K walked along the dark quiet stretch to his camp, carrying his bag. This road had been the subject of his overactive imagination every time he booked in, but this time, it was for real.

Out of nowhere, he heard a loud deep grunt. He started, and froze on the spot. Gradually he heard a low stentorian breathing, that seemed to belong to something massive. And dangerous.

He focused his weak human eyes on the murky liquid darkness of the grass patch next to him and peered hard. He made out a dark shape about 30 metres away. It's breathing was unimaginably loud.

He was acutely aware of his vulnerability, on foot, unarmed, no cover and no shelter. An open target. He did not want to run either. He walked forward a little. The shape moved parallel to him.

He stopped. It stopped. He walked forward more. The shape moved in another direction and disappeared. In a few moments, he heard the distant crashing of branches. And the Beast was gone.

Kay! Let me blog about yest. I went vivo, reached at 12. Xw was waiting for val so ben came next, at 12 plus. We decided to book tickets for Angels and Demons (Henceforth referred to as the movie)

Ben and i bought donuts, and then we went to candy empire. Xw came, and we went to Harbourfront centre. Ate at the food court.

The place was actually quite nice, but very quiet. I remember when the place first opened, it was crowded, but it seems that it has been relegated to a second class mall after vivo stole its thunder. Not that there was a lot to begin with, of course.

We decided to queue for tickets, because we wanted the safra discount. After lunch, we couldn't book online too. Managed to get centre front row, which was ok. Though it is better if it were not gv max. The bigger screen makes front row a little strained.

After the movie, walked around a while, val left us, then xw. Went home. Reached sk then realised i had a family dinner. It was around 8 then, but gv still hadn't started. Haha.

So i went down to clarke quay. It was a weird Chinese herbal restaurant situated opposite Lunar, and near The Bellini Grande. Situated amongst all the pubs and clubs. Of all the places. =.= The food was not too bad though. Haha.

Got caught in a jam, went home late, played restaurant city, went to sleep. Only got less than 2 hours of sleep. I wanted to wake up to play rc but i think i couldn't take it. Middle of the night woke up all sweating and hot and unfocused.

Came to camp this morning, and encountered the beast of Seletar. See entry above.

Still on duty. Plenty of stuff to take note. It's an exquisite punishment. The ultimate limbo. Outside and not outside. You can see outside. It's so near but you can't leave.

Furthermore, you stare at it but you know you won't be seeing it till friday. 6 days. So long. Outside, but not OUTSIDE. It's just a tiny boring little corner of the world. Imagine. Sunday. I could be outside, maybe Orchard, Vivo, with my friends.

Somewhere crowded, with lots of people. And noise and bustle. Somewhere with a LIFE. Here, i see people go in and come out. The bus comes like every 20 minutes. Maybe a couple of civilian cars from the private houses.

Makes you wonder, where are they going? What if you could find out? Where do they come from? Why are they going out? Outside but not outside.
