9:36 pm
if only every other day could be like this.
calm, quiet, and having 9 to 10 hours of sleep every night.
oh, and when the only time i can spend with my bf was not just when he needed to send me home.
after the said 9 hours of sleep last night, i went to play pool with my bf at the pool centre beside katong centre (the new one, please don't confuse it with katong shopping centre).
and after playing the "sport" for almost 1 year, i have came to the conclusion that i had already realised the moment i started learning:
i so freaking suck at pool.
if it didn't cost so much to play the sport, i would have found time to play it now and then to prevent my third class skills from embarrassing myself.
although there were rare lucky streaks when i come this close to winning.
like i said, rare. rare and lucky.
while i was having dinner with my family, there was a documentary on discovery channel called "Who Killed JFK?" the mystery surrounding the assasination of the famous and much-loved ex-president of USA.
which reminds me, i missed the episodes that talked about how singapore picked herself up after WWII and the events that happened during our pioneer years.
damn.. i so regret for not remembering to watch.
anyways, that wasn't the point.
the show was about how some specialists tried to use footages of the public, who had filmed the part where president Kennedy paraded down a street in an open top car and was in the end shot, to find out who had killed the president, and how many people were actually involved in the assasination.
there was actually footage on the moment he was shot in the head. the person who filmed it must have felt freaking lucky; that single film must have been much sought after by the investigation team and researchers thus giving the guy some level of fame just by catching that historical yet gruesome moment.
as sadistic as i could be, watching the blood literally burst from a real person's head isn't as exhilerating as reading the same scene from mangas or watching it in animes or movies.
we're talking unscripted (maybe not on the part of the assasinator/s) murder.
watching it happen in an actual place on an actual living person feels a little sick, even to me.
while we were watching the documentary, my father asked me if i knew who was JFK.
i forgot his full name but i do know that he was a president of USA.
hey, at least i know his last name.
and then my father was like, "kids.. they only know the names of their idols."
it's not that i'm only interested in idols, present fashion, the "in" things and stuff. history and the mysteries created also appeal to me.
as much as concerts and cds gets me high, major history events, conspiracies, conflicts in wars and ancient civilisations get me glued to documentary channels and Horrible History books (which are, by the way, a good read. try Horrible Sciences too. the books in all the different series are factual yet entertaining at the same time).
must be that part in my upper secondary school days when i studied history acting on me.
either that, or i'm weird.
yes, i think i will settle on the fact that i am weird.
