CDL Update - Week 1

2007-10-12T10:56:00.000+08:00

Woohoo! I'm back! I'm Back!

...and ohhh...my back! My back!

ok I know its cliche...you all probably heard that from spiderman 2 I think..heh.. BUT seriously, my back hurts after 4 weeks of Physical Training Phase. Luckily, I got a week mc thanks or no thanks to sore eyes. You can take 1 day or 2 days off to recover but when you are given 7 days, it can make you lose your mind. Especially if you got that 7 days in sick bay.

Life is good in CD, and I only say LIFE not the food. The worst think there is probably the food. I'm sure 90% of the people there agree with this. Oh well, I guess it is not only cd that has bad food...right? Hmmm...

anyways.... after 4 weeks...

p/s oh is you wanna know what the title CDL means...its Civil Defense Life :)

Rants of the week: Week 5

2007-08-18T22:23:00.000+08:00

Nothing to write really, been reading so many complains lately and I thought to myself, does it do anyone any good? Maybe to you. For venting your frustrations over a crappy day maybe. But imagine this, if people in africa were given a blog to vent their frustrations, nothing you say can top their story. In fact, you can already figure out what are they gonna say every single day.

As a matter of fact, I'm writing this post on Monday, 20 August at work cos I can't find anything to talk about in this segment. So I tell you what, from today onwards, I'll only talk about 1 problem for the week.

Alrighty then, last week...what could be that bad so as to...ahhh yes! Suddenly remembered...

Name the bad habits woman has picked up from men over the years...

1) Spitting
2) Sitting with legs wide open
3) Talking like no one is around(...wait thats them :x)
4) Yawning with mouth open
5) Sprouting Profanities

Add more if you have any...

Saw this woman last week. 50-ish, quite plump, about 1.5 meters. When I entered the crowded train, she was already there, standing in the middle of the cabin. Nothing wrong at first right since she's nice enough to stand in the middle of the train allowing people to come in easily. But I was so wrong later on. When we reached Jurong east, most of the commuters alight. So generally there are lesser people in the train and most of the seats will be emptied.

The problem is, have you seen people in the train when they are gonna lay their precious butts on the chair, they kept flapping the seat, is that the right word? OK, what I meant was, trying to clean the chair even though there is nothing on it. Have you seen such a case? Yeah, so that is what this woman did, and everyone including me was looking at what she was "flapping" or tapping at. Thats not all, after she tap or flap finish, she sit down in the middle of two seats!! At the divider, you know? Right smack in the middle of 2 seats.

So what is the lesson learnt from here? If you have already over-do something, continue over doing things. :)

Policemen in Thailand Beware! If you are naughty, you could be wearing Hello Kitty to work!

Hello Kitty to punish bad-boy Thai police.

Thai police said Monday they have recruited Hello Kitty, the moon-faced global icon of cuteness, as a new disciplinary tool for officers found engaging in "inappropriate" behaviour.

Officers who speak too aggressively to civilians, who fail to turn off their engines when they park their cars, or commit other minor violations of proper conduct will be forced to wear bright pink Hello Kitty armbands as punishment, police Colonel Pongpat Chayaphan told AFP.

Previously such offences were punished by a written reprimand, but Pongpat said that seemed to do little to deter future breaches of conduct.

He said he hoped the Hello Kitty armbands would shame officers into shaping up.

"I chose this symbol because it is pink and easy to see," he said.

In addition to wearing the cartoon cat on their sleeves for one day, the officers will also have to be accompanied by whoever is the deputy chief on duty for the day, Pongpat added.

"This is intended to engender their feelings of guilt," Pongpat added.

Second offences will be dealt with by a disciplinary panel that could decide to detain the misbehaving officers, he said.

"License To Wed" follows newly-engaged Ben Murphy (John Krasinski) and his fiancee, Sadie Jones (Mandy Moore) - a girl who had always dreamed of getting married in a traditional wedding at her family church. The problem is St. Augustine's has just the one wedding slot available in the next two years and its charismatic pastor, Reverend Frank (Robin Williams), won't bless Ben and Sadie's union until they pass his patented, fool-proof marriage-prep course. Through outrageous classes, outlandish homework assignments and some pious manipulation, Ben and Sadie are about to find out if they really have what it takes to make it to the altar and live happily ever after.

Like Robin William as a funny man? You will love this show. Not too long and not too short, just an hour and 40 minutes show.

What's up next week: Week 4

2007-08-12T21:46:00.000+08:00

Alright be prepared for a rockin week.

Starting from Monday, Hungry Ghost Festival starts. During the seventh month of the Chinese calendar, the Chinese offer meals on the streets and at home to the spirits of the departed. They also burn paper money and offer prayers. In the heartlands, traditional performances are staged to entertain the spirits. *Not exactly a good way to start the week eh?*

But to top that, how about Gwen Stefani burnin up Singapore's stage on Tuesday? 2007 marks the launch of Gwen’s world tour in support of her already platinum current album, The Sweet Escape (released Dec 06), which includes the hit singles “The Sweet Escape featuring Akon” and “Wind It Up”. It is happening at the Singapore Indoor Stadium for a one night concert only!

On Thursday, Jason Bourne is back in his movie Bourne Ultimatum. All Jason Bourne wants is to disappear but now is hunted by the very people who made him what he is. Having lost his memory and the one person he loved, he is undeterred by the barrage of bullets and a new generation of highly-trained killers. Bourne has only one objective - to go back to the beginning and find out who he was. Now, in the new chapter of this espionage series, Bourne will hunt down his past in order to find a future. He must travel from Moscow, Paris, Madrid and London to Tangier and New York City as he continues his quest to find the real Jason Bourne - all the while trying to outmanoeuver the scores of cops, federal officers and Interpol agents with him in their crosshairs.

This 112 minutes movie directed by Paul Greengrass will probably be the last installment of the trilogy.

Friday we will be entertained by Akon in his AKON Smack That Party at D'Marquee, Downtown East . Well, maybe for only those who paid for it. Currently the hottest name in R & B, Multi-platinum recording superstar AKON will be performing in Singapore for a one night only show. The Senegal born singer/producer/songwriter is riding on the wave of unprecedented success of his singles; and on his best selling debut release, "Trouble". This concert represents AKON's first show in the country and his music has established a swath of Konvicted fans with a wide plethora of hits such as "Smack that" (recorded with Eminem), “I want to love you” (Recorded with Snoop Dogg) and of course, the break-out single “Locked up”. The soul man for the new millennium has a well crafted R & B voice with a streetwise swagger, and is currently one of most in-demand artists in the world, opening for legends like R.Kelly, Gwen Stefani and Elton John, just to name a few.

Enjoy your week! :)

Now, where shall I begin...right..

Monday

What is the top ten irritating things to do in the train.

10) If you're not gonna give up your seat to the pregnant lady, do not stare at her! :)

9) IF you are really that tired of standing, please do not lean on the holding bar and share your misery with others. :)

8) If you are gonna rush for that empty seat 50 meters away, please watch whose feet you're stepping. :)

7) (for big ladies) PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, when you're wearing mini skirts, DO NOT SIT DOWN. :)

6) (for men) When you're done with gym, please make it a habit of taking a bathe after that and DON'T where you sweaty mini shorts and singlets to the train. :)

5) I know Singapore is a nice and clean country but PLEASE make sure that whatever that is in your nose STAYS in your nose and not the window. :)

4) (For girls with long hair) Please do not keep flicking your hair when the train is crowded and ESPECIALLY when you know someone is directly behind you. :)

3) Couples with infants SHOULD try to refrain themselves from bringing them into crowded trains. :)

2) People with B.O should stay away from the aircon main source. (applicable to some trains only)

1) GAYS SHOULD JUST STAY FAR AWAY FROM ME IN THE TRAIN OR WHEREVER AS FOR THE MATTER OF FACT. :)

Saturday

Practical lesson. And for today's lesson, playing chicken with a female driver. Woman should not drive. Period. She lives today JUST BECAUSE my instructor had a break peddal at his side.

Ok, I was driving on a 2 lane road at 50km/h. Pretty decent right, that is the limit anyways. So this woman wanna cut me. She changes lane and accelerate. Upon seeing this, I accelerate with her. At that moment a SBS bus was approaching, about 100 meters away. She began to panic and accelerate more. I, refusing to give way, accelerate even more. Then suddenly I felt something is dragging me, it was my instructor. She's one lucky biatch. After that I got a scolding for racing with her. !!

Order in the court!

Brad Pitt is in the house, erm, court.

The Hollywood heart-throb reported for jury duty in Los Angeles, his publicist confirmed to AFP, before eventually being discharged after the case he was due to hear ended in a plea-deal.
The TMZ.com celebrity news website said Pitt had been ordered by justice officials to serve on a jury or else be held in contempt of court after being granted a string of delay orders.
Pitt's representatives denied the claim however, saying the actor had gone through the normal legal channels to seek an extension before he eventually reported for duty early Thursday.

TMZ said the "Seven" and "Troy" star mingled with other members of the jury pool before being discharged when the defendant in his pleaded 'no contest' to driving under the influence charges.

In the heart of Paris lies a deadly secret. Half a world away in Los Angeles, Ambassador Han is about to disclose it. In his possession is explosive new evidence about the inner workings of the Triads--the most powerful and notorious crime syndicate in the world. The Ambassador has discovered the identity of Shy Shen, the very crux of the wide-ranging crime ring, and he's about to reveal it to the World Criminal Court--until he is silenced by an assassin's bullet. The Triads will go to any lengths to make sure their secrets stay buried, and there's only one hope for stopping them. LAPD Detective Carter and Chinese Inspector Lee are back--back where they don't belong. The unlikely duo is headed to the City of Lights to stop a global criminal conspiracy and save the life of an old friend, Ambassador Han's now-grown daughter, Soo Yung. They don't know the city, the language or even exactly what they're looking for, but their race will take them across the city, from the depths of the Paris underground to the breathtaking heights of the Eiffel Tower, as they fight to outrun the world's most deadly criminals and save the day.

At the end of the day, you'll realise that all 3 Rush Hours are the same. Watch it if you want a good 1hr 30 min laugh and some ass kicking action.

Exhausting week this was. It has been a one man team since my colleague went for a holiday in Australia. I will fancy that trip after a long hard 5 days work. And not to mention boring, I can practically count the number of words I said on a daily basis.

Nothing to complain really, except for Thursday. After 3 days of lonely work, who could blame? Started to get really bad hallucinations. Oh, nothing like seeing imaginary animals or people if that is what you’re thinking. I meant something like your mind is talking to you and likewise. It is crazy when it started to feel paranoid. For a minute there I thought I was loosing it, seriously.

Thursday started off "normal". Besides the usual human traffic and crazy irritants who refuses to take out their EZ-link card when tapping out of the mrt station, it was all good. By the time I reach office, there’s a slight headache, maybe because of what happened along the way. After that, that was when my mind starts to wonder off. Made a couple of mistakes and end up doing it all over again. Forget about the cause, I’m starting to feel depress even writing about it. So lets just leave it like that...

Red Alert: Week 3

London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down...

London bridge is fallin down.....

My mistake...it is the Minnesota bridge.

The death toll from a collapsed U.S. highway bridge rose to at least five and was expected to climb more as divers felt their way through murky Mississippi waters to victims, authorities said on Friday.

As investigators looked for the cause of the collapse, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty said there had been "warning signs" of problems with the 40-year-old bridge and a local newspaper reported that plans to shore it up had been postponed pending other repairs.

The agency had decided to bolt plates into areas where inspectors found flaws in the steel girders, but that work had been postponed while the bridge was being resurfaced and other repairs were made over the summer, the newspaper reported.

"This bridge has been under inspections since 1990,". "There were warning signs that there were problems with this bridge, concerns with this bridge. But no one came forward and said a collapse is imminent or it should be closed."

The weird part of all these is that they rule out terrorrism first! Amazing! The US should be willing to take the responsibility of being complacent and not always blame external threats for their misery. In this case, checks and inspections had been done and THERE ARE faults found. So why isn't the management told? The threat too small? Tomorrow is ok? Sympathies for those who lost their love ones but it is time to wake up US! There are no one else to blame beside yourself!

Movie updates: Week 3

2007-08-02T20:23:00.000+08:00

First movie is the one staring Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson in Vacancy.

David and Amy Fox (Luke and Kate)find themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere when their car breaks down. Luckily, they come across a motel with a TV to entertain them during their overnight stay. However, there's something very strange and familiar about the Grade-Z slasher movies that the motel broadcasts for its guests' enjoyment. They all appear to be filmed in the very same room they occupy. Realizing that they are trapped in their room with hidden cameras now aimed at them filming their every move, David and Amy desperately find a means of escape through locked doors, crawlspaces and underground tunnels before they too become the newest stars of the mystery filmmaker's next cult classic.

Not that fantastic horror film considering it was played by Luke Wilson. It is like watching Adam Sandler staring in SAW. Ending could add a lil more blood I say.

Ratings: 3/5

Next movie is an animated movie of a chef wannabe rat in Paris.

A rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great French chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the sewers of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unlikely - and certainly unwanted - visitor in the kitchen of a fine French restaurant, Remy's passion for cooking soon sets into motion a hilarious and exciting rat race that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down.

Ok I know this movie hasn't come out in Singapore theatres, but you know there's the good old JB. :) One of the best animated movies besides Shrek.

2007-07-29T19:34:00.000+08:00

This topic need serious hard work. I can't find anything that is happening next week except for maybe movies on thusday. Even that part need serious consideration because, THERE ARE NO GOOD MOVIES OPENING THIS WEEK!

I tell you what, lets temporarily switch topic to "Hot topic of the Week". Sounds good aye? Lets do it!

For this week Hot Topic(s), EDDIE MURPHY got engaged! The star of films such as "Norbit" and "Dreamgirls" proposed to his girlfriend Tracey Edmonds, ex-wife of producer Kenneth Edmonds. Eddie, despite having a baby girl with former Spice Girl singer Mel B, proposed to Tracey with a cartier Yellow diamond ring weighing around 8 carats, and will reportedly say their "Ido's" before year's end. Eddie also made final his divorce to Nicole Mitchell, the mother of his five children last April 2006. (I guess Eddie must be feeling really lucky having made 2 woman pregnant but only marrying one...hmm)

Next story, the wedding between USHER and his pregnant fiance has been canceled, his publicist told The Associated Press on Saturday. The wedding between the multiplatinum singer and his longtime girlfriend, Tameka Foster, was scheduled for Saturday. The pair are expecting their first child together sometime this fall. However, a statement released by publicist Patti Webster exclusively to the AP read: "It was announced today that the wedding ceremony for Usher Raymond, IV and Tameka Foster was canceled. No additional information will be given regarding the circumstances of the cancellation, but we hope the privacy of this matter will be respected." Foster and Usher announced their engagement earlier this year, and later, that she was expecting his first child. She has three other children from a previous marriage. Webster would not comment on whether the two were still engaged or even a couple. (Cold feet?)

Sports News, Iraq won the Asian Cup for the first time Sunday, a beacon of hope for a nation divided by war. Iraq's 1-0 victory over Saudi Arabia on a 71st-minute header by captain Younis Mahmoud was an inspirational triumph for a team whose players straddle bitter and violent ethnic divides. After the game, Mahmoud called for the United States to withdraw its troops from his nation. "I want America to go out," he said. "Today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, but out. I wish the American people didn't invade Iraq and, hopefully, it will be over soon." Mahmoud also said he will not return to Iraq to celebrate. "I don't want the Iraqi people to be angry with me," he said. "If I go back with the team, anybody could kill me or try to hurt me." (where's the love captain?)

That's it for Hot Topics this week. :)

Now for the rants...

Monday 23rd July

Was going to work, beat all the morning traffic but in the end, end up waiting for this lady to buy her mineral bottle. There is a saying that woman SHOULD NOT hold a credit card, and you know what? IT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE! Ok, I always buy some things before going to office, either something to munch or drink. So as I was queing up to pay, this lady was in front of me with only a mineral water in her hands. Sound harmless right? But NOO, she took out her credit card to pay instead of just giving 90cents!! It took like forever to pay man! Fed-up I change queue. And when I left, she's still there signing the receipt or something like that.

Tuesday 24th July

Tuesday is a shitty day. And I literally mean shitty. Bad stomach ache in the morning but it simply won't come out...till I reach work. And you know what is the worst thing about doing your business at work toilet? You are sharing with the whole level people. And the male users in that level excluding my office people, DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FLUSH AFTER SHTTING. It is so irritating sometimes if you enter the toilet to do the smallest thing like washing your hand and at the corner of your eye, you will somehow see shit in the toilet! It was done by the bloody foreign students studying at the level. One of them was caught red handed by me so I'm not just accusing some random people. !!!

Wednesday 25th July

Totally boring day, it rained and rained and rained, and rained. Where do all the water come from anyways. I know how it works, rain, evaporate and come down again but where the hell is the evaporation part?? God is complex. :)

Thursday 26th July

Power failure! At work I mean. Went to work early only to find that there was this power failure that night. GREAT! It means that no recordings were made and when there are no news recordings, means no work! Literally. No work at all! From 9-6. SOO...me and my partner in crime went to watch (with Simpsons effect) Thee Simppsonnnsss..heheh.Great animation show, althought the mouth movements were off at times. Overall Kudos to the director. :)

Friday 27th July

OFF DAY! Decided to wake up late, like around 10? But dunno why these days kept waking up at 7+. Maybe because NS is glooming near. Went out to buy a friend's birthday present at City Hall, Peninsula Plaza. Believe it of not, I got a female friend a Real Madrid Jersey. Some may find the gift unusual but it turns out better than fine. :) Ain't going to go to details about the purchase in case she read this. So hush hush. :)

Red Alert: Week 2

2007-07-27T21:58:00.000+08:00

Alright, if you're wondering what has this cat got to do with this week's topic, it is because he is today's topic. This cat, named Oscar has the ability to, belief it or not, predict who is going to die.

Oscar the cat seems to have an uncanny knack for predicting when nursing home patients are going to die, by curling up next to them during their final hours. His accuracy, observed in 25 cases, has led the staff to call family members once he has chosen someone. It usually means they have less than four hours to live.

The 2-year-old feline was adopted as a kitten and grew up in a third-floor dementia unit at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. The facility treats people with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease and other illnesses.
After about six months, the staff noticed Oscar would make his own rounds, just like the doctors and nurses. He'd sniff and observe patients, then sit beside people who would wind up dying in a few hours.

If Oscar really is a furry grim reaper, it's also possible his behavior could be driven by self-centered pleasures like a heated blanket placed on a dying person. Nursing home staffers aren't concerned with explaining Oscar, so long as he gives families a better chance at saying goodbye to the dying.

Oscar recently received a wall plaque publicly commending his "compassionate hospice care."

Movie Update

2007-07-26T20:10:00.000+08:00

The Simpsons definitely live up to their expectations, the ability to wow audience unexpectedly. Like for example the introduction, I am not going to spoil it for those who have not catched Bart and family on the big screen.

The movie is filled with laughs all the way through; some slapstick humour for kids and some more grown up humour with some adult themes. After 18 years of the show being on air the producers have delivered with an excellent movie. Some may criticise the movie and say its too like an extended episode of the show well that is kind of obvious as it does have Homer, Marge, Lisa and Bart in it as well as the countless other characters from the show.

For me, I find this movie not to pushy but although The Simpsons I know are not known to input family values into the show, so this one kinda unusual or uncomfortable for me.

Pics Talk!

2007-07-25T22:20:00.000+08:00

Pic of the day goes to Lindsay Lohan. Apparently, according to Santa Monica Police, Lohan was arrested early Tuesday morning on suspicion of drunken driving at approximately 1:30 AM. She was driving a white SUV. When pulled over by police, authorities said the 21-year-old actress refused to submit to a Breathalyzer, but did agree to other field sobriety tests, which she failed. Another celebrity in the slammer...when will they ever learn that nobody is above the law? ;)

Video of the day!

2007-07-24T19:39:00.000+08:00

Alright, video of the day goes to Linkin Park new album, minutes to midnight. None other than their hit single "What I've done". This video hit over 15 million views since launch 14 million ahead of Rihanna's "Umbrella". Here are the 2 music videos... :)

Who said that?

2007-07-23T18:40:00.000+08:00

Ok, since this week is the simpson's week, here are a few quotes you can find in their usual conversations...

Bart: Mom, am I a butch or a femme?
Marge: Honey, you can be anything you want to be.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Homer Simpson: Sometimes, Marge, you just have to go with your gut.
Marge: You *always* go with your gut. How about for once you listen to your brain?
-----------------------------------------------------------
Lisa: Dad, what's a Muppet?
Homer: Well, it's not quite a mop, it's not quite a puppet, but man...
Homer: So to answer your question, I don't know.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Marge: Bart, would you like to say grace?
Bart: Yesum! [Bart says grace in Latin]
Homer: What the hell was that?
Lisa: Bart's speaking Latin, the language of Plutarc.
Homer: [Homer looks blankly] Micky Mouse's dog?

:)

Weekly issues

2007-07-21T22:47:00.000+08:00

Monday 16th July

The morning started with this mrt commuter pissing of not just me but 4 or 5 others who are queing up to tap out of the station. Have you seen Tanjong Pagar station 8.15 in the morning? It is like being stuck in Expo food show. Okok, so this woman with a huge hand bag, was trying to tap out. She took her hand bag and put in on the sensors, it turned red. So she tried again, she did this for 5 or 6 times. By then, all the people queing up behind her "migrated" except me. Even then, she tried again! I was like, "..take out yout damn card woman!"...idiot..

Wednesday 18th July

Went for lunch with the new guy in the office, he brought along his friend, Kimberly who teaches English to Korean students at the 21st storey in International Plaza. It was raining, everywhere was packed with people queing up for lunch, so we decided to have lunch at Amoy Street. Luckily, there's a shelter all the way there. OK so heres the issue, I have seen how Singaporeans "book" a seat with a pack of tissue paper on tv but NEVER real life. Seriously, when we reach there, there are alot of seats with tissue paper on them!! What happened to the old tradition of one member wait for the others to buy their food? At the end of the day, I came up with a business proposal, to set up a mini tissue stall, I bet there WILL be business. :)

Thursday 19th July

Nothing new happened at work but after, I received a text msg from a reliable gossip queen (heh heh, sorry man) that one of my friend's father got knocked down by a bus. I was told that the situation wasn't that serious. Ok, I have to clarify this, my definition of serious is either there's blood or someone died. Other than that, the person will live another day(and of course more)

Friday 20th July

The new guy, Andy, took the day off. He said he had to stay back at NTU for some stuff. Rushed all the work like mad. In case if you're wondering what I'm doing, I'm part of a reasearch team at CNBC Asia Pacific. We do research such as viewier's ratings, who's watching which segment of the news and all that. I had to cover 3 channels, CNN, BBC and Bloomberg. Long day man...then received a text msg from the "gossip queen" that the situation of my friend's dad took a turn for the worst as X-ray reports showes that there's a fracture somewhere, I forgot, heh... All the best :)

Red Alert!

2007-07-20T20:12:00.000+08:00

Alright, alright today's segment of "Red Alert" isn't about games but it is more about news that is going to happen or what has already happened. For today's Red Alert, POTTER FANS listen up!

On Saturday, readers around the globe will learn the schoolboy wizard's fate with the publication of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," the seventh and final book in J.K. Rowling's fantasy series. Will Harry defeat his evil nemesis, Lord Voldemort, and restore order to the wizarding world? Will he die in the attempt, as many fans fear?

Hundreds of bookstore staff were planning to don wizard costumes to promote the book, which is being released across the globe at 2300 GMT. Workers at Kinokuniya bookstore in Singapore are to dress up to hand out free drinks and specially printed bookmarks to Harry Potter fans.

Will these three die?

Or will they smile to live another day?

Movie Updates

2007-07-19T21:46:00.000+08:00

Since this is the first "Movie Update", let's run through last 3 weeks movies. First up is no other than the fight between Optimus Prime and Megatron for a...cube? Well...yeah...BUT the 2hrs+ movie packed quite a punch when it comes to back to back tranformation. What is there not to like about this movie? There are the hunks and babes(babe or rather) and the action.
Ratings: 4/5

Next on the list would be the highly anticipated 5th installment of the Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix. Sad to say that it can only be an anticipated movie and nothing more. New Harry Potter director, David Yates disappoints fans around the globe with his more talk and less action, movie. Yates failed to add that extra power to the movie unlike his predecessors Mike Newell, Alfonso Cuarón and Chris Columbus who covers the previous 4 installments of the movie.
Ratings: 3/5

Last week's movie blockbuster would be another series of Bruce Willis Die Hard 4.0. If you have watched his last 3 Die hard movies, this is no different. Die Hard leaves you sitting on the edge of your seat with all the action, stunts and gut wrenching moves. (Maggie Q won't disappoint you either with her Kung Fu moves) Whole story is based on basic cartoon rule however, heroes never die. Bruce will show you how to kill an F-16. (watch and learn Osama)

Ratings: 3.5/5

Thats your movies update for the last 3 weeks! Signing off! :)

Pic of the day!

2007-07-18T22:11:00.000+08:00

The pic of the day definitely goes to probably wedding of the month stars, Eva Longoria (Eva Parker?) and Tony parker. I guess Eva's no more desperate?

32 year old Eva Longoria and Tony Parker, 25, exchanged wedding vows in French and English at a lavish church ceremony on Saturday (07.07.07). The Texan-born 'Desperate Housewives' actress made her vows in French, while Tony, who was born in France, made his in English in front of 250 guests at Paris' Church of Saint Germain l'Auxerrois.

Quote of the Day

2007-07-16T20:11:00.000+08:00

Hola, lets test Jessica Simpson wisdom. We all know she can sing and look good on tv but do we really know what's in her head?

Drew: 'Jessica, you want some buffalo wings?'

Jessica: 'Sorry I don't eat buffalo'.

Now we know hur?

RE-Launch

2007-07-14T17:00:00.000+08:00

Hello my freaky darlings... alright that was not an original starting line but anyways

RE-LAUNCH. Decided to give this blog a different feel and life. This time, not all will be daily sad life ramblings but will follow closely to the topic of the day(E-Daily), that is not original too. Googled "E-daily" on the net and someone has already used it. :P

Official opening will be on Monday. :)

2007-07-13T23:59:00.000+08:00

REVAMP

Upgrading works are being done to serve you better :)

2007-04-14T20:00:00.000+08:00

Whats up with people nowadays showing off their handphones speakers?? This boy was playing songs from the boyband "Blue" from his phone in the bus. For crying out loud, there is already the TV mobile. Just as he alighted the bus, this old couple came in and did the same thing. This time playing old chinese classics. At that moment, I really missed that Blue song.
-_-""

The agony is not over yet, while this couple is enjoying their song, this old man came in and sit beside me. Can't figure out whether he's a retard or drunk. He kept staring at this woman's chest even when she's looking at him. And its not those far stare, its those stick your face there kinda stare. Maybe a retarded drunk old man?

I rest my case.

2007-04-12T20:00:00.000+08:00

FIRST OF ALL

enough said... :)

Secondly, my pilot dreams are gone. A piece of paper can make a difference. I can't seem to remember any difficult part of the test except for the flight simulation. The damn joystick is crap la...anyways too late to look back now. Devastated? Definately...just like failling your basic theory and don't know what is wrong. f**k it. Time waits for no man. Move on and never look back...

Ook, next. TMR is a great day. Last day of work! I can't stand labour work. Expected to finish 2 rounds of 30 stories each. The worst thing is, if you do a good job, you can't stop till 4.30. And in all, you will cover roughly 4 rounds. That is 120 stories a day. I repeat 120 stories. And i'm paid like 5.50 per hour. Screw the free food. No amount of food can take away pain. Maybe for woman can la...chocolates or cream for some. heh. ;P

Last, I'm sure everyone has been talking abt the PM's pay and all. 2.5 million per year to 3.2 million. That is roughly 267K per month. 67K per week. More or less like the pay of Frank Lampard. Question is, are we buying football players? One MP claims its about emotions vs logic. I think its crap, we all learnt back in secondary school days that PM's pay is the highest in the world because to prevent corruption within Singapore but are they telling us that if they are not paid handsomely, there will BE corruption?

Some MP says that the pay symbolises sacrifices they had to make for the country. If that is the case, hey i'm working at swissotel generating profits for the service sector and also tourism industry, one of Singapore's main income, where is my cut?? I'm being paid like 33 bucks a day lah! Looks like the reign of the "Lee" family is on for yet another 15 years as today Jr Lee said he is not gonna be a PM till 70. And yeah...the donation of "600K" from your pay to charity really works man. It feels so much better..really :)

I'll probably get sued saying all these...what's new? Anyone who opposes either in jail or bankrupt.

A phrase to live by, "No man should fear another man."

2007-03-27T20:00:00.000+08:00

The weird thing about a hard day work is that when you reach the final minutes of your tiring work, all it takes is a pretty face to erase all that tiredness away. Thank god that somewhere is that infested with old timers workplace of mine there's actually a pretty face. It really does helps when you had to climb 34 stories at least 2 times before calling it a day.

Started work today at Swissotel, in the housekeeping department. Weird but it is actually a good place to work at. No stress, no targets and no SALES. The pay is standard for that kind of job I guess. Starting from the 63rd storey, I just have to throw down linen down this chute akin to the rubbish chute we usually see at home. I just have to do this till the 39th floor. Quite ok actually but at times it can be lonely because you have to work alone. But since today is my first day, I had to be attached to this uncle. We call him uncle yam. Nice dude, found out many things about him, 53 year old, been there 3 years, 2 kids etc. The whole environment there is not say great but relaxing, at least for those doing my kind of work.

Oh well…won't wanna drag this post. Work again tomorrow.

GRADUATION DAY

2007-03-09T21:30:00.000+08:00

Went to genting for 3 days with 4 friends. Decided to take a break from Singapore's culture for a while before embarking on a nightmare of no return (ns).

2007-02-28T21:03:00.000+08:00

First reaction when I read the NewPaper today... "....Holy mother of @#$%...!!" It read, "Singapore 9 year old give birth" something like that. 9?! And the father, another 9 year old. Shouldn't they be discovering what is division or something?? 9 year old is a bloody primary 3 student for crying out loud!! What has happened to this world? Old god knows.

Hundred and one post, and how has this been going? Looked back at what or who made me start this, and all I can think of is... This song by Hinder

I think you can do much better than me

After all the lies I made you believe

Guilt kicks in and I start to see

The edge of the bed

Where your nightgown used to be

I told myself I wouldn't miss you
But I remembered
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

While looking through your old box of notes
I found those pictures
That you were looking for
If there's one memory I don't want to lose
That time at the mall
You and me in the dressing room

I told myself I won't miss you
But I remembered
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

The bed I'm lying in is getting colder
Wish I never would've said it's over
And I can't pretend that I won't think about you when I'm older
Cause we never really had our closure
This can't be the end

I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

"Freedom is nothing unless you met hell."

By the time this is published, many things had happened. So many till I do not know where to start, oh wait. Let me start with Singnet. In fact, the reason that this post took so long to be published is solely due to Singnet. To make long story short, they cut off both of my internet line when I only ask to terminate one. Idiots.

At that period of time, my fyp team and I were rushing our project. We wanted to end it before New Year so that we could enjoy the remaining time we had left. I got no internet access for 1 and the half month. @#$%^&

Oh well, the internet line is better than ever now. Three letters M-I-O. Woohoo! No dc so far, that is good right?

After that was New Year, 2007 has arrived. Is it me or time is flying damn fast. And the moment 2007 arrive, I was locked out of my own room. #$%^& The last time I stepped into RP was 2004 and now I am graduating. I don't think I am going to say this but, I am really going to miss the poly days. Some would say I am nuts to miss RP la but hey have you ever gone to town in the middle of the day with your class and catch a movie and be back in time for class? It was like awesome la!! And have you played online games with your class in the middle of lessons?? All these bring new meaning to the word school man. At the end of the day you can still graduate. This brings to my New Year resolution, "life is short, live it while you still can." I really mean it; you can never know when you are going to miss the days when you are actually leaving the days.

January, mix feelings actually. Part of me is glad that 2006 is gone and part of me was like, "damn, it is January again." Kinda feel like Monday. The start of everything all over again, school, weather, life. It feels like after you have reached the peak of the tallest mountain, you discover that there is still a long way to go to the peak.

Oh well, still, it is February already la! And soon march then April then 21 birthday… :X

Shall not continue…

Oh yeah, January 24th was the presentation day. It was great; to be honest I was more worried about my napfa test later on in the day. And I was right to be worried, didn't have the strength to pass the running part, as usual. But I have my reasons, triple combo tests la that day. Had the presentation to do, then a test then napfa. I swear they were trying to kill me; they were trying to test my endurance level!

One hell of a year so far eh?

"Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself have tested and judge to be true."

Somebody a long time ago told me that, "history is not about facts; it is about who is telling the story and what he/she believed to be true." It may not seem like a very extravagant word but it actually does play a major role in your life. It did in my life. Ok, who's kidding who here? My belief failed me half the time.

To some, what they believed in is so strong till it makes them go that extra mile for the sake of themselves. Sometimes, when you are given that many barriers from reaching your goal, it means that it just wasn't to be. SO ACCEPT IT! It is WRONG to defy nature when they have already forbid you to reach your goal.

I wasn't brought up to easily accept things. Sometimes when I do some things, it may not be that I belief in doing it, but for the sake of the person I'm doing it for. It is through experience that you'll know whether things are not what they looked like at first.

I'm dragging this post…it has been an hour since I sat down and start typing this entry. I'm physically tired from the trial run for NAPHA this morning. Forgive me if the content is brainless. My thoughts is clouded at the moment. Oh yeah, I BELIEVED, and I pass my 2.4km run. :)

Courtship or relationship can be viewed in many ways. First of all, what is love? To me love is a temporary insanity, curable only by marriage. I am not saying that you should get married in order to feel love but hey how many of us really knows the meaning of love? From a typical guy's perspective, love = sex. Let’s not point fingers, truly from your heart (guys), you answer the theory yourself. If you are not in that category, don't count yourself lucky just yet. You may just have some sick reasons too!

For woman, well I can't really tell, but according to my female friends, love to them is when guys manage to sweep off their feet, make their heart beat fast and weak in the knees or something like that. But like I said, different people have different reasons. Women will usually have reasons like security or someone to protect them or something like that, somewhere there. But is that love?

For those who have a significant other, answer this. If you know what is love and show that love towards your partner, why is that you treat your parents differently? For example;

Question: Darling, have you eaten?
Answer: No darling, you want to eat together?

But when you're mum ask;

Question: boy/girl, have you eaten?
Answer: (probably shouting) Nope! What did you cook??

See the difference? If this is your scenario every single day, you dare to say to love someone? Some reasons are just plain nonsense, "peer pressure". Three words, pressure my ass. Do your friends hold a knife to your throat forcing you to have a partner? You will probably just make a fool out of yourself when maintaining them.

IS RELATIONSHIP NECESSARRY?

Answer is no. Why are you committing yourself to take care of someone's child when you have all the freedom in the world to do anything you want? Can you take care of yourself in the first place? You want to know what pressure is? Taking care of living things is pressure. Ask your mum if you have to.

"Love at first sight is easy to understand; it's when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle."

"The beginning of wisdom is found in doubting; by doubting we come to the question, and by seeking we may come upon the truth."

2006-11-08T22:04:00.000+08:00

"Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live."

Today marks the day that my neighbor leaves this world. She died last Sunday, the day many kids like me went out for hari raya gathering and all. Still can't believe she died, she looked so lively every time I met her. She never fails to smile and say hello whenever she meets me.

I think I've always knew that the beginning of that day sucked. The way it started and the way it runs. In fact, I think I’ve always knew when death arrives. The day princess Diana was involve in that fatal car accident, I was having tuition outside. The day sucked, got scolded for not being able to answer math questions. The day, I can still remember that the air was, stuffy. No wind, no breeze, all I can remember was that I just wanted to go home and take a cool bath. When I reached home, the news of Princess Diana death came up on TV.

Another incident was the September 11, attack on the world trade centre. A day before the accident, I was down with a really bad headache, so bad till I can't get up to even see the doctor. Luckily, my mom is a nurse, If not I think my head is going to explode. That was in secondary school if I'm not wrong. I got a 2 days MC the day after. The next day was when hell breaks loose in NY, terrorists' attacks on the WTC.

Recently, my last holidays, me and my friends was suppose to go to Bangkok for a holiday, we can't get the flights as they are already fully booked. We went to several tour agencies but all said the same thing. So we gave up trying and proposed after graduation. Few days later, news shows bombings in some parts of Bangkok followed by riots over the presidential election stuff. Just so happens that, at that exact day when we are suppose to be in Bangkok, the bombs and stuff happens.

Coincidence? Maybe, but I'm not taking risks on holiday destinations next time. God has written down our past, present and future. So if were to leave earth tomorrow, so be it.

"Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive; the risk to be alive and express what we really are."

"Trust no one unless you have eaten much salt with him."

But then again if you are dumb enough not to realise that your clique hates you, I have nothing to say. So what happened to the friend I talked about earlier? He is still there, clueless, still, yup. Oh for your info, the friend I was talking about, I don't specifically say it is a he, so don't get me wrong if any guy feel that I am talking about him. Apologies if I don't make myself clear. So lets make the 'friend' gender X so that I don't yeah you got what I mean.

Alright, enough about X yea? Let's change the subject for today, let us talk about clique. How does it differ from gangs? Answer, nothing, there are no difference. Let me tell you why. First, people in gangs or cliques are nothing when stand alone. When you put one of them out there by himself, he would practically crumble. Ever heard of five strands of hair is stronger than one? No? You ought to try it sometime.

Here is what I read about people in cliques, "Stem from an overwhelming desire to fit in, revolve around interests with friends and peers, deal in social power, not everyone is welcome and excluding becomes the primary activity."

I think what they forgot to include is that they are insecure people who seeks self respect by forming a group to show authority to others.

I rest my case. They are by far to me the loneliest people in the planet who desperately need another loner with similar interests to keep them company as long as possible to pass through a phase of life. No one says it better than Shakespeare himself.

"Love all, trust a few." William Shakespeare

Respect

2006-10-28T19:26:00.000+08:00

What the world really needs now is respect. Everyone knows the word, knows what it means but the only thing that they lack off is the application. Everywhere you go, you will always hear "I want" or "Me". Sometimes it is not what you want that matters, on the flip side, what you want can be in a sense of respect.

Before I get any further, what is respect? Some people just associate respect to authority and some, well, they just don't have any.

I have a friend, well he doesn't consider me one, but anyhow, he thought he is in this group of his. Clique is what we call it. Problem is he doesn’t have a clue that this 'clique' of his considered him as one of them. Get my drift? Me? I was never in any clique, even if I was invited with a Lamborghini to specially join one. To me it just feels weird walking around in groups of 5 minimum. Back to the story, well this friend of mine had no idea his 'clique' was bad talking him behind his back. Mr. stinky feet or Mr. Biggie is what they call him. How do I know all this? The trick is, you have to look from outside to have a clearer view of everything. I am never on anyone's side, so I've seen everything. Three words Never Trust Anyone. Not even your best friend. Seriously if you are going to pour out your soul to anyone, it better be the big man up there. Or your dog, since both can't stab you in the back and spread nonsensical rumors about you.

How do you know when your clique is hiding something from you? Firstly, when they are engaged in a conversation and leaving you out of the picture. Secondly is when they are looking at you funny. Lastly is when they come to you and ask, "How are you?"

Always stick by this rule, "A man who doesn't trust himself can never really trust anyone else."

To be continued...

Satu hari di Hari Raya

Ku lihat cahaya bersinar indah

Langit cemerlang tak terkira

Tanda kuasa yang Maha Esa

Memberi nikmat pada manusia

Satu hari di Hari Raya

Ku dengar irama yang sungguh indah

Ku coba mendekati padanya

Kira irama itu adalah

Suara pujian pada yang Esa

Satu hari di Hari Raya

Aku menangis tanda gembira

Aku menangis tanda ku cinta kepadaNya

Satu hari di Hari Raya

Ku lihat wajah suci ibuku

Ku lihat wajah kasih ayahku

Ku gembira

Mungkin inilah dia kebahagiaan

If only you could see the tears in the world you left behind

If only you could heal my heart just one more time

Even when I close my eyes

There's an image of your face

And once again I come I'll realise

You're a loss I can't replace

Soledad

It's a keeping for the lonely

Since the day that you were gone

Why did you leave me

Soledad

In my heart you were the only

And your memory live on

Why did you leave me

Soledad

Walking down the streets of Nothingville

Where our love was young and free

Can't believe just what an empty place

It has come to be

I would give my life away

If it could only be the same

Cause I can't still the voice inside of me

That is calling out your name

Soledad

It's a keeping for the lonely

Since the day that you were gone

Why did you leave me

Soledad

In my heart you were the only

And your memory live on

Why did you leave me

Soledad

Time will never change the things you told me

After all we're meant to be love will bring us back to you and me

If only you could see

Soledad

It's a keeping for the lonely

Since the day that you were gone

Why did you leave me

Soledad

In my heart you were the only

And your memory live on

Why did you leave me

Soledad

Thats it...tomorrow is the moment of truth!

The travel agency is gonna give me a confirmation call...

on whether I get to go to Bangkok for a holiday....!!

Went over to bugis today to meet up with Mr. Ahmad (the travel agent)...

...to discuss abt the trip...

Not the best of response I must say...

Chances are abt 1/10...

Not as bad as 1 to a 100 right?

.....

right??

Plan A was genting...

it was an immediate 'No' from Ahmad...

reason?

'Too Packed'

...dammit...

Plan B

Bangkok

...wasn't that excited...

but

Heck...nvr been there anyways...

Now a Plan C

told Ahmad...

'Anywhere but Singapore'

i'm desperate...

can't you tell?

lol

but of course within the budget...

Can't wait to get off this stinkin island...

it's abt time someone go for a holiday

and the person is...

ME!

2006-08-22T20:40:00.000+08:00

Woohoo!

End of semester 1!

4 more months of school left!

Does it sound weird that I'm happy leaving the class?

I'm Overjoyed...Ecstatic....and errr....you get the point..

Have you ever been to a place where you know the people around you but cannot get along due to some differences?

No?

Try imagining yourself in a place where no one wanna communicate in your language. They can but they preferred not to.

Forgive me for being a loner or anti-social but hey, I can't communicate with you guys.

Seriously man, I TRIED really. Sometimes I wished I was a chinese...no barriers to anything at all. If only....

It is kinda sad if you had to endure all these and put on a fake smile just to hold on till the very last day. It is even sadder to blog all these crap happening in my life. *sigh*

To those few that I rant to about this matter personally, sorry for that...I'm just not used to being a stranger looking in. :)

Its alright....

4 more months...

hopefully life changes...

seriously...

2006-08-05T20:32:00.000+08:00

Woohoo! I'm back! From 3 months of err....absence?

Hmmm...you'll come to a time when there is nothing to talk about.

Absolutely NOTHING

yups yups...

but after 3 months?

I wouldn't say plenty of stories lah...but wth...here goes...

First up...FYP IS NO MORE!!
well....for the time being...heheh..

In RP, presentation is nothing....so when we said we have finished...means the process is done! Not the presentation though =D

sheesh...hated the process....absolutely no life at ALL...I mean it...NO LIFE! To give u a clue how 'no life' means...

Initially..
==> go school
==> slack
==> eat
==> talk crap
==> finish school
==> go for a game of pool
==> Home
==> watch tv
==> Sleep

Now...
==> Go school
==> Try to keep up with the grades
==> Do project in the process
==> Finish school (notice I skipped 'eat')
==> FYP meeting
==> Home
==> Do project
==> Sleep

Oh yeah...I lost like about 5 kilos in this 3 months? An achievement actually =D

Oh well...its done...so...wth...PARTY!
Ooh...yesterday was my fac last day facilitating my class.....
So you know wat it means right??
Yeap.....
its....
......pictures......... -_-"""

Oh didn't I tell you? I've decided to cut 'botak'!

It's for the children people! Cancer kids! Besides...all bald people are briliant....

Let me give you some examples....Beckham....Zidane....Stone Cold Steve Austin =D...Albert Einstine...oh you get the point...hee..!

The New Paper Big Walk 2006 today. Hmmm...freaking tired from yesterday's mini gathering. Felt like walking at least 20km for the past 2 days. But if you have ever followed your girlfriend for shopping, this event it nothing to you. Peanuts. Heh..You should in fact consider taking part in the competitive walk.

Went with my dad and bro this morning. My mum claims she has stomach ache. She was so alive lah went we got home, like nothing happened like that. However, left home at 6.15 and took bus number 30 all the way to Kallang! My dad was so sure we're not gonna be late. But we are, yeap. When the race started, we were at the 400m mark I think. So we just followed the crowd lah. Too lazy to walk all the way to the start...ahaha..

Fake starting line lah...was taken after we finished the race..=x
At the 5km mark
The phenomenal number of ppl who just started the race on the other side of the road
Ahh...finally gonna finish!!
Don't be fooled....they are one of those who never even started the race
Beakfast!! (dad and bro)
On the way HOME!!

And yea la...slept all the way..20 mins bus ride
Now, doing FYP. Ekh..hated the word....

Worst project I've ever done lah..Dunno how it gonna turn out man..

For the first time I'm clueless abt the whole damn thing.

Had to show the fac a some programming techniques on tuesday

and I done even have the bloody program...

I'm in deep shit I tell you...

No damn clue why a business student need to do programming sia..

Oh well...

Have you ever in your life talk back to your facilitator till he\she has nothing else to say to you? Yes? How about taking a step further, try shutting up the module chair. Hmmm...guess what...I just did. Yeap, my FYP facilitator. Also happens to be the module chair of IT. This is what I told her...

First thing first, the name whom you called 'Ispandi' is *****'s father. Get it right. I'm sure this is not the first time you met a malay student. Secondly our scheduled meeting was suppose to be on a Thursday, any meeting held other than Thursday needed to be checked in our own schedule, it is mutually agreed between us. Thirdly, today as you know is our off day. Not to be rude or anything but the three of us planned last night to send **** as our representative because we have our own errands to run. Since **** is the leader of the group, he IS suppose to tell you everything about the team. Furthermore, this is not the only meeting we had since our last meeting with you. The only person who never attend the unofficial meeting is ****. So it is not like we hadn't done anything yet. It is just that the meeting timings you and **** set are all according to your free time. I repeat YOUR. If any meeting in the future were to be successfully excecuted, it is best that we meet after school and not in between break out times.

Sometimes, I got to admit that I surprise myself even. Life's a bitch woman, get used to it. Since Thursday you'll be out of office, then Wednesday is my out of office day too. :) I swear after this freaking project is over, I'm gonna cut ties with this blady leader.

On the brighter note, Sentosa last Sunday with err...camp people? Oh yeah, I really mean bright man. Too hot. I got a temporary tattoo on my bod, courtesy of the sun. Thanks big guy! *grumbles* So why am I writing it today? Hmmm...firstly...free...secondly...been nursing the burnt lah...my skin is peeling badly now. Worst burn ever. But hey..taught my jr 2 new things. Cycle in an hour and play pool. Woohoo! Accomplishment lah...can give credit anot? The last real accomplishment is when my team got 3rd in Java challenge ok. And that also we went because of CE points. Lol!

Ok lah...better stop rambling and start FYP...But first! SOme Pics..! :D

2006-05-06T23:56:00.000+08:00

RED ALERT!!

Ghost in the house!
In Rp actually..5 were posessed..ok maybe 3 serious ones and the other 2 were partially. Scary moment to live by when you were in live senario facilitating the whole event. Not exactly the recognition I was hoping for but oh well life is not perfect.

Alrighty, details. Hmmm, being posessed is some scary shit. You can see people shivering in a humid place, screaming your guts out and piercing youself with ur nails. You can even see the most unholyest person in the room kneeling down and pray.

Ahhh...too tired to blog. Haven't had enough sleep for 3 days. I think if you calculate all 3 days of sleeping time, that is roughly how long it takes for me in a normal daily basis. Haha..

Adios

2006-04-22T23:43:00.000+08:00

1 week of third year is gone. So what are my feedbacks?

Red Alert..!

The facs are bitchier..

The standard is higher..

..and the number of beauties with brains are rising..!

that is one of the most sexiest traits of a woman but...

HOWEVER

I think it is still the first week, everyone's still new..

the brainy ones are the first to emerge out of the crowd as being the ones to look out for.

What else is new?

Ah yes, found out that the nearest accessible mosque from RP campus is at sembawang.

Yeap, sembawang. It is exactly 24 bus stops from woodlands interchange.

And yea, before I forget, I'm stuck with the same team mates for at least 16 school days before they change. *bummer*

To be perfectly honest, I’m just raking up this entry as I go.

So my apologies.

Now I'm just staying up just to wait for my sister and opening the door for her...%^&*#$%^&

Adios

2006-04-19T19:10:00.000+08:00

First entry of the month.

Sorry people, been lazy lately.. with school going on..yada yada yada..sigh...canteen sucked donkey dick. Oh yeah..Republic Poly had shifted..to woodlands...some place which used to be a blady forest. One blardy canteen suppose to occupy lets see...at least 5000 students???! Oh heck, who am I kidding, it is not only the canteen that sucked, the classroom leaked when heavy rain poured yesterday. Blardy contractors. They ought to be sued for delaying the project and when they request for the delay, the classrooms leaked! %^&*(

Ahh heck, a couple of weeks ago, some group of JC gamers talk shit about how stupid poly students are when they cannot even qualify for JC. Heh, read the newspapers today smarty pants. Some moron from a top JC commited suicide. Reason? He feels his dick was too small. I rest my case. And if you're gonna argue with me about this dick issue go ahead. So far there are no cases of poly guys commiting suicide over small dicks beside cases of various poly scandals. Oh wells....

Marketing module tmr, lets see how easy this module is. Oh im not being overconfident or something. Just trying to be optimistic. Pessimist will say, "lets see how difficult this module is gonna be". Get the diff? ;)

Sisters are a pain in the ass laahhh...

They yak all day....

...and never listens...

Eh?? Correction...WOMEN yaks all day and NEVER listens...Don't get me wrong, god's creation of woman is fantastic and all but one mistake he made was putting these characteristics in them.

Went out to day 'supposedly' to get small sis a simple mp3, being a female that she is, she looked out for the best. An Ipod 1 gb all those crap... mom said too expensive and she put on a crappy face all the way home. Initially putting a 2hr parking coupon, ended up spending only half an hour.

*idiot*

That shiro model mp3 the salegirl introduced as an alternative for that ipod was so slick.

512mb with radio funtion, voice recorder and cool lighting was I think a good bargain.

Worth only $130, I would so get it.

My Mp3 cost $139 and it is only 256mb...

Wth lah...should have just grabed the offer...

why in the world buying a good brand important?

After all IT IS just a brand.

Sometimes, it is not about the brand.

Sometimes how friends percieve you, FORCE you to get it...

For me, I'll just say kiss my ass and ask them is it worth the money spent.

Well, its true..some bought a t-shirt with a picture of a monkey costing them $300+

Just a monkey....and trust me...it is not how the the monkey look that makes them buy it...

it's the brand...*no brand names mentioned*

Ahhh...tired of writing this kinda post....

if I'm not wrong...

I wrote once....

Oh wells...

Suck on the brands...

...you brand suckers...

heh.. :P

2006-03-15T20:40:00.000+08:00

Read about this article in the newspaper today featuring some kid thanking Singapore for sposoring for her education stuff or something. I think it's bull crap...

The only thing Singapore ever did was to increase tax. That ends with a HUGE fullstop. That is all. Tax. Road tax, house tax, GST. Even school fees increased.

So this is the whole situation now...

They made it compulsory to enter primary school(soon secondary), INCREASE fees admision to tertiary institutes, made it EVEN more competitive with foreign talents but they forgot one thing....WHERE IS THE INCREASE IN PAY?!

So when there is such an article saying 'thank you singapore', many became pissed; including me. Because ALL those donations are actually OUR hard earned money, feeling sympathetic, we donate. Singapore has no part in this donation.

And to add to the misery, where do all this taxes go to? Gambling dens, casino? Add more ERP? Create more factories? There is no surprises that all this WILL generate more income for Singapore back again.

You know what is the sad part about the truth? It is uncovering it....

Like what Jack Black says in School of Rock, "...the man always wins..." The man refering to the person in charge of everything.

When the man wins, the North and South poles melts. Speaking of melting, read up to the news today and you'll find out that the speed of the ice blocks melting rate has doubled. That is some serious shit. The scientist said that when the rate goes beyond 500 rrm or something the sea level will rise 7 meters. Currently it is around 338 if I'm not wrong.

All this why?

The 'man' decides everything...

2006-03-13T22:30:00.000+08:00

*Something to keep in mind for future reference*

Boys DO NOT belong in bakery shops.

...no I'm not talking about as in teenagers or primary school boys...I'm talking about small boys..those 3-6 years..
There is a generalisation saying boys play with cars and girls play with dolls...at first I dont agree with this crap..but seriously when you try to change nature, you'll always end up on the losing side.

For example...when you ask a 3-6 year old boy to choose what kind of bread he wants to eat, FROM RECENT EXPERIENCE he would run around the bakery, shouting "..mummy, mummy!.." and contaminating the bread with his god knows what he had touched hands and adding to the misery, causing customers like me to give way to his high speed bread chase in order not to drop the bread you've picked. Phew..that is by far the longest sentence I've ever typed...

No offence to the family but hey, even his 8 year old sister sits quietly outside the bakery patiently waiting for her family to get out of the jammed packed place. You might be asking how do I know that was his sister right?

Ooo, spending half an hour in the bakery can force you to know people you dont wanna know...you wanna know how many kids they have? Say around 5. Im guessing that the first is a boy around 10 years? (coz he's queing in front of me with nothing to pay for) Second a girl and the rest are small male devils. :)

I could have sworn that slapping the boy's forehead did cross my mind after 10 minutes of hell in the bakery...

Heh...anyways...just came back from mersing..had a 2 days 1 night hols there with my dad and the rest of my dad's side relatives. It is cool that we have the whole luxury bus all to ourselves. It is like going on a hike with your relatives in a trailer. Havoc. Those who can't sing, will try their darn best to sing their hearts out for say 2-3 hours? Pure torture sitting for that long. I can't even sit still for 30 minutes. What more to mersing, that by the way is further than desaru. All along I thought it was nearer than desaru...heh... :P

Ouh...and the bakery shit...happens on the second day when we visited the newly opened Jusco. It was big...very...maybe twice of IMM. Quality is there...shops everywhere, but the sad part is, we only have an hour and 30 minutes to spend there... I'm not much of a shopper but after you sit in a bus for an hour and a half and given a shopping place of 4 storey high, you at least expect to have 3 hours but noooo....the tour guide said he's rushing for another job at night...jackass...

Here's a picture of us...

hola cousin...cought ya red handed trying to steal a bite from your 'diet' heheh..

Adios...!

Was told to argue about the fact that the one you love should be called a best friend not a lover. Do you agree? Some yes, some no. Me? I'm more to the no section of the crowd.

All I can say is that, someone whom I know quite well did before tell me about this kinda things which makes me thinking, IF you know that someone soo well till his\her info is at the tip of your fingers, what else so you wanna know? Seriously, when you first start a relationship, you'll share secrets, promise each other the world and stuff and after that? Here are roughly the processes one has to verbally go through....

Early Relationship

1) Ask about personal info, birthday, msn, etc..
2) Phone number (if lucky)
3) Home add (he\she is interested in you)

Mid Relationship

1) Ask for a date
2) A more detailed Information about one's self

Late Relationship

1) Ask how's your day
2) What you eat for lunch
3) Where you wanna go later

Get where I'm going here? See the contrast? Early relationship is more to the initiation but later on it is more to err...close ended Qn kinda thing....aiyar...you get what I mean right?

Back to the question, why your lover cannot be clasified as your best friend. If you already have a best friend before you meet your lover, where he\she stand AFTER you meet your lover? A best friend according to my above chart doesn't even fall to any three categories. Infact, it is a mixture of all three if you ask me.

5 reasons why your lover CANNOT be clasified as a best friend....

5) Before you meet your lover, you already have a best friend, so how can a newly found friend be the best?
4) You can share EVERYTHING under the sun with your best friend. (oh come on, like you tell every single juicy thing to your lover?)
3) Please...sometimes when you call your lover a 'friend', he\she might get the wrong idea about the relationship.
2) You can still whack your best friend if he did something wrong. You can't to your lover. (unless you're a girl) :D

and last but not least.....

1) (for guys) you can't comment on any other girl on the street with your lover. :)

Logic? I think so too..hee... Oh well, second thoughts about your lover = best friend theory?

Out~!

2006-02-26T22:53:00.000+08:00

How many of the guys you know out there are unable to start a relationship having their inability to pull themselves together to express their feelings towards the opposite sex? 1? 2? Many? My guess? Many. Why? Simply because they are shy. When it comes to the matter of the heart, there are no fix formula to follow, no equations to solve or answers to unveil. That is why starting a relationship is so god damn hard.

So why do you wanna start in the first place?

Is it because all your friends are having this...thing? You need someone to whine your problems to? Or is it the power you feel when you get someone to like you?

Of course I'm not talking about myself here, I'm talking about my fellow men who are single and still trying. *2 thumbs up for effort*

For me? I plan to live life as a bachelor till the right one comes along. Seriously speaking, you don't need one...yet. I just don't understand why people like to commit themselves in such an early stage of their lives when they can enjoy your youth? Oh well, I'm sure they have their reasons..lonely? shoulder to cry on? bla bla? heh.. :)

Over at the ladies side? I have no say. Never been to that side of life before. :) BUT I am pretty sure it is somewhat the same. Right? *Ladies help me here!*

So where am I going from here? Honestly, I don't know :) I've been to places these past few days, reading some blogs, newspapers, evesdropping at some people's conversations(accidentally of course) and the common topic they had going on was relationships. And surprisingly enough, most of these people are alot younger than I am. There are some who long so much to find someone dear to come into their lives and some..just wished that they don't have that someone to add more pressure into theirs.

Yes, that happens folks. Don't for one second you think your "argue-less" relationship is like the perfect hollywood couple kinda thing coz THAT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN. haha..you can never be too sure if your partner is complaining about you. :) SO don't always keep your hope up too high aye?

That's about it. OUT! :)

2006-02-24T15:23:00.000+08:00

Ego..! Everyone knows what ego is and not surprisingly it is ALWAYS associated with the male species. * I wonder why? Hmmm* For those who disagrees let me give ya a dose of reality...

Ego means...

1) The self, especially as distinct from the world and other selves.
2) In psychoanalysis, the division of the psyche that is conscious, most immediately controls thought and behavior, and is most in touch with external reality.
- An exaggerated sense of self-importance; conceit.
- Appropriate pride in oneself; self-esteem.

Special thanks to Dictionary.com :)

For those who can see, nowhere in there says anything about being associated with the male species, WHICH means females are also considered as to having ego problems.

For example!

I'm sure we all heard about the home made vid that was circulating right as we speak. What is behind the story IS the facinating part. To cut the long story short, a girl is jealous of another girl for being famous and stole her mobile phone as part of the initial revenge but luckily for her she found more than what she expected, a home sex vid... the rest was yad yada yada..she uploaded on the net...bla bla bla...and the victim is now famous nation wide.

So what do we learn from here? Nooo...its not using video camera to record home made vid BUT the female species CAN and IS just as egoistic as the male species itself. Except that they will resort to anything to satisfy themself. Even exposing others private lifes. I mean wth? Jealous of people's success? Get a life lah...your pride is so huge, you just have to resort to psycological damage to get even. Female ego.

Here's a quote to live by in cases such as this, dont hate her just because she goes well with others, hate her because she goes well with YOUR friends. People can't help if they are popular. IT is either you change your lifestyle to somewhat like hers to have what she has OR snap out of jealousy and focus on your life. Heh... face reality man...

Sympaties for the victim and her family...

A thought to ponder about...*Boyfriends are NOT pets* Interesting conversations I heard this morning... it was between 3 girls..hmm...

A: hey my bf cute anot?
B: cute le..how abt this?
A: mine cuter
C: mine better lor...

okok, something like that...maybe not 100% same but its there lah...

PLEASE for the love of god! Having a relationship is a PRIVILEGE not a right. Some singles are longing for a companion but those who have one treat their partner like dogs?

Usually I heard dog owners saying the same thing...oooh your dog has the cutest tail...bla bla bla...or or shopping?
"...oooohh the top is soo cute..!" - I rest my case - :)

Never have I heard people comparing whose boyfriend is cuter. Imagine if a guy talks about that...hmmm...I bet the one with the cutest whatever will feel even more protective towards his girl.

In conjunction with valentine's day, I decided to bring up this issue today as it all started with v-day itself. Confessions of a girl towards the gifts she receives on the day..."...the gifts are sweet but I would rather spend the money on shopping..." Interesting don't you think? So guys, next v-day...just go shopping with her and get the things SHE wants. ;)

2006-02-14T23:59:00.000+08:00

'V' day today...the day in which millions of guys all over the world go broke overnight. Ooh it's not that they get themselves drunk after a date no no... It is because of the expensive gifts and all those sleepless nights just THINKING of what to do on the day.

There was a heated discussion among the single guys and gals in class today when I say this (fact). A girl mention it is not the expensive gifts that matters really but the thought. Hmmm...but being a guy of course I rebuked the reason and said that there are always 2 situations in which a guy never wins in that scenario...

First scene, a guy buys maybe just flowers, might not be too expensive but it IS the thought that counts. While walking down Orchard road maybe he saw a couple loaded with gifts.

Thought number 1: I'm cheap, is this all I can offer?
Thought number 2: This is too embarrassing, I'm sure my date will hate me for life.

And we all know the ending...

Second scene, a guy buys the most expensive gift his money can buy. Bring her to a romantic place for dinner maybe a movie for her and then home.

Thought number 1: This date better be worth the money, will she still like me after all this?
Thought number 2: Oh good, she seems to be enjoying the day. Is it me? What is she thinking behind that smile??

doubts, doubts and even more doubts...

But of course the single ladies don't believe me when I say this...ohh wth...I spoke my mind.. :)

Something interesting happen today in class though. This guy whom I don't quite like because of his slack work attitude and some other unimportant stuff, spent ALOT and I mean ALOT of money on a approximately 30 by 30 cm bear and bouquet of flowers on a classmate of mine. I was taken aback by that..I mean the class knew who he likes in class but never knew he has the hots for a big fish. One thing I like about this guy is that he has balls...when it comes to this kind of thing, he has the balls. Other than that..hmmm...*shrugs*

But all that gifts I think ain't gonna make it to any stage besides the friends stage. No offence man but unless you change that err...oh heck..Im in no position to judge what woman really want in a guy. The matter of the heart is a more complicated thing as compared to math.

But one thing remains a fact...showing your love to your significant other is not a yearly event, it is an everyday event...v-day is just an excused for florists striking rich overnight, which makes guys going broke at the same time.. :)

2006-02-09T19:57:00.000+08:00

Alrighty, if there's one thing you wish to forget, what would it be? For me, it would be not to watch Tab Tv yesterday. Especially the last part where this dude has the craving of being eaten. And guess what comes off first...his genitals.
And this other caucasion dude was the 'butcher'. He cut off this other dude's genitals and fry it..I think..yeap.. and after that he had his final meal with the 'butcher' before the entire process of being eaten crap.

This thought of cutting off his genitals thing has been in my mind since the show lah dammit...how can he be so cool about it? Doesn't it hurt? I thought guys die straight away after their family jewel is cut off?? Unless...I was fooled or this fella can really tahan man..haha.. eeks..

I think that is by far the only PG rated show that is disgusting and not to forget 'memorable'. It should be M-18 or NC-16 lah...PG only...that was some freeky shit.....really...

Oh yah...ehh...stop using my blog song for your class party ok...I may be sued if the owner finds out you ain't paying him for your entertainment..! :)

2006-02-06T21:59:00.000+08:00

Okok, change of car. *correction* it is Mitsubishi Lancer 1.5 GLX and not Hyundai Matrix. My mom was introduced to a much better offer at the very last minute. Not as high as the Matrix of course. More to sport car kinda thing. More for ME! Muahahaha...no worries..soon I'll be cruising on Singapore roads! WooHoo!! I was also introduced to a good private car instructor. I heard it is a one time payment abt 1.5K BUT he will teach you till you pass. Anyone keen?

How good is it to meet new people? :)

Heheh...no need to worry abt BBDC or what ever huge amt you have to pay. Oh did I mention the 1.5k includes the theory as well? :D

Life is good lah...passed one module liao..3 more to go and a warning to overturn. Gotta be quick... =D

Adios..!

2006-02-03T22:26:00.000+08:00

Its February!

Nothing much but in about a month time.....END OF YEAR 2!!

that is if i managed to pass...

That irritating S.O.B still have not given me a reply for my defence. Up till this week to reply..if not...
time to bug Alwis..heheh..Oh Alwis is the head of something something lah...not sure what...but am sure abt him having a bigger role in the school as compared to the..err...s.o.b... :P

Till next week...!

Adios..!

2006-01-30T22:00:00.000+08:00

Woohoo!! CNY!! Abit too late actually but heck...enjoying my 5 days hols...2 days left to 2 days of school then can u believe it?? 1 more month to year 2 graduation!

But first...one personal mission...

To overturn a warning letter...dammit...

Remember the time I said I was accused of cheating in a test? No? haha..heck..I don't remember either. :)
Anyways..RP sent a warning letter stating that I'll receive a "F" for the test..IN ADDITION the total module grade will be deducted by 1.0. At first when they say they'll give me a "F", I was ok with it..but the second penalty was UNNECESSARY. Too harsh I think...so I consulted a close fac of mine over my options and decided to overturn my warning letter. :)

Will play lawyer for the day and defend myself. It's ass whooping time with the big boys.

Wish me luck ppl. :)

Adios..!

2006-01-28T00:00:00.000+08:00

OK, on special request by Yik Ling...One size bigger than usual! :D

First of all, Happy 20th B'day to Celeste and Valerie. For those who do not know them, in short, they are my OM (operation manager's(something like discipline master)) TWINS daughter back in secondary school days. :) How do I know them? I don't...Celeste happened to recognise me from past performance. *amazing* To be absolutely honest, I can't even remember those female musicians me and my friend Noticed in concerts.

* 2 thumbs up for execellent memory *

Anyways, celebrated with her buddies at aloha changi. Do you know there are 2 alohas in the east side? No? Now you do. That was the same thing I thought in the first place. But nooo... there are TWO. One is aloha costa sand or something and the other is aloha changi.

SO, obviously, as a west side person, my plan was to take train to pasir ris then take 354 to down town east and take cab there...BUT my friend was so confident, it is only a 5 - 10 minutes walk. So we walk.....we walked for 30 minutes or so...when we reach....it was the wrong aloha...#$%^&$%^&

SO we walked back cursing and swearing like nobody's business. It was 7...the place there was bloody quiet...except for the 2 idiots cursing at each other :) Luckilly a cab drove by (saviour) and without a doubt...we are on our way to aloha CHANGI...

Lesson Learnt...always follow your gut...That's all...

Oh well...the party was good...good people...good company...now bloody tired....

Sayounara..and happy CNY people..

2006-01-22T22:16:00.000+08:00

WooHoo!! New car this week! Hyundai Matrix! Ok may not be such a big thing to u guys but it is a big deal to my family at least. More space at the back..you have no IDEA how crampy the back seat of a hyundai accent is...

watch...

SEE!! That is DAMN crampy ain't it?
Hmmm...nothing else to yack..
ooohhh...batal of the titans tonight!

Manchester United vs Liverpool

May the best team win

2006-01-18T00:00:00.000+08:00

OK Imagine this, you were going home. You waited for the bus, and when it finally comes, people come barging in to get the seats..true? Nothing amazing really..it is just typical singaporeans behaviour..KIASU. Ok, that is not the interesting part of the story...the most facinating part of all this IS...there is a new trend in town. And that is when they want to 'alight'.

So when I reached my destination, feeling all tired and stuff i decided to give way to ppl who are leaving first before a make a move..so when i see the last person walking past me, i stood up and make my way to the exits. Then suddenly this old man stood up, i gave way to him, he said thanks and proceed to the exits too. AT the door, he suddenly stopped, so i thought being an old guy, MAYBE he had a hard time walking down the steps. SO with limp bizkit song basting at my eardrums, i cannot hear what's going on ard me. SO when the door started to close, I quickly press the bell and ask the old man to quickly go down. The old man, just stood there. So in my mind I was like cursing and swearing at him for not moving. I managed to squeeze thru 2 old foggies to alight. Dammit, being my size and all, it doesnt stood well with them for me barging thru. When i finally got down, they gave me a hard look and within seconds, they are out of sight.

Heh, idiots...what is that all about man?? Getting off your 'front-door' seats to book your place to alight the next stop? Does that make sense? That is super kiasu man. Worried that they cannot leave the damn bus. FOr crying out loud, you are sitting IN FRONT OF THE DOOR! What are the chances that you cannot leave the bus?

*sigh* Im off...UT tmr..killer module...IT security...i swear if they test me on decoding secrets messages again, a law suit is gonna come flying before they know what hit them...

Sayounara...!

2006-01-16T01:10:00.000+08:00

So what is the most disgusting thing you've ever seen after an absolutely 'clean' day...*clue* Donation Box...A Big Fat Donation Box...PLEASE for crying out loud if you're not gonna wear anything underneath, WEAR A LONGER SHIRT!! Now THAT ladies and gentleman is a sight for sore eyes...literally...
Hectic week last week...things you have to do to seek opportunities..running around catching last trains and buses..geez..and the thing is I have not visited RP's new campus yet...
Learnt something new from my friend today, Motorola Razr V3 is similar to a bimbo. Why? It looks good but there's nothing inside. Ok nothing is too much, 'some'. Have got to agree with her though, the phone look slick and stuff but the functions are nothing amazing. Can't believe it costs 1000 over bucks a year ago. The smart move is buy it now coz it's like 200++ everywhere..The most disappointing thing when I use this phone is, it's not that it doesn't perform but when I was waiting for the bus a few days ago, saw this bangla guys using the same phone...grrr...no offence man...ahh heck... use if you want to.. :)

5 Days holidays...

Now...

Long day huh? Oh yeah, managed to squeeze some time to browse around some blogs to get some inspiration abt today's entry..So found this cool stuff..

You Have a Choleric Temperament

You are a person of great enthusiasm - easily excited by many things.
Unsatisfied by the ordinary, you are reaching for an epic, extraordinary life.
You want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation.

You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon.
Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall.
You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others.

At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and even proud of your faults.
Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion.
A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior.

What Temperment Are You?

Good Day everyone... :)

2005-12-31T22:00:00.000+08:00

Okok, it's finally here folks! New Year....EVE...heheh...aiyah..few more hours to go. It is said that the earth had slowed down. By just a Second. Ok, it is not much but imagine a few more years? Imagine the changes...61 seconds? 3660 seconds makes an hour instead of 3600? It may soon be 25 hours a day, of course provided the End of time isn't around the corner.

Hmmm, here are 3 things I hope things will change in 2006:
1) Luck
2) My Grandmother stops talking to the tv
3) ME :)

Why just 3? Initially I was thinking abt 10 but can only reach up to 3..hahah..so heck :)
So yeah, with that, I'll leave ya a Quote to remember by....

"Every morning is a fresh beginning. Every day is the world made new. Today is a new day. Today is my world made new. I have lived all my life up to this moment, to come to this day. This moment--this day--is as good as any moment in all eternity. I shall make of this day--each moment of this day--a heaven on earth. This is my day of opportunity." Dan Custer

.....of course it only applies only after the stroke of midnight. :)

2005-12-29T21:25:00.000+08:00

2 more days to new year. Soo not looking forward to it. There are basically a million reasons why I'm not looking forward to it, but just the main ones,

Firstly: Obviously you'll get older ==> ns will be just around the corner
Second: Holidays are OVER ==> School reopens *grumbles*
Third: Deadlines ==> project

*sigh* here we go again...scraping thru the year all over again. 2005 i thot was very fast. Too fast. Just had that feeling that time passes by way too fast in 2005. One minute I was celebrating 050505, the next minute it is already december. Holy cow...

heh...nothing to report...just loving the hols right now...wee! lol... :)

2005-12-25T21:41:00.000+08:00

Alrighty alrighty, first and foremost...Merry Christmas to everyone and of course Merry New Year..lol...
Although today's festive season is not for me but I have to admit that Christmas is the holiday to look out for every year. It is like that's where all the party 'emerges'. And and, it is the only festival that happens on the same date and month. Enough said, you get what I'm trying to say...

Even though, today's the 'main' event, nothing beats what happend tomorrow, last year. Tsunami. So yeah, the year is not over till the fat lady sings? Let's just hope that nothing bad happens tomorrow...

Learnt a new quote today, "People who are brave may not last forever but people who are cautious don't last at all." Somewhat true, life is about risking it. Ok I don't mean going bungi Jumping without a rope or skydiving without a parachute but doing something new. Yeah, just something new, that is what it means. People who are willing to try something new are probably the bravest people on earth. It's like would we have fire if the first of people doesn't try? Could we even fly if the Wright Brothers doensn't dream?

Ok, I'm going nowhere with the para above, so skip it...hee. Just felt the quote is a life quote and it is necessary...yah..soooo....okieee...
Fall upon this nice poem, why didn't I like find it sooner? Embarassing myself own poems...blahh...enjoy..

A warm sensation fills my body

My heart races with every touch

The softness of your voice soothes

My soul

As I lay there hoping the moment

Will never end

Calling out for you

Praying that you'll never let me go

The sensation so strong

I can no longer feel my body

Slowly I fade in and out of reality

In an instant the warm sensation

Fades away

My heart empty

My soul torn apart

Lying there;

wondering where I went

Wrong

Calling out for you, only to find there is no answer

My mind invaded with thoughts

So cruel and unrefined

The sensation of fear of what's to come

Slowly the reality over powering

The lust and fantasy

Leaving me empty

Confused on how to think or feel

The loneliness I feel

So wretched and compelled

Betrayal to myself

Revealing the terrors of my love

2005-12-19T22:25:00.000+08:00

Okok, no more mushy stuff and let's face facts. SHE'S GONE.

Alrighty, funny stuff today, bought a new pair of pants...
before the paying stuff was the trying right?
So now here's the deal, everyone's has heard of waist size right?
We ALL try out pants depending on the waist size, but today at JP, in one of the stores in which I'll not mention,
depended on the thigh size...
YES you heard it right..THIGH...
I mean WTH?!
They have the various waist sizes,
BUT,
ALL the pants, ok that's a bit exagerating, most pants has the same thigh size in which I can't fit into...

"....$%^&%^&*..."

the aunty has the audacity to say I have a big thigh *grumbles*
but of course being in front of my mum and all, I just laugh it off and said,
"...yah, but the strange thing is the pants im wearing now was bought in your shop and to add to it there're still lot's of SPACE..hmmm...is it the fashion now having small thighs?"
and being a great sales woman that she is, she sided with me against this 'small thigh size' they had going on and gladfully promoted another set of pants altogether :) (good move)

Overall, the pants that she promote costs me abt 50 bucks, quite cheap if you ask me based on the design and all. :)

2005-12-09T22:20:00.000+08:00

There was a lady sweet and kind

Whose face is embedded in my mind;

I did see her passing by,

And yet I left her walk on by.

Her gesture, motion, and her smiles,

Her wit, her voice, my heart desires,

Desire my heart, I don't know why,

And yet I left her walk on by.

Her free behaviour, winning looks,

Will make a salesman look duped ;

I touch'd her not, alas! not I,

And yet I left her walk on by.

2005-12-08T11:25:00.000+08:00

I thought love was

Only true in fairy tales

Meant for someone else

But not for me

Love was out to get to me

That's the way it seems

Disappointment haunted

All my dreams

And then I saw her face

Now I'm a believer

Not a trace

Of doubt in my mind

I'm in love

I'm a believer

I couldn't leave her

If I tried

2005-12-04T22:17:00.000+08:00

your smile lights up the bad weather,

your laughter brought up the atmosphere,

looking at you from a distance,

makes me wanting to know more about you;

getting all of my attention,

I'm facinated by your everlasting charm every single moment.

somehow it drew me closer and closer to you,

I swallowed my pride and stepped to your side,

and to my delight,

you smiled

it was the most unforgetable smile i've seen all year.

standing there just admiring your smile,

brought one fatal error,

the wonderful moment ended when someone called you away.

without even saying "hi",

you left,

leaving me staring at your enchanted beauty...

we traded secret smiles everytime we crossed each other's path,

not wanting the folks to know,

we did nothing more than an act of friendliness;

SMILE

Alrighty folks, an attempt at poetry. Hope it makes sense though. It is about an experience...in a holiday trip...recently..

2005-12-01T18:46:00.000+08:00

WooHoo!!! It's DECEMBER!!!! Last day of school!!!

I'm Just glad it's December already..heheh...hope the string of bad luck has gone away for good. =)

2005-11-27T23:19:00.000+08:00

Back from a long depressing week. It just keeps adding. Loads of shits..yeap..loads of em'..and today...a friend of mine lost his shoe. To be more precise, a nike shoe that costs him $279. Well, it doesn't cost him directly coz it was his b'day present so yeah. So how does all this related to me? Hmmm, lets just say the shoe was stolen when my friends and I were 'raya-ing'. We were all in the house when the "mis-fortune" happened. Blardy footware bandits. I feel for you man. Even though I lose only my 2.50 slippers..hee...shit happens..

Ooh yeah, last week of school this year tmr. Lets see, to clear half of my leave or not? Feel soo tempted. Tuesday and Thursday is a must, so that makes monday and friday....and after that...OFF to desaru!! Woohoo! Holidays! Coming from a "busy" family...we take our chances on any sort of holiday we can find. =)

Adios..!
