world class singapore

Singapore always want to brand itself as world class.

So we have world class health care. World class education. World class services. World class paid ministers. World class judges by the tv side.

Usual weekend hanging out at my salsa place. But wasn't in any great mood for dancing, so stick around watching soccers. Pretty interesting match for the weekend. Matches for the FA cup. I'm a non-soccer fans. I dunno even know who's who. I'm just watching 25 monkeys running after a small little balls been paid world class pays. At least 35 thousand human beings scream/shouting/ranting/chanting(delete where applicable) with/at/for those 25 monkeys. And this is not world class Singapore I'm ranting about.

So watching a few matches with some friends was a good way to spend my saturday nite as well. Especially you see those friends that have moolah involved in the game. Their expressions are priceless . Theirs heart probably skip a beat each time any side score a goal. That is the bad thing of buying draw. I wonder did they do a survey to see the increase in heart attacks and weaken hearts due to gambling in soccer. I'm not surprised if the results are as good as smoking.

At this nice club where we get to dance salsa and watch world class soccer on a nice big projector or 14" Tv or 42" plasma, its nice of them to throw in some world class commentors with it. Its not lap sap bar(bar frequent by dirty old man where they can pay for extra services), so we have not soccer hostresses but we get free world class commentors. Not a bad idea.

"Wah lau eh, just throw lah. Think so long for wah? Throw in front nia, not asking you to throw back into audience". "Shoooooot lah, think think think. STUPID". "Why the player dunno how to pass the ball?". "Why foul ah? Boh leh"

So its alwayz amusing to heard those comments. So I ask one of them, "why are you so excited? You got bet ah?". "No lah, interested lor". "Sorry hor, interested are only for punters" was my reply. Yah wah, you get so excited for wat? Not like you got any profit out of being so excited and putting your heart to such stress test experiment.

Wakeboarding is a nice sport. But its not so nice when you can't even get up. Not nice when you get sunburnt instead of suntan. Was trying out wakeboarding on Sunday. So when out on the small boat, I was looking at the water color, reminds me of a swamp. So I asked the other friend who frequently wakeboard if drink those colored-water, will you lau sai(diarrhea)?

Something was wrong with my technique. That is what they kept telling me and yet can't show me how. The only aching musle now are my arms, from gripping the handle. Damn. I know its the technique issue. My friends are getting shoulder and back ache and I'm the only one with arms. Damn. Technique.

The person who was giving me the guidance(not exactly the instructor but the person ...errr.. do you call that driving or riding or maneuvering the boat) was saying that its a little hard to explain but won't you get it, you will understand. Yeah rite. I also know that statement. I used that in salsa. I no instructors wor. So I only dance, I dun teach.

My arms worn out faster than I expected it unless I lost the strength to grip onto the handle. After that, clenching my hand into a fist was aching. Damn. For the 1st time, I was afraid of dropping my tray of bread while queuing. Wah Kau.

blog block

Even before I start blogging, I even ask myself, do I have the energy to blog everyday like those big names like xiaxue, mrbrown, mr miyagi.

Actually this thoughts came across my mind long ago before I even read those people's blog. Maybe I will prefer to keep my private space private. Afterall, I'm not all out for any celebrity limelight. I need a space for all my thoughts and bitchingranting, that is if I can remember my thoughts. Old fart I am.

Just the other day, a friend was telling me that she has nothing to blog. I guess she has reach this blogger's block. I think in almost all form of activities, that is some kind of blog. In photography, I ran out of ideas and inspiration and touch. In salsa, I lost the touch to shine the girls and bring out better moves.

Today's topic on the radio seems to be on endangered species. Interesting. They are debating if iguana is allowed locally. I believe they are talking abt this. That reminds me, think got a friend bought that couple of years back when I'm still serving the country doing the boys2men service. I wonder how they taste like. I wonder.

So I'm thinking, if cucaracha, aka cockroach or even more fondly remembered as ka zhua or xiao xiang, are to go into extinction, will there be a lot of concern raised? I know if ants go missing, ant-eater siao liao(in deep shit) or even ki chia(up the lorry which is also the same as deep shit). But is there a species known as cockroach-eater that I wasn't educated about? Maybe. Earth is at least 4 billions years old. I am only 20+++ (10% service charge, 5% GST, 1% cess). What do I know? I still waiting for alien to appear.

Wow! World biggest cockroach found! This is bound to send many of the females I know of into a fix, a very serious one. EEEEKKKKKKK!!!! WAH! More than 4000 species of cockroaches exists on our planet and only a handful of them chose to share our dear home. Damn. If they start invading, I swear women will extinct first, follow by men.

Die xiao qiang. DIE.

women are nothing but trouble and men are nothing but trouble seekers

Women, a common topic for an all guys kopi session.

Women can makes you so happy, and they can make you just as miserable. But can men do without women? I am not discussing about homosexuality here. I respect them. There is nothing wrong with them.

Its kinda of a really lazy sunday as well, so I met a good friend for kopi, as well to do some shopping to get my fan. Damn. I was thinking, how nice. I can sleep without the fans. The weather has been very nice and cooling for the past few nites. Wrong now. Shit man. We are now back to the blardie hot and humid season again.

Suntec is my favourite spot coz its near to me. So went to check out Harvey Norman and Carrefour. Ok, so their cheapest fan was less than $30. Fair. So even if it break down after a year, I wont exactly feel the heartache. So thought went for some kopi first, then go back and buy later.

So as usual, sit there and start gossiping away. And somehow, the topic was leads to relationships and women. Nop, ain't bitching about them. Was mentioning that Lunar New Year is coming, so likely to be hit with the questions like "got gerfren anot", "when going to get married" etc. Wah lau eh. I can bet that they are going to asnwer those questions. Its like a ritual. Siam buay kuei one, especially when more and more of your cousins are getting attached and married.

Finding a gerfren is not tough. Finding the one is. You can be chasing your whole life for that one person and it just never appears. So men has learn to settle for something within grab. Is that good or bad?

A little philosophy I learnt from watching a mainland China drama:

If a fugly girl come to u asking for a favour and acted like a cutie, you will almost agree immediately without a moment of hesitation because you want her to stop the immediately(tramatizing, you know?). However, when a chio bus come to you with the same favour and action, you will hesitate and think slowly so you can see the action again and enjoy the view longer.

How the very true. I have to agree. So next time you know why im thinking for so long about your request, it means you are pretty enuff for me to do it. *grin*

sunny singapore in a bus

It is just so amuzing for me to see someone wearing sunglass on the bus at 8pm singapore time. We are not in europe nor those countries with energy saving timezone. Unlike when I was in UK for my correspondence studies, using the daylight to determine if it is time to eat is a wrong move. Took a short nap and when I woke up, its still so bright. I still see the clear blue sky, so thinking its still early till I check the time and its 9.30pm! Mine, no one come up to my room and ask about dinner! Damn.

Please lor. This is Singapore. 8pm is midnight black. Wah lau.

Sat was such a lazy day last a long weekend. Was suppose to be meeting some friends for dinner at half past 7 and I'm still waiting for the bus. I was not late. The bus was. I waited for what seems like a millenium for the bus to come. World class SBS for you. Either they like to come at a time slot that have u chasing after it or they like to wait for each other and then come in a pack. 3 same bus of the same number coming together. Now, I think that is the success of SAF's buddy buddy system.

Ok, back to the inside the bus. This person was asking his friend, "Can you see what is ahead. Are we there yet? This is the correct busstop?". The friend goes "cannot see anything leh".

Yeah right. Of coz cannot see anything lah. Its 8pm. Its DARK DARK DARK outside. You are wearing your shades. Wow, either that shades had the advance feature of seeing in the dark and was failing to work at that point of time or that guy was an idiot.

When you got into an accident with such an idiot, you have no room for empathy. Empathy and idiocy do not go hand in hand in my humble opinion.

And indeed as with my other usual saturday late nites at my usual salsa hangout club. A friend got real high just when I am intending to leave. Damn. The clock is showing 2am. Another friend was "scolding" me when din I leave at 12, since I said over dinner that I intend to leave before 12. Wanna go home and continue my Anime marathon.

Yeah. I am also scolding myself. Anyway, I'm there already, so just gotta help that friend. But amazingly, a super high friend refuse to listen to guys' advice. Seems like a girl friend of mine gotta "lead him home by the nose". Lcuky chap. Eating the beancurd from this girl.

We had a good laff at it. We are just so bad. So it takes 2 guys and 1 girl to send a super high friend back. Nevermind the fact that its one guy helping the drunken to prevent him from been too overwhelming to the girl. Its another guy carrying all our barang barang. Its this girl that gotta coax him into going home. Wow, the power of a woman. Must be the mother instinct tho I'm 101% percent sure she is no mother.

So amazing. Must really be the nature of woman. Reminds me of another friend. A serious tigress that i know of, but when coming to handle small animals, she can suddenly become a kitten.

beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder

Happy Hari Raya Haji to all.

For the international and non-muslim crowd, here's a good explaination of what that festive is all about. Never mind the fact that its not entirely my business. My deal is that I can stay at home and watch my dear anime.

Had a little conversation with an online first when I woke up in the morningafternoon. Yeah, I dun switch off my pc. Its running 24X7. The only rest time it got is when the great singapore blackout happened or when I'm out oversea or when it decided to take long term MC.

The topic on women. A common topic. So she was telling me that she had gone for rebonding on her hair. And her barberstylist suggest to her why dun she color her hair? It will makes her look great and attract guys. Her retort back to her stylist was "in that case, they are attracted to my hair and not me".

Wow! I have to agree on that. Then does the same theory applies to makeups? Why the hell girls put on so much makeup? To attract the guys? If so, the guys are attracted to the makeup, not the face. And it can jolly well related to attractive clothes. And if it all sums up in the same theory, then may I suggest that everyone goes around in birthday suits and the right attraction will goes to you, in the right way. Then you can proud announce "she/he LIKES me for WHO/WHAT I AM".

There seems to be some pieces of information going around regarding to the very infamous Steven Lim's requirement for new girlfriend. You want to know who Steven Lim is. Do a google with the following keywords: steven lim singapore idol. I bet you that you will find where he. I'm not doing his link here. Nop, I dun. I might end up getting hate mails for giving him "undeserved" attention.

The funny thing is that it is on a couple of blogs but no one seems to be able to find the concrete evidences on his website. that puts me to think if it is his marketing strategy to gain media attention again or someone is bad-mouthing him.

So I do a little googling around and found myself some blogs and going through the links of links. He seems to have even use this (ex?!?)gf of his to advertise for his website in downtown. And the horror is that it is against her will. Poor 16 years old little girl. Poor her.

Somehow, I concluded a little maths equation after a good deal of surfing. I amuse myself as well.

poor camera skill + poor camera + poor photoshopping skill = strong benefit of doubts if the subject is chio bu or yan dao

a lesson for guys

Ok, this is not draft by me but hey, some of it theory is "not wrong" but it just bugs me.
So I think I should just add in abit of my bish cents into.
Dun shoot me if I'm wrong. Just bed me....................


Lessons i've learnt.

1. Never lose your cool to a girl, it has never helped anyting. When u discover or hear or see something you dont like, take a step back, even in times when anger prevents logical thinking, remind yourself, not to express your anger. Girls never like to see an angry man, esp when its about her.

But take in stride that if she is to lose her cool with you, that means she is considering your MORE than just a NORMAL friend. NORMAL is a big word, with meaning deeper than your ancestry roots, in a woman's logic.

2. When u see / hear / know something you dont like, dont confront her, confronting her about something which she didnt want to tell you, or something which she does which you dont agree about, brings absolutely no benefit to either party. All you would have achieved is getting your point across that u know, or what you think is right, but it will not change how she thinks, it will not make her think any better of you.

This is most difficult to do. However take it from a beneficial perspective: That you've learnt something new about this person, be it good or bad, and take time to think from a strategic perspective on how you can handle/accept these pecularities abt the person, rather than trying to change the person.

Like the saying goes- speak softly and carry a big stick. Knowing is the greatest benefit of all, others dont need to know, that you know.

Yeah boy, so when there's an argument going on, RUN n HIDE. That is how it should work! Isn't it great? If you debate over it, she will just insist you are just a chauvinist pig. If you dun, you have no mind of your own. You are just not challenging enough. So remember, woman != logic.

In programming terms :
If (woman != logic)
relationship is real
else
relationship is probably AI/fake/unreal/dream/act or you are in hell


so are u a guy or a girl or homo or bi or confused?hahaha this is quite entertaining...a read for fun meant for the open minded or bored working executives only.Don't u guys start frying your own brain ya!!A cheerful heart is a choice there always...HUMP day coming!!Cheers...

I think that probably every guy have more or less been through the below experience before :

1) Meet girl.
2) Get along well with girl.
3) Feel attracted to girl and think she is attracted to you.
4) Tell girl that you like her (after lotsa alcohol sometimes).
5) Girl disappears.
6) Call girl 999 times, but still no response.
7) Finally girl turns up and says "I only like you as a friend and sorry if I hurt you".

See see, Christmas eve is also know as 平安夜 (safe night) and it really is NEVER safe. Look at how much liqour the world is consuming on these festive seasons. So point 4 very often happens after consuming enough alcohol to make do you things you won't do when you are sober.

Ouch! I know it's painful, trust me I just been through it but you might take comfort knowing that this has happened to me and just about every guy I know MANY times.

Let me try to explain what's going on here, and hopefully help you guys and the others reading this to avoid this kind of thing as much as possible in the future. If it helps that is.

From my perspective, there are a few main issues going on here all at once...

1) Women are complex and often illogical or rather in my own words contradictary (so are men, but in different ways)

Women act on emotion and intuition more than men. They don't do the "logical" thing as often as men. Women walk into Starbucks and order a "fat free" cafe mocha, and then get WHIPPED CREAM on top. No kidding. I see it all the time...Women will go through a full closet of clothing trying to choose something to wear to the supermarket, then conclude that "there's nothing to wear in here"

Again, men have their bizarre behaviors, and I'm not trying to badmouth women... but from my experience women are usually not very LOGICAL about things... and they're ESPECIALLY illogical when it comes to relationships. Men are perfectly logical (Or rather too logical). They want to have sex with everything and everyone. Women aren't. They only want to have sex with
men who DON'T want to have sex with them. My point is that you have to put your ideas about how things "should" be OUT OF YOUR MIND. Start a new way of thinking about things based on reality and not logic.

So in simple word, next time you want to bed a girl? Tell her you are not interested in her in bed but only as a idealistic icon in your mind. That should boost things up. Logic don't work with woman most of the time. Money does.


2) Women are attracted to men for reasons that most men either don'tknow, don't understand, or won't accept.

As I like to say, "Attraction Isn't A Choice".

We don't think about who we'd like to feel attraction for, it just happens on it's own in most cases. But the thing to remember is that attraction has a pattern. It's like a combination lock or a puzzle. There is a way to create it if you know the "recipe". On the other hand, if you DON'T know the recipe, then you're not likely to figure it out by trial and error. And the reason for this again is because IT'S NOT LOGICAL.

While men are attracted mostly to looks, women are attracted mostly to character. In the above situation, we displayed the personality trait that I refer to as wussy a little too early in the game. Women generally aren't attracted to men who get too lovey-dovey and emotional too quickly. There's not mystery or challenge when you fall in love immediately. And when you call like 31 times a day, it only makes the problem worse. What you need to do in these situations is to sit back more and give her some space. Give her room to think about you and miss you. I know it works...trust me.

That is good as saying "look is NOT important". Mind you, they say it coz they don't want to hurt you. I seen and heard it a 100 times and it dun works a 100 times. Don't believe girls who say them. It mostly shit. Trying hooking them up with a very charming character-ed fugly looking fart and see how they react. So be practical. Just say "as least I dowan to scare myself off the bed". That is simple and practical enough.

3) The way that women communicate isn't always as "direct and straightforward"; as most of us guys would like.

If a woman wants to tell you that she isn't interested in you in a romantic way, she'll often NOT tell you as her way of telling you. In other words, she might just disappear for awhile. Or she might not return calls quickly. Or she might talk about other guys with you...basically, again you
have to put the concept of pure, rational logic out of your mind when it comes to the world of attraction.

Women are subtle. They read into things and try to tell you things indirectly. Women don't generally take what you say at face value. They want to know what everything REALLY means.

If you meet a girl, and after the first date you say "I really like you, you're beautiful and I have feelings for you" they think you said "I'm a Wuss because I fall in love too quickly". On the other hand, if you say "Good night, give me a call sometime" she'll think you said "You were kind
of boring, and if you want to talk to me again you're going to have to call me".

There is no exact thing to say, but just think like a woman before you say it out. At least you try to get most of the grounds covered. It helps A LOT.

So don't ask her word. Let her buy you dinner. A woman who dowan to buy you dinner is going to be expensive on the long road. Chasing the skirt is like fishing. A fish on the hook dun mean you can immediately pull the line back hard. It might snap. Know when to throw in the line and then pull it in again. Same theory. Of coz if she wilingly swim to you, then its a totally different theoy.

4) It's difficult to un-do one of these situations once it has reached this point.

Unfortunately, once a woman has "made up her mind" about a guy, it's usually VERY difficult to change that mind.

If you're in a situation like this where a woman has said "I only like you as a friend", then you're best off going out and meeting some other women, and getting on with your life immdediately! I did. Don't wait. Get on with it.

If you disappear from her life, then turn up a month or two later... and you're dating a few other attractive women... she might see you in a new light.

Jealousy is a very powerful motivator to women, and this is often what it takes to get a woman to see you in a new light once you've let out your wussy self too early in the game.

Don't try to un-do it. Just get on with your life and quit obsessing over her. Even if you can help yourself, dun let her know!


I can't agree more on this. Let it go. The world has many trees. Go find some other trees. But of coz this is easier said than done. Me ain't even using much of those shit myself but me knows it the right path. But who is to decide the left path? Who?

Latest statistics for Singaporeans. The population seems to inclining towards the female anomaly, so guys, take your pick.

arty farty technology

Technology has come a long way since the first computer was built. It is considered one of the "youngest" industry. Anyway that is 5 years old in IT can jolly well be considered old. And I remember one of my lecturers was telling us about some mathematical problem that was only solved in recent time and he is referring to 50 years ago! And that is recent for maths, since it has some few thousands years history.

"Porn could decide DVD format battle" is an interesting article. Porn is helping you shape your technology. As I believe, the oldest industry and ever blooming industry is the sex trade. So next time you caught your hubby/wifey/beau/significant others/mister/missus surfing or watching porn. Don't blame them. They are helping the world to shape technology. They are doing their part hor! Who say porn does no contribution to the world??? They also helping Singapore produce to get sexually active hor! More active, the more chances got babies, no active, no babies for you.

After the email storage space is somewhat over, now you have someone else offering 10G of online storage. Clearly the gmail is a currently the winner, with accounts that are sellable. Incredible, dun you think so? Its always the consumers that stand to win. But there's a little catch. 100 meg limit per month. If you ask me, I think its as good as say "i'm giving you unlimited storage space but hor, you cannot consume it all, only can put abit each month, so it will last you a lifetime -- if my company dun close shop before you die". With that limit, it will take out 100 months to use up your limits. Does it sound like infinite to you? Never, I know singaporean. FREE ah, take first! Use or dun use, see how later!

Latest hoo-haa in the mp3 player world now is the new iPod shuffle that was launched just very very recently. And our dear Mr Sim Wong Hoo has offered some comments in regards to the "first generation mp3 player".

There are enough bloggers in the blogging world that is bitching about it. Search around and you are bound to find them. Add in my cow cents, there is nothing wrong with selling any shit. As long as you can fool the world into buying them, you are a winner. It doesn't matter what that is.

It is actually the same theory as buying designer wears. For a common looking jeans, you are paying nearly 5 times more than normal jeans for it coz its BRANDED. As my friend would put it, "you are paying 20% for the material, and 80% for the design and the name".

Tech gadgets have now become a fashion statementfashion statement. Their annual report card states it all. So iPod shuffle will become the next statement, you will never know. I just show a colleague the picture of the shuffle and her hubby is in love with it already. See? Its a proven tactics. Apple is changing the way people looking hi-tech gadget now.

Reminds me of my specs. I spend a fortune on it, in my cow sense. When people goes "hey, nice specs" and I will be thinking "i'm wearing an almost equivalence of 2 iPod on my face". Sighz. Why did I even buy it then? Must be the name, must be the name. That is probably the most expensive thing you will find on me, beside my handphone, which is like 3 iPod? Sighz. I'm not even thinking about mini.

I have lost my phone. So waiting for my new little statement to arrive. On mini when are you arriving? I miss you so much!

life about free gift

Free gift is not exactly free afterall. As they always say, there is no such thing as free lunch. If you go shopping, and you did your maths really well, its just all marketing strategies to CONvince you that it is indeed free.

Attending wedding can become quite a drag for many of us, especially single personnels past the quarter century *fox century drum roll* border line. As a friend would tell me, "hey, cheer up! Dun think of the money lah, be happy for your friend!". Yeah I know lor, of coz happy for him lah, esp the wedding, in most cases are paid by the attendees. And of coz and unless you are getting those table are past a grand a table, else you are unlikely to lose money.

Indeed, cheer up. I am. I look forward to the tibits they serve to me, I look forward to the door gifts that comes with it. Isn't it amazing that everyone is trying to make their big day a special one, for both the couple and the guests.

Most common you get are chocolates. I think maybe these are the easiest to be supplied and everyone, almost everyone, loves chocolate. As usual, if my table is not filled up, I will be openning up the "unseated" space nice little box of chocolate. Shiok leh! Eat chocolate, little things that make you happy. *la la la* Afterall, you pay a big angpow at the wedding.

Things I have seen so far, teddybear(once), chocolate(almost all the time), fruit cake(once only), chopstick(im sooooo excited), little decorative gift custom order from I-cant-remember-where, and the most amusing one is the candle. Yeah, you heard me, candles.

Wah lau! Dunno why that army friend of mine give candle!? Some more not even aroma therapy type lor! Sighz, he must be helping the government to do the more babies campaign. Kinky man, thinking what you can do with those candles.

Increase in kinkiness will leads to the increase in sexual desires. Sexual desires will leads to more sex. More sex means more chances of misfire. Misfire means MORE BABY. Now, does that all just simple mathematics? What theory again? Must be relative, must be relative. Or was it some star wars theory.

And I did mention that chopstick is my favourite. Why? Being a single and staying alone, I do not see the need to have more than a pair of chopstick nor spoon nor fork. Anyway, I'm not expecting guest, so why has so many waste? What my mom will called liao luwee lor. So when my super seasoned wooden pair of chopsticks seem about to give birth to another pair, I was more then delighted to get a pair FREE nice chopsticks lor. So good, No need waste money buy new chopstick liao. So happy.

So next time you go wedding and got free fork or spoon, give me hor, if you dowan wan. My rusty looking fork don't seems to taste well with maggie mee.

i am so the wrong, or am i not?

A friend pointed out to me that my hokkien is wrong. I shall make an assumption that her hokkien si bey hor! Why leh, coz I did not graduate from the family clan hokkien school.

So my topic for my previous post shld be "lang sway suay jih qi jiao bih bian kway guay". Shame on me, 2 of 6 correct only. I must be a successful product of the "Speak Mandarin" compagin.

Somehow at home, scanning deep down in my memory, I seriously do not recall my parents speaking to me in their native dialect tongue. My sibling and I grew up speaking mandarin only. I recalled pretty well that my grandmom always called me "hokkien lang buay hiao kong hokkien wey" (a hokkien who cannot speak hokkien).

So I only learn my hokkien from school mates! Would you believe it, and best of all, the first few words I was taught are ccb and knn! How great. All these big words are put to good use when you join the army, becoming almost part of your daily conversation. Now, who says u never learn things from army?

Went to a friend's granny wake this yesterday evening. A friend whom I have not met for a long time. And to actually have to meet up with friends you have not seen in a while at such a place. And this is not my first time.

So had a little conversation with him. Too bad he's too busy doing all the ritual, and trying to entertain this group of friends and another group of friends. So he ask me if I'm going to salsa after this, and I go "nop, I dun like to do anything on friday nite now".

This got me thinking. How life has changes at each different stage. First we will club till you drop on saturday during your teenage/army days. Then later when I come out to work, it changes to going out on friday night, and clubbing on saturday night. Then it becomes clubbing on friday night and saturday night becomes a night for meeting up with single friends, either for dinner, coffee session or even movies. And now? Clubbing is even out of the question. I cannot even recall when is the last time I have gone for a serious clubbing. The closest I get is meeting up with friends on New Year Eve 2003 and drink ourselves pissed drunk. I salsa and I do not consider that as clubbing. ^^\/

And who knows, maybe the next time it will become cheap beer at void deck and become uncle by those sexy beer aunties.

lang sway jhi jiao bih kway

Why the title, you might ask, or do u even understand it?

Its is hokkien, which literally translate as "man who is down on luck, even if he keeps a bird, it will turn into a chicken".

Yesh, I'm referring to myself. I still havent gotten over it, after a not-so-great night sleep. Went for some whiskey tasting last night at Velvet, then after that head down to my usual hunt at Union Square. As I tell my friend, I shall leave the place before 11.30, and he gives me the usual look saying "ARE YOU SURE?". I know, I always ended up staying till 1 but hey, I just wanna go home early, so I will leave early, unless a huge bunch of my regular kakis are there.

Ok, I did manage to leave early, but was kinda feeling tired, so decided to get a cab. As I tried to put on my seat belt, the cab driver told me, "no need lah, this hour won't teo liah one lah". Wah lau, I also think so but just in case lor!

Through the whole journey, they kept using big big local words like cb(1), knn(2), lj(3), commenting on the local traffic, the codes of driving, the transport minister and your world-class MP. Hey, here's a guy with great ideas and the government is not listening. Too bad for him, and me as well.

As I got off the cab, I realise my mobile had slipped out of the pocket! OH NO! I cannot accept that! I tried to run after the cab but the driver don't seems to notice me! So next month is to dash for the nearest public phone and suddenly, I think public phone is a rarity and all had gone into hiding! Must be goddamn murphy's law at work. So the next closest phone I can think of is my house. Ran back, kept calling on my mobile but there's no pick up. Sighz, deep down inside, I know its almost gone, almost.

So I call up the call center to try to report a lost, and best I EVEN CALL THE WRONG COMPANY! So gotta hang up fast and call up another right now. The blue color one! Anyway, I had almost given up already. How many people out there you know can recover their mobile after losing it on the cab? I know none. All materials were gone. Bitching materials for the Salsa competitions final. Yeah, its over for 2 weeks and I haven't even start bitching about it. Price of laziness.

Decided to go do some reading before heading to bed. Afterall, what is gone is gone. No point crying over spill milk. Just remember to wear condom, I mean be careful...

And now what, slept half way through, how come I kept hearing things on along the corridor, then the next thing I know, I woke up all WET! No shit! My fan decided that it doesn't want to work anymore and went into limbo! WHAT SHIT! Truly the murphy's law are working at optimal power, if it ain't then kill me rather.


What more shit can I think of now? And I thought I can get things done in a few days time, and I just remember about a rumoured mobilization this weekend. Sighz. That's it. I need to find that leaves now. That chee-na leaves that are rumoured to wash away your bad luck as u bathe with it. Would someone find for me, plssssss.

So for now, you wanna contact me, send me a pigeon. No guarantee I will return it with its meat intact.


DAMN.

Shall We Dance????

At this hour of bloggin', I wonder what is going on in my mind. DANCE.

Hey, I just finish watching it. Wow, its bores me to a certain extend, not because I don't like to dance nor I can't dance but on the contrary, I love to dance. I have always enjoy dancing, even just watching them. Errr maybe minus the ballet, I have yet to understand the story behind it, can only watch them for the moves.

I'm bored probbaly because I have afterall watched the original japanese version. I have a rough idea how this movie is going to proceed. Indeed, it did follow close, but not entirely. The humour added in it seems good and better but on the hold, the japanese version has a much more serious mood to it. But hey, dancing is FUN. Its just not serious and for old folks only. Look at salsa, the amount of attention been given to it nowadays. You can always ask kissorbite anytime. I'm sure she shares my sentiments.

Probably I have watch the original version long time, really long time ago when it first came to Singapore and I don't appreciate it as much then, its a different feel watching it now, but in the unoriginal american version. The dancing is great. I can feel the dance now, look more into it now. Interesting perspective. Just like how I used to hate war/combat movies until I went to army and then I think I start to understand them much much better. Dun say Re-Cey-Vis no good hor!

You can feel it, especially comes those dancing scene. And many a times, its really entertaining to watch 2-left-feet person learning new dance (now no flaming plsss, I aint not dance god, just providing self-entertainment when i'm bored at the club). Then it will get me thinking, am i like that in the past? How did I get past the beginners' stage?

Been salsa-ing for 2 years already. Maybe its the burnout, maybe its the non-breakthrough. The tiredness seems to have slip into me now. Its not that I don't enjoy dancing salsa not but I need a big big breakthorugh to re-ignite the passion to burn fiercely again. But after watching the movie, I think I can find my breakthrough somewhere again.

Probably its about time I should seriously start thinking about Latin and Ballroom dancing. Time wait for no man. 10 years ago, no money, 10 years later, still not money! But at least I can afford to pay for my classes now. But hey, dancing class are not cheap, especially the "least" common ones! And its not just the moolah, time is also a factor. As in the formula 1:5 "stated in the movie", I have agree with it. An hour of class follows by 5 hours of practice. GOOD practice, not the kind you sit down there and gorge hungrily at the sexy moves done by the *cough* sexy *cough* ladies. Time is money. Dance is one with a lot of investment. Unless you are the super-duper-chinese-martial-art-1-in-a-million-years dude that can master the moves in split seconds and done it better than your master, if not, work hard is the only advise any serious dancers can give you.

Just some spoilers, as those usual american movies, its always end with a happy ending, for all these light-hearted movies, just like Honey. All good things come to a good end. Hollywood for you. If you ask me, I would prefer the original anytime, though the original lack the humor as the hollywood version, or maybe its the bad sub.
