haha. hahahaha. I still can't stop laughing when I see this picture. Best dressed table for D&D 06/07, and now for 07/08! These guys really brought sexy back. hahaha. Sheares Hall Block A whoosh!
And if anyone is wondering: Yes last year everyone was in drag too, and I was part of it. No I was not part of the cabaret girls this year as D&D would have cost me $70 and I am kind of poor :(
Psst. If anyone wants the numbers of those hot 'ladies', just drop me an email and I'll oblige you. *wink*

Back from the dead
Wow time passes fast when you've got your PS2 and a canoe-polo competition to keep you busy for the whole hols. In fact, so busy that it's already week 6 of the new term?!? It's crazy! I remember once during an internship interview I mentioned that FYP would be interesting and that I was looking forward to doing it. Thinking back, that might have been the pincher which caused me to flop the interview. They must have thought I had lost my mind saying FYP would be fun. Anyway i retract that statement, FYP is a big pain in the ass. Prob not as much as a FYA though. Hahaha.
Well Wen the old cow came back to Singapore and we had a really fun time catching up and pokering. Hope he comes back soon I still owe him $20 from poker :P
And here is my current favourite poster, lovely stuff. You have got to love China..check here for the full story: http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/04/17/news/china.php
Yeah, I would say the same too. =)
P.S: Siki you should go work at this hospital. You've lots of practice!

Staying Alive
Hello hello...I'm still alive!
Just suffering from my usual bout of Toomanythingstodo-ithis. Dreadful disease it is.
Managed to spot a new hero in Spiderman 3 when I caught it on tuesday. The appearance of emo-spidey. All decked out in black with a long greasy fringe and dark eyeliner. I was half expecting Eddie Brock (Venom) to turn into Paul-Twohill when he bonded with the alien symbiote (the black crawling stuff for those who do not read the comic) in the movie. Thank goodness he instead morphed into a black figure with a large mouth lined with numerous razor sharp teeth and a large tongue, occasionally drooling green drool with a raspy voice worthy of Bryan Adams.
ok 6am time to sleep. Zzzzz.

Sunday Bloody Sunday
What an original title for my post. I am creativity incarnate.
It's a humid Sunday evening now, and the weather today has been..to put it simply, screwed up. It was blazing hot till about 3pm, at which it rained for 10 mins, and then the sun came out to fry us all and give us skin cancer. Didn't help that I wasn't feeling too good and puked my breakfast out while taking a dump. That in itself is an achievement though. How many people you know can claimed to have vomited while taking a dump? Now I'm one of those elite few! woohoooo.
Have decided to stay at hall to study for my upcoming exams, last night was spent at home resting up for the next 13 days. The next 13 days aren't going to be pretty for me, I promise you. Even Nwankwo Kanu (talented fellow but ugliest footballer ever) would look like Fiona Xie next to the next 13 days which I will have to go through.
The amount of negativity on our Ministers' pay increase is incredible. Not a single person I've talked can justify the rise to themselves. Honestly I haven't been following the news at all (I only read trashy news, I refuse to face up to the realities of the real world) so I'm in no position to comment. But!! Here's a point which we should have realised by now:
NOTHING YOU SAY WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Our government excels in its role in managing our country, even more so when it comes to controlling the populace. No matter what the people say, they are never ever going to admit outright that you may have a point. That would just undermine their authority and position. What we get are mountains of justifications and explanations shoved down our throats in the form of newspapers (or in Singapore's context: newspaper - since only 1 major news publication is read by majority of Singaporeans. And no, The New Paper does not count as another news publication). So seriously..what's the point of it all? Countless issues have cropped up before, and it more or less ends the same way. Government makes a dubious decision. Peopl complain and demand explanation. Government explains their logic. Explanation is deemed insufficient and people demand action. Government shoves their logic up our asses, and we become constipated with all the unjust we feel. What's new?
The people aren't all guilt free either. 1 popular arguement(from what I've heard lah) is how many eldery people have to work hard to make a living while our ministers take in so much more $. They say. "Shouldn't the money be given to them? Save our people! Save the elderly! Damn you ministers!" Well if its such a big issue which eats away at your soul, what are YOU doing for these people then? Do you give up half your paycheck for the unfortunate people in Singapore? Did you just blow your bonus on that nice Europe holiday? Somehow it just reeks of all that constipated unjust, another excuse to blame our government.
Hordes of people are just waiting for bad news so that they can bury our government with accusations. The scary thing is that all these anti-government sentiments are spreading like wildfire amongst the younger generations. What's worse is that most of these people are like lost sheep following the herd. Seems like its the hip thing now to feel all angry and unjust. Personally I blame the whole 'emo' craze. Heh. That's another can of worms waitng to be dug up.
It's easy to point fingers and accuse, but lets not forget Singapore is where it is now because of our government. I just hope for more objectivity, and less angst. Instead of just complaining (which I have to admit our nation is excellent at), go ahead and make the changes if it bugs you so much. Work hard and enter politics. Strive hard to make the changes you want. Either that or shut up. To quote Dr Dre, "Talk is cheap, muthafucker".
I love that song.

The Understanding
The lush melodies of Royksopp pour out from my old weathered speakers, spilling out of my door and filling every nook and crany of the corridoor with melancholy. Time seems to slow down to a comfortable crawl at 3am in the morning. It's a time which I have grown to become exceedingly familar with, to the point where I now welcome its silent embrace.
It's the 9th week of school, the months have gone by quickly admist the hustle and bustle of life. They say 'time passes faster while you're having fun', which leads me to ponder: What fun have I had? What have I been doing? What has been going on?
My speakers whisper gently to me:
"'Cause in these times, that's no way of knowing"
To be honest, I have very little recollection of the on-goings in my life in the past semester. I don't know if it's because I have become distant to the people around me, or that my life has become a never-ending cycle of mundaneness, or if its because I've become indifferent. And that's what scares me. This banal existence.
I think I need a good holiday. That or many rounds of Mahjong with my kakis. Dudes we gotta play soon man. Seriously.
The music ebbs away, leaving its final message..
"I don't know what more to ask for, I was given just one wish."
Royksopp is power.
"Chants sung by the cold wind, rising from the ice-cold sea to our ears."

Save Internet Music!
For everyone who has enjoyed internet radio (eg Pandora), here's something you should take a look at. I won't be so quick to judge if it's all corporate bullshit, but this could potentially mean the end of internet radio.
"Proposed changes in royalty rates paid to the RIAA are being passed by the CRB (Copyright Royalty Board) which will cause most Internet Radio broadcasters to discontinue operations. There is a short window of opportunity to appeal these outrageous rate increases, that will only profit the RIAA, big brain-dead broadcasters, politicians and lawyers in the short term.. and no one in the long term.. we the Public will suffer the consequences..."
Just to create some awareness, let's hope other countries do not adopt the same policy. Seriously can't they allow SOME good things in life to be free? Tsk.

Killing Me Softly
I am dying. Then again so is everyone. Just that I seem to be dying at a rate which is higher than normal. My body doesn't seem to be what it once was..Ok either that or I just ate too much CNY goodies and I'm now feeling the after effects. haha!
Was wheezing like a mad dog after running the 96 route in school, which is about a paltry 2.2km. Continued wheezing through gym. I really detest pullups. Took me like 30 mins to fully recover! 30 mins leh! You could watch an entire episode of The Simpsons in that time. Speaking of which I am really looking forward to the Simpsons movie.
anyway you take 30 mins, multiply it by 10 and you get...*drum roll*...300 lah. If you got this wrong go smash your head against your monitor, you're probably under utilizing its capabilities anyway. Hopefully I'll get to watch 300 this weekend..the last show I watched almost made me cry, which is not manly at all(it was the pursuit of happyness btw). So away with the tear-jerkers and welcome adrenaline-pumping, testosterone-filled, blood-splattered 300! Can't wait. =)
Online shopping is killing me. Seriously it is. I have been spending way too much for my own good. Gave it some thought and I realised its not worth it to buy new clothes anymore. I don't go out enough to make my purchases worthwhile, half my t shirts have been worn less then 5 times. Seriously. The last paragraph just made me feel like a girl. I need to watch 300 now. TESTOSTERONE!!
Somehow everytime I see the 300 poster, Troy pops to mind. Who could ever forget that inspiring speech Achilles(Brad Pitt) gave to his troopers:
"My brothers of the sword! I would rather fight beside you than any army of thousands! Let no man forget how menacing we are, we are lions! Do you know what's waiting beyond that beach? Immortality! Take it! It's yours!"
and not to forget my personal favourite by Achilles:
"Is there no one else? Is there no one else?"
Talk about arrogance lor. We are lions lor. Roar!

I am how cool
This is what I gave Liling for Vday. Damn nice right? It's a one-of-a-kind organiser. No way you will be able to find anything similar in the shops. "Why?" you may ask? Because I spent many hours making it! hahaha I'm like how smart. Hold on a minute...I'm overwhelmed by my creativity.
It's actually a book cover which fits any A6 sized notebook. Only one in existance lor. Even I don't have one. Many thanks to PK who helped me with the materials. Owe you one dude!
This is what she got me for Vday. A sushi spread bigger than...heck I don't know what's bigger than it. Maybe my belly? Felt the love! Woohooo! Taken on my incredibly messy table..which you can see in the picture. Sushi = Love.

Desire: Table for Two
Went to the Scarlet for a V day dinner. Ate at the Desire, which had a lovely ambience and excellent service. That's the peach tart dessert, which was really good..yum yum. It's also the only photo I'm posting because the place was too dark for any good photos. Looks bloody atas right? haha. Just for that one special night only. Now its back to maggi mee and hawker centres. =)
Couple picture! Wheeeeee...look at those happy smiles! Liling is how pretty! My shirt matches the deco! Ok I obviously have nothing more to say.

fooking ugly tan
Spent a good 3 hours in the sun on thursday morning conducting a training session for canoepolo IFG. Woke up late and reached the pool at 9am. Realised I didn't have my rashguard(its a really tight top which shows off all my manly curves, used for watersports), so I just went for the session half naked.
The result?
A really really bad case of sunburn, as well as really really weird looking tanlines from my equipment. Now I have 2 'racing stripes' down the length of my body. I look exactly like the car in the picture now. My body is burnt a lobster red while I have 2 white stripes. Daaamn sian.

As cute as cute can be
Me and my new friend striking a pose for the camera. Fucking act cute. hahaha.
Taken on a recent trip to the zoo. Been like 10 over years since I went there, the place has pretty much changed so it was quite interesting, especially the baboons with their (RED) worthy asses. I swear, the alpha male baboons are freaking sex gods. Each has its own hareem of baboon chicks, and all they do is look after the kids, lick the alpha male all over and have sex. The male just checks out the red ass he likes and wham bam thank you ma'am. Life is good being a baboon. haha!
And no, this is not my hareem but a picture of the Canoe-pole BABES, taken on the same day. Sorry guys all of them are off the market except for the monkey on the right in blue and the sweet lovely lady next to it. So if you're a young eligible bachelor, feel free to leave a note and I'll hook you up with the lovely lady. If you're a horny male baboon looking for someone to clean your cave and lick you over contact me too, I'll send the monkey over to you. hurhur.
(don't worry la Kim I'll make sure its a handsome baboon. hurhurhur.)
