KTV

Posted by dapaowang at 11:46 PM on July 1, 2004.

today went ktv. Sing until like shit. I think i sing like shit. I think singing is not easy. I mean singing nice is not easy.
Kena approached by this damn poor guy at chinatown. He was selling tissue paper. He had a very badly bent back and was like struggling to take the tissue out of the plastic bag he was holding. After struggling for like 30 seconds to take it out, all of us just waved him away. Then he struggled another 10 seconds to put the tissue back. Felt kinda bad after that. Kinda regret not buying the tissue from him. I mean helping him with a dollar is not that big a deal rite? I bought a snack for 2 bucks after that. Could have forgone half the snack for the poor fellow. He could hardly walk properly. Not to mention take the tissue out of the plastic bag properly. If i see him there the next time, i will buy the tissue from him. I promise.
But then again, the damage has already been done. No point promising anything....

My newest fixation is now this.

The Nissan Sunny 1.6 litres(see picture above/below)
Not cos its damn chio or what. Its ugly and long to me. But its my father's car. And i dream about getting to drive it out one day.... one day.....

I realise that once pple get their licence, they start to fantasize about cars... when i din use to know how to drive, i just heck care all the cars that i see around the place. Now i just marvel at every nice one that passes by me.

2nd july

Posted by dapaowang at 12:23 AM on July 3, 2004.

One week of not working. What have I done? I spend tuesday going precamp...... wednesday doing absolutely nothing? Oh i did some research for jing and had tuition also..... thursday i went KTV whole day..... friday played badminton in school then meet ah boo after that to get some CDs.... hmmm.... not bad at least everyday got do something..... tml i going to pack my table and then go cycling at night..... wah lan, read all these crap damn boring hor.... haha....

Ok shall write something more thought-provoking.....

lets talk about blogging..... wait, i think i have written abt that b4.... refer to opendiary.......

A very distracting thing happening on tv lately has been the uprising of the NKF children fund. Looks like they are truely embracing the capitalistic structures of most private firms and expanding their business.... they weren't able to garner enough money from kidney patients so they have cleverly decided to tap into the children's market......

To round it all up, they are doing it again!!! They will be having some freak show on sunday again to raise funds for children in need. Sometimes i think there is something wrong with Singaporeans..... they need to see freaks like he yao shan on tv get pricked with needles b4 they reveal the hidden inner compassion within to donate money.....

Why is there a need to sensationalise this whole thing? I can accept that they make the TV series (hai you ming tian).... i think TV drama is a good way to highlight the sufferings that these children go through. No qualms about that. It's ok. Afterall, its entertainment isnt it? No harm..... I feel sad for these kids that i see on tv too.... i mean this is happening to people around us everyday..... its unfortunate..... But is there a need to make TCS artistes go on TV to make a fool out of themselves doing stunts that are totally unnecessary? Is comparing the pain they go through with the pain that patients suffer appropriate? I think they are in absolutely no position to comment about level of pain suffered by patients cos they dun have the disease. True enough, they are just trying to gain sympathy to win over people's heart. But is it really necessary?

Then the question is, if that is not necessary, what exactly is necessary? I have no idea too so i am actually in no position to comment either i guess. Like jing likes to say, if u cannot come up with something better, then dun go around critisizing other people. I guess thats true.

I think the sad thing is that, once they started on showing TCS artistes doing stupid stunts, they were never able to stop. One wrong move at the front and it just snowballs on and on. Every year, Singaporeans just wait in expectation for the newest and dumbest stunts that the artistes will try..... everyone is just going like..... oh my, zoe tay is going to take a big didlo to stuff into her ear... and she will be saying that the pain of having a didlo in her ear is nothing compared to the pain suffered by those patients so please call 1900 blah blah.......

every year the stunts just have to get bigger and more kua zhang..... if not pple will be dissapointed and nobody will donate to maintain the i dunno how many million dollars that they need....

This TCS artistes doing stupid stunts will go on for some time i guess..... dun be surprised to see fann wong climbing bukit timah hill during the NKF show... then they will do a live transmission over to the studio to see her wearing a sphagetti strap and puffing up the hill and asking pple to call the 1900 number..... then the emcees will be like jia you fann, we support you!! You can do it.... then they will try to emphasize, ladies and gentlemen, fann is attempting to climb singapore's highest hill..... its not a simple task.... let's support her (takes out handphone at the same time) by calling 1900 blah blah.......

Bleahz.... i talk too much......

nite cycling

Posted by dapaowang at 04:09 PM on July 4, 2004.

THis entry has no pictures cos nobody had a camera..... but nevertheless i shall put some fake pictures from last time to pretend there are pictures to make this entry interesting.

ok that picture sucks anyway...... it's kinda artistic huh... and it shows a nice ass.....

Well anyway went nite cycling on saturday nite.... with only chinz and noel..... 3 pple.... but still quite fun......

We decided to have a "park" theme for the night, so we ended up going to all the parks we could think of. so we went to bedok reservoir, bishan park, lower pierce reservior, McRitchie reservoir and dunno how many more parks lah...... anyway parks are pretty scary places at nite..... so dark and isolated.... dunno why couples wanna go there to hang out.... I would never try that myself lah.... anyway jing would probably dun wanna go.... haha......

Anyway the bikes at east coast are like damn power man..... now they have bikes with new gear systems and even have odometer to record the distance u cycle as well as a front light that is powered by a dynamo on the front wheel.... and its only 10 bucks per night even if u rent one..... 7 bucks if u rent in bulk..... looks like price competition there is rather stiff...... Last time the prices were never that low.... the auntie says she needs to cut prices to compete... as consumers, i guess we stand to benefit the most.....

Anyway my boss is giving me a treat tonight...... at where i dunno..... meeting at 6...... yeah got good food tonite..... erm, that is providing he erm, decides to treat me good stuff.... haha.... scali he go kopitiam and order fishball noodles.....

2 more weeks before i get to see jing!!! haha..... 1 more week before her projects are due.... wahhaha...... bless her......

There is this new marigold jelly with fuji apple and mango i think.... looks interesting..... i shall go try it tonite and announce whether it is worth a eat or not......

Ok time to do some research for jing now....

I am cool like a fool in a swimming pool but not as gay as a tao gay in the chao chingay although i am down like a clown, charlie brown.

congrats

Posted by dapaowang at 03:11 PM on July 5, 2004.

congrats to greece. They have shown us (assuming no syndicate or bookies are involved) that nothing is impossible in the sporting realm. Most pple would not have given them a chance to win it, but they did.... not in spectacular fashion, but in an orderly and disciplined style of football. They always defended with a solid back 4, played the offside trap well and threw everything they could to block any shot. This kind of "ping ming" attitude is really what some of the big teams need to learn (I am refering to beckham and company)......

But erm, if the modern game were to be all controlled by bookies and syndicates, then i must really take my hat off them cos they must have earned a pile from all the bets being put in for the big teams that greece managed to upset.

packing room

Posted by dapaowang at 06:00 PM on July 6, 2004.

Today i packed up my room.... it has been dragged for a very long time ever since the exams ended on 24th of april..... so basically my table has been piled full of crap ever since the exams ended.... so now it has finally been cleared.... refer to picture below to see what i mean by messy..... i erm..... shall post some photos next time to show u guys my clean table..... digicam is with jing in thailand so i got nothing to take pictures with (ok the camera is her's but i technically own erm a large percentage of it... haha)......

Well anyway, having swept the table clear of dust and wiped my computer clean, my room feels a lot better than b4..... ok i shall admit the real reason anyway.... its cos ah boo is bunking over at my room for the next 2 nights... and i dun want him to be sleeping in a pile of dust cos a bit the paiseh..... haha.... but anyway his arrival has given me some motivation at least.... so the results are mutually beneficial.....

But packing room always gives me a bloody damn flu..... cos i am bloody allergic to dust..... a bit of it and it sends me sneezing like mad and i will start feeling like shit and i will be sick b4 u know it..... as i m typing this, i m still feeling like shit, but lan lan cos later still got tuition...

Anyway i shall go and sleep now.....

Diong diong diong.....
Doing doing doing.....
Donig donig donig.....

Its a wonderful feeling when u are sitting at home with nothing to do..... nothing at all...... or rather cant think of anything to do.....

Jing called just now.... so happy to hear her voice..... she bery free over there, happily dying hair instead of doing projects..... =P
She said she would buy some thailand hair dye back for me..... only cost like 2 to 3 sing dollars.... dirt cheap.... looks like my hair going to change colour liao loh.... haha...... she also buying some thailand tea leaves back...... she say cheep and nice....

it looks like the freak show with overseas celebraties is going to be on this sunday while the one with local freaks is on next sunday.... am just waiting in anticipation to see what freak stunts they are going to come up with this time...... but FYI, i m not going to donate a single cent cos i am too broke..... i only know how to open my mouth to critisize and keep my pockets closed when asked for donations.

I think convocations are so nice..... it would surely be nice to wear the gown and walk up the stage to get that piece of paper that you spent so much sweat and blood and effort on..... Even if it is like so dumb, it is nevertheless a one-off event that brings about a very high amount of significance, just based on its grandeur that is.....

Sadly i wun be taking my family portrait with my gown on cos we have already taken one a couple of years back when my bro and sis graduated..... by mum ask me to go and take one shot of myself and frame it up..... guess i shall not bother wasting money on that..... haha.... but anyway that is like in one year time, so i shall not think so much about it now.

This entry is full of crap..... its not worth reading even i think..... not even entertaining.... how very dumb...

reservist cohesion day

Posted by dapaowang at 10:00 PM on July 9, 2004.

Today went for cohesion day..... cos my reservist got best engineer reservist unit.... but what i heard was, there was only 2 unit competing for the award last year.... haha.... and the other unit was all made up of old soldiers and i just said, aiyah, give them lah.... haha.... so we are the best!!! yeah.... haha..... how dumb

Anyway we played one whole day of free bowling, pool, air rifle and lan games.... but i only played bowling lah, cos the rest of them i also not very interested......

But i think the stupidest thing about the whole thing was the prize giving ceremony... cos they have this like inter-company competition in rock climbing and bowling and shooting this kind of thing lah.... so the winner and the loser all have to drink one whole can of beer.... aiyah, whatever it is, the officers all just have to go up to drink beer and make a fool of themselves lah..... I think its damn dumb leh.... what is this association of beer with masculinity ah? Why issit all army gathering must always have beer ah? why is drinking beer the only way to show a sense of comeradare (dunno how to spell this)? Why beer??? why a stupid drink that tastes and smells so horrible? So damn bitter and do damn gross..... why not just compete by asking everyone to eat one bittergourd? I think its the same effect loh.... its a much healthier version, and it tastes almost the same i guess......

Then the loser and the winners all must drink.... for what???? what if that bugger is allergic to beer? what if he has high blood pressure? what if he gets a stroke after drinking that beer? what if that person has never drank a single drop of beer b4? what if that person just end up puking in front of the whole damn battalion? I think eat bittergourd is still better... cos its tastes equally aweful but at least it ensures that nobody pukes all over the place and reduces the chances of a earlier death by drinking too much beer.

I think beer sucks.... i think all alcohol sucks..... it is a one-sided opinion that is always going to be correct to me.

si bai de man 2

Posted by dapaowang at 01:30 AM on July 11, 2004.

I just caught spiderman 2, in case u din manage to understand the title of this entry.....

i just have one query....

Why issit that movie characters always have something inspirational to say in times of distress?

If i was spiderman, this is what would have happened:

Me: Eh turn that stupid machine off leh... going to explode liao... i dun want to die..... i haven tell mary jane i like her leh.....

Dumb Prof: Wah lan you think i dun want to turn it off meh..... these arms are controlling me leh... they keep psychoing me to explode the whole damn city and kill half of New York.

Me: Basket, you just try to psycho them back lah..... they psycho you, you dunno how to psycho them back meh.... Use a bit of willpower lah... study so much liddat also dunno.... biangz..... i still want to write my paper on you one leh.... you damn loser leh.....

Dumb Prof: Ok lah ok lah i try lah..... *stares and tries his best to overcome the 4 stupid arms*

Me: Wah lan, you bloody piece of shit, can you f***ing hurry up or not.... going explode liao leh.... you better turn it off before i f***ing cut off your balls and throw them into that big f***ing energy ball in the middle....

Dumb Prof: Wah lan, i waiting for you to say something inspirational to ignite my senses mah.... All movies also like that one....

Me: ok ok..... erm, ok, you said something before about talent b4 rite? Its a privelege, not a gift from god.... you are supposed to use it for the good of mankind...... eh issit ah? argh, i think so lah.... quick quick, save the world....

Dumb Prof: *tries hard to overcome 4 arms* but there is no way to turn it off..... unless..... wait.... the river..... unless i drown it....

Me: Wah biangz, now then you think about it.... hurry up go and drown with it.... go go go!!!!! You die better than me and Mary Jane die rite..... we still need to confess our love for each other one leh.... aiyah, cant be bothered talk so long with u liao lah.... talk some more the thing sure explode one..... i go save mary jane and be hero liao.....

Dumb Prof: Wah lan, other movie hor, people will always say something emotional before the villian makes the sacrifice to save the world one leh..... how come you never one? *stares blankly as spiderman flies off to save mary jane*......

Me: Hiak hiak.... time to win over the damsel in distress....

Dumb Prof: wah lan..... why issit must i die..... stupid 4 arms.....

-end of story-

Somehow in movies hor, these people just seem to have something awesome to say..... those one-liners that are damn cheem and that will spark off some emotional outbreak in the movie.... and that will change the whole storyline and the good guys win again at the end of the day..... haha.....

I still like my Singlish version of spiderman..... maybe i should sell it to jack neo so that he can make a movie out of it again.... and as usual, get mark lee to sing the theme song for it, play it in all the MRT stations, make it sound terribly high-pitch and out of key..... these are like the essential tenets of success for a local movie i tell you....

btw, i haven watched that bai liu li bai thingy.... so i cant comment much..... =P

till then...

rovers FOC

Posted by dapaowang at 02:50 PM on July 16, 2004.

Spent the last 4 days at Rovers FOC..... It was FUN, FUN and FUN. The whole camp was not that fun lah.... but i guess my group managed to find pleasure out of the misery.... hahha.... cos we were just amusing ourselves throughout the camp (ok, maybe not during the first day when we were too shy.... haha).....

Well anyway our grp was called rhoenix and it was derived from the word phoenix.... with 5 pathetic freshies and 4 councillors..... haha..... we really had a lot of fun cos the freshies were a bunch of initially-shy people but turned out mad people..... the councillors were erm, shocked to say the least sometimes.... hahha...

Will update more later..... comp is cranky, dunno why....

Thailand

Posted by dapaowang at 11:44 PM on July 22, 2004.

Bangkok was fun..... we had a lot of fun shopping.......

Ma Bun Konk is heaven.... so many things there to buy....

Pratunam was boring.... wholesale center is not very useful when only 2 pple are walking ard...

Chatuchak also not that exciting... place was too damn hot and too many people there...... but the things they sell there are nevertheless interesting..... esp those second hand sneakers.....

Food in Thailand is pretty interesting.... lemon tea is extremely sweet and tastes a bit like tom yam soup..... their noodles soup is pretty nice...... just dun put too much chilli in it...... curry rice sucks...... chicken rice is decent..... fried noodles is okay, depending on where u buy it..... other stuff like food on the streets, i din dare try, but they sure look appetising.... i realise that they like to have this very gross smelling sauce..... some chilli that smells kinda sour..... well i conclude that thai food is either super sweet, super sour or super spicy.... haha.....

Bought a lot of stuff..... ard 7 tshirts, 1 shirt, 1 pants..... and jing bought me a lot of other stuff also.... thanks dear!!!! =) oh ya, i bought a watch also..... jing bought 3.... haha.....

ok that is more or less my thailand trip..... dun feel like writing everyday down.... so sianz....

shen dan jie

Posted by dapaowang at 12:31 AM on July 29, 2004.

I'm in love with this song by eason chan, called shen dan jie (merry christmas)..... its such a sad sad sad sad song.... somehow reflected some of my past christmas..... those kind that u feel all lonely and desolute and having nobody to spend it with......

I remember one particular christmas that was very miserable for me..... i think it was when i was 15 years old..... cos i happened to fail some course that i think i din do very well in (it was some red cross leader course).... and they sent the letter to my house on christmas eve i think...... it was pretty miserable...... everyone was like not at home and i was like sitting in front of the TV being miserable.... i din bother to go to the graduation ceremony of that course cos i din want to see my course-mates..... afraid that they would mock at me or something lah...... but well that christmas eve was kinda damn sian..... kinda inmature way of thinking when u look back at those days.... but then again, i was 15... so whatever lah.....

I kinda think that failure changed my attitude towards life...... i think i became mentally stronger after that failure cos i used to think i could never fail. Always thought that i would scrape thro with that glib tongue of mine and stuff..... but that was the first time i actually failed in something...... and failed miserably......

After that, i studied pretty hard and had very good results in sec 4..... then when i was in army, i always liked to remind myself about that failure whenever i was like going to give up during training...... i think it kinda reminds me that i should not give up so easily cos that was exactly what i did in that course back in sec 3..... so i always persevere when the going gets tough.......

Khoo Swee Chiow once said that scaling mountains is 99 per cent mental and 1 per cent physical..... he said, that 1 per cent will only get u to the base camp..... i used to think that was bull shit.... i mean, u of cos need to be fit to climb mountains rite? But sometimes when u look at it from another angle, it actually makes sense. Actually a lot of things in life is a lot mental than physical. I have a lot of frens who are more fit than me. THey run and swim a lot faster than me. But when it comes to trekking, they kinda remain damn slow while u see me ploughing up the slopes huffing and puffing. I believe its really mental strength that propels people upwards. I may not be the fittest athelete out there, but i believe that with perseverance, anyone can make it to the top of any mountain. But then of cos, it is always going to be better if u are fit and mentally strong.....

But despite all that, I do not display mental strength in all i do. I slack when i study. I give up when the going gets tough too. In fact i think i give up more than i persevere. So the above is all a load of bullshit....

The world is made up of contradictions.

So am I....

Posted by dapaowang at 03:24 AM on July 30, 2004.

My comp keeps jacking up.... the graphics are like a bit the siao.... ever since i re-formated my comp, this problem has appeared.... i dunno how to solve it....

Ok basically, the graphics tend to just hang for like 2 seconds during normal use.... like u can viewing a web page and u are scrolling down and the thing just dun move for 2 seconds....

Or you could be viewing a mpg, rm or avi clip and the graphics will just hang for like 2 seconds. The sound will kinda reverse itself and it will repeat what it just said 2 seconds ago.... so somehow the stuff i m watching always tend to be jerky...

Even as i m typing this blog now, the thing is also jacking up.... the words do not appear on the screen no matter how i tap on the alphabets on the keyboard..... and they only appear like 2 seconds later.....

damn computers......
