Life doing project with the top student?

Some top students are just overated...

Ahh results

I scored a 3.75 which was decent I guess? The biggest bombshell? Crazy indian women getting CAP 5.0. Yep 3 of them.

How do you know she's the one?

When I first saw her, she was plump but she looked kinda cute. Fast forward a year later, she got a little slimmer and she still looked cute. Then came the next year, she got even slimmer and I thought she looked lovely.

Every year she undergoes a transition, and so do I. In fact, so does everyone. My liking for her grew every year while her liking for me unfortunately stagnated every year. Probably for her, there was a hike in likeness at one point, but it just fizzled out later. Everything just seems to went so wrong.

Was it lust? I could look at every other girl's rack but not hers. I was contented enough to look at her face, with my mind going blank and look like a complete idiot. I just couldn't be myself whilst being alone with her. At the back of my head, its always trying to find the right words to make a positive impression. However, the wrong words always get blabbered out instead.

What am I up to? Nothing big. Just someone who fell for you and wanted to make known his existence. Just someone who knows he can make you laugh. Just someone who knows you could be proud of. Just someone who also knew he could only do so much. He's also that very same someone who told you he gave up, when the truth was, he really didn't.

Is the situation a cul-de-sac? Seth Godin must be laughing at me now if it is because I read his book.

What happened to Mas Selamat?

Folks, we should forget about it and just move on.
After all, it takes 49 seconds to escape and 2 months to be forgotten.
Yahooo!

Just for laughs

Purportedly from the sammboymod forums.

LOL

My team drives me up the damn wall

Its collectively as a team since 3/4 of them just simply never fail to amaze me. Its so happening, its impossible to blog it here, I just have to spill it out verbally.

Golden Beaver

WHAT is a male cleaner doing in a woman's washroom?

That what crossed Ms CSLim's mind when she saw the man in the ladies' toilet at Bukit Panjang Plaza last weekend.

Ms Lim, 55, who is in-between jobs, said: 'I had just finished using the toilet and was about to wash my hands when I suddenly realised there was someone behind me.

'I turned around and was shocked to see a male cleaner who had just come out from one of the cubicles.'

Ms Lim said at that time, another woman had been in the toilet with a small child.

'I asked the cleaner what he was doing and why he was in the toilet, but he just waved his hands to indicate that he can't speak or hear,' she said.

Ms Lim said the other woman tried to stop him from leaving, but the cleaner walked past them and went outside.

'We were both very shocked and offended,' she said. Ms Lim decided to follow him.

'I saw him pick up a plastic bucket at the entrance of the toilet and I followed him,' she said.

The full article can be read here

Now what did this Ms Lim did was quite extraordinary. She actually lodged a police report, made a complaint to the management of the shopping centre, based on her assumption that the-poor-cleaner-wasnt-carrying-any-tools-so-he-must-be-up-to-something-fishy.

It turns out later that this hearing and speech impaired man was innocent. According to CCTV flashbacks, he actually placed a cleaning sign before entering the ladies toilet. He wasnt carrying any tools because he was merely checking the flushing mechanism.

Ms Lim however, becomes overly suspicious and perhaps to a certain extend sensitive, as if the cleaner would want to peep at her wrinkled beaver or feast on her saggy boobs with his eyes.

You know what? No one's interested. Even if Ms Lim paid me to watch her nude, i rather pay her to retract that offer. And I think the poor cleaner put in that scenario would do just that, to save his appetite.

Changing my lifestyle

And it has already begun. I only have till jan 2009 to do so though.

Incredulous. Absolutely incredulous

With regards to PM Lee's statement of course.

Where do we draw the line then? Its a clear sign of systematic failure from the top right to the bottom. Yes the guards that were negligent, but the security measures, infrastructure, framework, domain knowledge that manifested during the whole Mas Selamat saga was just appalling. And who decided this back then? Well MHA's top brass decided. And who endorsed it? WKS.

And there we have stupid singaporeans who buy these strawman arguments. I was really disappointed with WP's LTK, he could have done better to rebutt PM Lee. But I dont blame him given the lack of oppositions in parliament. *shrugs*

Courtesy of otak69 from hwz forums/sammboymod on WKS's report card. Incredibly funny. Props to him.

Should WKS resign? No, he should be f**king fired instead

Fairytales continue yet again!

PM Lee, DPM Wong to speak about Mas Selamat escape on Monday

(truncated...)

MP Teo Ho Pin (Bukit Panjang), chair of the Government Parliamentary Committee for Home Affairs and Law, has tabled three questions. One of them is on measures to ease congestion at the land checkpoints.

.

Asked what concerns Mr Lee might address, Dr Teo said: "Hopefully he will touch on the idea that public responsibility is important. The Government could not be responsible for everything."

.

He felt Parliament was the "appropriate" platform to present the COI findings, which could then be debated by parliamentarians.

(truncated...)

The full article can be found here.

My dear MP Dr Teo, like Minister Lim, are you also for real? Oh dear, I wonder what use do we pay million dollar salaries to our incumbents for!

The fairytales spun by our national papers part 1

They're young, they're foreign, and they're helping to save your job

By Keith Lin

YOUNG and chatty foreign waitresses have been helping draw customers to some Housing Board coffee shops.

But they have also been raising eyebrows among some local co-workers.

One drinks seller at a coffee shop in Jurong West complained to Minister Lim Boon Heng that she felt threatened by a sweet, young lady from China who sells beer at the same joint.

She was worried that allowing such foreigners to work at coffee shops would undercut her wages. She was already working two jobs to make ends meet.

But the Minister in the Prime Minister's Office saw things differently.

The co-worker was drawing men in droves to the coffee shop, he said. This meant brisk business which, in turn, helped the local drinks lady keep her job.

Recounting this anecdote at a forum yesterday, he said: 'Obviously, if Tiger or Carlsberg asks this mature lady to sell beer, it will not have the same result.'

His broader point was that every person, local or foreign, had their own strengths.

He was speaking to 500 employers, unionists and government officials at the Singapore Tripartism Forum to discuss employment issues.

For nearly two hours, a panel of six, including Acting Manpower Minister Gan Kim Yong, Education Minister Ng Eng Hen and labour chief Lim Swee Say, fielded questions. These ranged from worries over the rising costs of living to re-employment of older workers.

To a call from a participant to relax foreign worker quotas, Mr Gan said this issue often results in tensions. Singaporeans prefer fewer foreign workers but bosses need them to augment their workforce. The solution, he said, was to strike a balance between both parties' interests by fine-tuning foreign worker policies.

Oh really? Now Minister Lim, are you for real? Mana ada logic sial?

Monday is D-Day

Well I not only have a 9am paper to sit but also the day that will showcase Wong Kan Seng making a stand and release the COI findings.

As usual, I will foresee similar quality in speech analogous to this one.

Exam blues

back-to-back papers next week! How fucked up is that?

*SIGH*

Yet another sgporean who cant MHOFB

One term to sum it all - LMAO

Notable moments:

1.
Taxi driver: "you win."
Andrew Teo: "not me la, the government win. the government win..."

2.
"Im a citizen, What no authority? Ure under citizen arrest!" >>HAHAHAH really buai tahan this one!

3.

Bugger from LKY school of public policy somemore, mai sng sng!

ps: MHOFB- Mind His Own Fucking Business

Arsenal uplorry liao.

75 mins already, man u is leading 2-1 :)

*update*

Yep Arsenal is officially out of the title race. Man u wins 2-1!
Adebayor drew first blood to put arsenal ahead; my lampa nearly shrunk man. Then gallas had to make a boo boo and foul in the penalty box; penalty awarded to man u. Oh well, Ronaldo stepped up to take it, Lehmann nearly saved it coz he dived the correct direction but i guess he wasnt fast enough. 1-1

Lastly, a classic freekick curler by Hargreaves. Lehmann's face was priceless. He had the huh-the-ball-go-in-liao-ah face. Yep he stood rooted to the ground. Arsenal stepped their game and pushed man u all the way from then onwards, the game was fucking tight!

After Adebayor scored, ppl start to sms/msn n suan me liao... basket. But HEY guess who had the last laugh *sniggers* But *ahem* like a true gentleman, today i did not go into suan ppl mode :D It was a very good game.

*update ends*

Want to tak chek also cannot, damn soccer is too exciting to missssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss... Baah!

My overdue assignment can also uplorry already :/

Out with the old and in with the maybe not so new.

Yep I just dumped my old layout, it was screwin up everything. Out of boredom, I read all 153 posts excluding this one, sometimes I feel like laughin at my own posts. Geez, my life's just like a damn rollercoaster and not to mention my writing style changes over time!

Anyway yesterday was pretty good. Had steamboat and then met up with the indian fags along with fushun n iggy. Iggy and me were like holding the table at wala wala for like nearly an hour?! People would have been wondering why 2 dumbos are sitting at a table for 8. Well, there was plenty to talk cock with Iggy anyway, from school to soccer to politics.

It was good seeing them again, can u imagine the amount of cock-talk that comes out when u put maha, john and me together. It was a good night! Believe me, we were laughing so damn hard! hahaha

Life's just *insert suitable adjective*

Been a damn long while I updated.

Well a summation from Feb till now in chronological order:

The blog's a lil fucked though; its kinda shameful to admit that Im studying IT.

In 7months, I turn a quarter of a century.

I landed my dream job, only to reject for a post grad diploma in NUS. Stupid Decision?

I couldnt win yenyen's heart but I landed the heart of some gay Myanmar fella.

Exams are just around the corner and Im still bogged with assignments!

SAF charged me for being a RT defaulter; im under IHL. The irony of it all, I must have uncovered a loophole in the system. I aint going to pay that fucking 50 dollar fine, I'm going to argue my way through!

It'll be a lie to say im not heartbroken. But I can take it like a man and move on. At least, the gymming sessions, the cooking, booze/football, and the various cliques of awesome friends keeps me going.

HOWEVER, reading straits times spoils my day especially lau lee's rantings. The man is already one foot in the 7 feet deep and boy he can conjure up lots of jiao wei.

And there was a forumner in HWZ who posted MM Lee's reference of complacent singaporeans refered to WKS and his cronies.

So amazed on how that he could twist and turn the article's semantics, I had to log in and flamed his backside upside down. Ok not really but I just tore his argument wide apart and he didnt have the balls to reply me or rather it felt like there was no room for any rebuttal.

Singaporeans... *gasp* Well a consolation was I chanced upon some girl's blog and that she stands on the same fence with me and a growing legion of like minded people.

To all those who hav exams this month and next esp the NTU farts and NUS peeps, well good luck buddies.

FOR CAP 5.0! HUAT AH! :/

Tendered

my resignation. Boy do I feel good.

December

So its that time of the year again - the closure of 2007. Boy how time flies; it has been two years since I last ORDed.

It also means that:

1) I've been working for a nearly good two years.
2) I'm done with my degree :)

All I can say it has been really tiring! I dont know how the heck I pulled through. I think I've been very blessed and I really thank god for that.

HOLIDAY

On a lighter note, I went to Boracay with the boys for 6 days. It was pretty funny indeed now that I started reminisce about it. Like how we got stranded in Manila after missing the one and only last flight from Clark Airport and spent the night at this 24hr italiano fast food restaurant - Shakeys; how we spent half the time in the hotel room sleeping or lazing; how shiwei contracted sore eyes and duly spread his conjunctivitis to everyone else; how fangwen aka Mr Wiki Foo imbues us with general knowledge(70% accurate) that we all loved to hear LMAO; the awesome coconut fruit shake; the good food that we had i.e. adobo rice, spaghetti aglio olio with crab, hey jude's pizza, indian food and so on.

We even had time to squeeze in for a Hitman movie at S$4 LOL. Its unbelievable especially when we were supposed to watch enchanted and ended up with Hitman at the end.

LIFE AFTER MY DEGREE

The biggest conundrum in my life - pursue a post grad diploma or ACN's consulting.

Im still mulling, in fact I'm beginning to make a decision. Another side of me feels bad, that Im going to bastard my boss after 7 months, because he really thinks highly of me and he treats me really well. Unfortunately, this job does not hold any future for me; I've learnt whatever I need to know.

My colleague has tendered, and if I tender and another of my buddy tenders, the company is soo going to get fucked nicely. They actually offered my colleague an increment to stay on, but his new job pays him much more! If my buddy and I tender, they might have to wave that carrot at us. The difference is my buddy is pretending to tender whereas if I tender, Im for real. Might as well do a good deed; my loss will will probably make the company value my buddy. I hope you get that increment man, brother. The final remuneration package if materializes, is attractive.

With that being said. Hello NUS! Looks like I will be eating with Ariff more often at biz canteen next semester.

Why we should speak up

"In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;
And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;
And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;
And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up."
