liverpool

ok, update then. the flight was terrible. no inflight entertainment. the seats weren't too good and the pillow they gave wasn't too nice. so don't fly KLM next time. MAS good lah. It's cold over here. a lot worse than last year when i came up. my surprise didn't go as planned but she was still surprised in the end.

was talking to jan just now and about how i saw an Aston Martin DB9 in the middle of amsterdam airport. i didn't have time to take a picture because i has to rush to the next gate. It's license plate was "Win Me". So jan decided that her/ dinesh's car would be "Wahahaha" and mine would be "Cheapitty". Park them together as planned and it would be "Wahahaha Cheapitty".

news

good news and bad news...

bad news is that i've got a blocked nose

good news is that now i can't smell the fucking stinko chinamen on my floor.

also, the lengths at which certain people go through to seek attention is seriously sickening. what's up you attention deprived prick? why don't you just say things out straight instead of hinting the shit out of everyone. dumbass fucker.

*still in pissed off mode*

to the dumbfuck who's been posting shit on daryl's tagboard. hiding behind that computer screen eh? seriously, if i were to go down and take it out on all of you small fucks, you'd honestly begin to wish how much you didn't join scouts.

i am so glad that my blog doesn't appear when you search for it. good thing that.

dumb moth just flew into my table fan. now the blade's dirty and the moth is one big splat on the blade... grrrr

more hall stuff

well, just came back from hall play. KE7 did a version of FAME! Why did i go? Guilty conscience of not participating in hall activites, i was going to be back on sunday night anyway and i wanted to see how well they could do it. Taking into account that the cast and crew are not full time professionals, they did an ok job. I felt that ralph garcy was the best actor comparing to the real FAME!. Leroy hd a very bad accent and most of the time his words weren't properly pronounced. I guess another person who stole the limelight was the music teacher, Mr chinaman. hhaha...

Mr Chinaman: So, what do your father pray?

Ralph: He plays the horn, english horn, french horn, trumpet (toot toot toot) and the guitar too.. he's real famous and stuff

Mr Chinaman: he know how to pray with viorin?

watching this version only makes me want to watch it again in london (ok gillian?) just so that i remember what it actually is like. Interestingly enough, i seem to recognise quite a fair bit of people who were in the hall play. Considering the number of times i actually meet people in the dining hall or in the walkways, i guess i remember them for their unique/special traits. First off, there's the dumb fuck oh wen jun. prash would know. there's shazad, farveez(niron's friend), pamela's stalker aka fungus boy, short gay boy who always wears singlets, leon(from sji) plus assorted members of the crew and stuff.

and now i'm pissed coz my lindt chocolate has all become soft due to the weather and i have to risk putting it in the fridge where the chinamen on my floor have a tendency to eat whatever's in it anyway. AND I DON'T HAVE A SPOON... so i can't make myself a cup of nestum... bah...

achievement of the day: i walked from UCC back to hall. For those who don't know where UCC is, it's basically just walking from one end of NUS to the other.

13 more days till i see gillian... 7 more till she turns 22!!!!!!!! haha

hall stuff

did i take up a place in hall which could have probably gone to someone who would have contributed more? probability of someone doing more than me in hall is quite high considering i do nothing. does that make me a horrible person? the only reason why i stay in hall is because of the convenience it offers. although KE may be on the other end of NUS, it is definitely better than going to and fro from simei everyday. i get my own room. although i already have one at home, here i have no parents. No one to anyhow walk into my room while i'm busy.

i like being alone. kinda weird huh? not talking to my neighbours or anyone else in hall actually. but seriously, staying on campus is great coz it's so freaking near. am i obligated to partake in hall activities? no. i want the freedom to do what i want when i want. i had enough of training and cca's in the past years of school.

i've already got a amazing set of friends. SJI guys, it's already been 10 years, almost half of our lives. VJ pple, 5 years too. it's already hard enough to juggle these 2 groups of friends.. haha, only get to see them on alternate weekends.

i think what amelia said today was quite true. there is just 2 extremes of people who live in campus. the crazy over zealous/over involved types that live in hall versus those who are content with the total lack of interaction with your neighbours.

they need halls with something in between. haha

i can't help agreeing with this guy. real good post

How We Behave

Most women in this modern society will never be on time for an appointment! (Noticed that I didn't use the word ALL) It is just not in their nature to be early. Women of yester-years like my grandmother and my aunt have never been late for anything as far as I can remember. You can say they are more ‘anxious’ to reach their destination. If the appointment were at 3pm, my grandmother would be up at 7am taking a bath, getting ready and wanting to set off at 10:30am. Of course, this drives my dad crazy and he would tell her that he won't be leaving until 1pm, which still have a two-hour window and asked her to sit and wait. Naturally, she will be sulking her face and complaining to me about my dad until they finally took off for their appointment.

To be fair, woman nowadays occasionally do show up on schedule. However, this only applies depending on certain factors. Like you are close friends meeting up to paint the town red. You're not that close and you do not want the other party to be kept waiting. You have a business meeting or event to attend to together and can't afford to be late. You two are going on a first date and both of you don't want to create a bad impression by being late.

On the other hand, once you two are attached and your status have been upgraded to boyfriend, husband and eventually father of her kids, you can kiss being early for any events or outings goodbye. From then now, woman exist and operates in another dimension where their perception of time is inconsistent from the universal domain around us. They function in a parallel space whereby they're on an average of 15 minutes behind real time. One thing I have learned is that you can make arrangement with them the day before and remind them every hour of the day but they will still be late. You can give them a head start by saying you'll be there to pick them up from work/gathering/their place/meetings in two hours time but they will only start to prepare when you called up again and say you're already at the proposed destination waiting for them!

Why do women always torture men with their unexplainable and mystified behavior? Take shopping for example. Men need a certain item A. We go and purchase the item. We go home. Women THINK of what they THINK they may need. They go to search and see which place has the best bargain for item A. They got distracted with item B, item C, item D along the way. They spend 6 hours browsing through item E to item Z before coming back to item A.
They went home empty-handed feeling satisfied!

Unfortunately, I too am a victim of the postmodern women erratic behavior. Like all the men out there who loved their spouse or soul mate, there is a sentence we frequently say when asked about our opinion to all this sort of irrational and illogical nature by our still single brothers out there: “What to do?!!”

Examples of Commonly faced scenarios:

I'm ready to go.
(What she isn't telling you is: “As soon as I recall if there is anything I left out that needs to be done.” That would give you a good 7-10 minutes before she is out of the house.)

I will be ready in 1 minute.
(Have to find matching shoes to go along with the outfit. Which translate to 15 minutes of waiting time. )

I will be ready in 15 minutes.
(Take out a newspapers cos that normally works out to be 45 minutes of waiting time. She'll be multi-tasking, putting on makeup, watching whatever is on TV during that ' brief ' intervene, playing with the dog, chatting with a friend on the phone or family members.)

I will be ready in 30 minutes.
(If you hear this, I suggest you either finished watching the soccer game on TV, take a shower, have a short nap, slip a cup of coffee or tea at a nearby coffee shop and wait for her call saying she is ready to go!)

Like I said: “What to do?!”

yes yes, i guess it would not be true for most girls and that it seems like i'm being biased and all. A better example to prove my point here would be to imagine the girl this person is talking about is gillian. You can't disprove anything now.
