sad. but whats sadder is how the entire saga degenerates into a vicious online episode. and i used to think that public airing of dirty linen was almost exclusively a western culture. if not for social media, i suppose many matters like these would have been underground.
btw, sam's having a flea this saturday at scape. do come down and support!

phoenix rising from ashes
wow its been such a turbulent and chaotic week. now that i've managed to catch my breath, here's some quick updates.
First up, thank you everyone for your support and concern. (You know who you are) Personal emotional issues have been officially 'put to rest'. I love her, thats all that matters. * Gulps. It wasn't your usual kind of drama and the storyline, is pretty sad actually.
Tom (left) Jon (Right) *Congrats first class honours!
and all of them going corporate while leaving ad and i to face the torments of schooling. just wanna get it over and done with ahhhh!
Major thanks to those who turned up for the Frederic Sai launch event last thursday. Pictures will be out soon! It was really very draining having to deal with all those last minute logistics, getting screamed at by a very fussy boss (okay la he's nice so forgiven) and finally 1-man-showship of waitering, serving, and pr-ing. but my takeaway from that one event was tremendous. the experience was worthwhile.
i stayed up all night to finish preparing for a presentation tmrw and along the way i cleared like truckloads of irritating readings and mini-assignments plus i've officially started on term papers.
btw i got to meet some regional and local bloggers recently over some work collaborations like Yutakis, Eric Lim, Sophie Willocq, etc. hell yea, they're friendly people with no airs about them despite being rather famous and popular.
okay. time to go to school

the end
'cause all of the stars
Are fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see them some day
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out
i suppose this is the most meaningful song i've ever used, to remember a person. that it'll be you turning out this way certainly took me by surprise. its time to ditch all the alter-egos, and revert to the original self-bashing one.
i'm sure you'll find solace soon enough. go on, fan the flames, but as it will and eventually must, die off. go forth and find happiness, i sincerely wish you all the best.
because alcohol weakens my resolve, i will never turn to it again to tide through unhappy moments. my head hurts like crazy.
alright, good old studies and work first.
God, where do i go from here?
