updates

I have been told to update my blog. Hahaha. its strange that i should update so much less that i am here in melbourne. but i reckon i owe everyone just a really quick summary. I have been here in melbourne for 5 weeks already, and in another 2 weeks i'll be back in sunny singapore.

Spending a lot of quality time with you-know-who, and we even went for a short trip to tasmania. it's such a lovely lovely place, and i promise i will put the pictures up on facebook. we also went for some road trips and in fact this weekend we will be going for another two road trip.

things have been quite ok with everything. work has been pretty alright, but mundane. not exactly learning as much as i would have love to, but still its a job. in other good news, i am going for my interview on wednesday with Whybin\TBWA\Melbourne!!! I am so excited and looking forward to that.

Well what i have been doing? i have been going extremely high listening to remixes!



I miss everyone! see you guys real soon and yes i will blog more

Uniquely Singapore...

In other countries, when there are massive securities lapse, such as the escape of the most wanted terrorist, the minister who's in charge will usually take responsibility in one way or another.

Only in Singapore, we do it the Singapore way.

Minister Wong Kan Seng said, "There is no doubt that Mas Selamat escaped" (....Noooooooooooo)

And of course its everyone else's fault. The guards who took too long to inform, the window, the fence. Everyone else BUT the ministry.

But of course, we're Uniquely Singapore. Its ok, our Ministers are human and they make mistakes. PAP ministers that is. BUT if you are in the opposition and just declare your race wrongly, OOOHHH that is damn grave error and you'll single handedly squander away all our reserves.

It is however ok that as the Minister of State, that you make a grievous, such as letting the most wanted terrorist escape. Yeap Singapore!

Loves me country to death

the boy insists

The boy insist that it his, due credits must be given to the sweet boy

"Missing someone gets easier everyday.
Because, even though it is one day further from the last time you saw each other,
it is one day closer to the next time you will…"

- Jem

One of those days

Today is one of those days whereby after talking incessantly to the boy, we both started to frantically - well not that frantically but you get the idea - look for tickets to any location that is in between both of us. And obviously it has to be next week or the week after because neither of us can wait any longer.


"Missing someone gets easier everyday.
Because, even though it is one day further from the last time you saw each other,
it is one day closer to the next time you will…"

He tried to pass this off as his, but i know better =p

Its still the sweetest thing nonetheless.

this time of the year

It is always at this time of the year where times get just a bit tougher. It's always at about slight more than halfway through, because its just a bit too long since there we saw each other, but yet not near enough till we see each other again.

tough times will pass definitely and in just more than a few weeks i get to see you again.

doesn't make it less tough, but i can see the light getting brighter.

mom says 1 year apart is short. i think 6 months is way too long.

=)

you know you are gay (part 2)...

you know you are gay when:

1. your bag is coveted by your sis and your mom
2. you use sister's blusher
3. you know more about beauty than your sis and mom combined
4. they need your stamp of approval before stepping out of the house
5. when you listen to kylie's in my arms, you start shaking to every single beat!!!!! with THAT look on your face

freakingly accurate

What Kie Zin Means

You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are incredibly wise and perceptive. You have a lot of life experience. You are a natural peacemaker, and you are especially good at helping others get along. But keeping the peace in your own life is not easy. You see things very differently, and it's hard to get you to budge. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

hell hole

if you're on internship like me, you might be tempted to think that i am complaining about my internship and that it is a hellhole. well actually no. I have been quite enjoying my internship actually. some days there are really quite a lot of work, but i really enjoy working with my team, they are all very nice.

then why hell hole? what am i talking about? why, i am talking about singapore here! it is getting increasingly like a hell hole. my patience is running very thin here and i am not the only one. its getting so crowded in singapore, its really making sick and nauseated even. at tanjong pagar, i could queue for like 10min to just get up the escalator. and boon lay isn't a ride in the park either.

oh what about town? what about town i say. its so fucking crowded i want to avoid it like the plague, BUT wait what else is there to do in singapore if we don't shop. ok lets to the park. why all the parks are also damn fucking pack. even with a car to drive you to some far flunk places, there will always be at least a few pockets of people at best. there is way way way too many humans. just today as i was looking at the train of human beings making their way down the escalator exiting the station, i being to think that humans are like virus. we do nothing but destroy the host (host being mother earth) ARGH.

i want to get out of singapore to a place that is less crowded. somewhere where i can have peace strolling down the streets. somewhere where i can just be alone with him.

somewhere

damn good use of media

Chinese and the little things

Because we are Chinese, we value family and we value commitment. But all too often, we are exposed to the Western notion of things, such as romantic love. When we see movies, we always see the courtship and then the leads get together, and that's it. No movies discuss about commitment, about maintaining a relationship.

As Jeth says, after being together for 5 years, surely the flame will not be burning. Passion and romantic feeling fades, 爱情变成了感情. And it is perhaps 感情 that matters more, because its a commitment. The passion becomes a sort of concern and regard, and even dependence and habit. In my opinion, I think its a good thing. Sister tells me she's worried its a habit, and I say be happy its a habit, because it means that you guys are dependent on each other for something, and that is a good thing. TV always shows these impossible ideals.

A companion that drives the lonely nights away. Someone to just come home to. To be cooking braised pork, veggies and rice while waiting for him to come home from work. And he knows that you haven't had your coffee yet. Its in all these little things that says the most. More than any big expressions.

Because at the end of the day, we all need each other for something, making use? maybe in the most technical definition, yes. But in these small little things, we see more than just that. From always making sure you are around in a gathering, to knowing all your bad habits, telling you to stop it. To the care and concern about your family.

handling my mom

Statistics from Malaysia

On the Straits Times today, page 8, they published some statistics from the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) to rebuff the HINDRAF, saying that the Indians in Malaysia are "NOT that badly off"

According to the statistics, which Datuk Seri S Samy Vellu DID not say where the statistics came from (1):

11.5% are professionals and managers
19.4% are associate professors, lecturers and nurses
22.9% are sales personnel
4.9% are agricultural wokers
9.4% are craft and trade workers
20.1% are machine operators
16.3% are elementary workers

not that bad you say? well the figures add up to 104.5% and not 100%.... hrmmmmmmmmmmmmmm well Datuk Seri Samy is quick to add that it was due to rounding errors. Now what is rounding errors? rounding errors refer to the error makes when a person rounds up or down a figure to make it more manageable. So assuming that Datuk Seri Samy did round up all the figures, to cause such an increase, lets attempt to correct it. I'll minus 0.1% from all the figures, so instead of having a rounded up figure, it is now either the correct or a rounded down figure

11.4%
19.3%
22.8%
4.8%
9.3%
20%
16.2%

and that adds up to 103.9%. WHERE THE HELL DID MIC get their statistics from????????

insomnia

i'm having a very strange bout of insomnia. i can't seem to fall asleep.

too many things on my mind, must be.

desperate housewives

while watching season 4 of desperate housewives, this particular episode really strikes a chord with me. the part where andrew decided to move out because of the following conversation

##
Orson: After two nights of sleepless bonding with my son I nearly dozed off while repairing Mrs. Colby's cracked molar. I doubt if the crown I put in will last her a year.

Bree: So, you'll replace it for free.

Orson: That's not the point. How is a dentist supposed to feel when he can't give a 90-year-old a lifetime guarantee? Bree, I'm sorry but this whole family bed thing has to stop.

Bree: Oh, give it some time. We're still adjusting, and Benjamin is sleeping so soundly.

Orson: He can sleep just as soundly in a crib. From what you've told me, you and Rex didn't haul Andrew into bed with you.

Bree: No, and I wish we had. If we did he mightn't have turned out so...

Andrew: So, what? Stupid? Lazy? Short?

Bree: I was going to say angry.
##

then andrew decided to get a place of his own. bree went to visit and was absolutely appalled at the living conditions. but andrew wanted her to know its ok, he can make it. she couldn't see that he has changed. in her eyes, he still the same spoilt angry brat. and he was trying to tell her that he only wished she's noticed he has changed. he changed his way and even got a job to make ends meet.

the show ends with mary-alice saying "by denying the past, we are condemned to repeat it"

which is why i've learnt from the past, so that it doesn't repeat, so that things can be better.
