Tonnes of movies will be released in the second half of 2009, which has already begun with the advent of June. Of all of the new films, there is one which I will definitely catch. The one and only one.





This is one epic movie and I love epic movies with lots and lots of action even if there are no relevant plot. The sinking of a carrier strike fleet in the Pacific has got to be one of the most epic scene ever created in a movie. That means I gotta watch it no matter what. And then there is also Megan Fox which makes this show even more worth watching. But nope, although the epic + Megan Fox combo is hot, it is not enough to make this the one and only one film which I will watch.





Iron Man 2. Part 1 was nice and I am looking forward to see what the next installment has in store for me but missing it doesn't really matter either.





Girls (and some boys) try to control your emotions a little. I am not exactly a big fan of it but I know many out there are so I just want to tell all the fanatics out there that yes, your second episode of Twilight is coming. Brace yourselves for all the vampiric action. I will be preparing my garlic and holy water at home.





Right. Harry Potface - Potter I mean. As with all movies which were adapted from novels, this ongoing wizarding series is way better in its paperback edition. Too much content has been shaved just so to make the movie of an acceptable duration and that means there are many abrupt scenes in the show. If you have read the book (like me), you would probably be able to catch what is going on in the show. Otherwise, you might be left wondering how the heck did this scene suddenly lead to the next. (Oh, its a Harry Potter film. It has to be MAGIC!) Anyway, for all the fans out there, time to take out your Hogwarts cloak and hat and prepare for the gala premiere of the show where wizards wannabes will gather at certain cinemas to witness the magic - AGAIN.





With all the superheroes flicks coming out in recent years, its about time the most super of all superheroes gets his time on the silver screen! Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you CAPTAIN AMERICA! And no. I am not being bias. Really. My instincts tells me that this will be a very good show. In dark times like this, there is only one person we can count on to bring us salvation. And that one person is CAPTAIN OBAMERICA! This is the ONE AND ONLY ONE film which I will watch NO MATTER WHAT --- in 2011 that is. Hehehe...





Now this is one refreshing movie. I don't really know what it is about but it gives me the impression that it is going to be something like Metal Gear Solid 3 (my favourite game) and this unidentified hot female featured in the poster might be someone like The Boss (my favourite character). Then again, it might be better for me to not bet on it.





Now now this seems to be a promising horror film and I totally dig horror films. But looks can be deceiving, as in the case of Cloverfield and The Day the Earth Stood Still and The Happening and The Village. Ah never mind. Even if I don't catch it in theatres, there are many other channels I can watch it on.





The Final Destination. Isn't it interesting to see how many different ways a person can die in? Maybe its just me. Anyway, the Final Destination series is already getting somewhat moldy. Different groups of people dying in different ways because they escaped from death in different ways at the beginning of the show for 3 times. The temptation of the new methods of dying in this new installment might be the only thing to tickle my interest but I think I will pass if I were to end up laughing like a hyena while watching this show.



Now, the time has come to unveil the ONE AND ONLY ONE movie which I will want to watch this year! The one movie which has truly caught my imagination. I give to you people:














TAMAGOTCHI THE MOVIE



This is simply too wonderful. No words can describe the amount of happiness which flooded me when I saw the poster for this movie. Its like a dream come true for me! Embrace yourself once again in the land of fantasies where you will never grow old and die. Where you won't have to worry about the difficulties of life. Where all you need to do is just feed your tamagotchi, play with it and clean its shit and remember to turn off the lights for it too when it sleeps.

Relive your happy moments once more. Watch Tamagotchi The Movie!

Bald is the new sex appeal factor.

One and a half months of short-lived flings finally ended tonight.

One. Two. Three. And almost four. But enough is enough. Time to settle down. Seriously, I have to practice more self-discipline in future to avoid depleting what little I have left of my financial freedom. The stupid thing I did in just a span of 40 odd days!

"A customer, well-taken care of, can be worth more than $10,000 worth of advertisement."

This could be the beginning of it all but the beginning will end with an ending. Instead of thinking about the end, one should look forward to the middle. But being the middleman is very tiring, especially when you need to keep the front and the end in balance. Then again, its the middleman's job to ensure that the beginning begins smoothly and the end never comes, or at least end peacefully. Furthermore, whatever ends will begin again and whatever begins will end again too. It is a never-ending cycle of beginnings and endings, inceptions and cessations, start and stop, commencement and termination.

Victory and defeat. Honor and dishonor. Life and death. Each goes hand in hand.

Opportunities await.

Find the Holy One. Kill her?

I took half day off today to revise for my upcoming Japanese exam. I found out that 2 weeks of neglecting my Japanese revisions have reverted me to one and a half years ago when I am still a standard Singaporean student proficient in English and Mother Tongue only. I really need to practice more. Maybe I should start to randomly blurt out Japanese terms and phrases during work or maybe I should defect over to the Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation who is just our next door neighbor.

Studying at this familiar late hour on the familiar kitchen table in the familiar kitchen... it reminds me of the time when I was mugging back then. There was one night when I even had a showdown with this dangerous looking unidentified green insect which had the audacity to invade my studying space. Of course, it died a miserable death in the end, thanks to yours truly and a bunch of rolled-up newspapers. Looking out the kitchen window, something else came to mind. I used to do that every night in the past. Not anymore.

Enough with the reminiscing part. The important thing now is for me to piece together a reasonably long Japanese composition for submission tomorrow. But I really have no idea on what to write. I wished my sensei had given us a topic instead of giving us a free essay. I could crap again but it would be meaningless. I know. I will just cut away the bottom half of my homework which contains the composition part and tell sensei tomorrow that he didn't gave me a complete set.

Nobel Prize for the shittiest excuse? Nah. I am pretty sure someone out there can do better than me.

got abruptly woken up in the wee hours of the day. and really abruptly. its like you were driving on the road and listening to Me so Horny by 2 live crew when suddenly a T80 main battle tank just crash into you at break neck speed from the side, forcefully removing you from your manly existence in this world. your soul ripped apart from your flesh in a flash - that kind of abruptly.

jin at the wheel of his GTR-34 listening to 2 Live Crew: I am so horny... i wont tell your mama if you dont tell your dad... i know he'll be disgusted if he sees your pussy busted..... I am like a dog in the heat a freak without warning..... i have an appetite for sex coz me so horny..... horny horny horny.... AHHHH where the fuck did this soviet tank come from?!

JI BAH BOOOOOOOMMM

st peter talking to jin at the pearly gates: my child, what were you thinking of before your untimely death?

jin: me so horny.

st peter: YOU ARE GOING TO HELL!!!

"Show some respect."

Ha. What a joke. Who are you to tell me that? Do you even understand the meaning of that statement? And I really must thank you for telling me that in front of everybody. I appreciate the free publicity. So you feel that I haven't been showing you respect? Let me tell you this, you are in no position to talk about respect with me, sucker.

"Gave you too much freedom."

Wow. So that made me into a rebellious person who don't know how to show any respect? For goodness sake, stop using euphemism such as this to delude yourself. I am impressed that you have the cheek to even mention that. How hypocritical. The fact is you are too busy with your own stuff that you don't have time for me. You don't even know what I do everyday.

Whatever you tell me, I complied. I behaved myself and didn't gave you any unnecessary trouble. It doesn't matter that you don't have time for me. After all, I don't expect you to babysit me, I am old enough to look after and think for myself. Today was a complete insult to me. I am offended.

If you don't like me, tell me straight to my face. I will just do my part and nothing more. Then when the time comes, I will break all ties with you. Simple. If you happen to chance upon this blog, I have something I want to tell you.

Fuck you.

An elderly couple wanted to go for a morning walk on top of the hills so they woke up early one morning and took a bus to the hilltop station. A few moments after they alighted at their destination, a boulder came thundering down the slope and crashed into the bus, smashing it into smithereens. There were no survivors.

"If only we didn't got down," said the elderly woman.

Usually, people will be thanking the heavens for their good luck that they got off the bus and managed to survive. Why then is the elderly woman thinking the opposite? It is simple. If the elderly couple hadn't got off, the bus would be able to drive on continuously and missed the crashing boulder.

We should always be mindful of others when something happen and not simply just think only of ourselves. Get out of our own world and empathize with those that are in trouble. Bring out the kindness in you. Show the world that the Singaporean Altruism is real.

During the Ancestral Worshiping Festival, it is common for chinese folks like my family to burn joss paper for our departed ancestors. The joss papers always come in a tightly-bundled stack and we will usually twist and turn the stack to fan out the individual joss paper. This makes it easier for us to pick out the joss paper to roll and twirl them into a cylindrical-like shape, something like this:











For this year's festival, I didn't really helped to do much rolling and folding of the joss papers. Maybe that is why I have to turn and twist this huge pile of letters, which has to be sent to our customers, the other day to fan the individual pieces out for easy slotting into the envelopes.




















Bah. Whatever.

Raindrops keep falling on my umbrella! Ella ella eh eh eh falling on my umbrella~

The almanac predicted that I will have good fortune streak in this year of the Ox. If it is true, Fortune probably haven't located me yet. However, from the looks of it, I am pretty sure it had already missed me. I made several unsound decisions regarding financial expenses recently and I am not sure what to make of these expenses. Justified? Retail therapy? Or simply just pure wastage?

Now that I think back, I really should have controlled my emotions better. Of course, if only I had. I realized sometimes, people need to go through one big circle before reaching at the same conclusion, which he could have reach too by simply taking the direct path that was laid out in front of him initially.

My best buddy is now in the Land of the Rising Sun, enjoying his 2 weeks long vacation.

DAMN YOU BITCH! I WANT MY VACATION TOO!

*Ahem* Don't mind me.

Oh well. Life is still pretty much the routine home-work-home-work-home, 5 days a week for me. I really do not agree with the idea of trading time, MOST of our time in fact, for money. This is a FREE WORLD! We should not be slogging our asses off just so our employer can function and prosper! Furthermore, slogging our anuses off may not necessarily guarantee us equivalent compensation in return. Those who do get astronomical salaries most probably do so only after years of slogging for the company. But comparing what they have to sacrifice in return, the salary suddenly don't seem so astronomical anymore: countless hours of work (practically half their life or even more), endless meetings to attend, infinitely many brainstorming to come up with new policies, tonnes upon tonnes of responsibilities, endless flow of decisions to make (making a bad one might earn you a vacation, permanently) and ultimately, stress, stress and more stress.

Think again. Do you really want to waste your precious life away on this thing called work? I seriously believe all of us deserve better. I have the perfect solution to this. One which will relieve us of the trials and tribulations of life and solve all our financial issues at the same time as well. Death. If you are dead, you won't have to worry about anything anymore. So the next time when you feel that you would be better off dead, you are most probably right. So don't hesitate to slit your own throat or gulp down that bottle of bleach. After all, we only get to die once. No big deal. But before anyone of you get the idea of STOMP-ing my blog for advocating suicide or worst, report my blog to the Police (which would be myself), I have to make it clear that I am not encouraging people to commit suicide. I am just blogging a brainless entry on a sun-less night.

But, what if there are really people who commit suicide after reading my blog tonight?
Rest in peace then.

And for that person who is enjoying himself there, don't forget to bring back some presents. I am expecting my Pikachu hoodie.

God bless America.

Ahhh!!!!

Money money money! I seem to be running out of cash all the time and I am getting increasingly nearer to becoming a bankrupt! My Noble $2 Chicken Rice Operation is a really effective money saving scheme but eating 10 packets of it every week is seriously no joke. Remember how we use to count ourselves lucky for not being enlisted into Commandos training? My Chicken Rice Operation is equally, if not, tougher than the Men of Steel with the Crimson Beret.

Two packets (one for breakfast and lunch) for Monday is cool, the Chicken Rice tastes fantastic. Two packets for Tuesday and you start to feel so-so but the Chicken Rice is still edible. Two more for Wednesday and you feel like you are in deja vu, wondering what you have been eating for the past two days. Come Thursday you will start to doubt your memory and wonder if your taste buds have been programmed by default to taste chicken rice only. Another two more for the next day and you wished you NEVER thank god for Friday. Come next Monday, you will be on your way to the hospital for gastric lavage.

If you are strong enough to endure through this operation for 3 weeks, you will contract Avian Flu and die. Only in very rare cases will there be people who can last more than 3 weeks; these people are usually abnormal and they are most probably on their way to evolving into a Chickman species. I have never actually seen one before but hey, the world is big and there are infinite possibilities. Do let me know if anyone of you ever witness this Chickman species.

And no, don't look at me. No doubt I may be the creator of this Noble Operation but even the great I can only last through 2 weeks tops. I wonder if there are any better ways to save money. Perhaps I should try eating French Loaves instead! I might be able to evolve into a Frenchman!!! On second thought, I think I am fine the way I am.

I have been chewing my food with the right side of my mouth for the past week because this homeless ulcer from somewhere decided to set up its humble abode inside my left mouth. Although the ulcer is disappearing, my right side has been sore with all the extra chewing that it seems to be growing another ulcer again. Never mind.

For lack of better things to do on a Sunday night, I decided to create this hypothetical poll because I am very curious to know what others will do if something like this happened to them. Here goes.

Suppose one day your wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend were to cheat/intend to cheat/almost cheat/conspiring to cheat on you irregardless of whatever reasons he/she might have, would you rather he/she tell you the truth? Would you be willing to sit down and listen to his explanation before deciding what to do, be it to go seperate ways or continue to move on with a renewed pledge of love?

OR

Would you prefer him/her to lie to you and deceive you so that you can continue to believe erroneously that you are the one and only in his/her life? As long as he/she continues to be together with you, you can forsake the truth and live in your delusional beliefs.

OR

You are a bitch/bastard as well who have been two timing your wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend all these times when you are together too.

Right. The question have been asked and the floor is now yours. Let me know what you guys think. By the way, you can only vote once so please vote carefully.

Truth or Lie?
	Come clean with me and I might be benevolent.
	Keep me in the dark so that I can continue to remain happy.
	It doesn't matter. I am doing the same too!

Nothing on Earth can quantify the amount of frustration in me now. So there is no point talking too much about it. Just know that I am V-e-r-y angry.

Grrrr!

Today's Japanese test was a piece of cake. Really. I chomped it up with but a mere two chews. I will be advancing to the next level soon. And that means I need to pay the fees for the next level too! Its a $267.50 bill mind you. But never mind. This is a self-investment. Like someone great who told my 7 months long sleeping buddy (his my camp mate. CAMP MATE!) "When you are young, try to learn as much as possible for you will never know when the skills you have mastered could aid you in future one day."

I have to second that. It makes perfect sense. I might end up working for the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. Or becoming the Japanese voice actor for Pikachu in Pokemon God-knows-what-version. Or a Tako Pachi vendor in Tokyo Park. Or a Ninja! Samurai! Bushido Warrior! Pornstar! Hard --- what? Never mind. The point is it will be useful to invest in yourself and learn new stuff so as to differentiate yourself from the 6,769,999,999 (six billion seven hundred and sixty nine million nine hundred and ninety nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine) other Earthlings.

Just to quote from a vaguely familiar source - Live as if you are going to die tomorrow. Learn as if tomorrow never comes. Take note of the "if"s.

Oh. Actually, one probable and realistic use which I have for my knowledge of the Japanese language now is to get a Japanese girlfriend! My very own かのじょ. And then I will go 楽しいですよ! Who knows we might even have キンキ sex. a-ha a-ha a-ha a-ha a-ha a-ha a-ha a-ha a-ha a-ha a-ha a-ha HA-CHOOO

no. I am not grinning at my own post like some retarded kid. really. just an innocent sneeze. *snorts*

Its been awhile since I woke up feeling good - a deviation from the norm where I will dread to open my eyes in the morning, cursing at the notion of having to work. I went to bathe happily. I changed into my working attire happily. I went out of the house happily. I bought my usual chicken rice happily. I walked to the MRT station happily. Everything was happy. It is like a special day where you feel that everything is simply wonderful. I even had a pleasant surprise towards the end of the day!

As the final few rays of the setting sun hit the cascading terrace of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, another day of work has come to an end yet again. But this is also yet another prologue to a new day of work tomorrow. Working, working and working still. At least my job now is a little livelier in this never-ending cycle of labor.

The paradox of loving and hating someone at the same time is most... incomprehensible.

Too much have been said and done.
Never mind, i will be fine on my own.

DO YOU WANT TO SEE MY DIE SO BADLY!!!!!!!



I ended up watching COMING SOON instead! It is a new Thai horror film which revolves around this cursed movie which brings death to anyone who watched it. The victim do not need to watch the whole film... he just need to watch this particular scene in it. And he will D-I-E.

Initially, I wanted to watch at Plaza Sing because they have this supposedly haunted theatre there and I thought it will be more thrilling, especially since I am watching alone. But there was no timeslots available. So I went to the Cathay instead. I was half expecting something to grab my hand or leg halfway through the movie. Of course no such thing happened, though i wouldn't mind if there was a hand I could hold on to.

The Mac at Plaza Sing was full so I went over to Marina Sq to have my dinner after the show (ya ya grow fat and die. watever)

After that Sher came over and I helped her with some video conversion so that she can watch her Ugly Betties, Heroes and Friends while on the go. Damn. Her new iPod Touch 2nd Generation is such a beauty!







Work starts in another 9 hours. Same old stuff again. Boring. I hope something exciting will happen soon.

Is a scholar an elitist?

It is common for us to associate scholars with elitists. After all, in order for a scholar to obtain his scholarship, he needs to be outstanding in certain aspects, distinguishing himself from his peers. However, it is misleading to assume all scholars are part of the privileged few with absolute right to wealth and power.

Whatever reasons one might have for becoming a scholar, an undeniable fact is that all scholars want to have an advantage over others in the modern competitive world. Some are students who need financial assistance while others are attracted by the job opportunities which scholarships provide upon graduation. Some might even be solely after the prestige of a scholarship. Therefore, for most scholars, obtaining a scholarship is just a mean to reach their goals. It is only after they become successful later on in life that some might start to feel that they belong to a higher echelon in society.

For scholars who believe that they are vastly superior, it is probably due to their upbringing and other environmental factors. They have already been shaped to have the mindset of an elitist even before having obtained the scholarship. Thus, it is not surprising that they retain their “elitist” mindset even after becoming a scholar.

A scholarship does not change a person into an elitist overnight. Neither does it has the power to. No doubt some might feel slightly superior because of the exclusive benefits they received from the scholarship but the extent of self-gratification will not lead them into thinking they are vastly superior to everyone else.

Ultimately, it is not the scholarship that matters but the holder of the scholarship. One can be exceptionally capable and smart yet humble at the same time.

Huat ah. with that I am finally done with the application of all my scholarships. one less worry off my mind thanks in large part to the ketchup tycoon DEL MONTE! whew. lets see... what shall i do for the rest of the day?

the weather seems great for swimming though i would rather stay at home and play FATAL FRAME 3!

BAR BAR BLACK SHEEP HAVE YOU ANY MOO?
YES SIR YES SIR THREE RAY BOO!



This is a cozy little al fresco pub restaurant tucked away in the tranquil estate of Cherry Avenue. Hmmm. Is it me or does the place sounds like somthing from the Pokemon world?




Most of the patrons there are ang mohs and it creates some sort of a psuedo-American diner ambience which is definitely to my liking. My HSBC counterpart (the one without a hot date) found this place while surfing the net and felt that its a good place for us to chill and relax and eat and drink. I have to agree with his intuition.

We ordered a Tower of Stella Artois and drank to our hearts content, thanks to brandon whom, because of his principle, cannot consume alcohol.



ho ho ho. who needs the tower of babil when we can have a tower of BEER! time to drink and grow a beer belly! and the best thing is this tower costs 50% less than it would have at other places. generally, the beverages there are cheaper as compared to other places. which is why its a good place to chill and hang out and drink.



while we were drinking and talking cock, this female peddler appeared out of nowhere and shocked us with her obscenely liberal methods: "Aye! Want to buy DVD anot?"



she is selling pirated DVDs! she brought along a gigantic bag packed full with DVDs (porn or not we dunno coz we dint bother to entertain her) and went from table to table to peddle her goods! we were like - what the hell? when was the sale of pirated DVDs legalized? for those who might be interested, you must go there to have your meal. just wait for awhile and the peddler will appear. mysteriously.



this is the tandoori nasi briyani which chingay ordered for his dinner. indian food in a western pub... talk about east meet west. the pub serves thai food as well. such a melting pot is most welcomed since it gives us more variety to choose from but i would recommend you guys to just stick to the western menu because the thai and indian food are actually prepared by other seperate stalls in the vicinity which doesnt really taste as good. and the serving is just enough to fill the stomach of an adolescent. and the price? a hefty $12.



he doesnt seem too happy with his food... LOL!



moving on, this is the HOMEMADE BEEF BURGER which i ordered. looks more appetizing isnt it?



RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH the bionic burger cruncher mutilating one of its many many defenseless victims! HOO HOO HOO HA HA HA HA *CHOMP* *CHOMP* *GULP*

wei jie ordered a set of calamari rings with lots of fries and some salads. brandon didnt order anything because he ate at his workplace before coming to join us. he had free flow of breads and fillings at his subway outlet... ok at least he did order a cup of juice.

anyway, the food there is nothing new. burgers and the usual western food but they are delicious. for my beef burger, i can taste and feel the juice oozing out from the handmade patty when i chomp down on it. at least its not the standard machine made patty found in megamacs worldwide... but i still love megamac! one thing to note is that the waiting time for the food is very long. we waited for about 30 minutes before my burger and wei jie's calamari set arrived. however, for those ordering from the thai and tandoori menus, you will be able to see your food in less than 5 minutes. the choice is yours.





2.5 litres of beer flushed away...



...by chingay, wei jie and yours truly. brandon looks so serious. i guess its because his the only sober person around since he didnt drink anything hahaha. i look EXCEPTIONALLY cheerful. and yellow.



after our hearty dinner and drink, we went nearby to have ice dream for dessert. cant remember the name of the shop but i think its venecia or something like that. i ordered durian supreme plus tiramisu. brandon dark chocolate. wei jie belgium chocolate and picasso. chingay coconut.



thereafter, we went to pee and then went home. it was a night well spent catching up with one another. we talked about going to australia but didnt confirm anything because of money issues. but i would like to go there. especially after brandon told us about the fun things which we can do there. for one, we can go into the Great Victoria Desert and try mining for gold. or we can go to the zoo and poke the koalas with sticks. what am i talking about?

feeling satisfied by the meal and drinks, i hit the bed immediately when i reached home.

but... if i am already asleep who is writing this post then? could it be... the legendary GHOST WRITER? or maybe i am just suffering from bipolar disorder.

The first day of work at a new workplace turns out to be more physical than i expected. When I entered my office in the morning, I realized somebody, alot of people actually, have dumped their cartons upon cartons of belongings into it. It looks more like a warehouse actually if it wasn't for the fact that I was told last week that it was my office... How can people be so inconsiderate. Just because it is a temp staff's office doesn't mean they can use it as a storeroom! Total disregard for my existence. Then again, nobody gives a shit about us.

My office-turned-warehouse was really in a mess. Cartons were stacked all over and we have to squeeze into our seats. Oh, did I mention that the office is actually shared by 3 people, including myself? Picture this; an office about 3m by 2m packed with 3 humans, 3 desktops and 15 or so cartons of junk. Thank goodness i do not have claustrophobia.

So I started my day's work amidst a sea of... things. Half way through, the Super Big Boss came into my office with the Business Head (both are big shots lah) and the former was telling the latter that my office is so unsightly it resembles a garang guni shack... And he wants the respective supervisors to remove their stuff from my office. I should have known that Super Big Boss was referring to us temp staff when he said "respective supervisors"... WTH lah!

Me and my colleague lz then spent the afternoon clearing stuff from the office by shifting them to another empty room. Half way through, lz... met some problems and I had to carry on alone. It was not until 4pm plus that our office-cum-warehouse became an office. At around 5.30pm we had a "housewarming" party where all the uber big shots came down to celebrate the relocation of our department to the new place. There were donuts and tarts and tea and coffee. I ate 3 donuts and drank a cup of tea. Hey, I deserved it.


My workstation.


The view from my office...


... and add in my pair of legs. Hehe.


My latest addiction. STARBUCKS FRAPPUCINO!!! Quite expensive though.

A few moments ago, I was struck by this very uneasy feeling... it just came suddenly. I dunno what caused it but it just feels as if something bad is going to happen. A very bad feeling tugging at my heart. The feeling is gone now but... I wonder what it meant.

Hopefully its not something bad.

Today is just another Sunday at home for me. I am supposed to start on my NTU Scholarship essay but the procrastination virus got to me again. I wanted to revise my Japanese but the lazy bug bit me.

Ugh. Am I degenerating? I probably need a generator or something to help me regenerate.

So I read through a few pages of "The World without Us" - a new book which I just started. It talks about how Nature will undo the damage we inflicted to Earth and the ecosystem after the extinction of the entire human species. Hence, the world without us.

I started watching Sex and the City season 1. I finished the first 5 episodes and just loaded the remaining 7 episodes into my iPod. It talks about love, sex, woman and relationships. A most interesting lesson which I desperately need. Downloading season 2 now. I also watched Rec. True enough, its much more clearer than the American version Quarantine. And the TV host is much more cuter haha.

I convinced myself that I do not need a new iPod by reorganizing all the music and movies in my existing one to make it look "new". While looking through my PC for songs to add into my pod, I discover this folder full of songs from the past ten years! Some of the songs really brings back memories and reignited old flames from the past. Not sure what that means but basically, its nolstagia for me =D added some of these songs in my playlist. I am especially intrigued by "U can't touch this"... why does Ted comes to mind immediately lol. His Maple Story nick maybe.

The remaining time I spend on sleeping. Sleep sleep sleep. Good for health... Sleep and wake up sleep and wake up again. I will be starting work at my new office tomorrow! I prefer my old one though coz the new one is smack right in between my boss's office and my department head's office. Die. Cannot slack as much as I used to previously LOL!!!!! Never mind. At least I have a good view from my new office.

up for sale is a nokia 8800 arte which i bought in UK last year. selling it to clear my room. because the item was purchased in UK, it cannot use M1 sim cards.

I REPEAT - THIS PHONE DOES NOT SUPPORT M1 sim card!!!!!

However, Starhub and Singtel sim cards can be used by this phone. Sorry M1 users :)
Phone is in perfect working condition. Outlook will be 9/10. there is a scratch on the charging dock but it shudnt be a problem.

The phone comes with the whole package and box. I lost the pouch which comes with the phone but i replaced it with another original nokia pouch.

Bought it for around $1800 at that time. now u can own this fashion icon for just $650!!!!!

Dont miss the offer. Grab the chance to own this masterpiece phone now!

.....I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Ho ho ho... Mom and Dad enjoying a moment of intimacy.
Who says senior couples can't get romantic LOL.

and so it came to pass. the man who got tempted by the cheap deal got cheated himself.

after spending another $139 on repairs and upgrading service for the phone, it still CANT WORK! the blinking son-of-a shopkeeper tell me what because i bought the phone from overseas, it won't be able to access all mobile networks. BUT the phone can use SINGTEL AND STARHUB sim cards but not M1. Why? Because M1 is one of the mobile network that the phone cant access.

I dunno about you guys but that explanation has so many holes I can bore thru it better than Phoenix Wright!

then, as if trying to add salt to injury, the shopkeeper dares to tell me that I need to pay another $100 extra for Technician's Service Fee. he said i need to understand that the technician they hired to do the job needs to be paid as well. and I was like WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOUR BARBECUED PENIS?!?!?!?! so i told the young man that there is no such thing as demanding extra payment from me after confirming with me that the final price is $139! the fucking receipt i got in my hand states $139 and now u happy happy wan to add another $100! I dun wan to understand ur technician. you guys should work out the appropriate fees first before quoting me the price! not change ur mind already then come and find me for money.

seriously is the guy retarded? how in the world did he manage to open a shop and do business? i know, he must be another con-man.

Anyway, i refused to pay the $100 and took the useless phone and stormed out of the store. I am not going back to sim lim square again for this kind of things. they are out to chop ur vegetable head only!!!!

after that, i inspected my phone and feel that they didnt do anything to it at all. they claimed that they will help me change the microchip inside so that all the software will become a local set software. but the old settings and old functions of the phone when i first got it are still there. in fact, everything seems intact. then it dawned upon me that they might not have done anything AT ALL! they probably just collected my money and phone, promise me the services, break their promise by doing nothing and then send me away with the lame excuses that they tried their best etc etc etc.

come to think of it, when i went to the shop last saturday, the shopkeeper promised that if the phone still cant work, they will give me a full refund! bullshit! they only gave me a stomach full of infernoes and a personal vendetta against that dark stained building!!!!!!!

remember this 3 lessons people:

1. DO NOT BE TEMPTED BY CHEAP STUFF ON THE NET!

2. BE CAREFUL WHEN BUYING ELECTRONICS FROM OVERSEAS. THEY MIGHT NOT BE USABLE IN SINGAPORE

3. AVOID PATRONIZING SIM LIM SQUARE AND FEEDING YOUR BLOOD TO THE LEECHES THERE

Great. So now I am stuck with writing an essay of 500 words about myself. What am I suppose to say? My family? My likes dislikes? What I do for a living? My twisted past? My boss?

Sheeez... so broad. Wished they have given us more specific topics.

AHHHHHHHH!

The deadline for my scholarship application is this Friday! But I am still 4 essays short of completing the application. And I am not exactly in the right condition to compose a decent essay. And to top that off, I have another Japanese test this Saturday!!!

Somebody give me some juice to help me with my thinking!

Are scholars elitist?

How am I supposed to know? Why don't you ask them?

Describe yourself in 500 words or less.

I love to eat Mega Mac for lunch. I have a fetish for Pikachu. I want to lay down my life for the Great Motherland. I...
