Trackspin: Jason Mraz - Butterfly.
Been stuck on this song for a little while lately. Very easy going and light on the ears. (:
Finally, I've gone and done it. Goodbye to the RSA Tomahawk and Uncle Wilson's Silver Bendy, which are in Darren's good hands now. Hope you enjoy it! And I went on ahead and bought the GS Voyager and a DIY quad-braid copper LOD. Bass overload anybody? Listening to Daft Punk on my iPod now feels like there's a subwoofer in my head, with the contour switch turned on. Heh. Absolutely thumping good stuff. Next up, a change in IEMs, if I can scrounge up the excess cash. Heck, I'm even running my Mac through the Voyager to my bass amp at home as my speaker system. Last time I did this was with my GV Petite, due to it's DAC, haha. Okay, enough with the audiophilia, not everybody gives a shit anyway, haha.
It's book-in day yet again, which is not a good thing at all in my books. Going in tonight for duty, coming out tomorrow, because I swapped duties with Clement. Thanks loads bro, for the swap, means a lot to me! However, this means I'm booking in on Sunday night and coming out on Wednesday night the next time around. Tiring.
I can't wait for tonight's duty to be over and done with. Hopefully I can leave camp early tomorrow to settle some stuff..
I've realized that many people I've been close with over the years are all long gone. Everybody's disappeared due to their own busy lives and it's hard to just find the time to catch a breather and settle down for a cup of joe with some old friends just to catch up. I sincerely hope that next time, I won't be like that, that work for me allows me time and space to catch up with friends and all. I can only hope I guess. I suppose it's not very realistic because of Singapore's working society and it's bounds where people are just slaves to the system, working every single day to bring back the bread for the family, and yet, that's all there is to adult life here it seems, unless you have a cushy job or some high-up managerial position which means more overseeing than manual labour. It doesn't seem like place that encourages settling down and having a family, enjoy watching your kids grow up and spending time with them. And no, the government still wonders about the country's low reproduction rate and our aging population. Not a big surprise is it? And as usual, the only bait they can dangle is monetary. Benefits for families with more kids, so on and so forth. It doesn't ease up on the workload of the parents and all either. So where does a healthy lifestyle come in where families get to enjoy proper bonding time and spend quality time together?
Alright, I figure you all think I'm just rambling already. I guess I do that often, don't I? One topic just leads on to another and it just goes on and on. Okay, I've to go start getting my stuff ready for camp. Airport, here I come! (yeah, right, as though I'm THAT enthusiastic.)
