this word caught my eye in the front page of a local tabloid some time back recently.
it was featuring the habit of party-goers being drunk and paralysed right after one of the major beach parties singapore can offer...
it being an ugly sight and detrimental to the well-being of themselves, and all.
the verb caught my eye, due to its auditory effect of its pronunciation which hints to its meaning instantly in my head.
the first thing that came to mind was slurpee.
u noe, the blended drink that was made famous by its brain-freeze ad while we were young.
i remember in primary school, i used to head down to a nearby 7-11 which juz opened, just to get my hands on a cup of slurpee. or that small cup of mr softee, which has died out.
slurpee, becoz... to me its the sound or sensation that u will experience when u attempt to stir a cup of slurpee substance, or mr softee.
.
brain-freezed.
slow-mode-ish.
but without its colorful flavors.
that is what im feeling rite now.
sloshed.
im drained.
mentally, and physically.
not that i was busy with anything specific in particular, but perhaps its the amount of transit from point a to point b that gets me exhausted the most.
its mind-numbing.
its when emptiness will reek in, and your existence juz gets insulated by the dusty and crowded confines of the bus/mrt, while u see the rest of the world passing by.
its not a conducive environment to get the badly needed 40winks or even a decent chat with anyone that happens to be with u, especially in buses.
if u got a seat, ud always have to be on the look-out for the elderly, less abled, with two- bodied, just so to avoid the silent criticism from the glaring of other passengers.
it gets better when u play a game with yrself of gauging the age and efficiency of a seemingly old person in front of u.
.
perhaps the reason im quite sloshed rite now, even though its been 6 hrs since i had reached home from my graveyard shift, is also due to the relatively long period of time since i ever did something which i enjoy so much.
one thing, ive been away from my love for a quite a while now.
and another thing, we have not been spending enough quality time together.
another factor is due to my highly critical status of my financial situation.
*sigh*
thinking abt it makes me lose my appetite, and even the will to just go out.
no money, no honey.
simple rule.
this is juz another effect of reification, where how we see the value of time and the tasks that we do, being merely measured and dependent by the value of money.
.
slave to the system.
urgh.
im being exploited, and its not a gd feeling.
im not talking abt the corporation im working for, but rather, im referring to the whole system that we are bounded by as a whole.
the individual in me is exhausted.
he needs some time to recuperate, but im not sure when can he, especially with the school term coming up, and in hand are a couple of humanitarian project to contend himself with.
.
ouh. i wanna bowl.
i miss bowling.
before i started my journey home, me in my sloshed mind, managed to bring up the possibility of having a bowling session with 2 of my colleagues in JB, who happen to love bowling too, but has not indulged in the sport for quite a while now.
the idea is still in its infancy.
and i fancy it being realised only after my next pay comes in, and that is already when school has re-opened.
school.
aiyah.
im worried for my grades.
last sem was bad. very bad.
enough said.
.
sloshed.
from the worrying.
and everything else that comes in between.
someone pls bring me the remedy.
.
i miss u, nur.
i really do.
:(
when can we have our own time coming?...
.dah. aku nak mandi skrng.
