Even crazier ex-girlfriends'

Well now that 2009 is here, I'm back where it all began!
It's back to the old “Carpe Diem” days...

"BABY ONE MORE TIME" : The Britney Spears Tribute

2008-12-19T23:32:00.000-08:00

Everybody loves a comeback kid.

This is my tribute to one of the best comeback's I have seen... ever!

The “LEGENDARY” Ms Britney Spears.

I ain't gonna lie man, I still have a school boy's crush on her. I am not going to deny it and I'm damn sure many guys out there still feel the same.

This is to celebrate 10 years of one of the best entertainers of the last decade as well as one of the biggest selling artist ever.

10 years ago, 1998... This was the video that began it all...
“...Baby One More Time”

Then the song from 2000 with the title that just won't get out of your mind!!!
“Oops!... I Did It Again”

2001 showed the world what 'Sexy' meant
“I'm A Slave 4 U”

2004 gave 'Sex-pot' a whole new meaning
“Everytime” and “Toxic”

Here are some of the videos put together over the years into a megamix including the disappointingly average songs from “Blackout” album.
“December 02 Megamix” and “Megamix”

Now here comes the comeback though I wouldn't classify her as a comeback since she has never disappeared. She has shown that she can be down to the lowest point in her life, and yet she will never be out! She didn't give up and came flying back with one of her best albums yet.

Looking at it in another perspective, she gives people the meaning of never giving up and never giving in despite everybody around you thinking you are over.
She's one of the best entertainers the world has ever seen and there's more to come, that's the best part.

Here are some of the “comeback” moments that has happened...

“Womanizer”

“Circus”

Britney cleans up the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards with 3 awards:
'Best Female Video', 'Best Pop Video', and the coveted 'Video of the Year'

Wiping the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards with 2 awards:
'Best Album for Blackout' and 'Best Act of 2008'

Never give up in what you believe in. Never give up what you are good at. And even as things don't go your way, just find your way through and you will be right at the top.

"GET THE PARTY STARTED"

2008-12-08T02:28:00.000-08:00

Finally, my favorite time of the month is here...
“OH MY DECEMBER...”

LET THE PARTY BEGIN!

Here's what's been going on so far...
Sara's and my rendez-vous @ Forbidden City Indochine

We do look good... Don't we?!

By the way... She spilt THAT drink on me!

Kat's, Marilyn's and my crazy night out @ Orchard Road

My buys for the party season (So far...)

These are from "Woonderland"

I love this bloody cologne... ARMANI DIAMONDS (Josh Hartnett)

It's damn sweet!

Here's the AD for the Cologne

And I got this from "Agnes B" for free...

Yes they are condoms! HAHA

And all these are just the tip of the iceberg...

"WRAPPED UP IN BOOKS"

2008-11-08T00:13:00.000-08:00

I love books.

There, I said it. I love books.

Hard to tell but true, I may hate studying and all the crap that comes along with it. But when it comes to reading, it's one of my guilty pleasures.

Who said book lovers or... hell... who said book readers are “Nerds”! Yeah even skirt chasers can be avid book readers.

And when I say an avid book reader, I don't mean reading books about sex, dating or any of those bullcrap. I'm talking about real books here.

Anyways, this book is highly recommended and apperently so since it did win '2001 British Book of the Year'. Yeah I guess many of you guys have heard of it since it has been released for such a long time, but this book is seriously without a doubt:

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

“MAN AND BOY” by TONY PARSONS

Here's a little sypnosis (taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_and_Boy_(book))

'Harry Silver is a successful television producer about to turn 30. He is happily married, has a 4 year old son and drives a convertible sports car. Then he spends the night with a colleague from work and his life falls apart; his wife leaves him and emigrates to Japan, he loses his job, he loses his father and he has to cope with being a single parent... While coping with the stress of being a single parent, he meets another woman at a coffee shop, a woman whom he as already met with her child...

Many writers and critics have praised “Man and Boy” for its portrayal of modern-day single parents. It also shows what a single parent has to go through including love, stress, worry, happiness and various emotions.
Many reviewers have said that it made them feel deeply sorry for the father and cry many a time before laughing out loud at the crude jokes and “what-everyone-thinks-but-doesn't-say” style of humor.'

Why do I like it though I'm not a parent, let alone a single parent (thankfully for those who knew my past know when I say thankfully I nearly thought I was going to be one of them) is that it really brings out real emotions. It's what millions of people go through everyday. Maybe not quite single parenting, but the emotions are pretty much quite similar.

And the real message in the book is what means the most to me.

“LOVE MEANS KNOWING WHEN TO LET GO”

"WHY DOES IT ALWAYS RAIN ON ME"

2008-11-07T22:52:00.000-08:00

I AM JUST SO SICK AND TIRED!

When does a person's problems actually stop?

Of course I know that everyone has problems. That's not what I'm complaining about.

What I'm whining about here is when does the distractions of the past actually finish to let you progress on to future distractions?

The long road ahead

To be fair and true, I have moved on and I'm defintely, without a doubt, loving where my life is heading. I'm at the right place in life now and loving every moment of it.

The only drawback is that there are major distractions in my past that will not let me go. Then again, I hope the past refuses to let me go rather than what I fear is I'm refusing to let go of the past.

Old distractions + New distractions = Very distracted mind

I thank myself for having a strong will and head to be able to continue breathing or I would have gone insane.

I'm actually not afraid of all these “problems, distractions, etc.” old or new. Really I'm not. I'm not afraid of most things, so what are problems to be feared of?

What I'm pissed off about is that there doesn't seem to be a limit to how much a person's problems can amount to and for one of the rare moments in my life, I actually slipped up.

I actually allowed the problems and distractions outside affect my own mental performance in camp. That is not how I live my life. And it's damn fucking fustrating!

Sure it's easy to say, “Oh you just have to learn to relax and ignore these problems,” OR “Just don't think about it,” OR Just focus on what is at hand...”

It's always easy to say. But when you are in this shit, you will only realize that those words really mean nothing. It's a much bigger task then it seems to be.

I can only think of one solution at the moment. And it's probably what I do best.
I just put on smile and let the world think that I'm not having any problems.

That's the only way I can be distracted for the distraction.

My rainy days

I'm looking for sunshine after the rain, but where the fuck is my sunshine?

The place I want to be

"WOMANIZER"

2008-11-01T03:33:00.000-07:00

I don’t really care what some people say but I still think she’s damn fucking hot!!!

The mother of all comebacks!

She’s really back baby!

"I MISS YOU"

2008-10-25T19:07:00.000-07:00

Once in a while, I still look back at what we were and wondered what we could have been.

I’ve heard that “Time heals all wounds”, and yet for some funny reason, I don’t want this wound to heal. I want to leave the scars of the battle on me as a reminder for what happened.

To have a link to the past to prevent the future from happening again.
I have been keeping to my “post-you” vows, to never get my heart torn apart again.

Yes now recently met friends may think what they want to think but I still stick by my vows. For I have my reasons for doing what I do. Of course I do apologize for those who I unfortunately chosen to break your hearts.

I guess what happened to you in the past tends to affect what you do in the future.

And I know you have been curious for more than 2 years, wondering what I thought we could have become.

Do you really want to know what we could have been?

We could have been…

"IDEALS LOST"

2008-10-25T19:03:00.000-07:00

Let me get lost in this dark alley, hidden from you and everyone else.

"TIME TO SAY GOODBYE"

2008-10-25T18:41:00.000-07:00

Alas, I can finally see the silver lining.

The end of the rainbow where the pot of gold is.

I think I am reaching the stage of balancing and enjoying my life without having too much or being too attached to one thing or person.

I don't have to worry about money now.

I don't have the habit of gambling too much anymore.

I don't drink unless it's just chillin'.

I don't club unless it's a special occasion.

I have really cut down smoking and quitting is a realistic goal.

I am finally getting out of the shit hole.

WAIT FOR ME!

"FLY AWAY FROM HERE"

2008-10-04T04:53:00.000-07:00

I. NEED. A. VACATION. PERIOD!

I haven’t traveled out of “SUNNY SINGAPORE” in a million years and I need to get out of here. Mind you, Malaysia does not count.

After so many false starts (Bali, Bangkok, Hong Kong, etc.), I don’t think I can take it anymore. Especially since I have to face a virtual sausage-fest everyday.

I can’t wait for that small little window given for a holiday.

I don’t care where I go, I just got to get out of here.

And so I’ve got to start planning now… anyone out there wanna travel either in December 2008 or January 2009 please let me know now.

"MR POLICEMAN"

2008-09-13T20:58:00.000-07:00

I’m so damn tired! So damn fucking tired!!!

Why oh why did they have to change the system to be more strict starting with out batch!?!?!

Couldn’t they start the new system next year.
Ok no more complains. I’ll take whatever they throw at me.

I’m not afraid of them.
I think none of us are afraid of them.
So I have no idea why they think we are.
Oh wells, I shall update more next week!

"LET'S GET THE PARTY STARTED"

2008-09-05T03:16:00.000-07:00

I AM THE LIFE OF THE PARTY!

"I NEED A GIRL" : PART 3

2008-09-05T03:15:00.001-07:00

On 3rd September 2008, I put up the entry “I Need A Girl: Part 1” about girls being like tin cans, easy to find yet hard to open.

I just want to further enforce that I’m not stereotyping our Singapore girls at all. It was just an entry to poke fun and hopefully engaged in a little controversy.

I’m not a sexist. I just love to evoke a little bust up in the “discussion” about girls of Singapore.

And to all my girls out there, my friends that is, don’t worry none of the girls described in the entry was about you. Well not entirely at least! HAHA

Once again, I’m sorry if I have upset any girls with that entry and I sincerely do apologize. BUT, I’m not afraid to express what I wrote. I’m not sorry about that.

"UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD"

2008-09-05T03:14:00.000-07:00

“When was the last time the world wasn’t falling apart?”
Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio) ‘Blood Diamond 2006’

I love that movie. I swear it is my favorite movie of all time.

Anyways, so when was the last time the world wasn’t falling apart?

There’s been a vicious little rumor going around that the world was going to end in the year 2012. Apparently some of my friends read this off the internet. Last night, Mr. Ashley Kee even told me that the world will end after 2 more Catholic Popes take the reign of Catholics all over the world. Again, a friend of his read it off the internet.

I’ve got a little problem with this though. Wasn’t the world supposed to end when Nostradamus supposedly predicted the tragic September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center? Or that the world was going to end on 01st January 2000 thanks to the Y2K bug?

I must admit in a pessimistic sense that events happening around the world over the last couple of years haven’t exactly dispelled the rumors of the world ending.
I mean, look at what Hurricane Katrina did to the States. Or the terrifying December 26th Tsunami which hit Asia, or the fact that Osama Bin Laden is still out there, continuing to strike fear in the hearts of everyone. Then there was the recent Sichuan earthquake in China, drought in some parts of the world, excessive flooding in other parts.

And yet, with so many predictions and so many climate changes, we are still here. We are still here together as one: fighting terrorism, fighting climate changes, running for charitable causes, hoping that Lindsay Lohan gets banned from making another movie.

I can’t predict what is going to happen to the world 6 months from now. But I know that whatever “world-ending” events that are being thrown at us, we will still continue to fight and to survive together. That’s why we are still here. We have been doing that for the last 2,000 years, I’m sure we will continue to do so for the next 2,000 years.

Just like the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics motto goes, “One world. One dream.”
That’s the beauty of the human spirit I guess.

And it really is up to you to believe if the world is really going to end in the year 2012 but for me, I know I’ll continue to fight whatever is thrown at me. I say, “BRING IT!”

I’m actually looking forward to the 2012 London Summer Olympics more than the world ending in 2012.

2012. December.

"CARPE DIEM BABY"

2008-09-05T03:09:00.000-07:00

I’m sure many of you out there have heard of the Latin phrase, “Carpe Diem”.
To those who haven’t, basically “Carpe Diem” means “Seize the day! Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die.”

I am one person who lives by that motto. I really do.

Of course it doesn’t mean that we are all going to die after we “eat, drink and be merry.” What it means is that, we should live everyday as if it is our last day on earth. For you never know what can happen tomorrow, I have experienced too many unexpected losses to live my life as if I’m absolutely certain I’ll live to a ripe, old age.

As Ronan Keating sang, “If tomorrow never comes, will she know how much I love her…” Can you honestly tell yourself that if I die tomorrow (touch wood of course), will I die living the life I wanted to live. Or did I die living a life that is not what I want.

I can understand why many of my friends think I’m the kind of person who is only capable of having fun and nothing else. That’s not true. I know when I should be serious, and when I should be having fun.

I do admit I haven’t done the serious part particularly well in the last couple years but hey, each day is a brand new day. The mistakes of yesterday can never be erased, but doesn’t mean I’m not learning to avoid it tomorrow.

Of course, you got to learn how to balance having fun and living life, with your priorities as you age every year.

And I know it is safe to say that I’m finally moving full steam ahead in the balancing equation. In the past, I would have too much fun over a period of time, then too much seriousness over another.

My priorities now are simple; I’m enlisting into the Police Force next Tuesday September 9th. I’ve got to get that done properly for 2 years; in between I still intend to study whilst serving my country. These are my priorities.

At the same time, I’m still going to live my life the way I always wanted to; having fun, being in the company of my friends, tennis, sports, travelling, etc. I’m not going to live my life working at a dead end job, or a 9am – 6pm office job.
No. That’s not what I’m meant to do. And it will not be what I’m going to do.
I will live my life; eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die.

Seize the day

Carpe Diem!

"THE GOOD PEOPLE"

2008-09-05T03:04:00.000-07:00

I have once had the thought, are people really good or bad? In actual fact, people are neither good nor bad. A person is just a person; it is what we do that differentiates who’s good, and who’s bad.

Where do you cross the line of good and bad?

I was looking up the definition of good and bad in the dictionary (Oxford 5th Edition, 1999). Good: (1) that which is morally right or acceptable, (2) that which gives benefit, profit, advantage
Bad: (1) morally unacceptable; wicked

Ok so let’s put it in this scenario. A good person would for example be of an older brother looking out for his younger sister on the streets after they have been abandoned by their parents. And a bad person would be if an older brother stealing food from the store because he’s younger sister is starving and they have no money.

Wait, so would that brother be a good person, OR a bad person?

How can you tell if a person is really good or bad? Of course we all know it’s a bad thing to steal. But to steal for a good cause…

Of course we all know that killing a person is one of the 7 deadly sins and obviously you would associate a murderer to be a bad person. Then if Sadam Hussein is sentenced to death for all the shit stuff he did and 1,000’s of innocent lives he took during his reign in Iraq, in your mind you know he deserves it. A life for a life and I truly agree whole heartedly. But do you see the irony in the whole situation here?

Some people are sent to this world to harm us, while there are others sent to this world to save us. People should just state their intentions clearly when you first meet them. Like, “Hi my name is Joshua and I’m going to do selfish things that benefit myself and not give a damn about you even though I keep telling everyone that I do,” OR “Hi my name is Jen and I’m going to break your heart twice but before I do that I’ll make sure you fall madly in love with me.”

"GOD FORSAKEN TOWN"

2008-09-05T03:02:00.000-07:00

“Sometimes I wonder if God will ever forgive us for what we have done to each other. Then I look around and I realize, God left this place a long time ago…”
Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio) ‘ Blood Diamond’

Do you ever wonder all the bad things that people do to each other, will God ever forgive us? I’m sure when he created the world, he wanted us all to be united as one. I’m sure many of us have at least once thought, “Why am I living in this world?” in our lifetime.

Every day you see and hear the things some people are capable of doing towards another human being. You can’t really help but feel helpless sometimes.
Maybe the above quote (Danny Archer) links with the creation of the phrase, “A God forsaken world”.

So then, if someone does something “bad” towards you, will you forgive and forget? Rather the question should be, can you forgive AND forget?

"MY RIVAL"

2008-09-05T02:27:00.000-07:00

I enjoy a good rivalry as it gives you a good opportunity to choose. Choices are one of the greatest gifts human beings can ever possess.

McDonald’s VS KFC
This is a no brainer. Obviously of the 2, McDonald’s wins by a mile.
Just take a look at the variety that McDonald’s offer: Hamburgers, Nuggets, Hotcakes, McWings, Coke, Milkshake, Ice Cream, Big Breakfast, Egg McMuffin, McChicken, Big Mac, French Fries, etc. and the list goes on… KFC offers you 2 or 3 pieces of chicken, zinger, cheese fries, what else?
And everyone remembers McDonald’s crazy marketing campaigns like, “I’m Lovin’ It”, “McDonald’s at the Beijing Olympics”, and “Hello Kitty!” KFC offers us, wait let me think, uh nothing remotely worth remembering.
And finally McDonald’s has Ronald McDonald, the only clown I never got scared off. KFC has big tubby colonel sanders who’s as plain and boring as Jade Seah on “Today in Beijing”.

Nike VS Adidas
This is tough actually. I used to be a fanatic for Adidas but honestly, now I can’t really choose. But if I have to give the edge to either power brand, it would probably be Nike.
I love Adidas’ marketing slogans like “Impossible is Nothing!” Then again, Nike has its famous “Just Do It” trademark.
Adidas has David Beckham, Nike doesn’t.
Nike has Lebron James, Adidas doesn’t.
They both have awesome shoes!
The only reason why I give the edge to Nike is that the designs that come out from Nike are awesome. It has better, more interesting designs and slogans on its’ clothing lines whereas Adidas’ clothing line is a little flat and plain.

Manchester United VS Chelsea
Obviously the Red Devils by a mile.
Man Utd plays rich football, Chelsea just has rich footballers.
Man Utd plays in the “Theatre of Dreams”, Chelsea plays at somebody else’s bridge Man Utd are the Red Devils, Chelsea are the… the… what’s their mascot again?
Man Utd had David Beckham, Chelsea had good players who were ½ of Beck’s marketing value
Man Utd has Rooney, Ronaldo and Co. though Chelsea may have Ballack, Cole, Essien, Drogba, Lampard, Terry, Carvalho, Cech, Shevchenko, Obi Mikel (or is it Mikel Obi, or Obi Wan Kanobi) AND YET STILL LOST TO MANCHESTER UNITED IN THE FINALS OF MOSCOW 2007!

The Williams Sisters VS The Glamour Girls
I’ll probably have to go with the “The Glamour Girls” on this one. But this is no disrespect to the Williams’. I think they are great competitors, tennis players, ambassadors and great for the game but I like the glamorous life.
Who are the “Glamour Girls”? Maria Sharapova, Daniela Hantuchova, Ana Ivanovic, Jelena Jankovic, Maria Kirilenko, Elena Dementieva, etc.

Roger Federer VS Rafael Nadal
One is one of the greatest, classiest tennis players to grace the planet. The other is a raging, dynamic tennis player at the top of the game. If I really had to choose between either champion, I would choose ANDY RODDICK over and over and over again.

USA VS China
I’m not even going to attempt to give my views on this one.

Coke VS Pepsi
There is a difference!
Coke is actually heavier, sweeter then Pepsi is. But both pack enough punch to keep your sugar levels high.
Both have equally impressive marketing campaigns.
Both their “Lights” are awesome.
Both their additional flavors kind of suck, “Vanilla Coke, Coke Zero, Pepsi Twist, Pepsi Lime”
I think we are dead even here.

What other good rivalries are there out there….?

"APOLOGIZE"

2008-09-05T02:16:00.000-07:00

I never knew how related “Apologize” by One Republic was to me. This would have been the perfect song to play when I officially broke off with you about 1.5 years back.

“I’m holding on your rope, got me 10 feet off the ground,”
How true, I keep holding onto the rope you threw me. I kept trying to hang onto every rare opportunity not to give you up. I thought it was truly my fault for you leaving me.

“And I’m hearing what you say, but I just can’t make a sound,”
When you dropped the bomb on me, that you could be carrying something which can’t possibly be mine, what do you expect me to say? Did you really expect me to open my arms and welcome you back after leaving me to pick up the broken pieces?

“You tell me that you need me then you go and cut me down,”
You really manipulated the whole situation. You really made me think that you were the 1st person I will give a 2nd chance to. And you turned it around and gave me a literal slap in the face.

“But wait, you tell me that you’re sorry, didn’t think I’d turn around and say,”
You really thought that after you screwed up 2 chances I’ll give you a 3rd? Can you honestly tell me that you are all grown up now? All that begging and crying is falling on deaf ears babe.

“That it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late. I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late. Yeah!”
Don’t bother apologizing because all your past apologies obviously didn’t mean a thing to you. Now, you don’t mean a thing to me.

“I’d take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you.”
I did. I took many chances for you. I took a fall for you. I took a shot for you.

“I need you like a heart needs a beat, but it’s nothing new.”
You knew that. Everyone knew that. It really is nothing new.

“I loved you with a fire red, now it’s turning blue.”
This line just says it all.

“And you say sorry like an angel, heaven let me think was you, but I’m afraid,”
You threw what you could to try and get into my good books. The angelic, innocent look doesn’t work on me no more.

All said and done, the past is the past. What you did, and what you do now will not and will never concern me.

Though I do wish you all the best with your new life and his life, maybe now you will be able to grow up. Let him be a reminder of your past and move onto a better future.

Forgive and forget as they always say.

I’ll never forget you. But I’ll never forgive you.

"JERKS OF ATTENTION"

2008-09-04T01:58:00.000-07:00

“All guys are jerks!”

I have heard this phrase oh so many times but are we really jerks?

Ok let me be the subject of discussion. I’ll take the full beating but let’s just test the theory.

I have dated many girls. Most of them are not serious and truthfully I have had only 4 serious relationships. Let’s turn back time, I remember had my first crush when I was 10 years old (in 4th Grade ISB) for this girl named Amy Cheng. I had my first girlfriend when I was 11 years old. And my first serious relationship when I was 12 years old with this girl named Angela.

11 years later and I’ve been in 3 other serious relationships (Charlene, Shermaine and Jen) and countless other non-serious ones.

The girls I dated non-seriously are those who I met randomly, go on a couple of dates and then ones I got them interested, I dump them. That I admit.

Then there are the 4 girls I’ve dated seriously and of which I was fully committed in all and I didn’t fool around. Yet the last 3 broke my heart and ended nastily.

Can you say this is karma? Some of my friends do think so. Most of my friends just think I’m unlucky. As Sara always says, “Darren you are just damn unlucky when it comes to girls”. Yet could I be that unlucky if I constantly date girls, lead them on and then dump them. Then get dumped by the girls I’m serious about?

But in my defence, I wouldn’t say I’m a player and leading a girl on and then dumping them heartlessly. On the contrary, I’m actually saving them the trouble of getting deep into the relationship then I tell them, “I don’t think we are right for each other.”

Let’s all be truthful with each other (Guys and girls alike). Let’s put it in this scenario, I meet a girl (Online, or through friends, or in school) and the 1st impression she gives me is that she’s in line with the type of girls I take an interest to.

I get to know her, we talk, go on dates. After awhile, I realize, she is a good girl, but just not good enough for me. And I only know this when I get to know her better after the dates. That’s when I say IT’S OVER!

Isn’t that the point of dating? To get to know someone better to see if he or she in my case is someone I would really be serious about. You can’t fall in love with a person with immediate effect. I don’t believe in love at first sight.

I break up with the girls because I don’t love them enough to be serious about them. And I never say “I LOVE U” to someone I don’t or not serious about.

And to be fair, girls do this too. Don’t deny this girls, because I know plenty of girls who date guys, lead the guys on and then dump them or pull the trigger before it can go any deeper. I’m sure one of the reasons why is that after awhile, you realize the guy isn’t right for you. Am I not right to point out this statement?

So is it really fair and justifiable to claim that “All guys are jerks!”

I don’t think so.

"I NEED A GIRL" PART 2

2008-09-04T01:53:00.000-07:00

Girls are like tin cans, easy to find yet hard to open”: Part 2

The first part as you guys can see (Post below) was with regards to how girls are easy to find, like tin cans. Now comes the second part, perhaps much more serious than the first part was; girls are like tin cans, hard to open.

Come on girls, and yes guys I’m sure you agree, they are just like tin cans, hard to open.

When you open a tin can, generally you would need a can opener or a device close to a can opener.

Now just so we are clear, since I have unfortunately mentioned that this argument is more serious than the first one was, let’s just stay in context when I say that a can opener is needed to open a girl; I mean opening their minds and hearts, AND NOT other parts of the body which can also be opened with a specific kind of can opener.

Alright ladies, help us guys out a little here. Why are you so hard to open?

Admittedly, I’m pretty sure many of you girls do so to guard yourself for you were once a victim of opening too much to a guy who ended up breaking your heart. Yeah I admit, I’ve been guilty of doing so too.

But come on, don’t give me that bullshit that all of you girls went through the same thing. I’m sure even if you did have similar experiences, you did pull the same stunt on another guy.

And even if a guy seems to have gotten the right “can-opener”, he has to be careful not to cut himself just after he removes the lid. Cause sometimes it seems the girl may have been showing some sort of interest in you and starts opening up a little, she suddenly pulls back and says, “Woah I think it’s best if we remain friends. I don’t really have any feelings for you.”

So this proves that even if a guy has seemingly successfully opened a girl, it doesn’t necessary mean that he girl is open to him. Literally.
So what exactly is a guy to do?

What exactly are we to do…

"I NEED A GIRL" PART 1

2008-09-04T01:33:00.000-07:00

“Girls are like tin cans, easy to find yet hard to open.”

This thought just came about randomly whilst my buddies and I were cruising on the highway. We saw a truck load of paint and Ken basically said, “Girls are like tin cans, easy to find,” and I duly finished the sentenced, “yet hard to open…”

I’m going to separate this discussion into 2 parts. Obviously, the 1st part is with regards to girls are like tin cans cause they are easy to find.

Tin cans, you can find it all over the place. Supermarkets, hypermarkets, homes, kitchens, rubbish dumps, high-end shops, paint shops, etc.

Basically, there are a variety of tin cans and its uses. Similarly, we have all sorts of girls in “sunny” Singapore!

If you love girls like Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie, Gisele Bundchen, etc. like I do, well buddy, you are looking at the wrong country!

We do have other girls who are hot though, let’s see… ahhh yes, our girls from NUS. Majority of the girls (if you are at the right faculty) are smart, hot, independent, fun-loving and did I mention intelligent?

If girls who like their Gucci’s and Prada’s interest you, then just look no further then downtown Orchard Road, or more specifically, Takashimaya and Paragon.

If you love girls who dress for the right occasion, stylish, on the whole intelligent, can pay for their own things, great dances, hot bodies; the place to be is Zouk (Ladies Night doesn’t count!).

Let’s not forget our sophisticated girls (with tight skirts) strutting their stuff at Raffles, Tanjong Pagar and City Hall! They didn’t get where they are by chance (Well most of them anyways). They got the brains and the money.

If you like American girls, as in seriously American girls then just head on down to DBL O. They aren’t Maria Sharapova or Beyonce but hey, American girls!

If the “OMG, I’m like so fucking hot so I like don’t have to use my brains and yet guys still love my ass” kind of girls, than just head on down to MOS (Yes “Ministry of Sound”). They seem to have infiltrated that particular area.

If girls with big ass, hot bodies, intelligence, money or style don’t attract you, then I suggest you see a psychiatrist.
Seriously dude what’s wrong with you?!

Fine, there are also these girls who do attract few guys.

Actually its quite easy to spot them since they have extremely thick yet cheap makeup on, ridiculously out of style skinny jeans, and a boring or senseless t-shirt with hair ironed so straight even a ruler is curved compared to it.
These girls actually possess a trait that the girls above do not. If you can’t spot them, you can definitely hear them. Their broken, pathetic English mixed with half-past 6 Chinese and occasional Hokkien are uniquely theirs. They should be proud.

Please, don’t even think about thinking you are a very stylish, or intelligent, or eloquent kind of girl. You are not. PERIOD.

And if you are damn weird guy or just a fella who is perfectly incapable of getting a girl even at the lowest social structure of society (Reference to the unique girls) then well, I guess there’s just one more group of girls for you.

If girls who are filthy cheap. You can easily pick your choice by the side of Geylang Lorong 16. Trust me; they are definitely filthy AND cheap!

Alas, it is so true, “Girls are like tin cans, so easy to find yet hard to open.”

"NO AIR"

2008-09-04T01:14:00.000-07:00

Let me clear the air for everybody.

The first thing I look for in a girl, in any kind of girl, is how she carries herself. Meaning, I see how she dresses, how she carries herself and how she behaves.

Yes I admit that I’m extremely anal with regards to the kind of girl that I will truly serious about.

A girl I’m dating can be sweet, hot and intelligent but if they can’t dress up when I’m out with them, or can’t carry herself “lady-like” when we are together, than that girl is not going to last long with me.

Of course I don’t mean that I’m looking for an ultra-sophisticated looking girl.

For example if I’m going to town, I would wear at least a t-shirt, jeans (or berms) and always shoes. Casual, comfortable but more importantly, properly dressed for the right time and place. You will not catch me wearing slippers or something I would wear to the 7-11 across my house.

Of course I am mortified when my friends meet me town in an ugly t-shirt, shorts and slippers. So can you imagine my mortification if the girl I’m dating dresses too casually?

It’s all about dressing at the right time, for the right place and right occasion.

Yeah basically the girl I will ever be serious about would be for a girl with class.

And yes, I do have extremely high standards in the girls I want.

And to the girls I have dated and then dumped, you just weren’t good enough for me. I’m sorry.

"IMPOSSIBLE"

2008-09-04T01:10:00.000-07:00

This is one of my favorite slogans of all time, great marketing strategy too!

From Adidas’ famous “Impossible is Nothing!” slogan:

“Impossible is just a word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world that have been given than to explore the power they have to change it.
Impossible is not a fact, it’s an opinion.
Impossible is not a declaration, it’s a dare.
Impossible is potential.
Impossible is temporary.

Impossible is nothing!”

"YOUNG, DUMB AND UGLY"

2008-09-02T22:02:00.000-07:00

I think this is pretty amusing. This is pretty much an ugly side of tennis but Juan Martin Del Potro is freakingly childish! I sure hope Andy Murray kicks his ugly ass in the US OPEN Quarterfinals!

"RACIST SOCIETY"

2008-09-02T00:38:00.000-07:00

I'VE GOT A QUESTION.

IT'S ONLY A QUESTION.

IF EVERYBODY WAS OF THE SAME COLORED SKIN

WOULD THERE STILL BE RACISM?

"RUNNING FREE"

2008-09-02T00:03:00.000-07:00

Ahhhh as promised earlier, I would update you guys on how the race went.

"The Day the World Stopped To Run"

Here's the route of the race.

Well it was one hell of a great day to run considering the weather of late has been pretty fucked up. Could be the time of the month for “Mother Nature” or something.

Rain. Sun. Rain. Sun. Wind. Rain. Sun.

Ridiculous weather. But that day was pretty much perfect.

We started at the 2nd Flag-Off 4.45pm @ Esplanade Bridge. Considering we started at the end of the race, we actually finished in 1 hour 07 mins and I'm ranked 3,156 out of 10,000 runners. Kenneth was 2 secs behind me and ranked 3,159.

And yes amazingly I didn't stop running throughout the 10km run except at certain points of the race where there were bottlenecks and everyone was stuck and couldn't move. Seriously couldn't move.

NIKE could have done a little better in that part especially in the beginning where they only blocked up one lane and everybody was crashing into each other in all directions. And we had to stop for a red-light.

Can u believe that?! We are running a marathon here and we have to stop for a red-light!

But overall it was pretty good considering I didn't even train at all!

And as I mentioned earlier, I told you my race (bib) number was 0808080 and let me stress once again how lucky I was as it was chosen at random.

Everybody who saw it was like “WOAH! OMG! WOAH”

Well I only have one response to them...

TOO DAMN BAD SUCKERS! I GOT THE NUMBER AND U DIDN'T! HAHAHAHA

Anyways, I'm still surviving as you can see. I want to run again next year!

"RUNNING"

2008-08-26T03:25:00.000-07:00

I'm so looking forward to the

NIKE HUMAN RACE 10K

event taking place on the 31 August 2008. I'm running with 9,999 other Singaporeans, along with other people around the world all in the name of charity. Of the 3 charities I think I chose to donate to the World Wildlife Foundation “WWF”.

Other cities involved in the run together with us:
AMSTERDAM, AUSTIN, BOGOTA, BUENOS AIRES, CARACAS, CHICAGO, ISTANBUL, JOHANNESBURG, LIMA, LONDON, LOS ANGELES, MADRID, MELBOURNE, MEXICO CITY, MONTEVIDEO, MOSCOW, MUNICH, NEW YORK CITY, PARIS, QUITO, ROME, SANTIAGO, SAO PAULO, SEOUL, SHANGHAI, SINGAPORE, TAIPEI, TOKYO, VANCOUVER

Oh and guess what, I swear I'm not lying but my jersey number is 0808080. I SWEAR! You can come down to the Esplanade on Sunday 31 August 2008 if you don't believe me.

Anyways, I'll talk more about the event after I'm done running! Haha...

SEE I TOLD YOU MY RACE KIT NUMBER ON MY JERSEY IS 0808080

HERE'S JUST A LITTLE PROMO PIC I PUT TOGETHER. DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TIME BUT HERE...

I found this extremly hilarious clip on youtube you guys have to AB-SO-Fuckin-Lutely watch...

Remember the 100m Butterfly race Michaelf Phelps won in Beijing by 0.01 sec over the Serbian dude. Well if you enjoyed the race, you'll defintely enjoy this more haha.

Please sit on a chair where you won't fall of laughing...

"FRIENDS FOREVER" Theme from 2008 Olympics

2008-08-25T23:19:00.000-07:00

Now that the 2008 Beijing Olympics have been concluded...
Lets all applaud everybody on a job well done.

Really, especially the sports people. Come on. They trained hard for 4 years for this 1 big moment. As a sportsman, I know how it feels like, especially if you come out of the Olympics with a medal.

And to be honest, I was a little skeptical in the beginning that the Chinese could pull off something spectacular. I was proven wrong. They put on one of the best shows in history.

Congratulations. I'm impressed.

But now I can't wait for London 2012. And I wanna go watch it in person haha!
Anybody interested?

Anyways these are some of my personal best moments of the Olympics...

1.It has to be Michael Phelps. Come on... 8 swimming golds, 7 world records. Especially the 100m Butterfly race, that was jaw-dropping damnit... He is the athletic of the Olympics man!

2.You've got to admit, the lighting of Olympic torch was pretty awesome.

3.Ok how can I not include one of our proudest moments in Singapore's sporting history. Finally we won another medal. Our women's table tennis team rocks... Though ironically all 3 are made in China. Haha

4.I'm not really into athletics and all but you got to admit, when that bolt of lightning struck... you can't really not watch.

5.“The Chinese sure know how to put on the best fireworks”. Singapore Fireworks Festival, please take note.

6.I love tennis very much. And I think Federer is one of the greatest player there is, but I'm not that much of a fan so I was kind of happy Blake won.

Well obviously there were plenty more best moments at the Olympics but I can't find a good enough link so I think I shall just mention it:

7.Finally Brazil Volleyball's team won the elusive Olympic Gold medal against the USA

8.Sorry but I was damn happy China didn't sweep the Olympic Diving Medals. CONGRATULATIONS MATTHEW MITCHAM that was bloody brilliant diving from you dude
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az4w32d20SY

9.Tao Li is the 5th best butterfly woman swimmer in the world. That's something to be proud off

10. Elena Dementieva won the gold. About time she won something big!

YEAH CANT WAIT FOR LONDON 2012

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"WEEDS"

2008-08-25T22:09:00.000-07:00

“A weed in a general sense is a plant that is considered by the user of the term to be a nuisance.”

Our lives are like gardens. Just think about it.

There are a variety of flowers (Roses, Lilies, Dandelions, Sunflowers and even Rafflesia, etc.) which actually represents our friends. The different friends we have around us. I'm sure some of my friends are like 'Roses' – sweet, loving people. Then there are some who are like 'Rosmarinus' – unassuming, trusty friends. Hell I'm even sure I have some friends who are like 'Rafflesia' – smelly, big mouth but ultimately still my friends.

Trees are like our families, strong and always there.

The “birds and the bees” are the girls in our lives. Wait did I say “birds and the bees”! I meant “birds and the butterflies”. Ever sexy, sweetening our life AND always in abundance. HAHA oops! Come on girls, you know I'm just joking.

The sun, rain, wind, and even snow pretty much represents the “seasons” we have to go through in our lives. Our ups and downs.

But with all the good things in life, there's always something nasty stuck there. In this case, one of the nuisances of a garden comes in the form of weeds.

“Weeds may be unwanted because they are unsightly, or they limit the growth of other plants by blocking light or using up nutrients from the soil. They can also spread pathogens that can infect and degrade the quality of plants. Weeds are also nuisances as it has thorns and prickles, causes skin irritation when come in contact with, and/or parts of the plants may come off and get attached to furs, clothes, etc.”

These weeds describe the many people we defintely have to bump into. They put on a front of beauty. But really inside them, they are irritants and they block the growth of other people. They intentionally attach onto you and refuse to get off you.

These are the kind of friends who gains your trust and make you really feel you are his/her best friend, buddy, bff's, girlfriend, etc. BUT if you really think about it. You will be able to come up with many, many instances where all they really care about is themselves. You want to get something done, they tell you another time, and eventually, another time never comes. And when THEY want to get something done, they insist you go along with them. You kind of don't have a choice.

You want to meet your friends but they usually come up with very good reasons to convince you to accompany them instead. When you really meet your friends, they start calling asking when you are done. If you don't want to me, they throw a hissy fit. And you find yourself getting trap in this vicious cycle of not being able to do the things you really want to do.

And if you point out this or any other selfish instances to them, they will raise their voice and start giving some bullshit of a reason to counter back at you to make it seem it really is your fault and not theirs. And they come up with pathetic instances to say how much they have done for you. When really, the rest of the world knows that is not true.

In every sense of they way, they are hypocrites. The irony is that they usually tell you they hate hypocrites. But that's because they are too much in self-denial to figure out that the ultimate hypocrite is the one who say he isn't.

Let me give you an example, I once had a friend (wait. I have plenty of related examples but different scenarios and different people) who made me believe that I was his good friend. But what kind of good friend would you be if you pay for everything because he is totally incapable of securing a steady job or education and he promises to pay you back when really he doesn't. And everytime you meet (which can be as often as everyday) he talks about his life, dreams, goals, ex girlfriend, family and when you try to say something, he cuts you off. Then he starts saying that he is the one whose always there listening to me talk about my crazy ex girlfriend. Do you see the HYPOCRACY of it all here?

Or when he convinces you to tell your mother to pay for his laptop for his school purposes and that he will pay her back a certain amount every month when in actual fact it has been more than a year and he hasn't bothered to pay a single cent, AND he has dropped out of the school he was supposed to use the laptop for...

You see, there comes a certain point in your life you got to seize control of your own destiny. I think I have had enough of the nice guy because everybody seems to want to jump all over me. Well guess what, no more.

I want to live the life I had always dream of. I want to do the things I want to do. And to do that I have to get rid of the “WEEDS” in my life. Or else I'll never be able to move on. It may have taken 21 years to figure that out BUT I sure as hell am glad that I did and its still not too late.

And I advice all my true friends in this situation to do the same. DO NOT live in a self-denial trance. Do things for yourself. Be who you want to be. Trust me it's defintely one hell of a load off your shoulders.

And truthfully, honestly, frankly. I have never been happier at where I am in life had I not gotten rid of the many WEEDS in my life. And I'm finally able to move on.

Trust yourself. And trust your own instincts. They are usually right.
______________________________________________________________
Definition of weed taken from the very trusted Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weed)

P.S. Here's a special little message for the WEEDS.
If those reasons are all the reasons you give me about you being a good friend for me. Please do try harder cause those reasons are truly PATHETIC.

And if thats all you can threaten me with, please. Do you really think I'm really afraid of you. I already said, what you don't see or know doesn't mean its true.

You know what's the scary part of it all. Many people know I'm never wrong about things, including you. Which means, You know all that I have said was and is and will always be right.

OH before I forget. The real coward is the one who hates cowards because they are too scared to admit that they are.

"Without You"

2008-08-22T02:37:00.000-07:00

LIFE IS TOO DAMN SHORT!

Yeah I am sure you guys are like, "yakyak, bla bla bla, we have heard this before"

But isn't it funny that only when things start happening to your friends and family around you, things that are not suppose to happen in this perfect life of ours. Yet it is.

And when it strikes, you just seem to have a whole new meaning to that phrase.

Psychologically speaking, it makes perfect sense.

We are too human to realize whatis really important in our lives before its really gone. I

ts really taking for granted and not being prepared to face the fact that even the best things in life do come to an end.

Or does it have something to do with age? Perhaps as you grow older you tend to cherish more things in life with every year that passes by...

I spent the last 21 years of my life trying to fit in to other peoples' life, trying to figure out what was really important in my life when in actual fact, I already knew. I just couldn't see it.

Because of that, I could not take the time to actually enjoy the things that arehappening around me. The sights, the sounds, the people, the experiences.
"Good Life" by Jesse McCartney
If I were you I'd be taking it easy kick back and relax for a little while we'll all still be here tomorrow take time just to act like a little child no matter what the world has in store for us you got he ring that better get off us reach out for a comfortable chair rejoyce, throw your arms in the air
(chorus) 'cause it's a good life so why you trippin'? the good life slippin' away

If your boss is giving you pressure let go, take a breather in the park You've got to find out what's your pleasure In time you'll be singing like a lark Pretty soon your sorry will chime for all Somebody will heed your call reach out for a comfortable chair rejoyce, throw your arms in the air
(chorus)
Trade in some misery for some tender lovin' care Cast aside those cloudy days... Make up your mind to get a whole new lease on life Reach out for a comfortable chair rejoice, throw your arms in the air

(chorus)

Taking everything into context, why don't we do the things we want to do? I'm pretty damn sure if we really had things our way, we'll be smelling the air.Throwing our arms in the air (EXCEPT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BODY ODOUR)... _________________________________________________________________

"Fly Or Die"

2008-03-21T07:18:00.000-07:00

My gorgeously white PS3 console (only 40G)

I think it's about G** damn time I own something to which is finally considered "cool" or "in" by our society today!

I'm serious... Too damn long have I gone without buying something that is "in" in our society today. For example... many people own an iPod or SONY MP3 but I own a lesser known SHIRO brand of MP3.

OR I helped out a fren by getting him a laptop sometime last year cause well I can't discuss it here but I did and it's a very good and reliable brand whilst I own a 2nd hand bulky IBM.

I own a lesser known brand of SONY Ericsson HP whilst everyone else is comparing their 800 dollar phones!

I know i know it's not all about the brands and things; and I really am thankful THAT I even get to own a HP or MP3 or IBm, etc.

But maybe for once I just want a change. To experience owning something that people don't laugh at. Something that is not 2nd class or 2nd hand.

Whatever the case is at least I'm finally there...

And why a PS3. Come on... Those who know me, knows that I'm a man of quality. I don't buy stuff just because it's cheap. I want to buy something I know it's going to last me forever. So I don't really care if you can't buy pirated games for a PS3. That's not the main point of owning a PS3 in the 1st place.

You got to own it to understand why PS3 is such a worth it console. Infact I think it's absolutely C-H-I-L-D-I-S-H (childish) for anyone who thinks something like "Hmph PS3. it sucks, can't even play pirated games..."

*biggest eye roll in a century*

Oh well...

"Soak Up The Sun"

2008-03-19T22:29:00.000-07:00

I so got to stop making this a habit...

People usually blog at least once every 2 or 3 days. I blog once every 2 or 3 millennium... Yeah peoples, I'm so sorry for the dust and spiderwebs clogging up this blog here!

Anyhow here's what happened the day before. That is, Tuesday 18th March 2008.

Jiahao (JH) started his new "exercise" regime this week and Tuesdays (and Thursdays) are supposed to be the days where he'll pop by my place for swim/tennis/suana. The latter being the current hot fav...

We were suppose to start @ 10am but due to unfortunate circumstances, some ding dong fella made us wait 2 hours before he finally decides to show his sorry ass. Yes I'm talking bout Ment who was so damn late.

The sky magically transformed while we were waiting from hot sunny day to dark overcast day.
And Mr. Ment says it was just a passing cloud... YEAH right!

But we did eventually get to swim, Ment and JH did get some tanning done a la natural sun although the only reason why Ment was so successful getting tanner was cause he's chicken ass white! Muhahaha.

Anyhow, after that great suana bath, then tennis then dinner @ Simpang Bedok!

Here's to the 3 of us! Haha (Chuan did come over but much later!)

Look! We are @ Sentosa!!!!!!!!!
Me & Ment

Apparently, "dog's" today can both swim and wear sunglasses!
Ment

The Water Boys....
JH & Ment

Lazing around. That's life man!
JH & Ment

Shades on brother! There ain't escaping the sun
JH & Ment

"The Rock says, the Rock says..." Oh wait. sorry that's a rat!
JH

I look weird with Kelvin's glasses to which Ment took without asking! Haha
Me

"CLOVERFIELD". AWESOME MOVIE!

2008-01-22T11:58:00.000-08:00

Cloverfield

Here’s the trailer

The most talked about movie of the New Year.

And boy was this movie worth all the talk.

You really got to enjoy this movie for its true, original meaning. Put the action as the secondary story line. You’ll really find this movie awesome.

To be in love is not just buying flowers or chocolates. When you love someone, its knowing that that person loves you back; and no matter what circumstances anyone goes through, you will always run back for her.

And when the time comes and the world has to end. You are there beside her till the very last breath.

And I rarely do this but I give this film 5/5 stars.

Remember what it is like to be in love. Because a lost life is not a lost love; a lost love is a lost life.

2007-09-28T14:54:00.000-07:00

Well, as you can see… videos of the week have suddenly become videos of the day. Thanks to my extremely busy schedule I usually tend to forget to update my blog. But here I’m just trying to deliver my promises.

By the way this is also a continuation from last week’s entry, rather the song of the week for 14th September 2007 on “What Goes Around, Comes Back Around”.

This is for the week ending 28th September 2007.
________________________________________________________

Artist: GOO GOO DOLLS

Song/Video: IRIS

______________________________________________________

Do you believe in angels?

I do.

I believe that everybody has guardian angels watching over them. I believe that they are there to guide you in every journey you embark on. Be it when you breathe your first breath of life, to marrying your childhood sweetheart, to your last breath of life, to your journey to heaven.

You obviously can’t see them. But you most certainly can feel them, especially when you feel all alone in this world. Cause when you need them the most, they come into form via the 2 most important things a man can have in this world. LOVE and FRIENDS.

I believe in angels. Therefore I believe in love. And I believe in friendship.

Only a foolish man would think so. But if everybody’s head is screwed on the right way, then where would the fun and imagination in this world disappear to?

I have been the victim of believing in love and friends one too many times. And for a moment in time, I did stop believing in it. I just didn’t want to believe in angels anymore. For where was the angel when my “brother” was taken from me? Where was my angel when Jen left me? Where was the angel who was supposed to protect me and be by my side when I needed him/her the most? For that period of time, I gave up believing.

Boy oh boy how hard it is to attain the level of very confident, yet all it takes is less than 24 hours for it to be destroyed.

I’m going to admit it. I’m nowhere near the confidence I once had. But I’m also going to say that at least I’m no longer at the foot of the mountain. I have climbed up steadily and quickly. All thanks to the rope that was there yet I was too blind to see. My guardian angels were always there yet I just chose to turn my back on things and sat on my big ass thinking the world was ending just because mine was.
I ran away from the truth. I ran away from reality.

But after so much I realize one thing… I have guardian angels watching out for me everywhere. There’s not just one. There are plenty. You just have to open your eyes. Not all of them can be your angels for long, but if you know where to look they are right in front of you. Your true guardian angels.

“IRIS” is by far one of the best songs to be ever released to this world. Absolutely one of the best love songs produced, recorded, etc. The lead single from the soundtrack to “City of Angels” starring Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage; a fantastically written movie.

Just listen to the song. Look at the lyrics.

Here’s a little extract of the lyrics:

"And I’d give up forever to touch you
’Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be
And I don’t wanna go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it’s over
I just don’t wanna miss you tonight

And I don’t want the world to see me
’Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't comin
'Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive”

I may have lost someone who I really thought was my guardian angel. I may have lost the love of my life that still and will always be the love of my life. This I will admit.

But will there be a 3rd chance together? No. Once you let go of something so close to your heart, no matter how much you try to get it back together, things will never quite be the same.

I will however take the memories with me, for she will always have a place in my heart for all eternity. But memories is all there is to live upon. It’s the memories that spur me on. To believe that I may have lost her, but there’s someone new out there waiting for me.

I’m a free agent now.

Xiaodi. Thanks for everything. We work well for each other. And we’ll take each other’s secrets to the grave.

Never forget. LOVE & FRIENDSHIP. The beautiful

world. The beautiful language. The beautiful life.

WHAT GOES AROUND COMES BACK AROUND

2007-09-28T14:46:00.000-07:00

I feel like a music critic. A good one though. Not like those nasty old bags seating pretty in the office thinking that Barry Manilow is the matron saint of today’s music.

At least I choose the very best of the best and usually the best that I choose are usually the music that really people relate to.

It has related to me and so I tell it to you in my story, and my beliefs.

I know what I’m talking about.

This will end the week of 21s September 2007.

Artist: WHAT GOES AROUND COMES BACK AROUND

Song/Video: JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

_____________________________________________________

Well, sometimes things just have to be obvious enough for people to get it. Because sometimes we are all to blind to really see what is right in front of us unless you make it blatantly clear to them.

No Doubt released the smash hit “Don’t Speak”. Alicia Keys had a song called “Karma”. Justin Timberlake produced and sang the song “Cry Me A River”. And today, Mr. Timberlake is back at it again. Okay maybe not exactly today since he released this song like ages ago BUT this time, he made the ultimate break-up song, “WHAT GOES AROUND COMES BACK AROUND”.

Something related to the song as a whole and its video first. This video is like a small movie clip. It’s brilliant. The artistry, the production, the arrangement, the lyrics, the beats, the mood, the vision, the video, the feelings and most importantly, there’s Scarlett Johansson.

Alright, back to the point why this particular song stands out as possibly the ultimate breakup song of the decade?

Don’t we all just love to get back at our respected ex’s? We spend so much effort falling in love with someone whom we wish, pray and hope to be the one we have been waiting and dreaming off our entire lives; only with a flick of the fingers and *poof* it disappears before you can say the words, “I Love You.”

Then you spend days, weeks, months and maybe even years wallowing in self-pity. Moaning for all who pretend to hear you on how much you love him/her and why you had to be the one who had to endure all this shit and *blah blah blah*…

And then you perhaps, just perhaps, maybe found someone new. You are confused if you have really fallen for her OR if this was just going to be a repeat of what happened before, and the one before that, and the one before that.

If you haven’t found anyone, you are probably plotting the best revenge possible. Be it sleeping with her best friend, or trying to get back at her with 100 times more than she did to you, or whatever.

No matter what happens next, it will never be pretty. Then you have to endure the stress of being firm when you know it’s the hardest thing to do when she comes running back to you, apologizing that she was stupid. Crying because she was naïve. She thinks things will go back to normal and all you have to do is love her again.

Oh yeah. That is so going to happen. How many times have you fallen for that trick? How many times you called yourself a fool yet you still fell for it?

I have had relationships. All 4 relationships. But I admit of the 4, the last one was the most emotionally wrecking of all relationships I had to endure. Simply put, we were both in love. First loves always last the longest in one’s memories. Well that’s what it was, first love.

But with many love stories, there’s always a twist.

Many of you know what that twist is so there’s no point in me bringing that part of the story back up again.

I spend a long time. A really long time to come to terms with what you did and now that I’ve finally woken from my hibernation; I can proudly say that I’m now at the stage of “What goes around, comes back around.” Word for word.

What am I going to do next is for the world to see. You get what you deserve girl. Unfortunately for you, you haven’t fully got what you deserved. What you got is just the tip of the iceberg.

You messed with the wrong guy.

Keep telling yourself we will get back together. Keep telling yourself that babe. Who knows maybe it may come true one day. Remember… wishes do come true if you believe.

Should that day really comes, I pray you realize that I have let you off the hook once and I won’t let you off the hook again.

The Way I Are

This is my song of the week ending 14th September 2007.

Artist: TIMBALAND FEAT KERI HILSON & DOE
Song/Video: THE WAY I ARE

___________________________________________________

This is from one the most respected, master producers of today. This is definitely a much better song than “Give It To Me”

But can someone please explain to me what in the hell is that video so tastefully boring as compared to its song which is a great pop, dance record. And where is the link for footballers in the video here?!

Glamorous

2007-09-28T12:59:00.000-07:00

Speeding things up here as usual.

This is for the week ending 07 September 2007.
__________________________________________________________

Artist: GLAMOROUS

Song/Video: FERGIE

G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S

Oh come on! Who are we kidding here? Don’t we all wish to live a life of glamour?

Well if you don’t, I wonder which rock you would be living under (Preferably the rock which is under my shoe).

This is the world we live in today. We are all materialistic aren’t we? We are more interested in how fast of a buck we can make, rather than how fast of a buck we can lose.

With or without the money, I think anyone can live a glamorous life. It just depends what your definition of glamorous is. Most people’s definition of glamorous would be to have all the cash and credit cards.

For me, I am living the glamorous life. I may not be rich and all but I know I’m living a pretty glamorous life. I dress well, I eat well, I look good. I’m healthy. I have a Sony Ericsson K530i. I have a working MP3 which doubles up as a thumb-drive. I have an IBM laptop with fine internet connections. I have plenty of friends.

So I think my life is set for me. Well almost anyways.

So how glamorous is YOUR life?

Oh by the way. I LOVE YOU FERGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smooth Criminal

2007-09-28T12:47:00.000-07:00

I promised to place a video a week. Well, it’s never too late to catch up would it? This would be for the week ending 31 August 2007.
____________________________________________________________

Artist: Michael Jackson
Song/Video: Smooth Criminal

_______________________________________________________________

Well what can I say? This man (Yes, much as he looks like a freaky alien from Halloween today) is still the musical genius of the world.

I think that is a fact you cannot deny.

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Just listen to the arrangement, the beats. It gets you grooving man! And as I said, great songs are great if they are not accompanied by a fantastic video.

If you haven’t seen the video to Smooth Criminal, “you ain’t seen nothing yet.”

Come on. How can anybody defy the laws of gravity like this man here? If you have not seen the video, check out the 7.16mins of the video (You will be insane not to be that patient). Tell me! How did he do it? Was it superglue? Or some magnetism? If I ever had one question to ask Michael Jackson, it would be how in the bloody world he defied the laws of gravity.

And the moonwalk! SSSSMMMOOOOOTTTTHHHH baby! By the way, why is it call the moonwalk and not like space walk or something?!

Ok. I’m not saying I’m a fan of his weird behavior. Or am I saying I’m all support for his weird, broken nose. If you call it a nose, looks more like the black hole from here. In fact, if I was a body part of Michael Jackson (Which kinda makes every part of my hair on my body stand) I would hate being the nose.

But nose or no nose, his musical intelligence is beyond comprehension. It’s like he makes all these perfect records that just blows you away.

This goes to show that to be someone of his caliber; it’s perfectly alright not to have a proper nose. Hmmm, maybe I should check some “feng shui” book to see if a “caved-in” nose actually rewards you with complete success.

But whatever the case maybe, he has done lots for the world. Other than musically, there's his videos! And the work he does for the world's children. He actually donated $300,000 million in total to charity and humaritarian aids around the world. Come on, most of us here won't even part with $0.30 of our money to charity without grumbling or much hounding; let alone give a shit about the world. At least Michael Jackson gave a shit.

I've actually realized that quite a few of my friends really are fans of his music (Note I said music and not his physical or any other weird attributes that he shares with whoever he shares with at night). Especially my best buddy...

Oh I don’t know what goes on in a celebrity’s mind these days but whatever the case. A genius and his perfect work should always be shared to the world and not kept and let it be swept away with time. ________________________________________________________

When You're Gone

2007-08-24T09:38:00.000-07:00

"WHEN YOU'RE GONE"

AVRIL LAVIGNE

I always needed time on my own,

I never thought I need you there when I cry.

And the days feel like years when I'm alone,

And the bed where you lie,

Is made up on your side.

When you walk away,

I count the steps that you take,

Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone,

The pieces of my heart are missing you.

When you're gone,

The face I came to know is missing too.

When you're gone,

The words I need to hear to always get me through the days,

And make it ok,

I miss you.

I never felt this way before,

Everything that I do,

Reminds me of you.
And the clothes you left,

They lie one the floor.

They smell just like you,

I love the things you do.

When you walk away,

I count the steps that you take,

Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone,

The pieces of my heart are missing you.

When you're gone,

The face I came to know are missing too.

When you're gone,

The words I need to hear to always get me through the day,

To make it ok,

I miss you.

We were made for each other,

Out here forever,

I know we were,

Yeah yeah.

All I ever wanted was for you to know,

Everything I do I give my heart and soul,

I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me!

Yeah

When you're gone,

The pieces of my heart are missing you.

When you're gone,

The face I came to know is missing too.

When you're gone,

The words I need to hear to always get me through the day,

And make it ok,

I MISS YOU!

____________________________________________________________________

Today, there are many great hits. That's the thing. Great hits. Great hits that now seem so ordinary. But every once in a while, a great hit comes with a superb video making it a "mega" hit.

That's what Avril Lavigne's "When You're Gone" is precisely so. The song already boasts such meaningful lyrics that there isn't much to talk about. All you have to do is just listen to the song and you'll understand why.

But it's so important to have a great song, accompanied by a video that really links with the song. And the video for this song is very much related to the song. And this is a rarity among today's music.

Just look at the video and immediately it just touches your heart and reminds you of all the times you have let someone important go without realizing it till it's too damn late. It also reminds us that at any given time of the day, of the week, of the month, of the year, of the century; someone close to us may just leave us without warning.

So what are you going to do?

Cliche as it will seem but it is pretty evident that it's true no matter how much you try denying it. Just make sure those you care about know that you care for them... You never know what will happen to you so just remember to always cherish what you have.

And for those who didn't quite cherish what good they had in their lives when they had it, well then it's too damn bad for you. For no matter how many times you wish you could turn back and make it all good again, things will never be the same. EVER.

So tacky as it is. Never forget those who are important to you. Those who have sacrificed much for you to lead you to where you are today.

And don't ever let go of someone or something important to you till it's too late...

_____________________________________________________________

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Every week I'll try and do the song of the week that you just got to listen to. And here's mine for the week.

Enjoy...

Cheers!

Darren

Needs & Wants

2007-07-20T10:17:00.000-07:00

I need people to understand one thing. STOP. Yes, I said STOP

1. Thinking I don't know anything or what's going on

2. Stop telling me to act as if I don't know what's going on even when they know I do

You have no idea how hard of a role it is to play.

I wish to buy

1. ZARA Man's black "jeans" $129.00

2. New pair of shoes (white)

3. Topman shirts

4. New slippers

5. Handphone (Can be 2nd hand)

I want to buy lots of things. But I just can't. I can't afford it. And it sucks. The things I have now are not the kind of things I would like to claim ownership of. It doesn't represent who I am. But I don't have a choice. I have already used up my own personal reserves.

Damn. This sucks.

Selfish

2007-07-20T00:32:00.000-07:00

I can't believe you are so god damn selfish.

Whatever you want or need, I always try and get it done for you. Even if it means sacrificing things which are important to me just to get it done for you, I would.

I hardly even ask you for anything else. But when I do or I have something that needs to get done, you just can't help out.

A little respect from you AND your friends. Is that too much to ask for.

Ever wondered why I act the way I do sometimes? Cause it's fuckin fustrating that I try to help people out and they aren't thankful for it. It's like they expected only good things from me. And then dump all the bad things for me to figure out by myself.

I have been trying to change the way I act (And I have changed quite a bit on your advise) cause I think you are right. BUT it doesn't give you the right to not respect me.

If I find that in any case, all the time you have been lying to me with all the things you said to me. When instead you are only merely using me. You are goin to regret it.

It's NOT always the big things in life that people do that make a difference. It is also the small things that people do. You miss the small things, you end up missing the big things.

I always say. Everyone has a limit. DO NOT push me over my limit. I'm warning you.

Lines

2007-07-20T00:00:00.000-07:00

Ladies & Gentlemen (Prefably ladies ONLY)... I have come up with a new "line" to which my friends have keep laughing at...

Sharing a cab with lots of things on our laps (Sadly it was tennis gear that was on our laps and not girls) and I couldn't reach my tiny wallet stuck inside my ASS Pocket. So I proceeded to anounce in the entire cab... "Can someone pay first cause my wallet is stuck..." Apperently that's a funny sentence...

Though not as funny as a sentence a friend once said out loud... "WOW this oil is really oily!" [Try saying it in chinese. it's funnier]. And he wasn't trying to be funny at all.

DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...... that is one of our favorite punchlines now. Sometimes we will change it to... "Wow this chili is really hot." Or "Wow this sun is really hot" or sth like tt...

I wonder sometimes the things people say...

Hey people out there... you have any kind of weird funny lines (like above) you ever heard b4? Tell me I wanna hear it and proceed on to laugh my yellow ass off...

I Will Survive

2007-07-14T09:32:00.000-07:00

I don't think I'm a very difficult person. In fact I believe that I'm someone who doesn't really ask for much.

I don't really ask for much out of life, maybe just some respect from people, to be able to feel happy again on the inside... And probably most importantly, I guess to stop having people take advantage of the fact that I'm a very nice guy [Much as many of you try to deny it, you know it's true].

You see, friends are important to me. BUT close friends form one of the core basis of my life [Sorry Steve (Covey) but this is just who I am]. Needless to say if anyone of them is in some sort of trouble I will try to help them out as best I can...

One of the top problems always involve money. In the past many people always ask me to loan them some cash to get out of some of their own personal problems. And we are talking about cash amounting to more than $100's of dollars sometimes. I always end up lending them in good faith. Unfortunately for me, I have only been able to recover roughly 1/3 of the money I've lent out. Last time I counted, I think I have incurred a loss of at least $2,000 in money lent out to people and not yet returned.

Now it's sad that anyone of my friends who want to borrow from me I have to say no because of what happened in the past. I'm too afraid to lend money out now. Of course within the last 6 months I don't lend people money other than to those who really deserves to be lent to.

Some people have told me that sometimes I'm too nice to people that people often just take advantage of that fact and make use of me. I never thought for it to be true until of late whereby I finally realize what people have been trying to tell me.

Monetary issues aren't the only problem. I think I have resigned to fate that people only seek me out when they have problems and people don't believe them or they have no one to unload on. But when things finally look good for them, they stick to their own group of friends and literally kick me out of the circle until their next problem comes along.

Maybe it's because I always try and see the good in people no matter how bad they are. I never proclaimed myself to be the best person alive for I know I'm not. I know I'm not good at a lot of things but at least I don't boast about saying that I do.

I know my own limitations in life and after a long time, I think I have finally got around to working on making these limitations better.

I think after awhile, people tend to forget that I'm also a person. A human being who has his own set of problems and emotions to deal with.

Today, I have learnt that in life you have just got to be selfish. To be honest, I only restrict my "goodness" to a handful of people who really deserves it. I think that they are the ones who really deserves my generosity more than any others...

I think I really only trust these handful of people the most. The Rat of course being right at the top.

But at the end of the day it comes down to one decision. Am I willing to discard the person that I'm to be someone I'm not just to survive in this world?

Pain Is Love

2007-05-02T12:18:00.001-07:00

Today is 03rd May 2007.
13 days till my 20th Birthday.

Usually my birthday never fails to excite me. Not surprisingly, it is one of the few days in a year to which do I feel such happiness for. But this year, I just feel so unenthusiastic over it.

Why?

For one I’m having a “Series of Unfortuante Bad Luck” this year. Extreme bad luck. You could say its possibly one of my worst years ever.

Some of the bad luck includes:

1. Leaving the place of work which I have respectfully held for 3 long years. Why? Just because a number of other high profile collegues didn’t exactly liked JH. Just because he’s my “Xiaodi” meant that I’m implicated over a series of stupid complicated power struggle.
2. I have never been broke in my entire life before thanks to people not paying back the cash they owed me.
3. Bill payment problems
4. School problems
5. Social problems (Never had I experienced so many difficult situations in my life)
6. Most importantly, Jen problems.

Now to some of you these may seem trivial but let me express that these are just 10% of my difficulties. And the extent of these problems mentioned are extremely severe to which I think it’s best not discuss at this point.

Honestly, I don’t wish for much for my birthday this year. All I really wish for are:

1. Chill with my closests friends.
2. A short vacation away from Singapore. Away from all my problems.

Hell I’m not even sure if these wishes can even be fulfilled.

Robert Half says, “Planning for happiness is rarely sucessful. Happiness just happens.”
So where in the world is my happiness? How long more must I endure the pain and distress that I’m struggling from?

I have experienced many multitutes of heartaches before. Even before Jen. But how do you manage the ultimate heartaches of all heartaches?

No one seems to have an answer for that I guess.

Honestly, if you went through what I went through (By now many of you should have a rough idea), how do you recover?

Many people have raised the question to me… Do I hate her?
My answer. Yes I definetly most do.

But I don’t hate her just due to all the shit she has put me through. More importantly (Good or bad I have no idea…), I hate her because I love(d) her. I love(d) her so damn much that as you can see I’m still unsure if my love for her should be past tensed.

I’m so confused that it is affecting my everyday life. Not one moment goes by do I think of all the fucked up things she has done to me.

HOWEVER.

Not a moment goes by do I also think of all the things we have sacrificed for one another.

And this is killing me inside.

I’m not quite sure if many of you out there really get what all the confusion is really about. And I don’t blame you. Because this doesn’t happen to everybody. So it’s very easy to judge this situtation. But unless a person really has been through this, then do they really understand.

For those who really cared and those who have tried helping me through this. Thanks. I really do appreiciate it very much.

However, I would also like to say that it is very easy to say, “Oh just forget her. She’s a slut. You deserve someone better…”, or “Just don’t think about her…”, etc. And it’s true. I’m not saying these are wrong. In fact I’ve told myself that as well. But it seriously is not as easy to really do it. Especially if you are the person directly involved in this.

I can’t just instantly make my brain forget all the unhappiness. And even if I do, this mean I have to forget the happiness part of it as well. And some memories in life just can’t be erased or forgotten with just a click of a button.

And this is also in turn making it very difficult for me to move on.

Sometimes even if there seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel. Things seem to be slightly turning for the better. The past seems to always catch up with me. And it’s as if I haven’t progressed anywhere. The only thing that progressed is the battle from within me.

It is like an endless battle. When will it ever stop? More importantly. When will the pain ever stop.

What is a guy to do?

_____________________________________________________________

Everybody has a song that perfectly describes the moment they are in. Well here’s mine, it’s pretty much exactly what I’m going through at the moment.

“Until Yesterday”, JC Chasez

[Verse 1]
I found a letter on my dresser last night
I've got a baby on the way
It made me suspicious of another guy ‘cause
You couldn’t tell me to my face
And so I ask to find out if I was right
That’s when your eyes filled up with rage
Nine months go by the baby’s not my blood type
Look at the mess you’ve made

You know I love you so much
Girl I would never hurt you

[Chorus]
(But) If you play with fire then you’ll get burned
When will you learn now it’s your turn
Remember all the lies you sold me
Made me feel so sad and lonely
Now your fairytale’s unfolding
Nothing left to say ‘cause I loved you all the way
Until yesterday (oooh), Oh until yesterday

[Verse 2]
Oh well, Damn, well can you help me understand
Why you would keep me while you’re sexing with another man?
Or was it just a one-night stand?
Or was it something far more planned than what we had ‘cause…

You know I love you so much, I know your daddy taught you better

[Chorus]
You know I love you so much… ohhhh
Your daddy shoulda taught you better

(But) If you play with fire then you’ll get burned
When will you learn now it’s your turn
Remember all the lies you sold me
Made me feel so sad and lonely
Now your fairytale’s unfolding
Nothing left to say ‘cause I loved you all the way Oh!

I loved you all the way ‘til yesterday
Remember all the lies you sold me
Made me feel so sad and lonely
Now your fairytale’s unfolding
Nothing left to say, nothing left to say ‘cause I loved you all the way
All the way until yesterday

By the way, this is the new single by JC Chasez, produced by Justin Timberlake (My client. You know who you are…).
_____________________________________________________________

I’m not used to telling my deepest secrets to the world. In fact, I try not to. To date, I firmly admit that I’ve only told one person all my deepest, darkest secrets (You know who you are). I’m pretty sure some of you know who that person is too.
But unfortunately I’m in this situation where if I don’t say anything, I’ll lose and I don’t lose. Especially not to you. You’ve played the “Oh-I’m-So-Innoncent-But-Really-An-Evil-Slut” role for way too long. It’s time for me to take control of this battle.

As I recalled, you dumped me for a fucker (His name is Joshua for those who find it familiar) [P.S it's a different Joshua] a year and a half into our relationship. Worst part you left me when I needed you the most. A year and a half later, you acted so well in asking for a 2nd chance that I was such a fool to fall for it. I have never fallen for such tricks yet you are the 1st to fool me. You should receive the Oscar for Best Actress, you’ll win hands down. I let my guard down for 1 week and boom, you did it again. I remembered the exact words you said, “Sorry. I was actually using you to get back at my boyfriend to make him jealous.”

I let you off the 1st two times but guess what, “Twice bitten, Three times. It’s REVENGE.” I warned you that you will get it bad and you will regret what you did.
Now you come running back to me saying you’ve got a baby and you don’t even know who the damn father is? Well I’m sure you do cause I know whose it is. It’s that bloody irresponsible bastard you dumped me for the 2nd time (Woe and behold. It’s a different guy). Nice try for trying to put it all on me but I’m not stupid.

You can’t come running back to me just because every guy in the world left you. Hell I don’t even make friends with my ex’s, what the hell makes you think that you are any different from the previous girls?

Just so you know, I only went down the other day because of Lynnette. She’s my friend and thus I gave her face by going down. You think I’ll go down just to see your pathetic state? Hell no. I don’t even give a flying fuck sympathy for you.

I’ve already told you what you got to do. If you choose not to believe me at all, well guess what. You will be the bigger fool. You don’t even have a wee bit of responsibility and a huge inability to take care of yourself, what makes you think you can take care of others?

You just will never let me off will you? You need help. You seriously need help. Maybe you should pack your bags and leave for Bukit Timah Hill and stay there and really look back. I’m not going to mince my words nicely for you. I’m just going to hit straight out at you.

What you are going through now, you deserve it. You deserve every bit of shit that you are suffering now. Guess you should have paid more attention to the fact that, “What goes around comes back around.”

You made things worse by making me break my promise to my buddy. You should know how important of a person he is in my life. You crossed that line big time. You crossed it and you are going to regret it.
You can humiliate me, embarrass me; you can make me feel sad, lonely, angry; you can even cause me to lose some of my friends. BUT once you make me break a promise to someone of his calibre, you are screwed.
You should consider yourself unlucky I chose for him not to get involve in this for you need someone like him to talk some sense into you. On the other hand, you should consider yourself lucky that all the shit you have talked about him, and the shit you have put me through; he hasn't gotten to you yet.

Oh I should be gloating over your current predicament. But I won’t. NOT because you don’t deserve it, BUT because it’s only the beginning. I’m going to win this battle and I’m going to rub it into your face and humiliate you to the point you wished you never crossed my path.

And the only time I’m going to be nice throughout this period of time is now where I just mention your name. JEN.

Oh babe, I’m warning you to tell LiZhen to shut her damn filthy fucking mouth. She’s a lying bitch and if I hear another person telling me about what she has been spreading to the world about me. She’s going to regret it too. I don’t appreciate people talking behind my back, what I hate more is she’s talking behind my back about me with regards to things she know isn’t true.
If you don’t do something about it, I will.

This time you have gone too far. It’s time you learn to accept the consequences of your actions.
_____________________________________________________________

To those who have no idea what’s going on and think I’m a sadistic, childish bastard. Well I’m not. Is just that this brilliantly slutty ex of mine has gone too damn far and I’ve reached the limit. I should have done this long ago.

Normally I couldn’t care less for any of my ex’s but this time one of them has taken things too far.

This blog is not dead. It's brilliant owner is awaiting the arrival of several (And by several i mean plenty) photos from various camera's before entering a new post.

But for now as always something to think about.

"Losing a friend is like losing a limb, it hurts initially but it will eventually heal;

But losing a buddy is like losing your soul, no matter how hard you try, it will never completely heal."

I was watching "World Trade Center" just last night. Yeah the one starring Nicholas Cage.

And I suddenly remembered a particular short movie tribute clip this dude made for his girlfriend who was in the 2 Towers on 11th September 2001.

You got to check it out. I mean though that day may have since passed some 6 years ago. I believe the tragic events happened that day will still live on...

< /div>

Here's the address:

Everytime something reminds me of 9/11 (Be it a movie or something...) I will always remembered one question.

Where were you that very moment when the world changed forever?

Blood Diamond: The Real Story

2007-02-11T08:21:00.000-08:00

"I asked myself if God could ever forgive us for what we have done to each other. Then I realized. God left this place long ago..."

Danny Archer ("Blood Diamond", 2006)

Can you remember the stuff you did when you were 14 or 15 years old?
What was I doing? I was busy skipping classes, chasing girls and wasn't being serious with anything in life. I think most of us weren't exactly taking life seriously either. All we wanted was to have fun.

Half way around the world, 14 year old boys were being kidnapped and forced to join the rebels of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea as child soldiers. Can you believe this? You would think that the world today should be more civilized yet today, more than 200,000 child soldiers still exist? Fighting against their own people to gain control over diamond mines, oil wells, gold mines, etc.

child soldiers

Here we are complaining about problems with our girlfriends (or boyfriends if you are a girl), family, school, friends, etc... And people. Real people are running away from their homes for fear of their lives as their countries are involved in a bloody civil war.

Sierra Leone refugees running away

I watched this movie twice (I don't watch movies more than once in the cinema) and this has officially become my Favorite Movie of all time. This movie has hit more nerves and make you actually sit up and notice more than most movies have. This movie is obviously none other than "Blood Diamond."

The movie is basically set against the backdrop of chaos and civil war that enveloped 1990s Sierra Leone. It is based on the story of Danny Archer (Played by Leonardo DiCaprio) and Solomon Vandy (Played by Djimon Hounsou), both of whom come from completely different histories and lives; yet fate brings them together in a common quest to recover a rare, pink diamond.

Solomon was taken from his family and forced into the diamond fields where the finding of such a rare gem is an enormous risk. If found, the miners will be instantly killed, yet this diamond is the ticket to save his family from life as a refugee and more importantly, save his son from a worse fate as a child soldier.

Archer plys his trade as an illegal diamond smuggler and knows that the diamond is a ticket out of Africa, away from the cycle of violence and corruption. They enlist the help of Maddy Bowen (Played by Jennifer Connelly), an American journalist out to uncover the truth behind conflict diamonds where diamond leaders choose to make profit with the price of sacrificing such large numbers of human lives.

This movie is more than your normal $8.50 action packed movie. This movie as I said earlier on really hits the nerve. While the girls in our lives are so lucky to receieve diamond rings and necklaces. Little do we really want to know how do these diamonds actually come about. It's a movie based on a true scenario where a country was emboiled in a bloody civil war. In fact it is more than a movie. It's a story bout human sacrifices (so that we can get our precious gems), how millions of people have their lives and limbs taken away from them, their families torn apart...

Though the story of Danny Archer may not be true. Yet the story of real life people having been captured and force to mine diamonds to meet our supply. Fathers taken to the mines, sons kidnapped to be child soldiers, mothers and daughters raped and murdered.

The real fighting. The real bloodshed. It's as true as its going to be.

Here I am complaning about how my mom is always being so fucking naggy about every little thing. How she is trying to control my life and not giving me enough freedom to choose what I want to do. At least I have the freedom to live...
These people. They don't even have the freedom to choose. With their countries in constant chaos, staying behind means almost certain death.

Really, no matter how hard our lives are. At least we have a roof over our heads (At least most of us do), clothes on our back, food to eat... How can these people do what they do against their own people? Imagine. You are a farmer just barely able to support your family yet you make the most of things. Suddenly one day without warning, rebels storm your village. They amputate your fellow villagers for the fun of it, they forced you onto a truck to mine conflict diamonds, they grab your son and brainwash them to be child soldiers, some of your villages daughters and wives get raped and murdered while yours barely makes it out alive. Hiding in the bushes. JUST IMAGINE!

If these rebels aren't bad enough. The government is possibly filled with corruption, and/or are weak. Those that seek these conflict diamonds don't even give a fuck bout those innocent people. So as long as the world continues to buy diamonds, they don't give a fuck if it has costs millions of lives. They just want to make sure they earn profits to lavish themselves.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend. Well girls... choose your best friends wisely. You don't want to have a best friend who is a product from someone else's blood and suffering.

"The world is falling apart and all people care about is the president getting a blowjob..."

Maddie Bowen ("Blood Diamond", 2006)

They say that

"A person will only find true happiness once they found themselves..."

Ok fine... I made that up...

Now now... How many of you naive people actually believed that?

Ok anyhow. Lets get straight with it shall we?

I'm gonna be frank with you. I'm not the kind of person to share the most personal part of my life. In fact, I have only shared it with my buddy JH (Josh). Even people within my inner circle only know bits and pieces of my life.

HOWEVER!

Since you have decided to play this game with me... I will play it with you.

GAME TITLE: TRUTH

NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 2

INSTRUCTIONS:

(1) THERE ARE NO RULES. JUST SAY IT AS IT IS.

(2) ONLY THE TRUTH CAN BE PLAYED IN THIS GAME

(3) THE WINNER WILL BE DECIDED BY THE PUBLIC

Alright lets play.

Dear Jen,

When I first met you. I thought you were special. I thought you were one of a kind. I felt that you were beautiful on the outside BUT absoultely HEAVEN on the inside.

And when we were together. I do admit we had one hell of a relationship. All 1.5 years of that. There were happy moments, sad moments, and moments when time could just stop and only you was all I see. But that was it.

It's over. You dumped me for someone who is supposedly my good friend. Wait in fact, I do believe you were seeing him behind my back and would have been a fool had I not seen the both of you.

You did leave me broken hearted and full of hatred, anger and disappointment. But I grew up from that and moved on. I could not have been any happier hanging out with my buddies.

Then you came back... Though still with him, you still told me that you loved me all along and made a mistake. And that you want me back coz you finally realize that I was the one who treated to you well. That's what you told me, your friends and your enemies.

I said no. You persisted. You cried and beg but I still said no. You continued. I tolerated. But even the most tolerant person can tolerate it no more.

You used to tell everyone I was a flirt. I treated you poorly. That's why we broke up. Now you realize you made a mistake. Why can't we be friends? Simple. (1) I'm not the kind of guy who still remains friends (2) I'm not the kind of guy who would even want to be friends with the person who dumped me (3) We were never friends to begin with.

Now you tell everyone how well I treated you. How much you would like us to be together once again. How much you try to talk to me yet I refuse. You wish to meet me but I couldn't be bothered. You bought me a present but I did not want to accept it. AND the best part? You said I should not hang out with JH coz you think he's bad influence on me and you were just watching out for me. And you have never even met him b4. AND JUST BECAUSE YOU SEE ME HANGING OUT WITH HIM AT MARINA SQUARE DOESN'T EQUADE TO YOU MEETING HIM.

Well guess what Jen. I love the life that I'm living now. I currently have a girl that I truly like whole-heartedly. I love hanging out with my buddy JH. I love hanging out with my other friends too. And guess what's the best part of it? I'm loving the life that I'm living now without you in it.

Don't try and judge me or my friends. Coz you don't have the right to do so. You forfeited that right long ago when you decided to two time me with that guy.

You really are a hypocrite and you know it. You don't talk thrash bout me nor my friends and then try and tell me that you still love me. I may be a fool 1.5 years ago. But I ain't no fool now.

Don't be childish. Grow up. I no longer have any feelings for you and neither will I ever again have any feelings for you. I repeat. NEVER EVER AGAIN. So you can stop telling all your friends that we still have a chance coz we don't. I never wanted to say anything with regards to what happen between us coz I'm not that kind of person. But this time, you left me with no choice.

Leave me alone. Leave my buddy alone. Leave my friends alone. AND LEAVE MY LIFE to someone else who deserves it better.

I'm doing damn fine without you. And trust me.. my mind is fixed. So just give it up and move on.

And finally, let me wish you all the best coz you will really need it.

So long. And good bye... PERMANENTLY GOODBYE.

P.S And just to let you know... I don't give a flying cow what your friends say bout me coz really, we both know what really happened. ___________________________________________________________________

And so I don't have to explain in detail what really happened coz there isn't a point to do so. BUT if you must know. You know where to find me. Ask me and I'll tell you what really happened. EVERY DETAIL.

____________________________________________________________________

Alright. To be fair to people who have been trying to figure out what and who I've been hanging out with...Here goes...

This kid here. He's Jiahao (a.k.a JH or Josh) and he's pretty much my newly adopted "brother".

A true buddy. The only person who I'll tell everything to.

Next. My SPTT buddies.

Impressions VS Judgment

2007-01-31T07:24:00.000-08:00

"First impressions are important"

"Never judge a book by its cover"

I'm sure most of us have heard of the above 2 phrases throughout our lives.

I'm pretty sure we are all pretty comfortable with what it means too don't we?
So why not just cut straight to the point and curiously question, Which is the more important phrase today?

I've got to admit that if the following 2 girls walk right pass me...

AND

Frankly, its pretty obvious that the hotter of the 2 catches my attention 100,000 more times than that of the other less flattering of the 2.
Hell, I may not even notice the presence of the "other" girl.

C'mon, who are we kidding?
It's pretty much the same for everyone (Girls admit it. If Brad Pitt and Average Joe walks pass, I'm damn sure Brad Pitt gets your undivided attention).

The very first impression that you give to anyone seeing you for the 1st time will 98% of the time be the impression you will give them for the rest of your life (or at least the
1st 10 times they see you).

You could say that I'm shallow in thinking this way but I would pretty much disagree.

Ok put 1st impressions aside for just a moment.
Never judge a book by its cover. Pretty obvious isn't it?

I mean everyone puts their trust into someone else's hands and what does that person do?
Break your heart, stamp on it and toss it into a pile of garbage.
But you couldn't see it coming... It wasn't your fault.
No, you should have seen it coming?
But how? There were no warning signs!
That person listened to every word i said, lent me their shoulders, they gave me a decent, "Trust-ME!" feeling...
I never expected them to do this to me!
All these sound familiar? And what would you say to yourself... I should not have judge that person by their appearance.
They were actually pretending all along!

Ironically it leads back to the 1st thought: "First impressions are important."

So which do we trust? Which is more important?

Here's a scenario (If the story happens to resemble something that you have experienced. It's entirely coincidental that I choose now to say it and that these were all
based on past and present experiences. In other words. YOU CAN'T SUE ME!)
That girl seems pretty nice. She's so sweet! She dresses appropriately, nothing revealing. And she just gave $100 to a children's benefit!
6 months later...
That girl that seemed pretty nice and all really was a backstabbing bitch. She gave me the impression she was trustworthy and i told her everything that was
close to my heart. And what does she do? Tell the whole world behind my back and even said what a terrible fool I was...
Ever been through something like this?

So do you still trust 1st impressions, or would you keep denying that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clearning the air:

I'm sure there are many people out there who may think that I'm hanging out with the wrong person of late and you may think he is the kind of person you think he is. Let me tell you something.

He isn't what you most you people make him out to be. He just happens to be a victim of the dreaded "1st impressions" when infact he is
a 100,000,000 times better person than that.

He is pretty much like a "brother" to me so I would greatly appreciate if you (you know who you are) stop trying to act as if you know who I should hang out with
and who I shouldn't.
You had your chance. And you blew it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recent happenings:

What's been going on lately with me?

I'm in the middle of the exams. Nope not exactly studying.

I took a break from my job.

I was involuntarily asked to take some neoprints with collegues (From Top Left Clockwise: Baoru, Shiwen a.k.a Wushu Queen, Me, and My "Bro" Josh)

I visited the Science Center and National Museum with the above people.

I dyed and cut my hair.

And she still is my happy person.

Running Away

2007-01-18T11:34:00.000-08:00

Running away. It seems like its the easiest solution to a problem isn't it?

Why do people like to run away?

I used to believe there isn't any problem in the world, well in my world that can't be solved.
Now? I don't know.

Ok lets all be honest with one another, no holds barred.

Why did I skip a vast majority of this last semester?
I was and still am sick. But not physically sick.
What I'm going through now is a tremendous mental breakdown.
Something inside of me just snapped.
And trust me, it wasn't just like snapping a fallen twig.

Every part of me just disappeared.
I've lost a lot of weight.
I don't sleep.
I've lost some part of my social interaction.

Everything that I believed in seemed like nothing.
The motivation to go to school is gone.
The motivation to work has declined.
The motivation to live the life is fading.
Most importantly, I lost the motivation to believe in myself.

This is probably the first time I gave up on a problem.
Usually I would find a way out of this problem, just like any other problem.
Unfortunately, this time I chose the unimaginable option of running away.

I chose to shun away from the problem and hope it would just disappear.
The 1st time I choose to run away probably turn out to be one of my costliest mistake.

So what now?

Really. What's the next step?

"I know that I can't take no more, It ain't no lie, I wanna see you out that door..."

It's time for you to leave and let someone take your place. You have occupied my heart for way too long. You brought me down to my knees and left me stranded and lost. I was already a fool to let you play me the way you played the rest BUT I was much more foolish to continue to cling onto the ends of a rope I knew could no longer be restored.

"I'm checking out, I'm signing off, Don't wanna be the loser and I've had enough..."

I thought I was the loser in the games you play but guess what babe. You lost. When you said the words that broke my heart into a million pieces, you left a scar so big I thought I will never recover from. I thought I lost the game. Instead nowI know that really I won and you lost. The day you walked out was the day I won the game as I've come to see that life has defintely been much better once you left.

"Don't wanna be your fool in this game for two, So I'm leaving you behind..."

Bye babe. I now realize who really was the fool between us. It was you all along...

Everyone's Gone To The Movies

2006-11-07T00:08:00.000-08:00

To those constantly complaining there aren't any good movies to watch these days. I think you should check your eyes. Just look at the wide selection we are given. We are all spoilt for choices.

Here why don't I recommend a few for you. Money back unguaranteed (Hey what do you take me for... The movie man?!?)

If you are in need of action you should watch either "Crank" or "D.O.A"
"Crank" is about some bald ass dude (No not ambrose) kicking the crap out of the bad guys, while being poisoned and at the same time, fucking the crap out of his girl in the middle of Chinatown. My best guess was that Hotel 81 was fully booked and Chinatown was the cheapest place available.
"D.O.A" is certainly a good alternative. I mean which dude in their right mind would not want to watch 5 hot chicks kick the living crap out of 100,000 guys. Btw I heard that they couldn't get the Spice Girls as they were to busy reuniting and the Backstreet Boys weren't feminine enough for the part. Thus the part eventually went to Holly Valance and gang.

If you are feigned hearted then I suggest something for the family. How about "Flushed Away"
"Flushed Away" is about some High Class Rat (I'm sorry Mickey. They were looking for rats, not mice) being literally flushed down and saving his rat population from a toad. Oh didn't you know? Rats and Cats of the World have decided to put their differences aside after seeing Mickey Mouse and Simba working together in Disney. I'm sorry Evil Fairy Godmother but Toads are the new bad guys in cartoons!

If your heart is really that feigned (And hospital bills are too high) then I strongly recommend "The Grudge 2" or "Final Call"
Horror movies are so modern nowadays. I mean did you know that evil spirits can now use their wide mileage and travel on Spirit Class on Spirit Airways to wherever they want to? Heard they have a new promotion, the more you scare people, the more mileage you get. Really, the mom in "The Grudge 2" should really teach her boy some manners. Doesn't he know that not only is it rude to scare people un-announced but it is actually ILLEGAL to scare them at their crotch level. Only a boy and what a pervert he is. Frankly, the mom herself isn't any better. Can't she get a decent haircut? Her hair is constantly in the way of scaring people. We want to see her face.
Fine maybe "The Grudge 2" is not quite your thing so "Final Call" is a decent alternative. Bet you didn't know that by sending a forwarded message to your friends will ensure your survival and not theirs?! Hmm maybe I should forward a message to Kevin (Whose last name sounds similar to that of Feline) on my mobile... Nah. I think spirits themsevles have been to engrossed in their spiritworld.email.com that they have to now resort in forwarding messages to actually kill a person.

You see. I told you there are so many Oscar worthy movies around! So stop complaining and get to the cineplexes quickly. Wouldn't want you wasting your time watching CNN or HBO when you can spend $9.50 on decent movies.

Anyhow! Let's all welcome Hua's 4 million smiles as he bravely decides to attempt to win a car via the Subaru Challenge at Ngee Ann City over the weekend. No seriously. Well done dude, out of 800 participants who started out, you were the 180th person left.

Here's Hua's surveying the competition

Do you see the light?!? "Alleluia. Alleluia..."
BTW the babe in yellow is Meijie. Hua's girl. Stay away dudes. You have been warned!

"What-the-fuck-I'm-freaking-exhausted" pose

SHOT OF THE DAY! Hua's ASS!

You perverts. There ain't any more pics.. haha.. Nah good effort dude!

And finally, Happy Birthday Sharon!

P.S I've finished reading (Yes I DO read other than just FHM) this book. Recommendable to all especially to the Emotional-less people of this world.

Alrite people...

CIAO!

Highway To Hell

2006-10-29T22:17:00.000-08:00

It's been one hell of a weekend. Mostly it was hell.

It was worse than screwing a 900 year old gorilla.

I lost my match against NYP on friday. The good part was that SP won 3-2 (The gals won 4-1). But since I've already mentioned that it was a hellish weekend.. Lets all mourn over my tragic lost. Everybody. Together now...
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that save a wretch like me (Goes severly off-tune)..."
I was pretty pissed at myself and the whole team had to render their condolences.. I mean console me to calm me down. That was a night match.

The following morning, our school had to play a postponed match against NP. That we disastrously lost 5-0 (Guys and gals team). I was rested for that match so it was good.

Our team had lunch at "Ding Tai Fung" and I decided to try their Mango Pudding. It was deliciously sweet, bloody brilliant stuff. But you know as the phase goes, "Never judge a book by its cover."

In this case, never judge a mango pudding by its cover. I largely suspect my fever of 41.4 degrees, diahorrea and constant vomitting the following 36 hours was due to this deadly mango pudding (AND NOTHING 2 DO WITH THE FACT THAT I WAS SICK AND STILL CONSUMED LARGE QUANTITIES OF ALCOHOL...). Such sweet delicacy yet so deadly. JUST LIKE GIRLS. Hahahahaha.

Oh yes and I would like to say this. As you can see from the picture that this is such a beauty. It is the ultimate beauty a guy can own. Petite, Pretty, Hot, Slim, etc. In other words A PERFECT 10.

(For those who can't see it like Nic as I tested it on her. This beauty is a mini cooper.)

How unfortunate that the guy who owned this beauty was such an ignorant prick. He actually parked his beauty right infront of the staff entrance of MY hotel (yes people. MY hotel. It's all mine!). How do you expect people to get out?!?! What if there was fire! The beauty will be trampled upon like a stampede of elephants over Cody.

Lets continue our discussion on ignorant people. There's this security guard in MY hotel who asked my NP friends (Who are from the dragonboat team), "What is that?!" (--> Pointing to the paddle) Like hello... It's a paddle. DUH! What you think it is? An exqusite piece of fertitilty god or perhaps a sculpture!?!?!

And he followed a stupid question with a stupider question.."Why did you bring it for!?" Gee I wonder why my friends brought it. Maybe it's cause they decide to become rebels and their choice of weapon was one single paddle to stuff it up that asshole of a security's ass.

But you can't blame him for being such a prick. After all, their boss is one of the biggest prick in the universe. He's like constantly screaming (Notice I said screaming...) at his staff yelling things like "Are you stupid or what?" when actually, he's a real life version of a walking pussy (No offence to cat lovers).

Ignorant people are aplenty in Singapore. Ok maybe the following scenario is not about an ignorant person. It's about a person who can't seem to understand the sign CLOSED. He was trying to top up his EZ link when the machine clearly spells out CLOSED. And he just kept trying to insert into all the available holes (No pun intended) and still can't figure out why. Which part of CLOSED could he not understand. I think it's the english part of CLOSED that he doesn't understand. And mind you.. This guy is neither "blind, illeterate nor senile".

Oh yes. I was in school and after having some "Fresh air", decided to wash up. And thus was inside the toilet that I found it mildly amusing they have this inside...

What do they expect us to forget? Our ding-a-ling, our thingy... haha.. ok I'm sorry. Just a joke.

Alright. Hell should be over. Oh wait. It's not. There's BD. Ok... Hell continues...
"Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn"

Au Revoir.

It's A Hard Knock Life

2006-10-25T22:36:00.000-07:00

And so it seems. the first post was a success.

I feel like a man now. No longer a boy.... I'm finally

A MAN!!!!!!!!!!!! Roar!!!

(Apperently... If i put too much exclamation marks I was warned that I could potentially be debarred from blogging ever again. Do I look like I give a flying fuck? WAHAHA)

What a great last two days (if you think i'm being sincere. well u guessed wrong babe. I'm a guy. Guys are not sincere. We are DAMN FREAKING SINCERE! but we aren't sincere)

From now on. I shan't do my tutorials. Everytime I decide to be the clever, genious, intelligent, hardworking student that I am... I never make it for tutorials despite my brilliant dilligence in completing the tutorial. Instead, I always make it for tutorials when my alter-ego (--> U know.. the mini-Louis's running all over the place. Oh wad a thought...) over.

Yesterday when Nic called me, I tot who's this crazy woman calling me at 5.30am. Don't you know a PRINCE like me needs his sleep! And why has the sun risen so brightly. Its 5.30 in the morning. Isn't the sun supposed to awake at like 7am!?!?! To my complete delight. I realized it was actually 8.30am. Boy oh boy. Mrs. W must be going "Where's that NOTTI BOY again?!"... I proceeded to then take my own spicy time (--> Who says it must always be sweet? I like my time SPICY.. Sizzling hot!). Took a cab to school and the driver decides to take his own Spicy time too (Not with me. I'm too straight for that kinda shit). I mean is like i can even see the birds flying faster than the cab (Not that cabs can fly.. Wad kinda world u think we live in? Hogwarts?)

It was competition day. But I didn't play not bcoz I wasn't selected but because of the rain. Postponed till Saturday. Damn it. I was scheduled to play the most pressured position, the 3rd and final singles. The weather must be playing with us.. maybe I should ask Nic since she did "Understanding weather..." Mayb she can tell me why rain is called rain and why clouds are called clouds.

I remembered singing (Yes people. I can sing. I can hold a tune without sounding like a crossbreed of crows, toads and Jack.. Oops did I say Jack? I meant the Jackal)... "Rain rain go away, come again another day... Little Louis wans to play (Play ... hmmmm... play with who?! Muhaha. More importantly. Play WHAT!) Rain rain go away..." Apperently it didn't quite work coz right after I finished, it rained heavier and lightning strikes tripled.

That reminded me of the song... "Row row row your boat, gently down the stream. If you see a croccodile. Don't forget to scream! AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRHHHHH!" I know what Huda will say. "What nonsence!" oh wait. That sounds more like Nic.

Anyhow. It's Aunty Wong-Ka's class now. She.. I mean he is being a prick as usual. So I shall come back later and spread my nonsence to the world!

Ciao!

My dirty little secret

2006-10-24T09:59:00.000-07:00

Alrite people. I've got a dirty little shameful secret to share.

Today, i did it for the first time. I was damn nervous.
I just gave in to temptation, the urge was too strong.
My heart said "No! Don't do it..." but the rest of the body was like "Be a man! Just do it baby!" Now I'm curiously afraid I didn't meet up to expectations.
Everything happened so fast I only remember feeling sticky and tired at the end.
I could hardly even hear myself!
Well all I can say now is that it was a pleasurable experience.
Painless and unregrettable.

At least I can now hold my head high and say,

I'm no longer a virgin...

BLOGGER!

You asses. What were you sick, perverted people thinking about?

Ok anyhow... I've got to roll out the Red carpet and thank Jack for doin such a damn fine job creating this whole thing for me.

Do I have any expectations for this blog? (Woah sounds like I'm filling in a job interview... "What expectations do you have for this company," --> Get paid! Duh... Show me the money baby! WOOOOO!!!) Ok yeah ... Nah. I'm just doin this for fun.

Unless of course I become famous just by blogging and become an instant celebrity by doin nothing. I don't even have to flaunt my ass.. i mean assets. Can you imagine all the fame and fortune (Ka-CHING! --> For u dense people out that. "ka-ching" is the sound of a cash register and not a place in Malaysia.) Gee i can just be like "Falling Snow" (Say it in Mandarin) and her fake eye lashes.

I think I can just retire by the age of like 25. Settle down with my model wife and our very own football team in a palace up in Bukit Timah Hill over looking all you commoners! (I'm sorry but its the highest point in Singapore... Madness. Other countries have mountains and what do we have? Hills). MUHAHAHAH! Being served by maids in French dresses (Not the salad dressings idiots!). I shall train the maids to say "Your wish is my command Your Highness..." or "Yes your highness..."

Damn. Look at the time. I've been dreaming bout hilly assets and french maids that I forgot about doing ITFD. If I don't do.. I think i'll get the "Uh-uh" by Mrs. W...
Imagine..."Darren! U didnt do ur tutorial! Uh-uh you NOTTI boy. HeheHAHAhoohoo..."

Alriteys. A bit long winded for this virgin entry but I'll be back.
