How were we supposed to know that the Earth Hour event was so crappy? Gee whiz. Yeah, being in town for all the Earth Hour buzz was pretty cool, since not many companies/shops bothered with turning their lights off.

They did turn the Singapore Flyer lights off but the bloody thing was still spinning.

Then came the great light-up. The candle-holding fiesta had so few people in it they couldn't make the phrase they were going to make, which was okay, but what the heck? They told us to be there at 6.30 pm and nothing happened until whoknowswhen. We ended up watching the awesome 24-hour tag videos on my phone for about an hour before getting in line, and woohoo the street lights were on and covering all our candlelight. Sat there for a while before.. Running off and leaving the candles behind.

Walked over to Esplanade Park to find that it wasn't much either, so we just walked away. The plan was to go for dinner at Marina Square, but we ended up in front of the Esplanade to watch the even-greater light-up.

It was 8.30 pm. The end of Earth Hour! Shaw house blasted their corporate logo through the sky almost immediately, the yellow Maybank emblem glowed in pride and the Esplanade itself started sparking up. By about 8.45 it was business as usual and we went on for dinner at Carl's.

Speaking of energy conservation.. I just burned an air ticket today :D

And so Japan won their second World Baseball Classic, with Ichiro making that winning hit and Darvish ending the 10th with a K. The best game I have EVER watched; the intensity and the excitement in that game could never be equalled.

I am SO going to the World Baseball Classic one day. Get all my Japan gear and wear it everyday.

How I wish I could be part of a team that would go to the World Baseball Classic. I would train every single day to switch to baseball, and train so hard, because it is at present only a dream. A dream that seems impossible to achieve. Not only because of my incapabilities. When will a country like Indonesia ever go to the Classic?

They say you have to be the change that you want to see in the world, start it with the man in the mirror. Maybe I will, someday, make my dream come true. They did say that if you can see it, then you can be it. I believe that even Ichiro started out as a kid with a dream.

Suddenly inspired to start typing stuff again. Of course, I have been gone for so long nobody would give a damn whether I type stuff or not, but it still is a pretty useful tool to be recording these things down for a good read in the future (: its pretty cool when you read all these notes of the past (and not even remembering that you actually wrote them), and its like watching yourself grow up to become who you are now. Tracking your "evolution" into what you are today, and the best thing is that the journey never stops.

Been busy doing nothing, playing Heroes V, going to university open houses, thinking about uni courses.. It all just goes around in a routine cycle. Can't wait to just get the applications over and done with, but it DOES affect my future after all. In a big way too. So I'd better be giving it more thought.. Well if you're in this situation too, or you have the same experience, chat me up maybe you'll give me some inspiration. Hahah.

I wonder what everyone else is doing? Well, for me because I can't work in Singapore, life's just like a holiday of sorts for now. Gee. It does get pretty lonely/boring out here like this. Hope I find something meaningful to do or I'm really going to become a real sloth.

Meanwhile, hope everyone's doing fine (:

AAABB FOR THE WIN!!!!!

Too long, too long. It's been too long and it's going to be so long. The uncertainty of the future, whether on the tangible or intangible side, is taking a lot out of me. As usual. I, for one, like to think that I have learnt many things over the past month. It was a month full of joy, and so packed with learning that one would have to be a complete idiot not to learn anything from it. Thank goodness I took the opportunity to go over to Pekanbaru, and I will go back again. I PROMISE. It is just a matter of time.

Anyway, I'm pretty much missing the peaceful life that I had over there. The warmth that I felt. It was all so precious to me, I hope I'll never forget the feeling. I admit I could have dealt with a lot of things in a better way, but the simple act of acting in a not-so-desirable way is in itself a lesson to be learnt. It was great to know that there still exists a place where I can just feel like I'm at home. After all, I've been moving around all the time and as a teenager the instability pretty much took the concept of "home" to a different level.

Just a short update before the results come out tomorrow. Gee. I miss my cousins too D: hope everything will be alright.
