Food, Film & Fotography.
I think loneliness is like a chain reaction. Once you settle too
comfortably into it, it's very hard to get out of it anymore. Nowadays
I guess that is the situation with me. I've been too used to doing
things alone that I find it undesirable to socialize anymore. Sure, I
do work in group projects and management stuff but that's mostly
'work' related. I still eat alone, watch movies by myself, shop on my
own, and basically revolve my life around myself. Frankly speaking, I
don't feel like changing any aspects of myself for anyone anymore. My
boundaries are getting more defined and I am becoming an island.
Lately I was so pissed with an acquaintance for being late that I just
went off, giving some lame excuse. Sigh...

Been very busy lately that I am starting to worry about my studies.
It's not my usual style to whine but I shall anyway. WHINE!!!

On an unrelated note, I am goin on a hiatus. Hopefully when I come
back, I would find a new zest of life, new motivations for myself.
So far I've drank tequila, vodka, rum, gin, bourbon and sake neat, and only tequila and sake tastes remotely drinkable. The rest... tastes like oil (not that I've tasted that though).
So tequila is ultimately my favourite poison of choice with sake coming a close second. I do like the herby taste of gin though.
Things I do which makes me feel self-sufficient. Read: Things that I can do alone.
- Watching movies in cinema (alone). Especially foreign films which are critically acclaimed. Many people I know generally don't appreciate them so I enjoy them all by myself. Right now I am peeing in my pants that Sympathy for Lady Vengeance will be showing here soon and pissed off that A Wayward Cloud is censored.
- Shopping for clothes. Especially damn expensive ones. I love going to Club 21 boutiques when there are sales. Knowing that one day I will be decked up in Gucci and Armani makes me happy. Woo!
- Shopping for books (fiction/non-fiction/textbooks). Regular trips to Kinokuniya, NUS Co-op and Clementi Book Store are the highlights. FYI I collect physics textbooks. I also caress them once in a while.
- Do research on the net. Currently I am a mega-zoom digicam expert. I can name you all of them and tell you the pros and cons of each.
- Reading reviews (books, magazines, internet, etc.). Eg. books, cars, hi-fi, food, music, consumer electronics etc. A B&W speaker system is in my horizon.
- Watching a Formula1 race. It's damn exhilarating especially when Michael Schumacher wins. Knowing that one day I will be decked up in Gucci and Armani in MY Ferrari , makes me happy. Woo-hoo!
- Enjoying a good cocktail. Anything with tequila in it is good in my books. But give me any alcoholic drink and I will be contented.
- Believing that I can actually get into the University of Chicago and solving mathematical finance problems as my career.
With all those things I enjoy doing, I DON'T need anyone else.
Oh there was a USP bbq party the other day. It was pretty cool with quite a few famous USP people around. I love parties.
