Christmas 2005

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I found out, after 1 long week of waiting what was my xmas present for this year from mr mimosa.

Apparently, something that has many little squares on them is an LV card holder wallet.

So happy!~ Now my wallet matches my coin purse!

Anyway, we had dinner at Fosters at Holland V (you guys should go there sometime. The ambience is great and the service is really good. It's really a fantastic place.) and then to town to have a look at the lights. Got stuck in the jam for a good 45mins...before finally making it to my friend, Esther's place for drinks and games.

Anyway, this Xmas has been a really toned down one for me...no clubbing, no squeezing with the crowd, no watching xmas shows on TV. And you know what? The feeling is really great. I really don't need to get sprayed with fake white goo to feel Christmassy.

Thank you, mimosa, for making Xmas special for me this year. :)

Ho, ho, ho!

It's just 2 seconds!!!

Was on the bus to work today...and since my office is just a 1 bus stop ride from where I board (no, it's not a feasible idea to walk to my office. I don't want to arrive at work hot and sweaty), i just sat near the entrance. And being near the entrance, I naturally would get down from the front since it's nearer.

Yes, I should exit from the exit and enter from the entrance, but it's not a hard and fast rule is it? It's like the "stand on the left on escalator" thing.

Anyway, I got down from the entrance and then this heavily pregnant woman hissed "STUPID" at me for obstructing her from boarding for 2 seconds. Oh c'mon, it's just 2 seconds man. Hitting a red light is gonna take longer and it's not like she was on a mission to save the world. Really.

I was so shocked at how venomous she was, despite the fact that she was heavily pregnant. I always imagined pregnant women as happy, blissful and kind. Not angry and venomous.

I pity her kid. She is accumulating so much bad karma for being such a huge bitch, I bet her kid is gonna grow up angry. I bet her kid is gonna drive her crazy after it's born...Can't imagine where does all that anger come from.

Aw man. Singaporeans. They never fail to amaze and disgust me.

the point of no return

Here's what I think...

HAPPINESS

To be happy with a man, you must understand him alot and love him a little.

Perhaps...but it's difficult to love without understanding. Love without understanding is generally known as infatuation. That's why you shouldn't believe it when someone tells you that he/she loves you too early in a relationship. It's all just bull.

To be happy with a woman, you must love her alot and try not to understand her at all.

Wrong. If you love someone, you will naturally want to untangle all the mysteries and find out more about her. So...as above - Loving without understanding = infatuation = no good outcome


PROPENSITY TO CHANGE

A woman marries a man, expecting that he will change, but he doesn't.

True. So far, almost all married people (including my mom) have told me that if they don't change before marriage, it's unlikely that they ever will.

A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.

Also true. Reason? A woman expects a man to change and he doesn't. Problem lies in the fact that the man and the woman are already married and so she can't dump him easily. Resourceful women work their way around the problem. If you cant change him, you change yourself. In what ways? Perhaps caring less...distancing and even extra-marital affairs? Not to say that this should be the immediate solution to any problem..I'm sure people generally will tend to try work things out first. But if all else fails, I guess it's just easier to ignore it altogether and do things you way, the way you want.


LONGEVITY

Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are alot more willing to die.

Question is, die of what?


DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE

A woman has the last word in any argument

Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

True. Absolutely. Or until the woman reaches the point of no return, upon which, it really doesn't matter what you say, when you say it or if you say it at all.

HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, 'You're next.'

They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

Ministry of Sound...My new love.

Yesterday night was the pre-launch party of MOS. So...having free passes for the event, I decided to go have a look-see even though I had work the next day. And gosh, it is really so super cool...super awesome and totally huge. I think all the clubbers in Singapore can fit in the club...plus some tourists! Haha! The minute I entered the place, I decided that Zouk's going to face certain death. (sorry, but i am going to rant about MOS for the rest of this piece)

MOS is like the mother of clubs. There's something for everyone (okay, maybe except for the Techno freaks, but you wouldn't really want to bring in that kind of crowd anyway). You could go there just to chill, and still feel totally in, totally happening and totally cool.

There are so many rooms, its like a maze...each room has its own theme and is so different from the others. I was telling mimosa (we have quite different taste in music) that we could go clubbing together, split up to different rooms and probably not bump into each other for the rest of the night, save to go home together. MOS is like all the different clubs rolled into one. The coolest ever.

There are 2 levels...the main hall i think plays a mishmash of pop fused trance fused eurodance thingy (in a good way) and then there are the different rooms on the 2nd floor. The second floor overlooks the first and there are seats everywhere. According to mimosa, the upstairs layout is exactly like that of KL Zouk. But I've never been to KL zouk so i can't confirm what he says is true. Well anyway, the 2nd floor overlooks the first and the music upstairs isn't too loud (though still very cool) and you can actually hear urself speak over the music without yelling. Smart. No more saliva in my face anymore. Haha.

There's this room called PURE which is exactly like the one you see in the Nokia 7260 ad. You know, the totally white room with the totally cool people? Exactly. And they have humongous (and its really big, I tell you. Though prone to exaggeration, this time, I am not.) giant beanbags for you to lounge on. It's so big, i think 10 people can sit on it.

And then, there's this retro room. Woah..think Austin Powers, baby! They had these really old school dance floor with a huge rotating ball thingy and flashing colored squares. Shagedelic! Retro is really the only word for it.


Then there's a R&B room downstairs..with a sort of SM feel..with steel cages and everything. Hardcore, if you ask me. Not my cup of tea though so I was out of there in a flash.


Oh...oh...and did I mention that they have an ESCALATOR in the club??

They have an escalator in the club !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah...I don't think I covered all the rooms here...but the point is, you just gotta go!

I'm just so blown. I'd kill for membership. So...who wants to go???

And I don't think S'pore is boring anymore.

For now.

it's not always about me.

Finally...some time to myself.

While it would seem rather contradictory to my noisy, irritating and peskily chirpy character...I do enjoy that occasional quiet time alone. Really.

Anyway, the last week was quite eventful. After having minor tussles throughout the week, me and Mr mimosa had our very own showdown. Instead of spending our time on Saturday partying the night away at Sentosa's Zoukout...we spent it kicking the sand and screaming at each other (okay, so i was the one doing the screaming). Amazing, huh?

BTW, I've never screamed at anyone in the face (apart from my bros, but even then really seldom) in my life so the dubious honour belongs to you, my dear, for making me lose it. I digress.

Anyway, all has been said and done and to cut a long story short..we've made up and the weather is clear again. And while I was grousing to one of my friends about how I keep meeting people who have the same tendencies that drive me up the wall...my friend then made a most interesting (and in my opinion, the smartest thing she has ever said in the long time that I have known her) comment.

She said "The problem could really lie with you, you know."

Me? Really?

Hmm...how interesting. I've been pondering over it for quite a bit now..and still beg to differ. Haha!

things we want and do not have

Humans are strange creatures. Nothing is ever good enough for us.

I only realise the importance of being healthy when I am ill. When im suffering from a splitting headache and wish to crawl into a hole and die...I constantly wonder why didn't i treasure the times when I was well? Yet, when I am healthy, being grateful for being healthy is the last thing on my mind. I just take it for granted.

Similarly, when i was unemployed (for a short stint) and felt like this useless being, I was envious of others who had a job and thought to myself how much I would treasure it if i was working. Yet now that I am gainfully employed, all my thoughts center on when is my next off day.

I sometimes wish I was single but similarly wish that I was attached when Im not.

When I'm stuck in a jam in a car with a cranky driver, I would wish I took the train alone. And yet, when on the MRT and sandwiched between people reeking of BO, I'd tell myself being stuck in a jam in a car is far better.

I believe that our constant dissatisfaction with what we have stems from our lack of appreciation for the things we already possess. If we really sat down and thought about it, we'd realise how much more miserable we would be if we didn't have our house, our car, our friends and all the other little things that make up our life.

I guess it's all just a matter of perspective...sometimes when you have everything, everything just doesn't seem to be quite enough. I guess when that happens, a major readjustment in attitude is then required.

The demise of local soccer

This is indeed frustrating. Since 1991, I have faithfully supported our soccer team, the raging and fearsome lions during the Malaysia cup days.

But the discontentment of witnessing how the players in our football team now is beginning to depict the almightly lions reluctantly reduced to frail and pathetic pussies.

Where is that spirit? How about the less than half decent FTs? To get a PR and then put on the red jersey, mimicking the school boys’ attitudes on pitch? That is so unbecoming.

Gone are the days of perfect goalies :

Then: David Lee, Adul Malek
Now: Lionel Lewis, Rezal Hassan??

Solid Defenders

Then: Borhan Abu Samah, Jang Jung
Now: Precious? Daniel Benett?

Creative Midfielders:

Then: Steven Tan, Malek Awab, Alistair Edwards
Now: Shi Jaiyi the Chinaman and the rest of the pussies

Ever-scoring Strikers

Then: Abbas Saad, Fandi, Alpachai, Kim Song
Now: Noh Alam, Erif Noh????

Damm pussies couldn’t even win Gold in the SEA-Games while the Shitty Times made them the Kingpins of Asia. Now that Aussie is in, Viduka and gang might give the pussies a good lesson.

With David Becks earning close to SGD$500,000 a week, our top pussy is merely on a SGD$5000 a mth. That explains the differences.

THE MOTIVATION and DRIVE TO SUCCEED is sadly reminiscences of the past.

As Ah Goh promised, “MORE GOOD YEARS!!”

It’s sad to say the local scholars are also more or less the same. When you have under-qualified trainers, how well do you expect their apprentices to perform? One word: CRAP.

Marlboro Tan: WE WILL QUALIFY FOR WORLD CUP IN 2010!!! YES!!!!

THE GAME: More likely to win the inter-school under 15s championship held in Jalan Besar!

Just like the local women seeing gold and proclaiming, “But mine is diamond!!!!” Local guys should therefore be reminded of paradise G. Get ya fill and forget those “diamond” Bi*****! Now there's even Paradise P!!! Thank God at least these group of foreign infulxes are "playing well".

The Masterpiece shall now be christened as THE GAME.

Thank You Peasants

THE GAME

the Art of Taichi...

I just recently got myself an N70....and realized that i do not need half of the functions found in the phone. All i really want is just 3G, a good camera, expandable memory, bluetooth and good design. The rest of the stuff really isn't quite important. Anyway, im still trying to figure out how to use it...and i haven't taken any photos yet..prob. because i've been too busy at work.

Speaking of work...I realised that i spend half the time trying to cover my ass. Well...figuratively speaking, of course. It sucks big time when your boss tells you to do one thing..and when something goes wrong, it's your fault for not exercising initiative. It's such a lose-lose situation...and I hate it.

Anyway, I think i'm getting more used to work now...though I still don't like it. More used to the Monday blues, the long working hours, the stress and the stupidity of some of my clients. Sometimes I just feel like I'm performing slave labour. But then again, I probably have yet to master the Art of Taichi and hence the reason for being the one to be doing the shit. I dunno...guess I just need to pick up the skill faster then.

The thing that really annoys me is that we are brought up by our parents and teachers to be good, honest and hardworking. Yet, in the real world, none of the above applies if you want to be rich, successful and stress-free (read: happy). So the bottom line is...it pays to be a bitch. You just have to be one to get what you want. Sounds bad? Well, it's proven to be true so far.

Damn.
