And then the boredom opens....

according to the Singtel technician, the reason why I got my ADSL internet disrupted most recently was.......

(substation) struck by lightning.

Damn ironic, considering that I'm the make-believe CEO of Zeus Corporation.

I think the real God of Lightning ain't that happy with me.

Beside, I thought lightning doesn't strike the same place twice??

No matter how many friends you have, how connected you are to the network...



when u need that someone to talk to....

when u need the movie partner....

when u need that someone to whine and listen....

when u just need a hug.

no one has time for you.

A look at my ICQ list, my two MSN lists (yes, I have 2 MSNs) and if you insist, a glimpse at my AIM (AOL instant messenger, got it while I was at the States) and then, my hp list.



People look at Cherub as someone, talkative.

okok...VERY talkative.

Cherub as sociable and easy-going. Humourous guy.

Someone who knows a lot of people.



They forgot that when Cherub goes home, he's just a little guy who is alone.

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



Must be the lack of internet at home. seriously.



Wandered into this topic with xinxiu, swiss miss, nomad some time before. You may have so many friends, but in many moments in time, there are none who can make time for you.

And then....





you don't make time for others too.

till its too late.

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

Talk abt AIM. The only reason why I resist YahooMessenger is because I will be a real IM (instant messenger) freak if i get YM.

Absolut loving ICQ.

Life without internet. Here's help from MSN.

ICQ. MSN. AIM. and then if i join the dark side, YM.

MSN has overtook ICQ as the number one most used IM on the net. I'm so disappointed with ICQ which I had loyally supported since the beginning of life as we know it.

Inefficient ICQ, half-hearted attempt to create a common platform for ICQ and AIM. Something that should be relatively easy since AOL owned both ICQ and AIM. And the lacklustre attempt in creating similar ICQ-Photo-display and whatever.

Mirabilis! Why did u sell ur soul to AOL????

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

On the topic of Instant messenger, give me your comments.

What is the most popular or the best IM, in your opinion?

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

Somehow, the topic of the month evolved into WRONGS.

a 3 hours chat session with Captain Planet and Yanzifan. A bitching session with my B3, marsque.



You see, I'm a true-blue scorpio.

Alright alright, a nasty orangy fiery scorpio :D.



Or as Two-face has kindly pointed it out, Cherub is a 小气鬼"Xiao Qi Gui" (Little Petty Ghost, literally)



Oh well. I take wrongs seriously.

I don't forget gratitudes and goodwill, BUT neither will i forget nor forgive wrongs, breaches of trusts, backstabbings etc.



I can actually, seriously, understand the pains pointed out by yanzifan, though to be frank, this rarely happen. I mean the agreement with yanzifan's way of thought.

Its painful to be wronged.



hurtful and insulting when you realise your friendship is nothing but a manipulating block of relationship that can be belittled.

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



But slave to the wrongs, I shall not be.

Karma will repay me.



Preferably in cash or credit.

And so the books closed.

Open book exams!

Textbook! check.

Lecture notes! check.

Readings! check.

Tutorial notes! check.

Classmates' term papers. check.

umm, pens, pencils?

Exams Tip #101Always bring pencil case to your exams.

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



A few friends of mine asked if I mind them spreading my blog around.

Apparently people like to laugh at my silly mistakes. (pen purchase, without the pen, for example)





Of course not. Go ahead. :)

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



Exams tip #102 try ur best not to waste time drawing typhoons, houses, and err, hearts during exams.



Exams tip #103 take into account traffic jams and delays when u do drive to school. ESPECIALLY for 9am paper.



My friends pointed out that in open book exams, the thickness of the papers has a negative correlation with the confidence level.

I forgot to point out to her that I print all my notes DOUBLE-SIDED.

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



Marsque pointed out a serious flaw in my previous entry.

Zeus is the God of Lightning. NOT lighting.

Haha.



For the confused, lightning is what occured during a thunderstorm. Lighting is the fixtures that brighten up your home during night time.



What a silly mistake.

The next time you know, I will have the God of microwave, god of refrigerators, god of telephones.....



Hmmm....I wonder if there is a God of Internet.

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



If i vanish without a reason, and there are no proof of this blog, whatsoever. Then the Matrix has struck.



For the 3rd time since I got my new Singnet package, I'm out of internet again.

they happily waived off the $20 charges to send someone over to take a look.

and its been 4 days! goddamnit.



You know you're an internet addict when.....

1. You arrange to go to WaRpEd's house for internet the next day, on the pretense of err, printing out past year exams paper.
2. You dreamt of using internet at his house on the night before.
3. After ur last paper in NUS, u proceed to the computer labs and stayed damn long for the internet. And yah, u blogged.
4. you start to prepare the backup internal ADSL modem in case the Singtel guy dun come today.
5. you proceed to format and boot up your old laptop, just in case ur internal modem fails too. 56.6k modem is better than no modem.

I kid you not.

"People with disabilities ask not for patronising pity, charity, welfare benefits or freebies from the public and government. we ask for understanding, empathy and just that bit of basic human decency. and a fair, fighting chance in daily life."



A fair, fighting chance in daily life. That is what we all want for our children, isn't it? Be they "normal" or special.



Sometimes, all we need is a chance in our life.

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

As peanutbutter has pointed out, "action lah".

"help some poor kids in india who r dying of water poisoning"

She's helping out Youth Expedition Project, who are going India to help out with their water shortage problem. Building water tanks and spreading water conservation measures, as there are a lot of kids who die of water contamination.

I hope they don't have to drink piss like we do.

Anyway, Christmas is coming, so do drop me a mail if you wanna get some christmas cards from her. The procceeds are for a good clause, so do chip in!!!

Zeus is the GREEK god of lighting. LKY is Singapore God of Lighting Party.

wat are these? (pointing to brochures in my car)

oh, brochures of my marketing project.

the company is listed as Zeus.

why Zeus?

He's the god of lighting (our company is related to electricity)

Oh, i am not familiar with this as I'm not a christian.

It's nice to have a project submission deadline smacked right in the beginning of examination.



Yes, a huge business plan.

Oh did I mention a major presentation just before examination?



Don't u hate project work? where everyone got different ideas and different styles of doing things?

its one thing when there are many indian chiefs trying to do it HIS way.

Its another when there isn't any leader.



I was initially lost when I had to do this project group with 7 other pple I hardly know.

8 indian chiefs.

8 workers to share ideas, work, and a single grading.



Phew. Thank god they're the best project mates ever.

1 astonishing business plan.

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



God/Fate/Heaven/The Matrix really really hates me.

Either that, or it wants me to study really hard for my exams.



As mentioned earlier, my Singnet got discontinued as I forgot to sign up for another plan after i cancelled my existing, more expensive internet package.



Ho ho, but i got it back.



And then The Matrix/Heaven/Fate/God strikes back.





Somehow, all the phone line to my home got disconnected. I can't hear a single tone when I try to dial out. And when u attempt to call me, u get connected to a fax machine.

sounds reasonable.



Except that I don't have a fax machine.









They took 2 days to send someone down to the sub-station nearby and rectify the problem.

and another 2 days for a technican to rectify watever problem with my ADSL when I realised that the phone line may be back, but the ADSL doesn't work anymore.



I tell you, the matrix is out to get me.

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



The jedimaster has kindly showed me this link





ahhhhh.

and the slavery states lost the civil war.

bloody freedom, liberal states, wake up! u lost the elections, grab ur guns now!

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



jedimaster asked whether I'm part of metafilter.



metafilter: a community blog, an American civil blog-ring that cares abt politics.



U can't do that in Singapore.

They will probably highlight ur unconsultative, and confrontative ways, and how ur views can damage the fine fabric of our nation.



Blah, we may be ready for bar-top dancing, and hell, even a casino......

but nay, the PAP government knows better.

An annoying guy who was recently employed as a local bank's customer relationship officer managed to destroy the reputation of financial advising.

cherub: customer relationship officer?

neofik: its essentially the same as us.

cherub: they have fixed pay, we don't have lah.

neofik: they sit in office waiting for customers. we go out of office to find clients.

cherub: ooooh. i see. just that they represent banks, we represent insurance corporations lah.

This guy went on to spam mass email all his friends, friendster noticeboards, and god-knows-wat to promote a few investment funds he's selling.



In his email,

There are two investment funds that will earn us a tidy sum of profit which im recommending, since im at XXX Bank of course i got inside info!

Inside info my ass.

Min investment for this one is 5k,but imagine u put 10k for this,return rate will set u jumping for joy!

All joy and no mention of risk. Must be a very good fund.



In 1 email, he swept away the integrity and ethics of a professional financial consultant.

Without doing any proper financial reviews for the buyer and shoving the pure benefits of the investment vehicle right in your face, this guy isn't any better than a vacuum-cleaner salesman.

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



According to recent news, the financial sector in Singapore is undergoing some reforms and dramatic shakeouts.

About half of the current level of financial advisors will be fired let go.



The old will go, the new will arrive.

For higher standards, higher professionalism. (Less vacuum cleaner salesmen, more real financial advisors)



GOOD.

Econometrics is evil.



*repeat after me*

ECONOMETRICS IS EVIL.



The very last topic of the last chapter of my, err, most hated subject.

its beautiful, I tell you.



We have to study, oh gosh, HECKIT Model.



By the time u reach the last topic, Heck it lah.

The bush fire that was extinguished...

Funny that exams are coming, and I WAS panicking for a moment.

After a while, I got tired.



Seriously, u dun hv to study too hard / early for NUS exams.

just study intensively the night before. thats really very important.



and hands up, those guys who agree with me that during exam period, EVERYTHING is so much more fun.

u just got to check out that old magazine u decked out sometime ago, the latest movie. The new flash game is soooo...well, playable. u see extra money for shopping, and well EVERYTHING is simply more enjoyable. Everything EXCEPT studying.



and yes, u find urself with lots more to blog.

Saw this website, sorryeverybody.com, from my dose of michaelmore.com



From the 49% of americans that are truly sorry.



For all those americans that did NOT vote for Bush, we forgive America. :p





screenshots taken from the classic computer game. SIM CITY!

LOL. I love this Richard already.











All these photos from http://www.sorryeverybody.com/

Most of the Americans, I must say, are still literate.









Any americans claiming aslyum, welcome to Singapore!



wait. *look at Singapore's PAP government*

eh, forget it.

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



A lot of people have been waiting for me to blog about Bush's victory.

sorry. I didn't blog about this earlier as I need time to get over it.



Its almost as bad as a failed relationship.



4 more years. sigh.



American has been kidnapped by the conservative far right.



Kerry lost not because he wanted to get out of Iraq.

He didn't lose because he wanted to roll back tax cuts for the rich.

He didn't lose because he has a sound economics plan, concrete health and education polices.



He lost because he is pro-choice.

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



When my friends, a good hefty number of them, and I declared that Kerry will win, we were super confident.



even the betting odds showed it.



The huge turnout on election day was overwhelming. It made american history. The turnout was frightening to the Republicans. A huge turnout will be more favourable to Democrats, whose supporters, the poor, blacks, women, etc are more pro-Kerry and LESS likely to vote.



A huge turnover on election day. The odds for Bush's victory rocketed skyhigh.

(for those non-gamblers, increasing odds reflects decreasing chances)



I saw photos of democrat supporters crying.

I can really feel the loss. In fact, I was goddamn pissed tat day. And surprisingly, there were a lot of young people of my age, who felt the same about Bush's victory. (I was at NUS arts computer lab checking the results)

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



If there is any consolation, as michael moore as pointed out.

Contrary to all predictions and to tradition, MORE young adults (18-29)

voted in last week's election than in any other since 18-year-olds were given the right to vote in 1972.

The youths of Americans voted overwhelmingly.

Not only did they come out in historical numbers to vote, they were the only age group to vote majority for Kerry.

Unlike 2000 when Gore and Bush almost evenly split the youth vote (Gore:

48%, Bush: 46%), this year Kerry won the youth vote in a LANDSLIDE, getting a

full ten points more than Bush (Kerry: 54%, Bush: 44%).

And he gave "17 Reasons Not to Slit Your Wrists" after Bush's victory.

Basically america is still within salvation.



Oh well, 2008. Looking forward to that.

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



You know, I'm pretty amused by the names of the presidential team.



John F. Kerry, and John Edwards.



Imagine, instead of the "Kerry-Edwards" team, we use their first names....



Classic. John-John team.



I can imagine some dumbos going.....



Aye, who's tat dud running for president again?

john.

Oh, and who's the other guy running for vice-president?

john.

eh? Hmm..did i heard wrongly? i asked for vice-president.

yup. its john.

huh. what about the PRESIDENTIAL candidate?

JOHN!

eh! wat the hell? why is he running for both position!!

WAT A FLIPFLOPPER. that's it. i'm not going to vote for him.



Oh well, if bush uses his last name, and cheney uses his first name...

that will be the Bush-Dick team.



Nice.



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



From a classic satire newspaper, one that make up news and write great articles. :)

my favourite read each week. www.theonion.com



its beautiful how satire, and stuff that makes u laugh....it often speaks the truth more boldly than the mainstream media..

WASHINGTON, DC—The economically disadvantaged segment of the U.S. population provided the decisive factor in another presidential election last Tuesday, handing control of the government to the rich and powerful once again.

"The Republican party—the party of industrial mega-capitalists, corporate financiers, power brokers, and the moneyed elite—would like to thank the undereducated rural poor, the struggling blue-collar workers in Middle America, and the God-fearing underpriviledged minorities who voted George W. Bush back into office," Karl Rove, senior advisor to Bush, told reporters at a press conference Monday. "You have selflessly sacrificed your well-being and voted against your own economic interest. For this, we humbly thank you."

Added Rove: "You have acted beyond the call of duty—or, for that matter, good sense."

According to Rove, the Republicans found strong support in non-urban areas populated by the people who would have benefited most from the lower-income tax cuts and social-service programs championed by Kerry. Regardless of their own interests, these citizens turned out in record numbers to elect conservatives into office at all levels of the government.

"My family's been suffering ever since I lost my job at the screen-door factory, and I haven't seen a doctor for well on four years now," said father of four Buddy Kaldrin of Eerie, CO. "Shit, I don't even remember what a dentist's chair looks like... Basically, I'd give up if it weren't for God's grace. So it's good to know we have a president who cares about religion, too."

Kaldrin added: "That's why I always vote straight-ticket Republican, just like my daddy did, before he lost the farm and shot himself in the head, and just like his daddy did, before he died of black-lung disease in the company coal mines."

Kaldrin was one of many who listed moral issues among their primary reasons for voting Republican.

"Our society is falling apart—our treasured values are under attack by terrorists," said Ellen Blaine of Givens, OH, a tiny rural farming community as likely to be attacked by terrorists as it is to be hit by a meteor. "We need someone with old-time morals in the White House. I may not have much of anything in this world, but at least I have my family."

"John Kerry is a flip-flopper," she continued. "I saw it on TV. Who knows what terrible things might've happened to my sons overseas if he'd been put in charge?"

Kerry supporters also turned out in large numbers this year, but they were outnumbered by those citizens who voted for Bush.

"The alliance between the tiny fraction at the top of the pyramid and the teeming masses of mouth-breathers at its enormous base has never been stronger," a triumphant Bush said. "We have an understanding, them and us. They help us stay rich, and in return, we help them stay poor. See? No matter what naysayers may think, the system works."

Added Bush: "God bless America's backwards hicks, lunchpail-toting blockheads, doddering elderly, and bumpity-car-driving Spanish-speakers."

The holy day of Mankind

Stupid things I've done so far (this is getting far too regular in my blog)

1. Need a pen. Bought a pen. Paid for pen. Left the cashier. without the pen.
2. Wanted new internet access package. Cancelled exisiting internet access 1 mth in advance so that can take up new plan. After 1 mth, internet cut. had forgotten to take up new plan.
3. Dialup with my laptop. Didn't realise virus can survive speed less than broadband.

Solution I've came up with:

1. Bought another pen
2. Bought a new internet access package.

In fact, I got a better internet deal, since I went down to NUS and took up the SingNet student offer. There is however, a registration charge of $42 applies.

The sweet babe in charge waived it off for me coz of my birthday.

(Nay, who am I kidding. She didn't waive it coz of my bday. I don't go around declaring my bday. *look at my MSN nick* okok, i take that back.

she waived it coz she's nice)

The only bad thing is I have been without internet at home for the past few days, and till 12th Nov. Can you believe it?

Birthday without internet? Oh my god.

I'm the one that defined "INTERNET ADDICT."

fear not, my laptop to the rescue. In my attempt to access the world wide web (actually MSN and ICQ are more like it), I braved my unprotected (anti-virus software expired) laptop using a ridiculous dialup 56.6k in the last frontier.

The entire WindowsXP got corrupted and crashed at 11:52pm. just 8 minutes before my birthday.

I kid you not.

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

Bday has been quite heart-warming so far.

This semester has been sort of a culture shock for me. (Okok "culture shock" is exaggerating) Out of hall life, I'm now exposed to social life within this bigger but tighter economics honours batch.

And damn glad I made these new friends... for they really warmed my heart.

For many of the economics students, my fellow comrades-in-arms, ahhhh, how should i put it?

Before this semester, I have NOT seen most of you, ever.

Nope, I haven't seen u, supercarwash. Neither you jedimaster. (wait, i remember the super blue hair!). Nor Swiss Miss, Miss Kong, Ivory, Ling, muddyger, Samantha, JX, Nomad etc.

Not even the 4 beauties who I nicked the Four Seasons.

And what a great brunch of kids they are. Haha. Had my fun for the semester washing cars with supercarwash, light-sabering with jedimaster, blah blah blah.

Oh man, i didn't know there is a social life beyond hall. And I tot all NUS students are nerds!

Turn out that the nerds belongs to other faculties/departments. heh.

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

Got a home made card from Miss Kong and Swiss Miss!! and delicious chocolates to boot.

And of course a fiercely red hong-bao. :)

ivory, one of the sweetest girl in NUS, was rather sweet. She was chatting with me when my laptop took a vacation to "XP-blue-screen-of-death-land". She knew I was upset, and she declared she gonna bombard me with sms and wishes every hour of my bday.

And her song, marvellous, except for the part..

"happy XXth birthday to you!!!!!!"

haha. Its good that pple don't know my age.

rats. I've aged.

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



the many birthday greetings and wishes via ICQ, MSN, SMS, emails and of course, those personal face-to-face wishes.

You warmed my day...and my life.



THANK YOU.

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

The good thing about sharing a birthday with someone in a tightly-knitted group is that celebration is double the fun. The group does more for your birthday, because, ahem, economics of scale. Haha.

Of course, you get twice the cake. :D

Thats two cakes! 1 huge sticky chewy brownie cake, and 1 warm, delicious apple pie cake.

Damnit, just for that, I love you guys!!

(PS to the UNC gang: My brother didn't ate much of the leftover apple pie. I finished most of it.)

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

Talk about sharing birthdays with the most interesting person

I just watched shark tales.

Damn nice. The fish really looks like will smith.

And the female one, really looks like renee

Angelina jolie looks like Angelina jolie.

I don’t get it. What you mean the fish? What movie is that?

Oh, the actors act as fish in this new movie.

Really ah?

How they act as fish?

Oh, they wore costumes. You know, add fins and flaps.

Put some make-ups.

Then how come their face still can look like the actors, i tot costumes liao, should look like fish.

They don’t put on so much make up, so u can see the actors’ faces.

Really meh? very interesting leh. I wanna watch!

By then, the rest of the group is not exactly controlling their laughters.

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

Ended the day with 杨丞琳 (YCL) in 我猜, 我猜, 我 猜猜猜!!.

Okok, it was just my pure fantasy that 杨丞琳 ended my bday with me. OH WELL.

Apparently, there are some people in Taiwan, who works at consoling dejected people who just suffered from a broken relationship.

And this guy who is working in this line, said that his main aim is to help people realise that the best way to recover is to get out of the slump, and be a better person.

At the end of the day, make the other party REGRET that he/she dumped u.

对！对！对！说得真对！( 阿雅 Aya's quote of the show)

In any case, its a weird coincidence that in that particular (old) episode, it was Jacky Wu's birthday.

生日快乐！！ Happy birthday, funny dude!!!

Pre-birthday excitement

A few more days to the grand day of mankind's joy!!



I've already received my first birthday present, can you believe it?



Its from my manager. Talk about good service.

Guess what it is?



A Purple Tie!!!



haha. I believe thats a subtle hint to my dressing habit.



I must be the most causally dressed financial services consultant ever.

The minimum most agents dressed is a formal shirt and pants.



Guess what does Cherub usually dress in?



Jeans and, er, more youngster-kind-of-shirts lah. (just to clarify, i think the shirt above is ugly)



Heh. Hey, I'm young (i AM young) and I need to connect personally to my clients you know?



In fact the last time I met a client dressed formally in shirts and pants, he was feeling awkward, so I thought maybe I should have stick to more youngster-looking-attires. (I AM YOUNG)



In any case, the purple tie must be a subtle hint to get dressed really formally.I haven't told my manager yet, but I have actually tailored lots of shirts and pants, not to mention bought a few more ties (non-purple) in the past few weeks.



Professionalism starts from carrying yourself professionally.

(beside, I look good in professional attire. enough said.)

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



And mizu_ayuko has pledged to buy a nice wallet for my bday.



eh. especially after seeing my current one.

People who don't know me usually thought that I went through the Iraq war after seeing my wallet. Hell, its worse, they probably thought I went through the USA presidential elections.

Its battered, torn, and old.



Nope it didn't went through any wars (or elections) but I had to resort to this old wallet after I lost a newer wallet to some evil forces.



Eh, I placed it at a chair in a MRT station and walked off without taking it.

Meet cherub the forgetful.

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



Alright, I have to admit. I love receiving gifts.



Its not the gift in itself, not the monetary value.

Its the pure joy of receiving a token of love, appreciation and nice stuff.



You feel much warmth and sunshine receiving even just a card.

Yup, I'm that easily contended.



All along growing up, I seldom receive presents for any reasons. Its just the way my family is. Seldom any gifts or exchanges of appreciations. Typical Asian family?



The first gift I bought for a family member is a Play-Doh set (to make "french fries & burgers") for my kid brother. Although he's 8yo now and I no longer see the Play-Doh set, but I remember clearly that he was damn excited and happy about the gift..haha...

and that started my penchant for receiving gifts.



to mizu, my manager (although she won't see this), "fallen angel", and those who have expressed birthday greetings to me so far, really really appreciate this. :P



to those thinking of buying me expensive presents or even, outright Hongbao, DON'T!!

I will not accept it. YES, tats to you, Swiss Miss.

I appreciate it, and I stand by Miss Kong's sayings (future economics lecturer), its the thought that counts.

A card will suffice. :)

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



Ooo..u know the 5 wanted gifts i wrote earlier?

You people really really shouldn't have ponder so much.....its for show only...



I don't want them.......



....









....only.



Muahahaha..



6) A mobile phone!!



Actually this will be the birthday gift that the most important, most handsome, most clever, and almost certainly most humble person in the world will be going to get for me.



Me.



But I'm not too sure what model should I get? I think I'm sticking to Nokia, despite my current model 6510 auto-restarting at the most critical time. Yes, right just after you typed that sms. That really make my day.



I want a phone that

1. Looks good. I'm a mobile phone fashion victim.
2. Allows simple note-taking, calendar-planning etc (no PDA-phones, pls, I'm a non-engineer)
3. Preferably with blue-tooth technology. For that accident-prone driver.
4. Did I mention "looks good on me"?

But which model? so far, while searching on the internet for a decent phone, this model is the one I like best.



Nice (phone) model.



Any phone model to recommend? And I mean either the phone or the person.

Heh, leave me a comment if you have phones to recommend.



7) A cool pair of shades.



What do you expect? Going to drive an "ah beng"(chinese gangsters) car liao, of course must get "act seh" (seh: hokkien for cool) shades!



Sunshades for the governator of the sunshine state.



I'm making a new comedy film "California: when the wrong dude govern"





Paris Hilton, posing as usual.



Look at that pair of.....shades.



8) An elegant name card holder (to be placed in car)



Something that is classy, and oozes sophistication.

Should be heavy enough so that it will stay put in the car when I'm driving. (people who have been my passengers before can testify to this important requirement)

Something that make pple "oooooo, what's that...soooo nice"





NAME cards holder! NOT pokercards holder!!



9) Accessories for the car.



Black Lancer.



I do think I need a spoiler at the back.

For those uninformed, a spoiler is this addition wing u add to the back of the car. When the car is running at very high speed (>120km/h), it act as a drag to force the car to stay close to the road. [as opposed to flying off the road]



For safety of course.





This guy must be a really really fast driver.



For those unskilled in bengness, a spoiler is also an "act seh" instrument.



Other kind of accessories:





Neon lights at the bottom of the car.



Flame thrower



For those moments when U just can't light the BBQ charcoals.



10) A blonde



Imagine Paris Hilton as my, ahem, financial client.

Manage her million dollars trust funds. Muahahahhaa...the best of both world.



KTV with Britney

Tennis with Anna.







Man, I need a life.
