+ Don't Ask me about Batman +
Whoever asks me if i had seen Batman Begins is gonna get the same enigmatic answer... i've watched half of it... "Why half?" Thumps the predictable response... so i tell them "cos Plaza Singapura burned down". Yes, i was caught in the horrendous PS fire of 2005... the worst diaster since the Hotel New World collapse. A once tranquil shopping centre was transformed into a heaving mass of humanity in the throngs of absolute panic. Smoke and flames engulfed the premises... everyone in cinema 4 burned to death... including the rush of heartlanders who immediately ran into the cinema, checking the bodies of the dead for lucky NRIC numbers to be used for 4D. I had to save the women and children first... so tough luck for the guys... personal tally is 46 women and 0 children... my greatest regret is not being able to save more women... damn... People were jumping out of windows rather than be scorched to death... the lucky ones hit fat, pampered, maid-beating "little emperors"...and survived with bumps and scratches... Oh well, better them than the industrious commoner. Strange how people are not born heroes but have the situation thrust upon them. Ask me about the video, only for those with a strong stomach. Chaos and frightful scenes of desolation evrywhere... there were even a couple of twins who were rushed out halfway thru a hair-dye job! O the humanity! Fortunately i was able to get a refund on Batman Begins a few hours later at the ticketing booth. Cheers! *raises wine glass, surrounded by 46 fawning women*

+ 2005 youth camp +
Youth camp at COGS was killer fun. Considering it was a minor factor in my decision to quit me job.... it had jolly well be fun. Here are some key highlights not soon to be forgotten. Day 1: Sentosa's Palawhateva Beach... games lineup included ice breakers,telematch, captains ball, beach soccer. Easy formula-- bunch of hyperactive teens + large body of water nearby = No one's staying dry whether they wanna or not. 1st victims: Ben spears Wei Xuan into the sea while he was fillin a bucket to drench Ben. Death without dishonour man, both soaked. 2nd: Beatrice tries to push me in... so i throw her in...hehehe... 3rd: Beatrice recruits the a posse of girls to throw me in... they pushed me at an amazing 3cm per minute... so i taunted them, smooth move.. they dragged me in by the feet.. i left a noticably long trail in the sand where my fingers grasped in futility. 4th victims: they prompty turned on each other. Vicious creatures. 5th: Joshua had the nerve to utter the words: "im hot". That translates to: "Come get me, losers!" Night in the church, truth or dare till 1.30 am... Joshua n Isabel always kena... must be a serious case of karma... i wonder who they murdered/raped. Day 2: Church field was waterlogged from rain the night before... and we had to have water bomb fights there... Wei Xuan donned a water resistant trashbag outfit... so we taupok'ed the wise-ass into the mud. And prompty turned on each other (what a loving church we have). Only Wei Qiang went in with a willing diginfied manner when he knew his fate was sealed. The weight of my tee tripled due to mud. Guess there's a first time for everything. Movie night: I finally got to watch the Incredibles, pretty darn impressive. Nightgames (police vs terrorists) all through the neighbourhood... one wonders how no real police showed up to stop the fracas. Day 3: Mc Donald's breakfast. My turn to play guitar, lucky i decided against staying up the night before, or i would have passed out during worship/quiet time. I heard some stayed up till 6 or 7 the next day playin continue the story and singing medleys. Insane. Saw many new faces taking up leadership positions this camp. Phoebe + Janice (Camp ICs), Wei Xuan + Clement (Games ICs), Joshua + Alvin (Worship Leaders). Whoa... Im feelin old, they gave me an overseeing role and Security IC. Oh well, no one lost valuables so i guess i did me job. Cheers! See u next youth camp! *raises wine glass*

+ the name game +
Whats with weird names hoggin up the headlines nowsadayz? Do we people have nothing better to do than have beef with names we never heard before?? Whats in a name? a rose by any other name is still a rose... But as future parents we have a responsibility not to give our kids shitty names... that includes surnames dude for all you traditionalists... the future generation does not deserve to be mocked just cos u think "Herbert" sounds cute on a baby... he ain't gonna be baby for long... on a related note... i once knew a "Napoleon Tay"... not tasteful my frens... Hell, you guys shouldn't complain much if your name sounds bland... all names have a deeper meaning... at least they don't sound like crud... i can build a whole soccer team outta cruddy names... Coach: Jose Pekerman (Argentina) Physio: Giovanni Baldi (Italy) 4-4-2 formation striker: Paul Dickov (Scotland) striker: Joseph-Desire Job (Cameroon) left wing: Bayraktar Ufuk (Turkey) right wing: Bastian Schweinsteiger (Germany) midfield: Papa Bouba Dioup (Senegal) midfield: Nicky Butt (England) Defender Left: Razvan Dinca Rat (Romania) Defender Right: Olivier De Cock (Belgium) Defender Centre: Danny Shittu (Nigeria) Defender Centre: Song Chong Goog (S.Korea) Goalkeeper: Shay Given (Ireland) sub1: Frank Lampard (England) sub2: Diego Placente (Argentina) sub3: Dick Van Der Bent (Holland) sub4: Matias Jesus Almeyda (Argentina) sub5: Robbie Fowler (England) Hey i think this team can still win the S-league. Hell, even the English Division 1. Think about it, i even got Jesus as a sub. Enjoy the Confederations Cup people... it'll help ease the withdrawal symptoms until the EPL season 05/06 starts. Cheers! be grateful for ur name! *raises wine glass*

Then Wei Xuan lost at black jack... so we taupok'ed Joshua again...hahahhaha! only this time his mom barged into the room and caught us in the act. Two words: Utter Pandemonium Feel free to ask me about the video...hahahhaha... k700i always comes in handy. On a seperate note, unrelated incident.. i believe in live and let live... don't impose hoity-toity ideals upon me and i'll leave u alone too... u dictators who think u know whats best for society... get a life and stop worrying about other people... its not as if they're living immoral lives right? Worry about me once i burn down a village, rape the women and kick a hamster or somethin... Chill... there are always better things to worry about, u ain't gonna run out of those any time soon... *raises wine glass*

+ New old stuff +
I really liked the tv commercial with the 2 africans rushing out of the hotel to play with the snow outside... then the words "When was the last time u did something for the first time?" popped out. I forgot the product they were merchandisin though... hahahha... Trying out a new experience? i'll all for it... albeit on a smaller scale these past few days 1.) Found a short-cut between my house n Bedok MRT within cyclin distance. Turns out is called Figaro road. Seriously. Pretty terraces along the way fuel capitalist bourgeosie ambitions. 2.) Tried a weird flavor from Peel Fresh. Blackcurrent n raspberry n aloe vera bits. It had expired by a day. (aren't i living life on the edge?) Really funky taste. i highly recommend it. 3.) Watched "Bang in a Can All Stars" at Victoria Concert Hall. Feelin all arty-farty. 4.) Walked from Fullerton Hotel to Suntec at night. Really beautiful scenery. i pledge to night cycle the whole riverside one day, before i die. Anyone wanna make bookings? i ain't gg this one alone u know... 5.) Borrowed a book on Kempo. A fighting style from Okinawa. Labelled as being too dangerous to be made into a sport. Hell, i understand why.... it advocates shots to the groin and other "pressure points"... but hey, in self-defense, anythin is fair game. Learnt that in St. Patricks... life was rough. 6.) Bought a soccer ball. An instant hit with the dudes at church. Partially because its a Nike T90... Partially because its a striking yellow and blue. Funky with a capital phunk. 7.) Block under upgrading, but thats old news...racket from drilling is forcing me outta da house more often though. Can't wait for NUS life... one new chapter in the making... to start afresh. ahh..smells goood...cheers! *raises wine glass*

+ back to the issues that matter +
Beatrice has been going on and on about poor guy behavior, despite my absolute unwillingness to defend the actions of my so-called "fellow men". Its like she's beggin for a fight or something. Sheesh... i don't believe in obligation. If these guys wanna cheat on their girls or think with their plumbing every 6 seconds a day, don't come to me for sympathy. If any of me buddies broke up, i'll support their actions when i deem it supportable, not cos i'm obligied to. And i'll never be an apologist for cheats and infidelity. U want out of a relationship, u tell her like a man. U don't go smoochin behind her back. i am not perfect and therefore i don't seek perfection in others. But seeing as these imperfections exist and we would do well to improve ourselves, i'll say girls ain't free of fault either. 1.) Girls fear drama in their lives. They watch it and what they see scares them shitless. They are terrified of having to deal with that stuff in real life. If they want out of out a relationship, u can count yourself lucky if they tell it to your face. Its the only fair and honourable thing to do, but chances are they'll chicken out and u'll find out via a third party or your own deduction. Looking for closure? u'll be lucky to find it from her. Lookin for answers? Nadah. 2.) Girls can't make the first move. 40 years of feminist ideals later, and they can get seats in congress but still can't make the first move. Then they'll cry over split milk if the guy they had a crush on gets taken. 3.) Girls don't sympathize with guys. You come back after a hard week of NS and complain to a girl, u'll wish u'd stay in camp and complained to your buddies instead. She'll accuse u of being either a whiner or talking about things she doesn't understand (or doesn't want to for that matter). Admit it, we all feel for our buddies when they're down. It doesn't matter down with what. She can sympathize, its more a matter of her wanting to. 4.) Girls want to be treated like princesses. Its their ideal. Its friggin tough to live up to. One wonders why we cant treat them like equals. Petty Burgeosie brainwashing. 5.) When girls cheat, they see it as a symptom of a larger underlying problem with the relationship. Don't play words with a champion bullshitter man. U cheat means u cheat. i've had the political decency to only use the term girl, not females. Ladies will come under a seperate study. Girls are still young and have much to learn, so the all mentioned above is partially forgivable. I blog in hope that guys won't have illusions of romance being a bed of roses. And in hope that girls will wisen up. I'm no woman-hater, Eve is in fact the perfect companion for Adam. She has many qualities of her own which are rare in a man. I'll probably discuss those in future, its always good to talk about more positive things in life. Research continues. *raises wine glass*

+ Revelations +
U know those days u just sit back in a comfy chair... listen to a good tune... stare at the city skyline.. and sip a shirley temple. Suddenly your mind takes you places u'd never thought u'd go. Your brain becomes a lightning rod for new ideas. You obtain a higher level of conciousness. Then you get up and realise 99.25% of it has a high probablity of being pure, ripe bullshit. But you can't wait to tell your friends anyway! 1.) Liverpool FC has a bomoh. No team can comeback from getting thrashed 0-3 by AC Milan in the first half and then win the Champions League, unless it was preordained by the mystical powers that be. The last time they won it was 1984. That year, Prince Charles got married, the Pope died and Liverpool lost the Carling Cup to the winners of the Premier League. Come 2005, guess what happened? I can just picture that bomoh bugger, in his office next to the assistant manager's, with a funky hairdo and a dead chicken. At half time against AC Milan he sacrifices a virgin, *boom!* the UEFA Champions Cup is in the bag. That has GOT to be it.... 2.) The equator is 40076km long. With the Earth rotating on its axis turning 1 full round every 24hrs... i m travelling at 1669.83km/h without leaving this chair. i could be booked for speeding if i was in bed! (hmmmm.... that didn't come out right) 3.) Beach soccer is not a test of skill, its a test of ENDURANCE. My feet have been constantly reminding me... 4.) Red meat is scary. Cows n pigs are high in fat and they burp high levels of methane. With a few more well-timed outbreaks of bird flu n mad cow disease... my kids will grow up in a world where eating bugs is fashionable. Seeing as they have zero fat, zero burp and there's no mad bug disease. Cheers! *raises glass of shirley temple* |
