i finally got to watch the movie "knocked up". and it's cool. and a little disgusting too.

i now fully understand the danger of driving when you're not mentally sound. as mentioned earlier. i'm pretty much frustrated by a number of things, so yesterday's driving lesson was hell. i wasnt able to concentrate fully. i was so close to getting involved in some accidents.

today, inspired by neil humphrey's book, i went to explore the toa payoh area with my bike. visited the toa payoh park, which was formerly a bus interchange. pretty cool place. peaceful place actually. anyway, i carried on with the journey and turned left after CHIJ Toa Payoh before the phillips factory. went all the way up to the SLF building only to be welcomed by the sign "No shortcut to Thomson Rd".

damn.

so turned back and cycled on. turned left at Toa Payoh Rise and viola! i'm at thomson rd. was tempted to travel to the hougang/serangoon area on my bike. maybe even sengkang/compassvale through the park connectors. but my butt was protesting already.

so i made a detour and went to bishan park. saw a couple of old folks drawing portraits of the scenery. and they are really good at that like how alexandria is good at drawing manga stuff.

went home to try drawing. i think i'll just have to be satisfied with my stick figures.

"If the universe was a cold mechanism, if life was a journey from one empty blackness to another, he would not rant at God, because to do so was no more effective than screaming for help in the vacuum of deep space where sound could not travel, or like trying to draw breath underwater. But now, given any excuse to vent his fury on people, he had seized the opportunity with disturbing enthusiasm."
