2007

happy new year everyone,

hope this year has more to offer to everyone than 2006. Here's some well wishes and some personal notes for you guys to take home with you. No offence, just my two cents worth.

To Mark: I love you mark cause you're honestly too nice to everyone and that's why you're being abused. I try not to hinder you in anyway if i can help it so i hope you love me too. Wish you and grace all the best on your brighter future together and i hope to see babies soon. hurhur. Thanks for organizing all the dota sessions, being on time, sentosa etc etc. You're always there for us although sometimes you disappear and don't reply sms or phone calls. Dunnoe what you doing but i think playing mahjong at windy heights. I hope you do better this semester in school and continue to rock cathay ben and jerry's. I'm your most loyal fan pls remember me when you're famous. Happy New Year!

To Isaac: Thanks for hosting the party with us even though you were not there 50% of the time. Wish you all the best in your studies in NUS and hope you do better this semester. You can come on down to SMU to study anytime you want, though i think you'd prefer bukit timah campus. I wish you all the best for your relationships, not only girlfriends but all other relationships as well. Remember, when something you are doing something you don't like, repeating it ten thousand times won't make it better (IE clubbing, dota etc..), especially when you repeat it to someone who enjoys the thing you're not enjoying. Stop blaming the dragon knight when he dies cause it's not his fault, neither is it the CPU or the monitor or the mouse or the keyboard. Stay chill and have a great year ahead!

To Zhiguang: Fuck you Cb stop scolding me.

To Cai: I wish you all the best in your Sailing and other sea activities. I hope you get into S.E.A. games this year(?) and bring singapore home a gold! Then you won't be financially dependent on your parents anymore. At least less dependent. Don't be so stubborn sometimes, sail the fucking 5 man boat for a change. I hope you find the time to learn your driving as well, and just finish it up. Then you can drive your other half home. (read: i don't wanna send you home anymore) I also wish you all the best in your studies, and i promise to study with you in SMU and not jack you about coming down. You've been a great friend and a great demon witch. All the best for your relationships as well, the doors that have opened for you and don't dwell on the doors that have closed. Be civil to your dad and eat your vitamins and fruits your mom gives you when you're leaving the house.

To Greg: Here's wishing you all the best in your relationship(s), and please make sure you know what you want for certain before investing your time and effort. I hope you find the one you're looking for and settle down. Thanks for being there for me when i'm down and out, and thanks for being reliable at all times. Please learn to be a CB and stop that mediator shit, it doesn't work anymore. It's been a great year especially the times in new jersey and the long tiring drives. Work hard next sem and don't let anything distract you. Don't be sad about bourbon, i'm sure he's with scamper(and lucky) looking down on both of us.

To JAY-AYECH: Wish you all the best for the new year and retain your uber mega high GPA(grade pt average/girl pt average). Thanks for being genuine when helping your friends. Like helping me with my resume and FA among other things. Try to think more for your friends in the future, in terms of making them go out of their way for you so that they can suit your schedules. Also try to be less sensitive because after all we're all really good friends and there's nothing that can't be talked about. I wish you all the best for your relationships this year, and i hope you find the one you're looking for as well. I hope work at dragonfly opens your eyes to the real world out there and cements your ambitions. I also wish you all the best in your future internships with the big players.

To Ian: Here's wishing you a great year ahead (i dunnoe how many different ways i can say have a great year but i'm trying ok) You're a good friend to talk to sometimes about relationships and studies. I hope you continue to do well in school and may you get dean's list this sem. I also wish you all the best in your relationships and i think you need to settle down. Please start your driving because it's annoying everyone. i don't mind sending you back but only if you're putting in effort into learning to drive. Also try to make the world revolve around you less, in terms of favours from friends. Remember we're all good friends and will genuinely help one another if one another is in need, but once that's being taken advantage of, the animosity will build up. None of us owes each other anything therefore try not to take things for granted. Also, try to take more initiative in organizing things. anything in fact, ranging from dota sessions, creating dota games, hosting parties, sentosa etcetc. You're honestly a great friend to have and i would like to keep this friendship. Thanks for being a dota dictionary. i really had no idea that counter helix was triggered on "every attempted attack" and i didn't know enigma could blackhole with lothars.

To myself, this year has been a great year with many new experiences. Good friends there for me like TEG(everyday that i get older is one more day i think how retarded TEG sounds to strangers. Especially when it doesn't consist of people from the east). I enjoyed all those DVD nights with the boys and the girls (lamsters and leesters). I'm also grateful for all the friendships made this year and i wish all my friends a happy 2007. I wanna thank tiffany for all the jacking she had to put up with and being there for me no matter what. Although she always abuses me and makes me pick her up when it rains and makes me late for school, this friendship is really ... (insert adjective). Thanks for being with me through thick and thin and through our FA together. I'll always be here for you if you need me, after all i'm always on call to you.

I haven't slept at all so forgive me if i forgot to mention anyone important. But since you're important i shouldn't have forgotten you no matter what. So that means you're not very important. Anyway I know i scold you guys alot and i will try to scold you guys less, especially when you call me when i'm half asleep. Some of the guys are annoyed, others just ignore me. Whatever it is i'm sorry, but i really hate being awoken. Also i'm a very frank person and i don't mince my words at crunch time, so please don't hate me because i'm very very fair and impartial to everyone of you. This is something i will never change about me because i feel that when someone is in the wrong he has to know he's in the wrong, and shouldn't be pacified just so he can be happy again. Shaun isn't a charitable organization, that's why he's not nice and doesn't have a kind heart, that's why his ex doesn't want him back.

anyway i wish myself a great 2007 with great relationships with my friends and my family. I will work even harder than 2006 and start getting my life in order. No more part time student.

oh yah.

To Zhiguang: haha fucker. Wish you a great year ahead. Wish you all the best in your future relationships. Please choose your other half properly and think with the right head. Don't let them abuse you. I hope you know when someone is taking advantage of you and put a stop to it immediately. Also listen to those who matter to you when making decisions, not some USD$50 a night chick from SMU. Listen to your good friends. that's what we're here for. Thanks for the serious talks we had about whether god exists or the right to life and the fact that i can't commit suicide because i don't have the right to kill myself and also talk about relationships. You're a damn fucking great friend to have and i never regretted ambushing you at my birthday in primary 1. Just stop being an asshole to me just for the fun of it. Please brush up your dota then play on my team again. I wish you and your family all the best for the new year. I hope you do well in durham. I also hope you find that special one you've been looking for all this while. It's time to settle down and stop messing around. I'm sure if you're sincerely looking you'll find her. Good luck.

Lastly, to things that i have to let go, i pray for the strength and courage to move on, yet never forget the past, because the future may have more in store for both of us. Whoever you are who owns the world and my miserable life, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

i hate to type this. but this is how my new year started on a bad note.

ok first. i rushed down to isaac's place really late.. the clock was tickin.. ticking.. it was 1149pm.

i thought i made it. i would countdown with the guys..

when i reached isaac's place, obstacle number 1. the security guard took so damn long to record my car number and even had to call upstairs to confirm that this certain mr sim is coming. nvm. its ok, new year. nvm. time is ticking.. i rush to park my car and ran to the lift. obstacle number 2. apparently to enter the lift lobby u must have a card access.. so i had to intercom 07-18.. and at last the door opened.. 1155pm. nvm can... got 5 more mins.

1-2-3-4-5-6-7 ting. the lift door opened. i ran out and into isaac's house. a group of uncles and aunties stared at me. SHIT i thought i was in the wrong house. looked at the unit number. 0718. correct what.. then isaac's dad came and told me .. "they're downstairs by the pool".

ok. RAN to the lift.. presss down. 7-6-5-4-3-2-1-B. it was 1158pm.

ran thru the carpark and appeared at the clubhouse. a whole bunch of residents were there playing with sparklers and stuff. they looked like they were waiting for countdown.. WHERE ARE THE GUYS?! 1159pm. i called isaac.

i spotted them!! right beside the pool! but i was on the 2nd floor and they were below.. and theres no staircase in sight that could bring me down....... i almost wanted to jump. (not wise.)

1159.30pm

found a lift in a corner. got into the lift and pressed level 1 furiously.. in walked a mom and 2 kids.

mom:" i dont understand why people like to celebrate new year downstairs.. might as well go back home and countdown."

me: " ..."

tick tock. tick.

FIVE FOUR THREE noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo TWO ONE.

ok.

lift door open. i ran out of the lift.

thats the sad story of me spending new years in a lift. with a mom and 2 kids.

thats not the end.

i just got home. and got scolded by my dad cos he had to go to work and was waiting for me to get back. crazy. work on 1jan.

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!
