One More Time

Well, it's not for publicity. It's not a sham. And it's not planned. But I felt a need to come out from my retirement. Like some sort of moral obligation. Maybe there is still some few good years left of me before I really retire.

For now, let me sort out my mind due to the ineffective week I had last week. Want to study but not productive. Want to exercise but but lack the will power. Want to go out and play but still guilt stricken. Oh what the hell... so what's next for me? Don't know... still thinking.

Let me go and looked for inspiration before I came back and entertain you guys. Maybe going to Cambodia for some heritage walk. Jinx... interested?

feeling out of touch

feeling out of touch becos pple seem to talk past one another rather than to one another these days

do friends have duties?
a duty to care?
or at least a duty to bloody pretend to care right

That Barber kills

I had been to 2 softball bbq b4 and each is worse than it precedence. Going to the 3rd one this time hope tt is wont get any worse.
anyway to triple j story i think the mindset of having a 'temporary retreat' when u noe there will be someone or u when u need them and yet doesnt need too much committment is very incorrect.
sometimes to get that suppoert one have to sacrifice even much more and underwent pain (wat an irony) , even keeping a pet need some level of committment.
Realtionship make one grows up i believe it may be true after all.

Thought of the Day

What can you do when uncle Yong Pung How aka la Chief Justice decides that he (does not like your face and) wants to sue you? (for defamation, what else too?)

see Straits Times front page

Nothing much, apparently. All the poor guy (whose ass got sued) could say when interviewed was "I better shut my mouth. I don't want to have free food and lodging."

Triple J: story of jolin, jay and jinx

couldn't help but feel that the jolin tsai and jay chou saga parallels my little 'hiccup' in love.

and of course, i would naturally sympathise with jolin. was there a tear in jolin's eyes during news conference? speculation or keen observation?

so how do i see this whole thing?

jolin thought she was in love. she was busy, so was jay. she thought he would be there for her. maybe she wasn't too receptive towards jay but then she was pretty satisfied with what's gg on between the both of them.

she wasn't making things happen...but she didn't stop things from happening anyway. when she is upset or tired, it gives her a bit of consolation to think that there is someone for her, maybe thinking of her when he's tired or upset too. although she never confirmed his feelings, but she felt it in his body language and gesture. she thought that his awkwardness when she was around was a kind of a quiet affirmation of their feelings towards each other. she thought he was too shy to look at her in her eyes. she thought he didn't want too much media attention because it might strain their budding romance.

in short, she was happy with the arrangement. it gives her strength when she needed it and didn't require too much committment and expectations on her part. I bet she thinks 'it will blossom but not now, cos i have to concentrate on my work'

But alas, she is so wrong. her dream comes to an end. suddenly, her source of strength becomes a deep cut in her heart. and there she was bleeding. but she didn't want to appear weak. she had overcame her early career crisis. she believes she is stronger, or rather, she wants pple to believe she is strong. She puts up a brave front. She denies that there has been anything between them. As she said that, she probably start to convince herself that it true; there really isn't anything between them.

Now it all makes sense, she told herself. he was awkward cos he was being mistaken. he didn't look at her in her eyes because he didn't want her to get the wrong impression.

She didn't want to think jay has betrayed her because, really, on hindsight, she really believes that it's was all just wishful thinking on her part. only by thinking that way, can she reconcile with the harsh reality. only then can she have a hopefully clean closure to this unhappy episode. maybe you can say that she dun have too much of a choice. to make a big fuss over it will only make pple think that she's immature and unstable, justifying jay's change of heart.

so maybe she asked herself, what was jay really thinking? but then she decides that it was pointless to think about it now. it's more important to get on with life. it's time to 'wake up' from the sweet dream turned nightmare. whether or jay had anything for her doesn't mean a damn thing anymore because, he is happily attached now and nothing will change that.

maybe she wasn't crying, the journalists were too sensitive. but i'm sure she was bleeding in her heart. and that bleedingl; journalists cannot see or take pictures. That, you can only see when your heart is bleeding too. i know, trust me.

i hope she triumphs over this. i leave you with her song. it's kinda sad but it's life.

你还爱我吗
夜里传来雨的声音 轻轻拨动心的旋律
情不自禁想到你 那些甜蜜的回忆
总是不小心就淋湿了我的眼睛
爱情需要一些呼吸 偶尔保持一点距离
回到朋友的关系 任你自由的来去
从此想念你只能放在我心里
你还爱我吗 一直好想问你这句话
却又怕 听到你真实的回答
你还爱我吗 为何你总是不说话
眼看我为爱不爱挣扎
你爱我吗 好久没有你的消息
心里还惦记着你
在这冷冷的夜里 感觉那么的熟悉
好想再见你想听听你的声音
敢情的路总让人好无助 我会学着面对独处
给深爱的你祝福
你还爱我吗 一直好想问你这句话却又怕
听到你真实的回答
你还爱我吗 这是我唯一的牵挂
不管你会有什么回答我会一直等你
你还爱我吗

C'mon

C'mon guys lets Blog N Rock all the way

Big Brother is watchin

Read about the tunnel account by Roy Keane. My admiration for this guy grows once more. How many players nowaday still think about their teammate beside their payroll , somemore to stand up for them against such a 'giant'- Vieira.
Anyway i am very, i repeated very happy to see Chelsea lose finally to a very determined side. I think Mr Mourinho's head is getting a bit too big for my liking. His recent comments are nothing but full of arrogance. I cant deny his managerial and technical superiority and i was really impressed by his confident when he just took over. Note confidence not arrogance. I guess that is wat happened when one get too many things his way, tends to live in his own dreamland and forget about the things happening around him. And things are certainly getting more interesting to see how will he react to his injuries problems esp during the most crucial period i would say for Chelsea this season. I would certainly like to see them end up with nothing!

Recently just caught a mtv of Yanzi on tv. She really have a kind of X factor a big X. She doesnt looks chio for cetain but you just dun get bored by looking at her and as a matter of fact you do want to look at her. Could it be her large smile or her twinking eyes or just simply her innocent character that is so attracting. I guess it is her innocence and her n0n-fakeness character. How to find someone like her still in this society where nobody no longer dun wear a mask everyday.
therefore i support Yanzi all the way n hope to meet someone like her someday in my life. i am still waiting..

told you so

I told people I love you
but I haven't told you.
perhaps, I kind of like you
perhaps, it's less than that

maybe you weren't sure,
but everything else was clear
maybe you couldn't wait
but everything else was there.

consolation,
he says we are not compatible.
he says you two are not compatible
and all hope is not lost

evaluation,
he whispers that I was beaten
or, will be beaten
there isn't any hope at all

the winner wasn't announced,
the loser wasn't informed.
all was known through the soothsayer
before the day of love.

maybe I've lost
or have I ever been in the contest?
so the little things between us,
I have divided them.

hope you have tasted sweet love
'cause I've received my parcel of sorrow.
I'm throwing it out of the window
hopefully by tomorrow

REUTERS- POPULAR WEBLOG "THE GOOD LIFE" IN LIMBO

After the terse announcement at the kududes Yahoo Groups Message Board by the leading contributor of the world famous weblog "The Good Life" at http://the-good-life.blogspot.com, known enigmatically as darren, that he would no longer be contributing to the blog 'due to various commitments and some problems', the weblog's email thegoodlife@gmail.com was inundated with a mix of concerned and outraged fans calling for a more detailed explanation from darren.

"The Good Life" has been mandatory daily reading material for fans all over the world. Over 5,000 fans claimed that they had set the weblog as their homepage in their Internet browsers, which is testimony to the committed and loyal fan base that "The Good Life" enjoys. The termination of "The Good Life" will be a great loss to the blogging world which now has to make do with less viable, middle-of-the-road fare like xiaxue.blogspot.com and mrbrown.com. One fan, on grounds of anonymity, even confided that the weblog had 'kept him going during the bleakest of times, and that life would definitely be worse for him now that his primary source of inspiration and entertainment had ceased'. Another avid follower more level-headedly opined that darren's actions could be a mere gimmick to trigger greater interest in the weblog, whose readership was said to be plateauing according to a recent survey by AC Neilsen. Such gimmicks are not uncommon and were often resorted to by the radio jockeys of Class 95FM's Morning Express Show, where the jockeys issued bogus announcements that their show would be axed in a bid to boost listenership.

darren is known for his series of inimitably honest,intimate views and witty snapshots of today's society seen from the eyes of an undergraduate who tries to make the best of the bad things around him, striving to live 'the good life'. He was also known for a new genre of weblog authorship now termed as 'fantasy blogging', where he would mix fantasy and reality in an almost indiscernible mixture which captured the imaginations of thousands all over the world. Some outstanding entries by darren which will remain memorable to most fans include "2046", the "Sex in the Lion City" series, the "Tom, Dick and Harry dialogues", the "Lee Wee Nam Library monologues" and the assorted entries on the nature of what he endearingly termed as 'hot babes'. Perhaps some of the 'problems' darren has mysteriously alluded to can be gleaned from his last, admittedly very cryptic entry perhaps filled with symbolism and neo-aesthetic literary frivolity titled "Chocalate Cookies" which he leaves thousands of unsatisfied fans with as his final word, where he expressed disappointment with a family member.

Chocolate Cookies

I saw my sister making chocolate cookies this afternoon. But she made a hell of a miss in the kitchen and got scolded by mother. I asked her why she wanted to make the cookies as she can buy them in bulk and even better quality outside. she said it will be more fun making the cookies herself. I asked who she made the cookies for. She said her boyfriend. Then I followed up by asking why she didn't make some for the family. She replied that we can buy the cookies outside ourselves.

.............................?

Another 'Scumbag' From Soccer?

Oh no..... poor little Ronoldo is thinking that his payroll of 15000 pounds per week salary not enough to feed him and his family... so he decided to use Chelsea as a bait to make Man Utd raise his wage to very high high..... good move there.

He is not even 21 years old right? Can he remember who brought him into the big soccer scene to show the world what a talent he is? Can he still regconise who is his current mentor? Think those 'rich basterds' of soccer scene only regconise the only master... Money.

I believe those who went to Chelsea now are 'money grabbers'. I do still believe now. Ok lah.. other than those who are already in the club before Roman came in.... like Lampard, Terry, Culdici (that another poor guy), Gallas, Gudjohsen.. who else? Can't think of anymore. So Ronoldo aka the-next-money-grabber wants to join the Blues...... go lah go lah.. no shame, cry baby oso.

Why can't people be more like veterans like Roy Keane, Giggs, Scholes, even Shearer?

The Poisoned Chalice

The most potent weapon on earth is the man's tongue.

He who can tame the tongue is more powerful than a warrior who had claimed 10 cities in a battle.

The tongue is a poisonous chalice. Handle with care.

Citigems

Watching EPL Hightlights. Maybe MediaCorps is rewarding me for staying loyal to Ch 5. In the 1 hr highlights, there are 3 Citigems commercials.

And I really pride myself in showing great restraint by the 3rd round of the commercial by not....... looking at Fiona Xie's boobs. I wonder did the director of the commercial let it on purpose? I really don't know. That's the advantage of getting hot babes to star in the commercials. Not to say Joanne Peh not good.

But during the commercial, her role got covered up by....... er..... Fiona's aura. Too bad.

Pretty Tarf

"You guys feel good right now? People on this side, if you feel good make some noise! Sounds pretty good.... I want you to us a favour to keep that energy level up for the next song ok? The song is called 'Faint'...."

Argh.... so contradicting... stay energetic but the song is 'Faint'... I'm going to faint liao, but today is only Tuesday.

Fat Busterd said there is a lot of babes in NTU. Do you believe? But how come all of us keep lamenting that there are no 'potential targets'?Are our expectations unrealistic? Or are we only making noises but did not take the concrete steps to search for our 'the other half that can make our hearts leap with joy'? As you know, talk is easy. Very easy......

Let not those 'forlorn' people sunk into depression. It's time to do something about your life. Someone said it's all about attitude. I 100% agree.

Alrighty.... back to my dull hall life. I'm quite fed up with those car owners and bikers who like to park their vehicles close to mine. This afternoon as I'm about to go home, I have to spend 5 minutes trying to maneuvere my vehicle away from a black car. I took pains not to scratch his car, but did the mugger care when he parked his car close to mine? Ok... next time I don't care liao. Who told you to illegal park? Not to mention parking so close to my vehicle. Serve you right if there is a long line on your side door. There was once I knocked down a bike.... so.. yah got first time then there will be second time right? So watch where your ass is parking man....

Not Here Yet

"Ryan! Table 14." Chef Wong placed the steamy hot pepper chicken steak on the counter and quickly walked away, ready to prepare the next dish.

I walked briskly towards the counter and took the dish. Table 14.... where is it? The north section... or the west section?

"Over there, sotong ball," Ruth whispered loudly, pointing to the north section. I gave her a don't-pissed-me-off look and walked away.

"Here you are, enjoy your meal." I smiled to the beaming couple. From the corner of my eyes I saw the young man sitting alone at Table 12. He had been sitting there for an hour already. Rather curious, I approached him.

"Sir, you expecting someone? Would you like to have an order first?" I asked.

"Hah.... no thanks. My partner is not here yet. I will wait first." The gentleman replied in a relax manner.

"Hmmm... why don't you gave her a call?" I said... then immediately regret it. That's other people's private business. You are stepping unto a landmine dude.

"Oh no... I don't know her number. But I'm expecting her today."

"So..... do you know who is she not?" I quickly blurted out.

"Nay.... that's why I'm reserving a seat for anybody. Anybody who will sit down with me tonight and share the night with me." The gentleman replied, then gave me the thumbs up.

I quickly took 3 steps back. What.......

Ruth gave me a nudge behind. "Chef Wong is calling for you. Better hurry." I gave the gentleman a stupid smile and jogged to the counter.

While clearing a table, Ruth came up to help. "Hey he is our regular customer. He came here every year on this day, sitting alone."

"Did he bother to call up a date?" I asked. Ruth gave me the shrug. "He seems to be a nice guy anyway." She chirped.

Oh really? I peeked at the gentleman. Still alone, he was patiently sipping his coffee. Dressed in a black suite and wore a silver tie. His hair was carefully combed back, showing his squarish jawline. He really seems a nice guy to me. Despite the restuarant full of couples due to Valentine's Day, he was acting very normal. The gentleman took another sip of his coffee and looked at me. He smiled.

Without delay, I took the dirty dishes back to the washing bay. Ok ok... I got what you mean. Cleaning my hands, I walked towards Ruth. I'm going to ask her out.

Global Competition

You turned to the left and saw the Chinese guy scribbling away. You turned to the right and saw the vietnamese guy nodding his head at the tutor, in full concentration mode.

This is a typical scene in my tutorial class. I believe it does not happen in my class only. These guys got superhuman memories and abilities. They can thought of things and explanations that an average Singaporean student can't. They come from everywhere. India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Philippines or even some western countries. You name it, you got it.

Sometimes they are arrogant and their characters really pissed me off. Or maybe it's pure jealousy lah.

But they really pushed me to my limits.

Finally

Finally......... the sky decided to let off some water that it had miserly stored for the past few weeks. Yeah.....

"Xia yu le!" my sister shouted from the living room. I went up to the window and view the rain. Ahhh..... refreshing rain. Though a bit small scale, rain is rain.

Then I saw an old man dancing in the rain in the carpark. I blinked again and watched carefully. There was an old man dancing in the rain.

I decided I had enough and went to sleep.

Handyplast On My Head

I'm thinking..... in deep thoughts again.. but somehow I don't really know how to express them.

That's why some people said that silence is gold isn't it? Don't know how to respond? Keep quiet then. Just in case people misinterpret your words. You know how people likes to act smart and tried to read between the lines. A simple and truthful statement may turned to an excuse for something else. That something else is actually something that holds great consequences. There I go again.... spewing rubbish.

As another day goes by, I keep wondering.... how do I manage to live till now? Haha... I'm not taking it seriously lah. Somehow being alone for a long time can have detrimental effects on one's health.

Anyway anyway, the picture in the previous entry is....... real. That's me. Erm.... got a slight cut on my head as I fell down from the stairs this morning.

Me In Deep Thoughts

Hmmm.... I'm wondering can I survive this hell week of Feb. So much deadlines to meet. Argh... the thought of thinking them gives me a headache man... haizz....

Ring The Bell! Take Your Arms!

Buzz off Glazer! Manchester United don't need you! Shoo shoo!!!

We don't want another Chelsea. We don't want another Leeds.

Why can't sports be sports? Let the passion goes on and not money and greed. I rather see a Cantona flying kick than see a big fat ass in a suit clapping his hands in glee at the stands with a stupid smile (No.... did I say Roman?). Soccer today had already suffered a lot, from the scandalous doping tests to infamous bribing. Yah... and also some monkey chants. Spare me from some assholes trying to suck dry a famous club's money please.

Fans will ultimately suffer the consequences. Ticket prices rise, TV bills will rise, blah blah blah...

Not only soccer, but all sports as well. Let sports be as they are. Free from politics, money grabbing and fame seekers. Difficult? Yes. Give up? No. Don't take away innocent fans' dream of enjoying a good sport in his lifetime.

Dry And Stifled

C'mon..... rain, rain, rain!!!

Tom, Dick and Harry Discuss: A Piece of Bad News

Tom: Hey happy new year Dick..

Dick: Yo whassup! Happy new year dude.

Tom: Yah.

Dick: Hey you looking funny again. The same stupid smile is back on your face.

Tom: Yeah..

Dick: How was your reunion dinner?

Tom: I went to a restaurant to eat.. and the food was... good...

Dick: Mine also lah. Big deal..

Tom: Then I saw this hot babe man. Too bad I only saw her when she was leaving the place. She looks like Shu Qi!

Dick: Whoa... you seem to be spotting hot babes everywhere you go. But what about XXX man??

Tom: Aiyah. I don't even know if she celebrates Chinese New Year. She's probably at Mustafa with her boyfriend or something.

Dick: Hey there's Harry over there!

Dick: Yo Harry. Whassup!

Harry: (in silence, clutching a newspaper folded in half) ...

Tom: Harry, are you okay?

Harry: The Lunar Year is barely upon us, but the first pieces of bad tidings hath come.

Tom: Oh dear, is there another tsunami???

Dick: Oh shit, did Glazer just buy over my Man Utd???

Harry: Let me read this tragedy out to you guys..

Harry: (reading from the newspaper) (Darren: some portions below are in bold because Harry took pains to emphasize those specific lines by reading them louder than usual- he was practically shouting them out)

Martina Hingis, the former top player on the women's tennis circuit, says she is enjoying life outside the tough world of professional sport and focusing on her private life -- which includes England soccer star Sol Campbell.

Hingis, who played her first competitive match since 2002 last week in Pattaya, Thailand, said in an interview published Tuesday with the weekly magazine Schweizer Illustrierte that she has no plans to return full-time to the tour, but will continue to play in exhibition matches and charity events.

"I have a very good life and enjoyed all the freedom over the last two years," the 24 year-old Swiss said, according to the magazine. "I am no longer 16 or 17, and I am no longer prepared to concentrate solely on world class sport."

"What was good enough two years ago, doesn't do it anymore. Now, my size puts me at a disadvantage," she said.

Tom: What a waste... She was one of my favourite tennis players too. Intelligent movement, excellent groundstrokes, a joy to watch.

Dick: What a waste... She was one of the hottest babes in tennis last time. But now there's Sharapova..

Harry: (Continues reading excitedly) Quizzed over her rumored relationship with Campbell, 30, Hingis said she enjoys the company of the England and Arsenal central defender. But, pressed by the magazine on whether Campbell is her "new love," she said: "That's too strong a word."

"I like Sol a lot and we see each other whenever possible, but he has many matches and I have my appointments as well," she said. "It is not easy for us both."

Hingis and Campbell reportedly first met at a gala gathering hosted by the United Nations in London in December. Both are goodwill ambassadors for the world body.

Hingis reportedly broke up that month with Stefan Egger, a Swiss sports entrepreneur and restaurant owner.

Other previous boyfriends have included Spanish golfer Sergio Garcia and Florida Assistant State Attorney Christopher Calkin, who in 2001 successfully prosecuted a man who had stalked Hingis at her homes and at tournaments around the world.

Hingis was 22 when she retired in 2002 after operations on both ankles. The five-time Grand Slam singles champion was the youngest player to reach No. 1 at the age of 16 years and six months. She won a combined 76 singles and doubles titles during her career.

Dick: Sol Campbell sucks lah. Arsenal sucks.

Tom: No wonder he is not playing well recently..

Harry: (dreamily) He is a lucky guy.. But don't worry guys I will get over this. I am not some wimp who wallows in self-pity just because I can't get what I want.

Dick: Relax lah. Big deal anyway. She's not that great.

Tom: Yeah... hey! Harry.

Harry: Yeah?

Tom: Do you still want your newspaper? I saw a photo of Fiona in the Citigems ad. I wanna keep it... can?

Happie Chinese New Year!

My sister came into my room the moment she returned home. "Brother, you must go and watch Constantine leh... very good show!" She said beaming.

Don't worry, I WILL GO AND WATCH ONE! But not free this weekend, so I'm tempted to watch it...... next Thursday. Yep, join me if you want to watch.



*** Darren from The Good Life blog wishes everyone a Happy Chinese New Year! Studies improve, money roll in! (Hey I wished some of you happy CNY but you didn't wish me back.. so sad....)

Good Buddy

Can you feel the heat?

The weather is extremely hot lately, well guess it's the year of Hot Chick man.. which is good news to me (Is my joke funny?). But anyway, hope it rains soon. Current ongoing weather not good for the plants. The grasses had turned yellow and the trees dropped lots of leaves liao. Rain, rain, rain!

Fat busterd keeps asking me what plans do I have for this long holiday. And I always shoot back that I want to study all the way. Hey not that I want, but with waves of quizes and assignments due next week, do you have a better option? Thanks NTU for that! I luv u~~!

Meritocracy in Singapore sucks.

My sergeant (NS) once told me... "My boss said to me that he wanted to promote me, but I'm only a diploma holder. So I got no choice but to take private courses to have my degree so that he can promote me." Fuck up thinking from the boss man.

Everybody wants to look at that piece of rotten paper. No paper no talk. Why couldn't people regconised one's effort but not other written qualification from a piece of paper?

Oooh... I missed the topic man. It's "Good Buddy". Haha... entry not writing to the point, fail! Ok... well apparently this guy so busy entertaining some gals that he completely "miss" a whole bunch of us. Cool.....

Hey jinx, you can entertain your gals and wave to us at the same time right? Are we really so unapproachable or untouchable? Hope you have an enjoyable night man. Shakes my head and sighs.....

Dick and Harry Discuss: CNY Shopping

Dick: Sigh, Chinese New Year is coming and I haven't bought any clothes yet!!

Harry: Hmm.. who asked you so last minute.

Dick: You bought all your stuff already?

Harry: (nods confidently) Yeah. But I don't buy specifically for Chinese New Year, I buy stuff for general purposes too.

Dick: Why you never jio.. wah lau.

Harry: Eh I think our shopping styles are different anyway. You like to charge into a shop and start buying whatever you see. However, my shopping style involves a more methodical approach. I visit all the shops and carefully note the price and suitability of designs before I carefully consider what to buy. Mine is a very measured approach which is not prone to panic decision-making.

Dick: Eh I don't know what you are talking lah..

Harry: We do have something in common, and that is we like to shop when it's crowded. When we are surrounded by so many shoppers, we seem to feed off their enthusiam. The sense of frenzy seems to energize. It's like a collective aura that wills on the shopping spree, a collective irrationality which is strangely so appealing.

Dick: I need a new shirt by tomorrow. Otherwise, my mum will nag at me.

Harry: I've outgrown this 'new clothes for new year' mentality already. I find it rather superficial. I don't like my behaviour dictated by artificially man-defined notions of temporal festivity..

Dick: I think I will ask Tom... (whips out handphone)

Harry: Ah Tom is an interesting one. He likes to shop when there are as little people as possible. Which is so unlike me. I cannot help but feel self-conscious when I step into an empty store and all the employees start staring at me expectantly or even worse still, accusingly..

Dick: Hello? Tom ah?

The Encounter

While walking along the busy stretch of passageway outside Eight Flags, a pretty girl approached me. With sun-tanned skin and a beautiful smile, she stopped me by my track.

Pretty girl: "Hello sir, would you like to buy some coffins?"

Shell-shocked me: ...........

I don't know how to answer that.

Realizing that I didn't reply, she asked again.

Pretty girl: "Some coffins for you sir. We have some good stuffs here."

I couldn't take it anymore.

Shell-shocked me: " Why would I need to buy coffins?"

She seemed surprised when I snapped at her.

After 10 seconds of awkward silence........

Pretty girl: "But I only asked you if you would like to be some coffee..." (She stammered)

Realizing my mistake.... I could only give a trademark-stupid-smily-face. And we both laughed.

At least I get her handphone number and got a chance to drink coffee with her during the weekend. Yeah.....



***** Above is only a fantasy that I had in the library 'cos I'm bored and there is no one to talk to.

White Flag

I give up!

Tom and Dick Discuss: Hot Babes

Dick: Sigh, another boring lecture coming up..

Dick: Hey Tom, can you like look less happy and wipe that silly smile off your face.

Tom: (keeps smiling)

Dick: Hey hey hey... are you okay?

Tom: Yeah. Just that.. last Friday was such a wonderful day.

Dick: Last Friday? How come?

Tom: ... such a beautiful day...

Dick: Eh..

Tom: Well I was in the reading room area lah. I was discussing my project with my group mates.

Dick: Big deal..

Tom: Not just that lah. When I entered the room, I noticed that XXX was also there.. (Darren: XXX is hottest babe in their entire batch, according to Tom)

Dick: So what? I mean she's probably here too, in the same room as us now.

Tom: Well later on our group started to talk cock. And then she decided to join in. Then later we spoke to each other!!!

Dick: Wah so she knows you now?

Tom: Yeah man. I think this is the first step to greater things.

Dick: Aiyah it's not such a big deal. Still a long way to go. Oh yeah and anyway, I heard she already has a boyfriend.

Tom: Issit??

Dick: Yeah. And furthermore, I heard he's an Indian.

Tom: Wah WTH. How come these hot babes always like that one.

Dick: Sad right.

Dick: Anyway so how was she like?

Tom: She's very friendly lah. Out of nowhere just come up to talk to us. But then she is quite gossipy man. But can tell she is nice. And spunky. You know when she smiles, her eyes smile together as well. They are so adorable you think she is incapable of evil. Plus her grin is quite infectious. Thinking of her makes me smile myself.

Dick: Yes yes I can see that. Wah lau. Better not dig yourself too deep a hole to fall into. You must be realistic.

Tom: I like the way she talks also. So classy. She's like from another level altogether. Even the music she listens to. Jazz sia. Wah lau.

Tom: Oh yeah. You know I was telling you about her blog. I have been reading it for a few months liao. But it turns out that there are TWO XXXs in our batch.. and this blog belongs to THE OTHER XXX!!

Dick: WTF?? Wah lau!

Tom: Yeah it's so strange you know. All along I've built this impression of XXX partly from her in person when I see her in school, and partly from her blog. Then I piece her together to form a person in my impression whom I have grown to like. But now, I have to unlearn what I thought I had learnt about her from her blog. So it's like, she is a half-new person to me now- familiar, yet unfamiliar...

Tom: I had to delete away what I had thought all along was true. Now I must tell myself: No, she does not like the same songs as me. No, she does not like to use those phrases used in the blog. No, she is not as blur as she sounds on that blog.

Tom: Having to undo what you've built up in your mind over time, having to unlearn something you always thought was a fact. This feeling.. it's so surreal, you know? Dick?

Dick: (whispers) Eh shit. I think she is sitting behind us!

Dispirited

Again and again, expectations fall short.

Again and again, results do not match the efforts.

"The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."

When can I walk with my face held high?

Armed me with strength and wisdom so that I can fight my advesery!

--- A cry from a disillusioned young man.

Yeee.... Women Nowadays ah...

Research firm find that one in five Singaporean wives hides her assets from her husband. --- The Sunday Times.

They gave cock reasons like they will steal, or act as a buffer for them should their husbands walked out on them.

Other than some men who are real basterds (lying to wives, beating them or stealing from them), I see no reasons in hiding things from the other partner. Hey how to build a relationship when one don't trust the other party? Might as well go and keep a dog.

The Simple Life

I walked past the living room, where my sis was watching the 'The Simple Life". I heard someone shouted in quite a slutty voice. Yah you got it..... Paris Hilton.

Ok... she got a hot body (My personal view). She is rich. But she is..... undesirable.... at least to me. Erm.... why is she behaving this way? Why is she treating everybody like they are idiots and she is the princess?

It makes me very hard not to stereotype, is all the western girls like that?

Right Frame Of Mind

Nothing had happened for the past few days. What am I expecting to happen? *shrugged my shoulders* But don't know why I feel good today.

Maybe it's the weekend or the Chinese New Year?

Played with some dogs this morning. Good choice. Like a particular one. Guess what? It had been adopted. But by 2 different people. Admin cock up I guess. The uncle was very upset. The lady didn't seem to want to give in to him. So what happen next?

I went home.

Well guess it's time for me to do something. Something. I couldn't pin-point what thing. Damn it. But something. Haha... still I feel happy.

Shit.... those guys from thw IMH are here again. Got to go! Remember, though everyone busy with your own stuffs, keep in tounch and stay cheerful!

He Said It All

Sit doggie sit! Good boy!

Scripts

Script 1

The water in the steamboat was boiling. Everybody came into the picture and sat down to eat happily. Everyone was enjoying themselves when Tecko's hp rang. He answered it. A minute later, he hung up the phone and told everybody that he had something to attend to and left hurriedly. Puzzled, the rest of the gang continued to eat. Then jinx's hp rang. Jinx picked it up, then passed his phone to fat busterd. Fat busterd's face turned black when he answered it. After that, he left without a word. This time the whole gang was silent. Something had happened. CS's phone rang this time. Feeling afraid, he answered it. After hanging up, he got up and told everyone that something had cropped up in his business and had to attend it immediately. Now left 3 people. After a few minutes, Sniper whispered something to jinx. Both of them got up and said they got stomachache and have to go home to rest. Next scene, xiaolong was seen cleaning up the table alone.

Inspired by Infernal Affairs 2.

Script 2

Everyone was eating happily. Exchanging jokes and well wishes (as CNY around the corner), suddenly jinx started to sing CNY songs. The rest of the gang got hooked up by jinx beautiful singing and joined in. We go out and took a cab to Botanic Gardern. There we continue singing until police came to round us up, 'cos we didn't apply for a permit to perform in the Botanic Gardern.

Inspired by all the Chinese New Year MTVs.

Script 3

We were eating happily. Suddenly fat busterd started to tremble violently. Panic gripped the whole room. Everyone was attending to him and didn't notice that jinx was sweating profusely. We were caught by surprise when jinx shouted "He was here! He was here!". The lights then blacked out, leaving us in total darkness. Then CS let out a bloody scream and collapsed to the floor. Xiaolong turned bersek and tried to kick everything in his path. The rest of you just dashed out of the room.

Inspired by all the ghost movies.

Script 4

We were eating happily. Suddenly sniper choked on his fishball and started to suffocate. Jinx sawing this, hurriedly took a frying pan and knocked sniper's head, forcing to fishball to fly out and slammed into tecko's face. The fishball bounced off and xiaolong unknowingly stepped on it and slipped. The cup of water in xiaolong's hand spilled unto the wires of the steamboat and set off an explosion. The explosion caused CS, who was sitting next to the wires, to have a charcoal face and an afro-hairstyle. Fat busterd saw this and laughed so hard that he choked on his fishball.

Inspired by Sing Ye's movies.

Take your pick. The date is tentatively set on next wkend.

Chapter 2 : The Death of Rosemary

Daniel hid among the shadows and watched the happenings with concern. He saw medics carrying out a body of a lady from the apartment. It was Rosemary. Daniel stealthly walked towards the crowd who had already gathered outside the apartment, and some were discussing what actually happened.

"Heard from the police that she had died from a heart attack." Another said,:"No, no.... I actually heard a scream coming out from her apartment. Most be something bad had happened...."

Heart attack? Daniel pondered. It looked like one, but Daniel knew what actually happen. The soul ripper was here before. And it had claimed Rosemary's life. There were indication of the presence of the soul ripper around the neighbourhood.

"So sad, Rosemary is the best neighbour that I had. She is such a wonderful person..." a lady beside Daniel sobbed. Suddenly Daniel felt afraid. He was caught off guard by the Dark Side. He had actually came to warn Rosemary of the impending disaster, but the soul ripper got her first. Fist clenched, Daniel tried to think of the next step that he should do. What's next? Daniel was clueless. He needed help. And that idiot friend of his had still not arrived yet. Now he was alone battling it out.

Daniel sensed that he was being watched. Worried about the danger lurking at the surrounding, Daniel quickly left.

David VS Goliath 2

Okok... I'm not siding anybody here. MM Lee's contribution towards Singapore is there for everybody to see. However it is also a fact that there are people who are not pleased with the many policies that he and PAP implemented.

With Singapore fast becoming a one-party country (Don't give up, Mr Chiam and Mr Low! There are people supporting you too!), is there really democracy in the country? I have to say that the competition that the Opposition threw up are quite weak. Well I think there are no fast solutions to that. As Singapore is encouraged by the government to "open up", I believe there will be some up-and-rising politicians joining the Opposition party. Ok then, lets wait and see.

Are the people's voices being heard by the government? Selectively I believe. One can argue that the government still has the final say in every matters. But then I don't wait them to give the impression that they are listening by letting the people speak and behind the curtains answers are already concluded (Take the casino debate and preserving natural habitats in Singapore for examples). That will be real hypocrisy man.

Aiyoh.. don't know what I'm mumbling over here. Maybe because I'm not into politics. When I'm free I will give this topic a much needed thought.

David VS Goliath

This is Hope Of The Nation.

Ohhh.... so I see a ray of hope.

Or is it something more stupid and hilarious?

YOU DON'T CALL MM LEE A DESPOT. NOT EVEN "ENLIGHTENED DESPOT". (Yah... don't try to use the word "enlightened" to create a smokescreen to squeezed MM Lee's balls.)

Who? Jamie Han. Who again? Well I think he will be the next king of Singapore. Maybe in a few more days you will see him kena arrested by ISA. Or got marked by various ministries. If not that serious maybe kena sued until bankrupt.

Wah lau... heard that he is a honours student somemore. Study until siao liao izzit?

Ok... maybe you are not satisfied with MM Lee's dictatorship, (oopps... is Big Brother watching?) but then this forum was quite a big event as you can see MM Lee was the one giving a speech. Well if you thought the audiences were falling asleep and you want to wake them up by some knee-jerk questions.... go ahead but calling MM Lee a despot is like Mr Chee stalking behind ex-PM Goh shouting "where is the money?". C'mon... you guys should do better than that.

And by countering MM Lee's reply by ending "This is not a philosophical question so thank you for your time" is simply.......

Well all I can say is you got big balls.
