Long weekend...

The long awaited long weekend... cleared two days of leave to have five days to "rot" at home. Not much activities. Don't like the crowd at any public countdown sites. Promise myself never to step into one any more. Imagine you bathe, smell nice nice... take the effort to reach there via public transport to avoid traffic jam... managed to get past any human jam along the way... or better still, congratulate yourself on having managed to squeeze into the crowd to get nearer to the source of excitement... you'll regret horribly after a short while. You get pushed around, and when you wanna get out, you realized you couldn't and gotten pushed further in. When the DJs worked the crowd to a certain level of wildness, they turned crazy and you get elbowed accidentally... even a "wood block" will be cajoled to dance along when stucked among the shaking bodies... and with a terribly hot & humid weather, everyone sweats and somehow it seemed others sweat more and they felt sticky beside you. Yucks! Once bitten, twice shy... Anyway, the only vehicle needed to be shared... So I decided to stay at home to sleep and watch tv. Alas, re-confirmed just how terrible+horrible the tv programs can be without cable programs... luckily I still have the Initial D cartoons VCDs which I've borrowed from ML a week back. Phew!
