Been damn busy.... working and trying to earn some money.

Will update more ASAP.

=|

Anyway the job that i have at the moment is the dumbest job on earth. All that i am required to do is sit at some carnival and stone and solve any problems or complaints that the stall holders have....

Most of the time, there are no problems at all lah.... except the very often power trip which i cant do much to help except check the junction box and stuff..... and then any problem just call my boss and ask him how. super duh...

I mean, some pple may say its easy money, sit there do nothing and earn money. But trust me, its the worst job i have ever done. You feel totally useless, worthless and it is absolutely boring sitting there and waiting for time to pass. Every minute is like an hour..... walking ard does not help to ease the boredom that much lah, but oh well..... i walk the taka area until i super sian now liaoz....

I really wish i have something to do there.... like today, my boss asked me to help him carry table.... that was the only constrcutive thing i did all day.... imagine that... from 11am to 10pm.... only one constructive thing done!! what contribution am i making to society and the capitalistic structure?

Well anyway tml is another day of stoning..... am thinking hard of what i can do there..... maybe read a book or something.... i flipped thro the new paper at least twice today, reading every article more than once....

Life is full of contradictions...

so am I

I just experienced something yesterday that is immensely powerful.

So powerful it sent me to tears. I haven really teared in a long time anyway.....

The thing is love.

I believe in love.

Trust me, you should too.......

Congrats to my sis and my bro-in-law.

May they be forever so in love.

The Village is i dare say, the best movie i have watched this year...

I wun say its damn exciting or what la, i think spiderman 2 is much better entertainment, but i must say the story and the plot of the village is a work of absolute brilliance.... simply brilliant.... i think brilliant is not even enough to describe it.... its like excruciating brilliant.... haha......

I shall not give away the plot or else pple who have not watched it will watch the movie with a different perspective if they know abt it..

I would definetely recommend this movie to everyone..... especially, erm highly intellectual beings like me.... *coughs*... haha.....

But i do warn u that it can get boring in the middle..... when they talk and talk and u start wondering when the action is ever going to start (as in when the monsters are coming to kill everyone and cause a massacre).....

My poor jing fell asleep watching it halfway.... felt a bit guilty for dragging her along to watch the movie with me at that moment.... but when the movie ended, my feeling was like, argh, wat the heck man, how can anyone not enjoy the movie? haha....

Well anyway i got myself a new mp3 player.... a samsung one.... my fren got it free when he bought a printer and he sold it to me at 70% of the market price...... its not that bad la, 128mb, can use as thumb drive and plus voice recording.... but one ultra big minus point is that it does not have FM tuner.... haiz.... but well, i guess i can survive without a radio lah huh.......

But who call me super niao, dun wan to get a better one... but those with 256mb and radio is damn ex loh.... i cant afford a 300 plus 400 dollars piece of crap for my own enjoyment..... so i ended up paying 140 bucks for that slightly inferior thing.... but oh well, who cares.... i have a mp3 player now and i shall listen to it everywhere i go!!!! (yeah rite).......

Life is starting to get really stressful..... pple in honours year all seem to look so damn smart.... or issit i look stupid? argh, whatever la.... time to go read my readings liao... so many, how to finish? siao one leh those lecturers..... haiz....

=)

by the way, happy friday the 13th everyone..... may bad luck be bestowed upon all of you.....

=)

I shall blog today since i have some inspiration..... been having bloggers block the past few weeks...

Well anyway today i am going to tok about steven lim. I hereby declare him the grossest guy in the whole of singapore. For more info, go to www.stevenlim.net

For those of you who sadly missed his excellent performance on national day's singapore idol (like me), fret not cos u can even download some of his mp3 files from his website.....

There is an mp3 of she bangs (which is the song i heard he sang during the auditions)..... and he ends it all with a mighty shout of "steven lim bangs!!!"....

That mp3 made me flip.... and it almost corrupted my computer cos my speaker almost broke down from playing the horrible sounds.

Jing says that Steven Lim is an attention-seeking low self-confidence idiot. I think she is right. I was pretty tempted to send him some hate mail, like telling him to get a life and stop being an idiot and stuff and also to stop showing off his small penis that is hiden behind a yellow speedo underwear... but jing told me not to. cos by doing so, i was falling into his trap.... cos all he wanted was attention.... and he is so desperate for it that he will take both positive and negative attention. So everyone should just ignore him!! dun let his evil plot succeed.... hahahah....

But wait, by writing about him on my blog, actually he has also succeeded la... cos he is now well known and his presence is being publicised all over to my readers..... hmm.... maybe i should delete this entry.... haha... ok la, give him chance la, dun say never.....

And one more thing, i went to download his version of power station's ming tian de ming tian de ming tian.... and it was like.... woo hoo.... i have never heard a worse version than that.... in fact, the only person i know who can sing worse than him is one of those 4 boys from F4.... dunno which one la..... he was practically howling like a mad dog at the end when there was this part that required a high note..... i thot the werewolf was reborn once again, until the windows media player decided to give me a break by hanging....

And yes my windows media player is hanging on me all the time.... i dunno why.... i hate it.... i hate all computer problems.... they can all go suck my big fat balls.....

talking about big fat balls, I think i m getting fatter...... yeah... affirmative.... sigh....

Its time to go read my readings for now..... in the meantime, do give steven lim more support by visiting his website.... download his mp3 files man!!! Bound to give u an orgasm.... yyyeeeee hhhhhaaaaaaaa.......

=)

love your imperfections because they are the reason you are human.

got this quote from kossy's blog..... how very true......

Writer's block...

nothing new.....

=)

I dreamt that me and my army frens went out.... and only one of them could drive. We stopped at some place and waited for one fren to go get something. Being the extreme itchy hand, and basically cos i just got my licence, i climbed into the car and started to drive it. But somehow or rather, without even touching the hand brake, the car just started to go forward.... and it just kept rolling down slope no matter how much i stepped on the brakes. I distinctively rememeber though that the hand brake of that car was on the floor board (like my father's car), and not on the side of the driver. So i was pretty bemused about how the car could move even though i never even released the hand brake. But anyway the car just got nearer and nearer to the car in front and i was just about to bang it, so i just swerved the damn steering wheel and luckily it shaved the car in front and did a 90 degrees turn and somehow evaded the car in front and stopped nicely in a parking lot. That was then that i felt the brakes work and i finally released the hand brake when it stopped (dun ask me why i did that.... its a dream for goodness sake).... so my army frens all ran up to me and started scolding me about how close i was to banging the car in front and i was like telling them, wah lao, relac i know what i am doing ok.... when the actual fact was, i din know wat i was doing..... so we ended up arguing and arguing..... then somehow my father came and drove the car away.

After that, i suddenly found myself in some sort of race. The race was basically one in which the guys had to race against the women. The women started first and i could see them ahead of me. But as i ran and ran, the women started to disappear into a pool of water (or rather a flood on the streets).... so they started swimming la.... then somehow or rather, i managed to get hold of some device that i could sit on and whiz my way down the flood.... so i sat on the thing and overtook all the women who were swimming. Then after that, I reached a point where there was no water and i had to run to get to the end-point of the race. So i started running like mad but as usual, in a dream, whenever u try to run, u dun seem to be able to run at all. Your movements seem so restrained as if u just cant seem to get into stride. I guess its because i m sleeping.... duh.... but well anyway i was running with this guy i din really like... i dunno who he is, cos never see his face but all i know is i was running with someone i din like. Then that person was kinda damn irritating and kept talking nonsense to me and i was pretty tempted to punch him up and ask him to shut up. But somehow i tried to tell myself not to cos somehow i knew that getting to the end point depended on him. Anyway we ended up running in some housing estate...... and then i somehow passed by some senior citizen corner and somehow or rather i started watching some video of some sort..... i m not too sure if it was a senior citizen corner but i m sure it was at the void deck of a HDB flat. So anyway i decided to start running again, and as usual i was very frustrated cos my running was those kind that was very restrained one..... i kept asking myself how come i just cant seem to run like normal..... so i kept running and running, until one stage i had to push myself against railings to propel myself forward... and i ran and ran....

then i woke up and realised that maybe its time to start running cos i m freaking late for school......

duh...

Read this article on the Straits Times today.

THE Social Development Unit (SDU) has shed its stigma, becoming a more popular choice for those seeking marriage.

The matchmaking service for university graduates married off 4,050 of its 26,000 members last year, a 45 per cent jump from 1999's 2,789, despite fewer marriages at a national level.

SDU says it averaged about 1,000 members getting married annually in the first 10 years after its founding in 1984. In the next 10 years, that number rose to about 2,400 members getting hitched every year.

Some 34,000 members have found mates since its inception, with last year's being the bumper crop.

Not only is it finding more success in making matches, its activities have also become more popular, especially with new events like speed dating.

In the last five years, there has been a consistent 20 per cent increase in the number of new members who participate in events, compared with before.

On average, about 2,000 members out of a base of about 9,000 new members sign up for activities each year, compared to about 1,000 out of a similar base in the past.

People are more open-minded now about the SDU than they were 15 years ago, said the unit's director, Mrs Tan-Huang Shuo Mei.

Another change over the years has been that men, who traditionally prefer to marry down, are now more willing to marry women who are their academic and career equals, according to Mrs Tan-Huang.

'The new expectations gap that has surfaced over the years is no longer the issue of educational qualifications,' she said.

Rather, it is that men still expect their wives to fulfil the traditional roles of a wife and mother, even if they have careers, whereas women expect men to share domestic duties.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong noted in his first National Day Rally speech on Sunday that the nation's singles can afford to be more realistic and accommodating in their expectations.

Many are still finicky.

One man refused to meet a woman just one centimetre short of 160cm, the ideal height he had specified, even though she met all his other criteria.

Another woman refused to go out a second time with a man who did not dish food onto her plate during their first - and only - dinner date.

Yet another average-looking professional man in his 40s presented a long list of requirements that included 'young, cute, feminine and fair'.

So far, the SDU has yet to find him someone who matches up.

An attractive woman in her 20s who signed up for SDU's computer matchmaking service repeatedly palmed off her spurned suitors to her friends, some of whom married the 'rejects'.

Now in her 30s and still single, she finally admitted to an SDU adviser that with hindsight, 'the guys whom she felt were not good enough for her actually made very good husbands and fathers'.

Mrs Tan-Huang says it is especially worrying when the objections are as superficial as women baulking at men who slurp their soup, or men who insist on 'sweet young things'.

Referring to similar SDU anecdotes that included a man who rejected a women because of her short-sightedness, the Prime Minister had said such singles needed to 'be realistic and accommodating'.

Thankfully, most people can be counselled to adjust their expectations, Mrs Tan-Huang said, taking heart that at least nowadays, people are more forthcoming.

A private matchmaker, Madam Chin Lai Yin, 54, who founded Love Match Consultancy 31 years ago, hopes to boost her current 5,000 membership because 'the Government is encouraging young people to use such services'.

More than physical attributes, she says her clients worry that they cannot afford a home or support children. Fear of divorce also keeps some from getting married.

She points out that she can only advise them: 'You must have courage and look at things optimistically. Only then will you get what you wish for.'


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

I shall comment more tonight. I cant be bothered to now.

I think SDU is erm.... well, not much views available now actually....

I just think that the govt is kinda like objectifying this whole notion of love. It's like people get married cos they are in love..... NOT COS THE GOVT WANT THEM TO HAVE BABIES or whatever crap reason that the govt can come up with......

So stop telling people to lower their expectations and just faster give birth for goodness sake.... it does not work this way ok my dear govt.....

I suddenly have this inspirational idea......

Kossy said b4: We must not be afraid to be a sign of contradiction to the world. This is a quote from Mother Theresa.

A piece of American history: in 1776, america was founded..... torn between whether to go to war with england or not to, the founding fathers were having a heated argument about what to do. And all of a sudden, Benjamin Franklin came into the room and suggested that they should agree on both sides. He suggested going to war with England and protesting against it at the same time. In this way, it would make not make Americans look like they were a bunch of pussies who were scared, nor a bunch of rednecks who just wanted war and violence and appeared cold-blooded. That was called: Having your cake and eating it too.

In case u wondering how come i knew all these, well actually i dun even know if this is true.... all that i said above is actually all watched from south park.... hahha..... yeah south park rules.....

But anyway, the United states of America was founded on the grounds to protest as well as the grounds to go to war to defend its rights. Doesnt this make the founding of America appear like a contradiction?

So if we were to corelate the mother theresa quote above, it shows that America was probably the first country to subscribe to this mother theresa quote.... cos they were the first and biggest contradiction there ever was...... (even though, till today they appear to be also a big contradiction.... if u watched michael moore's shows, u might agree with this).....

Therefore, mother theresa rules.....

even though she appeared to apply this sentence in a different context, but it nevertheless bears some truth in explaining certain phenomenons in this screwed-up world we live in.

Therefore, never be afraid to be a big contradiction..... go out and say some things and do them some other way..... u will be a huge success!!!! haa.... yeah rite..... this is more like being a liar or hypocritical to others....

whatever......

complain time

Liverpool lost again....

4 points out of a possible 9 is not a good start to the season.

rafael needs time. I think he knows that. luis garcia and xavi alonso look promising, but they definetely need more time to gel into the side. It's time for alonso to replace hamann. He's getting on in years. Do the team a favour........

The defence needs some strengthening. Carragher has been doing good.

Liverpool needs time.

I have faith in them.

Not now, but give them another 2 months or so, we will have a much better team....

Hope and pray

Ever felt you were a burden to the other people in your life?

whatever we do, we will always be some form of burden. unless u dunno a single person on earth.

Relationships are always reciprocal. Therefore there are always expectations. Lecturers have expectations of students. Friends expect their friends to do certain things. Couples expect committment. Parents expect children to fufill their responsibilities and vice versa.

Once a social relation is established, there is always going to be expectations. Therefore we always become burdens. Mental burdens. Physical burdens to some. You do things to please others. You do things to please yourself so that u can be better conditioned to face the world and please other people again. It's like a chain that never ends.

That's why expectations convert to burdens. We all carry a social and personal burden. We are all burdens to others and ourselves.

Too radical a way of looking at this?

Views differ.

Peggy Teo says in this post modern society, we celebrate diversity. We are unique. thats why the world turns.

Without differences, the world will never function.

Imagine a homogenous world.

I cant.

Can U?
