Giggles, Laughter.
More drabbles. And more misuse of english words.
---
"Seriously Linda, your eyes are so beautiful. Like deep, soulful pools of eternal bliss."
"Now you're just being kind, Mike."
Laughter.
Nonchalantly, I glanced at the couple sitting together on the bench. The woman seemed to like his praise--although I couldn't comprehend why. That was the most horrible misuse of the English language I have ever heard. I kept walking.
She wanted to meet me at the cafe that had just opened. Powdered Cup, she said it was called. A friend of mine said that I would never be able to keep a woman for a week--two weeks, maximum. We'll see about that.
The bell at the door jingled as I entered the small cafe, and I saw her swinging her head in my direction. A smile etched itself on her lips and she focused her gaze towards the floor. She was seated at the far end of the shop, her usual sketchpad was in her hands. I nodded at her and sat down, grabbing the menu.
Coffee. Coffee. Tea. More coffee. How boring.
I snuck a peek at her and cleared my throat.
"You..."
"Hmm?" She looked up at me, dark, chocolate eyes expectant.
"Your eyes are beautiful. They're so... deep. And uh... Soulful?" Great. Now I'm copycat.
"Soulful?" She echoed, raising an eyebrow.
"Most definintely. Like the moon on a cloudless night, magnificently stunning, mesmerising even." I stopped. Why was she not gushing over me?
She stared at me. And then, she started giggling. It was almost undiscernable at first, but it gradually grew and grew until all eyes were on us both. I glared at them all, and they quickly faced their coffees and shenanigans.
What was she laughing about? It sounded different from the one the couple made. Louder, and more amused.
She gathered herself, although she was still chuckling. "You're not used to this, are you?"
Was it that obvious? "...No."
"It's okay. You don't have to force yourself to make comments you don't mean around me. I don't mind." She smiled. "But, thank you."

Letters.
Another drabble. A possible, possible, continuation of the previous drabble, although very far in the story.
What the hell did I just say? I'm not making any sense. Eh. Enjoy?
---
I pulled one of my hands out of my coat pockets, pausing briefly in mid-air, contemplating on whether this was right. I tilted her head upwards. Our eyes met for a split second before she turned away. Her's were pricked with tears, although they weren't flowing yet. She must be fighting to keep it in.
"I don't want to leave." She mumbled.
I wanted to hug her right then and there. I wanted to tell her how I shared the same sentiments. I wanted to say how much I...
How much I loved her.
But I can't. That'll just make it harder for her--for us both--to let go.
"It's for your own good." I pressed my lips to her forehead, lingering for a moment as I inhaled her intoxicating scent and mulled over when I'll get to see her again.
I turned around and started walking.
"Letters!" She shouted, suddenly. I faced her, eyes wide. What was she talking about?
With eyes so hopeful and a smile so weak, she continued, "I'll send you letters."

I'm bad at translating feelings, derp.

She Drew.
A short drabble on nothing specific. Just exercising my writing skills (which are apparently failing).
---
I lifted my head from the newspaper I was idly gazing at and looked at the girl before me. She was bent over her sketchpad, her black hair draped over her eyes like a curtain, although I was certain her eyes were darting towards my direction every few moments.. Her pencil made an incessant scritch-scratching noise as it moved over the page. This was a waste of time.
A breeze flitted by, carrying with it loose leaves and stray twigs across the near empty park, shining in parts where the sun casted a golden glow through the thick canopy of the trees. Weeds peeked from the tall, unkempt grass and mushrooms dotted the trunks of some trees. The overall appearance of the park was unkempt and wild. Definitely not a place I would choose to go. But, she had suggested it. What else could a gentleman do except entertain a lady's whim on their date?
At least, this was what it was supposed to be. I'd read in some materials that couples usually go to restaurants or have a leisurely stroll beside the beach on their dates, but I wasn't quite sure spending time in an overgrown mess of a park counts as well. But then again, I'd never been on a date.
Like I mentioned, this was a waste of time. Nothing was being gained from the mutual silence that settled before us. I would rather spend my time working, or even cleaning my handgun collect--
She looked up, smiling. She tilted her head slightly and passed me the sketch book, as if eager to hear my insight.
She drew me.

Dragging In The Lows.
I've been dwelling on the negative aspects of life lately. That, coupled with the dour-looking skies of the morning, is making me feel a bit ungrateful towards this wonderful life I have been gifted.

Obsessive, Compulsive.
I noticed that there's always that moment in a person's life where they obsess too much over someone, whether real or fiction, and they just spend every moment of their day researching on that person as much as possible.
For some, this can stretch out for a few hours. For others, years.
Don't look at me like that. You know this has happened to you too.

Bottle It Up.
It is often said that bottling up your emotions is a bad thing. I did my reasearch (oh yes, what a hardworking person I am) and there's a few reasons why this isn't a good thing.
1- Apparently all those bottled up emotions can make a person more irritable, aggressive and angry.
2- (This being the most common reason) Your emotions will get more and more intense, think of it as putting more coal in an already fiery furnace, and it will just explode one day.
3- You can become depressed.
4- These emotions can manifest themselves into diseases. (This, I think is stupid, but apparently it's a 'valid' reason.)
Now this is weird for me. I bottle up a lot. It's not that I want to, it just happens. Like a habit that clings to you. And it doesn't really affect me THAT much. Well, sure, I'm irritable, but only when I'm with people that really annoy me. And that's all. I don't really think much about emotions. Sometimes, they even confuse me.
To me, emotions can always be put aside. It's always possible to see the bigger picture. Except for when it isn't.
Okay I'm confusing myself now.

Words Words Words.
It amazes me how some people manage to integrate lengthy words into their sentences for everyday usage.
Egalitarian = Equal
Pedantic = The trait in which a person displays concern for precision and formality.

Treading For Nature.
Did I mention that we're going to the Singapore Zoological Gardens? It's an open concept zoo, and is one of the major tourist attractions--and rightly so too. It's beautiful, educational and awesome. What more can you want from a zoo?
And they even sell tiger ears and tails!

See?
Just A Hearty Fool.
Throbbing pain.
Something missing.
Time wasted.
I need something to occupy my time, and to take my mind off things I can't put my finger on.

Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not?
I really hope he wins. This guy... is so adorable.
Okay, that was out of character. I'm probably just the millionth girl to have said that.
Must be nice, having so many fans.

Did You Know?
Female Spotted Hyenas have clitoris' that are enlarged, making them look like penises.
I am not lying.
I am not lying.
Sugar Gliders.
Sugar Gliders. Cutest pets in the world. Too bad they're illegal in Singapore though.
Superstar.
How're their lives like I wonder? Especially since the really big ones. I mean, they have people wanting to jump them in every corner, not to mention Paparazzis, reporters and stuff like that. How do they cope with that popularity?
I'd feel totally claustrophobic.

An Alien With An Attitude.
So I watched Paul. And guess what.
I freakin' loved it.
Before I go all fangirly over how awesome this movie was to me, here's the basic plot (P.S: may contain spoilers) :
Writer Clive and artist Graem, are on a roadtrip across America to see areas where alien encounters were prevalent in the past. Along the way they meet titular alien, Paul, who's on the run from some men in black who're trying to harvest his brain for research purposes.
But it's all better than it sounds. Since Clive and Graem are Sci-Fi geeks (hell, they even went to Comic-con early in the movie), this movie is littered with references and shout-outs.
And PAUL. Oh God, PAUL. When I watched the trailer I was expecting him to be some sort of stereotypical "Foreign Alien" kind of alien. You know. Like ET. But boy, was I wrong by a million miles.
Paul crashed on Earth some sixty years ago, and he stayed here as a 'guest'. He presumably gave world leaders pointers on how to run their country, helped Steven Spielberg in one of his movies, and all those generic martians you see on Elementary lunch boxes? Yeah, they were based on him too.
So he's very human.
He uses profanity, smokes weed, and drinks. He's rude. Very rude.
But of course, he has a heart of gold.
So this movie has all of this and explosions, double-crossing, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. But it's not for kids.
Yep. The trailer lied. You definitely do not want to bring your kids to this movie.
And here's my lame attempt at reviewing a movie that geeks and nerds will love. Hooray.
It's Probin' Time.
And holy shiz, that CGI alien looks way real.

The Monotony That Is Life.
Here's the daily schedule of an average Singapore student:
6 AM : Wake up, bathe, go to school without breakfast.
8 AM : Start lessons.
2 PM : End lessons. Go home, while maybe stopping at Sweet Talk to get a drink.
3 PM : Chill on Facebook, Twitter, Formspring or some other generic social networking site.
8 PM : Dinner plus homework.
12 AM : Sleeping time.
And the cycle continues, give or take a few hours spent socializing with friends at the mall or library. And the schedule doesn't change when you become adults. Just replace the word 'school' with 'work' and you're done.
This is saddening because there's a big, beautiful world out there just waiting to be explored, embraced and cherished. But instead of running off to see this beauty we have in our hands, we focus ourselves on stuff that won't matter in twenty years to come.
Seriously. Algebra? Who uses that?
