Gibberish... (Imported From Xanga)

The so-called [Black Friday]'s here again... Obviously, it's pure supersitition as I didn't encounter any extremely bad fortune today... The only hurdles today are all work-related issues and I'm not going to attribute it all to bad luck... If this is the case, then what lesson in life are we ever going to learn??? If whatever mistakes tt we made are all due to fate, it's akin to saying tt our life is dictated by another omnipotent being, that we're all dolls being manipulated... This is a fatalistic view on life even though to a limited extent, it's set in stone as to the environment we'll be living...

However, how we react to this external stimuli is all up to our own individual self... I do remember this 10/90 rule tt I've read in a e-mail @ work... It's said tt in any situation, 10% is what we can't control, which is the event tt's taking place, be it disastrous or otherwise... The remaining 90% though, refers to how we react to the situation which determines how it'll affect us... Therefore, no matter what happens, if we look @ it @ a positive view, our mood, mindset and thoughts will be affected as such...

As to why I'm typing all these, it's all due to work... I'll bitch abt all the unhappiness (it has already started)... But when I'm done bitching, all those probs will be some topics to get my mouth working... I'm determined not to let it affect me... I have to be optimistic!!!

Hmmm... The day's ending soon and tml will be [PJ]'s [College Day]... I'll be attending the event as I'm going back to collect a [Acdemic Achivement Award]... Hmmm... I do hope tt I'll be able to see some members of [The Gang]... It's been like ages since I've last seen any of them... LOL... Seems like I can't wait for another week before I can finally meet up with almost everyone to watch the latest [Harry Potter] movie...

I'll leave tt to some other entry... The other thing I wanna note is tt of the [Live Earth] concert... The [Chew On It] comic really make sense... By switching on the TV for the whole 24 hrs simply to watch the concert, more energy's being burnt... By holding concerts, more trash will be generated... To hell with the agenda... A concert is a concert... Ppl catch the concert live is to see their fav celeb perform... All in all, this contributes to the destruction on [Mother Nature]... Hmmm... Perhaps I've watch 1 too many episodes of [FMA]... Humanity have been using the resources on this planet for their own personal gain... It's time we pay the price... After all, it's all abt equivalent exchange... >_<

Escapism... (Imported From Xanga)

After not studying for quite some time, I feel as if my standard of English has gotten from bad to worse... Wait, scratch tt... My standard of English has worsen... From the C6 tt I've gotten during the 'A's, I guess if I were to take a test now, it would probably be a very terrible fail... It's funny... And ironic... In the past, I don't really like reading the papers... Not tt it'll get my fingers dirty or anything... It's just tt, my interest lies elsewhere... In gaming, to be more precise... Of course, most of the time, I'm doing all those homework and attempting to store all those facts and figures into my brain... However, now tt I've taken a hiatus from studying, I've finally realise the importance of keeping up with those 'current affairs'... Hence, I'm beginning to pick up the habit of reading the papers... After all, it's never to late for such things, right???

Tt's just one of the many reasons I'm weaving up to convince myself... There's also the reason of being more intellectual... As to which is the main reason, I'm not so sure of it myself... I do know 1 thing for certain though, is tt it's part of me trying to escape from being dictated from doing something...My dad wants me to practice [Qi Gong] on a frequent basis as well as to give my sis tuition during every weekend... In the end, I hardly have time for myself to be free of worries and everything and to really concentrate on something tt I like to do... Instead of being in jitters, fearing when will the scolding descend on me for not doing what he dictates tt I should do...

I don't have much time for myself in the past as well... But I don't have to worry so much in the past... The most I have to worry abt are my grades and tt's all there's to it... Yet when I've finally completed half the studying quest, I was denied of my reward... To really relax and to indulge in my gaming... I have been thinking abt this for quite some time already and I feel cheated... All those talks by my parents abt not playing so much when I'm studying or when the exams are near have never equate to me getting the 'play-all-I-want' card when I get the good grades tt I painstakingly slogged my life for... It's all a lie... A big damn lie... All they wanted is for me to stop staring @ the computer and do what they want me to do... Why can't they see tt I do not like giving my sis tuition??? Or tt I hate (note choice of word used here) practicing tt retarded [Qi Gong]??? I understand the former, yet I wonder why can't my sis be left to cope for herself??? Doing badly 3 times in [A-Maths] for the same topic doesn't mean tt she need tuition for the whole subject... Hell, I'm simply repeating what the textbook/ teacher said to her... Besides, I don't have anyone to help me in the family and I still could pull it off... She, on the other hand, still have me when she's in doubt... So I wonder what's with the routine... When I agreed to help her 3 yrs ago, I don't remember agreeing to help her for life... Gee... Now I feel cheated once agani by my dad...

As for the latter, it's his belief... And since I don't believe in it, why can't he see tt no matter how long or how often I practice tt thing, it ain't going to help... I seriously can't accept the fact tt sitting down and concentrating on our breathing is going to cure me of my imminent blindness... Rather, I feel tt he's dooming me instead... By constantly reminding me to practice as it might help slow down my retina degeneration when the last thing I would like to be reminded of is tt I'm going blind in the near future... It seems like almost every other day I'm reminded of my eye condition and if the next check-up yield even more disastraous results, kudos to my dad for worsening my eyesight...

Oh, and there's the issue of work too... Unlike in school, when you dislike a certain someone, you can ignore them and refuse to make contact with them... Or to reduce your oontact with them to a value tt's approaching 0... However, when you're in the working world, you have to play nice no matter what... All in the bid to prevent being knifed in the back... Don't misunderstand... I like going to work as much as I like to stare @ the conputer screen... @ least I could escape from all my worries... It's just tt the amt of acting you have to do when you're facing your superiors or you collegues and the fact tt I still have to do those act @ home tt's really tiring...

For once, I really wish I'm another person... One with confident, with guts to trash it out with ppl you do not like, to stand up for what you believe in, to be brave... Gosh, I'm so freaking tired... Mentally...

Despite all tt, my mind hasn't strayed from all those trashy imaginations tt I have thanks to all those books I've read... I'm not lamenting here, mind you... I like to imagine all those... It's how I keep myself sane - irony, again - from all those stress tt I have... It's another avenue of my escapism...

I have been reading a graphic novel... It's not manga... It's those English comic, only more mature in content... It's titled 'The Last Man'... There's issues such as gender discrimination, war, the environment, homosexuality as well as tons of other political issues in it... It's a really interesting book and what's keeping my in la-la land are not all those profound topics tt I've listed... Rather, it's more dumb... Before I tell you what I'm pre-occupied with, let's start with the intro... Like the title suggest, it's abt the last man on Earth trying to save humanity - with the help from a female doctor, a female govt. agent and his male monkey - from a plague tt wiped out all the males in the world except for he and his male monkey... Now, the issue tt's keeping me deep in thought is this: Most guys might be in cloud 9 to be the last male on Earth... It's as if Adam's being surrounded by millions of Eves... But it's not a really pleasant idea... Imagine trying to procreate like tt... I doubt the last male will even survive tt... LOL... ow shift the focus to me... What if I'm the last male on Earth??? I'll probably go mad... No more hunks to ogle @, no more guys to have a crush on... Not nice... Haha... >_<

*Sigh* I feel so much better after pouring out all those conflicting thoughts... I shall stop here for now and I haven't forgotten abt all those pics tt I'ev yet to post here... *Dodge behind some rocks* x_x

Alone... (Imported From Xanga)

Headed to [CauseWay Point] today all by myself to catch [Fantastic 4: Rise Of The Silver Surfer]... It's a nice movie... With decent amount of comical scenes here and there... 4 stars out of 5... Haha... I do like the [Human Torch]... Not tt he's good looking or anything... I like his abilities... Of course, the [Silver Surfer]'s powers' remarkable as well... And so is [Dr. Doom]'s... And [The Invisible Woman]... LOL... Tt's like practically everyone in the movie already... >_<

Anyway... I went there alone... It's not the 1st time tt I've gone to the movies by myself... If I didn't recall wrongly, the 1st time I started going to the movies alone was when [Mr. & Mrs. Smith] was screening in the cinemas... Tt's like quite some time ago and since then, I've no qualms abt it... Too dark??? Not a prob... Simply enter the cinema when it's still early and pick seats tt are easy to find... Not to forget to pick cinemas tt don't have too many steps as well, like those in [Jurong Entertainment Centre] and [JP]...

The next qus on everyone's mind will be, 'Why go alone???'... Some say it's pathetic as it's like a very miserable thing to do... I beg to differ... I can't find anyone to accompany me, so naturally, I decided tt tt's not going to deter me from catching the movie tt I really, really like... Hence, I went ahead with the plan... Moreover, to some extent, yes, it's miserable... But by doing so, I have the flexibility to go wherever, do whatever I want whenever I want... A thing which can't be accomplished when you're with friends...

I do agree tt having some ppl to accompany you is good... But with your close friends are all busy, I don't see why I should cancel my plans to watch a movie just because they can't make it... After all, my life doesn't revolve around them... Now some might suggest calling those not-so-close-friends... Tt's a even worse idea... Imagine asking them out to a movie... And then what??? Watch a movie and then say bye-bye??? Since they're not-so-close friends, common topics will be hard to come by and by not inviting them, I'm sparring myself the awkwardness tt's sure to follow should I really hang out with them...

Hmmm... After writing all those... I've come to realise tt I'm actually more anti-social then I care to admit... I'll leave it to you to decide if it's a good sign or not... After all, nothing can be totally good nor bad, be it in the short run or the long run...

LOL... I'm getting all reclusive not... I tell you, it's the not studying part tt's making me think so much... How I wish I could turn back time and make time stop @ the instant when I'm not only young @ heart, but really young... I longed for those carefree days tt are now gone forever...

*Sigh* It's only human nature to appreciate things only when they've lost them... Oh well... I shall now drown my soul in [FMA] and [RO]...

Btw, I'll upload pics in due time... Was busy in the past because of games and will be busy the coming week due to work commitments... Have to do OT for a couple of days next week... And I would like to thank [YL] once more for those wonderful sweets tt she bought for me from [FinLand]... It's really sweet of her to do tt... Tee-hee... *_*

P.S: Darn [imeen.com]... Most of the songs have been reduced to 30 sec previews... Darn them... =S

The World And I... (Imported From Xanga)

For 6 mths, I've been living in the adult world... And my conclusion is tt it's a real challenge for me to actually adapt, considering tt my adaptability quotient is rather low... I know, there's no such terms... But I'm trying to give a rating as to how well a person is able to adapt... So as to do standardisation... Of course, the scale is from 0 to 10... Or 0 to 100, depending on how precise you want it to be... And needless to say, 0 implies tt you're those hopeless case like the dinos in the Ice Age... While 100 means you're the roaches - totally adaptable and hence it's long life till now... For me??? I'll give myself a 45%, which translates to me being adaptable, but @ a slower rate as compare to nomral standards of 50%...

And it gets worse... With some major tranformations going on in my organisation, I've to re-adapt to the new environment once again... I say re-adapt because from the time I started working till now, I've switched appointments 2 times (in 6 mths!!!), switched working environment once... And now, I've to adapt to the new system tt's to be in place soon... Gee... Tt's a lot of changes tt's taking place in my life... Not to mention the even bigger change of student to adult life... I've no choice but to deal with it and I'm barely coping... My breaking point is near... I can feel it...

And to make matters worse, my head (not the one resting on my shoulders) is one demanding lady... She expects a lot from me as my appointment is the [Assistant Chief Clerk]... So what if I'm the [ACC]??? I don't know all the directives inside out and neither do I have the right to check who the heck gets posted in or out of the organisation... So how am I to make sure tt whatever notices tt's printed out is up to date??? Sure, it's checked by the [Chief Clerk] and if she didn't find any mistakes, I don't see why I should check it again... It's like you're not trusting a person who has a higher authority than you... Isn't tt a form of disrespect??? And if I'm not informed of the movement of personnels, how am I supposed to know abt tt??? Gee... And then there's the whole issue of spelling... If the computer didn't detect any errors, it's only natural tt I assume tt there's no error in spelling... After all, I'm no language expert, so I can't tell for sure if there's any spelling errors...

I shall stop rambling here and take care of those counter-arguments tt're bubbling in the minds of readers... Yes, I'm selected to hold this appointment due to my excellent 'A' Level grades... But this does not mean tt I'm good @ the language department... In case you haven't realise, I'm only good @ the scientific aspect of life... I accept facts and don't question it... If you say tt it's correct, I'll accept it unless you prove it otherwise... And being good @ science-related subjects, which for the record, makes a lot of assumptions, I'll tend to assume a lot... So if someone says tt some other person has been posted out (a hypothesis), I'll assume it's a fact as it's (1) from a higher authority and (2) the [Chief Clerk] - another person whose authority equally high - supports the hypothesis... Hence if you say otherwise, I fail to see why I'm the receiving end of some lectures as it's seriously not my fault to begin with...

Like I've mentioned earlier, I'm good @ science related issues... So when it comes to the language, god forbid I try to attempt to correct whatever tt's presented to me... I might end up making it worse... And once again, if the computer didn't detect any spelling errors, assunptions are made once again tt the work is flawless so again, I shouldn't be responsible for spelling errors... But I do admit to typo errors...

Last of all, the issue tt make my blood boils the most is tt I give you a document to sign, you call me to make changes, I made them and you leave the camp without signing... Tt's like so unfair!!! If in the 1st place you know tt you don't have much time to entertain me, then DON'T set me of to run in circles only to be back to square 1 30 mins later... It's a complete waste of my time to climb the stairs so many times and to rush for no absolute reason... Grrr...

I know, I have to deal with it... But heck... I really need to vent it somewhere... Of course, this little prob of mine, no matter how hugh it is, can't be compare to what [Earth] is suffering from... The results from global warming has finally surfaced after years of speculations of what it'll actually do... Cities are sinking, winter's getting shorter, plantation yields are off scheduled and mozzies are reproducing like amoebas... This is the price we have to pay to enjoy whatever we have now... Cars, excellant network of roads, nice buildings, unlimited internet access... We're giving the environment up in order to enjoy a better standard of living (alleged)... Quality of life is detoriating and so does the stadnard of living... We may be better off now in the short run... But in the long run, my 13 floor house will become the 1st floor... And I'll have the seaview right our of my window... Not a pretty sight to behold I tell you...

Once such things are put into perpective, let's just say tt everyone has their problems... It'll be over in no time... But when will the world's problems be solved??? *Ponders*

Cohesive Run... (Imported From Xanga)

A couple of mths ago, I went to [East Coast Park] for a run organised by my organisation... And today is the 2nd time tt I've took part in such events... I didn't participate willingly though... It's just tt the alternative of not participating in the run is much worse than running itself... To deploy me @ some water point and wait for the whole even to be over is hell for me as this would mean tt I'll be those few to be dismissed last... Which equates to reaching home @ a even later time... Uh-huh... Not good... So I opted for the run...

I know, some of you might think, why not apply some leave and relax @ home instead??? I could've done tt... But I feel dumb... Imagine... On a [Fri], you come all the way to work and then when it's lunch time, you leave back home... It's like, why bother to appear @ work anyway??? And then there's the other... To apply leave for the whole day... Tt make more sense... But then again, why waste 1 day of leave just to escape some run tt's actually beneficial to my health, considering tt I don't exercise much???

Thus, @ abt 1500 hrs, we headed towards the park @ the other end of this tiny little dot and the run's 7 km... For those preparing for the upcoming [Army Half Marathon]... For me to run tt distance would be suicidal... So I settled for a run/ walk combination... I ran abt, say, 2 km before walking all the way back to the start point... Therefore, effectively, I've covered abt 4 km... Which is a personal best as it's been a long time since I've actually used my legs for such long distance... The amt of calories burnt must be a record high... Heke... ^_^

Even though I was running alone, the sight of certain part of the park does bring back some really fond memories of the past few times tt I've been to there with [The Gang]... It's like I could literally see myself and everyone there riding their bikes... And of me and [Cass] riding the double bike... Of [JY] doing her rolling blading and falling... *Sugh* Those are the fond memories of the good old times... Wonder when will we ever do such things like tt again and actually be 1 big entity and have fun??? *Ponders*

Nostalgia aside, while I was running and walking, I was ppl gazing as well and since it's the sch hols... There're tons of teens around and some of the guys look hot... Note tt I'm using the word 'look'... This is because from afar, they do look like they're good-looking with those exposed tanned torsos and I'm short sighted anyway... >_< And then there's the problem of staring too intently @ them for too long... I'll be damned if they notice this weird guy tt's staring @ them... So I'm reduced to sneaking a peak once in a while to imagine their alleged good looks and tanned torsos... LOL... The degeneration of my mind is accelerating now tt I'm in an environment tt's dominated by guys... x_x

Oh well... Before I end off, I think I saw tt actor from [I Not Stupid], [Shawn Lee], today while I was @ [Lot 1] to fill my poor empty stomach tt's been grumbling ever since I've done the run... He's handsome... Tt's all I can say abt him... But he doesn't have tt innocence tt he has always portrayed in those movies... Gee... Which is like so predictable... After all, reel life is just tt... An act...

Friday!!! (Imported From Xanga)

YES!!! It's finally Friday!!! In the past, back in the days when I'm still studying, I didn't appreciate Fridays... Hell... With holidays, who cares if Friday's early dismissal day?! Of course, back in those JC days, Fridays are the most dreadful days in the week as my dismissal time's 1600 hrs... Zzz... One of the latest days in the week...

LOL... Then I was tossed into the working world shortly after my 'A's... And with no hols, Fridays are the best... As working hours are simply 0800 hrs to 1700 hrs... I know, 30 mins isn't a lot... But the alternative is worst isn't it??? Haha... Guess I've fully understood the expression TGIF...

Today's a special Friday... I've took the afternoon off to collect my school graduation cert... It's looks like a A4 report book consisting of your testimony, your results, your CCA achivements as well as the laminated cert... Didn't really take the whole afternoon to collect the cert as my house's well, is just a 30 mins bus ride away... So I headed to [Lot 1] to do some stoning in the library before I went to get my haircut @ those $10 10 mins salons before indulging in some pasta all my myself in [Pizza Hut]...

Some might think it's very pityful to be dining alone... Hell... They think it's pityful doing anything alone... But I'm totally cool with it... Well, most of the time actually... Some times, I do think it'll be better to have some company to chat and laugh with... But tt thought won't last very long as I'll enter into some stone mode and get lost in thought in my own fantasy world thinking abt everything @ once... Abt [RO], [MS], [YH], [SL], the gang, is there any guy tt nice looking, abt bumping into friends/ collegues/ enemies, etc... Till I'm effectively not thinking @ all... LOL...

But don't get me wrong... I'm thinking now... Thinking of what to write... Something tt won't bore you ppl... Which brings me to the 1 tiny article I chanced upon 2 days ago... It's abt [China] cutting some scenes in [POTC 3] due to - I'm NOT pulling your leg here - some horror scenes... The moment my eyes fell onto those few words, I couldn't stop myself from doing a double-take... I read the short article twice to ensure tt my eyes aren't playing trick on me... Now, if you tell me some scenes are cut becasue... ... Wait, I can't think of any reasons for cutting any scenes [POTC 3] is totally harmless... Yet the [Chinese] obviously think otherwise... Maybe the horror is of [Davy Jones]'s sotong face... The horror of seeing a face with so many writhing limbs... Gee... Then should [Greek] mythology (think [Xena], [Hercules]) shows be screened in [China], maybe a lot of scenes will be cut... Thanks to those double-headed dogs, snake-haired women, hundred-headed serpents, etc...

Oh man... My toes are still laughing from the memories of the article... And I know... You might now be thinking maybe it's the fighting scenes... Puh-leze... There's like so many fighting shows already... All those wu xia shows aren't scensored right??? So why should [POTC 3]??? And what's wrong with [Chow Yun Fat]??? The article reported tt some scenes are cut due to him... Maybe it's the scary looking scars on his head.... Uh-huh... Very frightening...

Still recovering from the laughter... LOL...

Gang Outing... (Imported From Xanga)

Watched [POTC 3: At World's End] early in the morning... It's the 2nd time tt I've woken up so early in the morning just to catch a movie... But @ least this time, [CCK] screens the movie... Thank goodness I double-checked the newspapers to confirm the theaters tt're screening the movie, or else I would be @ [PS] watching the 1035 hrs movie instead... Oh, the unreliability of the information found on the internet...

Anyway, I wouldn't say tt the movie is fantastic or anything... It's simply to wrap up the trilogy, nth much... Though [Jack Sparrow] is really hilarious to watch @... The way he runs, the way he handle situations... Somtimes I also wonder if he really has everything planned out... Or tt he just based it on pure luck to save his butt... Yupz... So tt's it... 2.5 outta 5 stars... Of course, hotties like [Orlando Bloom] doesn't really add marks to the overall rating of the movie... *Screams* [Orlando Bloom]'s hot!!! In this movie and in [LOTR] as well, of course...

Once the movie has ended, I met up with the rest of the gang and we headed to town, to [PS] to be exact... [Darrell] and I were on our own for most of the time as the girls decided to do some shopping of stuff tt are not meant for us to see... Leaving the 2 of us to hang out @ the arcade and to look @ ppl playing [Big Sweet Land]... Not tt's a sure win game... Provided tt you spend enough on the machine, obviously... You get to win tons of sweets (like what the name of the machine states) and, if you're patient enough, you can play till you win the jackpot, which is some soft toys tt you can probably get it @ [Mini Toons] for @ most $50... But heck... Who cares how much it cost??? The quality time you spend with your friends or your love ones to win tt toy is priceless...

All of us met up @ abt 1640 hrs as tt's when [JY]'s making her grand appearance... And we then head over to [Park Mall] (opposite [PS]) for an early dinner... We dined @ [QQ Mian] and I it's an okay place... The food's average (I'm being diplomatic as usual) and the prize is reasonable as well...

It's during this time tt the girls decided to give me my belated b-day present... I was a little taken aback as this is the 2nd time in the row tt I've received undergarments as presents... The 1st was even more shocking as it's not for my gender... Clearly, tt's meant to be a joke... I'm not expected to actually wear tt and this is not the pt... I'm shock this time round due to the typr of undergarment... No, it's not g-strings... But boxers... I've never worn those before and I'm a little weirded out... Hey... I do need time to adapt you know... When the enviornment suddenly get more airy... And I shall stop elaborating...

Then there's [XP] and [SH]'s combined present as well... A book - [Artimis Fowl]... Wasn't really a big fan of the book and I've only flipped through the other books in the series... But hey, you'll never know... It's a genre tt I like anyway...

Pity there's no photos of this outing, but there's always a next time... And I would like to thank everyone once more... For appearing as well as for the gifts as well... Thanks loads!!!

Laugh People, Laugh!!!
A business man entered a bar and as he was abt to order his drink from the bartender, he saw another guy ordering a tequila, gulped it down and jumped out of the window...

Shocked, he ran towards the window and peered down... But the man wasn't lying on the pavement way 20 stories down... Instead, tt man came walking into the bar without any scratch!!!

The businessman watched in disbelief as the man ordered another tequila, gulped it down and jumped through the window once more!!!

Flabbagasted, when the man returned to the bar without any scratches, the businessman approaced the man and asked, 'How did you do tt?!'

'Oh... It's the tequila... It's gives my body enough buyoancy tt such tt when I jumped down, I'll simply float to the ground...'

'Really?!' Exclaimed the businessman... Without missing a beat, he ordered a tequila, drank as fast as he could and jumped down the window...

A second later, a sickening 'SPLAT!!!' was heard as the businessman hit the pavement...

Heaving a sigh, the bartender turned to the man and scowled, 'Superman, you're a real jerk when you're drunk...'

Annual Affair... (Imported From Xanga)

Finally!!! I managed to catch [Spider-Man 3] @ last... I'll probably give the movie a 2.5 stars... Out of 5 of course... LOL... I'm being diplomatic as usual... I wouldn't say tt the movie is lousy or anything... The effects are cool and the fight scenes rocks... Of course, there are flaws as well... Like how can [Spidy] still have his face mask after it was yanked from him by [Venom] during the epic battle??? And what abt [Venom] itself??? How can something so small become so big??? To be able to form a suit... I'm just pointing out some of those questionable shoots... But with [Hollywood]'s logic, all these seems normal and frankly??? I don't really care abt those 'flaws'... I'm there to enjoy the story line and those special effects... But it's sad tt [Peter] didn't propose to [MJ]... I sort of expected it to happen @ the very end of the show to portray a 'happily ever after' ending... And [Venom] shouldn't really die... Oh well...

We caught the 1030 hrs show @ [Causeway Pt], so after the movie, we had lunch @ [Pastamania] before heading down to [SunTec] for the [World Book Fair]... This year though, the fair wasn't so spectacular... Probably because it's been there for like 6 days already and the buzz's dying... Or maybe because there's the PC show, diverting all the potential customers away... Who knows right???

Spend 2 hrs touring the whole exhibition and in the end, I bought a [Celestial Zone] mouse pad... I'm not gonna use it of course... It's for collection... If I dirty it or something, I'll be totally devastated... I'm so not joking here... Really... Of course, I also did buy a book... But it's not for myself... It's for a special someone and thankfully, [YH]'s there to share the cost... Heke... Reckon now you'll have a vague idea of who the gift is for already right??? *Grins*

A memorable day it is... And it'll be even better if I could've bought more for myself... I initially wanted to, but the book's abt boy love... Wow... A comic all abt boy love!!! Pity it's $30 and god forbid, it's not in English... Pitiful...

For Laughing...
While on a fishing trip one day, a woman took her husband's fishing boat out to sea in an attempt to read a book and to enjoy the scenery @ the same time...

Unknowingly though, the boat slowly drifted to the area tt's restricted from fishing... And so the patrolling officer have no choice but to interrupt the woman...

'Excuse madam, but I have to bring you back for questioning as you're fishing in the no-fishing area,' said the officer...

'But I'm not fishing!!!' Exclaimed the woman, irritated by the accusation...

'True, but you have all the equipments,' retorted the officer...

Angered, the woman replied, 'Fine, if you arrest me, I'll sue you for rape...'

'But I didn't do anything!!!' Exclaimed the shocked officer...

'True, but you have all the equipments...'

Impatient... (Imported From Xanga)

It's just 2 more days till the weekend and I can't wait for it to pass... I'm eager for the weekend to come... The time has finally come for me to watch [Spider-Man 3]... Yeah, I know... I'm slow... But if it's still screening, it doesn't really matter now, does it??? What's the point of being the 1st few thousands to watch the movie??? If you can even get good seats, then I'm fine with it... But if your luck is trashy and by squeezing to get into the theater, all you can manage is the front row seat, then it'll suck... Considering tt the movie is 2.5 hrs long... Good luck with the neck...

You can get to brag to everyone tt you've watched the movie, but overall, tt's just it... Unless you're those hard-core [Spider-Man] fan, then it's worth being no. 1 in trying to catch the movie... Otherwise, for those normal humans like me, you won't get any prizes or anything just by watching it 1st... Hence I'd prefer to wait for a while till the buzz subside before catching the movie... And this [Sat] is the day... Of course, I'm a little worried now cause I've checked online and [CCK] doesn't screen [SM 3]... Bummer... Worse, there's no forcast for [Sat]... Which means I've to wait till tml night to check out the time slots for the movie and decide on where to watch the movie...

And it's tricky becasue I'm bringing my sis along to watch the movie and after the movie, she's not tagging along for the [World Book Fair]... Therefore, I've to select a place tt's not too far off so tt she can head home by herself safely and the rest of us can head over to [SunTec] with ease... Oh well... With so many uncertainities, nth can be finalised now... I've no choice but to wait till tml before deciding on where to watch the movie, what time to catch it and where to have lunch...

I shall now officially wash my hands off planning the next gang's outing... It's not permanent... It's just tt I shall not be so dumb as to dedicate work to myself (in other words, shoot myself with a gold-plated arrow)... Off to maple world!!!

Rantings... (Imported From Xanga)

Intro: Like I've mentioned before, a short entry like this occurs only once in a blue moon and I believe that that moment has once again presented itself in this blog...

Body: Headed to [AMK Hub] and [Junction 8]... It's not on my own accord and being a person who doesn't see much purpose in shopping to kill time, it's a completely boring activity and despite how my parents seems to find tt both places are interesting, I'm really begging to differ here... The only amusing fact is tt for [AMK Hub], the shopping centre and the MRT station and the bus interchange are all merge into one big entity... And the bus interchange is air-conditioned... In the past, it would be cool to witness it 1st hand... But after today, I'm wondering why did I even think tt it's cool... It's not like you're going to camp in the bus interchange or anything... Furthermore, are we being spoilt by society??? Needing air-con everywhere we go??? A little humidity once in a while won't kill... Huh... The next thing you know, the whole country will be in a air-con dome, throwing us into eternal winter...

Of course, then there's dinner to complain as well... The whole family travelled all the way to [Bishan] just to have chicken rice... You'd think tt it's fantastic or famous or totally decilious, seeing the long queue and the effort my family went through just to try it out... Gee, if long queues is a gauge to how delicious a food is, then I bet [Mac], [KFC] and all the other fast food joints are the best food in the world, seeing that they always have long queues... Whatever...

As I was saying, I'd give the chicken rice a 2 stars outta 5... Their cold chicken speciality is just not to my taste... It gives me the impression tt the chicken has been left out in the open for too long or it could be the leftovers from yesterday... Okay, now I'm grossed out... Totally...

Conclusion: Given a choice b/w going out, get a chance to see more guys and staying home gaming, I'll choose the latter... Living in my own fantasy seems much more fulfilling as compared to wishing for some hunk to chat me up...

Jokes to light up anyone's mood...

Good: Your son is marrying someone...
Bad: It's another man...
Ugly: Your wife thinks he's cute too...

Good: Your daughter has found a job...
Bad: As a hooker...
Ugly: And she's earning more than you...
Nasty: Your collegues think she's a professional in her job...

Adults... =S (Imported From Xanga)

I'll try to keep this entry short as I can't wait to continue my fantasy in the world of [FFVII]... I'm living in my own fantasy, where my job is to save the world, kill monsters to earn money and become stronger... Instead of being in the real world where we have to study, earn money the hard way and get our souls sucked out of our body till we're just an empty shell as we work like mad...

I can't believe my [Dad]'s so oblivious to the fact tt I do not wanna practice qi gong... He's taking up lessons on tt and since it's beneficial, he's dragging all of us into it as well... What I'm trying to say is, if you like it, then go do it!!! My interest is in another realm from his and why must he drag me into his world?! No matter how much I tried to display my disinterested view, he just won't take no for an answer... Gee... Then what's the pt of telling me tt he's going to sign us up for those qi gong class?! No matter how I say I don't like it, he'll simply go on some long, boring speech on how I shouldn't be so close-minded... I should try it first... Yeah right... And waste more money...

Humph... And when I gave some non-committed answer to his demand tt I practice what he's preaching, his mind presumed tt I'm agreeing with whatever he's saying... It's the easiest way to blow him off instead of rejecting his idea and end up on the receiving end of a long speech again... Or I'm gonna get a scolding... Weird huh, getting a scolding just because my views are different from his... *shrugs*

Of course, now tt I mention tt, I remember the other time when I got a scolding from him when I refused to accept money from him as I have enough... Unbelievable right??? So I learn from tt and whenever he offers me money, I'll just take it, whether I'll use it is another issue altogether... Of course, just a couple of weeks back, when he offer me money and I simply took it - no questions asked, he was wondering why I'm different now... Not rejecting the offer anymore... Huh... I wonder why...

Zzz... Stubborn guy... And don't get me started on why I'm not practicing qi gong... It's a complete waste of time... I'd rather spend those time on gaming or reading my novel then sitting there, concentrating on my breathing and directing my 'qi' to where my body needed it most... It's damn uncomfortable to sit for 30 mins and not do anything...

Irresponsibility... (Imported From Xanga)

I'm totally peeved... What is this organisation trying to promote??? Sure... They keep saying tt @ the end of our liability, we boys will become men, learning responsibility, teamwork, blah, blah, blah... But tt's a lie I tell you... Instilling responsibility through discipline is not going to work... Making us report on time by threatening us with extra duties might work for ppl higher ranks, with authority... Yet when left alone, will those guys be on time??? Definitely not as there's no one to reprimand them, discipline them...

Why am I typing all this??? Well, 2 days ago was my usual duty... I have no qualms doing my duty on a [Friday]... Heck, I kinda like it... @ least I need not work the next day... I can get my butt home and take a nice long shower and all... Everything's perfect I tell you... Until the next day came and the person on duty didn't bloody turn up... He's supposed to be there @ 8 am... And guys being guys, are never so particular when it comes to being on time... So I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and waited 30 mins before I began to hunt down his contact no.... All thanks to the outdated nominal roll... Of course, there's the updated copy in the e-mail... I didn't realised this until much later... Can't believe no one actually bothered to print it and replace the old copy... It's not very hard to do the above-mentioned... Not like the ink's toxic or anything... I'm digressing...

I called him and asked where the hell is he... Is he on the way or something... His reply added fuel to my rage... He simply told me, without any apologetic tone, tt he's sick, having a upset tummy and couldn't turn up... Come on... If you're sick, @ least have to courtesy to call and inform so tt the your replacement can be informed in advance to appear in camp... I'm not psychic... I can't sense tt you're sick or anything... Because of tt guy irresponsible act, I wasn't able to go home @ 8 am... I have to wait for his replacement to arrive and he came @ 11 am... And I bet tt the other guy wasn't very pleased @ well... To be forced to cancel his plans and report to camp without any pior warnings...

Grrr... Guys will always be guys... Sickening... And to think tt they have the audacity to proclaim tt they're the more superior sex... My foot...

Busy... (Imported From Xanga)

I've been busy... Not with h/w... Tt's like so yesterday... Neither am I busy with work... In my case, I'm forbidden to actually bring work outta my work place, which is good, if you consider what normal adults have been going through almost everyday... Stressed up due to deadlines and all... Ha~!!! If I can't meet deadlines, then continue tml lor... Afterall, being an insider, efficiency is all but fiction...

After narrowing down... The only time consuming stuff is to be in contact with the outside world... So the last [Sat], I finally set foot into [Orchard] once again... This time, it's [05S17]... Though almost everyone is absent, except for those few who would make the effort to actually appear, I still had a good time... Esp @ [NYDC]... The pasta's nice and the mocha's excellant... Simply imagine a mini fish tank of iced mocha... Nuff said for those who like such stuff...

Of course, interacting with ppl is never my forte... So when they went to watch a movie @ [Cineleisure], I decided to take stroll all the way to [PS] and for once, I actually did spend money... Rented another of [Kelley Armstrong]'s novel, [Bitten] - the last book tt I've been looking for but couldn't find in the library - from [San's Bookstore] for a net payment of $6... $15 initial payment and $9 resale price... A little ex as compared to those [Charmed] book tt I've rented in the past...

Of course, when I'm done with the book, I shall look forward to getting my hands on the latest book from her as well... [No Humans Involved]... But before tt, I shall watch [Spider-Man 3] and read it's novel... Yes... I have the novel as well... My sis bought it for me for my 19th birthday the next day... It's really thoughtful of her... So whoever's reading this and have designs on my book... DREAM ON!!! LOL... To put it simply... All my books are out-of-bounds to everyone except me... I'm not kidding...

Anyway, I also did bought 3 [Fahrenheit] poster for $2 in total @ [Comics Connection]... It's super worth it lor... 1 for my sis, 1 for [YH] and 1 for [Bec]... Don't ask me why am I doing this... I just feel like I should shower some ppl with gifts once in a while... *Grins* =D

My last spending spree was on the PC version of [FFVII]... It's an old game, but it's once of the best [FF] games ever... The revolutionary version tt brings [FF] to a whole new level of game play and CGI effects... So I spent $34.90 on it... Only to find tt I couldn't run it after 1 whole day of trying to install it in the com and failing miserably... Of course, if it still isn't working, I wouldn't be blogging here... I wouldn't be on the line with the tech support staff, trying to get it working...

The prob??? I didn't use the admin acc to install the game, resulting in the installationg process being incomplete... You might wonder why I didn't notice this sooner... I would have... But think abt it... A game tt runs on [Win 95] being installed in [XP]... Do you think the game can recognised the admin acc??? I seriously doubt so... Reckon tt during the installation process, whatever is blocked, the disc just skips... -_-"'

To think I'm almost to the point of breaking down during my 19th birthday because of tt... @ least the cake is something to remember for... Fruit cake... Not your ordinary type though... This cake contains peaches, kiwis, grapes, strawberries, blueberries and really sweet white chocs... Tt was the [Mother's Day] cake... But my family decided to combine it and make it my b-day cake as well as bakeries doesn't sell b-day cakes on [Mother's Day]...!!! Weird...

Oh well... Guess this entry is long enough... I'm now a year nearer to death and I still have yet to find a BF... *Wails*

Hopeless... (Imported From Xanga)

I'm beginning to feel like I'm totally hopeless... Not in the context tt I can't be saved from some imminient disaster or something... Rather, I'm beyond saving... Before any of you start getting the wrong idea, I'm not on drugs... Neither have I commited any crime... My morale doesn't allow me to anyway... =P

On the surface, I'm hopeless as I love to procrastinate... I guess most humans do tt and it's a bad habit tt's not easy to kick... My plan to upload all my pics to [Photobucket.com] and to create a backup online has been put on hold... Again... Wonder when I'll actually find the resolve to commit myself in finishing tt pending job of mine...

Of course, when I'm working, I try my best not to procrastinate... I'm also trying very hard to follow the rules and not deviate... Yet my collegues are constantly taking short-cuts, rendering me fustrated sometimes when I'm trying to produce a good piece of work... The 'heck care' attitude is getting on my nerves... I mean, everything will run smoothly if you follow the guidelines given... It's there for a reason... Why bother to take the shorter route and if you're discovered, you'll get reprimanded???

Of course, the it's IF you're discovered... However, my mindset is different... I'd rather do it right the 1st time and be done with it... And not risk tt probability, however small, and end up redoing the job again... I seriously fail to understand those collegues of mine...

Talking abt collegues, this is where the severe problem of my 'hopelessness' lies... Most of the guys there are older than me and some of them - 2 to be exact - aren't tt bad looking either... If you're still clueless abt what I'm saying... To put it in English, I'm starting to develop a certain crush on someone... Gee... To me, those boyish looks are a little hard to resist... So much for trying to distract myself from all this... *sheepish grin*

*Sigh*... I miss those days when I'm hiding in a room full of books and being alone... With my books to keep my minds off such things... And the gang as well... And [deClique]... But now tt I'm given a higher appointment and I'm relocated to another department with more ppl, more work, more interaction will take place and my much needed distraction is no longer there... I'm seriously hopeless...

Still waiting for cupid's arrow...

Joke to brighten up a bad day...
A man managed to flagged a taxi and gave the directions to the taxi driver... Half-way through the ride, the man decided to change his destinations... He tapped the taxi-driver lightly and the taxi-driver yelped in surprised, causing the taxi to veer off the road nad hit a tree before coming to a stop...

'I'm sorry... I didn't know tt I'll startle you by tapping you on the shoulder,' the man said, to which the taxi-driver replied:

'It's okay... It's my 1st day @ work as a taxi-driver... Before this, I'm driving funeral vans...'

Steamboat... (Imported From Xanga)

1 wk ago, we had our steamboat... Some can't make it due to some personal commitments... Yet despite the lack of full strength, we still had a ball of a time eating and chatting and having innocent fun... I went on a photo snapping rampage and viola! Here are the photos of tt memorable day...

I was ungodly early, arriving @ [Marina Bay] like a whopping hr earlier than the meeting time... Actually, I was already there when they're just meeting up... Anyway, when they finally arrived and as we're on the way to find a nice steamboat...

The feast began and I'm 1st to be done eating... I'm really not much of an eater when it comes to steamboat... Really...

When everyone's done with their feast, this is the end result of our table... Quite a remarkable mess, don't you think so??? LOL...

Of course, we stayed behind for a while to gossip for a while and the subject this time round, is the other male present in this hugh party of ours...

Some grroup photos and fooling around before we call it a day...

As we rode on [Bec]'s parent's truck, memories of similar fun outings course through each of our minds and I'm really glad tt I've made such good friends with them... The future is shrouded in mystery... Whether we'll still be in touch in x yrs from now can't be determined... LOL... Now tt's what thrilling isn't it??? To anticipate the future...

Of course, apart from tt, we're also discussing on certain relationship issues... I kinda envy ppl who're being wooed... Tt's blessing to them... I would very like to experience it myself as well... And this is called dreaming...
