Man gets on a crowded flight. Plane's totally full. But the seat next to him is empty. He thinks - wonder who i'm going to be sitting next to? Then the most beautiful woman he ever saw in his life comes down the aisle. The face of an angel and legs up to her neck. Sure enough, she seats right down in the seat next to him. the guy finally works up the courage to talk to her:

Man: "Excuse me, excuse me? Where are you headed?"
Woman: "Oh, I'm off to the Kilcarney Sex Convention. I lecture on the subject. dispel some of the myths surrounding sex"
Man: "Like what?"
Woman: "Well, for example, many people believe that black men are more generously endowed than other men. And in fact, it is Native American men who are more likely to reveal that physiological trait. And the popular wisdom has it that French men make the best lovers. Whereas statistics show that Greek men are far more likely to give sexual pleasure to their partners.

But i'm telling you all this, and i don't even know your name!"

The guy reached out his hand.

Man: "Tonto. My name is Tonto Papadopolous."

Hey guys OASIS is gonna be here!!!! 23rd Feb! Anybody interested in a whole night of rocking the house down old school style?!!!

Tickets are 160, 98 for standing and 160, 98, 68 for seated.

Yeah I know its expensive but dammit, Oasis don't come here every other day! Just skip clubbing 4 times and you'll even have money to spare to buy a t-shirt after the concert from one of those enterprising jackarses who think they're doing everyone a favour. (assuming you only spend 30 bucks each time you club)

Get back to me ASAP k. I think tickets are going fast!

How many special people change, how many lives are living strange.

Where were you while we were getting high?

i personally loved the tagboard and i feel lost when i come here wanting to leave a tag only to be unable to find a tagboard. i am not an administrator so i cannot put the tagboard back even if i wanted to but if you can, please do put the tagboard back. i'm sure most of us would enjoy that. if not we'll just wait for shaun to come back and do it.

remember i'm just making a point and not shooting anyone. harmless as a ball of cotton.

thank you.

=) 11 years 

rawrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! ummzhi ummzhi UMMMMZHIIII tts all we hear now 

brilliant. with bartender david there will never be a sober soul left in the house hahha. white love, yam char, golden shower, golden shower part version 2.0 i think we pretty much nailed it gents. lets see what happens next 

the master of trance man.. who got crowd gg even though it started to rain like man! die hard clubbers we are. 

lazy-assed and bored-out. let me sleep.

it's so incredibly hard to ask people out nowadays.

besides the fact that sometimes people are just plain lazy, even if you manage to drag them out of their house what will you do?

movie? i find that so cliché. not to mention a little boring with the wrong shows.

coffee sounds interesting. not so when you're done talking with nothing more to offer and all you're left with are polite smiles and cold drinks. or warm if you had ice blended stuff.

window shopping then! ultimate anguish. resisting the urge to spend yet pointlessly tiring yourself out. with the right person it could turn out to be a joy. but with the wrong one, it's just a marathon.

club the night away! right. but honestly, after awhile, the ummzi ummzi just gets all the same. without the eye candy, things get boring fast. get high? well, drinks aren't cheap. unless you're a cheap drunk. well, good for you then. or not. even then, what's the point?

tan out at the beach! awesome! really. just not every day. you risk not only skin cancer but also the high possibility of resembling lobster el flambé.

how about going on a holiday? yay! i want. you sponsor?

i say again: it's just tiring to ask people out. somehow spontaneous people just don't come around anymore. you have to plan and confirm and plan and confirm somemore before something actually happens. hey, you're going out, not planning the national budget.

there used to be people who go, hey, free today? let's hang out. brilliant! do what? dunno, but we'll just see as we go, k? just like that. simple. i wanna do that. a no brainer. just go out and have fun.

oh well, guess it seldom happens anymore, as we become people who live by events and not people who creates events.

perhaps you don't feel that way but this lazy-assed, bored-out ranter does. crazed by waking up to a day that has absolutely nothing lined up for him. if his schedule's not filled, he might just ask you out. till then, we'll keep in touch.

night.

Xmas Party @ Cai's

hmm anyway i'm off to the states. anyone wanna send me off please do, flight's at 7am =).

perfection + girl

when you put the words perfection and girl together, you get a mythical creature unseen by the eyes of men. somehow, we men are unfortunately not programmed to identify with such a being. we can only picture an image of one with long-flowing hair, smooth-edged shoulders, a curvy waist accentuated by her swaying hips, walking AWAY from us on her seemingly endless legs. give or take a few attributes and you have the perfect girl. we can never imagine what her face looks like. it's just that way.

ask any guy on the street, what does your perfect girl look like? he'll tell you, long hair, short hair, no hair, big boobs, medium boobs, no boobs, curvy, thin, meaty, long legs, short legs, medium legs, etc. but they can't tell you is exactly how she looks like. it seems as if we had to put a face to such a legendary individual with such perfect features it would ruin everything. of cos, if you're asking your boyfriend, he'd say you're the perfect girl. so don't ask your boyfriends. and they'd be lying anyway.

you may not be the perfect girl that he has imagined in his head (that's the truth), but trust me when i say you are the perfect girl in his heart. at least for NOW.

truth be told, there is no perfect girl. the prettiest girl may have the ugliest personality, the nicest girl to you may not be the most attractive around you and she who makes you smile everyday, tingles your heart and weakens your knees may hold someone else close to her heart.

the perfect girl is the one who you are at complete ease with. the one who brings you home-made cakes and cookies whenever you want them. and you'd love every bite of them, even if they tasted horrible. the perfect girl is that one who'd sit down beside you and calm you down when you were angry or cheer you up when you were upset. but really she doesn't even need to try because, you're lifted the moment you see her coming towards you, sitting her pretty little self beside and asking: "hey, are you okay?"

the fact that she cared, that she bothered to walk all the way from there to you, that she spotted that you were down from faraway just cleared your head of all your worries, even if it was momentary. and for that moment, you smile and say: "yeah, everything's okay now."

the reason why we can never picture the face of that perfect girl that we've always been imagining is because we're waiting for you to gift us with the final piece of the puzzle that is you. and when all's complete, it doesn't matter if you don't have long flowing hair, smooth edged shoulders, curvy waists accentuated by swaying hips carried by endless legs. cos in our eyes you do. and what matters is that you aren't walking away. you are there, for us to have, to hold and to love.

so boys, if there's any who touches your heart so, keep her close and hold her tight lest you lose her to indifference. 'cause no one can take your perfect girl away unless you've decided to let her go.

and girls, don't hide your feelings and run away 'cause boys being boys will never find out about anything that you mean to hide from them.

the perfect girl in my heart would always make me smile.
she'd always care.
she'd always have the perfect eyes, perfectly cute nose and perfect smile.
she'd walk and carry herself with perfect grace and poise.
(even if she does get clumsy sometimes and knocks things over)
she'd have the perfect soothing voice with the perfect calming hand.
she'd chuckle perfectly with wondrous glee over my lame jokes and foolish antics.
she'd lean perfectly against my shoulder when she gets tired while star gazing on the beach.
my heart'll melt, knowing she's perfectly at peace, eyes closed in deep slumber.

and i know that i'd hold her perfectly close if only i knew where she disappeared to.

- my perfect girl -

"CYBERPARKERS, how many of you are attached? how many of you have been hurt by girls? 'nuff said."

sometimes the answer to a complicated question is to stop asking it. its in my opinion that relationships are a bit like money. let me explain.

sometimes some people get caught up in trying to make money that they forget to enjoy the money they have made. they forget that happiness is not how much you earn, but how contented you are. they forget their goals, dreams, aspirations. they get caught up in the worldly game of a rat-race, looking back, they see that the only thing they truly loved was money.

likewise, it is in my personal opinion that if a reasonable man were to always wonder when he might find the right gal, when he might feel uplifted by the presence of a genteel being, he forgets the friends that he once had, the joy that he shared and the laughter that made him who he was. he might seem nonchalent and sensitive as he waits and mulls, but is he contented? i do not imply that having a relationship is bad nor do i imply that not having one is good. Whether we were or were not in a relationship before, can we look back at the time spent and say.. yes, i have no regrets, yes, i did enjoy myself. and one of the moments i did enjoy was when i looked back at my A-levels and wonder y didnt i study harder in year 1? but boy did i have fun and that i have no regrets. mayb i wasnt smart enough to juggle play and work. and i am sure many people on this website can have a mischievous grin at time well spent in a school somewhere in the east.

this brings me back to my earlier point, is success measured byhow long a relationship lasts? or how much we enjoyed? i reckon that success is only achieved when on hindsight u look back and say there was no other way i could have done this better. and here i am, proud of wat i am. look at the face of a just-to-be Dad, or the feelings of a expectant mum. that i am sure, many people would agree, is the start of another chapter and the closure of a successful part of life.

there has been some very good advice given about relationships, but if only we could define the core term that it revolves around it. the term that drives and motivates, and the term that despairs and torments. that term is love. one interesting point raised is that can relationships really be placed on the same level as marriage? where it being the holy unity of man and woman of a lifelong committment, of trust, care, worries, tribulations and so much more. till death do we part. can that level of profoundness be compared to a relationship? one might argue that the seeds of marrigae might be a relationship. then the counter arguement would be that seeds and the resultant fertile crop are 2 very different things. if your seeds fail to grow, a reasonable man might just weep for the hours he has spent. but if his crop fails, he might be runied for the months spent toiling.

but thats beyond the scope of the discussion. what matters is that perhaps instead of wishing for the right winds to blow, for the right rains to come, cherish what we have and the moments that once passed might never come back. because love might make the future seem bright, contentment will make the present seem cheerful and success will make our past seem resplendent.

Good luck to Frens n Co. having exams!! best regards from the UK

return fire. defence of the boys

firstly, i kinda disagree with you.

"Couple met, fall in love and then break. Girl sad, boy don't want her, girl hung up."

it takes 2 to break up. meaning it's not entirely the guy's fault that he's lost interest in her, neither is it entirely the girl's fault that she can't keep the guy's interest. relationships are basically simpler versions of marriage, starting a family etc. there is a need for relationship planning as there is a need for planning marriage, planning kids.

the feelings of the heart are more often than not, intangible and unjustifiable. there can be points in time when you feel alot for this person, and there are other times when you just can't stand being around this person. This "phenomenon" is the result of factors such as 1) the need for company 2) lust for the opp sex (yes we do all lust) 3) the activities that we are involved in (school, having fun with friends, etc) 4) perhaps more but i'm lazy to think

hence, before going into the relationship, there has to be a pre-relationship phase - akin to dating before marriage, we have to date before dating. make sense? good. Whirlwind romances mostly never last. Long distance relationships never last (1% maybe). A good advice would be to understand the person you like very thoroughly before going into a relationship.

"In dating, the story goes, boy chase girl, girl accept him and *kah boom* , you start a relationship, right?"

A relationship shouldn't be all flowery and honeymoonish. Personally, a relationship should transit from friends to "lovers" so smoothly that the date that you guys actually got together is sort of blurry. So for all those 1/2/3 months dating people, please put in more effort to hide your dark secrets because one day they'll be discovered. Also, this is why it's harder to keep the attention of the opp party.

for girls (and boys) who think that relationships that last anything from 4 mths to six mths to under a year is considered a long relationship, it serves you right that you broke up and you're all miserable. You should see relationships as something more sacred than just short termed goals. If you can't hope and strive to be with the person forever, it just means you're a player. i mean, i just can't see anyone saying "oh i hope i'll be together with her for a year. or two". and i've heard many of my friends say "oh i'll love her forever and ever".. then when they break.. "shit happens..oh well".

Brings me to the next point. There is a fine line btw love and like like like like alot. Noone can define love. but most silly immature girls love the word love. they use it freely as if they knew what it meant. please stop this. and guys, please stop using the word love to get into girls' pants.

"Yes, we not only lose out physically, we also lose out emotionally and that sucks like shite."

what makes you think that guys don't lose out physically and emotionally? girls lose out physically because what, they lose their virginity? guys have their virginity too, however gay that sounds. anyway it's all a mindset. you can't lose what you don't give. and you can never lose what you willingly give. so please DON'T BULLSHIT ME about this physical aspect of a relationship. emotionally. let's see. CYBERPARKERS, how many of you are attached? how many of you have been hurt by girls? 'nuff said.

some examples:
"damn sian leh. she haven't reply. what to do ah? msg again? wait she think i'm irritating"
"i think i'm on her ignore list on msn"
"she shut me out of her life all of a sudden"
"how can she do this to me?"

girls never do realize how much effort really goes into a girl they like. the time spent, money spent, effort spent. you may say you're not high maintenance, or just a very simple girl who wants affection, but to guys it's a different matter altogether. we go out to impress, to win you over. money, affection, effort and time all come together in a package. when a guy tells his guyfriends about a girl, his guyfriends all know he's serious. we'll give him space and even though he says he has no money to go out with us, we won't get pissed when he has money to go out with her. So if the guy spends so much of his capacity to get you, and finally wins you over, you better be sure you are what you portrayed to him during the "chase". I mean, i wouldn't pity the girl if the guy realizes the girl is actually some gossiping vulgar bitch and not the elegant classy girl he thought he was after and dumps her.

"You men always think that we are some deluded, some irrational and insecure bitches who wants perfection and attention, but we're only like that because you treat us THAT WAY."

guys are as insecure as girls. so don't go around befriending other guys and hughug kisskiss. it's ok for girlfriends to go out/hang out with other guys but it gets on our nerves sometimes. so outwardly it may seem alright to us, but the feeling'll grow. don't be close to other guys than your boyfriend. if you can go around hugging boys, we can go around hugging girls.


you stopped here, so i'll conclude.

getting into a relationship isn't all "rainbows and butterflies". Calling each other stupid won't help either, neither is stringing as many stupids as you can into a sentence. that's just being immature. there are issues of both parties that every individual needs to consider. obviously you don't understand guys very well, and i don't expect you to, because guys will never understand girls very well either. The only thing we can do is be sensitive to the opp sex, don't ask for too much and always work things out sensibly. in a relationship, transparency, honesty, passion will make a couple go far. In a relationship, it's most impt to give and take, and in anger, always SHUT UP. you will always say the wrong things in the heat of anger.

final note, girls please think carefully before going into a relationship. don't go in then come out complaining. most of you do. it's true that some guys are players, but i know for a fact that a hell lot of girls are players too. be prudent when choosing your partner.

"guys suck and girl's are suckers"

"men give love for sex, and women give sex for love"

now how long have i not posted anything... but i jus had to get this off my chest! BYE BYE MA. no more MA anymore.. n from the looks of today i can pass!!!! i an gonna pass my MA!!! who hooo!!! the end is near. 

1 down, 1 more to go.

i am pleased to announce that i will be pleased to get above 40/100 for the STAT102: Introductory Statistics B final exam. thank you thank you, you're far too kind.

goodbye deans' list, goodbye my only hope for an A.

crash all my hopes upon FA. crash and burn...

in addition i've made a bet with ms. anna vanessa haotanto that if i score above a B for STAT102, i will treat her one jug of housepour at zouk. if i score below B, she will treat me one jug of housepour. all you readers will bare witness to this testimony!

"would you cared if i disappeared?
would you be happier?
would you miss me?
perhaps you would know after i told you goodbye."

adieu

farewell my dear,
my decision perhaps long overdue.
as i turn my back and take my leave,
i want you to know, i bid you adieu.

"would you cared if i disappeared?
would you be happier?
would you miss me?
perhaps you would know after i told you goodbye."

You left your door wide open,
Couldn't help but walk in.
It's the last place I should be,
But I'm dying to see you
Have I held out for something
that is never going to happen?
It's not me that you love..
You woke up cold this morning,
Shied away from my touch
I would never mean to hurt you,
Cause I love you so much
Was it always only one night
that you ever wanted from me?
It's not me that you love..

so it begins. a 5-day sprint to freedom. on your marks, get set...

ills of studying too much. makes you ponder when you take a break.

with all the statistics testings i've been studying, test here, test there. test till i go bonkers. so....as i looked up to take a breather and saw the orange flashing thingy at my windows taskbar, i thought:

if you don't talk to anyone at all while studying all day, how many people will come talk to you?
considering only communications that isn't face to face. e.g.: phone call, sms, msn.

results after a few days, less than satisfying, which was expected since i'm:
(a) not a hot chick;
(b) not a pretty girl;
(c) not gay and hence no gay friends.

people who initiated conversation are as follows:
(a) the nice people posting on this blog, asking where i am;
(b) classmates, bored from studying;
(c) the pretty ladies who enjoy talking to me. :)

to be honest, i'm not so sure about (c). i just like to think that way. but then again maybe they were just bored and had no one else to talk to....

hmmm....

haha. the things people do when they're bored. sheesh.

anyway, remember Dec 2nd, cos i can't hardly wait.

coder 

livefeed from CR 3.4 me and shaun. 12.38am 

this is pretty bad.

slept at 11 last night when i wanted to watch the manu match, woke at 5am found out contacts still in eyes, had to peel them out. fell back asleep again till 8am and woke up for breakfast. slept again till now. 1230pm.

i should be studying! ok. school now. GO.

listen to your heart

listen to your heart
when he's calling for you
listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do
i don't know where you're going
and i don't know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye

cancellations/recollections/ponderations

i feel like cancelling sentosa.
unless you can persuade me not to.
no particular reason.
just sian in general.

does being older make you nicer?
or is it just personal change?
as shaun said, when did it ever pay to be nice?
tempting words indeed.
perhaps i should get in touch with my old self.
just an little of that will be enough.
i'll think about it.

a man shouldn't get tangled by his emotions.
it's utterly disgusting for a man to wallow in self pity.
where is your pride?
my advice?
time to wake up.
you're a man
or at least growing up to be a man.
learn to act like one.

i live to lead someone else's life
