Don't Waste Your Life

Life's a journey - don't forget to unpack.

Where it all meets

Perhaps then, it is at the cross of Christ that we find what we crave for most deeply in this world. Love and sacrifice, justice and mercy, faithfulness and grace. It is at the cross of Christ that all these meet, and if we dig deep enough into the core of our being, we will find that these are the things we will live and die for. - Me

To you, my reader. :)

There, look on me, so that you may not praise me beyond what I am; there, believe me, not others, about myself; there, attend to me and see what I have been in myself, through myself. - St Augustine

Fridays at Indochine

Hmm. Ever since evenings became more empty, I think I've spent about 4 0r 5 Friday evenings at Indochine at Wisma le. The last 3 were consecutive some more. Call me loser, call me no-life, or whatever, but for me, a Friday night out with a couple of drinks, some chicken wings and great acoustic-not-too-loud-for-your-ears music is the perfect way to unwind and release some of those shit that ppl put at my feet during the week.

It helps that besides the band, there is sometimes another attraction at the bar. This bapok.. hmm to be honest I dunno if she's a transsexual yet, but definitely already a transvestite, has a major crush on the lead singer of the band. She would often stand outside the bar, watching, clapping, dancing. When it's a particularly sexy song being sung, she would sometimes arch her back backwards to further protrude those mounds of hers. She goes crazy sometimes when the band wink at her for fun. And she's the one who screams the loudest and claps the loudest at the end of a song. It's fun to watch, but often I feel intensely sad for her. Wherever she stands, automatically people form a 5 metre radius around her, almost like got nuclear radiation. And that's besides my speculation about the internal confusion and external rejection.

In any case, Friday evenings there are great. I can sit back, lean back with a good Kilkenny draught and some chicken wings. For once, somebody else is doing the performing. It really helps me to unwind, and a good conversation adds to its shiok-ness. I love it. After working for a year, I really realise why many people go drinking after work. It's therapeutic! But, need to control la.. it's expensive. And also I think the best conversations come when the alcohol releases a bit of the inhibitions. Haha.

Some videos for your enjoyment. This is the primary reason why I go to Indochine on Fridays.
