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?

feeling sick like . . . nobody's business
wednesday is officially the most detested and ridiculous day of this new semester. fancy making my way down just for 1 stupid lesson from 830 to 930. but the saving grace is that this module is actually rather interesting considering my love for ancient chinese/japanese origins. in case you're in the dark about this, i'm a hardcore sangoku fan. BUT BUT BUT spare me all that talk of a particular race of people originating from a Sun goddess, especially when i don't even subscribe to the christian notion of humans descending from adam and eve. no disrespect intended but to me, humans and human efforts > intervention of any god.
and just to add, i've been puking a bit lately, maybe its my stomach subconsciously resisting the intake of rubbish food whatsoever. but i'm actually praying for the reoccurrence of my kidney stones saga to bring about a 10kg weight loss.
a few more hours to fluffy. *fast forwards
somehow i dont know why i never thought of performing this for hall events. there's zilch opportunities for it now and oh well lets just enjoy it original.

technically my first day of school
i'm so not used to this. waking up real early to travel half the island's distance just to get to school. it seems as if 3 months just passed by without biding farewell.
apparently i'm supposed to send in an audition clip for this _________ thingy introduced by a good friend. and that if it takes off i can finally move on in my life. but then again that isn't quite exactly what i want now.
what i really want now is to get my ass back home tucked in bed and with the aircon at full blast.

我终于知道内疚
this song is perfect for emo-ing, not that I have any reason to do so currently. been on my replay for several times already and never fails to make my hair stand.

teach me how to blog cos i lost it all
and finally the rest of my buddies from SIM are thoroughly done with all their examinations. except jon if he accepts the l.s.e offer for his masters.

Love
Picked this up from a book. That men need to be physically loved before they can commence on emotional love, whereas it's the complete opposite for women. Do you agree?

Bangkok is so ....
Beautifully messy. Managed to get a sim card here fr 300baht and it comes with unlimited Internet for a week.
It is so hot here thank god I'm really dressing down like madness. Need to wake up early for some tour thingy tnrw but it's gonna be a waste of time though. And for dinner, we headed to baiyoke sky tower, some restaurant on the 81st floor, ate out in the open and wah the view was sick. But if you look downwards it's really freaky. I almost threw up when fluffy suggested they should provide bungee jumping activities . Ewwwwww
And just one more thing. Work is getting crazier and sometimes I feel as though I'm being marked down, but oh wells work is about doing what you're paid to do, nothing more nothing less. Doesn't pay to be enthusiastic when people take what you're doing to be shit.

just kill me
the boys keep me sane. i have stopped being a social butterfly, party animal, late night owl, etc. All i really want is to spend 7 days a week with you, but out of the 7 days, at least 1/3 of a day, A DAY with them.is it too much to ask for?
i'm so frustrated and stressed out by everything in life now, although academically everything seems to be working out fine. i'm just gonna freaking walk till my legs give way. thats HOW SCREWED UP MY HEAD IS NOW.

Great night
Joshie's a wonderful person to turn to when you need multiply-varied and if I might add, colourful perspectives to face certain relationship conundrums. The key is to be able to recognize The things, people, goals in life that you prize, and perhaps by ranking them empirically. Certainly resonates with what ad was telling me about his business ethics studies, looking at the overall happiness / utilitarianism theory when you're caught in a dilemma. Everyone has different locks, but this key is surely a master key to them all.
And wangzai milk's a great way to kick start a great morning. Gonna start stocking this. Le shit is the bomb.
Hope sales will be better today so that the big bad wolf stops huffing an puffing at my door. But that's cool, I'm titanium after all
