our favourite friend

if you browse through today's straights times, there's a special fashion piece that has... guess who? Timothy John on it! wow wee! i'm so excited

model boy in his full glory. all you girls out there should start looking him up. What more can you ask for? rich, smart, charismatic, goodlooking(debatable), national waterpolo player etcetc with a whole long list enough to make into a roll of toilet paper.

he tells serene huang from straights times about his life growing up, about his passion for waterpolo and all his achievements. Then moves on to tell the world he's the president of ambassadors in SMU and that he wants to give back to his alma mata blah blah blah. then he starts telling us about his BIG DECISION on whether to forego his internship somewhere or go overseas to train for SEA games or something, where he uses the term "cost benefit analysis". hmm way to go Tim John you'd make all your professors proud. too bad you didn't mention which prof taught you that in the interview, it'd really score some brownie points.

anyway after the paper listed all his achievements, it really occurred to me that they were missing the most important achievement in the whole of Timothy John's life.

That he won the prestigious BOOKER PRIZE*.


*The Man Booker Prize for Fiction, also known as the Booker Prize, is one of the world's most prestigious literary prizes, awarded each year for the best original full-length novel written.

Incandescent

I haven't blogged in awhile. Not that it matters to anyone, but it does matter to me anyway.

To be honest, nothing much in this world matters, but there will always be a few things that matters more than everything else put together. Like love, friendship and self.

I came to say more. More words from the heart but I lost the courage to reveal. I wanted to do a "Postsecret" here, but oh well. It's always easier to say things hidden behind "anonymous", like our dearest friend in the left corner. Maybe tomorrow I'll have greater strength of mind to carry on. So let us talk about tomorrow then.

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

To live. To be incandescent.

i honestly think i deserve to post today

i've never really had bad days. usually a thing or two goes wrong, but the end result is more or less predictable and i usually set myself up for the worst. then i just become grumpy for awhile then have fun till i become normal again. today, was one of the worst (read:dumbest) day of my life. technically it's not a bad day. it's just so retarded that perhaps it becomes funny. well it was for cai at least.

everything started out as per normal. i wake up late, mumble to whoever calls me and finally drag myself out of bed to play frisbee on sentosa. come to think of it maybe the bad day started then. i was trying to squeeze in another hour of sleep before leaving the house but people kept calling me. mark, cai, greg, mark, jh, tiff. by the time tiff called i was swearing at the phone. ok but that's not so bad. took a cab down to sentosa, and was early by some standards. played frisbee, and everything went well.

perhaps it all started when i said i'd get struck by lightning and didn't. *i'm sorry thundergod. zeus. then it started getting late and i had to rush for my movie at 730. isaac wasn't paying attention and mark didn't know how to get to town from harbourfront, so we missed the exit and had to make a U turn. noone at fault here i guess, but late nonetheless. lost about 10 mins. mark was kind enough to send me all the way down to cathay, so i wasn't very late for the show. show went well. then it all fell apart.

to cut this part short, argued with jh, pissed slow off, cancelled mambo doughnut night, missed dinner.

THEN.

met up with the guys again who were hanging around in wisma. decided to go play dota as per normal. i told mark i was damn hungry but food republic in wisma was closed. lights and everything off. so i suggested drive thru on the way to katong. so there we go 5 guys in a car driving to the macs drive thru. reach there, want to order food, nobody say hello to me from that silly speaker thing. so we drove to the window to order. the malay dude tells me:

"yo bro cannot order"
me: "why sia machine spoil ah"
"no la macdonalds no power cannot cook food"
me: *wtf macdonalds no power?* "uh ok thanks"

NVM. we spotted KFC next to kallang macs. hungry can eat anything. so we drive 10 m across to KFC drive thru. macdonalds no power, must be because KFC use EMP shockwave to nuke them. so we were pretty sure KFC was stealing all the business. queue up behind 2 cars. when my turn come, the malay bro tell me

"yo bro cannot order"
me: "why sia"
"food sold out"
cai to malay bro: " did the car in front get food"
"yah he got the last one sorry fellas"
me: "forget it"

i swear in my head i had enough swearing for a 4.7gb DVD-RW

then go to katong, lost all my dota games.

i'm really really sorry i said you'd strike me with lightning. i take it back. you can keep you electricity i really don't want it.

"NOOOOOOOOOOoo"

The Real Myth

Friday, December 08, 2006
"At this season of the Winter Solstice may reason prevail. There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell. There is only our natural world. Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds. "
posted by shaun


To say religion is a myth is but to dissolve all those obligations whereby civil societies are preserved and built upon.

and that Christianity or religion is a part of the laws of many countries today and To cast doubt on the doctrines of the established church or to deny the truth of the faith upon which it was founded is to attack the fabric of society itself.

The US Pledge of Allegiance:

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands: one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Germany's Constitution: Preamble

Conscious of their responsibility before God and men, animated by the purpose to serve world peace as an equal part in a unified Europe, the German People have adopted, by virtue of their constituent power, this Constitution


The Iraqi Constitution: THE PREAMBLE
(translated from the Arabic by the United Nation's Office for Constitutional Support, and the translation approved by the Iraqi government)

In the name of God, the most merciful, the most compassionate
We have honored the sons of Adam.


Afghanistan's Oath of Allegiance:

In the name God Almighty, in the presence of you representatives of the nation of Afghanistan, I swear to obey and safeguard the provisions of the sacred religion of Islam.


That society is founded on laws, that many laws are based on morality, and that morality mainly guided by religion.

The Greatest Myth that man has led himself to believe is the myth that no god exists in the world as he so lives in.

At this season of the Winter Solstice may reason prevail. There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell. There is only our natural world. Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds.

hmmm. something's not right

You Date Like a Woman

According to studies on dating, you date like a woman. You tend to take romance seriously, and you're not really out for a fling. A mental and emotional connection always comes first for you. And rushing the physical stuff is likely to turn you off. You're highly selective when it comes to dating, and some may say you're too picky. You know what you want, and when you find it, you're ready to commit.

the great hair adventure with slow

hi i went to cut my hair ):

but it still looks the same (:

slow and i wanted to go to my "hair dresser" at two step but i told her better not cause it's budget. she might come out looking like a poodle (not that she didn't at the one we went to but...).

it's called... uhh.... i forgot what it's called. ex- something. whatever. it's located at orchard emerald... never heard of it? it's next to OG and UOB... opp john little. that sleazy looking place right smack in the middle of town.

Before the cut:

it's all about the process:


getting professional ... my first time! my hairdresser was this cool punkish chick.


uhm. that's slow not me. damn unglam.


haha this guy is damn cute. he's 30 this year... jolly guy kept yakking away at slow but she very kancheong so gives monosyllabic answers. tsktsk.


strangely enough, everytime he leans over to chat with me he speaks chinese. then when he talks to slow he speaks english. after i asked him why, he said i looked cheena. -_-;;;

after taking so many unglam pictures of her she finally got pissed. all the paparazzi. slow is too cool for me

after going to pay for the haircut.. the guy said he charge me the girls rate cause my hair too long. wtf. receipt says ladies cut too. awesome la.


after! my new poodle!

"tough times don't last, tough men do " - Poh

"Only the weak get left behind" - Poh

"It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat." - Isaac told me this before brunei which i told jh before brunei

Talk

Let's talk, about tomorrow

Tell me everything you're gonna do

Laugh at how the world will end

And when it's said and done we're all just fools

Let's talk about tomorrow

Sit around and we'll laugh and cry

Talk about, where we're gonna go from here

Talk about how we love, we live, we die

maybe you'll be there

Each time I see a crowd of people
Just like a fool I stop and stare
It's really not the proper thing to do
But maybe you'll be there
I go out walking after midnight
Along the lonely thoroughfare
It's not the time or place
To look for you
But maybe you'll be there

You said your arms would always hold me
You said your lips were mine alone to kiss
Now after all those things you told me
How can it end like this?
Someday if all my prayers are answered
I'll hear a footstep on the stair
With an anxious heart
I'll hurry to the door
And maybe you'll
Be there

driving down the autoshow 

driving down the (101) nicoll highway.

in the times of high stress these days, i have found a fantastic way to destress.

driving with my favourite jazz pieces playing.

"the loneliness of paris, seem so sadly gay, the glory that was rome, was of another day. i've been terribly alone and forgotten in manhattan. im coming home to my city by the bay..

I left my heart, in San Francisco. high on a hill it calls to you..to be where, little cable cars. climb halfway to the stars. the morning fog, may chill the air, i dont care. my love waits there..."

or

"oh the good life, full of fun, seems to be the ideal. mm the good life, lets you hide all the sadness you feel. you wont really fall in love. when you can't take the chance. so please be honest, with yourself, dont try to fake romance.

its the good life.. to be free and enjoy the unknown.. like the heartaches, you must learn to face them alone.. please remember i still want you, but in case you wondered why.. just wake up, kiss the good life goodbye.."

sometimes i really wonder if i want to do what i want to do. working at dragonfly has been a great journey for me and will be crazy busy in dec. random thoughts. do i really want to do i-banking ? is the pay attracting me or the glamour ? the prestige ? or the name of merrill lynch or citigroup or ubs or goldman or credit suisse or jp morgan ?

was driving down nicoll highway that day at 320am and thoughts were just flying through my mind. i want a challenge. and that challenge will come with i-banking. but is that really what i want.

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
but we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way

hullo

it's been a long tiring journey since the start of this sem and as usual toward the end of the semester our posts get shorter and shorter as the exams get nearer and nearer. Now that exams are in a week's time, everyone's just about getting jittery and snappy. So just to let everyone relax i shall tell a little story about me.

It begins with a "Long time ago... "

I've always been a geek and a sucker for geeky gadgets. It's a wonder i don't own an mp3. All i have is an MD and a Discman (which i bought for 300 bucks when Ipods were[are] the craze. i'm stupid yes) After countless burning of mds and cds sometimes you get so fed up that you stop burning them altogether because it's just so fucking ley chey. You end up listening to the same bloody CDs yet reminding yourself on the bus ride to go home and churn up another playlist. If you're like me you'd have some of the symtoms:

• You associate songs together because your playlist keeps repeating the same songs in the same fashion
• You know all the lyrics to the songs, and can even add in your own extra vocals when appropriate
• You're not even listening to the CD because you're so used to it that you just listen to your discman for ambient noise. Plugging in also gives you the right to stare at people who will guiltily glance away when you stare at them.

My MD and discman lasted awhile, till the earphones all broke off and frayed into non existence. So after shelving my discman and my semi functional MD, in comes along the nice and sweet k750i sony ericsson phone. WOW WEE Mp3 ringtones and 2.0 mpxl Camera! Hot swappable SD card slot! lots geek functions too! What a dream come true. I can not only listen to the songs i want, i can change my playlist at will!

But of course everything comes with a price for those who are poor (or cheap). I had only 64mb of space on the SD card. That gave me about what, 16 songs? and being lazy i didn't always bother to change the bloody songs. So i went back to the same routine of listening to the same fucking 16 songs everyday to school. OMG i can rap eminem word for word and do in sync air punches with my chemical romance. But because i'm a poor and cheap student, it sufficed to alleviate some of the annoying morning commute. UNTIL.

The left earphone started fraying and suddenly, i was commuting to school every morning with Augustana pelting out tunes in my right ear and young secondary school girls bitching in my left ear. But what can i do? I can't change the headphone jack cause it's those phone handsfree set thingies. Buy a new one? Nah not worth it. And to make matters worse, the entire world was taken over by the ipod revolution. Everywhere you go you see those suspicious white earbuds peeking out. Not to mention how apple made the bloody things so goddamned delicious. Everyone's plugging in, have you plugged in yet????? THE SOLUTION.

After debating for almost 5 years, i came to a conclusion(solution). In the midst of understanding aggregate expenditure versus aggregate product and the cobb douglas model, i finally had it! I stood up, looked bravely into my friend's eyes, and told him i had to leave him for a short while. I was to embark on a perilous journey to save myself from eternal torture. He knew my heart was true and didn't stop me from my calling. I hopped on the mrt and headed for Cineleisure.

say hellllllllllllooooooooooooooooo to the PEEPEEPOD!

Majestically sitting on my table at last. This ebony beauty set me back 400 bucks ):








Unveiling the gadget that will make me disappear into myself even more:



ooh the sweet seduction of steve jobs. Even the casing was oh-s0-pretty. compact and minimalistic, apple is seriously getting slightly satanic.

They even gave me a "genuine leather" nano case, and let me choose from many different colors too. "....."

well, it was worth $39 bucks so it's really not too bad.








It's really cool how they packaged it. Peel away the sticker and "WALA!"
















"Arise Lord Vader...."
















it's aliveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

















nifty little wires all hidden in the small package.

it's great that apple has minimal instructions for operating the nano. Not that i need it, but it's still nice to see them trying to use pictures instead of a whole chunk of words.





nice green case with (finally) new and in mint condition earphones. i can plug in now, can you?

ok whatever.
just one gripe, i hate itunes.
have fun mugging, this is your daily tech dose.

i got hot chick too. and damn right. its better than yours.

a wrong state of mind

when all things you treasure give way,
what's there to be left for you here?

should you stay or should you go?

life goes through it's cycles and everything never seems to be the same again.

dust your shoulders.
stand up.
look back once.
make your choice or drift on by.

life's a bitch

bitching over this, bitching over that.
emo over nothing and everything.
what's the point?
life's a bitch.
i'm done. it's over.

NEITHER HOs nor BROS

yeah i know. at 12mn i wasnt there with you guys.
didnt really wanna play lah.
but somehow going there wasnt such a horrid idea either.

girls called me for supper and i guess i couldve had supper and pop over when i was done.
christie and dawn la. wanted to catch up on dawns progress since i missed the show on 8th oct.

i waited for them to finish work and trot down to the east.
from like 830 was first contact to 12mn i gave up waiting.
a few phone calls in between.
damn shiok. i waited rather long. and time swept by.
soon, i was like, "oh bedtime"
ciao homies. no supper. no dota.
just one lonely boy.

its all good lah. just hope u guys dont hold it against me.
i know i dont have to explain myself.

HOs over BROS apparently

next year around the same period of time
even if you're totally naked
and waiting by the iron gate
4 handsome men won't be at your door bearing gifts

cause the 4 men

"suddenly got supper"

The Departed

After watching the movie, I realised that at times..Life can be unfair and it can be a real BITCH

but, it's times like these you learn to live again..

I guess..that this is where we've come to
If you don't want to..then you don't have to believe me
But I won't be there when you go down..just so you know now
You're on your own now believe me..I don't want to be the one to blame
You like fun and games..keep playing 'em..I'm just saying..think back then
We weren't like one and the same..On the right track
But you were on the wrong train..Just like that
Now you won't wanna face the pain
And the devil's got a fresh new place to play
In your brain like a maze you can never escape the rain
Every damn day is the same shade of grey
Hey I still have a little bit of a plan..Still have a concept of where I stand
That concept's still in my hands..Now I really know who I am
What do I have to say
I'll definitely do what I have to do to break free
What ever happens to you, we'll see..But it's not gonna happen with me
Back then, I thought you were just like me
Somebody who could share all that I see
But you proved to me intentionally..that you would self-destruct eventually
Now I'm thinking like the mistake I made doesn't hurt..And it's gonna work
Cause it's really much easier than I thought
I wished you were something that you were not
And now this guilt is really all that you got
You turned your back and walked away in shame
All you got is no memory of pain
Nothing makes sense so you stare at the ground
I don't hear your voice in my head when everyone is around

And just like the fate of Colin Sullivan..

Karma works, what goes around comes around

Believe me

BROS OVER HOS
