young men are too drama, old men are too jaded

Such a lovely title isn't it? Something of the sort where we can imagine collection of short stories, from love stories to the not-so-love-story.

I just realized that I haven't updated much here, and sometimes I wonder what is the purpose of a blog afterall these days. When I was much younger (refer to my 2001 posting for reference), I used to blog a whole lot more, and I remember that this blog is like a diary for me, for me to pen down the goings in my life, so that I can remember. I still remember this "code" that a blog is as much like a bedtime diary just that people can read. I also remember arguments we had (Alanna and I and others) have over other people's issue with our postings; essentially they had issues with what we said and I remember telling those people that if you don't like what you are reading, then stop reading it (like Duh!)

But as I grew older, I (well we actually) bought a real paper diary in which I pen down my most most personal thoughts, thoughts and feelings which I am starting to think that people should not and need not know about, as opposed to some other thoughts and feelings which I think can be shared. Its like there are things which I want to tell all my friends, and I would love to say it to them, but sometimes repeating it is quite tiring.

Then there are other reasons such as the issue itself, and public viewing. And as I am typing this, I think of times when I think of how to disguise what I am trying to say such that it is obvious but not obvious enough.

I am going to continue to blog, especially when my interest to 'bitch' about certain topics is still alive and burning. I am really starting to think about how much change one goes through as we grow and mature. Our personality stays the same but manifests itself in different manner. So what am I trying to say here?

Young men are too drama and old men are too jaded!!

Yeah I Dunno Why I'm Feeling Kinda Blue

Yeah I Dunno Why I'm Feeling Kinda Blue

We sailed over seven seas
Won't you let me catch you fall
What are you looking at
I'm ms american dream since i was 17

Goodnight sweetheart its time to go
When you beat on that drum
I'm trying not to stare
Some say the heart is just like a wheel

Mystery the moon
Who made up all the rules
And even though the moments passed me by
Dad your boy is about to fall

It's hard to remember how it felt before
There's another world inside of me
This is where the summer ends
If I am lost for a day try to find me

Lovin' you is easy cause you're beautiful

You're asking yourself what's real

Wait in line till your time

How can I tell you what I'm feeling

#######

Damn cool right? How did i do it? Put your mp3 on Shuffle and write the first line of the next 20 songs. The 21st song will be the title. I only used english songs! Amazing how this actually conveys how i feel!

The Man Who Can't Be Moved

The Script - The Man Who Can't Be Moved

Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag not I'm not gonna move,
Got some words on cardboard got your picture in my hand,
Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am,
Some try to hand me money they don't understand,
I'm not... broke I'm just a broken hearted man,
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do,
How can I move on when I've been in love with you...

Cos if one day you wake up and find that your missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

Policeman says son you can't sit her,
I said there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year,
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows,
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go.

Cos if one day you wake up and find that your missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

People talk about the guy
Whos waiting on a girl...
Oohoohwoo
There on no hole in his shoes
But a big hole in his world...
Hmmmm

Maybe I'll get famous as man who can't be moved,
And maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news,
And you'll come running to the corner...
Cos you'll know it's just for you

I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved...

Cos if one day you wake up and find that your missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
[Repeat in backgroung]

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag not I'm not gonna move.

I WANT AN IPHONE~!!!!!

I WANT AN IPHONE!!

I want the 3G 16gb one, anybody, 2nd hand selling??!?!

Take my hand, I'll take the lead

DAMN FUNNY AD!!

I will follow you into the dark

The car's backseat

it takes very little

for us to realize how much someone means to you, and it takes even less for you to know why you loved that someone so much in the first place.

The Lucky 800 post, but its basically bitching...

about a lot of things.

I mean ARGH!! i am such a control freak. but how does one help it whenever I don't do as much, or control is as much, then things become sub-standard. There's really only so many people I can trust to let things go as they should and still have know that it will come out right.

Nothing really specific but more generic reflection of my personality. Friends have said I should loosen up, perhaps. Oh, but I am such a bitch some times! Its like I can't control the boiling feeling inside when things are sub-standard, or you know that things are happening that will have adverse effect when all that needs to be done is to shut up, move people away or do everything by myself. At least I can be sure of the quality, and if it sucks, then its all my fault, cos I suck (which incidentally i noted to ayline, mark and choo yuan that i indeed suck at many things!!! HAHAHAHA)

LOOSEN UP kiezin, don't be so anal retentive, take it easy and breathe!!

drooling over

The new Macbook Pros!!!! omg they are like sexiest thing alive. the build quality is sooooooo good (from one solid brick of aluminum) feels like its build by the aerospace industry.

and the new LED cinema display, that is the future of the new desktop!! Go home, plug in your laptops to the big screen LED (which also charges up your laptop, so you really only need one powerpoint) and when you're ready to go, just unplug the laptop. WOOOAAHH!!

Did I mention they are all LED display?!?!

2nd half of the semester

The 2nd half of the semester is always filled with ridiculous amount of work waiting to be handed in. Its always a punishment for lazy boys like me.

So i did manage to see someone for our 2nd anniversary!


This was the funniest thing i saw, i was kinda thinking that guy is damn cute, then lo and behold!! the billboard above


Trying on some bags..


I don't really know what i was doing.... so..




The customary cute food pic, yes my eyebags, someone kept me up all night looong

waltzing into our 3rd year

i can't believe that we've been together for more than 2 years already. monday was our 2nd anniversary; there was not much fanfare there but yes.

the boy was ridiculously sweet and it has just been the most amazing. have not been happier and definitely the best so far. i mean hey for the past 9 months, we've had 2 bigger quarrels, not too bad aei.

here's to 2 and for the many more to come.

=)

more post because alexis says so

alexis has been bugging me, you know how she's such a bugger right, so i am blogging more.

you guys just know that the rant about public transport is coming up, but that will be done later. right now, i can't get over how absolutely dazzling the new itunes visualizer is, i want to share it with all of you!!

voice of no reason

recently, while on an atheist forum, i encountered a very strange person arguing against evolution and proving the existence of god. what i found overwhelming was the use of ad hominem defense for any argument leverage against them, and if we give any evidence for evolution, it would be refuted by a statement claiming that its a circular logic without proving anything. so fine so be it. we then ask them to prove the existence of god.

what truly baffled me was the use of the existence A to show that without the existence of B, there would not be A. this is a fundamental fallacy in itself.

the reasoning goes as such, there is the existence of a golden ratio. if there was no existence of god, how can there be a golden ratio. hence since there is golden ratio therefore god exist.

this is a very fundamental logic error that we humans are very prone to fall into. one must first establish that because of the existence of god therefore there is a golden ratio first for the above logic to stand, if not we can simply substitute the logic above with anything and it will still stand.

for e.g. there is the existence of a golden ratio. if there was no existence of Santa Claus, how can there be a golden ratio. hence since there is golden ratio therefore Santa Claus exist.

or even less subtly, there are poisonous apples in this world. if there was no Cinderella, how can there be poisonous apples. hence since there are poisonous, there are Cinderellas

And the weirdest thing is that this poster was obviously  out for a verbal sparring without even wanting to listen to anything posited, hence i said to the rest of them, there's no need to give any scientific evidence at all, since nothing will be believed.

Their research method seems to be:

1. Hypothesis - Evolution is wrong (or [insert random event] is wrong)

2. Methods - Check the Bible

3. Conclusion - Evolution is wrong / right depending which denomination and country you come from / [insert whatever the Bible says]

Critical thinking?

besides hot guys

Besides hot guys (1), what have i been up to?

mostly i have been keeping up with school work and that is making me busy enough.

I was just having a conversation with amy that day, and she noted that she wasn't feeling particularly motivated in school. But for me, i am feeling one notch lower, i feel unmotivated. (note the fine difference between not particularly motivated and unmotivated).

It just appears that there's this certain air of gloom surrounding year 4s, i saw it in my seniors and i wondered why, and now i am feeling it for myself.

i am almost very sure that i had enough of school and i don't want anymore of it. i am ready to be an adult and to go out there and rule the world!

1. and by hot guys, i don't mean that i have been sleeping with them!!! i have been exercising my eyes on the web

hot guys for you to drool!!

hahahaha feast your eyes out!

So sweeet

Isn't this just the sweetest?? =)

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
