Life doing project with the top student?

2008-08-08T11:29:00.001+08:00

Some top students are just overated...

Ahh results

2008-05-30T23:09:00.002+08:00

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?

2008-05-25T21:46:00.003+08:00

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?

2008-05-14T21:16:00.001+08:00

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

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

2008-04-30T00:33:00.001+08:00

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

Incredulous. Absolutely incredulous

2008-04-24T21:13:00.004+08:00

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!

2008-04-20T18:45:00.003+08:00

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

2008-04-18T22:27:00.002+08:00

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.

Arsenal uplorry liao.

2008-04-14T00:38:00.003+08:00

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.

2008-04-12T11:50:00.005+08:00

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

2008-04-10T23:34:00.005+08:00

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

2008-01-09T22:22:00.000+08:00

my resignation. Boy do I feel good.

December

2007-12-06T20:42:00.001+08:00

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

2007-10-06T12:13:00.000+08:00

"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."

I hate life conundrums

2007-10-03T21:38:00.000+08:00

An acquaintance pointed out to me that if Im going to spend $4k on a diploma learning .NET at NUS's ISS that spans 26 days, I might as well dish out 2k more and do a more rigourous education with the diploma in system analysis spanning 11 months albeit full time.

Now the problem starts if I dont land a consulting job at accenture, then I would have to fall back on my contingency - be a programmer. And that very diploma in SA trains one to be a programmer of your choice in specialization, J2EE/.NET with a 5 months attachment in a MNC allocated to me. The syllabus is very much rigorous in nature and definitely would be beneficial to me because it complements my would-be degree (i have never taken those modules or should I say i skipped them all)

I mean its a no brainer, if I dont land my first choice, I would just move on to second choice. But if I do land in that situation, I will be very very torn between a dip in SA or a cert in C#/.NET simply because of the 11 months opportunity costs lost financially during that period of time but the knowledge gained would be very invaluable.

Ahh. The conundrums of life.

Finding a niche area

2007-09-24T18:25:00.000+08:00

So much so, I'm nearing completion of my studies and that I can prepare writing my cover letters soon, and that includes preparation for my contingency plans.

Oh yes, I must have mentioned life is about being spontaneous but that would gear more towards leisure. When it comes to your future, you cant really decide on the fly what you want to do. I've pretty much decided on my contingency plan. No its not security. No its not network. And yes its programming.

Surprise, surprise, surprise. Considering how stupid I was and how I sucked at Java last time during poly, choosing programming does not make one bit of a sense.

Indeed it doesnt, in fact my programming background revolves around asp and php, one of which is outdated and the other, rarely used in big firms. Sounds like suicide, till God gave me a sign. Sounds funny but yea on one fine day, I asked that I have no idea what to specialize in, so please give me a sign. And weeks later, my lecturer wrote a comment on my assignment. "You have the makings of a good programmer."

Of course I didnt exactly based on that comment alone to decide but that alone made me consider programming for the first time. I hated Java because I couldn't appreciate object oriented programming but I still did programming somehow, be it for FYP or for an inventory portal for work which were all not so object oriented especially with old school asp, known for its 'spaghetti code' since html and vbscript was meshed up together.

Suddenly it became all clear. I sucked at programming back then because I didn't take the effort to learn. So i recoded the entire php inventory portal to prove a point. Its now not only object oriented but ajax capable :)

Im such a geek but programming is still always going to be my last option. I'm still very bent in getting to Accenture's consulting. The only peeve is if my DL degree is going to put me at a disadvantage. I just hope my linguistic and writing abilities, coupled with my high GPA and technical background would be good enough.

And if it doesnt work out, Ill just go NUS and do a C#/ASP.NET course and that should be good enough.
Either way, I should be happy lah, I scored brownie points with ms chia and I think she likes me. :D

Life on the whole

2007-09-01T00:10:00.000+08:00

Life's pretty good; I have been very blessed.

Im doing very well in my new job. It may not be a high paying job but I get along with everyone well; theres hardly politics.

Im dating a girl. Though nothing concrete, but still i'm glad that I met her even if I dont end up with her.

Im doing very well in my studies. I may not be the top student but I'm still considered an overachiever by some of my peers. They still cant fathom or believe im actually working and studying full time. They think im a crazy nut in a good way.

Writing

2007-08-20T01:04:00.000+08:00

You wrote a card in which the stimulus was "it was really well written."

Now the pertinent question is, did the message get through?

Would writing well but failed in conveying the message across possible? Or is it mutually exclusive?

I wonder. Tell you what. I think I should just go and sleep and forget about it.

Foreign Talent?

2007-07-29T19:46:00.000+08:00

Talent is just a word used to make it more palatable for locals to swallow; which in turn allows citizens to accept the FT policy. It gives people an impression that we lack talent in certain areas which require special expertise, which there is no denial. But as the years go by, the word has been loosely used to an extend, where the word definition of talent and worker has blurred, or in fact fused conveniently under the umbrella of of the exact same word - talent.

The word 'Talent' has taken a new meaning in political terms. Its just politicking.

Save the cheerleader

2007-07-27T23:02:00.000+08:00

on the 24th September! :D

As with new jobs

2007-07-10T19:19:00.001+08:00

I am perpetually glued to the goddamn laptop from 9am to 6+pm. Tomorrow I have running around to do, so I hope it isnt too bad.

And I met up with Timmy & Hanrong for dinner. It was pretty hilarious, especially with his story telling of his experience with women. I swear that fella meets the wrong kind of girls, it's as if he was fated to meet such girls. Or maybe he just has an affinity for them.

And also Mr Wang says you should write down your goals and watch how reality bends itself to accomodate you closer to your goals. In a nutshell, by writing your goals, subconsciously you are working towards it; somehow you will meet or experience things that will play an integral part in achieving that goal.

Im actually very skeptical about this. Say I wanted to be a lawyer. Now thats very bizare indeed, considering my field is totally off; IT. Now if I really wanted to be lawyer, I would have to fork out lots and lots of cash so that I can go overseas and read law. Sounds impossible. Now if I decided to write another goal such as, I want to be a millionaire. Lagi extreme?

Now the pertinent question is how such thoughts are going to affect reality? Buying toto? Buying a stock at random that happened to soar beyond your wildest dreams? And if it materialises, would I attribute it to luck or long nights of praying at temple?

If it was put in a more logical way such as thoughts affect reality unless you do something about it. It would make hell lot of sense.

By writing a goal down and say, we not do anything but continue my mundane life, how much closer am I to my goal? Subconciously, I might be doing things are making me work towards it, but having something out of the blue happening? Now thats quite incredulous; infact it not palatable for me to swallow it down.

Friday's date

2007-07-08T00:42:00.000+08:00

It was kind of a disaster from the get-go. I was late for 45 mins, and probably the first guy whom she knew that made her wait that long. Ha record setter.

But she was nice enough to shrug it off, since she could do some shopping. Honestly yesterday i looked really bad, flustered, and not to mention the perpetual perspiring which only served to worsen everything else.

But somehow as we settled down for dinner, things took a turn for the better. As we started conversing, it felt like we were getting to know each other on a personal level for the first time, albeit we chat pretty often on msn, that day. Which i quote from askmen, her interest level was definitely high enough, it was a really nice feeling talking to her.

The night was a really simple affair. Dinner at samar and desserts at ah chew's. Lastly the last bus ride home together. Wasnt exactly the romantic affair, but it sure made my day!

OH NO

2007-06-27T21:03:00.001+08:00

Loud hailer girl knows my blog!

AHHH

2007-06-19T19:49:00.000+08:00

Ok, so i took the new job after all. This means im on probation for 3 months which also means my last day is 6th Jul:(

And did i mentioned how packed this week is? My balls are about to burst. I had 2 papers back to back; yesterday afternoon and this morning. Aftermath-wise, I just hope ill do well enough, really. And then I have another on thursday morning, after of which, I have to rush down to Stanley's ROM, then I have to jet off back to IJ and clear up my barang.

Plus I have an annoying VPN training to attend tomorrow at 930am, now how stupid is that, considering I already know what I have to know. I dont mind going for the sake of it, but it eats up my time for revision!

Then on friday, I would have one hell shitload of back log of work to clear and I got a BBQ to attend at huang ming's place. Then for the next week, I have to start preparing for handing over and I also have to finish up my php application for the inventory system by the last day. I do hope to implement ajax in it before I leave. That cheebye application was long overdued anyway.

So much for the bad, comes the good i guess. Im now a MOS member, by virtue of a student. Hahaha YAY! Like a typical singaporean, ill probably not patronise Zouk and go MOS instead. Heck its free and I get discounts on house pours!

And then I have a date with someone heeeeeeeeeheeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Ive already decided on the place; props to the newbie storeman officer.

And then the next half of the year, will be rollercoaster ride. New job, new skillsets being learnt , graduation and maybe more dates with that same girl that is.

If all is rosy, I might have few firms in mind to take me in; programmer-_- at ACN or some analyst at ML. Im still hoping/wishing to land a executive IT job in an IB/FI.

Its good to dream, because in life, I guess you never know. Just like how I could never see myself falling for someone after I went separate ways with Jiawei, whom I met at my buddy's place.

Or Shiwei having the likes for Slyvia's loud mouthed sister for that matter. LMAO.

Another barrage of HDs?

2007-06-08T18:37:00.000+08:00

I wonder.

Destined to be in the computing line? I really wonder

2007-05-25T21:31:00.000+08:00

I took the myers-briggs personality test just to see which type of person I am. It turns out I'm an ENTP. Like all skeptics, I took it a few times, 4 out of 6 times in a span of a month which concluded me an ENTP.

Its pretty interesting, not because ENTPs are clever by nature; I dont really buy that story but its a flattery at best but because of other traits that I have been so conspicuously exuding.

I understand how things click or how it works, be it a theorem if paid 100% attention, or blending it in any racial group. Im quite the angmo pai fella, and basically i'm able to blend in amongst the several cliques within the group.

Im rational, which means whatever path I decide to take, it must be a sensible on paper. I could have joined Shanwei in Acer and probably might earn as much as he does if i decide to OT mindlessly as he did, but I decided to take a low paying job at IJ to earn my keep while studying.

I enjoy spontaneity over fixed schedules. The malaysia trip is such a fine example; fangwen wants to plan it machiam like Army's SOP, but being me, I say it fuck it and take it as it comes.

I apparently have excellent people's skills; probably evident on how i can please nearly everyone in IJ.

There are many more but I shant elaborate further.

And here comes the best part - likely careers. They listed a few possible and also careers undertaken by ENTPs. Things that caught my eye - psychologist, consultant, computer programmer, system analyst and computer specialist.

Apparently my ideal other half is an INTJ e.g. Mr Wang except that he's a guy but someone else just happened to fit in. And that girl turned out to be the one im interested in - Yen.

when I compare with people I know who took the test, it was relatively true for them.
But as all tests goes, its best to take it with a pinch of salt.

Toto is really about luck

2007-05-25T21:22:00.000+08:00

So a single person walked away with $6 million and he only spent $0.50 on a single quick pick ticket. It really says it all.

Smacks of naviety, but like a little kid in me, I would always like to think otherwise, despite knowing you can never predict the numbers. It just pops out at random. I think its impossible to even formulate a trend line and start forecasting.

Monte Carlo simulation doesnt even come close!

I seriously need to buck up

2007-05-06T16:39:00.000+08:00

Im so fucking unmotivated that I really need to set goals on this blog page to get things done. I've set this entry as my homepage you see because the first thing i do is fire up my goddamn firefox.

~~Finish my data mining assignment by tuesday (8th May)~~

It been a while since I last blogged; simply just tired, lazy, whatever. Yeap as I type this post, I have just sent Hui & Kuah an email telling them, I have officially rejected the Melbourne Uni offer.

Im really trying to be optimistic here. There may just be a couple of reasons why I should stay here.

1) Grandpa- He' getting old, he's already 82. At least it would be nice to be at his side during his golden years, incidentally as old as Geezer old lee, who sporadically comes out and babble nonsense from time to time.

2) Finances- We are talking about a cool S$80k max on a degree which might not secure me a dream job. Melbourne Uni I guess is just Melbourne Uni; its not fair to lump her together with the Ivys.

3) Divinity - Being typical taoists, my mom asked for divine opinion everywhere. All were coincidentally against the idea. Sometimes i guess its better not to go against the odds. Apparently, Ill excel better if I continued studying distance learning here, then go overseas. (Sounds ludicrous; maybe)

4) Practically infeasible- Im due to graduate end of this year. I guess it really makes no sense to spend another 1.5 years there. If all goes well, Im looking at a near impeccable transcript locally, which theoretically puts me in good stead in finding a nice, comfy paying job, I hope.

5) A girl named yen - If I really do go, then I really wouldnt have a chance to date her. It'll probably be shitty if I really fell for her before I left. I honestly think she's quite cute and likeable.

I certainly felt better after typing all these, I hope.

Perhaps if there's a need to undergo postgrad, I guess I wouldnt have qualms applying for melbourne uni again.

NCPG highlights potential dangers of problem gambling during Lunar New Year
>By Wong Siew Ying, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 19 February 2007 1652 hrs

A game of cards or a round of mahjong is a common sight during Lunar New Year celebrations.

While most people dabbled with social gambling, others could cross the line.

And the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) is launching a campaign to highlight the potential risk of compulsive gambling.

Unlike substance abusers like alcoholics and drug addicts, a problem gambler may not be easily spotted, especially when they manage to hide their addiction.

But there are tell-tale signs, says the NCPG.

And this Lunar New Year, it is running a campaign fronted by MediaCorp actor Li Nanxing to remind people of the risk associated with excessive gambling.

Mildred Tan, Chairman, Public Education Sub-committee, NCPG , says: "In social gambling, people tend to have a lot of fun and laughter, and they teased each other, and I think we welcome the community bonding and social spirit that goes with these activities. I think where we would highlight is when an individual runs out of money at the table and starts borrowing, and that's beginning of potential of problems."

The Council says friends and family members can play a role to help identify those at risk.

Those affected can seek assistance from the two helplines operated by the Thye Hua Kwan Moral Society (1800-X-Gamble) and the Care Corner Counselling Centre (1800-666-8668). - CNA/ch

Of all people, Li Nanxing. He was the lead actor for the famous local drama series in the 90s - Unbeatables I, II, III. And guess what the show was all about? About god of gamblers.

Yan Fei, you go, balls! LOL.

The degree conundrum

2007-02-10T02:46:00.000+08:00

OMG I had a dream i was in melbourne uni studying. Was that a sign or something? I checked out the course outline, pretty similar to what I took last year. Doesnt take rocket science to figure that im actually very much leaning towards it at the expense of a high price.

Im kind of sick listening to half baked teaching really. After 1st march when the summer semester results are released, I will get all my docs n go down Hui and Kuah and make another inquiry. Im hoping with exemptions from poly(low B) and my stellar first sem results(ha) might be good enough to make a claim to finish it in one/one and a half year MAX without honours.

S$60k is a lot of cash; can buy shiwei's lancer and still got left over for fixed deposit! But if things turn out the way i hope, I think i will just beg borrow, steal. Riding on the brand name, plenty of doors will be opened to me, and if im lucky to work in Aussieland, I could make back that amount in 2 years. Of course thats the ideal scenario, but as Life as we know, isnt always smooth sailing. So i just got to pray and hope.

Took snapshots for Kumar, it was funny, then when I look at Helen tan, i want to laugh at times because I will start to remember kumar's imitation of her nasal voice. That girl really can act. Today was O levels results, didnt turn out too well for people like pet and sam etc. When i saw pet's swollen eyes, the outcome was conspicuously clear. Well buddy, no ACJC no biggie la!

On another note, LKY's daughter in a face off with Philip Yeo on the biomedical woes.

"I would challenge that, having never
practised as a doctor, Mr Yeo is strategising
about biomedical research directions in
an ivory tower. He has been very successful
in selling Singapore in the past, but biomedical
research is a different ball game.
The fact that he dismisses the importance
of Hepatitis B and head injury shows how
out of touch he is with reality."

This is so going to be interesting. Philip Yeo probably never saw it coming. Probably one of the more prominent advocators in pushing Singapore in the forefront for life sciences only to make this famous U-turn statement that degree holders are only fit to wash test tubes. I wonder how the life science undergraduates at nus/ntu felt upon hearing the words of wisdom by the man himself.

But this one takes truely the cake, courtesy of sammyboy by HeWolf

1. LHL says that GST is needed to help the POOR.
2. MM LKY says that GST is to offset the 1% corporate tas cut to stay competitive.
3. GCT says GST is needed to realise promises made during GE.
4. And now the Mah Mah says that GST is needed to build roads, bridges and etc.
5. Palmer says GST is for HDB upgrade.

Now you have 5 people from the same camp saying different things. So which is the correct reason? LOL.

Wat a depressing day

2007-02-06T22:51:00.000+08:00

Did the paper and couldnt finish on time. Now thats really fucked up. I mean if you didnt know how to do, and you left blank; it couldnt be worse than knowing how to do, yet not being able to complete due to time constraints.

Went to Mag's husband's wake to pay respects. Kind of felt for her, especially her sons. I guess she seemed ok, or more like putting a strong front. On hindsight, the whole thing was really tragic, who would have expected this? Makes one realise how life can be so precious, and to quote my gd' ol fav maxim - You live life once, just fucking do it.

Yep just fucking do it. Even if it didnt turn out well, at least you know you tried, been there, done that regardless of the outcome.

6th Feb

2007-02-02T17:29:00.000+08:00

It falls on a tuesday and it is my exam day. 830 in the morning. Woooop deee dooop! Im so not goin to score anyway. Shouldnt have taken summer but oh well.

I asked the lecturer if he taught any other modules, he gave me a couple and asked was it because I wanted him to teach me again as he laughed. And I told him, no. In fact it was the opposite, I will strictly avoid modules taught by him.

I dont need someone to simplify the passage, I need someone to explain concepts in a concise, clear manner that can be digested by any green person. Its not as if I had deficiency in English that I required simplification, besides his English wasnt that fantastic either.

He was comparing theme as a technique in aspect programming, so I asked him was it similar to using Ajax for web applications. And the whole class and him looked at me as if I went off tangent and was babbling about the little town in Amsterdam, Holland instead.

As usual, ask the aussie lecturer himself via email. It may not be 100% clear, as compared to face to face, but surely I have an idea whats going on.

2007-01-06T15:45:00.000+08:00

I dont know how to do my assignment and its due 10 days time.

Update(23/01/07)
Done. Finish. Over.
And the time I took to do this cheebye assignment was equivalent to the amount of time I spent on 4 assignments overall last year. Dont know if can get HD for it also

I dont know how to break it to francis yap that im going to quit. Its all good anyway, concentrate on studies, enjoy my youth, do a masters at 24 if I can afford or just land my dream job in 2008. Maybe it was just a wilful decision to forgo SMU, but then again knowing me, I would have gone and have a ball of time and fuck up my grades, like I have been doing so since sec school.

Maybe for the first time, I might have an immaculate transcript. Maybe. Getting there was hard, maintaining it is another thing altogether.

Read ST for the first time since 3 weeks, old man Lee and his merry men in white sure enjoy talking cock alright.

2007

2007-01-02T19:04:00.000+08:00

A new year, new resolutions!

1. Continuing doing well for studies (in hope of landing a good job for 2008)
2. Buff up and sleep well (so hopefully I look good)
3. Meet up with Yvon (so I can tell her how much she has inspired me)
4. Stop procrastinating (in hope that I can be more efficient and responsible)

Year of the pig guys, means 1983ers should start behaving one. Bring the animal out in you HAHA.

Merry Xmas

2006-12-28T11:20:00.000+08:00

Abit late but heck 12 days from 25th still considered 'Christmas'.
I've been so busy and tired with work backlog and assignments else Christmas would have been awesome I sweared.

Well I did recieved some cards and pressies from the teachers and a few friends. Thanks guys.

Working and studying have really taken a toll on me. I've lost weight HAHA, im more lethargic than before, I've insomnia, I've fallen ill easily and I think my life is going down the drain.

So I've decided to quit my job at the end of Feb. Take a 'hiatus' from work, go enjoy studying full time and get my life back on track. I dont really have the time to do stuff like i wanted like runnning, gymming, sitting down playing computer games or even take a book to read. Heck I rarely even watch TV!

And im really sorry for 'putting aeroplane' on people like pet, pang etc. Sorry babes, sometimes I dont even have time or too tired to have a quiet moment with my little brother.

I dont think I need to torture myself. After all, studying full time and working full time? Been that, done that and best of all I aced it all.

Good bye melbourne

2006-12-19T17:12:00.000+08:00

I dont think spending $60k on a degree is exactly money-smart. What about ROI? Parents are getting old, I shouldnt be selfish and waste that money plus compounded interest. Im sure there's a better use for that. Besides I've come to terms Im not going to study in a prestigious field like law/medicine/engineering to an extend, then I shant waste that sort of money on computing.

I just wanted to say thanks paul old man for offering to loan me a sum of that magnitude, save it for your old age. I really appreciated it.

If im going for brand name university, then clearly I might as well save it for post grad if im doing one.

Unless of course I get the winning numbers for Toto. Bleah.

You know what?

2006-12-06T20:54:00.000+08:00

Prison break is so damn good. Its seson 2 where the current episode stops at 13, followed by a hiatus until Jan 22nd 2007.

And did I tell you this is so awesome too? X-Men-like series. Its so good, you might put off sex just for this. And like all assholic production houses do, this one takes a hiatus till Jan 2007 too.

Flow@MOS

2006-12-06T00:44:00.000+08:00

Ha. I went with Pang to check out and sorta give local bands some support. Damn i'm impressed with west grand boulevard/concave scream. Awesome bands...pity Electrico didnt play. Met a few people there including some IJ girls. And Lydia asked me pose as her boyfriend, like what the flying fuck haha.

And no more coffee date... the other girl couldnt make, and so the star decided otherwise. "Meet up next time yea?"

Yah right.:(

So much for the bad, now for the good

2006-12-01T09:51:00.000+08:00

Pleasant surprise; I actually did superbly in my exams. OMFG. I was kind of delirious to score 3HDs/1D considering im working and studying full time. Maintain it for another semester and I'll really have a chance get a scholarship from TMC/transfer to Melbourne Uni on bursary or something. It will really lighten off the financial load literally.

Im going to have a coffee date with Yvon next week! Im like so happy and that everything else doesnt really matter now. I think this is like one of the better times ever since 2003. Its nearly as goood 2000!

Rhetoric Question

2006-11-14T14:39:00.000+08:00

Why do people who vote for the incumbents, start crying out about the GST hike to 7%?

Firstly its funny because it makes them look stupid, literally. Then it get offsets by melancholy because farts like me who thought otherwise along with every other dumbos feel the brunt of it at the recieving end.

And please stop comparing our low taxes as compared to other countries. They have a much higher wage to offset the huge taxes, they have minimum wage laws. Land, cars are cheap and they have unemployment benefits plus a huge natural resource to toy with, not to mention their very own domestic production.

Singapore is just different, way different.

18 days to my result.

2006-11-13T20:46:00.000+08:00

Gee, im hoping I didnt fuck it up. I dont know why I feel so empty these days, its like I didnt feel like working or studying.

Haha Iggy told me, his IJ mates said Im cold/dao. Its just that its really not appropriate for me sometimes, and that i have unstated rules to adhere to. I wish i really could say hi more often.

And prisonbreak is really good so much so that im downloading the season one HDTV rips. I know im wols but yeah whatever. And starfark is like some bitch; doing traffic shaping on my bitorrent downloads. Im averaging 15kb/s and for that 7GB worth of shows, it translates to nearly a week of continuous download, provided its constant! And hell no its not because its sooo god damn erratic!

This week shouldnt be so boring. Im meeting Elsa for ikea, Pang for his vanessa, Marc for shopping and Maha tells me, "Babe, saturday JJs dei!". HAHA

And Liverpool can go fly kite da, kanna walloped 3-0 away by Arsenal. LOL. When I saw 1-0 nil up to Arsenal, I smsed Ariff, "Livepool ha base alrdy da, dont waste time watching alrdy la".
He should have followed my advice, because he was telling me it was too early to conclude. If only I was so zhun with soccer punting huh.

Feer published what I would say a very good article on Meritocracy in Singapore. 100% emphasis on meritocracy is never a good thing, albeit inevitable but the degree should be moderated for the greater good. Meritocracy 'poisons' the society and it doesnt help with the impending divide between foreigners and locals especially with the go-ahead of more second rated foreign talents. The signs are not so obvious in primary/secondary but come tertiary/university level, the signs are very astonishing.

Moral of the story? Dont fuck with Far Eastern Economic Review, they certainly did their homework. Wah GST up 7%! In time to come, my meal in fancy restaurant is nearly equilevant to the tax. Thanks to the dumb fucks who voted in p@ppies once again. :(

Crooked women

"Women have a wonderful instinct about things. They can discover everything except the obvious."
Oscar wilde

I enjoy looking at that sultry expression of yours. You remind me of a wilful someone. The way you walk, especially your demeanor kind of cracks me up. I wish I could say hi often and get to know you better but I just cant for various reasons.

Last paper

2006-11-09T06:56:00.000+08:00

Been awhile since I last updated, I hope I score a good grade for this one with some last min overnight mugging LOL.

Oh its my first paper on a friday morning

2006-10-26T22:28:00.000+08:00

Can pass but the question is pass with what grade?
Horrible English. No wonder I was corrected and had to buy someone strawberry magerita ha. Perhaps when its all over, I should go buck up on my English.

Followed by back-to-back exams on monday and tuesday, Im getting delirious. Well at least when I picture a certain someone in my head, it does push me and I think i needed it.

Time to fuck the exam paper over. Its about time I own u 2006 dcn2 paper.

UPDATE:
Wah pui chao nua. I owned the paper till the last question. Good bye HD. I guess thats how you distinguish HD students from D students

My Macro economics revision

2006-10-18T22:59:00.000+08:00

Paying over the odds for Shincorp was bad. Once taking over, they realised subsidiaries were incuring debts during Thaksin's reign but were closed one eye(for obvious reasons) and that now they have to bear the brunt of it which equates to S$3billion. You might have heard similar dissenting remarks in connotations of "Cheng hu give bigger progress package to Thailand!!".

Then we start infering that the deal was not adhere to legally and now are forced to reduce the stake to 49% down from 96-97%. This forced sale if given the green light equates to Thai baht $20 billion loss. Simple math conversion points this to S$847 million additional losses.

You thought Suzhou was bad, but the Shincorp saga takes the cake literally. But Temasek takes on multiple investment portfolios, so in theory the damage is 'cushioned' but is definitely very substantially damaging as seen from reports of Singapore trying to salvage the Shincorp saga with Thailand's which I would like to put it, unofficial psuedo government.

So what are the repercussions? From economics 101, this points to a government budget deficit. And no one likes to see or think about 'deficit' because this means higher interest rates. Good for for saving but not for investment. This only accelerates the relocation of factories which translates loss of jobs.

Of course, to rectify it, you just need to collect more taxes and pray your other investment are making returns. Hence GST 8% comes nicely in place next year. And then we get a reality reminder from Mr Brown's rants before he got browned by Bhavani, that prices were rising.

Indeed but hey! No prizes for guessing who shoulders this burden.

"More good years ahead."

Economics

2006-10-12T23:19:00.000+08:00

I personally, everyone should study the basics of economics. I took macro and when I read the papers, it all makes sense now.

Why foreign talent was needed, why our GDP is stagnanting, and that andy xie from morgan stanley was right about Singapore's a place for attracting indonesian laudered money and why gahment didnt restore the CPF to 40%.

It all just made perfect sense, other than occasional bullshit from the incumbents. Now we know why private property prices rose while hdb prices dwindled.

If you are into playing shares in future, it pays to read up on economics, banking and finance. It wouldnt guarantee returns, but it makes u a much smarter investor than the average joe.

Moved

2006-10-09T22:43:00.000+08:00

I finally moved last saturday. It was hectic, busy and I'm just beginning to settle down. Would take a picture soon.

I ma farking nerd

2006-10-06T16:06:00.000+08:00

I feel so tired and jaded and my exams are like round the corner. My life can be summed up in mathematical way : (work+study)^n
I have no idea what is an appropriate value, all i know is I cant wait to finsih my cb exams and get that respite, do some running and gymming and warcraft 3 ok?

Then if all goes well, ill pierce another at the other ear, get a tattoo and attend some cooking class and sleep the whole holidays away!
I got summer semester but its as good as having holis anyway! HA.

Got to know this cool fella called Marc who seems to know everyone. Fan of jap labels and he knows the sidewalk10 cafe owner. OH DISCOUNT ON GRANIPH TEES PLS. Got like $300 voucher but it can only be used on capitalland mall. But fuck they dont carry the stores i want! Zara doesnt seem to acquaint themselves with heartlander malls huh.

OH 31st OCT, when you're here, I CAN THROW THE BOOKS AWAY! I got security on 9th Nov, but whatever its like holidaying time yo.

And I'm moving house tomorrow?! 5 blocks away; downgrade from a masionette, just as well, it didnt make sense in the beginning anyway. I bought one system 7 n 2 quick pick for tonight's toto draw of 5 mil! Lmao, i hope i win :P

People ask me why I dont have a girlfriend. Because I dont have the time and im in love with a lesbian whom I can never ever be with; the closest I can ever get is hugs and kisses ok. xoxo

PDA

2006-09-29T20:26:00.000+08:00

I went to the general office and Nadia told me the big shots went to somewhere to catch a student for PDA. I was like HAHAHA. Apparently a member of the public called the school up and complained and this was going for some time.

Then I was sitting at see-saw bench with Raem then this girl called (i think its spelt Kelly) came to us and asked us about Tim. We both were like taken aback. Another member of the Jiow fan club haha, oh goodness.

Then Raem went on with his palmistry and said ill have 4 relationships. I'm like okay... means Im fated to meet four women in my lifetime. I've already met Jiawei so she's out, Im left with 3. How could I possibly meet another 3 when I'm already 22? According to Raem, my next relationship will be short one, followed by a longer one; purportedly. Cool! Like I'll believe this bullshit.

And WHAT THE FUCK, electricity goes up by 2.3%? Do you know much that translates to?! Rising oil prices? Fucking bullshit. Oil are now $60 dollars/barrel compared to the exorbitant $80 back then. I wonder if this hedge was appropriate. I guess only time will tell if we gained or milked.

How do u pronounce coup?

2006-09-20T22:57:00.000+08:00

This classmate of mine was 'arguing' me over the pronounciation. He says its 'koop' and insists so! Wait even the whole class agreed its pronounced that way! Oh god can you believe that?! *slaps forehead*

ITS pronounced as KOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, minus the p. Its like the word - quay, I get bodoh fellows telling me "kway". I dont know whether to laugh or be annoyed.

Transcended

2006-09-16T19:07:00.000+08:00

I wish one day I could meet you at my best and sweep you off your feet. Maybe that'll be what I'll wish for come november.

Why man u lost?! Damn Adebayor! Ha. I played warcraft3 at far east and went online and dueled this level 23 fella. He was Human and I was Orc. We played on this gay map called turtle rock, since I hated this map so i tried to bring the game down to a tier 1 battle and I pretty much succeeded. Using an old school tactic, I towered him from outside. With catapults, grunts and FarSeer/Blademaster, he pretty much got pwned.

Pretty fun considering I hadnt played for months or years where in between I would play once a bluemoon.

I got back my assg results, pity couldnt bag a HD hattrick. 2HDs/2Ds, I think with the current effort I'm putting in, I might be looking at that very same grades on my transcript for this semester.

For now. Its assignments yet again. Just one and a half more months, I can smell that respite!

Im so lazy

2006-09-10T21:43:00.000+08:00

My second assignments are out in full force. So its time to work; another round of research here I come ha :(

Rahsid called me n said Francis lost his atm cards in JB. And what was like wtf? I hope he doesnt suspect Hamdan or me because we were his roommates and it certainly doesnt reflect well on our side because we were always together.

And Liverpool got creamed da. HAHA. Backside kana buttered nicely. Reina's antics reminded me abit like super mario when he jumped n punch the ball into the air to AJ who condemned pool.

I was Swissotel for dinner and in the toilet this gay was blatantly staring at my little brother when I was peeing. And I gave him 'fcuk you' look, and he was smiling away. Gee it gave me goosebumps and I just left after that.

Thrice in my lifetime dei; encounters with gays. Why dont I get that lucky with lesbians instead?

LMAO. IMF/WB rebuked Singapore for banning NGOs and any form of protesting. Its such a slap in the face especially when we spent so much money on making Singapore so attractive. 4 million smiles? And we got angry sentiments in return haha. Unprecedented too. IMF/WB should have known better Singapore is famous for barring freedom of speech.

It is still very saddening to know that we have this angmo-are-better-us mentality, especially in high class places, you can really see the differential treatment towards a local(asian) and an angmo.

wah

2006-09-09T13:33:00.000+08:00

Chao cheebye. CPI calculated WRONGLY! There goes my HD grade. And the marker had rub it in.

Missing the voice

2006-09-06T18:19:00.000+08:00

I lost my voice. Ate too much durian, developed a sore throat so thats that. So people thought i was so dao because I didnt reciprocate their greetings. I would love to open my mouth and blabble nonsense but my larynx was against it haha.

And what a surprise. The man himself, xenoboysg actually left a comment. Thanks pal, congrats for being nominated for the 2006 best sg blog.

Shiwei finally got his car, so he was going on and on from saturday till sunday where I met up with him to go comex. What a braggart :P Anyway congrats man. You deserve it bro, its futile storing up cash. Splurge it, save it or whatever you want to do with it, better enjoy our youth before it wanes.

And speaking about Comex 2006, sorry geeks like myself have to go and see even if there's nothing for me to buy, was fucking crowded. Finding a parking lot was such a chore, I was telling sw, "just park here la." *double yellow line you see.
He was like, "no, no cannot, after fine how?!". Then up ahead, you the scores of cars which are parked in single file, naturally this sick mentality comes into your head, "just do it. One die, all die haha" Not literally of course but with regards to being fined!

Humji kia decided to go one merry go round, before queueing like a silly goose for 1 hour before we got a lot. Anyway all computer fairs have the same shit every quarter. All the focus are always on LCDs, DVDs, Digi cams etc. Nothing to crow about, except that its more spacious compared to Suntec.

So I'm off to JB tomorrow till friday. There's this EAS bonding session, which to my dismay, I cant cant not go. I probably could with a special request, besides the school's being so nice to me, I didnt want to spoil whatever hopes or expectations they had of me. Well at least got Rashid and Hamdan haha.

Come friday, I'll probably pop by Hema's evening bbq, since i promised her. Must be some happening sial. Then Saturday, another happening gig at Youth park performed by Elsa and gang(Electrico, ronin blah blah). Haha. This one must go ah because I dua her a few times already!

And Man U vs Spurs. Eh Ludwig, sorry bro, we'll on different sides on saturday night in 2 different places haha. Ill send u an e-beer over msn as consolation. Enjoy weeping in Brisbane :P

And ode to Steve Irwin. Remembered watching him doing those crocodile shows during seconday school. Its quite unfortunate to hear he passed away due to a stingray attack. Must have been one grumpy stingray balls... I bet the family are so wanting to kill it. Well you can, and in fact, you can bbq it with sambal too. Shiok.

Oh what a rainy day

2006-08-30T19:00:00.000+08:00

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

2006-08-27T12:07:00.000+08:00

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

2006-08-26T15:50:00.000+08:00

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

2006-08-18T21:59:00.000+08:00

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

Busy, lifeless weekend

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

2006-08-13T15:03:00.000+08:00

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

2006-08-04T23:15:00.000+08:00

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.

Feeling the heat

2006-07-27T22:25:00.000+08:00

Full time work and full time study is fcuking no joke. I have assignments already out due in August.

Had macro-econ classes today, and it looks so much more balanced compared to the homogenous crowd I had in my IT module classes. Boy, the lecturer came in and started delving straight into the subject, no introduction, no prelude, yes straight to the chapter and concluded it in 2 hours.

For the first time in my life, I really paid an accelerated 200% attention in that 2hours timeframe. I got zilch biz background so I was really really struggling through, writing as fast as I could and simultaneously trying to comprehend word for word what the lecturer was babbling; and for the nth time I stood out yet again when he posed me a question(I wonder why its me) and Im the only non-biz student taking a biz module.

2006 must be stand-out year for me...
I stood out in CHIJ for the good and bad things.
I also stood out in HP because of me, the higher management knows my awesome name for mostly good reasons I believe ha.
And now in school.

Who says navy life exciting? I think my current lifestyle can be comparable...
I cant wait to watch The Lake House. I do enjoy watching a love flick, it does show u the lighter, emotional side of life, appreciating the finer things in in what we called a complicated entity known as love.

Oh any Emilee Kang is out? I thought she was a hottie though :)
My mom cannot stand Paul Twohill and so does Annabelle. One day she was asking me, "Hey mark, did u catch sg idol yest? Oh god, I cannot stand him! His hair, his face eewww. I totally dislike him! but i like you!". Awww how sweeet! haha. I think Richard's gay but I never dared to ask him, think I will ask Anna in private one day since they're so close.

Anyway Paul is a decent guy at least to me. I got the vibe that he was the down-to-earth sort despite his flamboyant, emo hairstyle when I met him at the auditions when Elsa introduced him to me back in Feb. Funny he got IN and she got OUT.

Life's such. Sometimes when faced with tribulations and there's nothing you can do about it, people present you with the cliche, ever famous army lame phrase(the lewd version), "suck your own cock."

Sometimes you wish you could but in reality you cant. So how?

I just wanted to say

2006-07-24T17:40:00.000+08:00

I love playing soccer in school with the IJ girls because I feel like Zidane or *insert some random legend* on the field.

One of those moments:

"Hey you, go away from me!" *I Snatch the ball and scores*

"Thanks man". *chuckles*

"HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!"

HEH.

For the first time since 2.5 years,

2006-07-19T22:05:00.000+08:00

I attended class.
For one moment I thought i was in a gay club.
Secondly, I dont know why the lecturer loves asking me questions. Everytime he posts a question and no one wants to reply him or they dont know, he will look at me with the yo-come-on-babe-i-know-you-know-the-answer look.
Hey what the fuck, Im seeing him again tomorrow! And thanks to him, im now known as Mr-Know-It-All.

Saturday Stay-In

2006-07-15T23:30:00.000+08:00

Today wasnt so bad. Read up a lot online. I have to admit that as a net savvy person, it is considered embarrassing to announce that only today 15/07/06 that I really got to understand the true meaning behind technorati's tag.

Haven't you read sites that usually have techorati tags saying blah blah and all that. Yeap, its supposed to categorise all these posts so they can be tracked for users who want to read news specifically pertaining to that category per se.

I actually have a new blog layout but I'm quite lazy to post it up. A cursory glance on this webby of mine would probably tell you how shoddy looking it is. Yes, you can see its a result of a slipshod work by a very lazy blogger.

But truth be told, I do have better things to do.

I'm practicing my ball game on the field with some of the teachers.
I'm building and learning php and .net applications.
Knowledge is power indeed; a daily routine in the morning at work include tuning into my rss feeds. A grand total of 10 worthy reads excluding sites that do not support rss.
Preparation for studies with Monash@TMC, guess its good bye SMU.
Daydreaming and sleeping.

I wonder why people are so hush hush about their future plans? Its like as if someone like me is going to jump onto the same bandwagon and exploit an anomaly in the system to gain an advantage before you.

I so happened to know one BMT mate who was doing the very same distance learning path as I am. He was very bashful indeed, evading some of my mundane questions like, "so how's the lecturers?" and started being a wet blanket and denouncing how bad IT is, and that he might switch to business instead. Right

He's the kind who believes fervently in Robert T. Kiyosaki, so much so if Robert told him to stay put when mired in a quicksand, there's a high percentage(A percentage higher than 66.6% though) that he would stay put gullibly. That famed fugged book is fundamentally flawed(debatable), google about it if you're interested. Plenty of interesting discursive debates.

IT may be placed in the lower rungs of the work field as depicted by reports but ironically it drives today's world. It is quite saddening to know how the general consensus view IT on the whole. Just because computers are easy to use, it speaks the same for everything else IT. The bigger picture which seems to elude the ignorant crowd is that the backend is very much complicated. Just one simple processing of a page does take up so much lines of codes.

I guess it truely takes one who has been in the know-how to know how exactly it feels like. IT conveniently is equated to "outsourcing", "indians". I guess thats how a noble profession(I would like to think it that way) has degraded to such a state.

It would require the same effort made by leading economist to analyse the economy to write an excellent application by a likewise good programmer. Both can be considered to be in the same intellectual capacity, only to be demarcated by different fields.

People say IT is a sunset industry, and then you start recalling that it drives today's world. And then you realise, the very same people are still doing IT. Which brings forward to this hypothesis - Why do people still get entrapped despite knowing it's a dead end? Its like saying why bother living when you're still going to die at the end of the day?

And I know another interesting fella from poly who is into ~~MLM~~ err I mean networking marketing. That sacred word is taboo to the zealous one whom he can conveniently lump Microsoft into his arguments, drawing along the parallels that his president had a vision akin to bill gates and that those who supported him(bill gates) became millionaires.

I nearly wet my boxers while reading that over msn because I was laughing so hard because to anyone with cow sense, the whole analogy in its entirety is ludicrous.

This poly mate of mine conveniently equates microsoft's vision to pure marketing, which was what brought MS today. Well partially true, but it was the ingenuity of bill gates who created the platform that has evolved today that was the key ingredient. Marketing just acted as the catalyst. Even if it wasn't adopted, it was only a matter of time.

So what does his company have to show for? Running a shoddy e-bay-like portal and providing educational courses as a front masking any sinister policies at work if any, run by a bunch of kids ranging from as early as 16 to 30.

One thing that was synonymous in the 'debate' was that Gates was a dropout and there were people in the company that were dropouts too but the question at large was, "were they in the same intellectual league as Gates?". Gates dropped out because education was impeding his very ambitious ambition back then. These kids dropped out because they really screwed up; no offence.

When you do a wiki on MLM, (I would like to think that the word wiki would too become a verb in the dictionary just as google has become), and that people who have dwelled long enough in the MLM business, they either become oblivious or indoctrinated by the poison by the man who's probably going to have the last laugh aka the chairman which no surprised is worshipped and held in high regard when he folds up the company when he has hit his profit quota.

With that said, I dont think I need to be hush about my future plans because I hope to ace my degree, do honours and work towards a career in the audit industry. So much for the cheap talk, I guess only the transcript will validate everything.

I guess SJI's famous latin motto should be embraced - ora et labora .

Zidane's showcases one his repetoire - Shaolin HeadButt

2006-07-11T22:58:00.000+08:00

Materazzi is one big arsehole. It is more or less confirmed that he provoked Zidane and apparently insulted him badly that led to the disgraceful act.

If you watch the video carefully, after tugging zizou's shirt, zizou annoyingly told him "if you so want my shirt badly, ill give it you after the game." Then Materazzi made some sarcastic comments and probably pushed it further, resulting in the infamous headbutt which will be remembered for sometime.

AND why all the footballers willing to act so gu niang just to get a cheap advantage?

Italiano Night

2006-07-10T14:33:00.000+08:00

Italy beat France 5-3 on penalties to win the 2006 world cup.
Everyone thought France might win with the legendary old farts like Thuram and Zidane, Makelele.
Guess too much spotlight was on Zidane's finale game but it eluded most people including myself that the current Italy squad comprised of legendary old farts in it too.

A shocking look at the entire squad list of both finalists could nearly make up half squad of the past and present Juventus. They were one of the best and greatly feared back then, you can only see the list of players that graced the team back then and understand why.

Angelo Peruzzi at 36 during his prime was solid as a rock when he was at Buffon's peak for Juventus deputising as Italy's No. 2
Lilian Thuram was playing left back for Juventus. Fucking solid as ever even at age 34.
Gianluca Zambrotta was left wing for Juventus, always sizzling down the flanks and still do after so many years though he was coverted to right back.
Zinedine Zidane was god for Juventus in 98 as a playmaker. It was no wonder he and Didier Deschamps (also a Juventus player who was excellent dictating the centre of the park) went on to inspire France and thumped Brazil out of the 1998 finals.
Alessandro Del Piero, the all time Juventus top scorer, though playing a bit part role for Italy still played a part in Italy's build up to the finals. Who cant forget his second goal against Germany in the semi's? His expertly taken right foot chip which went pass Lehmann which sealed the Germans' exit.
Filipo Inzaghi aka 'Pippo' was Del Piero's striking partner back in the 90s. They were akin to Man Utd's Dwight and Andy Cole back the 99 hey-days. Exceled as a lone striker whom he moved to AC later on where he became overshadowed by Svechenvko.
Fabio Cannavaro, aruguably the world's finest centre back. Yes even John Terry doesnt come close. At 33, he's been a rock in the heart of the defence and his interceptions against France's bore testamounts to it. He reads the game very well and especially with Buffon marshalling the posts has conceded only 2 goals; an own goal and a pen by Zidane.
Coach Marcelo Lippi, the Juventus coach back then, it was no wonder he drafted his old team back in the Italy's squad. One hell of a coach; he was won serie A titles, the champions' league and now world cup.

Their ages hover around 31-36 with the exception of the coach. 2006 finals was a very memorable one because of the old school kick ass players were gracing the finals whilst in their twilight years of their careers.

Chasing a lost cause

2006-07-03T23:39:00.000+08:00

Maybe it should have been given up when the friendship turned sour.
Even if it was a disillusion right from the get-go, but it did give hope, which was worth clinging on to, worth looking forward to it, worth fighting for.

Somehow one day we might just sit down on a dinner table during a quiet evening flanked by fellow diners and lament how much we have aged, and if I have a new 'dad' or you have a new 'daughter-in-law'.

I may have made that social faux pas, but on hindsight, it was for the greater good that I did. At least I was remembered for it.

Been a while

2006-07-03T23:05:00.000+08:00

Been catching world cup and enjoying my slack days at work. Timmy lee is back from perth. Havent seen that bugger in 5 months.

Knew him since K1 and boy thats like 19 years already. Stupid arse shot into some cunt and now his bitch might be pregnant. I told him I'll be honoured to be his bestman in the male nubile age range but not at 22.

Anyway, to the point, attended his so called his welcome back bbq at his place. And boy have we realised how much we have aged. His dad and mom looks older. His granny back then was still hyperactive, swearing like nobody's business, only to be bedridden and toned down.

Met up with Aikhow and Hanrong. Haven't seen these buggers for a while. My first encounter with them was in secondary school through Timmy(They were classmates). Caught up, talk some cock and commenting how jude Tim's younger cousin was.

Her mom aka his auntie was like 'interviewing' me during a mahjong session. It was funny though her dad looked god damn stern. I mean dude, i wasn't even tackling your daughter and besides any guy would think twice because he's like the passport to his beloved daughter, so cut me some slack.

Cool, I finally learned how to play mahjong amatuerly. But its much clearer compared to how Mingjie taught me.

World cup and some other stuff

2006-06-16T10:38:00.000+08:00

A little sad though, once I had company on alternate days and now im all alone at work. Its so boring sometimes. Really

And anyway I found this awesome kick ass tv video stream player! It streams a repertoire of various american and chinese channels including espn/espn2/espn asia!

Thats right folks, I am watching world cup live FOC on espn2! And if all goes well, I'll be able to watch EPL in their 06/07 season, now how awesome is that?!

Better not let starfuck find out because they will block the tcp/udp port. Everyone can go suck thumb and you will see me move over to StinkNet BB.

StarFuck is such a money-grubbing company, thats a prime example when the market is monopolized by such companies. Does it make sense to pay for world cup when nearly everywhere is showing it free including Melayusia and Indo?

And MOL is crap because they cap bandwidth on your bittorrent downloads(Average download speed is 10-20k MAX while my brothers on StinkNet BB 1.5Mbps can hit 60k at least.) and they do traffic shaping so that everyone has enough bandwidth? Our broadband service is really a far cry. Back in 56k days, I was getting pings of 200ms on Sole Survivor and Half-Life. And now on foreign servers, Im still get that kind of ping with the exception of local ones which equates to a 2 digit ms lag.

When I got SCV cable back then in 2000, it was fucking fast, it was blazing literally. Fast forward to 2006, it's performance is now a shadow of its past. Ok and so I heard the network is being upgraded to docsis standard 3.0. Does it even matter? The speed's still the same and my old modem cannot conform to that standard...

Why are we paying and paying? Oh yea, I forgot we voted P@P in aka Pay And Pay!

Move over P2P sharing, the next pirate in thing is pee2pee video streaming. * sniggers*

And England cannot play for nuts, the only saving graces they have are the enormous talents emerged in this golden era in the form of rooney, gerrard, lampard, robinson, terry, carragher, joe cole, beckham.

And individually, they are outstanding but they cannot seem to gel together! Eriksson is cock up manager, fuck i would have been a better manager! Who in the right mind plays two attacking midfielders together with no defensive holding midfielder?!

They should have brought Scott parker to Germany, he plays well for newcastle. No wait, he chose to bring in Hargeaves, virtually unheard of except in germany because he plays bayern munich.

With the kind of talent England have, they can play 3-5-1-1 or 3-5-2. Defensively and collectively, carragher, terry and ash cole are tight with robinson manning the posts.

They could play joe cole, scott/carrick as holding midfielder and push lampard and gerrard supporting rooney and still have beckham in the right flank and still afford to squeeze in another midfielder/striker like crouch.

Can u imagine the attacking potent when you have rooney playing behind Crouch and Lampard and Gerrard free to mobile around? These are box to box players who can finish well on their hey-days and the midfielder duo are famed for their 25-30 yard piledrivers. Just look at the second goal by Gerrard? Simply a steven-gerrard goal.

I have no idea why people like theo walcott gets called up and probably not used in the tournament at all.

I dont understand what Erikkson is doing and I'm not alone on this.

Meeting Gwen and Ken for midnight soccer at Chijmes, I hope its a good match!

Post dance ensemble

2006-06-08T16:57:00.000+08:00

Dance was really a blast. We were all given make-up HAHA. YES MAKEUP! Had like lip gloss and foundation on my face, looked kinda gay though.

The guys were supposed to look ridiculous but it turned out otherwise actually. Tim was supposed to sport a mohawk and i was supposed to be some durian head. Oh please dont use gatsby clay, it really spoils your hair! I had a really hard time washing. I went back only to find out the conditioner ran out. I was like bang balls at that point...

And the student stylist, i think her name's Germaine happily tam pa the clay and sprinkled lots of glitter on it and told me, "good luck with washing". I was like to myself. "aww fcuk!"

And the students were like so crazy over Tim aka Mr Jiow. They were like, "Oh Mr Jiow's soo hot!" Well he's handsome but he's married. Lmao? So they all were dying to take pictures with him and I was like the poor fella nobody wanted to take a pic with and then one started saying, "HEY no one wants to take a picture with Marco(new variation la sial), come lah i take with you, you poor thing."

I was made out to be so pitiful and for once i really i didnt know where to hide my face. And then out of the blue everyone wanted to take pictures with me... wow talk about being the poor thing!

Paul's leaving the school for good. Mrs M told him MOE has found a replacement and that his services were not required. I think its just a crock because the new replacement has nothing to do with his job scope. Well maybe someone has been telling on him *Ahem Francis*.

I was kind of sad when I heard it. It wasnt because he's not going to buy me lunch anymore or he's not going to help me anymore but he's like a father at work albeit talking cock and sex all the time but he's a cool guy and really cares for me. He thinks when Im successful, I will forget him lol. Well old fucker, if I am, I'll never forget you because at the end of the day, I'm supposed to show you my degree transcript remember? And how i'll get fucked if I attain cock up grades.

Part time photographer/dancer

2006-05-31T19:32:00.000+08:00

Elsa was late and had shingles. Yikes so she bailed out and I took over. Armed with my dad's casio exlim 4 meg pixel cam, I went around snapping the student's food. And some looked good, while some really looked bad, awww crap.

There were like many shots and its gonna be crazy going through the process of photoshopping them; Levels, hue/saturation, replacement color:(

I might get paid but at a pathetic fee because being an amatuer, I probably have to put in double effort than seasoned photographers. And there was a photo that was quite hilarious; it was a salad bowl and had a carrot that looked like circumsized cockhead and two nuts depicted by the cut-into-halves mini tomatoes. And because im like so into macro shots and that the entire photoshoot was shot in that style... I hope it isnt a disaster.

ps: Post sample best photos taken.

And, and, and limpeh is dancing in CHIJ ensemble concert haha. Now how funny can that get? We're supposed to do this hip hop/jazz thingy and its a teacher's item. And somehow as the dance progress, Hema and I will become the leading frontmen till the finale. I bet Miss Tan and Mrs Mathews will laugh their heads silly on that night.

And I got no black shirt, Im so s-c-r-w-e-d! There's one really nice, chic looking worn by a model in the stands of the Zara store but but the price tag too will blow you away and it doesnt make any economical sense to get one to perhaps wear once.

I happened to try my luck and sms Yvon, and she actually replied! A pity she couldnt come, she's having exams but either way, it really made my day.

GSS

2006-05-28T23:06:00.000+08:00

aka Great Singapore Sale. How misleading it was... basically took a walk down town with fab today. There wasnt much sale to begin with! Apart from Isetan and guess, the rest were just crap. But i did earmark what was next on my shopping list - an adidas samba shoe.
Welcome the to-be-4th shoe! Ha.

But either way it was a good day! Had a great dinner at Big-O. Platter for two is way better than fish&co's! And the "dark side" mudpie I ordered was fucking sinful. Yo but who cares man, the philosophy 'you live life once' is truely at heart.

Was playing pool after a long while. Gee, its been so long since we hanged out at far east mechmaster, those were the days man, when we were 17-19 back then.

Caught da vinci code, over the hedge and x-men3 over the weeks, really enjoyed it especially over the hedge. It was literally LOL all the way.

Tried the salon ah liang recommended near toa payoh, basically a poor man's toni&guy salon. Tried a faux hawk and it looked pretty cool; did garnered quite a number of compliments in school.

And i realised I spent like 600+ this month, and so its like 'frugal mode' next month. Told myself by year end must save up 10k. I'm definitely making it!

Mrs Mathews told me, the IJ pri school principal wants to matchmake me. Well mam, it better be good haha. Aesthetic fact: Secondary school teachers < primary school teachers.

And Christine is really a useless bitch. She doesnt seem to know anything! Not to mention niao and yau kwee! Draw $2k and got the cheek to say financially tight to buy a new PC or subscribe to broadband?! I mean she's sharing with her elder sister and is probably drawing that amount too. A budget PC costs $1k the very most and broadband is so affordable nowadays; Singnet BB cheapest plan is at $35+ while she can shell 15-20 bucks for 56k unlimited.
Family paid off their hdb flat and even own a car! Poor? Well my family doesnt own a car FYI.

What disgusts me over the week was how Paul helped to rebuild a new pc from an old one free of charge and solved her monitor problem. The least she could do was buy him lunch or something even if he said no. That's one thing the least you could do. Even if it was a cheapo canteen lunch, hey its the thought that counts!

And when invited for a buffet lunch at Apollo Hotel, she was like the FIRST to go and one of the LAST to leave and not to mention when there are dry snacks on the panty table, she can unabashedly take without asking.

Graduate from RMIT somemore. She's really giving a bad name to the alumni, no wonder she said she said she was looked down in Australia, i am really not surprised!

Knn, talking about it just makes my blood boil. Without any qualms, subjucated to the comdemn list.

Been a week!

2006-05-18T20:48:00.000+08:00

And hell was it!

Finally got a new phone - SE K750i. Pretty neat and cheap too(S$98).
It kicks ass and really makes nokia phones look passe.
Chilled with Fab for awhile at HV last week; ranting nonsense as usual.
Had a mini potluck at pang's house the very next day and had a great chat with MJ on the way home.

This guy seriously is the man. Highly motivated, street smart, hard-working and very disciplined. Hearing him tell me stories on how his family wasnt well-to-do, how at times he had to be frugal with food and looking at how much he has achieved today just makes me feel ashamed of myself. I pale in comparison in all aspects and am very far from the person he is.

He has mapped out his life till the age of 50 and that silly brother is still paraniod. I told him he was on the right track and that he will be successful next time.

He brushed it aside but Im sure he and I knew the inevitable if he continued perservering. He's someone i definitely look up and respect. If there's someone worth benchmarking against, thats Tan Ming Jie.
Bought this zara marvel hero tee with Fab. He took superman and I took spiderman. If there was anything lacking, its a Lois he needs to pair up with and a Mary Jane to complement.
Went for an interview to be an editorial assistant. I quite like the job nature. I HAVE to admit i swayed and pretty much sold on to it. Till Paul came along and slapped me out of it. The old man's right, dont jeopardize your degree, get it first then start carving a career later.
The inventory system is coming along real nicely and is on schedule for may end release. Apparently the freelance girl didnt get back to Janny so that means my system is the mainstream as of today. Big fcuking good riddance to manual and hassle updates on paper and excel!
Downloaded NFS:Most wanted and Winning Eleven 9. One word to sum it all - Euphoric! The graphics looks awesome and freaking sharp. You thought XBOX360 was awesome, wait till you compare it with the AMD64/7800GT. Its akin to a Mitsubishi Evo 9 VS a ferrari. The results are obvious. "GG."
Its officially I'm moving house albeit 5 blocks away. The room's a little smaller but its not a n issue. Im like designing my own room and its gonna be awesome. The fags/boys can come n hang out in future.

Hey there!

2006-05-11T20:56:00.000+08:00

PHP Geek

2006-05-05T23:55:00.000+08:00

The switch to PHP? Yesire. I'm find asp.net stifles my html/css codes. I may move this blog to a new website. May ask johnny if he's kind enough to offer a space on his webby and let me utilise his php/mysql functionalities rofl.

Having no visual studio.net does put me at a disadvantage. So I gave it up and now in the midst to redo the entire system in php.

Dancing was cool; was practicing with some of the teachers for some IJ youth day performance haha.

Freelance writing come true? I may call up this editor next week and see if he's willing to try me out on freelance for HWM. I find myself more towards the gadget side rather than games. But still anything goes!

Fag's birthday this sunday la sial. Wala Wala? Its booze, live muzik and more bashing on the incumbents babehh!

Its funny how three farts end up being good friends through army and share a galore of similar outlooks like ahem pro-opp, soccer, acting like fags and same frequency.

The teacher, the nus political sci student and the IT dude. Damn it must be fate. Army may have wasted our time, but I take solace in learning some lessons mentally, physically and meeting u cheebyes who showed me a different side of life :)

Cheers fuckers!

Oh by the way. Election posts are just personal views; there were no intent of malice or defamation. It should be taken with a slight pinch of salt, and Im not responsible for any subliminal influence you may have felt upon reading it.

Vote whoever you think serves you best. Just dont come back crying over split milk 3 years later when GST goes up to 8%. ;)

Why a one dominant party is a no no.

2006-05-03T17:46:00.000+08:00

Simple logic will tell you consumers do not gain from monopoly. Likewise would citizens gain if MIW swept all 84 seats in parliament?

Its a pity, there are quite a number of people who do not know how the political system in Singapore works. A lot of people say they are just concerned about the bread and butter issues, after all MIW is doing a good job.

If the people who do not realise the bigger picture that is, that the government determines your bread and butter. Hikes in transport fee rational? You stand to lose but SBS stands to gain after all they did announce they made a record profit.

Well its your choice to be suckers or winners.

Yes they have done a good job, Singapore is stable, the infrastructure that has been laid for for Singapore is today is laudable. BUT the lack of transparency in doing so is a serious cause for concern.

Mr Mah doesnt dare to disclose the actual cost price for HDB flats haha, im not surprised after all in the event, if truth be told, the jaws of everyone will probably drop to the floor.

Im really sick of the James Gomez saga actually. Day in day out since the day videos showed Gomez actually didnt submit his documents, MIW start taking pot shots and assassinate his character.

Did you know James Gomez is ranked 44th powerful man in Asia by asiaweek? LHL doesnt even come close! Oh never expect ST to report such stuff after all being ranked 140th/167 for press freedom is disgraceful for a first world country like Singapore.

I must take my hats off to WP and James Gomez for really keeping their cool. Obviously the general consensus might think he is dubious, but the fact is if he starts to lose it and refute MIW that they are lying, then we can start to see another round of law suits that will sue the pants off James Gomez or whosoever. In law, innuendos are very powerful; by saying that MIW is lying, it is insinuating that they are corrupted, criminals and unfit for government.

A perfect example on how TLH and JBJ who got sued till their backsides split apart for such labelling on MIW.

So why do you think MIW is slamming James Gomez so hard?:)

LYK dares JG to suit him? Any idiot will know no one has ever won a law suit against MIW in Singapore. Its like a walking straight into the lion's den unguarded!

And why is the media labelling LHL PM Lee? The government has been dissolved until nomination day when he gets sworn in IF he doesnt lose AMK GRC.
He's supposed to be known as the secretary-general for fuck's sake! Oh i forgot they're ranked 140th. OK.

Attending rallies, googling for information, checking out the forums definitely uncovers what you never expect in your whole life by just reading Straits Time every morning on your toilet seat!

Pity, I cant vote. No prizes for guessing who I will voting if given the chance ;)

Singapore is bigger than MIW, not the other way round.

LOL

2006-04-27T21:04:00.000+08:00

What type of singaporean are u?

So, you criticise the judiciary, you are SCANDALISING it.

You criticise PAP leaders (for eg. SDP), you are DEFAMING them.

You criticise the govt, you are DISLOYAL.

You migrate, you are a QUITTER.

You ask about the govt reserves & investment, you can not know cos it's NATIONAL SECURITY.

You ask for press freedom, you are a WESTERN LIBERAL.

You ask for more attention to mandarin teaching in schools, you are a CHINESE CHAUVINIST.

You travel overseas to talk to Int'l Organisations (for eg. CSJ), you are a TRAITOR.

You ask for more help to be given to the poor, you are BANKRUPTING Singapore.

BUT if you join the PAP, you are an ELITE right at the top of the list of RIGHTEOUS MEN. -

Uniquely Singapore.

A typical mundane week

Its basically home->work->home and repeat.

Things have been going on pretty well, I've been tasked to do an Inventory System so most of my time is coding and learning while taking tea breaks or sleep.

And if all goes well, I may end up as a freelance writer for gameaxis.com. Credits to Kenneth who made the effort to speak to the head editor; appreciate it. I'm looking at one of the several games where I can write a sample review for consideration. I really enjoy writing but I do not see it as a full-time profession but would relish the opportunity hone my writing ability and take it to the next level where my entries are judged by the public as considerations rather than rants that are posted in forums.

My brush with writing came last year during the infamous blogging saga which resulted in three farts writing a memoir for our platoon which i oversaw. It was very successful; Everyone loved it albeit the many grammatical mistakes that came along with it.

Johnny told me dictating your own job scope is a powerful tool and powerful it is indeed. You can specify your own job duties and feel totally unrestrained. It doesnt feel like work sometimes, believe me.

Fate

2006-04-20T21:57:00.000+08:00

What is fate? Is it some kind of paradox? Or was it a hypothesis that was formulated to give hope amidst failure? Or perhaps it was what theists use in their connotations against atheists.

As defined in our dear dictionary.com as;
1. The supposed force, principle, or power that predetermines events.

So who controls this force? Oh i know some theists will say God, atheists will say some thing otherwise. Seriously God knows!

My parents went to see this Indian medium twice in their lifetime. During the first visit, they were told, one day, they will move and stay in a bigger house. My parents were like, "right...". They could never imagine themselves staying in a much bigger house, especially when they were repaying loans like crazy horses for the 5-Room apartment. They just laughed it off. Years later, we moved.

To a bigger house; a maisonette.

Second time, they went again asking about the family's well being. Apart from the usual advices, mine stood out. He knew I was dating someone(Jiawei) back then. So he told my parents that the girl that I was dating wasnt a good girl and that we wouldnt last long. Again, my parents were like, "Nah, that's impossible, she's such a darling". My whole family liked her you see.

True enough, we broke up just before I was enlisted into the Army. It was an unforgettable 2.5 years relationship.

Finally, my parents realised that the Indian medium was very accurate, so they decided to see him for the third time to sought his wise advice on certain aspects. The old medium passed away a month ago, when they made that fateful call to seek an audience with him.

You could visualise my expression when my mom related this to me after all this. I was like what the fuck to myself.

Funny how things work out; my parents always took his words with a pinch of salt, laughing it off at times when it seemed not plausible. Now when they decide to take him 100% seriously, he is gone.

Its also funny how my family have unusually strong ties with Indians. My mom's best friend is an Indian, one of the son's best buddies coincidentally is an Indian too.

So was this a like prime example of fate? I was destined to stay in a bigger house, lose a girl that I thought perhaps she was the One. If I'm going to believe that old man's parting words for this one and only last time, then I'm probably also destined to make it somewhere in life if I worked hard and meet someone nicer along the way.

Im rooting for bolton!

Because Chelsea sucks so bad!

Techy Stuff

2006-04-14T11:34:00.000+08:00

Finally did a re-format on my computer. I just couldnt wait, wait till Vista that is; the new windows slated for this third quarter.

I had to anyway, Im on a project to program an inventory system for the school, hence i better made sure my computer was in sync! God damn, i hated the interface of the program the school bought and Paul was complaining to me, and finally I said ok, lets ask Janny up here. Up she came, and we told her how unfriendly it was and how perhaps i could rewrite it from scratch to suit the school's needs.

Lets say .NET is quite the bitch. The transition from asp to php was seamless, but not from asp to asp.net. It takes a while to swallow it down, especially when you're so used to the old asp. But I must admit its seemingly easier to code, its more dynamic and more object oriented. Its like for paging database records, I had to write an algorithm for it and now its like *snap* just include a paging property control in the datagrid.

ASP is like really history now, PHP is surviving because its open sourced and it taxes less on the servers. I mean who the hell trusts Microsoft haha. So embrace PHP/.NET, the web technology of the 21st century.

I cant believe Janny paid 2k for that cheebye useless program! I hope she pays me decently :P

Had a smashing saturday at Aki's house; we had BBQ.
Had a creative sunday at home; was designing the new template for this blog.
Had a good night sleep; Man u beat ARSEnal 2-0. Goals from Rooney and Park sealed the win. Awesome! Man u are officially the form team for now with 9 wins in a row. We just need to maintain that form and beat Chelski at Stamford Bridge and hope they fuck up along the way. It will be a close fight though Man u probably wont win the title but they will make Chelsea sweat for it.

Had a flabbergasted sunday night; Carol Cheong was crowned Miss Singapore 2006. Like what the fuck, she's quite the no brainer, no wits, no eloquence, I mean Im not expecting her to be dialectic, but at least answer question A with A instead of B!

Well we all know why she won - ( . )( . )

Extreme Makeover

2006-04-09T19:46:00.000+08:00

Spent half a day, designing and then porting over. My god, I havent done web paging since 2003, and 3 years later, it has evolved so fast especially CSS.

Lots of things left to be done like, styling the sheets, linking, iframes, minor touch ups. I quite like it. A very clean and simple look!

Screw ready made blogskins! HAHA.

Wicked

2006-04-01T11:51:00.000+08:00

An online puzzle well thought out by this high IQ 18 year old old called weikiat. Its fucking wicked indeed.

It has 41 levels to date and the furthest, one has gone is apparently level 38. This is subjected to change as puzzle fanatics are have a go at it.

I powered myself to level 34 in a span of like 6-7 hours yesterday. Yes staring perpetually at the damn screen albeit with some hints.

I decide to give up. I even dreamt of that last night! WTF; Im schizo.

2006-03-28T22:06:00.000+08:00

think im from ACS.

the auntie whom i ordered spaghetti carbo thought i was from AC.
The surveyor once asked me if I was AC.
Some people in poly thought i was from AC.
The gay who tried to befriend opening line was, "hey are from ACJC?"

I may talk, sound or look like a ACSian. But Im not! Dammit. Nearly half of the IJ teachers thought i was a AC boy.

The date

2006-03-26T11:03:00.000+08:00

I have to admit i was quite disappointed. I didnt screw it up, the mood, place was perfect. The disappointment stemmed from the date herself.

She really looked pleasant, and i was to an extend physically attracted to her. But what lied beneath was truely a letdown.

She's probably someone who still stucked in the lates 90's era; where the SNAGs are hot, Airforce guys are really cool and handsome, a guy has to be at her beck&call, the guy has to be older, guys must be willing to give up the moon for her. She's a very studious girl; she knows her priorities, she studies hard, really into CCAs and any parent whose daughter had a report card like hers would have been proud.

The thing about bookworms is they never go out to socialise and it takes a toll on them in the EQ department. And yes after a while, they get desperate and want to meet men. She's exactly like that, the kind of girl who wants to have a really fairy tale love chapter in her life.

Fast forward to reality, come on. Thats not possible in a materialistic and meritocracy society like Singapore whose basis is elitism. Its 2006 and socially, she's lagging by 7 to 9 years behind it. I really do like her but she and I probably in two different worlds no matter how hard I try to accept certain aspects.

The one barrier between her and me is her mentality towards love and her naviety to all things love. Its something that im not able to accept. Yes im willing to accept everything except that. She kinda played a girlfriend role that night and I was let onto a glimpse on what its like to be her boyfriend, and its not something i'll probably able to withstand long term. I said long term because I factored in the honeymoon period. When its honeymoon period, everything goes even if she's a bitch. Its a fact.

Not that she was a bitch, but she was very whiney when you dont reply her or you dont do what she wants you to do. Her threshold for pain is ZERO. A little elbow on me and she's like in pain. We got a little cosy but I didnt take advantage of her. I was a really true gentleman that night. The closest i went was putting my hands around her waist and holding her hand at times. It was a nice feeling but its not meant to be.

It all justifies.

2006-03-22T17:57:00.000+08:00

Luck does play a part. You may be brilliant or even dumb, but when Lady Luck starts favouring you, even that fella you always thought who was a loser may end up in a much better state than you are.

Betting; you can ride on statistics, by logic, you never lose. But when bad luck comes into play, the streaks you bet opposite can even go further than your lil brother can go at full length!

Job; you may have the same qualification as your peer, but you never get shortlisted for the vacant job that your peer is doing. And you know what? That peer may even know nuts to begin with!

Love; if luck runs out at a rate faster than you can pee, then you'll probably end up meeting girls not worthy of your attention despite your already lowered standards. Wait if its that bad, even the foreign bride wouldnt want your S$10k!

On a last note? You can do whatever you want, but if luck wants to thwart you, you might as well let down that pants of yours and let it fug your arse. Perhaps you'll see a change of fortune after a sodomy session.

Questions probably even God cant answer:

1. Why am I attracted to dumb fucks?
2. Why did I ask a dumb fuck out?
3. If attraction laws apply, am I a smart fuck?

Worthy mentions of the week:

Ludwig sent me a postcard. Pretty corny especially the drawing of that soccer ball ROFL. He's probably getting jiggy with his really hot room-mates as I blog.

Iggy SMSed me, "day of reckoning is here. course starts 31st July." He's apprehensive about being a teacher. So I told him, have fun with the babes first, prospects take the back seat. And he was like, "YEA YEA haha." TIKO BASTARD! HAHAHA

Fab went OCS. And he smsed me saying it was boring. Well its not boring when you're in the mud, sleeping outdoors while im in my bed cozing up to my bolster, covered with kilts in an air conditioned room!

Liverpool trashed birmingham 7-0. Good for the kop, but u're still going to finish behind man u in the league trophyless. Remember, the red devils pwnz joo!

What do you call someone who's addicted to blogging? Blogpho. A deriative I coined from nympho. Elsa falls into both categories anyway.

I wonder how friday's going to turn out. She's very excited and looking forward to it. I think she likes me, and i think im reciprocating it. Its all better than Chris**** urgh; virgin bitch! Its really bad, coz even old man Paul wouldnt want to fuck her too! So there!

School's boring.

2006-03-18T13:22:00.000+08:00

I thought this was damn funny. Someone in the forums asked for your EPL dream team based on the 4-4-2 formation. And this fella gave his two cents:

david james

moritz volz - titus bramble - jean alain boumsong - djimi traore

luis garcia - liam miller - eric djemba djemba - belozoglu emre

peter crouch - morientes

Subs : roy carroll , djibril cisse , sol campbell , lee bowyer , maniche

Thats aint dream team, its a manager's nightmare lineup! HAHA
