Birds flying high

You know how I feel.
Sun in the sky,
you know how I feel.
Breeze drifting on by,
you know how I feel.

Its a new dawn.
Its a new day.
Its a new life,
for me.

And I'm feeling,






good.

Nostalgia trip

Yesterday, my dad took me to a place near to my childhood. Well, near it anyway.

Changi Village, for those of you that aren't familiar with Singapore, is a little "village" near the East Coast of Singapore. Its filled with food stalls, wet markets and expensive restaurants, along with several nearby army camps and prisons, and some beach-side getaways.

I went to Changi Village to eat breakfast with dad. After that, I told him that I wanted to visit a place nearby that I had gone to often as a kid.

This place nearby was an old swimming complex, owned by Singapore's own SIA. It had a gym, bowling alley, arcade, and an olympic sized swimming pool complete with an extra deep end for divers-in-training. I went there since I was a kid to attend swimming lessons. Got my Bronze Medal in Lifesaving skills there. After that, the place closed down and moved away, but I wanted to visit it again and check out what happened to it.

So, long story short, its trashed. My dad pulled up near the entrance to let me get out. Apparently the place is still state-owned, so they won't allow anyone in without permission and probably a hefty fee. The front entrances were all chained and closed up, but I found a small grille gate near the front that let me see in.

The pool was the most drained I had ever seen since....ever. The entire shallow end was dry. Only the deep diver's end had any water in it, and I'm betting that water is murky, dirty and a health hazard to fall into. The rest of the place is in disrepair, bits falling off, paint peeling, bits of the old child pool torn up for who knows what.

I have no idea what the government wants to do with this place, but I still want to head in there and check out what's inside for myself.

Just an update

Like coming back from the grave, eh?

Anyways, an update. Yes, I've been very, very busy with school. Yes, I have been catching up with Slenderblogs. No, I don't know what's going on with Stormecho's blog.

Ugh, just been tired. Bored out of my skull.

Maybe I should go annoy His Tentacled-ness. Or maybe I should just go study.

I think studying's a better idea for now.

Damn.

My desktop computer refused to boot up a few days ago. My dad took it down to his office where him and the resident tech-heads are looking over it. So for now I'm stuck with my mom's netbook.

For now.

And, also, school for me starts next Monday, so my blog posts will become less and less frequent. Maybe.

Mmh

Lately I've been pondering over a simple question: Why?

Why does Slender Man exist?
Why does he attack children?
Why does he relentlessly go after people that somehow notice his existence?
Why is he always hostile towards those that look for information about him?

Questions and more questions just run through my mind every day, and I can never find answers for them.

Maybe. Maybe...

Well, if I keep looking, I'll probably find more answers.

Storm: Hang in there buddy, we'll figure out what's going on yet. Just stay strong, keep your wits about you. And Echo too.

More Thoughts

Just finished reading The London Librarian's latest post. Got me thinking: 'Slendy's all over the world!'

I mean, yeah, Ava's found evidence of his origins in Egypt, and me and Storm found some nice folklore that might be Slendy in Chinese, Malay and Japanese culture. At this rate, if I keep digging, I'll probably find evidence of Slendy from Singapore to Antarctica.

Just a few minutes ago, I started trawling through Google on Russian folk tales, fairy tales and ghost stories. I didn't find anything unusual. Russian fairy tales are mostly happy ending/sad ending types, no spooky stuff, but I'll keep looking.

If there's evidence of Slendy elsewhere than North America (no shit) and the Middle East, I'll stumble upon it somehow.

Somehow.

...somehow...

Settled down

Hoo, what a week. Finally settled down after at least a week's worth of packing, moving, packing and more moving.

I'm all comfortable in my new (if temporary) room, which is actually lots more comfortable than my old place. My computer isn't set up yet, making this blog post from my mom's netbook.

Anyways, until my desktop computer's set up, I'll be posting from this netbook. Can't really keep up with the videos, so I'll have to content myself with the blogs.

And hey, I'm running my own blog. Whoop dee do. :3

Went back to the old, beat-up flat today to get a box that had some wires in it. For my speakers. Yeah, hooking up some older speakers, but they have better sound quality for my tunes. The kitchen looked like a warzone. Bricks everywhere, metalwork 'n stuff. And the bathrooms too. Took only two photos with my phone, I'll have them up when I get my desktop comp back.

Yuss, finally I get to relax. No more heavy lifting and moving.

Sit tight boys and girls, more stuff coming your way. Probably my research into Slendy, or my thoughts on the various stories.

Storm - I'm not entirely sure, but you could try using dishwashing liquid, water and a towel to get rid of those marker scales. Happy April Fools, though a late one. ;)
