of hats and reindeer.

i don't enjoy boredom. i don't desire to always hang around the computer and emote myself freely to the free world. but there're times when i just can't help it. you know...those times where you'd prefer to sit around and do nothing at all and just sit down at your pc and watch episodes of anime, or a tv series, or whatnot? pornography notwithstanding, there're a lot of things that can be done at the convenience of your fingertips in your own room. who wants to go to college? let me bloody finish off the first season of the o.c., which i still haven't done yet despite promising myself a break. i'm not saying that i'm overworked [on the contrary, in fact], but i'm still bogged down with enough work that i can't even play a game of fifa. i've got music downloaded that i can't commit listening time to because...well, just because. and it's annoying. i can remember when my life involved lazing around at home and going to justin's just to hang out. it still happens now, definitely, but not as much.

and boredom, friends, beats dressing up as santa. but there're a few things that i've got to make clear, first, and after considering this points, you can see why i blame myself for being the stupid one:

1) i volunteered

2) it was kinda fun, being a crabby old man. i played against type, and i'm damn proud of it.

a white, fat, jolly old man in a red suit? make him tall, less fat, and chinese. yes, let's do that. put him in a suit that easily rips, with holes in the pants, and voila...a santa to go. luckily, i've already found a [ready and willing and believable] replacement. and there's only one week left. and we still can't find willing donors. that's the problem. not to mention the fact that it's still a bad time to hold any events in college. help idol inclusive. but, me being myself, i do believe that all this works out. eventually.

and i've also come to the conclusion that most malaysians are easily amused. even tow trucks taking cars away can be a highlight of a day, if perceived correctly.

brilliant.

the fact that we're easily amused stems down from one main, if not distinguishing, factor:

we have absolutely nothing to do anymore.

i can't do anything incredibly [moderately] spontaneous in this country without paying out of my nose. the main dating ritual involves a movie and dinner or one and the other. i can't even be me without someone looking at me funny. and where does this all lead to? madness? boredom? willful submission to a government whose led by [let's face it] two incredibly boring men?

i'm not hoping for bombs to go off or anything, but...come on...make something happen. where's the magic in living? i used to play baseball in the park back in manhattan...granted, kl is no manhattan, but...come on.

i guess we all demand more out of our lives. everyday.

still, boredom notwithstanding...hectic weeks are better than quiet ones. though they could at least just let me spend more time at home. i don't care if it's because i'm the biz council president [for the record, honestly,
i really don't like the term 'president' or any other similar titles]...everybody needs a break.

on the bright side, we have less than a month from a new year.

cast your fears aside, children. december has arrived.
