A new blog skin. Wow. Many thanks to froggy for the free makeover =P. Though now that i have this, im thinking of having a header pic, background pic, and a mascot. What for? Plain and simple nothing.

A few problems though, one of which renders my post title redundent. Anyone can fix that? I'm offering a cookie for the help =D. Also, im missing the blogger toolbar that appears at the top already. Someone bring it back to me~

Ah well. Nothing much more to say right now. Thanks again froggy.

Firo, out.

Hey guys. Tonight feels like one of those nights where the world seems likes it's come to a stop, and where i would love to have a vast plain of grassland to lay down on while i stare at the night sky. Of course, i don't, so that makes for a whole lot more melancholy than usual. For this post i push aside my usual sarcastic comments, which unfortunately is where most of the entertainment lies tied like fishes on a stick. Yes, This is a warning. If you don't want to read these thoughts then please, save yourself right now by pressing that x button.

Ever felt like you just want to stop? Like, just stand up, walk onto the stage, and yell "HOLD ON A SECOND" to the world? They never listen, never. Especially when you get tired of all the hustle and bustle, all the work, all the stuff that rolls up on the carpet like a big fat and grimy furball spat by that neighbourhood cat. At least, they don't while Mr.Sun's up (Wth? get outta my sky this instant!). This night, this slightly cold and peaceful night where according to the kokster 'not sleeping is a sin', i don't want to think about most of my worries.

Just, one night.

Even if its only half a day worth of peace, i'll grab it and take it in. treasure it, hide it in that corner even. I'm tired.... of acting like it's so. Like everydays just another day. Like all we were born to do is to wake up, eat, go to school and work, eat somemore, and finally sleep. This cycle feels like one of those poor buffalos tied to a contraption so they could only move in a circle for the rest of their lives. No wait, let me rephrase that. This feels so... rushed. Like sonic on steroids. Before i knew it, it's already coming to the end of the second week of sem 2.2. What? Since when did time go so fast? I've yet to do anything at all! Anything worthwhile at least. I hate how time just flies by you, without you noticing. close to 18 years of existence.... bloody hell. If i was in another country i would be yearning to unleash that stash of adult videos on the big screens (Damn you singapore...).

But then again, having each second hop across the fence while you're tied to that front seat chair isn't the best of situations either. Time's a bitch, y'know that? When you want it to go slower, it crash lands and just sits there like a bawling 5 year-old who wants her dolly. Or that shop uncle who just wouldn't let you go because you're missing ten cents.

Me: Look, I'm short on a single coin. Now if you would please let me -
Shop uncle: What you think ten cents not money izzit!? Ten ten cents become one dollar, hundred ten cents become ten dollar, and ten hundred ten cents become hundred dollar! Ten cents now, or i smack until your backside no more!!

Nothing moves. Nothing gets done. Nothing happens. And when nothing happens, my mind starts to wander. usually starts with something related with the current, then slowly, very slowly, it runs off all the way to the other side of the world. Of family, friends, relationships, the future, life and death. That's why i have deemed deep thought to be unhealthy for me. Notice that mp4 around my neck? Lifesaver. Simply godsend. It's like a sedative for my mind, or a chain for the crazy hound.

So sometimes, i just want to set all my problems aside, walk to that window, and relax. It's the only way to truly enjoy time's passing. Feel the night wind in your face, and if possible sip on that cool drink slowly. I appreciate times like this, when i'm alone and not thinking so much. Calms the soul.

Do i like being alone? No, not always. I'm not a sociable person by nature, but i do so enjoy the company of friends. That's when i have to put extra energy into being friendly, just so i can return the favor. I don't take you people for granted, especially not friends who can put his or her hand down to add bits of colour to an otherwise black & white life. Since I'm already on this topic, let me take this chance to say something you guys probably will never hear from me face to face.

Thank you.

All of you, past and present, for being here. It's an honor to have you all around for all these years.

I don't know what kind of insane homicidal fellow threatened you into this, but it's been a joyride. Thanks for tolerating all the bull i've been throwing at all of you. Thanks for laughing at my one-legged jokes. Thanks for HUNTING ME DOWN IN DOTA. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

simply put, Thanks, for everything. Even to you all that i no longer remember. I remember the friendship, and it'll stay with me for as long as i can help it. Cheers.

So there you have it. My thoughts for this night, as i finish off my last paragrah of the post. Will probably head for the window next, like i said i would. To those who read this, try doing the same past midnight, it's real soothing. And make sure to get a can of ice lemon tea. I love those, they taste the coolest, literally. Lemon + Ice = *ahhhh~*.

Firo, out.

p.s. do try to keep any comments to yourself, i wouldn't be able to respond to any queries of any kind >_<
