cause emotions

I woke up in the middle of the night with a whirlpool of emotions. I had a dream, not a nightmare, with all the negative emotions that I hated the most: being upset and angry. It kind of reminded me of the childhood though, those negative emotions that I used to have and long forgotten now.

I guess it's my mind's way of releasing those depressing thoughts that I had accumulated so far.

Mondays

Walking Dead and Game of Thrones are the only shows I look forward to on Mondays.

Gone Girl Bye Boy

Gone Girl is a really great movie, but not the appropriate movie to catch after witnessing a wedding.

Theng had a wedding lunch on Saturday. It's surprising how well we knew each other, considering we only met for 3 months in NJC and then 2 years later we went on to our first overseas trip with friends with Waiyin. I also caught up with Waiyin and her interesting life which still, is the same after so many years of not catching up. Haha.

One of the best films this year, (the best is still GOTG) Gone girl never had a boring moment. It was well paced, simple story that kept the audience guessing, has great acting and a twisted ending. By twisted, it means wicked. Acting within acting, story within story, I guess people like to see actors acting in an act. Get it? and it's really hard for actors to pretend that they are acting an act.

I was wiking around, turns out the lead actress has the same birthdate as me.

I'm going to do a Bye Boy soon.

bad habits

From a few years back I always had this really bad habit of rubbing my thumbnail with my fingers and now it has resulted in my right thumbnail being more polished than my left thumbnail. I hadn't noticed it until Peishan suddenly asked me if I polished my nails. And it looks really polished due to the wear and tear effect of friction for so long. I really need to kick this bad habit.

So it had been 3 months and still no signs. I'm starting to feel that I have exhausted most of my options and I don't know what to do. I can only stay at this stage for this long before it becomes a habit. 

Oktoberfest

The previous Saturday I finally went to Stuttgart Blackforest Cafe, which was really marvellous. One of the best German restaurants in town, great atmosphere and great German food.

I had the one portion pork knuckle: dry crispy skin with succulent meat, paired with sauerkraut and potato salad to negate the fried stuff. The blackforest cake was also one of the best blackforest cake I had, although expensive but it is soaked with brandy or cherry liquor. There was an F1 event special so we had 1 for 1 bubbly wine too.HAPPINESS. I spent around $40 I think. I would definitely go back again.

Last Saturday it's Oktoberfest with the boys at Paulaner. Great food too.. I guess all German food are really good. But it is very pricey. I spent around $60 for many various types of food and a mug of beer. I would have eaten at a buffet for that price though.

So I have started gymming on Saturdays instead of dipping in the pool because my body has gotten too used to swimming so there's no more effect. Every Saturday it's a body-aching day for me but it feels really good, although I hang out after that. I always had trouble bathing on that day and the next.
