Saturdays have almost become like a routine for me... wake up in the morning... drag my fat ass to lecture only at break time... (of all days they put a lecture on a saturday morning) wah liew... sian... then after a quick lunch, its off to tuition at tampines where i get paid peanuts (according to some of my friends who gave tuition) to teach a primary school kid who makes my blood pressure burst like a gas pipe as easy as ABC... a guaranteed 2 hours of chest thumping at how kids nowadays don't give a damn to what their tutors have to say... ehhh, wait a second... i'm also like that during peng's army days leh... muahaha... okok, cannot blame them... now i know how peng felt back then... hehehe...
Today for a change, James drove us to coronation plaza for lunch because he wanted to show off his newly acquired licence and driving skills(got meh?) I also saw the bad side of singaporean drivers (not the first time anyway) and how they bully P-plate drivers... James was changing lane when this f***er sped up and refused to give way... there was quite a distance between the 2 when this f***er drove so near to our vehicle and honked like nobody's business... bloody hell... we werent in the slightest of fault yet he behaved as if we just robbed him of a million bucks... then at the traffic light junction, he was slightly behind us on our left and jasmine saw him giving us the dirty looks... i didnt notice at first until she told me but by then we had moved off... then he passed by us again... this time i had noticed him... there he was flailing his arms and i think, making (obscene) gestures... what the f***... i swear if i had a baseball bat, i would have pulled him out by his hair and clobbered his head bloody... what is it with these people anyway??!

During discussion at today's marketing class, James suddenly turned to one of the girls in our group and said this to her:" I wanna see your grapes..." What the f***... hahaha... did he really know what he was saying or not??! damn funny man... me and jasmine looked at each other in shock for a while, but blurted out laughing soon after... But i don't think he meant it one lah... must be too stressed out from the marketing report he volunteered to do on his own the night before... hehehe...
Uhh... yes... i'm still listening to fishy leong's song... havent grown stale yet... =P

Right now, i'm totally hooked on the song "Bu Xiang Shui"(loosely translated as "Don't feel like sleeping") by Fish Leong. Oddly enough, the song caught my attention only when the class 95fm frequency i was on got cut into by another station playing this particular song. It was a love-at-first-sight kind of thing really... hehe... Since then, i've been humming the tune from the chorus part to almost everyone i've met, asking them whether have they heard the song or not... cos' thats the only thing i remembered out of that song... and it has a really haunting and surreal sad touch to it... which explains my penchant for these types of songs, especially those by my fav Sarah McLachlan, Dido... to name a few... Rarely has anything good come out of chinese music for a long loonnngg time... people who know me well enough knows i seldom listen to chinese songs nowadays, cos' really its plain fcuked up... so why force myself to listen to them make noise (mind you, they're not singing leh...)? Believe me, I would rather pay a few bucks to go into the local zoo to hear ah meng fart (does she??!). It sounds stupid but you know my point...
Anyway, thanks to my brudder jizheng that i finally found this song after days of agony... gracias dude... its kinda like playing non stop for the past 3 hours already and i aint sick of it yet... probably won't fall out of taste with me, it's going to be in my all-time favourites list... my ratings? i thought i said already? hahaha... DON'T WAIT ANYMORE... GO BEG/STEAL/BORROW/BUY/DOWNLOAD... whatever it takes... 4.5 out of 5 stars!!!

Was doing the powerpoint slides for my marketing presentation when someone from my group suggested putting in our baby photos, cos' it kinda fits in with the case study of a childcare centre which we're doing on... so, there you go... it's a first... count yourself very the lucky that you've managed to see this elusive photo which i had to dig from all the dusty and yellow piles of photo albums... muahaha...
" Grrrr.... touch my balls and you DIE... "
Just to haolian a bit... all my group members say i looked the cutest among them... i have to agree with them... hahaha... no doubt about it... even my female lecturer say so... damnnit... i AM cute... but then again, look at how i've become the hideous monster (take it in any way you guys want to see it) i am today, i can only bask in the cuteness of yester years... awww...

Definitely one of my favourite... the F-15E Strike Eagle... the air display didn't disappoint... the aerodynamics of the plane was just awesome... don't know how to describe also... have to see to believe... but on another note, the Indian airforce suryakiran acrobatic team didn't live up to the hype... it was plain boring i nearly fell asleep even under the hot sun... hehehe... but then again its the first time they're performing outside of their own country... so.... no... NO EXCUSES... it was a shitty performance really... they should be banned lah...

Just came back from a friend's mum's wake... it was kinda sudden to receive an sms this morning to learn that his mum had just passed away. It kind of hit on you that life is just so unpredictable... you can be perfectly fine one moment but slump dead the next... and that is exactly what happened to his mum... you just can't tell what THE man above is thinking, don't you? Like pawns in this game of chess called life, it seems that everything on earth depends on how he wants to make his move... this is the life as we all know, yet we must live with it...
So, having said all that, it isn't too late to tell your parents how much you love and cherish them... though i know i'll most probably never do that... i might not show it openly but its in the little things i do... there are other ways to show that you still care about them... Don't hesitate, be upfront about it... In the words of William Hung, " I have no regrets at all... i already gave my best..."
And do take my advice seriously: people who devote more time to their religion than to their own parents... this is a bloody wake up call long overdue. Get your priorities right in life, the whole world does not revolve around religion alone, there IS more to life than religion... I myself have met people who cannot tell the difference between the perfect world and the REAL world, to that extent when it comes down to a discussion on an research topic in my business course, this fella interprets a theoretical example given in the book as something that would actually happen in the real world... in other words, they kinda see things the way they WANT TO see... they cannot seem to comprehend the fact that reality does appear to be VERY DIFFERENT from what they view it to be from the books... their definition of the word 'reality' is somewhat blurred here... and that really appalls me when he insisted on him being right about it when the others all round thought otherwise. If there is anything that he has succeeded in achieving, that is only to make us more confused... i'm starting to see some parallels here... hehehe...

Yes yes... make no mistake... must be him... if not then why would he be in the centre of the picture?

" The cup of life "
Today was my school's sports day... and like previous semesters, we had entered a team into the tournament hoping to taste some silver ware. We were not to be disappointed this time round, having missed out narrowly the last few semesters. After all, ours were the only team to have made it to the semis every semester. If that isn't good, then i seriously don't know what is... The route to glory was fraught with perils (???!! hahaha...) and opponents who had to resort to violence at the slightest provocation... actually this time round was much better than previous semesters... with the exception of a keeper who tried to kick my little brother when i knocked him down while challenging for a header. I did not react physically, i stood my ground and questioned him what in the hell was he trying to do... the poor f***er was lost for words while my team pulled me away... anyway, not a big issue... we exacted revenge on them which was the team who beat us last sem in the semis... sweet... And so we won the final match with a nerve wrecking penalty kick shootout, which was the only match in which we failed to score... ugly? i don't care... i went home happy with the cup and a 10 dollar swensen's voucher in my pocket. hehehe...
And also huh... why does all the 'masters' i go to for a quick fix on my battered body and legs love to trash talk so much??! cos today after the match i popped by this place adrian recommended (i met him by chance near the place i was going for treatment) he said it was different from the usual one i normally would see (who uses brute force)... this 'master' uses 'shiatsu' or pressure points to treat my ailments... true enough, i was impressed... after a few grabs on my nerves here and there (it was freakin' painful i almost ripped off the cushion of the armrest i was holding to) i could felt the change... my legs did get much better... whoa... powerr... but as i've said, this master also did not let me off... he tried to be funny by cracking a few jokes... super cold ones... and for a moment, i thought i was on taiwanese variety show GUESS GUESS GUESS... (-_-"")

"the peeps"
Steamboat in the afternoon was somehow rather weird... we initially thought of sitting down to whack whatever food we could lay our greedy hands for 4 hours straight... but it seems no one was really getting any bang for their buck... maybe with the exception of the ever hungry Doong... just look at the heaps of prawn shell on his table... hahaha... today was also graced by the presence of daniu, who seems to have disappeared for god-knows-how-long and suddenly he tells you that he's going over to australia to study... As usual, that is the kind of thing you would expect from DA man himself... hehe... And yeah... thanks for the present guys and gals... appreciate it... =)

I've just finished an episode of southpark... to all those who believe their religion is above everything else... u guys should download and see this particular episode: 712 - All about Mormons... To sum it all up, the many different religions you find nowadays ultimately preach self development for the good of society and most important of all, peace and harmony among humanity.
No religion should be placed higher than humanity himself, and to me, religion is only but a guiding principle on how you should live your life. What i can't stand is people proclaiming that their religion to be the only one true faith in this vast universe of ours..."Hello?! do you people own this entire world??!" okok... i'm talking about SOME christians here... I didn't say that all christians behave in that particular manner... Just who the heck are they to say that? God himself??! To these people, it seems that 'others' like us exist only to make up the numbers and of cause, they have the most enviable task to 'save' us from our 'wayward' and 'misguided' thoughts in the search for true faith. I simply cannot stomach this elitist attitude... it absolutely smacks of arrogance and contempt... the final straw came when someone said this to me... "If you were to die and find yourself in hell, just don't say there was never a religion named christianity..." Hell, i was incensed... it seriously made me wonder just what exactly the pastors in their church are teaching them... it was then that i found a new definition for the word 'terrorist'... harsh this might sound but it ain't far from the truth...
I could go on and on about the great religion debate but i know it will come to no end... however, bear in mind what i've just written is not intended to cause any distress of any form to anybody, in particular christians... there was never any conflicts to begin with and i would most certainly like to keep it that way, as long as you do not preach your religion to me... you stay on your side of the fence, and i stay on mine... everyone's living happily under the big blue sky we all share... To end it all off, i share with you this conversation taken from the southpark clip itself...
"... I have a great life, a great family... the truth is, i don't care if they made it (the religion) all up, because what churches teach now is loving your family... being nice and helping people. And even though all the people... think that this is stupid, i still believed in it. All i ever did was to be your friend but you are so high and mighty that you couldn't look past my religion and just be my friend back... You've got a lot of growing up to do, buddy. Suck my balls..."
How's that for the last liner? kick ass...

As i dragged my heavy feet towards bedok library to do some work for my assignment, i actually wanted to pop by Murugam sports at bedok interchange to buy a chance to strike it rich for the upcoming hongbao toto draw one... (the papers ran an article on them being one of the hotspots for hitting the jackpot) Hahaha... but then again... just look at the damn queue... you guys should be there to see for youself... it was as if hello kitty fever just made another comeback in singapore. It was just as, if not worse than that... and it totally put me off the idea of queuing up since i figured it would take me around 2 hours just to get to the store front... So, there you go... not even a ghost of a chance now... yeah it sucks...

Its half past eleven... i was going home from my supper at the nearby prata shop... "Hey! Isn't that Uncle Ronald?"
From the back, Uncle Ronald cuts a forlorn figure... as if he's waiting for someone... I slowly crept behind him and tapped him on the shoulder...
I asked him:"Eh uncle Ronald ah, you've been waiting under the rain and sun for 3 consecutive days leh... ler buay sian ah?" Uncle Ronald didn't utter a word... he just flashed me his signature megawatt smile... With that i left him alone there... its getting late... i'll see him again tomorrow morning...
I thought it was really funny some idiot would actually carry Uncle Ronald from the nearby MacDonald's to the traffic junction just below my place... be it merely just for advertising or a prank (which i dun think so...) i still think its worth me making the effort to stand in the middle of the road (to the ridicule of some pedestrians) and taking a photo of it... hahaha... Somehow i feel quite guilty for putting Uncle Ronald in some rather compromising positions in the past... i really hope he forgives me this time... at least these photos are decent right??! hahaha....
Today a friend of mine mentioned to me that whenever she's feeling stressed out from all the studying in australia, she would log on to the net to read my blog... Now, thats the biggest compliment anyone can give me... obviously i'm doing something right here... to be able to let people have a good laugh over the things i wrote... the feeling's indescribeable... this is quite like the way i live my life... you see... i always believe that it is better to give than to receive... nothing beats being able to put a smile on people's face... don't you agree?

Morbid Kiat
Bloody weird wound huh (pun fully intended here) ... this is my knee cap after it took a beating from the impact as a result from me attempting an e-brake on a rainy day as part of the training programme... i guess i screwed up there... jammed da bloody brakes too hard... it didn't helped that my bike was f***ed up. Just before i begin the run up, the engine died on me... cos there's not enough fuel left in the tank to power the bike... i suppose they didnt top up the dot 3 fuel on the brakes as well... hahaha... dammnit... but luckily they passed me at the end of the day, which i don't think they did it out of sympathy... it was well worth the pain (what am i talking here? am i sick or what??!) Looking back... it was quite scary actually... the moment of impact landing on the tarmac and kerb which is reinforced thank goodness by rubber tires... Wham! right under the instructor's nose... no serious shit though... escaped with a few cuts, slight limp in my right leg, the 2 brake light- like wounds and a ripped pair of giordano jeans... hurhurhur...
And yeah just caught american idol 3 on tv just now... hell it was freaking funny... provided me tonnes of laughter when i was on the way home from tuition and then in the comfort of my living room... the audition part is always the most hilarious of all... who would ever forget the likes of edgar nova singing enrique iglesias' 'can't escape my love'? hahaha.... classic!!! This season we have william hung shakin' his bons bons a la ricky martin!!! fcuk it was hella funny... with his very own slick(y) ricky moves... hahaha... which reminds me, he looks so much like the chinese guy at 'sheely wok' in southpark!!! hahaha... you can't really blame trey parker and matt stone if every chinese in the US of A talks like william hung does... muahahaha... wicked!

Its already sunday... 4th day of the chinese lunar new year... sheesh it seems to pass by rather quickly this year... Stayed at home fixing up my computer after it was attacked by the blasterworm virus... damn i must say it was freaking irritating with the virus auto rebooting your computer as and when without warning... it was like you're swimming and then some asshole suddenly pulled out the tap from beneath you and drained out all the water... what the f*** ... hahaha... you know what i'm saying... Looking back on the last few days, it was the same old stuff being replayed over and over again... eat, sleep, play, gamble,cheat my little cousins' money and facing the never ending barrage of questions from relatives... not that it gets on my nerves... i know they meant well but somehow i get the feeling they are still treating me as the lil' ah kiat from when i was still a kid... hahaha...
Haiii... as i look out my window, the rain is still pouring since this afternoon... i've already cancelled tomorrow's soccer session due to poor response... so that leaves me pretty much nothing to do tomorrow... and school will reopen again on monday... its the second start of another new semester... of cos the first didn't really start in my case... hahaha... time to shift up into a higher gear... and let's not hope i'll fall into the sea as what mahatir would say... heh... sly old fox...
