What's wrong with the weather !!!!?!?! The air is so thick with humidity I can hardly take a breathe !!!! Every single breathe of air i take in feels like im breathing in some vacuum.

My gf's elder sis just got married last evening. The wedding dinner was held at SAFRA Yishun Country Club. Well the food was oke, not FANTASTIC but well, oke. HAHA. The appetizer was not as good as what my company's dinner's. Anyway, here's the list of dishes, appetizer,steam sea bass(?)in superior soy sauce, roasted piglet,sea cucumbers with mushrooms and some veg which is often grind to make veg noodles,prawns cooked in Chinese wine,fried scallops with celery,fried ee fu noodles,red bean paste with ginko nuts and one which i cannot think of now.

I must say the wedding album was very well taken.

Does anyone know if this movie called Prozac Nation is ever shown in Singapore? Im not sure if the movie is as good as the book but if anyone will wanna know the pains of a depression patient, they should seriously read this book. Here's some abstracts of the book in Chapter 1. It describes depression PERFECTLY.

"But depression is not a sudden diaster. It is more like a cancer: At first its tumourous mass is not even noticeable to the careful eye, and then one day--wham!--there is a huge, deadly seven pound lump lodged in your brain or your stomach or your shoulder blade, and this thing that your own body has produced is actually trying to kill you."

"Depression is in an altogether different zone because it involves a complete absence: absence of affect, absence of feeling, absence of response,absence of interest. The pain you feel in the course of a major clinical depression is an attempt on nature's part (nature, afterall, abhors a vacuum) to fil up the empty space."

Isn't this so dammmmm TRUE ?Anyone who had been through or going through depression will know. Well how do I know? Cos I been thru it myself. I was under anti-depressant medication and therapy when I was in army. Every session costed about $200 at a good private psychiatrist. Perhaps most pesants here are skeptical about depression. To most people I know, anyone who sees a psychiatrist is someone who is "mad" This is not so true at all. During that dreadful period, I was under constant fear or virtually nothing. My feelings was like a roller coaster ride, ups and downs ups and downs, rarely at a standstill. My mum at home then was not helping. She was one of my cause for my depression.

Ah well, everyone has a sob story to tell.
