Deal?

Got a call just after my lunch, while walking back to the office. I wasn't paying much attention on the call. Just heard something like I'm calling from xxx xxx from MediaCorp xxxx. 1st thing that jumped into my mind is, can those telemarketing company use the name MediaCorp? Must be trying to sell me some credit services again. Just when I'm about to switch off my mind, I heard the one-way conversation went like you are selected to come down for an audition .... Audition? I had to think hard again. So I had to ask them what audition. Oh so its that! A while back, I signed up to take part in the audition for Deal Or No Deal. And now they had decided to start auditioning people.

This came as a total surprise since I had so forgotten about it. Hey, my mind dun revolved that 250k. But damn, I had to wake up damn early at 9.30am to go down. If you had known me enough or read enough from my blog, I'm not exactly a person who believe in early bird gets the worm unlike got free hello kitty. No. I'm kidding. I wondered if I can finish the audition and get back to the Durian Building in time to watch the FloorPlay. And some more in the morning, its the Ironman Triathlon. My area is part of the route. Damn. I hate it. Why the hell did most of these marathon ran passed my place?

Nevermind, back to Deal Or No Deal. As promise to some friends, if I had managed to win some tens of grands from the show, I'm going to be sponsoring some of their dive gears. Good luck to them. Good luck to me.

Wow

Read that M$ lost quite a bit of a fortune on those pieces of papers. Of course, I guess no one expected that Apple to bounce back all of a sudden. I remember a long time ago, Apple was seriously in deep shit, before Steve "wonder" Jobs rejoined Apple back in 1996. Apple was an almost unknown name in the world unless you are in the design field or you were such a nerd. Since the launch of iMac in 1998, Apple started to take the world by storm. Where I was working back then, I had people asking about iMac, even seeking advices if iMac was worth all the hype. There were even people whom had came to me, considering the option of taking the purge. I did not discourage that. I just listed down all the pros and cons. Based on some very easy and loose calculation, M$ lost some Bs. Give me that moolah and I could do some good for Sillypore, opposing a particular dynasty.

S.o.S

This S.O.S is not your usual S.O.S but it is still an S.O.S.

I still does the fishes-are-friends-not-food activities. Hey, its an expensive activity, couldn't quite afford to do it too frequently. And some more being an unobservant observer, I had yet to see the seahorses. Of course, there are so many other things I have yet to see just as well. Anyway, I'm not too sure how much help it can provide though I doubt it will change anything, but of course, it doesn't exactly cost you anything to sign on it.
It all started as a conflict between the seahorse and development. Since 1995, massive port development around Pulai River Estuary have destroyed large tracts of seagrass beds, which are home to the Spotted Seahorse, Hippocampus kuda. The Spotted seahorses, which once thrived in the Pulai River Estuary, is losing its habitat as well as numbers. SOS is particularly concerned that they may vanish soon. We do not want the episode to end with extinction.
So help them to achieve their goal of 5000 signatures for their petition.

    [via Dictionary.com]
People come, people go. So many people enter one's life in the entire lifespan. Some leave a longer lasting impression. Some leave no mark at all, almost without sign of existence. Some are close. Some are just brushing past. Some take the effort to be a really personal friend. Some just hang it around the mouth.

A wise old man said before, one may encounter many friends in life, but really good and best of friends are handful and hard to come by. As I said in for salsa before, a person who dance for a few years doesn't exactly means the person is a very good dancer. I had seen people who had dance for years and still have very poor dance etiquette or been good dancer. I guess the same thing goes for a friend. Knowing someone for a longer period of time doesn't exactly fit one in as being a good friend of that person. Old time friend doesn't mean good friend either. See how a person remember or does things for you could exactly tell you so much about that friendship.

Isn't it weird that people you hang out with more often cannot remember things while people whom you hardly see or meet in a year can remember. Just sort of weird. Afterall, that does tell a lot of the relationship between the two person.

Some things need not be said nor explain but apparently, the same thing can be viewed by different people in a thousand and one ways. I remember back a long time ago when I used to hang around with this group of friends whom we will spent our time around talking gossiping. We used to be laughing at people who was kind of cheehong chasing skirts. Many many skirts. We joked that as long as a hole exist, the person would just wacked. Apparently, I seemed to have gotten myself that reputation of chasing many skirts. I thought I'm been discreet already but a dinner appointment means I'm chasing skirt? And when I don't date any skirts and hang around with male friends, I had people asking other people if my interest pointed in the other direction. WTF?

I knew. You could never satisfied everyone and you only need to be happy with yourself and answerable to yourself. But seems like girls seems to enjoy sharing their trophies? Discussing who is trying to themselves? Probably just me. I pretty much preferred to keep my private life very private. But at least I now knew that I cannot trust some people out there. Afterall, the famous phrase from the hit series, X-files, back in the 90s said it all. Trust No One.
