Oh what a rainy day

Class ended early so I went HV to da pao katong laksa for myself and grandpa. Then upon exiting the kopi thiam, it rained. I was like, fcuk, god did u have to do this? Sigh. Fortunately, my hoodie was with me so I was able to beat the rain. With some luck I suppose, I decided to take a cab home since it appeared in front of me out of the blue!

I had the fortune or misfortune to know that my second assignments are out soon, with one fresh from the oven on monday apparently. I looked at the questions and it kinda looked alien to me ha. When Deepak was looking at me for an answer which I couldnt answer today, he was giving me that "babe, u better buck up or ure a goner." The information just come and go alright, come october, I must be really shitting in my pants when Im as clueless as of current.

School's really boring other then looking out for this hot indo chinese chick whom I see every Wed and Friday. I must have smiled like a retard, because she was grinning and then proceeded giggling at me.

Ming called and ask if there was a staff vs students soccer thingy tomorrow. Then i was like, "got meh". Then he said Francis told him so! Then i was like, "Unless u join the girl team, its unlikely they'll play against us." He laughed.

One of those moments; "Ok this uncle join ur team" *points to me*. Ok Uncle. Thanks...

Smile for them too!
A touching read at least to me. Xenoboy never fails to amaze me with his literacy genius. I wonder if xeno was the abridged version of xenophobic. It remains to be seen.

Letting go

I have to let go but somehow, I must let my piece to get across first. Ironically, it is what that spurs me on. And for that I'm grateful in some way.

I may have played the wrong gambit, but surely, I was of some fight. Even if I cant checkmate you, I still got a stalemate to fight for.

If I swept your you off your feet back yesterday then I would have blown u away today. Just one time, and you'll know what I mean.

Taxi talk with uncles

Saturday was talking cock day. Boarded a taxi to a place near mustafa for dinner. Enroute, for some funny reason, we started talking cock. Many topics were broached. It was like a 22 year vs 50 year old talk.

So he was telling me about he used to be car salesman, where selling 2 cars would set him back for a month comfortably. And how his company cruelly retrenched him, saying he was old. But he didnt look old, oh well that wasnt the point, then came to the baby segments when our dear PM Lee said, we are not having enough babies.

His response to it was, "Why people dont want to give birth? Its because of financial reasons. if I was an ordinary MP, i would tell my wife, oei u give birth to me a football team." Then i was like, "haha uncle just do it man." He started commenting, "cannot already lah, anyway i already have kids, a son and a daughter; son studying in SIM next year, daughter Sec 3 in Chij toa payoh." I was like, "..."

Interestingly the gov's decision to import foreigners to make up the baby deficit is flawed. As pointed out by Mr Wang's blog. According to our dear PM, we are on the verge of becoming an aging population by 2030, and that one out of five will be > 65. Recruiting foreigners at the average age of 30-40, we would not be solving the baby problem, primarily, adults are not babies and likewise, babies do not equate to adults. 'Foreigner Imports' only serves to expedite the process of achieving an aging population. As Mr Wang says, PM Lee is talking nonsense and I would have to concur that he is indeed babbling rubbish.

On the way home with Fab in the cab, this uncle started chatting with us, when I was telling Fab how lousy his ARSEnal team was. Then the cabby driver, starting to join in, saying he was a chelsea fan. Then we were like ok... Then he started weaving some cock and bull story saying how he liked the name 'Chelsea'. Well uncle, you could name your daughter Chelsea, its a feminine name. Then he proceeeded lamenting how lucky was with soccer betting, then he started quoting one example where he betted 300 the scoreline 3-3 last season. His wife called him stupid. But 89mins , it was 3-2. Then there was a corner kick, and last min, the away team headed the equaliser. He said he won $1200+.
So i started enveloping the space in front of me with my arms, forming a circle and looked at Fabian - The Dua Pau Sign aka Big Cannon Taxi Uncle or strictly how the British would like to call it - 'Absolute bollocks'! By jogging my memory abit, I do not recall Chelsea having such a high scoreline.

Anyways, I played LAN with the boys at cine, but no we didnt play DOTA, but I was like playing warcraft, 2v2 with shiwei. Then during the second game, I decided to go tier 2 early, and I couldnt belive my luck that the human race opponent chose to tower rush me. So i was caught with my pants down literally. Sigh, If only I hadnt chose the tech strategy, we would have owned them. It became a 2v1 in the end. So we ended up playing half-life death match. God it was fun, some outsiders joined in and got pwned by us and left shortly lol.

So that was it.

A political entry

This is a funny article, especially with this heading, *Flamed for being pro gov*.

Dare to lash out but dont dare to accept criticisms. Its analogous to walking into a lion's den and cry wolf. What a slut!

The thing about tabloids like TNP, they enjoy publishing lurid reports but unlike the rest, it is controlled media. They really did paint a good job by giving the impression she was the real victim here, when if you read both side of the stories, courtesy of sammyboymod, she aint no angel.

27, Single and unemployed. I wonder how she spends her time? Ha. Even John Terry is saying thumps up! haha.

Pity I'm not a forumner of Chilicrap, if not she would have got nice one from me up her arse. Does it take rocket science to wonderwhy so many anti g*v crowds are forming? People are getting silenced in real life hence turning to alternatives like internet to express their displeasure.

During secondary one, I remembered my teacher telling us to read Straits Times, as it is a good read. Fast forward 10 years later, I'll tell her she's wrong now. In local context, it's the most rubbish paper ever. A a non discursive sweeping statement i have made, but reasonings fed to me does not make sense to me. With substantial evidence(that is withheld/destroyed), the bigger can of worms will change the entire political landscape.

Historian Lord Acton (1834-1902) issued epic warnings that political power is the most serious threat to liberty. He said this interesting piece, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."

P@P is in rule for 41 years since independence, interestingly notable is, it is the only party in the world that has ruled the longest in a democracy society. Obviously, im not advocating a 'monkey see monkey do' but it does get suspiciously worrying especially when that saying holds much truth.

People young, old and alike assert LKY, Sg's founding father is a great man. That is irrefutable but the crux of the question is, "was he on the good or the bad side?" Mirroring lord acton's wise saying, would it make sense for any man at a grand age of 83(correct me, im not sure) dabble in politics actively? What makes it disturbing, is what he says preceeds what the ruling PM would echo later on. While assert is too far a strong verb to be used, one could infer that he still welds considerable power, while being alluded by some as the 'puppeteer' behind the scenes even in today, 2006.

When the baton is passed on Lee's elder son, famously known as the 'dragon prince'. Its hard not to wonder was it a decision based on credentials or nepotism. Alarmingly, relation to the Lee family hold prominent posts across all g*v boards. This leads to a hypothesis, "are we served by people for us truely or for vested personal interests?"

Then at this year's NDP rally, you hear news of influx of foreigners to make Sg more competitive. Whether they truely are talents is a moot question in Singapore's context. It is generally unanimously agreed among the localfolk on the Internet that they are generally second class/rejected talents from their homelands. Funnily these talents are actually taking jobs that the local people can do. But then, amnesia must have hit me. Employers need not contribute to CPF, and no reservist hence are preferred.

Smiling for 4000+ IMF delegates takes the cake. Our country is made to prostitute ourselves for foreigners to be our citizens, and that we have to 'sa kar' to foreigners to make their stay a welcoming one.

Such campaigns does make you ask yourself what a brain was for. Courtesy and social graces stem from family values and not from an order.

Sometimes, you dont feel Singaporean. I think the Singaporean identity is getting diluted, its only a matter of time, that one day that identity will be lost under the capable hands of our incumbents.

With that saying, PM Lee, where can I find mee siam mai hum ah?
Edited Mr Brown's podcast is now my kick ass ringtone!

Watford Striker: "We'll test United."
I say, "Son, dont bother, you better play D because your D will be hammered throughout 90mins today."

Thanks for talking to me

Now im dumbfounded. Askmark ironically now doesnt know how to solve his problem.

Busy, lifeless weekend

By Friday

• Complete a draft proposal for e-commerce

By Saturday aka my beloved lesbian's birthday(Happy 23rd; ure getting old auntie lee)

• Finish up on my DCN2 assignment for sunday's submission online

By Sunday

• Complete my security assignment draft and my e-commerce.

This week is going to be very tiring for me and i totally hate it. I come home feeling jaded and so unmotivated. My legs are getting tired and aching from that running around the small field day in day out. I so hope for next week where things will slow down abit especially the holiday period, so I can catch up with my social life!

One hell of a weekend getaway

Went with the boys to JB of which I told them I wouldnt be spending on anything. But I couldnt resist buying this S$45 after conversion pilot jacket from bum equipment. Its some old school looking jacket which I was always looking for.

Espirit had what I wanted, but they were SOLD OUT. Can you believe it? Topman's was crappy, zara and guess didnt appeal and the price was also a turnoff. Dont bother mentioning the psuedo ones at far east plaza. And there pops out a similar looking one albeit thicker, I just had to do it! Purchase it! No 'branded' jackets are sold in Singapore for less than $50. Like mr shiwei likes to put it,"Its a steal!"
Im gonna make it so army-ish by sewing my army rank on the left sleeve, my unit badge on the right and a name tag just above the front pockets, it will serve as a momento when I wear it, then relive the good and fun and of course the bad times when im in one of those solitude moments outside somewhere. - Reminisce.

Got to love my lepak dress code for JB outing; a pair of rundown adidas, light khaki cargo berms and some cheapo thailand quiksilver oversized tee and a black pouch which i positioned it in the front.
For some reasons, I was derided for that pouch positioning haha. If i wasnt wearing any clothes aka naked, that pouch would have been akin to the !kung bushmen in Aussieland for cover up of the erm private parts.

Then later we made an impromptu decision on clubbing, so we just went home, changed and went double o. It was jammed packed and i was like dozing off after one jug because I was so tired, I was clearly in my own land, oblivious to what was surrounding me. I think someone was moshing or grinding me for a while but I wasnt really sane back then to figure who it was, now that Im typing this. Reminds me the funny moments at zouk where Ludwig was ass-smooching this particular someone. Jaya was in front of him, so he was like subtlely hinting, "hows the chick behind?". I was like :O and Jaya just started giggling like a girl, and gave him that 'no go, babe' look. Turned out to be transvestite. LOL? And he(Ludwig) seems to have an affinity with vestites in clubs, couldnt help bursting out laughing when he told me about his 'brushes' with em in MOS.

Next stop: Thailand if it does materialise. I hate my e-com module. My mind seems to be a blank when broaching this cock subject. Its due 10 days later and I barely started. I got a bbq to attend and then I'm meeting Iggy for drinks at Clarke Quay and catch Liverpool vs Chelsea.

Literally the Reds vs the Blues. Please own chelsea, pool. Im sick of arrogant mourinho. But if you farts cant do the job, then there's always Man U to finish up that job heh.

Some interesting/funny anecdotes

Mrs Tan was telling Richard(with me around; in case im accused of eavesdropping) she didnt want to want to have a third child and that she was so mad at her husband back then because she didnt know he wanted to try for a third.
Then Richard started retorting back laughing, "what do you mean you didnt know? You mean you just lied down there motionless? Surely you must know ur hubby was doing something right..." ROFL.

For the nth time yet again, I was asked if I was an AC boy. This time in class by the lecturer who was marking attendance; came to my name and then proceeded asking the one fck question i'm sick of hearing, "Hey Mark, are you an ac dude?". Enough said.

I was late for class one day which I must allude to my perpetual procrastination one fine day. And this fat lady who was at other side awaiting to board had to nicely position herself in front of the exit. I was already so irritated, so I gave a nice one up her arse. "YO EXCUSE ME, YOU ARENT EXACTLY MODEL THIN, SO STOP BLOCKING THE EXIT GODDAMIT."
In those milli-seconds timeframe, everyone turned towards my direction.

One fine day a msn window popped out out onto my desktop with "Junhong came NP. He's so cute." I wanted to type something then later I was like forget it. *points the mouse to the extreme right corner where the x button was and closed it*

I asked Richard once, "hey can I call you uncle Richard?" "DONT YOU DARE!". Weeks later, some IJ girl called me uncle. I was like frozed? Speechless? Pretty sure my jaw was ajar. Now supposing if Im uncle, then Tim will be old uncle, Richard will be older old uncle. Then I remembered Stanley - sibeh lau lau lau uncle.

I watched Singapore Idol and I absolutely have no idea what Jacintha is blabbering about. Everytime she opens her sweet mouth of hers, she makes me wonder if I was watching a foreign film instead.
And people tell me Ken Lim gives constructive comments or so he does. DO YOU REALLY THINK SO? E.g. "You must find your true self while expressing yourself" or seomthing along the lines. Its not useful, in fact, it leaves one hanging by the thread. If my BMT PC 2LT Ishak heard such cock phrases, he will tell this into your face. "Eh recruit, find your LJ understand?".

The end.

Was catching up with QX over msn, he told me he applied for poly in 2005 with L1R4 14 and he got rejected for biomedical/chemical engine. I was like WTF? In my year 2000, that score could certainly get you any course.
Those were the days man. Go to his house and play his sega saturn with Ray. Now whats Sega Saturn? Some antiquated 32bit console.

Yenyen knows Jiawei's younger arrogant sister. Talk about coincidences. I cant believe Sijie told me she was not bad looking back then during RJ days. Then i fucked him back nicely. "Eh you smoke too much inside the RJ toilet until you got myopia ah."
Ok lah then again, she was not too bad looking. The sisters generally are sweet looking and pretty. Its like 3 years since I last broke up with Jiawei but its undeniable that she does warrant a special place in that heart of mine.

Im meeting Paul tomorrow. Miss that old man. Still remember the days we had while in comp lab room of mine where Stanley, him and me will chat all about the dirty gov politics.

I'm damn beat. Bye Internet.
