Lesson Learnt

2007-06-03T22:52:00.000+08:00

I learnt several important lessons over the weekend.

1) ALWAYS remember to switch off all your lights after getting off your car. Signal lights included.

2) Carry a pair of jumpstart cables if you own a car.

3) Charge your handphone before you go out. You never know when it will save your life.

4) Remember to treat your friends well because you dont know when you are going to need their help.

5) Helpful people still exists in Singapore today.

6) One good deed deserves another.

7) Things have a natural way of working it out by itself, even when all seems lost.

8) I will not be so forgetful again. . .

On a sidenote,

Reser-ucking-ist is here again for the next 5 days.
Till then. .

Ciao! ^^

I saw this little girl playing in the fountain at a particular shopping center in Singapore, still with her clothes fully on.

Dont you sometimes wish you can be just like her?

Doing something that you like without thinking or bothering about what other people might think about you?

I want to be like her. . .

Its the weekend again and it means . . .. .SHOOTING TIME!!. .

This time in a little eastern part of SG. .Katong

A quiet residential area formerly dominated by wealthy Straits Chinese families or the Peranakans, many of the older Peranakan homes in Katong, once seaside villas, still stand tall and picturesque.

to quote her blog...

"Recently I've got no mood to blog. Seeing some losers leaving insulting comments makes me depressed. Anyway, I've deleted those comments due to vulgarities, I'm the censorship board...hee!

To make myself happy, I bought an Apple Macbook Pro."

Now that's some serious retail therapy right there.

On a sidenote, it's really rare for people in her age group to keep up with technology.
And I respect her for that!!!

I caught the movie last night and was blown away. People expecting a deep plot need not apply. This is a visual feast for the eyes, and it doesn't pretend to be otherwise....stunning visuals, blood, gore and decapitations. I mean it's like this

1) Fight
2) King says some cool one liner
3) They fight again
4) They fight somemore
5) They get owned
6) The End

The fighting scenes were the best I've ever seen in a while, my favourite being the one where Leonidas slashed through a wave of enemies all by himself in slow motion, can you say ballet of death?

Simply beautiful...

Good to hear that it's raking in the earnings, the movie rightly deserves so...

"Our arrows will blot out the sun."
"Then we will fight in the shade."

We march!!

"To be truly happy, a man must live absolutely in the present, no thought of what's gone before and no thought of what lies ahead. But a life with meaning, a man is condemned to wallow in the past and obsess about the future."

So to lead a life of happiness or a life with meaning?

You tell me.

Crazy

2007-02-28T00:35:00.000+08:00

Hiya. . Sorry for the lack of updates. Work has been nothing short of crazy these days.

So over these days, too many things happened.

Some things wear me out
Some things trigger my tears
Some things push me stronger
Some things keep me quiet
Some things let out my crazy shouts
Some things make me jump around
Some things remind me of those who cares
Some things cheer me up
Some things show the other sides of people
Some things don’t deserve my sacrifices
Some things tell me to let go
Some things hold me and beg me stay

I’m okay.

I wonder why my post ends up so emo. I’m suppose to feel happy now that it is the 2nd month of my new job already. I am not totally satisfied with my work so far, kinda like falling short of my own expectations and I am not going to come up with excuses for myself but I think I shouldn’t feel that bad. I’d done enough.

What more can one ask for. Just look forward, and work harder in my coming endeavours. Everything come and go, follow with this flow and look ahead. Jump into any opportunities, if given to me, I will.

Pardon for this short post again. Going to hit the sack soon and catch wadever sleep I can.

Laters!!

From the very beggining of watching Dominic Howard rise out of the "Knights Of Cydonia"
to the great jets of steam and swirling lights that lead out the performance on
"Stockholm Syndrome", the show has flawless in every way.

And not forgetting the great company as well. . =)

Last night's show was an ABSOLUTE dream come true.

More Pics

Of taxis and Love

2007-01-14T22:30:00.000+08:00

Love is just like waiting for Taxi

When you are waiting.. there is no taxi you can find or pass by you..

After awhile you get sick of waiting and you decided not to wait ....

You turned and walk off ...

The moment you turn and walk off .. A taxi passed by .. You missed the chance ..

In the process of walking away ... Somehow you feel that there will be a taxi coming.. You turned back and saw the other person hoping into the taxi ...

But then again I still believe that "Love" is more than just merely analogies, philosophies, or "fate".. it involves timing.. probability and lots of patience (waiting).

If love can be easily deciphered with examples or theories; like reading a textbook.. then it's not love anymore.

Love, or loving someone is never simple at all.

I lied when I said that I would be okay. It's never fine when you go away.

Looking at my iPod now.. so... yesterday.....

Hello 2007, Goodbye 2006

2007-01-01T22:19:00.000+08:00

All in all, 2006, there’s hardly anything to wail about.

In fact, It has been good to me.

It has been a year of travels.

I set out with an incredible wanderlust, and found my peace and happiness.

Japan, Vietnam, Bangkok, Cambodia, Hongkong. Just about the places I have managed to squeeze into my schedule and I am grateful for it. Each of these are places I collect and keep close to my heart. Although I wished I had been more daring and traveled alone instead.

Friends were made during my travels as well and listening to their stories really make me feel so small. They took the step of faith and keep going even if they don’t know where they’re going.

I wish I had done the same as well.

Not just for my travels but life in general. How many times have I said NO to the unknown, not knowing what or where it would have brought me to.

I am still young and can still afford to fail.

10 yrs down the road I probably wouldnt say the same anymore.

Have yourself a good one, and see you soon,.

Wishlist for 2007:
1)Backpack to India, ALONE.
They say to conquer your fears is to deal with it face to face.

2)Study

3)Addprimus to grow from strength to strength.

All these doesnt sound very hard, right?

Xin Chao, Sapa

2007-01-01T21:53:00.000+08:00

Sapa is a town in the mountains surrounded by many villages home to different ethnic minority groups. We spent a full day walking around the town and exploring the villages that surrounded Sapa. Because of the mountainous terrain, people have to farm on terraced land. The rice paddies were beautiful giant staircases. The weather was great at the time we were there and the views were quite spectacular.

Although the drives to and from Sapa were long, we drove through beautiful mountain passes. The roads were narrow and winded around steep cliffs. Along the way we saw the tallest mountain in Vietnam (Fansipan) and numerous waterfalls.

Now you dont have to endure the long rides I went through, just sit back and enjoy the pictures!!

In Sapa we all encountered numerous children who spoke English very well. Many were younger than 10 and had learned English just from speaking with tourists. All were dressed in the traditional clothing of their respective villages. They sold bracelets, blankets, clothing, and various other souvenirs.

Pre Trip Thoughts

I'm filled with anticipation as I'm writing this.

I'm finally going to Vietnam! Since I only have a few days here, I intend to have a blast of a time and explore Vietnam.

My mind is actualy quite a blank right now. The only thing I am thinking now is I have not left out anything in my packing list. Passport, Airtixs. .etc etc

************
Thanks peeps for the nice words there. .it certainly felt better after reading your comments. .=)

Alrity, I will be back 8 days later. .

Till then. .

Corporalitics

2006-11-29T23:04:00.000+08:00

Today I just received a email from my Finance Dept addressing to everyone. .

In her exact words

Dear All,

Payday for the month of Nov06 will be delayed till Dec 2 due to some unexpected delay in collections.

Once again, apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Apologies??

Kiss My Ass.
You dont do such things to your employees.

Delay in collections? Screw your sales staff and managers. They are not doing their job and not pushing for sales. Don't make their problem my problem.

We all have bills to pay, loans, financial commitments and families to feed

This is the 2nd time in a row our pay has been delayed.

I am a simple man.
I don't expect to be paid big bucks or what. I will put in the work required and do what is expected of me. But when the Corporation start taking things for granted and sends you emails like this, you know it isn't worth it anymore.

Ever since the merger, things have just been going down hill.

No more Meet-the-CEO sessions where we can air our views, no more one big family together. The human touch is just gone.

Office politics galore. People are just backstabbing each other as if its a competition to see who has the most kill at the end of the day. One of the manager even told a staff that there are no friends in an office.

Just recently I just found out 2 co-workers bitching about each other in their own blogs. One calling the other a bitch and the other calling the other a loose woman, sleepin around.

WTF!!!

To say that I regretted rejecting the previous job offer is probably a understatement. I have to admit its my mistake, a wrong move.

Its time to move on, definitely.

Halftime

2006-11-17T20:58:00.000+08:00

Back home for the halftime break from reservist.

It has been. .emm. .well. .more of like a school camp than InCamp Training.

My typical day:

Eat
Sleep
Eat
Sleep
Eat
Sleep
Shower
Sleep

Oooh. .did I mention sleep?

Probably the most interesting thing we did was reciting the pledge on the first day.

we, the citizens of ~~PAP~~ Singapore,
pledge ourselves as one united people,
regardless of ~~foreign talents~~ Race, ~~bus hikes~~ Language or ~~GST hikes~~ Religion
to build a ~~communist~~ Democratic society
based on ~~fare hikes~~Justice and ~~foreign talents~~ Elitism
so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and
progress for ~~PAP~~ our Nation.

Dammn. .must be those "good news" i have been reading in the papers . .

Back again on Tuesday. .watch out!!

Reservist

Goin to serve my farking reservist again.

3 more wks to vietnam.. counting down. .

Back

2006-11-06T23:29:00.000+08:00

Don't ask me why.

Damn. I haven't posted in three months. I know everyone out there was totally worried about me and disappointed that I wasn't posting anything. And Ms Evil Blythe had threaten to take me off her bookmark.

Oh ya, and thanks for the ONE comment asking why I hadn't posted.

I'd love to tell you I've been exceptionally busy (I've been having dates with work), or that I have had no inspirations (I've had some, but obviously nothing so burning it forced me to write).

In general, I've just not been in the mood for writing of late.

Anyways, the reports of my demise were greatly self-exaggerated.

Thanks for being patient; here endeth the hiatus.

JUS A FEW UPDATES

1) Vietname and Hongkong in Dec!!
This one reallllllly got me excited despite the fact that i got 1 ICT to go through before the fun begins.

2) I got a hot pink phone!!

3) I got a Mac!!

Anyway, to prevent this blog from resembling a mere shrine to my own materialism, some things did not really turned out the way I liked.

4) I got bloody charged by SAF for defaulting on IPPT when i obviously took it during my last incamp. I reckon this deserve a post on its own which i am goin to rant and whine about.

5) Reservist next week without my buddies. .I am just going to be soooo dead alone inside.

6) Work really sucks, big time. I wish i had jus taken up the job offer the last time.

How bout that to sum up my past 2 months? I know it sounds rather mudane, but thats the best my life has to offer at that moment. .I mean it isnt that interesting to begin with in the 1st place.

25 more days to go.

1 fabulous trip.

I hope you are looking forward to it as much as i do.

2nd of Dec. Wait for me.

Getting Ready

2006-09-11T09:26:00.000+08:00

Roads on the highway have been re-laid. Pots of flowers were aesthetically arranged on all sides of the roads. Unsightly construction works were hidden from view by placing strategically pots of plants in front of freshly painted metal fences. The city is ready to welcome its guests from IMF and World Bank with our 4 million smiles.

The IMF and WB delegates get perks that Singaporeans have not enjoyed - GRS system for buses, nicer scenary with flowered plantations, better customer service from taxi drivers and retail staff (since they has gone for training);

But guess what?? Inconveniences is what we get in return.

Even before the meetings can start, Singapore has already faced its first major stumbling block.

The IMF and World Bank on Friday issued an unprecedented rebuke to Singapore over a ban on accredited activists invited to attend the annual meetings of the two financial institutions next week.

If Singapore systems and as a country is that fragile and cannot withstand peaceful and civil protest and demostrations then I do not think Singapore can withstand the test of any war or violent conflicts. SAF should just close down and stop wasting resources and time.

I think after years of nation building, we should be more resilient than that or else a breeze alone can cripple Singapore. How chaotic can civil demostrations be as compared to the chaos brought by NEL and MRT breakdowns ???

After 40 years, we are still debating about national identity and of Singapore being hotel or country. I think PAP has failed to deliver Singapore as a country but has succeeded in delivering Singapore as a settlement and a place good for business. It is not good for anything else. In that case, I can choose anywhere else as Singapore is not the only place in the Global World good for business.

Well, I hope that security would not be so blady zealous that anyone entering City Hall MRT would be subjected to a ridiculous security screening to 'ensure the safety of the delegates' thingy.

Yes, cos I'll need to go past City Hall.

Blaming the stingrays

One of the sick ironies in life, being such an animal lover.

He's a good bloke with that famous catchphrase "Crikeyy!". What a huge lost, for us and for his animals.

I hope his children gets to know what kind of a man their father was. He at the very least, deserves that.

And for me, I'll always remember that scene of him running from a komodo dragon. It takes much more to go up close to a komodo dragon, and he's one of the few that did, and survived that.

The man may be gone but his legacy will live on. His passion for the environment and all creatures great and small has influenced a whole generation.

In my impression of his shows, he will always just take off his shirt and wear a goggle then jump to the sea, no protection or anything else.

Always make me sweat for him, now really sad hes gone.

He's a great guy... damn entertaining... sad way to end ur life...
Remember he always like to say "ain't she a beauty!!".... "she's gorgeous!!"....in his thick Australian accent.

RIP Steve Irwin.

Australia has lost a great icon

DAMN STINGRAY!!!
The stingray that killed him should be chopped into pieces ALIVE and BBQed with chilli!!!

I am on a one week stingray eating spree!!

Welcoming FTs

2006-08-30T22:23:00.001+08:00

For the past few weeks we can see how the gahment and Straits Times is trying to push its agenda.

Glamourising Foreign ~~Trash~~ Talents(FT) (china-born chap becomes SAF officer), FT makes Sinkapore more cosmopolitan. Citing how FT can normalise population issues, and making immigration policies more lenient (visit Immigration building if u have the time) etc.

Now that the policies are in placed, we should start thinking how to make these FT feel welcomed. Even if you disagree with it, can also help to brainstorm for others to do.

If a FT move next door, you can:

1. Offer your subscribed copy of Straits Times to him/her FOC, so that they can know how fortunate they are to be in Sg and make Sg their homes.

2. Switch on your WiFi modem 24/7, give them free access to show Sg is a intelligent wired country and they can contact their friends overseas FREE.

3. Offer to water their plants, wash their corridors and ~~be their dog~~, oops, i mean walk their dog to make their living environment comfortable.

4. Volunteer to guard their homes if they feel any imminent threats(eg from Ah Long). With the NS training you received, you are more than able for the task. On Guard!!

5. Invite them to your homes to watch EPL/WC matches on your cable subscription. Remember, the matches are free in their homeland. Better still, duplicate a set of your house keys so that they can come and watch as and when they want.

We now genna so jelat is also because of them. Really giving us more pressure.

No doubt these Foreign Talent force us to progress...but i think our local elites are not balancing it very correctly. Don't forget "We are Singapore!" not "Foreignpore"

We as locals should get some protection. Instead i see that these outsides are helped and later given citizenship. Benefiting from the foundations we and our fore fathers have worked hard for.
Now is just the begining very soon we will be taken over...! Even the "chickens" are foreign talent.

Maybe we Sillyporean also have a problem....we ~~hum~~hiam this hiam that ... even chicken need foreign talent.

So may i suggest we also get foreign talent to be in the government. Cos this is the only area we have yet to explore in greater detail.

Get a Swedish fellow to be Minister of Sports, then like them maybe we can go WC.
Get an Ex-Iraqi to be Minister of defence then can fight in FIBUA
Etc....don't laugh.....this maybe the key to Sillypore's success in Future of foreign TALENTS and LOCAL elites!

Talking about making mistakes, a few nights ago, I saw on tv the PM of Korea apologising to the public because of the illegal gambling dens that are in operation around town and near schools, and vowed to close them all down.

How humble.

Now, when did we ever see singapore ministers apologise for anything at all? They only know how to say "on hindsight..."

A wrong is a wrong.... but our very talented govt can make a wrong into a right... i guess korea does not have such talents, so LL have to apologise lor... haha...

Getting hot on a tuesday morning

2006-08-29T09:30:00.000+08:00

Remember when you are young how your parents tell you that telling lies is bad for you? Like you will go to hell, ur nose growing longer and your tongue getting cut off and all that shite?

Well, i guess times are different now. Telling lies, especially white ones do get you to places!

On a different note,

ATTENTION TO ALL PREGGIES!!

PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME THAT WE, PASSENGERS ON THE MRT ARE OBLIGATED TO GIVE UP OUR SEATS TO YOU.

WHEN WE DO IT IS BECAUSE WE ARE KIND ENOUGH TO.

SO CAN YOU AT LEAST SAY A THANK YOU AND NOT SHOW A STUPID FACE, AS IF WE OWN YOU ONE. IS IT THAT HARD TO PUT ON A SMILE AND SAY THANK YOU? AT LEAST WE WILL FEEL THAT STANDING FROM YISHUN TO DODBY GHAUT IS WORTH IT!!

JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE PREGNANT DOESNT MAKE YOU THE QUEEN OF THE MRT WHERE WE HAVE TO MEET YOUR WIMPS AND FANCIES!!!!!!

THANK YOU!!!

Yes. hot and fresh. hope it stays online for good... but i have a bad feeling about the repurcussions that this podcast might bring.

I sort of scared that mr brown will get into trouble for this... making fun of pm is no joke.

He's talented like what our PM described him.
Give the man a tiger,he's really brave.

I think LHL will be veri veri tulanzzz Mr Brown now.

And he call himself PM of singapore?
Arent PM suppose to know Singaproe better than anyone else?

So we're allowing ppl who dun understand/know singapore to guide us..
Hmm.. interesting!!

Wait wait, or maybe not hawker center mee siam?

Perhaps those expensive mee siam in hotels/restaurant does have hum? Anyone can confirm this?

Really throw face manz!! And most funny is that the floor actually laughed with him!!
Dunno if the audience laugh with him or laugh at him... haha. Wonder if the Malaysian ministers fell off their chairs when they heard this.

The mee siam man is gonna ask him, "Explain why you tell me you say don't want the hum when my mee siam inside is all along never put the hum?"

After enjoying the humour, lets all pray for mr brown.

I'm sure he'll get marked some way or another.
But you know what?

Seriously Mr Lee can really sing.
"talkingcock mai hum, mai hum mai hum mai hum.."

Getting brainwashed

2006-08-20T20:46:00.000+08:00

I find it very annoying... every channel i switch i see the speech...

yes! its important but i think there is No need for ALL mediacock channels to show cast the speech for example.. mediacock is showin 2 chinese channels for that speech!! channel U and channel 8! wtf?

Is that Necessary ?

SHUT UP!
I wish somone would tell him that.

I hate to listen to his wayang speech on 'relaxing' and 'opening' our society when the MIW themselves are doing the opposite, and yet all the fu(king channels are showing his speech.

Finally switch off the TV and come to the partisan internet, and finally found peace.

Later channel new asia and channel 5 is going to show the same things again!

Cant stand it
Ridiculous

They DON'T give us any choices!

I rather watch my toe nails grow....

Celebrating NDP

2006-08-15T00:14:00.000+08:00

Hooray! Another billion bucks into our pockets!

As usual, party for elites, area cleaning for us! They got $100M budget for the ~~wayang~~NDP, but still dare to ask for free labour for area cleaning? Wicked until like this?

Jobs for FTs, Party for Elites, Area Cleaning for NSmen?

Today I want to talk about our National Day that has just passed.

I took part in the NDP twice in my life, both kena-ed during my NS days.

I have alot of things to say about NDP but never knew how. After 2 years, I finally found the words to write.

National Day Parade!

It has become the pap propaganada machine. And the ways we celebrate National Day hasn't been creative.

Its the governemts way of making Singaporeans feel attach to the nation.

Spending huge amount of money to "help us love" this nation and involve with her birthday. Dont u think they confuse and make sure sgians think that PAPy = SG?

Frankly, the money could be put to better use.

My foreign friend said that ndp is quite a waste of money. They dun celebrate so extravagently in their country. we should REALLY just save the money used in the celebrations.

Every yr is the same.

Drills. Fireworks.. Coffin fighter planes fly here n there create pollutions.. some crappy shows and lousy singers singing NDP2006 theme.

I just wish they wont turn our country's national day into a showcase for their trumiphs and successes. But that's what they have been doing all alone.

I was so surprised to see that they actually had the photo of MPs on the National Day Banners which they put on the lamp posts. The PAPy flag was flown side by side the National flag. Isit time for elections again?

From what i remember, they never did that in the past. Now is like campaigning period, with the candidates' photos on the lamp posts.

Hmm whats next?

They are trying very hard to brainwash the kids to equate National Day to PAP day. Wicked or not?

From the picture above, I observe that

1) Portrait of LKY - impressionist North Korean mural style.

2) PAP flag held up by kid.

3) "YOU WILL BE NEXT!" Next to? Next for? ~~Stupid Catholic High morons.~~ I am from Catholic High, so cannot say them.

They say they want to reenact Singapore history. But I can guarantee you the little part about LKY being a Japanese translator for the secret police during the Occupation will be conveniently missing. A void in the historical timeline.

It is not only wicked, but also shameful and untruthful. A blatant attempt to distort history. Seems like they are trying to tell the kids that in Sillypore history there is only PAP, where are WP and Barisan Socialis which also exist at that time?

Ok, so after a long time not blogging, pardon me. I guess I am just a little fustrated with things now that my MRT and bus fares are going to go up very soon. Getting called up to reservist doesnt makes things any better.

Just WTF are they up to?

"I can't bear to look. Is this good enough for ya?"

And the seditious kitty who refused to smile:

Siao bo? No way i'm smiling for zhenghu.

It is a sad day, for society has come to the point of such materialism that dangling rewards and carrots is the norm even for something as a simple as a smile, which will still require sincerity from the heart.

Quite xiasway to know that my country has to advocate manners in its own citizens. They enjoy playing the parent role eh.

So what's the difference between this, TOTO, Big Sweep and NKF charity shows? i already can't differentiate.

I pity the people who'd sell their souls to take part in this nation-wide wayang if they just take part for the prizes.They should have organised this smile campaign on the day Progress package was announced.

Now its too late to get people to smile with all the hikes coming up.

4 million smiles?

I say give them 8 million middle fingers instead.

Wondering. .

2006-07-29T01:47:00.000+08:00

Have you ever wondered what love means to a person? What does it mean to you?

Issit seeing your gf/bf everyday means love? or issit you miss someone when you dont see him/her means love?

Abit of everything maybe ... but which is more to you?

To some, love is about seeing the person everyday and missing the person when you dont see him/her ......love is when you see the opposite gender with him/her, you will feel angry .... and alot.

But seeing someone everyday can be just a habit .... missing is because the habit is not being fulfilled and angry when see other girls with him is because of jealousy...... a sense of possesion.

To some, love = his/her other half.. family..and future kids.

Simple as that.

To me, love is love, to give love a definition is to defeat the purpose of loving.
Love is something very profound and deep.

Not even the best professionals of the language can decipher what is love. Humans can only feel and anticipate love, but we cannot explain. as feelings can only be felt, not explained.

If only something as deep as love can be put into words..

Fed! Up with progess!

Applications to increase bus and MRT fares will be submitted by next Tuesday for Public Transport Council approval. The reason being that Diesel cost increasing and the last increase in July'05 was not enough to cover this increase.

Any fare adjustment, if approved, will take effect beginning Oct'06.

(They got no choice leh... )

I hope the pple who applied, approved this move all die. Also not forgetting, the pple who profit from this move.

Staying together... moving ahead......

for all Temasek companies

More to come in the next 4 years

We could protes......

nevermind...

I love my fucking country. .

Chris Martin is a dynamic frontman. He's definitely the focal point, the star of the show without having an "I'm the star of the show" attitude.

It's just what he does when he's in the moment. When he bends low over the piano, it's almost as if he feels he can get closer to the music that way.

Though Chris is undeniably a frontman, you can tell by the way he interacts with his bandmates that he considers himself one member of a band.

It's not just The Chris Martin show.

Believe me, we've screamed, we've applauded, we've swayed, we've swooned. There isn't a voice in the room that doesn't roar.

We have been transported to Coldplay's planet. And it's a nice place to visit. It might be grand to buy a house and try living there awhile.

The bottom line? Coldplay is amazing live. I guess an off night for them is equivalent to the best gig most bands will ever play. Watch this show.

I don't think I'm alone here.

Maybe that's why they're one of the biggest bands in the world.

And maybe that's why some people hate them. I guess it makes sense.

That's the price they have to pay for writing songs with lines like "And the truth is/ I miss you," and "look at the stars/ look how they shine for you."

Some people like to remember all the baggage that those lines carry with them, while for others it's the last thing they want to think about.

I get it now.

~~Then run, don't walk, to buy tickets to the tour and experience Coldplay in person.~~
opps. .i forgot its a one night gig only

=================================================================

During the concert

Stranger: Can you take a photo for us?

Me: Oh sure

Stranger: OOh. .thanks!! (begins to pose)

Me: Emmm. . wheres your camera??

Stranger: We dont have one.

Me: . . .

(After which they suggest using my camera and email her the photo(which i still haven done). I say thats a really good way to ask me for my contact. =p)

After the concert

Walking to the MRT station after the concert

Ang Moh: Hi, how do you get to the MRT station

Me: Oh! We are walkin to the MRT station as well, you can follow us.

Ang Moh: Sure!

Me: So where are you guys from??

Ang Moh: We are from the United States and living here for the past 3 months.

Ang Moh: Sorry!

Ang Moh: Sorry for all the mess we have created in this world.

Germany can only win the World Cup on Odd Decades - they've won in the '50s (1954), '70s (1974) and '90s (1990). It's an Even Decade this year, so the World Cup is out of Germany's reach despite their having home advantage.

Do you know who spoke these words?

So you know who wrote that prediction?

Would you be surprised to know that it was ME? Eugene Zee?

Yes. It was ME. I wouldnt kid with you. On my honour, these words are MINE!!

While there remains the possibility of a Euro 2008 success for Italy, there's another important determining factor - a match-fixing scandal.

In 1982, Italy rocked by match-fixing scandal but they won the World Cup..

This year is also same... so Italy got history going for them...

Do you know who spoke these words and wrote that prediction?

Would you be surprised that, once again, such superior predictory skills can only be directly linked to ME??

Eugene Zee?

You're sayin to yourself right now, "I can't believe Eugene is so astute, intelligent, and inspiring!"

But I am.

Now bow down to ME!!

I say BOW not headbutt u dimwit!!!

Being Milked

2006-07-04T17:26:00.001+08:00

Peak Period Surcharge
$2.00
Monday-Friday
7.00am - 9.30am

Monday - Saturday
5.00pm - 8.00pm

Avoid taking ComfortDelGro taxis during this period.

Distance Fare
1km to 10km
10cts for every 210m

Above 10km
10cts for every 175m

The fare adjustments have been made to help our taxi drivers supplement their incomes.

ComfortDelGro does not intend to increase its taxi rental charges.

Every ride will cost $2.50 when u board the cab.
For every 210m below 10km, it will charge $0.10 instead of the previous $0.10 per 225m.
for every 175m above 10km, it will charge $0.10 instead of the previous $0.10 per 200m

See, they are smart enough to find out how much they need to adjust to milk u to the point where u dun die and yet constantly reach out to be milked some more...

I am so damn pissed already.

So Singaporeans whom are still being milked.... thanks for farking voting for farking progress.

Today, I will make it my personal mission to boycott taxis.

To make my point that Govt must take care of the public that voted for them... and not ensure the interests of the companies that the govt had invested heavily in..

I humbly ask of you , dear reader, to join me too.

For the past few months, I walked about 2km so I can have 1 bus trip lesser.

Not because for exercise or for health sake... but for the fact that I choose not to be milked any further than necessary by these arms of govt.

I got only a few simple questions

1) Why increase transport hikes when SBS/SMRT are STILL MAKING RECORD PROFIT?
2) Do not increase taxi fares, instead lower the taxi rental fee. More ppl will take taxi, the taxi driver will earn more, not the companies directors.

The above solutions are from the avg ppl, hope the smart ass ppl understand it.

I think someone did mentioned before that there is no such thing as free lunch. I guess it applies to money as well. So, they are now taking IT back . . .

My middle finger to them.

Weeping Englishman and glorious Italianos

2006-07-02T17:57:00.000+08:00

And is this how a top English footballstar, supposedly a rolemodel for millions of aspiring young kids all over the world, should behave after gettin send off???

Venting your fustration on your own pysio is certaining not going to help your cause.

The players look like they've seen god descend from heaven.

Wake up ROOney, England is NEVER good enough for the world cup, red card or not.

Even your team mates are laughing at u. .

For those who believe in Statistics, ITALY is going to win the world cup this year. .

1970: Brazil (Latin America).

1974: Germany (Europe).

1978: Argentina (Latin America).

1982: Italy (Europe).

1986: Argentina (Latin America).

1990: Germany (Europe).

1994: Brazil (Latin America).

1998: France (Europe).

2002: Brazil (Latin America).

Which means there should be a European winner in 2006.

Portugal and France won't win it because both have aged midfield stars, an aging defence and goalkeepers who commit suicide with their teams' chances - one likes to punch the ball when he can catch it and enjoys being a spectator during free-kicks and corners while the other likes a sliding tackle when using his hands to get the ball would do just fine.

Germany can only win the World Cup on Odd Decades - they've won in the '50s (1954), '70s (1974) and '90s (1990). It's an Even Decade this year, so the World Cup is out of Germany's reach despite their having home advantage.

While there remains the possibility of a Euro 2008 success for Italy, there's another important determining factor - a match-fixing scandal.

In 1982, Italy rocked by match-fixing scandal but they won the World Cup..

This year is also same... so Italy got history going for them...

OOh. .and one more important factor to note. .

In the year of the Dog since the start of World Cup, only 2 countries win the World Cup.

Brazil & Italy.

Brazil's out, so the winner should be Italy.

We the citizens of Singapore

By Asha Popaptlal, Channel NewsAsia

SINGAPORE : National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan has rejected Mr Chiam See Tong's request for $80m as money for upgrading in the Potong Pasir constituency.

Mr Chiam wrote to Mr Mah last Wednesday asking how he could get access to these funds as his town council was planning improvement works, especially lift upgrading.

But Mr Mah said Mr Chiam should proceed, using his own town council's funds.

In his reply to Mr Chiam, which was copied to media, Mr Mah explained that the $80m upgrading package was proposed by PAP candidate Sitoh Yih Pin as his plan for the constituency if he was elected.

Since the majority of Potong Pasir voters rejected Mr Sitoh and his plan, Mr Mah said the issue of funding no longer arises.

He added that as Mr Chiam claimed during the election campaign that the Potong Pasir Town Council had enough funds to do lift upgrading for all the blocks in his constituency over the next five years, he should therefore proceed to do so.

- CNA /ls

PAP wake up ur farking idea.

Yes i Mean U Lee Hsien Loong and other wayang wayang ministers!!

You are elected to serve us SINGAPORE!!!Isn't Potong Pasir part of Singapore??Then why are they deprive off the upgrading funds??

The funds belong to you all ah isit suka suka don't want to give then dun give.Like that Potong Pasir residents also can suka suka don't pay tax??

Still dare to give what crap vision for singapore what racial harmony what advanced together singapore...advanced ki lan lah how to advanced together when Potong Pasir are left behind in development thanks to your party selfish and kiasu attitude.

Stop hoarding all those upgrading funds like Your Money when it is contributed from the citizens taxes and don't give a bullshi+ about Potong Pasir buildings are not so old so can wait for next time then upgrade..

SHE was a new face representing the People's Action Party, but when Ms Denise Phua surfed the Internet during the recent General Election, the tone of the postings stunned her.

They were overwhelmingly slanted against the ruling party.

"I know that something has gone wrong when more than 85 per cent (of the traffic) writes negatively about the PAP," she said at a post-mortem of the GE organised last night by the National University of Singapore Society.

"This is something that the PAP would do well to take into account ... and to manage this channel of communication," she added.

This pap lady finally discovered internet. progress. Her speech is so 60s, does she take internet users as sheeps waiting to be herd?

But I guess the only effective way to "manage" is to learn from PRC, build a nationwide great firewall, filter the keywords, block the sites, make it as a super local area network, and then we will be much closer to the bottem of the list instead of 140th only.

Come on, the internet was designed to be able to withstand nuclear attack.

If gov want to control it, the only way is to pull the plug from singtel and starhub. That is like using a tank to crack a nut.

Fuck. .not happy go ban internet and sue everyone to jail la!!

Creative is pointing its legal guns at Apple and hopes that the U.S. International Trade Commission will issue an injunction against Apple that keeps the company from selling the Ipod portable media player in the U.S. Creative also filed a suit that seeks damages for "willful" patent infringement.

Face it Mr. Sim,

Apple > you.

The move of a desperate company. One that is bleeding money.

Yay.. boring.

Efficiency

2006-05-08T18:40:00.000+08:00

Today a man got arrested for forgetting to hand in his consent form. It invoke a small argument with a civil servant which lasted less than 5 minutes.

The civil servant was not happy and lodge a complaint and the police efficiently arrested the man with the problem form.

It was the most efficient police operation Singaporeans ever seen.

From then on, Singaporeans started a new fashion of lodging police complaints after every argument.

Wife report husband and vice versa. Employer and Employee.

Friends. Army Buddies. Students. Kindergarten kids, neighbours, family members etc.

Because of the overwhelming police complaints over the slightest arguments, Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng decided to add 2000 more policemen to the police force.

He said "well , it looks like this new fashion contributed to job creation. The funds needed to pay the new policemen will come from the money use to bail people after every arrest which is quite often."

He added" Every day, we receive an average of 1000 police complaints and arrest and that is alot of money, it is a win-win situation for the government"

He is very happy Singaporeans trust the police more by engaging police services more often. he hope this trend will last.

He said: " It was like the trend that started in 1990s after an election whereby Singaporeans had to threaten each other to reach its objectives, this time I am happy this election produce a new trend in Singapore society"

He urge Singaporeans to keep it up.

In entertainment news, homegrown filmmaker Lee Khaw Wong scored a hit with the box office with his remake of the hollywood blockbuster "Minority Report".

Rakin in S$500,000 on the openin day, it has surpassed all other local films opening day takings so far.

End of Report

Media Cocks

2006-05-07T02:29:00.000+08:00

Watching the Result on Mediacock really pissed me off!

They keep cutting off the speech or interview of the opposition especially Low and Chiam's. But they let the ~~cow~~ Khaw talk cock for so long about cycling!

You are bringing shame to your profession, Singapore journalists. You have detoured the route to the goal you've set out the day you decided to go into journalism. You are reporting what some ~~political party~~"people" want you to report, but not reporting what you SHOULD be reporting.

In Singapore? You "people" don't even dare to post a photo showing the crowd at the Workers Party's rally, taken from the higher floor of the building. Instead, you "people" posted some pathetic front view shots of a very small section of the actual crowd, fearing some high handed pressure.

You gave good exposures to the "big bosses" but gave limited or no exposures to those in the opposite direction. Where is the fairness in reporting? Where is the justice?

This is taken from one of the comments left on of of my earlier post

Did you know I was surfing an American news site once, and the Straits Times was listed there as "Singapore's pro-government daily"? It was the ONLY paper that was so derogatorily described! My god! Even other countries are clued in as to how biased the ST is!

Let me repeat myself, Singapore journalists, you are bringing shame to your profession, you are bringing shame to yourselves, and you are bringing shame to your families.

Three Cheers to Hougang and Potong Pasir Singaporean...

U can behave like a real Singaporean the next 4 years!

T.T. Durai's salary - $600,000

Goh Chok Tong's salary - $1,200,000

PAP's upgrading funds - $100,000,000

HOUGANG - PRICELESS!!!!!!!

THERE ARE SOME THINGS MONEY CAN'T BUY!!!

It reads:
Singaporeans got GUTS
Hougangger got even MORE GUTS

Literally it means, The Inn of Dragon Gate Will Rise In Power, it is a reference to the Inn mentioned in Chinese sword fighting novels where lots of highly skilled and mostly jaded righteous fighters seek refuge.

But figuratively, it means that justice and righteousness will triump.

So as we all know PAP has won.

The figure is scary....will the next few year be, "fixing" and "buying supporters time"???

1. AMK - honest, I never expect the WP to win, but the percentage in which the WP young team speaks volume.

2. ALjunied....so close for the WP, and yet so far!!

3......the rest, guess the CHIKUS, DURIANS, MANGOES, MONGOSTEENS are just not ripe for picking...

sigh!....we are back to the same 2, but overall PAP reduced....to a scary number, for the moment:

66.6% of the total valid votes...
ah...666...dunno coincidence or not...
666 as written in the testament. one of the messiah of the devil.......so better watch out.

Increases will come soon....and more progressive packages...you bet!

As usual, our 14oth Media lives up to its name again.

Bastard media!Communist Propaganda shit...Farking press that will never top within the hundredth.All sinners!

And finally. .

God Bless Mr Low Thia Khiang and Mr Chiam See Tong. .KEEP THE FAITH

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!

Musings of a Small Fry

2006-05-03T00:07:00.000+08:00

Catching up on the election campaigns of the various parties on the internet and attending the various rallies, I really can't stomache the bullying attitude the PAPs have towards other parties or organisations' views or ideas.

The ideas might be irrevelant or even outright stupid, but is there a need for them to be so strongly rebuked and ridiculed?

They might not be top scholars but sometimes the most stupid of creatures can come up with a simple but good idea that geniuses just missed! What I ask for is the PAP to treat the other non-PAP candidates as equals, not as donkeys or terrorists.

How many PAP MPs do you need to change a light blub?

What is a strong mandate? How do you define a strong mandate?

The recent acticle which Dr Balaji promises lower healthcare costs if PAP given strong mandate.

This digusted me greatly, it's like a threat.

And what's more the condition is vauge. If PAP won 83 out of 84 seats it might not be a strong enough mandate for them and they can with their twisted iogic could grandly tell us the rising health cost is our own fault. A lose-lose sitaution.

Picking on the shortcomings of other candidates is part and parcel of politics.

However, the media is really overbiased.

15 mins of Mr Gomez for a couple of days running is really too much. If any Singaporean won a Nobel prize, I seriously need doubt he/she would have more media coverage than Mr Gomez (....unless he/she is a PAP candiate}. I understand the press is under the government, surely you don't want your career to be on the line. However, I still appeal that fair and decent reports to all parties.

The local press is ranked 140th out of 167 countries, which is really a disgrace to Singapore. They might as well say they are the PAP's newsletter for the elections. If they dare, they can jolly well put this picture on the front page of their ~~Singapore Thrash~~Straits Times.

On the "upgrading" issue, I can't really see why residents of non-PAP wards should be punished.

In fact,it's PAP's failure to field their better candidates in the those wards which gave the voters no choice but to turn to Mr Chaim and Mr Low. Maybe, PAP should consider fielding one of those "minister caliber" newcomers there so as to oust the imcumbant and at the same time show their mettle.

p.s: I have no political links,agenda or whatever.

In Mr Brown's words, this post does not contain "persistent political content" because that is prohibited during the election period under the Singapore's Election Advertising Regulations.

Going Crazy

2006-04-28T23:10:00.000+08:00

Ever since the day you went away and left me lonely and cold
My life just hasn't been the same ohh baby, nooo
When I looked into your eyes the moment that I let you go
I just broke down

Baby if I ever get the chance to be with you again I would sacrifice
Cuz the feeling that I feel within
No other woman would ever make me feel so right
Its nice to smile when I get your phone call at night
But I'd rather have you here with me, right next to me
I miss the way you hold me tight

2 years have passed and I still miss you as much.

Happy Birthday Baby.

The extreme state of elitism would probably explain why JC kids are committing suicide over the most trivial stuff which a Poly and ITE student would not....

Like having a small penis.

(JC student kills himself, convinced his private parts were too small, Straits Times, 19-04-2006)

This generalisation is a little far fetched. Even by the average, you can't determine who's more competent (if the context of better is used in such a manner) by the choice of education.

In short, is this defamatory? Can sue?(sorry, the mood is in the air...)

Public Beta Software Enables Intel-based Macs to Run Windows XP

http://www.apple.com/pr/library/200...05bootcamp.html

God bless Steve Jobs. One more reason to get a Mac.

He's like a Knight in shining armour comin to the rescue of the damsel in distress. Actually, Gates is going to take over the world at this rate if PCs AND Macs are running Windows.

Apple stock went up 15% (US$4+) after this annoncement! This is BIG news in the PC industry. HP & Dell are in trouble now.

So congrats to all new mac switchers with intel-duo macintosh, Santa is early this year.

But of cos theres always a risk of running into this. ..

幸福

2006-04-01T13:07:00.000+08:00

有否试过，日日夜夜的催眠自己，不去想、不去想、不可以想。

有些事情，我们日日夜夜的逃避著。

真的以为，不去想了、没想起了，就等于忘记了。可是，当那颗小火苗飞过时，回忆的火焰一触即发，凄酸难受无可收拾。

解决方法只有一种：
“没有理由要放弃今时眼前的幸福，跑会过去的苦难中啊！太白痴了！”

相通了，就把回忆的大火扑灭，继续自我催眠。千万别再想起啊！

原来很多事情并不是忘掉了，而是勉强把它们藏了起来。只有这样，才不会笨莽的去摧残自己的幸福。

Of fishes, corals, turtle, dolphins, and a very narcissistic me!

Women-only coaches will foil perverts

The New Paper
March 22, 2006

TAN Mae Lynn's report on camera-phone perverts in trains, 'Click, and stranger on train takes home photo of her chest' (The New Paper, 19 Mar) is a reflection of the many sickos we have in our midst.

One effective solution would be to designate a couple of train coaches exclusively for women.

Japan has done this and I think it is a good move.
- C. Alicia

I am more further convinced that SOME SG women getting more absurd. they have their way far too much .

That woman makes it look as though there is a pervert on every bus and that a pervert is always male.

I recommend to the Govt that female's MRT fares be raised. ( Of cos, males fares wil remain same) They demand their own private coach specially to themselves, its natural they pay extra premium for extra service.

Don't be a moron to suggest ideas that will increase the cost of living further just becos some miniority mini skirts and low-cuts got photographed.

Have the common sense to wear more clothes to protect urself.

Arbo learn from those middle east countries lah..
All the women wrap themselves up like bak zhang like that..regardless of weather.
You wrap until like bak zhang can only see the eyes..who wanna snap at you?

SOME women..just dun think.

The writer mus be some no life spinster where no1 bothers to take a 2nd look @ her n is still a virgin.
Think her brain is the size of her nipple !!

okok. .in any case, I still love my women!!
Disclaimer: I DO NOT condorn such perverted acts of photographing and invadin the privacy of women and men alike. Its just that this woman is obviously trying to push her luck to the limit!!

In less than 24 hours, I will be doing this!!!

*Wish me luck*

Band of Brothers

2006-03-20T23:03:00.000+08:00

Everyone has their own story, and today i am goin to tell you my story.

Its a story about how a group of 19 years old got together and lived out their own verion of "Band of Brothers"

Yes, my NS life.

It certainly wasnt a bed of roses and it normally follows the flow where intially u feel very bad, but then slowly adapt and get used to things, to feeling bad again because time pass so fast and soon u are leaving NS.. of cos the initial feeling is the worse.

BMT in tekong, Unit life in Dieppe Barracks as a Guardsman.

For me, even i hated army/ns, it was a good trainin ground for me. I learned alot of skills tat i wud neve have learn outside. And for the Experiences.

Guard-of-honoour for NDP, Heli-Ops, fieldcamp, routemarch . .all these things are once in a life type of experiences.

More importantly, amidst the hardship, i got loads of fun.. we chiong together, play together and suffer together.. just like a big family.. everytime when we are out in field, we will tok abt where to go when book out.. go where eat and watch movie lar.

In the 2 short years, the people that you stay with, the people that I chiong sua with, all the dirt and sweat, I certainly miss the times after I ord.

True there may b hard times n saddening moments but it's all part of life... These r experience to learn frm n look back at wif a laugh... But think of the good things like true friends, sweat n laughter, pride, responsibility, acheivements n precious moments... All is worthwhile...

It's been almost 2yrs since my ORD, n things seems like it was back then... Friends get together, fun shared among us n problem shouldered together too...

Cant wait for my ICT in june.
Its like enlistment-training-exercise-ORD all squeeze together in a 2-week package.

Shiok!

"only out in the field, we can see true friends.. even how tired they are they will give u a hand when u need.. "

Music from your head

2006-03-17T17:02:00.000+08:00

You know every once in a while you'll be obssessed with a piece of music.

It keeps coming to your head.

Drumming above your head all the time, be it while you're walking, taking a poo, dozing, on the MRT, taking your exam, during your work, having sex, etc.

You have this urge to listen to it constantly. And then suddenly, without rhyme or reason, that obssession goes way. Only to make way for the next piece of music to go thru the same cycle all over again...

What's your 'that piece of music' right now?

Today marks the end of another crazy week. . .but of coz there are the super duper weekends to look forward to!!

Cant wait!!

1 Year

Foreigner is king

PAP is king.

Gimme my cable TV anyday.

或许。。maybe

2006-03-07T22:52:00.000+08:00

或许
我根本不该来到这个世界上
因为没人爱我

或许
我根本不该和你开始
因为你不爱我

或许
我根本不该接受你
因为我不爱你

或许
这根本就是个错误
因为我太多因为了

2006-02-23T22:43:00.000+08:00

As you get older, you realise...

...that it's ok to ask for help. No man (or woman) is an island, so rather than wallow in self-pity, throw up your arms and scream for a hand.

...that it's ok to be selfish. There comes a time when you have to put yourself at the centre of your universe, and the time is now. Be fair to yourself. Heck, even God's selfish; He wants you to worship Him, and only Him. So who are you to go against the will of God?

...that it's ok to fail. Just as long as you learn from it. In fact, every fall is a step towards success. So go forth and fail!

...that it's ok to be frivolous. The world's complicated enough, why add to the confusion? Take pleasure from the simple things in life. We weren't biologically built to worry about our mortgages you know?

...that it's ok to take a break. The brain's a wonderous machine, but your noodle, like all good machines, can and will burn out. So close your eyes and take a deep, deep breath. Tell yourself, "Tonight, I'm going to do nothing. Nothing is good. Nothing is rest."

...that it's ok to be you.

Are you ok with it??

心情、心晴

2006-02-22T23:05:00.000+08:00

这段期间, 我突然消失了。

那是因为，我躲起来了。

很感激大家还会不时回来查看，看我何时继续写我的网上日记。

有好几个人问我，是不是和女朋友分手了。是的。

我们分手了。

我不会做任何解释，因为这是我的私事。我也不会说是谁与谁分手，因为已经不重要了。

我宣布这件事，是因为我不想以后有什么人再问我关于我们的事。

伤心不能改变任何事，只会加重事情的严重性。

可是我知道，我会站起来。我会继续快乐。

我更会祝福她永远快乐，而且找到一个最适合她的男朋友。

我现在只有很深、很深的懊悔，但我知道已无法改变任何事实了。

我承认，这一切都是我的错。

现在的下场就是我的惩罚。

我认了。

真的非常感激所有陪在我身旁的朋友们。

就像我今天的题目一样，我的心情，已经转晴了。

我会从新过回我一个人的精彩，因为。。。

一个人的我，依然会微笑。

My funeral

2006-02-08T00:10:00.000+08:00

Another bites the dust.

Last week, one of my neighbours living on the 10th Floor passed away. Its sad, but death is a inevitable part of life.

Havin attended 4 funerals all my life so far, I have come to terms that life is fragile.

One moment, I am kicking with life - the next moment, you will find me resting inside a yellow tent at the foot of my block. I told SQ befor, I hate that...not because of death but rather what people would do to me when I am gone. Here are some of those things that I would rather like to have for my funeral:

1) I have never slept in the void deck - and will never. So never put me to rest at my house void deck. It is so upsetting to spend my "goodbye hours" at the cold, hard concrete void deck. I mean the void deck is for those "relac-one-corner" malays to strum their guitar and play their soccer, not for a dead person to spend his finals hours on this earth.

2) No fancy monks chanting songs or some strange Tao-performance (like throwing paper money or Chingay Road Parade), please!

3) Obituaries. At first, I wondered why people "advertise" the death annoucement of their loved ones? Why spent that money... But then, I realised it may be good - so that such "advertisement" will disclaim my loved ones from any creditors / ex-girlfriends / ~~unlisted sons and daughters~~ I may have out there.
(Acceptance of artwork: Death Cert + Freehand file. 1000, Toa Payoh North. News Centre. Credit cards or cash.)

4) Music. Keep them playing in my house 5.1 system. What kind of music... So simple, play those I have in my laptop. Check my itunes.

5) Food. No preference. Just no smoking. ooh, and no alcoholic drinks. .sorry pals

6) Visitors. Okay, this is quite tricky. Cos' my house is small - so I have to be very selective. Please dun invite people that I dun know or have any direct relationship with.I will kinda freak out. I am not a saint or a public-figure...Just my family members, friends and loved ones.

7) Gifts. No blankets, no flowers. Send chocolate, tour packages (for my familiy to chill out/recover), farewell cards (write about how bad/good I have impacted your life), photographs of picture we have taken together (get a big AO cork-sheet board and stick it up), $50/visitor,etc. In return, you can take any 1 item from my collections (xbox games, toys, books, DVDs, CDs, gadgets ~~and my porn collections~~) as door-gifts after the funeral. Jus dont snatch from each other

9) Attire. Please come in like you are attending a church wedding. It is rude not to RSVP.

10) Bury or Burn? Neither, I dun know, I leave that to myfamily. Cos' I am fearful of fire-burns and decaying bites by awful worms and maggots. Dun mummify me too. It is so unglam.

I will want to leave a peaceful piece of me behind...unburned or decayed. Just keep my memories and voices alive. (Invest in a LCD and store some video footages of me. When some one press the button on the tomb stone, the LCD will be turned on and play the footage.)

Keep a chunk of my hair, tied it nicely and suspend it a air-tight 7cm glass tube vessel. Make it zen, okay. Who knows, they may clone me (from my hair) again in centuries to come.

No matter how my body is being treated after the final day. Just place it near my family and loved ones. I hate to be lonely. (Dun throw my ashes into the big sea - I am not that romantic! I will kill you if you did. You can consider spreading my ashes at Orchard, Yishun, East Coast - my favourite haunts). Make sure you choose a nice scripture for my tombstone. Use font "Arial", size 20 for the writing - "In Memory of Eugene".

We have always been working hard for our life..but give so much little effort for our death. Most time, we troubled our loved ones to prepare for our death. I guess, it may be good if we spend some time doing a "to-do" list for ourselves. Life is so magical. So, let death be easy and well-remembered.

Hog's Breath Cafe

2006-02-06T21:58:00.000+08:00

I decided to check out this Hog's Breath Cafe

that I saw on 好吃王 aka Makan King on Channel U... it's located at Chijmes just opposite Raffles City.

Met the girlfriend and we got there around 7pm. There wasn't too crowded, only a few folks, was thinking if it would get more crowded later. It has a cow-boy, rodeo setting, very nice. It has pictures of these cute little pigs hangin all around.

I tell you, service there is TOP-NOTCH! Friendly without being over-zealous. We even had our own personal server!

Was greeted by one of the staff who directed us to our seats, he then handed us the menu and explained to us the different steaks/prime ribs available and whats gd and nice.

lo and behold !! My Lamb-shack topped with the nicest and bestest gravy i ever tasted!!! V V V good!!!! Even the mashed potato is heavenly! The meat is soft and tender. It literally jus melt in your mouth. All it takes are a few chews to savour the full favours of the meat.

The girlfriend had dory-fish with honey-mustard prawns! The prawns are jus orgasm-inducing stuff!! U must ty it to experience it yourself!

The portions I must say are huge! Even a big-eater like me got quite full after i was half-way thru.

Just when we thought thats about it, the waiter recommended *deng deng deng deng* DESSERTS!!!

Apple Crumbles!!!

Wa lao! Its damn damn damn damn good can!!! Check out the sauce at the base of the plate!! Its the soul of this whole dessert!
Forget NYDCs, Olio-Domes, Border's Cafes desserts. .this one beats em ALL!!

Summing up my experience, in 好吃王's word. . . ..

万得福!!

wonderful!

But of couse, it was dining with YOU that made it even all that more special!! ;)

Prophet Muhammad

2006-02-02T23:33:00.000+08:00

Yall aware of the outrage/furore now 'raging' in Europe/Middle East?

This Danish newspaper published a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad. The outrage was the bomb that was part of the turban in the cartoon; the fuss was that the cartoon seems to suggest that Islam = terrorism, something like that. So now ar, Muslims are boycotting Danish goods and services in the Middle East. Heard quite jia lat now. Actually the main thing was over the usage of the caricature of Prophet Muhammad. Muslims do not like their prophet to be anyhow depicted, especially as a cartoon.

I think quite powers this controversy. Cos day and night BBC like broadcasting non stop about this issue. What I heard was, subsequently the cartoon was published in other newspapers in France and Italy, etc.

The gd news is that the Danish editors have already publicly apologised over this matter mah, citing it's not against their law in their own country, but not aware it would cause dissent and uproar to the muslims...something like dat.

But damage has already been done. i heard one supermarket even took out all its danish products as a sign of boycott.

Haizz. . these ppl are just itching to get some planes crashing in their countries ah...

As much as i love my danish cookies, its a case of dumbasses who've no respect to other ppls religious beliefs.

No doubt abt tat.

Peace all

That Drug Addict Ad on TV

2006-02-01T23:45:00.000+08:00

Drug Addict(DA): How much does a pill cost?
Drug Peddler(DP): 50 Buckaroos

*Pause*

DP: Your freedom, your pride, your health blah blah blah
DA: *Looks stunned*

I dun think such thing will happen lor, if the boss find out he surely kanna fired.
Everything so unrealistic, just like those Army/Navy/Airforce advertisments. .

Finally the holidays are ending!!
Yay!

Election

2006-01-25T21:52:00.000+08:00

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

this peeture make me laugh till PENG!

HAHAHAH

since S'poreans are too gutless to march onto the streets for a large scale protest over crappy policies, the next best thing to do would be to vote for the opposition.

At least they'll voice out if the govt tries to come out with some crap policy.

Just a gentle reminder of what our dearest PAP ministers & MPs have said in the past few years

"All NSmen are treated equally and are deployed in vocations and units based on SAF [$ingapore Armed Forces] operational requirements, their medical classification, and their academic and military performance. No NSmen has been accorded special privileges.

"Prior to year 2000, the term 'white horse' was used to identify sons of influential persons to ensure such enlistees were not given preferential treatment."

"Contrary to public perception, the White Horse classification is not to ensure that sons of influential men gets preferential treatment. Instead it is to ensure that they do not get preferential treatment."

"THE National Kidney Foundation (NKF) spends more than 80 per cent of its funds on its beneficiaries."

"Singaporeans have big hearts, and if you convince them of the worthiness of your causes, Singaporeans will open up their wallets"

First this
"We encourage people to express their views and to have a view. Our problem in is that many people don't really have a view."

then this

""Teens' white elephant T-shirt venture gets police attention"

Fickle-minded?

You decide.

This is really a insane post. Blame it on work.

Who's reading??

2006-01-24T20:38:00.000+08:00

Sorry for the lack of updates.

I need to take a census of my readers. Pls take the above poll ok? thanks a million.

Will be back. . soon

Meanwhile I leave you with this

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If Toyota had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that go 100 miles to the gallon."

TOYOTA:
In response to Bill's comments, TOYOTA issued a press release stating;

If Toyota had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be
driving cars with the following characteristics:

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have
to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason.
You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car,restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would
cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you
would have to reinstall the engine.

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was
reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would
run on only five percent of the roads.

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would
all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal
Operation" warning light.

7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you
out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the
door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to
learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would
operate in the same manner as the old car.

10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off

4 Peanuts

2006-01-19T13:40:00.000+08:00

President's annual salary adjusted to $2.5 million

Source
PARLIAMENT has approved an increase in the President's salary, which is also known as the Privy Purse, for the fiscal year 2005.

The salary will be revised to $2,507,200, an increase of $114,900 from the last adjustment in February last year.

A Ministry of Finance spokesperson said that the bonuses are higher because the economy has performed better than expected.

One month before that, Parliament had approved a $247,100 wage rise for the President, also in view of the restoration of cuts to his salary as well as higher projected bonuses.

In both those instances, changes had also been made to the other provisions under the Civil List, which specifies his allowance, the expenses of the Istana and the salaries of personal staff.

No other changes were proposed on Tuesday. The total expenditure in Class 1 of the Act, which consists of the Privy Purse, entertainment allowance and the Acting President's allowance, now stands at $2,627,800.

Anyone needs a godfather?

2500000/600000

Roughly 4 peanuts.
Now, i know why that who-who-who wife say $600k is a peasnut. Its really peasnut to them...

Thats about 200k per month..wonder what he needs to pay ...i think no need pay electricity, transport, food? Its almost everything for leisure!

Maybe my humble calculations can justify his pay. .
Postulate 1: Knowledge is power.
Postulate 2: Time is money.

As every engineer knows:
Power = Work/Time

And since
Knowledge = Power and Time = Money

It is therefore true that
Knowledge = Work/Money.

Solving for Money, we get:
Money = Work/Knowledge

Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity, regardless of the amount of work done. .agree?

And for those interested to know...the comparsions in pay....

PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH - $400,000.00 (0.4 mil)

PRESIDENT NATHAN - $2,500,000.00 (2.5 mil)

NS is Killing S'poreans!!

2006-01-16T23:28:00.000+08:00

As a small business owner who intends to support the employment of NSmen and Singaporeans, I am often forced to consider Permanent Resident passholders as they do not have to do reservist training.

Many NSmen have to attend three weeks of in-camp training yearly and this is very disruptive to a small business.

A business employs a person for his contribution to the company and while it does not have to pay the NSmen salary (it still has to contribute to the CPF), the company loses its potential income for the period of training.

Many companies will typically pay NSmen higher than PRs, but because of the 'disincentive', it is no longer viable. Larger companies can probably absorb the 'losses' but for how long and how many NSmen do they employ? Has it become more attractive to employ PRs or workers other than NSmen?

NSmen are essential for the security of our country but has the system put a penalty on our NSmen and turn them into a liability, especially to small companies?

Have the SAF studied various methods to compress the training and reduce the training period to reduce to the minimum the disruption to businesses?

Have the military men gone overboard with their plans for training to increase their importance without taking into consideration the economics involved?

In the first place, can these military men empathise with the business world when they have not operated a business in their lifetime?

Our employee with the 427th SAR recently went for a two-day stint that involved rehearsals for a parade to welcome the new commanding officer. Essential? You decide?

To all guys here i can roughly tell u all wat will be the reply from ~~Min-DEAF~~ MINDEF liao, that they recognize the problem and have since taken steps such as shorting ns cycle from 13yrs to 10 yrs blah blah but it WILL NOT solve the problem nor explain it, of call-ups which are totally unneccesary. oh wait. .and the reply will always end with "thank you for your continue support of NS" ...... lying basturds

The name of "Budget Terminal"

2006-01-12T09:40:00.000+08:00

they hosted a competition

they gave the winner $2000 and a handphone worth 1000 over bucks

they asked contestant to use their imagination, their creativity, their literature skill, to think of a good, nice, creative name for the new changi terminal 4, supposed to serve budget airlines

and the end, the name that won the competition is BUDGET TERMINAL... wtf, this is creative, imaginary?

can someone refresh my memory? correct me if i am wrong.
there was a simliar competition not too long ago; giving the Marina South a name....after spending $400k...the name decided is . . . .well . .still Marina Bay....think some ang mo walk away laughing all the way to the bank.

i guessed there must be 1001 entries with budget terminal and the lucky one got picked... Today (the newspaper) reported that there're 44 entries which suggested "Budget Terminal" as the name. However, the boy got the prize bcoz his reasoning for suggesting the name is the best among the 44 entries and this sort of name naming competition has definitely ruffled some feathers along the way.

If u ask me i will probably call it No-Frills Terminal (NFT). Sounds even better then budget terminal.... then can sell all those no-frill brand groceries. Wait a minute. . .why not 'NO SIGNBOARD TERMINAL'? THen can ask the no signboard seafood to set up a branch there as well. .and sell our famous black pepper crab to the tourists!

Actually there is nothing wrong with the name "Budget Terminal", but something is wrong when it is chosen from a COMPETITION which was supposed to choose the most creative, imaginary....

And the cycle goes on. . . .

Exercise-Failure-on-a- rainy day

2006-01-08T23:24:00.000+08:00

LOL... you all watch CNA? ya..i wanna laugh...ppl just take their time to get out
but according to CNA, its "Everyone are calm and move in an orderly manner..."

Trust me, if its the right deal, we will be running like a bunch of headless chickens....

Who will go down to Marina Bay MRT @ 6.30am.
Nothing to eat, nothing to shop.
Go there so early for what.
Fly kite ahhh...

This exercise is a Joke.

Thks for the Government , create this Joke of the day.

On a serious note, I really doubt the effectiveness of such drills.

Even if it's the real thing people will think it's fake and carry on doing their stuff. This is the result of us having too many drills and too many exercises that we don't know when it's happening and when it's not.

I'll give you an example.

Most of us would have experience fire alarm in shoppin centres going off. Did anyone ever panic?? Not a single soul. That's what has happened to our society. We've become so numbed to the sound of alarms that we no longer take it seriously.

I'm sure you've experienced the scenario where the nationwide siren goes off and somehow or rather you didn't know that there was a drill that day. Did you bother to stop what you're doing and hide?

I certainly did not.

Kick Ass photos!!

My Boss

2006-01-04T00:02:00.000+08:00

A Great Boss

You communicate what I need to accomplish
Your expectations, and what being great looks like
This helps me succeed and my career flourish
And feeds my inner motivations and psyche.

Having you to talk to is important to me
Sometimes I just need to vent
It is comforting that you don't get angry
When I complain with good intent.

It is nice to win, to succeed, to prevail
In the face of huge-ass sized barriers
Thanks for ensuring we do not derail
On the way to becoming better people.

A great boss knows all these things
And makes team success a top priority
You make a difference and improve work's meaning
And for that I thank you whole heartedly!

I just have to say I am goin to lose a great boss, friend, mentor and colleague very soon.

To him, I would like to say a very big thank you for givng me the chance to prove myself and my worth.

You are the one that overlook my mistakes and compliment me for my work.

Thank you for imparting to me all your valuable experience and advices. I will always remember them in my heart.

Thank you for all the effort to motivate the whole team to work together.

Thank you for being the great boss, friend, mentor and colleague that you are.

You will b greatly missed. .

Regards,
Eugene

How was 2005 for you? For some, it was horrible but to some, "never-ending". And prehaps at times it appeared that this year has been difficult.

But to me, this year has been fantastic. I have never travelled so much in a single year, new job,made new friends, fallin in love all over again. .as I look back the year in pictures and remember the good times, come celebrate with me, as we usher in 2006.

Auld Lang Syne to 2005.

Let 2006 be the best year yet.

"Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little lord jesus
Lay down his sweet head
The stars in the sky
Look down where lay
The little lord jesus
Asleep in the hay

The cattle are lowing
The poor baby wakes
But little lord jesus
No crying he makes
I love thee lord jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle
Till morning is nigh"

Ways to punish TT Durex

2005-12-21T23:08:00.000+08:00

Since it all started with Durai cheating the public with bogus charity shows, we should end it with a charity show as well.

Durai should be force to perform stunts in a special NKF "TT Durai Great Escape -- Do or Die" charity show.

His stunt?

Play russian roulette with a revolver loaded with 5 rounds out of 6 bullet housings. Before every commercial break, he will point the gun at his head and pull the trigger once. If he survive that, blindfold him and order him to jump into a swimming pool filled with peanuts instead of water. Hope that some peanuts will be shaft up his asshole.

Still surviving?

He will be also be locked in a wooden cart, with only his head protruding out, and force to parade in Orchard Road. Public will be allow to throw rotten eggs, urine packets, shit etc... at him.

After that, He can spend 10 days in the same fish tank with our super ego-inflated Khoo SC.

Saving the best for the last. .

Exchange his good kidneys with that of a patient under dialysis .

In this way,he will have to undergo kidney dialysis for the rest of his life... WITH NO SUBSIDY!!!

Thats y i say indi**ns cannot be trusted. . . :p
