Don't get me wrong. I still hate pink. Just because I'm wearing one today and bought another pink striped shirt the other day doesn't mean that I'm a convert. The point is, the T is suppose to be an oxymoron of sorts - like the 'good things hitler did' is similar to my preference for pink. Something like that. Anybody who's able to express better what I'm getting at here please let me know and I'd improve on it. Anyway you get the point.

Before I left house my mom's like "I hate guys in pink!".
Then when I saw Nelly it's like "Whoah! Lovers' costume!" or something.

I always think there's that something about guys in pink. Just makes you stand out from the crowd. And since I don't have the 'gay' physique, I won't need to worry about giving the wrong homosexual impression here.

Plus, it's only 3 for $10 each, or 2 for $12 each, or $14 each. Grab yours @ some mat skateboarding shop in Far East today! ...But I think I just bought the last piece. :P Btw, mine's a regular guy tee. NOT the "baby doll" version as featured.

It's booktime again!

Well if u think that TDAT (I'll tell u wat it means the day after tomorrow) is scary, well this book is scarier. The images that they've painted here so far is far more scarier and real than any other disaster scenarios. And the frightening thing is, YOU CAN'T DO A DAMN THING ABOUT IT. anyway I think he's GOT to be one of the smartest author I've come across so far, next to Kurtweil I suppose. I just picked it up in the library a few years ago and I can't stop recommending it to people ever since! If only people would have more faith in the NLB than 'Sunny' or 'Sans'... I mean hey! It's improved man!

I just met the nicest man playing gb today. Well he CLAIMS to be a 36year old salesman from italy who just started playing the game yesterday 'cos of some magazine he read and the closest he's ever played is worms. Who cares if he's faking it? He sure sucks more than me, that's for sure - haha! so the newbie part can't be much of a lie at least.

The point here is, he's nice.

I mean how many nice dudes can you find in cyberspace? Even the cynics are thrown out the window! sarcastic: nasty. wisecrackin: nasty. Real trash of the earth scum that beats wife and rapes little children: nasty. It's behind this curtain cover at the comforts of our homes that really makes you question the essence of Man in itself. Or affirm the bit about us being bad 'supposedly'. The spanish kids go 'jajaja' all the time, followed by some (assumingly) profound profanities interspiced with words like 'fuc k' or 'cunt' (since u can't swear but the moderators obviously don't know what 'cunt' is or don't have a life), or the (presumably) american kiddies do their 'i hate you' or the 'you r not suppose to...' stuff, or the other under 14s just swears and goes room hoppin each time u win them...

Nobody needs to care about 'niceness' since there isn't anybody REAL here in the first place is it?

Well I don't really care if his wife REALLY was calling when he left, or if he really IS a man for the matter, but thanks to you mangusta, I now know that nice people really do exist online. I hope you have a good life, wife, family and career too "mangusta" - whatever THAT means.

Please I beg you on my knees. Don't do this to me.

The words cut me like a stone. Not that anyone's having needed to say those words to me. I knew some couple's quarrelling downstairs, but when you hear the girl WAILING the words out, boy did it hurt. She's not even screaming. It went beyond that and back, the kind with the passionate cry and shrills in the middle of the night. And then she ran over and hugged his legs. Pretty drama huh.

It just pains me to hear such stuff. NOBODY is worth it. None at all. Not even GOD. Should god (forbid!) one day forsake you, do you go running to him clinging on to his feet asking him to not go? Wake up dear, FOR FUCK'S SAKE he's left you. Nothing you say or do is EVER gonna bring him back. Even if he did, for how long more? You can give it all you've got in a relationship but you gotta keep your dignity. Some people see that as chasity. Nudity. Pride. Money. Whatever. The end of the day, you can have my heart, my money, my house, my all. But dignity's one thing that I own. And NOBODY ain't gonna take it away from me. Not unless i throw it away and fling it round your knees. The heart's the most prized possession and you've given it all away. If you don't at least keep something, then you've lost yourself in the whole love thing. Who's gonna love nobody then?

I'm pissed man. I really do. You should NEVER treat a girl like that. EVER. I hate begging, and you shouldn't make others beg by their own freewill too. NEVER.

I feel like going down there after he's left and offer her a tissue. A drink. Something warm. Unnoe, or something. Anonymous. To let her know that there's still some love left in this world and that she should spread some out there too instead of pouring it to some jackass that just swore to her and induced her to say all those stupid things. Silly girl. Maybe I should. Maybe I would. Instead of sitting here blogging. Like now.

Ok. I have to drag my sorry ass (both cheeks of them) back to school on 31st May, 3rd June and 7th June. Been doing alot of frivilous reading while I'm sick and sleeping very little - it's either the head, the neck, or the weather.

Bumming aside, I'll need June 4th 10.30am too. I got selected for the internship interview. yay. Yay. YAY! \(^_^)/ !! Okok, there's still a selection after that, but as long as i go cut/dye my hair to a decent style/colour, i've got a chance! I love exploiting loopholes in the administrative system!

THIS has got to be MY reading list for the summer. There's more on cencorship in accompanying pages, and it's interesting how words like "lousy" were actually considered 'vulgar' some 50 years back. Did you know that JD only published ONE novel his entire life? Or that JD actually means Jerome David?

I am well read because I have a passion for life. We become stupid the moment we become specialised. S-T-U-P-I-D-E Stupid, that's what you are. There's just this ring to the word that makes it amazingly offensive. Sometimes simplicity works like a charm. I mean being an idiot or moron just doesn't quite cut it, since it's well developed to be a slang in my social circle. In fact, the term sorta have this exclusiveness to it in itself. Nincompoop is... Well, do you really wanna call anyone that and risk sounding like one yourself?

The flu's getting to me, but I just gotta save these stuff somewhere:

I AM SICK. No, not the sick of stuff sick nor the sick in the mind sick (which i already am, yes), but as much as I hate to succumb to my mental demons, my nose has been on a rampage ever since i got home.

And finally resumed my OC watching since there's now more supply of it to go on! Anna! *Swoon!* How do you EVEN find somebody with that kind of spunk (not to mention the funky hair too!) in real life! Fulfills most criteria that I'm sucker for almost immediately!

1) Great tan (ok well, maybe not, but we can work on it)
2) Brains! check.
3) Funky hair! check.
4) Great legs (don't think she's all that tall, but i'll make do; eh, looks ain't everything, and the avg local gal is but a mere 1.58cm +/-)
5) Lack of bountiful assests! check. (okok, i know almost everyone qualifies on this one)
6) Minimal flab content! check. (yah yah, hollywood fantasy, but still, this is all just a dream rite?)
7) Sea sports! check. (she sails! Though i think her kind of boat is faster than mine... but still, HERS are waay cooler!)
8) No rebonded hair! check. (see 3. Did i say funky hair?)
9) Spunky sunflower personality! check.
10)SEEEEEXXX APPEAL. check.

...And the spurt carries on! This time as a farewell card...

Ok. It's been along time since I did kiddish fun stuff like these. But anyway, that has GOT to be the coolest apology card I've ever done in EONS (personal catchphrase/word of the day)! I mean it's prolly gonna end up in the dumpster soon so thought i'd better take a pict of it for memory's keepsake - Plus! It's Uma. So 'nuff said.

I just don't understand myself. Laziness simply knows no bounds in this one. All it took was a simple action for me to unravel my wallet, dig out the ugly mugshot I took for my driver's licence, throw it into the envelope and let the snailmail system do its job. Viola! And it took me like wa- 3 weeks? Just to do all that?? I mean I certainly owe my friends an apology!

Well, of course not everyone gets the same personal sincere gratituous treatent. In the realm of GHZ, regardless of RLR, sexual orientation, watever, as long as you are pretty AND smart, YOU deserve special treatment! :P

So, to the 'denizens' of EH, I'm really sorry that laziness got the better of me k? Here're the stuff that u req. I'll try to suppress my lazy instincts and post the stuff in the mail by tomorrow! m(_ _)m

Book Week!

Ok, so I lied. Sophie's world is still stuck at chapter 2 while I haven't even touched Catcher in the Rye yet. Been totally engrossed and fascinated by 'How To Be Good' all this while! Contrary to what my bk buddy would say, it's actually all very interesting, even better than 'About a Boy', if I may say so.

SO! If I actually have less of a life than I already have, I think I'd have devoured that book in one sitting. Just realised I read just about ANYTHING - well, almost, except all the artsy fartsy book prize winner stuff and classics. Guess it must have something to do with all the Catherine Lims that I've been reading in Primary School! Yes. Stoic, classy contemporary Cat whom 1/2 the time I have no idea what she's writing about! I mean I fig that since local English is always so down-in-the-doldrums, that would be a good place to start and brush up my language (look how I turned out)!

Here's MY pick of authors for all time:
1) Crichton Mike (though I've swallowed just about EVERYTHING he's written)
2) Palahniuk Chucky (who writes weird stuff. His latest involve a boy shoving candle wax up his *ahem* - and I don't mean the donkey. Go figure.)
3) Nick Hornby (I think he's the most 'authorish' of the lot. The former 2 sells ideas. He sells books. And he looks like a troll on his website. :P)
4) Ha Jin (for a boy-do-i-feel-lucky-i'm-not-chinese-chinese affirmation and insight of feudalistic china. And the bugger writes in English too!)
5) Stephen King (ONLY when there's nothing much to borrow in the NLB)

I NEED A JOB

Are ang moh's ang moh really that bad for them to resort to formulating such chicken feet tests? I mean if singlish ah beng me can get 10/10, there's no reason why anyone else can't right?

Anyway, talking about proverbs, here's a really lame proverb pun:

But nobody would prolly get the joke unless they follow the comic though...

I don't get it. Nobody bothers to do a decent discography anymore. After 1 hour of guerilla searching, I still have no idea where to get the non-pirated version of some of Avril Lasagna's classics not featured in her albums like "Get over it" or the G&R cover "Knockin...". So until then, I shall continuing combating piracy my own way by not buying pirated stuff from piraters but getting the free version online.

Finally got my hands on the "Sophie's World" book! 1st chapter seems pretty promising (well there's TONS of the so called 'chapters') but it seems like heavy commitment reading to me. Don't wanna end up like another 'Dreamcatcher' where i took like 3 months of 'book rotation' @ the NLB before i finally finished it. Maybe I should start with something more bite sized like Salinger's Catcher in the Rye...

Look ma! No straps! Unfortunately ladies, this new invention doesn't work well in water. Skinny dipping anyone? Hmmn.. Or maybe I shouldn't tell anyone that...

Have you ever have the feeling of being passed over for a promotion because of your race/language/religion?

Well I just had.

Regardless of RLR my ass indeed. Just because I'm not majoring in Elang, I don't qualify for some fucking internship. What rubbish. i mean, I took the module, shouldn't the prog be limited to those who took THAT relevant module instead of letting some muthafucking idiot who did like Introduction to English and declared major to do it?

Personally, I don't blame the department. Protecting their own, isn't that what family and uchi/soto distinction is all about? I blame MY own department. The geog students are going overseas to study landscapes. The pol science students are going thailand to do sai gang for the chamber of commerce. The social work students are doing some intern over the hols for 4MCs. The Elang students are going SGH.

What's the psych department doing? Chasing lecturers away and prioritising modules for year 3 students because there's not enough to go round. INSUFFICIENT MODULES!! I should have known when your major has to SHARE department with some other more established department.

And stupid doofus me had to go admit that I'm a single psych major. Hopefully, by declaring dbl with Elang, I'd be able to make them reconsider my application. Why didn't I do it earlier? Stupid stupid stupid. And blind not to see the simple solution. I just hope it's not too late...

Yucks! The new blogger layout look so kiddish! New target audience aged 8 and below huh. Sheesh...

Seems like nowadays people are talking about van helsing, like it or not.
1) It's not a GREAT movie
2) It's not a LOUSY movie
3) If you can appreciate some campy wild-action fun movie like "the mummy" (and its sequel), why can't you regard this film in the same genre and feel the same way about it?
4) To compare it with some LOUSY big budget unfunny comedy like "the haunted mansion" is a cardinal sin. I mean don't these hollywood big bosses ever learn? To have a story with a big house and people and ghosts trapped in it just doesn't sell.

Me? I think it's the trend of current movies. No brainer, fast-food straightforward entertainment. Mr Huge Jackass is not all that hot when everyone else (with him) is not dirty and grubby with the rugged manly charm. Kate beckinsale is a babe as usual (MOFGosh! just look at that waist! - or the lack of a waist for than matter! invisibly svelte!) The story? Maybe this will help For one, it's contemporary screenplay fantasy to combine frankie, doggie and the count together in 1 sitting. You could have called him Val Kilmer and it wouldn't even have mattered: the 2004 version has little to do with the Stoker original.

So there. My ratings? pass!

It just occured to me that my online blog reading community has expanded tremendously. Dunno whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, but well, at least when I'm dead there'll be little pieces of me hidden in the prefrontal lobes of numerous people walking down the streets. If I were dead and all these people were to gather together at the pedestrian crossing, would my soul be ressurected momentarily?

So exciting!! The timberwolves are trailing by 1 with 1.5min to go in the 4th quarter. And to think they were leading by 14 at 1 moment. Why can't those players wake up their ideas?? C'mon. Do the MVP KG some justice. Loyalty is hard to find these days... I don't have sports channel and the ONLY way i can watch them play is to go over to JX's place for the finals! ...And this is only the Sac Kings. We're not even talking about the spurs here. U guys need divine intervention man. Gd luck kiddos.

Ok. So they won. Thank goodness.

Wanted to catch Kill Bill 2 yesterday but ended up watching DOTD instead. Halfway along the film, it suddenly dawned (no pun intended) upon me that I had ended up watching the film just to satisfy my deprivation of 26 days later - another MUCH better current zombie flick that I had missed due to stupid exams. Then me and my friend were discussing about late great sincere non-big budget films in the market, and there were none that we could think of offhand! Everything's so 'hollywood' these days and campy. I don't know how many times I've told my friends that "it's gonna be some campy fun", but that's just the current trend now isn't it?

The Smell of Youth - by me.

To take a whiff of fresh air
And not knowing what you've smelt

Amidst all that idle sweat
With much ado about nothing

But then do you really care
That is the smell of youth

Unnoe how sometimes those vulnerable moments just hits you, and you just sink into this sappy nostalgic epiphany...

Some Songs will never fail to tingle me:

Saltwater - Julian Lennon
1st of May - Bee Gees
Running - No Doubt
I'm with you - Avril Lavinge
Come Away with Me - Norah Jones
When She Loved Me - Sarah MacLaclan
Come with me - Shino
Xin Dong - Shino
Chun Zhen - Mayday

Went to VJ and just simply MARVELLED at how some things are changed, but yet still stay the same. Nobody who taught me before are even there, and half the school's revamped and new. It's like I just totally WASTED my whole 2.5 years back then. I could have achieved so much more, but juvenile me just let idealism carried me away. It's like how you can still picture yourself sitting there in the concourse bumming your youth away, but in a flash that was 6-7 years ago.

Well, this is gonna be a long update.

I'll start from the back.
Something spooky happened JUST. Here I was happily checkin my defer*ns mail when all of a sudden i saw a mail (listed under 'junk') being addressed to my email FROM the same defer*ns mail. Lik WTF! The subject was something dubious like "hello" and it contained some attachment labelled "important.zip". I mean first thoughts would be that it's some virus, but then stupid up-to-date hotmail scan didn't register anything?

Now what if THAT was my subconscious trying to contact me somehow? I mean it was dated 30th and at 6.50+ am in the morning. When I'm supposed to be sleeping? Ala Fight Club?? Unnoe how 2% of the population is schizo. I mean chances are it's prolly a virus manifested somehow, but knowing me, I wrote a note to myself. (-_-" It reads: I know what "I" did on April 30th. What do "I" want? Feels kinda spooky while doing that (we'll see YOU write something absurd to yourself at 12 plus in the morning and not pee in your pants) I'd REALLY freak out if there ever will be a reply come tomorrow. My family's not the sort to play such pranks. Anyway it's handwritten so I'd definitely know MY handwriting! ...Unless I have an alternative one too. ...Or maybe I'm subconsciously ambidextrous! Whooo...
