Craving Popiah

2006-12-08T21:38:00.000+08:00

_ A sudden craving of popiah brought me to the Dunman Food Centre.

_ After that on my way to take bus 16 to town to meet James and OKX for dinner and pool (which lasted 5 freaking hours), I came a cross this church. Maybe it was the lighting, I felt compelled to take a photo of the Bethesda Church At Katong.

_ Emergency Exit.

VW Beetle Vectorised

2006-10-21T22:44:00.001+08:00

_ I have been putting this off for a long time now. By "this" I meant vectorising daily objects such as the vintage VW Beetle. By vectorising I meant tracing it in Adobe Illustrator or other such vector softwares.

_ Today, I did just that. Below is the step by step illustrated show and tell of what I went through for the past gruelling 12 hours.

_ First hour:

_ Doing the easiest shapes first. Here's the next three hours:

_ I was tired of just doing shapes so I did some shading as well. First to the headlights then the door handle and I added colour so it wasn't so boring to look at. Of course, after sometime I grew tired and was too lazy to save all the steps. So, here is the final product:

_ Although not shown in the above images, I had the 50% reduced opacity photo of the Beetle underneath my artwork all the time.

_ Here are some close up details of the vectorised Beetle:

_ Basically, this is just a small part of a bigger series of self-training sessions I am putting myself through for the next two years. Hopefully, I will be good enough in the end even my beloved government wants me to do some of their work!

_ Here check their number one hit single, I Don't Feel Like Dancing, out.

_ If you don't feel like dancing after hearing this song then you must be a spammer!

300 Trailer

2006-10-09T21:30:00.000+08:00

_ If you read enough of my blog, you will know that I am a Frank Miller fan. So much so that people should already be shutting me up about how I am a Frank Miller fan.

_ One of Frank Miller greatest works, artistically, 300 is being made into a movie and its amazing new trailer is out.

_ It is really a huge testament, to how revered the Great Artist is, when two movies are styled exactly from the pages of his Great Works - the other being Sin City and soon Sin City 2 with Angelina Jolie.

_ Here is the trailer.

_ Or go for the Quicktime version.

Bumped Into Blinkymummy... Almost!

2006-10-04T00:51:00.000+08:00

_ Should gone eat and blog about this restaurant called Chao Zhou, a Teochew porridge place at Jalan Kayu. Otherwise, could have bumped into Blinkymummy on monday.

_ Instead, Keith and I went to consume our lunch at the makan place beside the carpark and didn't even blog about the chicken nasi Barney.. ops.. brani.. I ate! (It was okay only. No big deal.)

_ Of course, she probably went for dinner lah. Nevertheless..!

Stairway to Anywhere

2006-10-01T16:53:00.000+08:00

_ I bought - the traditional way - Led Zeppelin's double disc album, Physical Graffiti, about 4 years ago, and only a few months back I started to play it.

_ Now, I am hooked. I even bought the famous IV (or whatever you wish to call it) album.

_ In it, of course, is the widely considered best rock song ever, which I agree, Stairway to Heaven.

_ Yesterday, I found out it is, also, one of the most controversial song ever!

_ If you reverse one part of the song:

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

_ It will become:

So here's to my Sweet Satan.
The one whose little path
Would make me sad,
Whose power is Satan.
He'll give those with him 666.
There was a little toolshed,
Where he made us suffer sad, Satan.

_ Check it out here.

_ More songs with sublimal message here.

Punggol?

2006-09-30T23:15:00.000+08:00

_ I was there but I still don't know where it is.

Squarish Blocks

2006-09-25T10:05:00.000+08:00

_ I was searching for directions to The Singapore Mint at streetdirectory.com.

_ Then I was asked to click for the satellite image.

_ Sure, this has made me a bit clearer on how the roof of The Singapore Mint looks like but how much better it is compared to the squarish blocks from the first image? Ah ha!

Punctuality = Responsible = Coolness

2006-09-24T21:42:00.000+08:00

_ I love being punctual. Being punctual has a lot of perks. For example, you will have plenty of time to check yourself before you meet people. It pleases people too when you are punctual or, even better, early. And, I love it when people are pleased.

_ Men has to be punctual. Otherwise, one could easily be interpreted as unreliable, clumsy and lazy. Especially, when it is work-related. If you managed to incorporate your timeliness to your daily life, you will get no problem at work. It works both ways nicely.

_ Women are okay. They are not expected to be punctual as much. That is under the conditions that A) they not feminists and B) don't demand "equal rights" from men who are mostly on time. Otherwise, they're just A) plain old hypocrites and B) deserves to be old maids.

_ It's like the opening door for the ladies rule or giving up your seats rule. If they expect something like that, don't give us the sexist bullshit. The bottomline is: Equal Rights means Equal Everything otherwise Shut the Fuck Up.

_ Back to punctuality.

_ I have friends who are notorious for lateness. I have been advised to plan my time around their notoriousness. But, I can't. I am a responsible person. And being responsible is cool.

_ If everyone is as responsible as me, there will not be as much unwanted babies, STDs, wars, suicides, global warming, baby seal bashings, military coups, missing open goals and many many more other devastating consequences.

_ Therefore, punctuality equals responsible equals Coolness. I rest my case.

TA MA DE SI JENAS!

2006-09-23T21:55:00.000+08:00

_ 'Nuff said.

Singapore Got Culture One, Okay?

2006-09-21T01:57:00.000+08:00

_ We, Singaporeans, are very strange.

_ We'll never know where to stand on the escalator even though we've been informed. The authorities must have relented since I don't see the stickers, which gave clear instructions to stand on the left, anymore.

_ For me, I tend to follow the person infront of me. This is to allow the person standing behind me to go ahead.

_ Unless he/she is an asshole who loves to stand in the middle and don't you just want to mentally eviscerate them and those couples who block everyone behind them by putting on their cute show of sweet lovin'.

_ But, I digress.

_ Now, normally, the person standing infront will stay still however there are people who will, seemingly considerate, sense me at the back, side step and allow me to pass.

_ The thing is I am not the one who is in a hurry to up/down the escalator, it is those at the back. Hence, we will begin a dance of awkwardness, not very dissimilar to Cha Cha, stepping from one side to another and back.

_ Another funny behaviour of Singaporeans is that we never know how to position ourselves in the train. It is not just about people not moving into the centre of the cabin. By not being told, we are confused on which direction to face.
Camera shy Singaporeans nowhere to be found.

_ The handles and poles clearly are positioned in the centre, between the seats. So, obviously, we have to face the handles so as to hold on to it. But, people, strangely tries to defy logic and safety, prefers to face away from them and stand anchored to nothing.

_ Maybe, by not directing our gluteus maximus at the seated passengers, it is another strange way of being considerate. Of course, the seated ones have to contend with starring straight at your private part - or private parts, who knows these days.

So there, Singaporeans are strange. By strange I mean that's our unique culture. Uniquely Singapore.

The Why Of Will

2006-09-19T23:41:00.000+08:00

_ Why are there only 24 fucking hours in a day?

_ Why does one (ie ME) always feel fucking exhausted?

_ Why can one only be at a fucking location at a time?

_ Why is everything a fucking commodity?

_ Why does Starhub never have any cool promotions at the very moment when my contract for Maxonline expired?

_ Why, son of a bitch.

2006-09-11T15:40:00.000+08:00

Will Lee?

2006-09-10T22:00:00.000+08:00

_ I have been playing around with the idea of having an english name since I was 9 years old.

_ It seems to me, nowadays, every mother's child have an english name don't matter if they have an angmoh religon or what. Furthermore, now people are inconsiderate enough to ask if you have an english name despite the fact you already introduced to them your given dialect or mandarin name.

_ Here are some of the options I have contemplated before - and, in fact, used, occasionally, when ordering beverages at those fancy coffee shop such as Starbucks - but never really felt comfortable with:

● Ron Lee- I can't remember why did I used to like this name. It was when I was in Primary school. I have met a couple of Ron since then and I don't remember liking any one of them.

● Keith Lee- Taken by Keith of Kiefty.

● Chris Lee- I can't remember I why did I used to like this name either. That will put me in danger of copying Christopher Lee. Maybe Topher Lee?

● William Lee- Yeah, Wee Leong, William how original can you get, man? Somehow some people will just automatically coin me "William" at their own convenience.

● Guy Lee- This is actually pretty philosophical. I always thought that I am neither a man nor a boy nor a gay, therefore a Guy lah! LOLX

_ In one of my entries, I mentioned that my actual name, not Ichibutt or Hata, lacks the element of Fire. Even though when I asked the Fortune Teller if an english name would add the said missing element he replied hell no, I think I would still give a try anyway.

_ Some of you might have already started thinking of names that rhymnes with the word "fire", but no, I don't think it is that simple. It needs to have the "Omph!" factor.

_ I know those name I have considered are nice names but, no disrespect intended, they ain't as unique or cool like Kwame, LeBron, Tiger, Takashi, Antwan, Brooklyn, Beckham, Socket, etc. But, then again, probably, you need to explain why you chose those cool names.

_ I wanted Jack because I am in love with Jack Nicholson. But, people will probably think of Jack Neo first. So, I am thinking "Will". Not as obiang as William - no offense intended to all the Williams out there -, it's something need no explanation and I will need Will power if I don't have Fire (Passion).

_ Hmmm... Will Lee. It's growing on me already.

Sylvester Sim

2006-09-06T20:03:00.000+08:00

Sly rawks'x all da way! Or, rather, rawked.

_ Saw an article about 2004's Singapore Idol runner-up Sylvester Sim in the papers today.

_ Well, he is out of job now and that's really sad for all Singaporean. I bet we all loved his last release... erm what was it?

_ In any case, what will our talented singer-songwriter do now?

Basking In 80's Music Heaven

2006-09-02T10:13:00.000+08:00

_ I have just downlo.. ops, I mean I have somehow found a 4 CDs collection of Best Of The 80's somewhere. Wonderful, wonderful era of music the 80s was. Probably the best for Pop. You gotta love the sound of the synthesizers playing. It was the fucking New Wave, baby.

_ Although, most of the bands are gone now but their music is still extremely prevalent now. Artistes like Kool and The Gang, Pink Floyd and Katrina and The Waves etc are probably sitting on a pile of royalties at this very moment. Oh yeah, they have really funky names as well.

_ As for me, all the songs I heard on Class 95, which then proceed to continue spinning in my freaking head whole day long, finally have names now. Also, I can start my own station to rival Class 95 since I can simply put these songs on repeat mode and that will last me for at least a year. That's what Class 95 does anyway, right?

Paris Hilton's Paris

2006-09-01T22:42:00.000+08:00

Notice how well the "R" and "I" are stragetically placed?

_ When I heard Paris Hilton was coming out with an album, I was like.. whoa, why would anyone allow her to sing?

_ Although, I know it was well manufactured but it is really starting to grow on me.

After the Transfer Deadline

2006-09-01T16:08:00.000+08:00

_ In the office of Manchester United boss, Alex Ferguson, it was just after 12 midnight. Ferguson was just placing a call to Tottenham's Chairman, Daniel Levy.

Alex Ferguson: Hallo. Mr Daniel Levy, please.

Daniel Levy: Yes, Daniel here.

AF: Brillant, bloke. You little cunt. I read on soccernet.com that you pull off a freakin' major coup by bringing those Argentinian bollocks to Tottenham behind my back!

DL: No, you stupid naff. That's West HAM! Not TottenHAM!

AF: WOOT? Those lil'buggers got them. What the fuck!?

_ Later, Arsene Wenger, Arsenal manager, called Alex Ferguson.

Arsene Wenger: Fergie? Salut! Your buddy Wenger. Oulàlà! I was reading skysports.com and I can't believe you manage to steal Tevez from us. You fis a putain!

Alex Ferguson: No, you wanker! It's West Ham UTD and NOT Man UTD who got 'em! Arsehole!

AW: Par bleu! Oh, by the way, I need my Paris Hilton CD back.

AF: Alrighty. I say, she is hot!

AW: Shut up! I know! And, what about that Stars Are Blind song. Isn't it so cool?

AF: Like, duh. Oh, the missus is calling me. Talk you some other time. Bye.

AW: Au Revoir.

_ Finally, the excitment of the transfer window is over. COYS!

The Third Person

2006-08-29T00:39:00.000+08:00

_ Wee Leong is a smart guy. Wee Leong is so smart he almost always answers his own deep and profound questions. He doesn't gets it right all the time. That's only because he is not perfect. Only nobody is perfect. He is somebody and, soon, he will be somebody great. The reason he is going to be great is that he has a dream. That dream is to have a dream.

_ Oh yes, he is fucking humorous too.

_ To be continued...

Full Of Random Shit

2006-08-28T23:27:00.000+08:00

_ A friend mentioned that my blog is full of random shit. So here it goes again.

_ If you don't know something about someone, please ask the person in question. Don't assume. As an old army saying goes: Assumptions make an ASS of U an ME.

_ Stephen Colbert and Jon Steward was fucking funny while presenting the Emmy.

_ A friend advises another friend in a new relationship to communicate at all time. Well, guys will want to communicate to have it easy and gals just want guys to "get" them.

_ When you like a someone, you don't try to change him. An ex-colleague once said when people were saying bad things about her boyfriend. That is someone who knows who she wants and got it.

_ The only TeeVee watchable now, besides Tottenham Hotspur Live matches, is the channel HBO. Fucking good programs. There is absolutely nothing good outside this channel. Curb Your Enthusiasm, American Splendor, Napoleon Dynamite, Jerry Mcguire, Entourage, Batman Begins, etc. Some of them you have seen before but they are good enough to watch again.

_ I am full of shit right now, but its really all in a big mess. So, until next time, feel free to check out what I digg and what I think is del.icio.us. Thank you and good night.

For Your Oscar Consideration

2006-08-27T11:07:00.001+08:00

_ Snakes* On The Plane* is an entertaining movie* and clearly deserves an Oscar* for Best Picture*! Samuel L Jackson just proved himself to be the Biggest Baddest Badass Black Ever again. It's not one of those movies* where you have to think* so much and then turned* out to be all stupid* anyway. Just go* watch.

* Add "muthafuckin'" infront of word to change ratings to NC16.

A Week in Sketches

2006-08-25T13:09:00.000+08:00

My University is Great!

2006-08-20T20:22:00.001+08:00

_ Oklahoma City University is ranked by U.S. News as "Universities–Master's (West), 22".

_ Whatever that means. I don't need some newspaper to rank my school. Who cares that it got totally creamed by the other colleges and totally pee boh yan.

_ It's when I fuckin' rule, my university will be great!

In Our Hands

2006-08-13T00:30:00.000+08:00

_ From where I am standing, I see this World programmed by men. It is a joke.

_ And, where I stand is at the peripheral of sanity. It might just crack.

_ This World is consistantly developed by men past project deadlines and released with bugs and security loopholes. They sell you the upgrades later. This is a world reflected. Thousand of times over. Screwed thousands of times over. People are lead to believe we can be free.

_ Our People wear so many prefixed masks designed by homo sapiens with Y chromosome. Some can choose which mask they want to wear. Some can't as they live their lifes trudging along under the watchful eyes of the Big Brothers. As things gets progressively worse, do they know who they are in the end?

_ We should break from our enforced norms. Pay no attention to the rules made by men. Shut down the patriarchy media. Stop giving in, stand up and say what you really want. Kick down doors. All while making sure no one gets hurt or gets left behind even though casualties are expected.

_ Eternal happiness is in our hands. It is fragile but it is hope. With hope we can have a new beginning. People of the World unite and don't ruin it.

Love And Fuck: Many Questions and No Answer

2006-08-12T03:00:00.000+08:00

_ Do you feel incomplete?

_ Do you feel like you want something but just don't know what is it?

_ Do everything around you seems to be moving along just fine except one aspect of your irreversibly expiring life which tips the balance of fulfillment?

_ A friend of mine recently announced to me that he, at this juncture of his young adult life, feels that all he requires is a girlfriend. He sure knows what he needs to be complete. But does he knows why?

_ Love and Fuck. Can someone tell me the difference? Isn't what makes you head over heels the same thing as what makes you horny? Isn't the need to breed a fucking process of nature. A primal instinct?

_ A day before that, another friend insisted that he had enough of relationships. Just right after he advised me to get one. If relationship equates to Love and Love is a wonderful thing, how can anyone get enough of it?

_ I am always overjoyed when my close friends get attached. Especially, when they were like me, single all their life. You can really feel the transformation. It's little things they do that is different but the effect on the scale is big. It is when your iPod shuffled Radiohead's Knives' Out to Norah Jones' Sunrise.

_ Getting attached after a long and tedious process of courting. That is something. Right? But how long does it last? If it doesn't, that's when you ask why were they together in the first place? Convenience?

_ Speaking of convenience. There are people who barters for Fuck when they clearly doesn't need to. Prostitution is someone inventing a teleporter: You get to point B(Fuck) from point A(First Sight) without needing to draw the line(Love, Trust). Can Fuck be so addictive that it could proceed without Love?

_ And what about people who have affairs? Some people believes it's okay to have affairs as long as they don't bring them home - hence the saying: Don't bring the cow home after you milk it. What's unbelieveable is that some of these people are women. So where is the Love here for the wives, husbands and their lovers?

_ This may look like a negative view on the subject of Love. It is not. The author of this article actually believes in Love. All this entry wants to discover is: What is True Love? How does one know? You can't say: You know when you know. Many cases have already proven it wrong. Is there an answer at all? For my sake, I want to believe there is.

Be My Own Boss

2006-08-04T00:06:00.000+08:00

_ I want own a lil'shop.

_ I want that lil'shop to sell all and only cigarettes.

_ And, maybe can drinks. I know that, from experience, smokers like to be drinking something, anything, and puffing the same time.

_ You see, I'll love the feeling of choosing my time to go to work. I'll love the feeling of just sitting there waiting to collect money. I'll love the feeling of arranging and categorising my goods. Among many other things as being my own boss.

_ Cigarette will be an easy sell. It stinks and it is addictive. I'll lower my price slightly and provide a gigantic yellow box with chairs and tables so that people will travel from all over Singapore to buy from me. If they are willing to risk it and buy it all the way from JB, Malaysia, I am sure they won't mind buying from me too.

_ Of course, I will hire help - I know I'll love that feeling too. Definitely a young and pretty female thing. I know that, from experience, my customers will be mostly male and they would looove that.

_ I will, of course, resist all temptation to assert my attraction as the hunky and caring boss to seduce the young pretty thing. That is not right. Inter-office relationship would never work out well.

_ However, if she cannot resist on touching me at all the wrong places, I will respect her and do the right thing. Which is not to stop her of course. The act of stopping her might damaged her self-confidence. That is not right too.

_ All of the above is what I usually fantasize about when I am walking from home to my bus stop. Which is a 10 minutes walk. Sometimes, I will smile at my own imagination while I walk.

_ So that's it from me. Thank you and have a good night.

Naaachhooooooo...

2006-08-03T23:32:00.000+08:00

_ Since no one wants to watch Nacho Libre with me, so I go alone loh. Caught the afternoon show at GV Yishun.

_ Brilliantly funny show. If you have watched and loved Napoleon Dynamite, you will love Nacho too. If you have watched and loved School Of Rock, you will love Nacho too.

_ Talk about the ultimate underdog show, Nacho is the ultimate underdog show.

_ Please catch it before the run ends. And it is gonna end soon.

My EPL Prediction... And Balls To Carrick

2006-07-31T12:23:00.000+08:00

_ Here is my unbias prediction for the English Premier League 2006/2007.

Teams that will be in the top 5:

Arsenal
Chelsea
Liverpool
Manchester United
Tottenham Hotspur

_ These teams will still be in the top 5 due to their spending powers, players purchased and progressive methods of running their clubs. They also have excellent scouting networks and youth systems which enable them maintain a high level of consistency.

_ Teams that will be in the 6-10 range:

Blackburn Rovers
Everton
Fulham
Newcastle United
West Ham United

_ These teams will do pretty well because they have strenghtened their squads and did not lose important players - except for Blackburn which lost Bellamy to Liverpool. All clubs, except for Newcastle, have very promising managers.

_ Newcastle is here just because they have the spending power of top 5 but lack the people to run the fishbowl club.

Teams that will be in the 11-15 range:

Bolton Wanderers
Manchester City
Portsmouth
Reading
Wigan Athletics

_ These teams are here because they either have lost important players or they have lousy manager. Reading may become a surprise package like West Ham last season.

_ Teams that will be most likely relegated:

Aston Villa
Charlton Athletics
Middlesborough
Sheffield United
Watford

_ Aging players, inexperienced managers and instability will hurt these clubs. Bad. Most in danger will be Aston Villa and Charlton. Aston Villa inability to buy players and bad management are their downfall. Charlton's squad is very weak and a new manager whose record speaks for itself.

_ So, that's how my unbias prediction goes. My bias prediction will see Tottenham go second behind Chelsea with Liverpool and Arsenal coming in at third and fourth respectively. Newcastle, Bolton and Portsmouth will be relegated in that same bias prediction. Bwahhahahah!

_ And regarding Michael Carrick, here is an article that says it all for me.

Rage Against The Machine

2006-07-30T23:42:00.000+08:00

_ Gramophone at Scotts is having a moving out sale. Albums going as low as $1.00. Actually, only one album was going for $1.00. Wu Bai and the China Blue.

_ I bought 2 wonderful Rage Against The Machine albums, one Led Zepplin and one Eason Chan.

_ More on RATM later.

Masuk Come Down To Millenium Walk

2006-07-28T23:10:00.000+08:00

_ I will be manning a peranakan food store at Millenium Walk over the weekend for Flavours N Spices from 11am to 9pm.

_ The food is bagus! Fan-tas-tic! There will be nonya kuehs, mee siam and the Penang laksa. Aiyo! I only had the chance to savour the kuehs while only can listen to people raving about the laksa and the mee siam.

_ Come down and try it out yourself lah kawan. The nonya kueh sells fast! Masuk lah! So come early lah. Kamsiah!

Fart: 8 Days? There Are Only 7 Days In A Week Jackass!

2006-07-28T09:30:00.000+08:00

Blood censored to achieve a PG rating.

_ When I was still in adolescence, 8Days the magazine was my Mother Superior of entertainment news. I read through it religiously. Cut out the pictures I want. Stick it on my walls and/or ring folders. File it on my shelf according to release date.

_ Then, I stopped.

_ Although, I admit it was never entirely. I did, within the last ten or more years, bought a few copies still - I am sure it was less than ten. However, I wasn't sure why I stopped enjoying 8Days until I bought one yesterday.

_ Please-put-a-fist-through-me Faces. There are too many Please-put-a-fist-through-me Faces in the pages these days. Too many.

_ Examples? Hmmm...? Let's see: The entire Singapore Idols? Especially, the Twohill guy. He has a Please-Please-Puhlease-put-a-boot-through-me Face. A few pages later, this Hsu Chun-Mei got herself a whole page dedicated to her. I mean she has a fist put through her face literally. Yet, understandably, I am unable to sympathise her.

_ Now that I got the Borders discount coupons I wanted, I am just going to quickly pass it along to someone else.

This One Is For Myself

2006-07-23T12:29:00.000+08:00

2001 and beyond..!

_ Every now and then, I like to look back at my life and see how I am holding so far. And when a question like... say... how long does it take to get over someone? gets thrown into your face, you kinda think: It is that time again.

_ The answer I gave was six mths which was a psycho-reflex action. The actual fact is I don't know. It has been over two years and I haven't got over that someone.

_ I have never seen anyone with that much positivity in my life. I have learnt so much from her in a very short space of time. Although, we went out for a few dates, we were never together. I had way too much pride then.

_ My experience with her has brought forth a new perspective in life for me. A need to look at my past and to understand how it has formed me. It sure hell wasn't pretty. It sure hell wasn't exciting. It sure hell felt that I haven't lived at all.

_ However, I have come to terms with my past. I looked through it and still managed to learn from it. I have also come to terms with life. I don't question what life has to throw at me anymore. I embrace it. I embrace the changes and the challenges.

_ My greatest aim in life is to be able to have nothing and still be happy. Very much like a man living under the bridge and spents his days laughing at everything. That is the greatest aim.

_ Now that I have truly answered the question, I can see I am holding out just fine. The reason I haven't got over her is because I think there are still lessons to be learnt from the experience and to remember who I was before.

It's Tough Being Me Final

2006-07-22T16:36:00.000+08:00

_ I am mostly a happy person and will always be no matter what is gonna happen. I have not been living a life without experiencing or learning. Therefore, I know exactly what's the score.

_ I take any other emotions as a part of life, as aquaintances, and I know they will come and go. Regrets are the only enemies. So, I try to do whatever I want to do. The only thing I don't want to do is to hurt anyone.

_ So, I think it is tough to be people like me. Yes, I am not silly to think I am so unique. I try to tell people that they can be like me. But, you can only be me when you see through the eyes of the people like me and that's almost impossible. Likewise, it is hard to put myself in others' shoes.

_ I am Jack's relieved bladder.

_ I am Jack's lovin' it spleen.

_ This is to all my friends who are feeling a little down lately. And to paraphrase Steven Tyler of Aerosmith from their song Amazing: The light at the end of the tunnel... IS you.

_ Ah. The day, as always, is beautiful and, baby, I am going to have a cuppa o' java. A nice cuppa o' java.

_ Ah, but before I leave, I will leave with a link to a movie trailer for the movie The Science Of Sleep. Directed by Michel Gondry and starring Gael Garcia Bernal.

_ Michel Gondry seems to have a thing with dreaming/sleeping. I love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, his Radiohead music video, Knives out, his Lego music video with The White Stripes and Bjork's Bachelorette.

_ Gael Garcia Bernal is the new Pacino. He was fantastic in The Motorcycles Diaries.

_ Please go watch the trailer!

_ But it is tough when I already know what I want. Fast forward damn it!

_ I love myself too much to sacrifice for others. I want that moment where I can gather the strength to put others before me. However, I know I won't want to lose face.

_ Chicken shit.

_ Self-conflicting shit.

_ It's late and it's the half a shot of the vodka speaking, baby. Half a fucking shot of the vodka.

I Should Stop Mahjong Or Start Winning

2006-07-08T15:09:00.000+08:00

_ I am not doing well at mahjong. It isn't much of a problem when I still had a regular paycheck. Also, I can't expect the guys to be playing ten cent/twenty cent all the time. Stakes have to be raised to make it more interesting.

_ Here is the deal. I like the game and it allow me to meet my friends on a weekly basis which is great. So those are solid reasons to continue playing. But, beside not winning any money, I am losing them through cab fares and the titbits that we buy for the session. That is not good.

_ So it's time to find another activity which allow me and buddies to meet regularly or start WINNING!

Lost

2006-07-01T12:18:00.000+08:00

_ There are moments when me and me mobile phone separate ways due to unforseeable circumstances. When this kind of misfortune befalls on us, I am the one who is lost and not the mobile phone.

_ You see, the above situation is what I would consider an emergency and me mobile phone is the one with all my emergency numbers. I couldn't even call home. That's how lost I am.

_ Okay, my failure to memorise my home number is my own downfall BUT...! Waitaminute, I don't really have any excuse for that. How can one not even remember their home number. Oh well, maybe I get a tattoo of my home number next time.

First Try: Constantine

2006-06-25T22:50:00.000+08:00

2006-06-15T08:03:00.000+08:00

This persistently non World Cup blog thing is hard..

2006 World Cup Got No Lions

2006-06-11T22:00:00.000+08:00

_ This blog is officially a persistently non World Cup blog. This is not so dissimilar to the MrBrown/MrMiyagi's persistently non political podcasts, except instead of politics, this blog will not blog anything World Cup. Not even the marketing aspect. Why? Must I remind you that 2006 World Cup Got No Lions?

_ Today marked the second week without mahjong.

_ Ten days from today will be start of school. At long last, this debacle has ended.

_ Check out these ads (via PR Blog)for an US automobile company. Its totally irrelevent and hilarious. Plus, the star of the ads is a chimpanzee. Who doesn't love a monkey?

_ Buff Monster's all about street art and they have links galore too. I have been looking for sites like this one for a long time now. So, if you like graffiti as much as I do, be sure to pay them a visit.

_ Ain't It Cool News have the teaser poster of Transformers The Movie. Also at AICN is an article on Terry Gillian and his soon to be released film, Tideland. He directed the highly acclaimed scifi, 12 Monkeys. Hmmm.. Monkeys again.

_ As usual I was hanging around YouTube and was viewing some MTV Movie Awards clips when I came across Gnarls Barkley's - no relations to Charles Barkley since it is a two man band - performance of their hit song Crazy. Hip hop with a hint of gospel music. Go download... oops I mean: Go buy the album.

_ Lastly, if time permits, feel free to check out what I digg and what I think is del.icio.us. Thank you and good night.

Flixster

2006-06-08T12:00:00.000+08:00

_ It is like Friendster or MySpace but connects people utilising their love and taste of films. Review movies or DVDs and compare your opinions and ratings with your friends.

_ In a marketing point of view, this is an ingenius way to sell movies and DVDs through the word-of-mouth method. From what I know, a lot of advertisers and marketing execs are still figuring out ways to make use of the these networking portals to sell their products. I guess these are the baby steps they are able to take.

虚拟的爱 UPDATED June 12

2006-06-06T22:00:00.000+08:00

_ Currently, there is an exhibition on contempory visual communications, called 虚拟的爱 or Friction@Love, at the Singapore Art Museum (SAM). Featuring mostly artists from China, Japan, Korea, USA and Singapore.

_ Details:

Singapore : 12 May 2006 to 2 July 2006 at the Singapore Art Museum
In this era where the boundary between fantasy and reality blurs, Fiction@Love seeks to explore the concerns related to the satire and fantasy of love through contemporary artistic expressions.

_ For me, this exhibition gave me a chance to see one of Chiho Aoshima's work, called Mujina, finally. Somemore, it only cost three bucks to enter SAM.

_ On another note, I hate it when those ~~genius@SAM~~ genius@MOCA still think putting a "@" in a title or name make things edgy and cool. Can't they conceive anything more original?

Updated: I thought I had my facts right when I went over to Museum of Contemporary Art Shanghai(MOCA)'s website to check if they were the ones who came up with the name Friction@Love. It turns out that the name didn't come up in the Chinese version which I was looking at. However, it was in the English version.

My sincere apologies to the people @ SAM.

Farts: Pepsi Gold

2006-06-06T20:00:00.000+08:00

Pepsi or Pepiss?

_ When I am thirsty, the immediate thing I look for in a beverage is its artifical colouring. It has to look like the piss you micturate when you had too much sweet coffee. Golden yellow. And I know I hit the jackpot when I saw the Pepsi Gold Edition!

_ Seriously, I purchased one and consumed it. It looks exactly like urine and yet taste like cola. Amazing.

We are not asking for any particular genre, it could be anything from furniture, stationery and office equipment, to everyday items.

X3 The Last Scene After Credits -- Updated

2006-05-28T13:08:00.000+08:00

Update: The muthafuckers took the video down already.

Farts: X3: The Last Stand

2006-05-26T22:18:00.000+08:00

Psylocke (Mei Melançon, far right) is pretty cute but that's about all you gonna see of her.

_ There will be two groups of people at the end of X3: The Last Stand. One will find the show very entertaining. Another will think it as a muthafucking piece of shit that should have never been made and will be scrambling for the cure.

_ The first group consist of those people who probably never read a single panel of the Uncanny X-men. Let alone the Phoenix Saga. Thus, allowing the film makers to get away with many issues like the I-Can-Only-Be-Deadly-When-Giving-Hugs-Porcupine Man, Juggernaut portrayed as a british mutant and the mysterious disappearances of several characters from past X-men movies.

_ The second group are comic fans/geeks who, like me, cared about the characters and story. I simply could not understand how could Stan Lee and Avi Arad greenlight it. I never realised they mean it when they called it The Last Stand.

_ Roughly twenty minutes into the show, I was still like: Hey, so far so good. Then, it hit me with a shocking death scene of a very integral X-Men character. Several acts later another one. After that, I was going: How are they gonna pull that off. They didn't.

_ I can understand that they deviated from the comic because it would probably take another two more installments to fully explain the Pheonix Saga. However, I am shocked, flabbergasted to find that they decided to do a show about 1) Halle Berry's bad acting minus the boobies and 2) how to kill a good series instead.

_ At the end of the day, Brett Ratner (who is a very good action director) managed to put in entertaining scenes as well. Like, I finally got to see Ice Man in his iced form - I like the way he iced up in Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends better though. Juggernaut running through crowds and walls. Colossus throwing Wolverine into battles is intergral to the X-Men lore. The Beast's fighting scenes were nice too.

_ Oh yes. Lastly, we, finally, get to hear Juggernaut say, "I am the Juggernaut, BITCH!".

[Harry said it for me: A Review]

P.S. My cousin was telling me after the show that Marvel probably is going to a spin-off like Elektra for Daredevil. He is right. Hugh Jackman and Ian McKellan are set to reprise their roles in Wolverine and Magneto respectively. Luckily, no news of Storm: The Movie yet.

Goat Milk?

2006-05-26T22:00:00.000+08:00

Looks like I have been drinking watered down goat's milk after all.

Gratifying ass shot.

_ This appeared on the billboard next to my bus stop yesterday.

_ I think they are looking for Singaporeans who can produce pure goat milk. I am guessing female locals who are born in the year of the goat could do just that for them. So if you fit the bill, please give them a call.

_ But, seriously, how many goats they have, man? If the demands really picked up, I hope the people at Hay Dairies don't overwork the poor goats.

Eva Mendes New Movie Trailer With Ghost Rider

_ The trailer itself is awesome. I love the fact they included the sound from the Harley's engine. Check out the trailer intended for international audiences. It has got more juicy ass shots of Eva Mendes!

Opera9's Da Bomb And IE7's That Faggot Bumblebee

2006-05-24T22:32:00.000+08:00

_ Downloaded Internet Explorer 7 beta 2 recently and tried it out. Got the multi-tabs, got RSS feeds, got that new menubar and got the search field. It is actually quite good!

_ That is of course before I downloaded Opera 9 Beta 2! Comparing Opera to IE is like comparing that faggot Bumblebee to the Awesome Optimus Prime! They are on the same side and both can transform. But, put them in a deathmatch, there is no fight. Seriously, Opera's da bomb.

_ You like violent flicks like Saw? Check this DVD called the Singapore Sling! I read the review and it seems that the protagonist was nick named Singapore Sling for reasons unknown.

_ Go to the Birthday Calculator (via Lifehacker) if you want to find out useless facts about your birthday and information like how old are you in seconds (I'm 855,481,326 seconds old). Or, if you got nothing better to do - which explains why you are reading my blog.

_ Lastly, if time permits, feel free to check out what I digg and what I think is del.icio.us. Thank you and good night.

Fwah! She's Definitely Smarter Than Your Average Bear!

_ Gayle Goh. 17 years old but write with such confidence, feels like she's been around longer than 99 percent of the population here.

Excerpt:

The defence the PAP has always launched against the accusation that their salaries are too high is to say: "We must do so in order to prevent corruption." I have always found that to be a thin excuse. What, after all, is corruption? The use of one's position in order to profit illegally. High ministerial salaries simply permit the PAP to use their position in order to profit legally. A simple analogy: it is illegal for someone to shoplift a gold necklace from a jewelry store. But this thievery would be perfectly legal if we had no laws against shoplifting in the first place. One could profit in an arguably unethical manner without breaking any laws. Similarly, it would be illegal for the Prime Minister to siphon away $2 million a year. But as a politician in power, instead of siphoning it away, he simply ensures that he can receive $2 million a year in a perfectly transparent and above-board manner. That's what they really mean by the concept of high ministerial salaries removing the need for corruption. They don't need to be corrupt: we just hand over the money anyway.

_ San Antonio Spurs has gone down 3-4 to Dallas Mavericks in an overtime cliffhanger which ended 111-119. Alas, Spurs will not get to defend their title. :(

_ David Robinson was a wee rookie when I started supporting them. This year, I felt that they did not get adequate cover for the centre/power forward position. Nazr and Nesterovic ain't good enough and Horry is just too old.

_ Kudos to Avery Johnson and that bloody german shepherd, Dirk Nowitzki. Johnson knew the inside out of Greg Popovich's game and Finley guarding No-win-title-zki wasn't really fair game.

_ The damnest thing was that the game wasn't on cable! ESPN was showing some fuck golf tournament and StarSports was showing how Barcelona caned Ass-anal!

_ Sometimes, I just feel like cancelling my Starhub cable subscription. Only thing is I donche own the subscription.

Da Vinci Code Fart

_ When I read Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code, I always have this stinking feeling that I read it somewhere else before.

_ Anyway, I have also played a game based on Holy Blood, Holy Grail that is better than the Code. That game is Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned.

_ Also, I felt I have watched the movie before too. I believe it's another show by Ron Howard called A Beautiful Mind.

Aww.. Did I give away the ending?

_ But, I must say you can't go wrong with a lead like Audrey Tautou. Not forgetting Magneto - if not for Audrey, would have stole the show, Doc Ock and Le Professional.
