And there he goes...

My right chest hurts. For the last three days. No idea what's wrong.

And somehow it worsen over the night. Now it fuckin hurts whenever I do anything more than shallow breathing. Feeling tight inside. The next sneeze/yawn/sniff may just kill me.

Shall go see the doc tmr.

Should I not make it pass tonight, you know I love you.

The real cow. Who is sad.

I haven't felt sad for quite some time.

Today I went through my Locked Closet. It's an apt day, cold, grey and rainy. Couldn't remember for a second where the door is, but still I found it. I briefly glanced through photos of memories, and frowned somewhat at shots that I thought exist, but couldn't be found. Saw the silver box too, with the book of memories within, the gaiety of red a poor disguise of tears once laid.

I remember, how swift, the change of tides.

Subdued feelings, but not that sad.. not very at least.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I feel sad tonight.

It felt right, and for weeks I wondered if it's right and the season ripe. Thinking and feeling, feelin and thinkin, waiting for a chance to straighten my doubts. And right on the verge, the door slammed shut on me.

The sudden sadness, and then you know it. People sense tranquility before death. At that instance, it all appeared so clear all of a sudden. The one moment when you realise the answers to all your questions. She's the right one of course. Just that at that moment, I wish she's not.

How sad, that I know my feelings only when it's too late. Funnie, that she knows it before I do. It's supposed to be my feelings, damn it. Didn't know I'll feel sad till I really felt sad.

Most regretfully, when there's finally someone who fits, something screws up somewhere. The one girl who warms your heart flies away, the rest whom you know doesn't suit, stays around. I think i'm too nice, once again, yet I haven't even tried. It doesn't work out this way. I should stay a mean bastard.

What a chillingly sad x'mas card. Christmas have never been kind to me, that's why I've never like it much.

Another joke on me, thank you very much. The retarded 'ho ho ho'. I know what it means now. I'm the real cow.

i'm mean

I'm a mean asshole.

5am

I have a void in my heart that needs filling up,
and love on my hands that needs giving out.
I watch the minutes in time goes by,
yet did nothing to arrest my wasted life.

My swirling head of insipid muses,
I remember dreams from yesternights
3 minutes of surreality, without bearings on me.
I do feel like a fucking prick.

Where my sanity pole may be

I have to stop going around, breaking girls' hearts.
Not very nice of me.

Another night when my mind feels dull and listless.

"Drifting, drifting.. I'm drifting away.."

This place is in need of new breath.

Life

To quote my friend who's almost as brilliant as me.

I asked "when's the best period of you life?"

Angie, 7yrs old: "when I was 2yrs old; I have no worries and everybody pampers me~"

Tom, 28yrs old: "22yrs old when I was in university; I had so much freedom and studying is definitely better than working!"

Chris, 61yrs old: "55yrs old when I just retired and it's finally time to enjoy life with my beloved."

Mary, 50yrs old: " 48yrs old when my youngest son graduated from university and all my children are finally successful adults."

Jimmy, 12yrs old: "when I grow up! adults can do many things which a kid cannot do! I want to grow up faster!"

treasure every moment of your life.

Finale

Satu lagi.

I'm almost a quarter century old.

It has been a pretty touching few days since Sunday.. Touched and delightfully surprised.

It could be due to the fact that I am getting older and more charming. Or perhaps I'm just charming. *cough*

Just received my very first present for this year, together with a wonderful piece of cheesecake and a card from Weiweiweiweiwei. mmm... no wonder I had to undergo all the probings from her last night. Scheming girl... but oh so sweet.. haha

Really ought to write more, but this sudden wintry weather since last night do slow the brain down and halves the conscious time you have.

Snooze me.

The Good Old Days

Jeremy is AMok King
Dylan is AMok Duke
Yijie is AMok Jester
Yongli is AMok Prince
Alex is AMok Kia

We were known as AMok Party.
And we still are.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I messaged dylan on a whim, and he sent me a link for an online game, LoGD, an imitation of the classic Legend of the Red Dragon - LoRD, that we used to play on BBS years ago (1994 ~ 1996 ?)... That's the Bulletin Board System.. a country wide network similar in structure and concept to today's Internet. We were pretty advanced kids those days.

Childhood stuff that stays on with you. It still flows in our veins.

Cuban Rafters

I'm a little sadder than i think i should have been, somehow. Which mean it's getting a little too deep and a little too unhealthy.

I sure would love to backpack thru euro with you.

so Cuban Rafters tomorrow. 1 pair of tickets, 1 pair of butts, need one more. who can i get? shd have just booked 1 ticket for my solitary butts, given the odds. i can even shoot some pool alone.

A run will clear up the gloomy weather in me, once the gloomy weather outside runs off.

Paced

didn't read her blog for a while, and just now i suddenly panicked for a sec. now that i did, i'm glad she's fine.. still cheery and complaining and fighting at least.

i'm relieved..

i wonder when i can or will actually go down and see her..

how the importance of schoolshit pales in comparison when we take things into perspective. stressed over schoolwork? my ass.

get well soon, my dear fren..

A Bum

I have been very lazy today. I have been very lazy this week. In fact, I have been very lazy this entire semester. What if...

A thousand unseen forces are weighing down on me. Sometimes they make me breathless, sometimes they leave me exhausted. Sometimes I get sleepy. At times i feel relieved, but it only last till the next moment, when my mind awakens.

I went for a photo-seminar today, a talk by Straits Times photojournalist Ong Chin Kai. I borrowed a photography book from the library. After which I had lunch at 6pm. The smiling KFC idiot gave me a piece of drumstick instead of breast meat. That spoiled my day. I want to be a photojournalist. I also have a presentation on basic photography due on monday.

Things get uglier when you get too involved. Not knowing too much is a bliss sometimes.

The forces are making me sleepy again.

The Cleaner

Look to the sky and sigh out loud
Shield not my love, these wayward clouds
A brush, a palette in my hand
I try to wave them off.


50th Post. It really took some time.

[ mee pok man ]

I am hungry so i eat
there's no mee pok, oh damn it
I eat white rice, i'm Chinese
sometimes i have, spaghetti

Go to school, every morning
what's the point of, studying?
After one year you forget
what you learnt in Chemistry.

I took A.Maths, but dropped it
couldn't integrate, oh headache
I had B4 for English Lit
after i learn, write poem

Had a teacher, Evelyn Tan
She's quite lanky, and funnie
It's not too bad, my English
Maybe can be journalist

Jokers from The New Paper
I think they, cannot make it
Like reading, ToiletPaper
"(No pun intended)", my ass

I had eaten, so not hungry
mother cooked me, some porridge
She likes vege, i like meat
She says i'm a carnivore

S a n g u i n i t y

today is a strange day.

today, i've been talking to myself for the past couple hours. it's the after effect of soccer in the morning, the on-coming rush of endorphins during and after playing, like the consumation of love. it feels sanguine.

it's like the spiritual enlightenment and tranquility of religion. it's my religion. only happens after this passionate affair, feeling the flow of love running thru your veins.

i am at peace today.

when i'm at peace, i look at life in a different light. in the vivid colors that should have been, in the black n white tones that truth is.

I wish to feel like this every week.

A bowl for life.



submitted this for my computer graphics lab. i'm brilliant.

It's term break

it's term break.

omg.

2 months left till exams.

the fear of failing is a powerful force.

fear can propel one to do great things, like studying.

i am fearless.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soccer wasn't too good on sunday. Got rammed in the face as usual. Point blank. Left me a bleeding cut below the eye and a new definition of shape to my beloved specs.

I'm going to break the bank and get the Canon PowerShot S2 IS with my life savings. It's gonna leave me penniless after that, but what good is an index finger without a shutter to press on? ... Not much i'm afraid, except for digging the nose with.

Goodbye My Lover

Another listless night where I sit around and doodle away the time, then pretend to be surprised at how late it is, how fast the day faded away.

Ate too much.


My canon powershot A70 died.

Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend.
You have been the one,
you have been the one for me.


What next? I miss the memories we took.
With my hands, thru your lovely brown eyes.

And I still hold your hand in mine,
In mine when I'm asleep..

[ Memoirs of a klutz ]

If you can look at love objectively and reason through it, then you're not in love.

3 weeks without playing soccer.. my life is on a steep decline.

On a slightly happier note, I finally bought myself a new bag. rummaged thru the entire far east plaza, yet failed to find That One.. settled for another out of desperation. Shall not waste my time searching for bags again.

Cost a fuckin fifty bucks... not so happy after all. Paid for it thru NETS, so that I won't be overly affected by the amount, till i observe the minute change of number in the monthly account statement.

Numbers fluctuate all the time anyway. My derived world of illusions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


As seen on one of those motivational calenders on the sister's table.

ENTHUSIASM
Enthusiasm is the mother of effort, and without it, nothing great was ever achieved.

... smart. That explains alot of things, if you think about it.

Explains how I can sleep for 2 hours and jump up at 7.30am to play soccer till noon, yet impossible to sit down and read my notes for an hour after sleeping for 9.

Enthusiasm.

The same kind of 9 hours as the 2 that gave me boundless energy to run about for 4 hours. fucking maths again.. everything's an inequality.

I should get one of those calenders.

My obscured skies

I feel different today.

Turned star-chaser on fri nite/sat morning with moobs at the airport.. Seeking the Perseids meteor shower but the blasted skies wouldn't clear with the clouds stubbornly thick.

Holed up at Terminal 2.. an old haunt full of memories, numbing coldness and familiar paths. Burger King at 2am. Sprawled over the open-air carpark till day broke.

Had a nice time nonetheless.

I feel different.

Maybe i'm getting a grip of myself.

Have decided to forsake the diving trip for my advance license during this coming September break, somewhat with a heavy heart. Hopefully there'll be time and money left to go for the december trip instead..

I feel solemn today.

Forsaking my religious Sunday Soccer tomorrow morning, in view of my escalating pile of shit from school. Is this me?

Where is the love?

and,

Where is the love?

Can't find it no more.. lost within those tumbles of baggages.

I feel gray tonight.

Into a daunting journey

Today is step 1 of a monumentous day.

Today, I signed up for the Standard Chartered Marathon '05, all 42km of it.

Another tick on my list of "Things To Do Before I Die".

My very first marathon... 4th December here i come, albeit on trembling legs.

The basic fucking maths

During yesterday's Algorithms lecture, the lecturer was talking on and on in a foreign language.

Then he mentioned something called limits and L'Hopital's Rule.. and continuous functions.. and differentiations... and integrations... then he said..

"You studied this right? The basic maths"

The basic maths..

The basic fucking maths.

No sir, i'm afraid not.
I passed my bloody maths but i had absolutely no idea what's going on.

Today is a fucking sad day

Sunday, August 07, 2005

The Law of John Doe

Some time ago, I was reflecting upon my life. Somewhere in the twenties.

The list of my plausible achievements accomplished can't fill one side of a post-it note folded in half.

By the law of averages, people reach their expiry dates in their 70s if nothing goes too terribly wrong.

By the law of elementary mathematics division, i figured that i've already spent 1/3 of my life, provided that nothing goes terribly wrong as well.

If John Doe has a pie and he gave 1/3 to Government, how much does he have left for himself?

By the law of elementary methematics subtraction, he has 2/3 left for himself.

Wrong.

Because out of the remainder, the large of the 2nd third of the pie will be spent slaving for money, while the last third of it will be focused on spending that miserable amount of money on upcoming medical bills, family expenses and throwing it down the drain for 1/3 of John Doe Junior's very own new slice of pie.

So how much of the pie does John Doe have left for himself?

By the law of tough-shit, all that are left are crumbs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the other hand, I've already had more than my lifetime's share of injuries. Fell again during soccer yesterday, that's twice in a week.

And both time on my left side. My old fractured wrist and dislocated elbow are hurting again.. something's not quite right from inside. And i'm going back for more tomorrow morning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And i totally forgot about youjin's birthday. It's on 27th July... i think?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Laid my hands on Tony Parson's The Family Way.. Brought a new perspective to how shitty life can be with a kid in the equation; the fallability of love after marriage.

Makes me wonder if I'm doing the right thing with my life. Am i being foolish and waiting for the wrong purpose? Shall I just take whatever comes my way?

Laid my hands too, and again on God's Debris.. I feel clever when i have it with me.

Life is a smorgasbord of probability.

I dreamt of me covering my face as we walked past each other
I dreamt of you not taking a look at me
I hope my dreams dun come true.

Hilaire Belloc

"How did the party go in Portland Square? I cannot tell you: Juliet was not there. And how did Lady Gaster's party go? Juliet was next to me, and I do not know."

- Hilaire Belloc

Suddenly remembered, from The Little Book of Great Quotes.. or something like that.

Scrubbed

Was showering and went about scrubbing myself clean with this rather useful body-brush that I bought weeks ago.

To cleanse myself of all the laziness of the past 3 months I thought.

And I really scrubbed myself thoroughly clean.

A bit too thoroughly in fact.

Overly well done.

I may have overdone it.

And now my balls kinda hurt.

... f u c k ...

The last day

Finally, consummating my love again after weeks..

4 hours of sunday soccer
3 hours of sleep prior
2 cups of coffee
1 cup of tea
0 days of holidays left

here I am, still awake to savour the last of this 3 month break, which on the last day, doesn't seem that long after all. Just to think of the list of things that i've yet to do.

Like all good consummating of love, it was awesome while it lasted, yet still too short to my liking, leaving a taste of wanton feeling lingering in my legs. Scored a rather loopy goal too.

Dying for the next bout of passionate love-making.

Summer Night

on this summer night in the summer sky
the little girl she came
on the painter's board she saw
a summer sky on a summer nite

stolen glances on moonstruck eyes
the wide world she gazes
awaiting the falling stars
on this twilight summer nite

upon the stars she wishes
a wish captured with eyes shut
lasting it a little longer
this constellation of summer stars

the little girl she stood
holding on to that elusive wish
a lonely river of milky way
still waters running deep

sky was breaking, day was near
the painter's board he kept
and the little girl may she remember
that starlit sky on that summer nite

God's Debris

I'm half agnostic and half atheist. To be honest I'm not entirely sure of the difference. Therefore I'm a bit of both to be on the safe side, so that people can't point their finger at me and say, "But you're an atheist what!?".

As far as I'm concerned, there's no basis for the existence of a god. It's just a convenient excuse for all things unknown, for all things too good to be true and contradictingly, all the bad that baffled mankind. It's god's will they say.

On the day I returned from my diving trip, I reached home and discovered that my keys were left in school. So off to the library I hopped while waiting for the sister to get home. Somehow by fate or whatever, I ended up with this rather interesting book:


Nah.. just kidding..


This is the one.. by Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert.


Douglas Adams.. now Scott Adams.. both are genius to me. An excerpt:

"If you believe a truck is coming toward you, you will jump out of the way. That is belief in the reality of the truck. If you tell people you fear the truck but do nothing to get out of the way, that is not belief in the truck. Likewise, it is not belief to say God exists and then continue sinning and hoarding your wealth while innocent people die of starvation.

When belief odes not control your most important decisions, it is not belief in the underlying reality, it is belief in the usefulness of believing."

"Are you saying God doesn't exist?" I asked, trying to get to the point.

"I'm saying that people claim to believe in God, but most don't literally believe. They only act as though they believe because there are earthly benefits in doing so. They create a delusion for themselves because it makes them happy."

And he writes again

And so I'm back again, lotsa stuff rampaging through my head, dying to be noted down.

After two days and a hundred trips running up and down the stairs, I've moved into my new hall room on the 2nd storey at long last. Farewell 1-231, hola 2-229. End of the toiletmate whose peeing aftermath looks like a burst of shotgun fire, but also the start of the new toiletmate who's a fat smoking alcoholic. I dare not imagine which is worse.

I like my new setup.. A new beginning..?

The whole of last week was spent in the good company of my fellow Logs Of The FOC. Carried lots of chairs. Dumped hundreds of freshies' smelly bags. Butts absorbed thousands of bumpy bumps courtesy of sitting at the back of the lorry for 10 days. Laughed incessantly at tons of nonsenses. Number of freshies I now know from this Freshmen Orientation Camp: Zero.

Unfortunately this crappy week has been somewhat shadowed by a little troubles. The rising of the tide before the last one ebbs. Will I ride over this wave soon?

Found myself blocked from her MSN list.. I wonder and wonder why. A few more days to a year since the seeds were first laid. How swift, how unpredictable, hearts can changed.

I miss you.

And then there is this other little bugging thing. Wrong feelings, wrong time.

May you have the sweetest dreams
of shooting stars in boundless reams


What moments of turbulance yet again..

The way back

If you hate someone, will you ever love the person again?

In a state of desperation, will you say things that you never mean to?

Last words.

my scraps of last words, that I never get around to finishing.
let it be?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

was a blooming day in early july
the leaves were new as were flower buds
one hear the whispers in the wind
what sweet secrets when summer departs

in time that came, some seeds sprinkled

there were rainbows on some days
and skies were clouded with names

were not the love so sweet
that make honeybees blushes with red?

The muddy swirling

Been to the doc today and he said it should be mucus getting into the ear when i equalised too hard. Should clear out in a couple days.

And my head's swirling, as is my heart.

Was wondering for a while, and sort of came upon the fact today, not by accident but rather by another bout of curiosity. Still it came as somewhat startling to me.

Have never really expect it to be.

I feel guilty. It would have been far simpler and easier had things just gone their way, straight ahead till it disappear beyond the horizon, far away from memories' clutch.

Guilty. Was it the book of memories that I painfully left? I wonder how you are now.. Feels horrible when i have no one to ask. Been trying to walk away from all these, but it's painful when I have to keep it all within me. Today it comes gurgling out into my mind again.

I long to talk to you, but I know if i hear your laughters it will prolly melt me down all over again. Now my head's swirling around. My heart's swirling around. The entire world is swirling around me in a big dizzy circle. i feel sick.

Really hope it will all turn out fine for you..

Happy Birthday

"Hey, Happy 21st birthday.

If life is a winding journey of ups and downs, you're the pebbles that I upturned at the highest peak. Joy and bliss in life, always.

I Dived, and i dived and dived and sleep and dived and dived and dived.

Back from the diving trip at Pulau Dayang and it friggin rocks.. woooohoooooooooooooo!!!!!!

Yeah I'm still alive and largely unscathed, except that I still have this swaying feeling, like i'm drifting underwater. And the ears seems to think that i'm still underwater as well, having some slight pressure at the drums that i can't get rid of.

All else, diving is awesome. whoaaa!

Hoards of photos this time round. But later man..

Before I Go

And I woke up this morning, met with some kinda sad.
Supposed to be the happy sort of day,
But it wasn't yet to be.
Never expecting it, to be quite so bad.
Such a little thing really, but oh why?
Did I fleet across your mind,
As you left me out?
Did I, lasted a second,
Before you strike it off?
You are my bucket of regrets
That just got poured over my head
And now it seems that, yeah,
You were always swirling in my mind.

Now I depart with swabs of grey clouds above me
Maybe up north the wind will whisper
And a rainbow cast for this journey.

Atrophy of the brain

Too much boredom leads to brain atrophy.

It occurs after spending great hours staring into space and wondering what to do for the remaining hours of the day. It then discreetly enter itself into a loop, until all remaining hours are spent, deep in wonder.

Then you get stupid.

Example: I spent my entire day in wonderment of what best to do in order to maximise my life. Cest La Vie they say. Sieze the moment. I tried, but the moment struggled, and it just happened that I took quite a while to sieze it.

Nightfall, and I hurry out of the house so that I can make it for the last bus back to school. I have yet to realise that I have turned stupid-er already.

Made it with half an hour to spare. So I went to 7-11 to get some drinks, to toast myself off for the trip up north tomorrow.

Brought to the counter 2 x Vitasoy, those 375ml packets for $1.10 each. Amounts to $2.20. And a little box of kueh lapis, price unknown. So i asked for its price before paying, and cleverly avoided paying an atrocious $4 for that ridiculously small piece of cake. Smart, I thought. It's not even from Bengawan Solo.

While waiting for the bus, it suddenly hit me like a cake of kueh lapis falling onto my head. I've paid $2.20 for the stupid vitasoy. When I could have gotten a 1-liter bottle of my favourite soya bean milk, nice, fresh and calcium enriched for just $1.70.

I can hear an entire row of kueh lapis smirking at me from the factory rollers. S T U P I D.

Terrific

Terrific day.
It's been terrifically boring.

I know not what to do, and do what I know not, and not know to do what, and to know what not, and I do know what not, and not know what I do, and dunno what dunno what, and I believe you know what I'm talking about.

I'm a genius.
Shall go watch Supersize Me.

2 more days to diving.

I'm an amphibian

You know you're an amphibian when you can..

1. See with clarity in the water

2. Stay submerged in water for hours

3. Blow bubbles through your nose and mouth simultaneously

4. Spend half the effort and swim twice as fast

5. Look up at bikini babes from below without getting slapped


You know you're not really an amphibian when..

1. Your mask fogs up and you go oh wtf!

2. You get sunburnt and you go oh wtf!

3. Your air tank runs out and you go oh wtf!

4. Your back and legs ache after half a day and you go oh wtf!

5. You realise bikini babes dun stay forever in the pool to get gawked at and you go OH WTF man!

And that's it for the theory and pool lessons. Pulau Dayang on next Fri.

Hey fishy fishy..

Restless again

It's a wretched morning. As per all soccer mornings, I had eagerly stomped out of bed, only that I was going to try out my new singular pair of contact lenses. After 20min of prodding, I had managed to insert the right lens amiably and to a certain extent, the left one as well, although it seemed to be strangely inverted. Poking of fingers in eyes causes broken blood vessels. Both eyes.

Then came the weather boardcast from HQ. Rain. No Play. Curse and swear. Another 15min of digging to get the lenses out. And back to sleep with two bloodshot eyes. That's why i love my spectacles so.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~


10th to 12th was spent in school as the important Logistics strength of the Seniors' Camp. It was a stupid camp. Great amount of time was spent doing nothing in various tv lounges waiting for stupid games to be carried out. Those were periods of great difficulties punctuated with some moments of brilliant nonsenses, thanx to friends who had cleverly dragged me along to the stupid camp.

Great boredom can sometimes result in brilliant moments of inventiveness, sometimes stupid but often hilarious, and that's how we pass our time. In short we call ourselves Logs.


Gabriel. One-quarter of the new a cappella group, N4.


There are also characters from the camp whom we'll remember for time to come. The Idiot who has an idiotic face and behaves like an irritating ass. Leopard Skin who wore this skimpy swimming trunks with leopard prints and has a stick of a body. The disgusting CJ with a truly gruesome and monstrous frontal V-shaped wedgie, and whose face i felt like punching the day I saw him. And of course, The-One-Who-Ate-Our-Basketball. We have no doubts where our lost ball was.

It was that bad that we went around picking durians from durian trees scattered around the school compound on Sunday evening. And failed miserably. One will never notice it, but the day you decide to pick durians is when you'll find out the high population of illegal durian pickers in university. They beat us to every single pulp.

So we tried again on Monday morning, and got beaten twice over. Bored and without durians.


On a parting note: Humongous UFO landing pads along Old Tampines Road. What the fuck are those?

Cave men

You have to descend the slope then beat about the bush before you can enter the cave.

The public nose-diggers

I was on the train back to school moments ago, late evening, coz i realised that i've brilliantly left my unread notes in sch and the stupid exam happens to be on tomorrow afternoon.

This Indian guy in working clothes sat across me, on one of those 2-seaters. Okie no prob, and i went about fiddling with my phone. When I look up for a moment, that fella was disgustingly digging his nose on the bloody train which wasn't exactly empty. He spotted me looking up and discreetly put his hand down.

And proceeded with rolling the pee-sai up before flicking it to the ground.

fuuuckkkkkk..... I turned away, looked left looked right, then saw the nose-digging thing going on again. each dig is of course proceeded with a roll and a flick.

thankfully, he alighted at Farrer Park. Then another Indian chap took his place. Okie no prob, can't be any worse i thought. I'm still a racially harmonious guy.

And you know what.. YES YOU KNOW WHAT! the fukking indian guy took out his finger and stuff it halfway up his nose again. FUCK!!!!!!!! ... and roll and flick... and dig and roll and flick.. and dig and roll and flick.

What the fuck's wrong with these people?? Trying to show that they are skilled labour? And right in front of me damn it. Contemplated taking their pics with my cam but... i'm afraid of them flicking their peesai at me in retaliation. That's way too much violence in those fingers.

Taser stun gun footage.

Irritating mad blabbering woman got shot with a taser after she got pulled over for speeding in Florida.



If you're a woman, pray hard that you won't get zapped by a Taser as well and end up moaning like exhibit 3a. Check it out, and make an intelligent guess where that shot landed.

I hate it when woman cry like that. It really really really gets on my nerves. For her behaviour and the noise she made, oh man the friggin noise, she deserves to get tased 3 times a day till she quiet down.

Will we get to see the shock inducing Taser gun in Singapore?

Typical female Singaporean >40kg says:
"Oh so much current in the body.. Can lose weight."

Opps

I thought it was gas, so I fart. But it wasn't.

A New Beginning, again..

So a couple hours ago I officially bidded farewell to my old blog, which was still known as an online diary when i first started. It's been a wonderful 6 years of ups and downs, almost a quarter of my life.

A quarter of my life... doesn't that sound monumental?

This farewell should have been bidded weeks ago, if not for my woeful rate of getting things done, however exciting it may sound. All these damn cascading style sheets stuff have been winding me up too. Took me days just to make the photos turn out right without all the ugly borders, so you better click and take a good look at it, even if it may be better for them to remain small and blur and ugly.

Bahh.. may this be an equally fulfilling journey.

Europe, conquered... Maths, vanquished.

Perhaps a tad overdue, but all special things deserves a mention.







Need I say more?



Yes i do want to say more. Many weeks ago, before the final, and knowing Youjin's uncanny inability with betting, I implored him to bet heavy on an AC Milan's victory. "YOUJIN, buy milan leh. Then my Liverpool can win. Buy more please." "Okay. I think milan will win anyway."

Match day. Chuanzhong and talisman youjin were over at my place to catch the game. Within a min, we were a goal down and my heart sank to the groud. Walk On Walk On... By halftime, Milan was up 0-3. I looked at CZ and CZ looked back at me. We looked at the TV and the 40,000 Liverpudlians looked back at us. I then looked towards the east and i could feel the sun saying he will be taking MC at dawn. I felt like beating up youjin.

Second half resumes. In the living room, the general mood of despair overwhelm the money-winning mood 2:1. Then Gerrard flicked a header in. 1:3. A glimmer of hope! "Get another 2 to make it 3:3 and we win on penalties!" I exlaimed hopefully against the reality.

Then 2:3. Vladimir Smicer the forgotten man thumps one home and the fans took the roof off.

Then still 2:3. Gerrard tripped by Gattuso. Penalty. Alonso took it. Dida Saved it. I fell down. Alonso whacked in the rebound. 3:3. I jumped up. CZ jumped up. Youjin sank. 40,000 in Ataturk Stadium jumped up. A few hundred thousands more in Liverpool jumped up. Italy sank.

Injury time. Shevchenko shot from a yard from goal. A few million mouths opened in unison in fear. Dudek saved. The bloody Ukrainian shot again. The Pole saved again. The few million mouths breathed out together once more. Youjin and Italy sank back another inch. 3:3.

Down to the penalty shootout. Serginho missed. Hamann scored. Dudek saved from Pirlo. Ciise scored. Tomasson scored. Riise missed. Kaka scored. Smicer scored. Dudek saved from Shevchenko..... and half the world erupted in wild spontaneous celebrations.

Youjin's betting slip, from looking so smug and safe at half time, now turned into worthless celebratory confetti. What a good friend..

................... take a break ........................

Somewhere else, on a different battleground, yours-truly, the under-dog, the perenially under-performing under-grad, engaged in a failing tussle with Maths, the representative from the over-empowering education structure over a semester-long fight. Make it 2 semesters if the first semester is included, whereupon the hero had skilfully evaded a headfront confrontation by dropping the foreign subject.

The characters and gameplay may differ, but the heroic plots remains. The results are out. A 'D' grade was received, and a D is a pass. The greater evil has been defeated, the nation saved from prolonged slavery and the world rejoices.


So here the hero stands tall, one leg onto the next semester. Despite being totally incapable of integrating or differentiating the simplest form of useless equation, the nightmare has been vanquished.

Maths, I spit on you.

Weak

Burnt. Scorched. Punctured. Wasted. Crumbled. Weakened.

And that's about as far as I can think right now. Quite a disastrous Sunday Soccer kick-about on a personal level. Haven't felt that weak for a long time. Perhaps I'm sick. Having a mysterious cough.

2 weeks have past by, and the slacking regime will have to stop, before I end up poor, thin and malfunctioning. This week shall be the start of a focused and determined life that would preferably be lived to the fullest. Even the more or less confirmed failure of my maths paper will do nothing to dampen this gung-ho spirit.

Now all i need to do is to sleep and be well rested for the impeding journey, then satisfy my craving for stringray, and start thinking about how not to slack.

The Great Internet Conspiracy Against Me

This blog shouldn't be taking place here at home, tonight.

In the great plan formulated after I woke up at dinner time, post-mahjong-hangover, I'm supposed to be designing my own face for this blog that's gonna take over the blogosphere by storm.

oh dang, i dun feel like writing anymore

End of the world

Did anyone else got spellbound by the trecherous lightnings streaking across our sky moments ago? The electrified atmosphere got lighted up every few seconds, and I was secretly fearing that i would be the next to get lighted up, together with the bus that i was on.

I suppose it would look quite funnie, a smoking bundle of human mess, holding on to a battered copy of Paul Murray's An Evening Of Long Goodbyes.

It's all over now. End of terrifying lightnings, no more rain and clouds, which means tomorrow will be another blazing hot day for soccer.

We seriously got cooked while playing on Friday morning. Could feel the naked skin sizzling under the shade. And ended up taking a cab to a place for lunch which was just a 5min walk away. Under the sun.

A particular bitch

The female assistant at the NTU dental clinic is a bitch. Her fats spill all over her arms and her saliva spews like a broken fountain when she talks. And she has a habit of slamming the phone down without saying a simple 'bye' after calling patients regarding appointments. She must be cheap labour.

I think i'll call back and irritate her for a while before shouting BITCH and slamming the phone down. That should provide entertainment for a couple minutes.

On a different and more polite note, I caught the Israeli film Bonjour Monsieur Shlomi today and I think it's simply brilliant and funnie at the same wonderful moment. The grandfather weaves in and out of the screen, with words that fluctuate between brilliance, predictability and insanity. It also helped that the main love interest looked quite gorgeous and she happened to go topless for a brief second. Charming really.

Seriously, why watch mindless hollywood flicks with the same old familiarly boring plots when there're such other occasional gems to choose from?

Red and Blue

there stood a stalk of
violet in brilliant blue
where tears have dropped
and fallen as dew

a rose in velvety red
the lady accompanies
poised with coiffured petals
oh innocence robbed

Dog-ears of the pages
in the book of love
that wrote in sadness
Of the girl who's red, and blue

Doesn't it irritates you to no end when the urge to shit comes right after you bathe?

while whoring off my talented works on MSN,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me says:
what barriers of love
crumbles to ashes
with the touch of the lips

what chills the air
but warms the heart
when love and love entwine

Me says:

Me says:
roses are red violets are blue... so cliche

For Janey, Once upon a time

what barriers of love
crumbles to ashes
with the touch of the lips

what chills the air
but warms the heart
when love and love entwine


From my old diary.. didn't know that i ever wrote it. Little treasures you get, when you revisit the past, from time to time.

Crimson Red

And the sky a crimson red
I hear rain dropping
and feel it wash away
yesterday.
