taking a break

i would like to write a long goodbye but i don't think there is a point since not many pple read this blog anyway.

so goodbye.

nothing to blog

nothing to blog abt.

boring.

WoW, GW Music Videos

for those girls who wonder what the hell their boyfriends/brothers/fathers were doing in their virtual worlds of Guild War or World of Warcraft.

They are obviously having too much time....



"The internet is for porn" music video....search it at youtube here.



cool music video below, of the characters of the games..
very nicely done.
watch it for some classic dance moves....



how did they manage to get the characters do those dance moves?!

Darth Vader vs Japanese Police

made him laugh. made me laugh too.



the second one.

Large group of friends

the thing abt large group of friends, pple tend not to meet up after the very purpose that held them together is no longer existing.

Not just Army.
Not just NUS.
Not just economics studies.
Not just hostel life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

having went through, hmmmm...

2 orientation groups (1 NUSSU. 1 Temasek Hostel) as a freshman.

a total of 5 groups [3 NUSSU, 1 Arts, 1 (?) Temasek] as a senior. (u can tell that the NUSSU orientations are more fun)


How many of these groups are we still meeting up regularly now and then?
Nil.
Zilch.
Kosong.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I used to be very active in arranging dates and organising events.
but when the economics batch of 2005 graduated, i can't be bothered.

from past experience, I know that no matter HOW HARD i try, the group will simply die.

the few few months, everyone will gosh and gush abt how much they missed each other.
how much they love each other
how much they would wanna meet up again.

blah blah.

i give it at most 1 year.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

pple always are busy.
have pior appointments lah
ohhh sorry, i am supposed to meet my gf/bf/fb lah.

i too tired from work lah (knn, tat day haven't come, u already know u gonna be tired that day)

the most classis is this guy, neofik asked him and he said he has to do Overtime.
On the day itself, i called and he was on his way home on MRT. he said he going home.
where's ur OT!!!!
and i asked him to come, he said he tired.

nevermind that we haven't meet each other for 10,000 years.

nevermind that u just met ur gf/bf/very-good-opposite-sex-friend/fb and u cannot meet this group of friends who u never see for 10,000 years.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and the WORST shit abt organising a group outing.

bloody bloody hell.

1) there will always be pple with a million questions.

"where we going? do wat? eat wat? drink wat? what time? do wat? for wat? then do wat? then do wat? then hor, do wat? then after that leh, do what? then do wat? do we go home? do wat?"

2) there will always be pple SUPER SIAO ON.

"i sure go!!!!"

then last minute never turn up.

3) got some pple everytime need confirmation one.
can confirm number of pple
can confirm location. can confirm the time when its 10minutes to the meeting time

why must confirm pple before u come? you're an adult leh.
why must confirm time? u so busy ah....?

4) sure got pple dun understand a simple question that only require "Yes or No"
they give u 1000 sentences and still no "yes" nor "no".
i very simple one leh, i only binary-trained can?

5) then dun like wat we doing, ask us why we doing that. is it really fun to do that
knn, u so smart, u come organise lah!
i sure follow watever u suggest!

6) OR dun like wat we doing, and offer other suggestions. AFTER i sms-ed, msn-ed 10million other pple.
dude, next time when u organise, u set, ok?

7) then hor. on the day, sure got 100 pple late, last minute ask u where is the location.
say later meet us can. ask us wat we doing.
or wanna change the location

if you feel that you are a lot of the above and I am writing this to mock at you.... don't be silly. a lot of pple act like u. you're not alone. I'm mocking at everyone.
if you want to refute anything, just comment here.
don't msn or talk to me abt it.
i very sian listen to theories and explanations.

you really feel my theory wrong, u go organise N times. :)

decisions are tough.

last year, i won an award from my insurance company.
i was ushered off overseas for some convention. at there, we took a photo.

now now, that photo was taken using special equipments coz i think there were, err, 300 people in that photo?

it was those kinda of camera that u rotate around a stand, and u have to keep still for many many secounds while the camera scan the whole room. powerful stuff.

well, today, after sooooo many months, they have finally sent me the photos.
everyone's name is listed under the photo (logistic nightmare)....

the photo is HUGE.
wow. its like 2 A4 paper laid length to length.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i spread the photo on my table and took abt 2 minutes before I could find myself in it.

suddenly, at that moment, i feel very small.
i have always feel bigger than life, bigger than everyone.

suddenly, this very photo jolted me.
in the grand scheme of nature, I'm just a minor detail.

don't you feel small sometimes?
don't you feel irrelevant?
helpless?
that life is 1 big question mark?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i gave swiss miss the biggest advice i can ever provide.
i asked her to listen to the Sunscreen song.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

sometimes i worry too much.

Bangkok is fun.

bkk is good!

good food. i've been eating, and eating and eating.
not much shopping.

just eating and eating.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

eating. and eating.

oh god, i'm gonna be sooooo fat :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i think i may try to be a politician here and make a living. at least there's democracy here.

I hv this feeling I forgotten more than a sleeping bag

#%#%$#@!%!!! I forgot to bring my sleeping bag!! (for hiking, just in case)

Argh...this is what happened when u pack ur bags just 1 hour before leaving the house


should have listened to Feathers / cowmoomoo / 10,000 other pple....

Boo. hope i won't have to go hiking.

Budget Terminal not really tat budget

I'm excited.

I just used my biometric passport!

You scan your passport, then impose ur thumb on the scanner. Once you are verified, you're through!

Very convenient. So much better than queueing up for to see a grumpy guy and hearing all these "chomp chomp" sounds (you know the sound of the stampings on the passport).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And I tot Budget Terminal got no air-con?
Heng ah, some guy finally woke up and realised that was a dumb idea in warm singapore.

You don't wanna piss off too many tourists, man.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

while typing, Duty Free staff just broke a helluv bottles of wine. i think u can hear the crashing sound from everywhere.
there goes their profit margin. heh heh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Free internet. Free Local calls.

Not bad what, this budget terminal.


Give that man a Tiger!!

You got ur Lift Upgrading. Happy?

We cut the PAP's margin from 75% in GE2001 to 66% in GE2006.

So what? we are not a proportional representative democracy where 34% of the vote for opposition would translate to 34% of seats in Parliment.

The opposition only got 2 seats. :(


I won't be blogging anytime sooner. Got a plane to catch on Monday.
Ideally, I won't be returning home in a jiff.

Flags

Look what I've just bought.


I gave the flag to my brother to play. and when my mum saw him...

"why u playing with that! you would get caught if u do so!"

ehm.

Depressing Times

the Straits Times depresses me.

every single mainstream media (MSM) depresses me.


you would not believe the disparity of information from the MSM and the internet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the most depressing is that many educated people, from our premier Top 20 World-class university somemore......

dare not vote for opposition because of fear.
because of serial number on the ballot.

educated but yet they believe the votes can be traced.
and they believe they will be punished if they voted for opposition

[in case u're still wondering, no, the PAP can't trace ur votes. the serial number can't trace u, its only there to trace a precinct. they want to identify area of votes for statistical purposes.

when all the votes are cast, they are taken and counted in front of representatives from all contesting parties. once all votes are counted, they are put back in the ballot box and sealed with seals from both parties.
they are then locked up for 6mths.

within these 6mths, if there are no other disputes, they will be taken out and inspected by representives of all parties to ensure that both seals are intact.
Once satisfied that the ballots are all untouched, they will be transported to Tuas to be incinerated.

and i know of at least 1 civil servant who is well known for supporting opposition member, so far, he is still rising high in his job, so ya, no problem.]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No fear in Singapore, my high and mighty ass.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And then there are people, who have not bothered to gone to a single rally, nor to read abt the party, nor to try and find other sources of information

and conclude readily, most subconsciously from the MSM i bet my ass, that the PAP is high and mighty.

and refuses to read any extra information that i offered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

good news is, every day, someone will get very disgruntled and tell me how annoyed they are at this election.

perhaps, i told them, u can join the opposition.

You take any PAP member, and I can't tell whether they are in it for the money or for the love of their country. I'm not saying they don't love the country, i just can't tell whether they join politics coz of money or patriotic reasons.

for Opposition members, its definitely not coz of money. u don't get much. u get sued every now and then. ur family probably get sleepless nights. more than 1 opposition member has his/her mum kneeling down to beg him/her to get out of politics.

Seriously, why do u think they join Opposition for?
Fame and Glory ah?

Election'06 - The Crowd is amazing

taken by yawning bread.

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

People should not be afraid of the government, government should be afraid of the people.
