I don't know what but it tried to suck the milk out of me from my nips. -.-
Let's hope it's not some cancerous cells in my "breast"

Especially when complacency is winning the better with consistency
And I'm having sores all over my body. Whyyyyy

How the media can distort an issue
British was said to have cracked brains to think of new tax revenue leading to the proposal of having a carbo-tax. What do you think?
The news is, at the bottom-line, customer-based; they are reporting in the mass market's perspective instead of maintaining their neutrality. Local government's plan to cut down vehicle's growth rate and retrieving of excess COE has been postponed; everyone cheered, including the news presenter. What about our traffic congestion issue? What about the excess hazardous gas polluting our environment? It's a social cost and an issue only the government can and will cure. Now what?
What's the point of having an opposition when all it leads to is the incumbent trying to sustain majority by implementing popular policies instead of efficient ones? Cross efficiency is what you what? Look what we have now; the limits of democracy. Haven't you realize how Singapore became so successful? Because we rarely (in the past, that is) have the need to please the society with plans that may not be the best in economic sense. Do we really want the PAP to start becoming an Obama giving empty promises, or an authoritarianism ensuring prosperity?

I know you need time, and I told you not to take too long
But some part of me is still dreaming though, even after so long...
Are you getting married too?
Some of my friends are getting married at a rather young age (relatively) at 22-26 and most of them are giving up further educational pursuit. There's really no right or wrong in this choice but it's definitely a brave move against the convention of trading the joy of family bonds for further studies and career. Then again, when did the social norms change to become this materialistic? What happened to the hierarchy of basic needs we learnt in school?
All the best and have a happy marriage, you brave souls!

Liked
Two photos that I should have just left them alone, but I didn't.
And I proved myself wrong; contradicting something I once hold true so dearly.
Hopefully, it's good enough to make us friends once again.

Sweetest Chocolate
They have an expiry, so good things don't really last; no point preserving some. You only live once (YOLO), grab every thing worth grabbing before you start regretting. It's better you finish it fast then letting it slowly rot its way to the trash bin.
Over consume, and you get diabetics, become obese and all other sorts of illnesses that come along. Nothing's good when you have too much of it. You either get sick of it and take what's good for granted, or you get indigestion trying to chew off a chunk out-sizing your mouth. Take what's good and good enough; ambitions only get you as far as your capabilities can handle.
It can only get sweeter when you start sharing, because two person is now tasting that sweetness, the utility is improved (if the whole piece reaches the peak of its desirability and LDMR sets in, or whatever). Solitude will only bring you so far. But share it only with those that appreciates it (not the chocolate, but the act) or share it with the ants and houseflies. Choose who you wanna share with.
No chocolate is actually sweet or it'll be called honey or caramel or sugar. You only taste the sweetness because you choose to allow what makes you feel good to overpower what makes you feel the opposite, but who are you fooling? There's definitely bitter in it. And without tasting the bitterness of pure cocoa, you'll never really appreciate the slightest sweetness in life.
We'll never know what's the sweetest chocolate because life always give us surprises by showing us new boundaries. Something you find to be sweetest will soon become just sweeter, and eventually a mere sweet. It's not easy being the best, difficult to stay there, and near impossible if you just stay the same without trying to better yourself. That piece of chocolate don't have the means to outdo itself, you have.
--
Screw it, just eat that damn piece of chocolate! It doesn't matter what decision you make, you'll still end up being the unique you you are and are going to be!

My eyes are giving up on me...
I won't blame them for I would too if I were forced to do 26 modules off the screen (only 1/3 done), each of an averaged 30 slides. Oh wait, what? My brain's shutting down too?!?!
Good night people, let's hope we wake up to a training/education system more technologically advanced than what we have today.
Don't blame my sarcasm, blame the irritated mind that's forcing itself to drift!

Millipede at 2 in the morning
Nope, nothing unusual... But not if I'm staying on the 14th floor! First time such creature is sighted here.
Maybe an earthquake is coming?!?! Let's wait and see if other insects start coming out as well; a rat maybe?

No one's ever an expert in love or relationship
Unless you die with the one you first love and loved ever since by your deathbed.
Otherwise you won't have that/those failed relationship(s), you would have a very long lasting partner, you would have gotten married, you would have kids. And even so, you can divorce to proof both of you wrong. So where is the point where you can really qualify as being an expert in the subject of relationship? Yup, probably only by your deathbed.

Badass Facebook Messenger!
Now they actually tell you if your friends have actually seen your message! Where is the line you are gonna draw for our privacy that's already so minimal?!
Wish nothing happened?
You can't turn back time, but you can make it run faster with happier moments. Don't be a slave to you life; you own it, not the other way round.

I read the first 3 interpretations and just suddenly have the strong urge to wallop these people up for digging out my emotions I thought was long made history; some things I do without realizing why and they actually gave me a reason. The reason. Someone who's been filling my mind all these while, rejecting everyone else out of it. Someone I should have long gotten over.
So many around are falling into the emotional abyss everyone trips into after a failed relationship and I've been hearing so much about time being a potion that'll make all these bitterness fade. I am guilty. But the bitterness really do fade behind time when everyone else stop looking at you as a victim of this irrational natural instinct we call love. What comes after is just numbness; hollowness; empty spaces inside a locked-up room. What's worst - you're the culprit victimized in this cruel game life puts us through.

So I heard PAP lost!
At least I know one particular Ms Lim is equally disgusted by this result as me... Oh, and a Mr Choo of course.
Don't understand why people are giving the support to a party that has just failed them so recently. It's really a blind vote and people are just trying to prove the government wrong by voting for an opposition that has shown us how incompetent their internal control is, instead of a candidate so devoted and sincere. Oh well, resistive to change, I heard you say...... Sorry but come again?!

One day you'll wake up and give the present you a tight slap
Stop living in denial bro, because nothing is worth you changing yourself into what you don't want to be, and the only thing that can possibly achieve that is your own will. Why succumb to it like a sore loser when you have the strength to fight it like a man?
I hope that one day comes fast so that you can be you again. You do know we've all been through what you've been through and we've all pulled through it eventually right? Maybe others won't tell you but I know it takes time. Just how low do you wanna go to reach your trough before you pick yourself up is really your choice; the lower you go, the longer it takes to get back up. One day all these will fade, though I know it's never possible to totally forget, but why not let the process of fading hasten by doing yourself a favor on looking at things from a different perspective? One day, you'll understand what I'm saying even though today you don't.

Status
The last time I posted a status on Facebook was quite a while ago, let's not mention Twitter.
I really don't find the phrase "status" adequate because people are really posting things like how much they are dredging studies, their hatred for work, detesting life, quarrel with girlfriend, sleeping time, lunch menu and how much they want others to know that they're loving their partners.
No, I like how social network allows us to talk about news, politics (smart comments and reflections that is), social issues, happy things that happened in life worth sharing or nice videos/songs to recommend. Even showing friends how life's been going on through photos or checking in into places interesting (or for advertising purposes like me... Business!) to share is good. But the contents of your recent quarrel with boyfriend? Your attempt to gain attention through telling people how depressed you are? Showing off how you won an argument with your mum? Seriously? I don't see how that's socially beneficial or even adequate. True, there really isn't a Big Brother on the Internet to tell you what's right and what's not so, or maybe there isn't even a clear definition of right/wrong on the issue of social-sense over the virtual data world, but surely you wont use a fork to drink your soup isn't it? Start deploying some common sense maybe, that's something uncommon nowadays...

Some friends don't have to talk often to know how close they are; just look at the topics we discuss -.-
Guy-girl group mind you, not the usual men's gross talk.
I didn't really care whether I was invited initially and even questioned the guest list when it first came out. Weird combination and even weirder chat group resulted but the party was the least awkward one I've been to. And most importantly, maybe the invitation was given out with other factors other than importance considered, but the fact that your planning gave us due consideration is good enough to know. Save the disgusting topics, thanks for the night everyone; and thanks for the invitation Ms Chng!

I came home and mum asked if Angbao is good enough for my birthday, and whether I wanna have any celebration with my friends like what my brother and sister did. The fact that I'm talking so much about it here and giving it thorough consideration should prove enough that I don't find it as minor an event as I appear to put it. But I really don't have the strength and ability to get everyone important to me to appear together, no matter how rare the chance may be or how much the occasion calls for. I don't wanna risk the moment of regret when one or two fail to appear, nor to face the disappointment when the turn out isn't as expected. Let's just save the awkwardness and keep it simple; live as though it's just another day. I'll be studying for my papers, teaching tuition, and preparing for camp on that day; celebrating the anniversary of my life with what I do with my life any other day, and celebrating any other day of my life as though it's the anniversary.
Because you never know which day is gonna be the other anniversary others will weep over.

I must be a Jew last life
Went over to the shop where I got my fake shades from, "aunty, I'm here to complain! The shades I brought from you previously lasted for just two weeks!" (in actual fact, more like 20 weeks)
Aunty answers with an embarrassing smile, "ok... I'll give you a new one for free"
--
Went into Marcella,
Girl 1: "Hello, haven't seen you for quite a while!"
I don't remember her so I just gave the "oh it's always another girl here" explanation.
We continued talking about the promotion and new fabrics and how the other girl promised me a $10 off/piece discount and how much she thinks I'm bullshitting.
Then le wild "other girl" aka Joyce walked in to confirmed the BS I'm giving is legit. Likeaboss, claimed double discount.

Live as though you are the greatest
You have the whole world in your hands; confidence is all you need to conquer it.
I feel good about myself and I know I'm not the worst amongst all that I know.
--
I've heard people telling me how above average my looks are, but it's a fact that I'm not at all good-looking and a truth that I'm not the kind you'll be attracted to on first sight.
Acquaintance talk about how good my results are and how smart I am, but I really don't have the intelligence quotient that you expect of me. Friends tell me how all-rounded I am and how I fit into every job possible, but truth is I am just about as witty or wise as any other average Joe on the street. Buddies around me that know me well get jealous and envious over how much I am of a "ah beng scholar" and how Gemini really fits my personality but many things are really just superficial.
I have my dark side, I have a false personality; I'm not always truthful and there's bound to be things I'm ashamed of that I try to hide; you just never know and you'll possibly never know...
As long as I stay confident of myself, even the most critical attack on me won't sink my self-esteem; as long as I have faith in my beliefs, no failure will be strong enough to bring me down. I may be weak but watch it world, I'm ready for the shit you have installed for me. Bring it on; come at me bro! I've survived the many downs you've brought me, and I'll continue to fight until you decide to give me up! Some day I'll fall, but it's not gonna be today; it's not gonna be any time soon!..

Excuses
Some part of me wants to celebrate my birthday, but most of myself really think it redundant.
When I had a girlfriend, it gave me a perfect excuse because she's supposedly the one I should spend this "special" day with. But now that I'm single, I really don't wanna favor any single clique or group of friends to celebrate it with. So I'm just hoping I'll be filled with some lame excuses like, "oh, I'm having an exam on that day" or "yea, too bad, I'm celebrating Father's day together with my family" but everything just seems to be avoiding that day. I really haven't made any plans for it and the fact that I'm so concerned about it shows how much fear I have if I don't produce a good response when people around ask about the "special" day... Perhaps I should really find an escapade and disappear from this hypocritical world for just that one day.
Maybe, vanishing sounds like a good idea... Just one day...

It's getting hot in here
We were both too cool about this whole thing...
Too cool about the start, and even cooler about how it all ended. So cool, I don't even have enough memories to really remember that it all actually happened. Help me recollect what was going on... Perhaps we weren't really serious about the whole thing, but trust me, some part of me tells me that I would have held on if we weren't so cool about everything.
I really just wanted to protect you with all that I could, and I realize I still can do it even without what we had.
Cool and cold, where's the line?
--
Maybe it's really the effect of alcohol. But nobody actually told me it's a depressant agent... I really thought it does the opposite

Tonight, we are young
And we got drunk once again. We talked about all the idiotic and retarded things we've done one year ago as though it was eons away but it really felt like just yesterday. We embraced our maturity as we stepped into adulthood but continued our acts of childishness and folly. Tonight, we went back in time.
I came home and I continued drinking, hoping for the memories to return one last time before subconsciousness erase it all away. I didn't get drunk; I got more sober and clearer: we are all too old for this shit, but we are still young for many more!

You are the CEO of your life
What do you have in your hand?
--
Apart from the story of David vs Goliath from other speakers, this is the greatest take away I have from the company event this morning.
Seriously? CEO? I'm not only the CEO, I'm also the COO, CFO, Director, GM, Department head, Team leader, Associate, Member, and even Cleaner of my own life. You don't just have control over your life, you have every responsibility to it; every role, every job, every liability. You only have yourself to fight for and eventually yourself to answer to.
You are the fate of your life.
You have your own blood, sweat and tears in your hands.

Damn, I'm old
Every moment in life is your oldest, because the next is not yet and the previous is gone.
How then do you define an old you, when every moment is succeeded by the next?
A million or trillion or zillion me has past while I type this... How old! And oops, I've grown yet again.

"Will you ever be sad?
Because I cannot imagine you crying."
I'm only as strong as all that I allow you to see but as weak as the last thing I want you to.
--
Have you ever been so envious or even jealous of someone you know because you think he/she is so damn near to perfection? Then you probably haven't seen all of him/her. No one life is perfect or even near it; we all have the side we can't deal with and refuse to accept nor challenge it, it's really just how well we hide these nemesis away from others' eyes. Life is fair until you stop fighting for it to be so. What about the African kids? But are you sure you are happier than them? Is our definition of fairness in life so shallow as to be based solely on one's ability to live? Or am I just being irritating and be living in denial to belief that ignorance is really some times a bliss? The burden of knowledge, is it only fools that see them? Or am I just one selfish soul that should vanish from this place? Then do make sure the vanishing act is painless.

Survival of the fittest is at one time the peak of scientific theories and a hype in intellectual discussions. It has proven its worth and taken pretty seriously up till this day. Simple enough, the genes that ensure your survivability will be passed on precisely because it survives.
But how relevant exactly is it in today's context? I'm not challenging Darwinism; I'm merely counter-proposing a change that comes along with age in all aspects of beings...
--
Because information and social interaction has transformed so much since Charles Darwin's age, we have to factor in the very critical influencing role our society is playing now. The society is now very much like a national/international bank where everyone can deposit all the ideas/cultures/norms/beliefs/behaviors which can eventually be passed on to the next generation (much like what genes do, except perhaps even more efficiently since it's a continuum of transitions and it ever-exist versus the one-off event of child birth), and the account we're holding in this bank is publicly accessible. Transferring of behavioral determinants are no longer done through natural reproduction but adaptation to environment and extraction of social norms; the pin to the genetic bank is no longer sperms and eggs or proteins with X and Y chromosomes but societal interactions and digital information. It's like what we have to survive is all coded on a cheat sheet and published on the Internet, and the "examination" system of rDNA and DNA is being sidelined.
What I'm trying to say is: what we are born with genetically is losing their effect on our eventual beings as societal influences erode off that importance to bring the whole survivability-game to a whole new playing field. Think about it, the Intelligence that we once hold so dearly of is now taking a secondary role to the Emotional Quotient we deemed of higher priority in the present context. The need of strength to hunt for a game is now traded for social skills and ability to do business, and there is no one "sure-kill" skill that can really ensure your survival in this capitalistic world we are living in today. So what is the use of DNAs and the point in passing them on genetically (albeit for physical characteristics so that your parents can be sure you are not an alien)? Isn't all these "needs" more accessible and useful if we were to extract them from the idea bank in our society? Isn't the "legacy" we leave behind in the form of culture and societal norms more valuable than our biological estates?..

How do gays and lesbians come about generations after generations? Who wanna bet it on the works of genes?

Bus Driver?
Go Sweden if you wanna be one cos they're earning S$6k/month, or so I heard.
I also heard people are complaining about how miserable a pay our local counterpart are receiving. Now tell me how much you will complain if I tell you most of these drivers are foreigners and we will pay them S$6k/month.
Still, seriously? S$6k/month? What basis are you using for your wage rate?! Or is it you require a Masters degree to be a bus driver there?...

Train ride
I'm on the NEL right now on a Sunday evening traveling from Sengkang towards Harbourfront. Sitting on one row of the seats is a group of "China Chinese", and on the opposite row is another group of Bangladeshi workers (presumed so because of their attire)
Standing together with me squeezing and trying to balance on the faulty train are my fellow Singaporeans.
Crowded out?
--
How am I to be sure that those Chinese and Indian/Bangladeshi people are actually foreigners and not one of my local friend's parents holding Singapore citizenship (therefore Singaporeans)? Or even if they are, aren't they not contributing to the prosperity our economy is experiencing? If you are earning because you are contributing, aren't they supposed to enjoy some form of privilege in exchange of the effort they are putting in for OUR country as well?
Disagree? We don't need such foreigners? Then why don't you start giving birth?! Think about it, who are the roots of our problem? We ourselves! The government had put in so much effort to encourage population growth through natural replacement but it ain't working and so they brought in foreigners to help us sustain our economy; shouldn't we thank them instead of discriminating? "No, the government should take care of our own citizen!" Nope. Not if it affects the country's survivability. What our government is doing is precisely "speak less, do more" they're saving the effort on explaining how important it is to ensure sustainable economy for something more productive like actually doing it. If a business is dying because their employees are incompetent and bringing in experts from elsewhere can ensure its continuous operation, then isn't it irrational not to do so?! And to say less, it is a company that started off with an all-embracing policy to begin with; now the only thing we are embracing is exactly what would have starved off our grandparents.
What you want is a bottom-up policy where citizens should come first because you are still bragging about the contributions our forefathers did. What the government is doing is a top-down approach in maintaining our much-needed economic stability by bringing in people who are not delusional about past results/comfort and are willing to do exactly what our forefathers did (albeit an easier task of maintaining instead of pioneering)
Stop blaming the governing organization for providing solutions to a problem we have created ourselves! If you think this meritocratic system is being unfair to you, you have two options: leave and be discriminated elsewhere; or solve the underlying root problem you've created.
Overcrowded? Not exactly. This economy requires this amount of labour endowment (with these skill sets) to sustain, regardless of the resource being imported or home grown. We can never get a seat on the train; you either leave it to those foreigners, or our own future generation.

Some trivial facts you should know about this place
1) The date is set to change at 3pm local time; so it's actually 15hrs behind our time. I just don't know how to change it but it's alright.
2) "Realusion" really isn't a word. I just don't like the difference between reality and illusions being just a thin line apart and yet so different from one another
3) my English grades were always printed red but I hope you're not agreeing with the teachers now
4) I'm a bit of a grammar nazi and I can't stand indiscriminate use of "your" & "y'all" or "it's" & "its". But sometimes my tenses get lost somewhere in a sentence... Just forgive me, no one's perfect without practice. Though many, like my auto-correct, is gonna stay imperfect no matter how much practice
5) this used to be a private escapade with me being the only visitor but I'm getting 3-figure visits every other day now
6) I'm not mediocre by several measures

No hold bars
The greatest lecture happens randomly in a bar, in a party or on the streets, under the guise of small talks and random conversations with the sane and insane; drunk and sober.
Jack the Master
Would you rather be "Jack of all trade" or "master of one"? Jason of all trade, hands down.
I have the basics to learn what all masters know while you can (only) teach all "jacks" what you're really good at.
Difference: I can learn from many and gain from every; you can teach more than one but gain from none. I'm ever gaining while you're ever giving and there will come a day when I have more to offer than you with your coffers

What's your problem?!
The ultimate problem about philosophy is not that there is no right or wrong; it's that the philosophers stubbornly refuse to admit this when they know it's the case. So the fact that they are arguing a definite moral standpoint for something without a definite moral standpoint (there's no such thing per se) is wrong because there's no right/wrong! And my claim on this is wrong!
Why argue for something to be right when it's already so hard to argue for things being wrong?! Now who holds the burden of proof when the case is about there being no right/wrong? Am I supposed to proof it right or proof it wrong?!!

Are you a prisoner of the world of freedom?
Then don't be chained down by liberalist's capital world
Be bounded only by your limitless self
--
Nah, I can't do it. I brag about all the "freedom" I have but I'm only as liberated as my monetary assets take me in this capitalistic world
My foresight is only as far as my ambitions want to see, currently sad to say, it's restricted by my wallet.
Is it true then that communism gives me more vision? Hmmm... Capability comes in the form of will and motivation, with equality there's no such needs and we'll all be equally incapable and blind to individual desires; what vision?!!

Some times some people you know don't deserve some things they have
Then again, who are you to have what you have?
Then again, who am I to ask these questions?
Then again, if no one is ever gonna ask such questions because no one has the ultimate rights to it, who is to say what is deserving and what is not?
Then again, what?

Stop judging not only for the fact that you are at the same time being judged, but also because you are not supposed to. Sounds logical? But if both sentences are true, then the former can't be true because the one judging is now bounded by the latter, and thus, only one is true. You are judging me? So I'm supposed to judge you. Oh, lovely vicious cycle.
Work out the logic and you'll find that, hey bitch, only I can judge myself! Or can I?

"We have to make that distinction about him being PRC"
http://temasektimes.wordpress.com/2012/05/13/video-of-fatal-bugis-accident-red-ferrari-crashed-into-comfort-taxi-at-high-speed/
fktards. So you are saying an accident won't have happened if it was a Singaporean or someone from other country that drove the car? Why don't you blame it that the Ferrari is probably a MIC product as well? Then again, will you drive that Ferrari if it was given to you free and all-inclusive? It's not racist I agree since you're a Chinese yourself, it's "nationality-ist" since you're discriminating them by their country of origin. Oh wait, what country was your origin?
Make a distinction between an accident and local government's foreign policies, and stop being such an idiotic moron.

Let this be a reminder that we should all drive carefully. When you drive dangerously, it not only endangers your life but other lives as well.
I don’t care if he’s PRC or Singaporean, or if he’s driving a Ferrari or a Proton. Any person who drives like that deserves to suffer

Exactly! Why does it matter whether he is from China India, South Africa, or South America?
His callousness is UNIVERSAL. ANYONE that drives like that and causes such a great loss to so many people (and each of their families, AND HIS VERY OWN!) is detestable. What passport he carries is a non-issue.
Next time if a SIA flight gets into an accident it means that Singaporeans are reckless and are bad at flying planes? Next time if a Singaporean terrorist decides to blow up some tourist location overseas it means we are all terrorists and those countries SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER before letting such dangerous Singaporeans into their country? PEOPLE are responsible for THEIR OWN MISTAKES, we shouldn’t help them blame it on anyone/ anything else!
The blatant and unapologetic racism on this page sickens me almost as much as the innocent and needless loss of lives from the Bugis accident.

Too unjust to be silent
It was too tired for arguments but the above proposition overpowered my will.
They're giving risk allowance for a reason; if you've taken that extra $100-$300 every month then shut the crap about how there should be NO RISK in the army. If what you believe in to protect us is one in which driving a jeep and have an ACCIDENT in it is unacceptable then we should really change the name of our army to "your mother's platoon"
if you're going into the army and not ready to give your all, then declare gay and downgrade to PES E; stop contaminating the public about how whinny our soldiers are. If I were a girl, I wouldn't trust our men who looks down on the system when they are they ones driving it. I can accept all the noises the mothers are making, but not the cries our soldiers are weeping. As a soldier, your duty is not to criticize your organization, it is to follow orders and protect the people. If all you're doing is complain about all these incidents, you should probably be given a chance to re-experience how militarism works.
It's your choice to just give up your citizenship and leave without serving something you don't stand up for, otherwise just shut up and protect the ones I love.

3:47AM
Or so says my clock. And I started lying on my bed since 1plus just now. Oh! And it says 3:48 now... Time flies when you're fighting insomnia; why doesn't it works the same way when the enemy is Zzz-monster?!! 3:49AM people... May the force be with me
Already 70!
But my Eldest uncle doesn't even looks like he's been shortchanged with 60. And I realize he looks abit like Andy Lau (as in the HK singer)
Dad was showing me all the photos of our relatives in China (his 1st degree cousins) and talked about his trip there last week (all while I was trying to catch Family Guy -.-). Then the topic took a turn to discuss the life expectancy of our family line, I realize we're all on the average of 75 before we pass on and "return home"
Guess what? That means I have another 55 more years here! (Statistically speaking) That's like 2.75 times of what I have already been through, seems so far away huh? But come another 15 years, I'd be reaching my halfway mark. When that time comes, I'd be too old to do too many things, too busy with too much work, too tied down for too many commitments...

Died because of SAF training.
One is one too many, it is just that there are too many of such incidents recently. I have been backing the government on their stance with NS and thought that such risk are inevitable when it comes to military training. In fact, accidents happen everywhere and anywhere, with or without safety precautions. We can't stop the masses' overreaction, but maybe we should just take a step back and think of how to handle after such incident occurs (since what is done cannot be undone) instead of bitching/moaning about the system which I doubt most of you can give any better suggestion of how to improve.

Back to original
After going one big round the past two years, it's back to NUS Econs once again... It won't go too wrong since it's been on my mind since so long ago! Now is the most anticipated wait for this new chapter of my life to unfold; one that I doubt it's possible to sit back and relax.
Truth is, I sympathize with him
It's not that easy to let go of something after it's been with you for 3 years
but there's definitely a way out...

The moment I gave up 8 years of my life by mailing the letter of acceptance for my scholarship. Life decisions never felt so tough... 
When's the last time you see someone so emotional
So lost that he went berserk looking for the way forward; so hurt that he felt no pain with a cut on the wrist.
Succumbing to self-pity just makes you weak bro, it's time you learn to let go of this 3 year old dream and wake up to the cruel reality. Nothing you do now change the fact that she has deemed you unimportant; don't make us insignificant by dying because of that one girl. Come back to us after you're done hating yourself...

I finally found time for this!
Is it too gay? It's to deter you gay boys! Welcome to the new escapade!
So connected!
I guess everyone of about the same age is really at most one degree away from knowing each other; that's the sad (or maybe not so sad now since I'm partying much lesser) truth of being a Singaporean teen...
It's not when, but how you die
I really won't mind dying tonight while sleeping; guess I might just have a few regrets that I'll probably laugh it off if there's such a thing as after-life. Just don't let me suffer a tough death!
How how nice!
To yet found another friend that went through so much to get information for me to kick start my uni life! Thanks Ms Sim! :)

Kids vs Grown-up
Childishness is when you hated Mr Goh for benching the main players during our secondary school days;
Maturity is when you realize how brave he must be to put his job on the chopping board just in the name of "character development"
Character is when you finally understand how right he is not fielding them.

Reading the article itself brings back so much memories, when everyone was one big family. We had our pain and we had our game. What made us so close wasn't the similarities; in fact, it's because of how different we were that made the bond how strong it was. But reality of time teaches us the cruelty of life; some things of importance don't come with permanence, just so that our memories of those experience are not diluted with the ticking of clock. Adios, my youth.
Anyway, congrats to Mr Goh Yong Hang for being nominated; kudos to Mr Ian Chiew!

Leaving tangible trace of evidence to prove that my dream did happened. It isn't a short one, to correct myself; it wasn't fast: which dream of yours actually lasted for almost 4 months?...

What should I thank?
I'm not sure what gave me the strength to hang that smile on my face.
Is it my optimism? My past experience? My preparedness? Or just my indifference?

Not easy
Listening to how Macus is drowning himself with alcohol, hearing Darren talk about how difficult is it to pull out of a past relationship, seeing Alvin posts on Facebook about how much he hates the idea of being in a relationship, providing ears to Gabriel grunting about his quarrel with girlfriend, and worst of them all, giving advice to Rubin about how to forget the one who's walking out on him. Nah, I've done enough talking; leave me alone...
Opened windows
I see the past every time I look out of my windows. I check out the lights from the unit you no longer stay, waiting for a familiar silhouette I once longed every night. Then I realize it was really all just a dream; one that came true too slow, ended too fast. It suddenly hit me that you've always been the one I talk to after something ends, who am I to turn to now?

There's only so much space on your Tab bar
Closing the tab of your Tumblr page means its usual spot is taken up by others on my Homepage;
and closing one tab made the others more spread out.
It means more breathing space as the processor slows down with one less application to run;
the window didn't close because that one app is down,
and neither did my lappy crashed because some inconsequential binary codes were omitted.
The other tabs stayed, and went faster.
I'll definitely be opening up that page again,
the difference being it losing permanence;
and the problem being the reluctance to lose its importance.

Well played, Mr Radio
Guess what they were playing while I took a spin?
Not over you; Someone like you; Just a kiss.

I NEED SOME BOOZE!
Because I'm so sad now! It's like my world's gonna end!!!
Oh, sweet, I think this can of Tiger will do =)

Guess I've learnt to let go of things without having the need to pick up a sedative.
Still, a can of Tiger won't kill anything other than your appetite

Someone I used to know
Everytime I feel down I just come back to the same old place hoping to see someone I don't wanna see. The person that used to be a big part of my life that I chose to drift away from turns out to be the one I wanna turn to when life takes a dip southwards.
Now tell me how much of a genius I am..
Now tell me how much of a genius I am..
Because dreams always end with you waking up to reality
Go back to your limbos of virtual lies or move on with life; we face these options every morning and it's really not that difficult to make the decision.
I haven't change a bit before and after; I just want you to be happy and if my absence is what you need, I'll take the step back readily.
No need for tears, no need for any melodrama; we both know this day will come. Find someone like me, because I was for once perfect for the past few months we were together.
I've always believe in the friends-after-break-up theory; I guess we were both just not ready to fall so deep as to lose our foothold for the step back, so let's do that now, my friend.
I fought and I've fell, but I've not regretted taking that risky step forward 4 months ago. At least now I know, we're not meant to be; I don't wanna live in the past thinking we could have been together few years back. We are history now, and history tells me we were once together. Thanks for the memory...

Jack: "our phone spoil"
Me: "what happened?! Boat capsized?!"
Jack: "ya, boat capsize..."

Alright, we know
So you can stop telling the whole world through Facebook how attractive your eyes are or how much of a cutie pie your friend thinks you are, cos we know.
We know you're not -.-
Thanks anyway, for letting me know that the attention whore from 9gag actually exist in real life as a male

It's hard with bushes and you feel awesome sitting on top of it
The description is not the described.
I'm talking bout the mountain,
But if you're only hearing what I say, you'll never get the picture

Would you trust a naked guy who offers you his clothes?
Then don't trust the one that says "I love you" without loving himself
So I heard it's fun going against the rule
Parking along a single continuous white line, how fun that sounds?!!
It's $70 worth of fun-filled coolness -.-
--
See, I even posted my rants with a picture; how cool is that!
Because when I saw it, I was puking rainbow! Oh, no pun intended, Darren. :)

My blog's been filled with all those touchy touchy pictures and it's fast becoming like a Tumblr,
so NO!
Enjoy the lengthy post!
And I'm not even sorry for the long posts...

Are you afraid of Piaopiao?!
Because some noob pig just called me while she's in the lift asking if "You're still outside?" out of the blues.
Don't think I don't know what you're doing!
Just let me always be the guy you call

Are you proud to have me as your friend?
This is one question that makes us fight so hard to be around our friends.
Have you ever wondered why your parents always find that you are not putting in enough effort?
Because "are you proud to have me as your child" is the one question some of us never have the need to ask.
We know that no matter how much a failure we are, our parents will always be proud over the slightest achievements we accomplish and that is why we always take them for granted.
And it is also the reason why they always fall so hard and feel so sad when you fail the smallest request they ask from us.
The higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment they say;
I guess this is one case that never fits the bill.
--
We always go to our parents when we are hurt, as though they are superhuman;
truth is, there are times when they are weak and need your time for a heart-to-heart session.
Spare 15 minutes out of the 8 hours you spend with your friends to listen to the ones that love you most.
You may not feel it because you think that there's still time for that in the future when you grow up.
Wrong, because it's not you that's growing up;
it's them that's growing old.

Cry baby!
“哎哟，为什么会有这样的小孩！”
That was the impression I gave my aunt when I was young cos I always cry over the slightest thing! Nothing much has changed, just that people are seeing less of it.

Singaporean Singapore: I am happy I get to serve Singapore!

Shame on you bro, shame on you! And all who are ever-ready to give up your red passport.
I may disagree with some of what the incumbent is doing or saying, but the so-called change that you are looking for is precisely why so many other nations are NOT succeeding; it's not even about the end result, the process is destructive enough to kill. Even if you are unhappy with how our "Draconian" and "Authoritarian" form of one-party government has brought us stability and development, compare the kind of opportunities you are given while in Singapore to those of our neighbouring citizens. You are complaining so much about FTs, but are you willing to lay the bricks or clean the toilet? Is it not because of "them" that we are what we are today? Accept this fact: your grandparents were FTs; and I am pretty sure they didn't complain when the red passport was so readily given to them! They fought so hard to get it, and now you're giving it up so easily, how ironic that you are now somewhere else being a FT yourself (think of how others are looking at you now)! Look around you, is the competition from the FTs so tough that you are sweeping the floor with a graduate degree in your pocket? No! In fact, you are still earning much more than what your counterparts from other countries are earning (and so why are we complaining that LHL is earning more than Obama when you are probably earning more for the same position as someone from US?) And yes, face the fact, I never like people from certain other nationality coming in to "dilute" our culture, but is their presence here still a want or has it become a need? Think about it, what if one day they are done with their mining here and leave us after wiping their ass clean? Sounds familiar? It's the same argument so heated up few decades back about bringing MNCs in, where all of you people who are against FTs are like those genius rejecting the idea of taking the risk that comes along with these Foreigners. Look now, look you simpletons, everyone had the last laugh for even if you had lost your case, you benefited from the government's apparent "foolishness." You really rather anything but PAP? Tell me who do you wanna trust to bring you an average of 8% GDP growth for 2 decades then. What you have been eating, drinking, sheltered in, living in and traveled in, they didn't come because LKY was revolutionary, they came because the team were made up of visionaries. Now tell me more about how you DIDN'T have a smooth MRT ride for the past few decades and then tell me how you complained about the one-in-a-thousand chance of you being caught up in the train. Damn the public transport for breaking down only after so many years of being a good servant.
Anyway, I don't have a comment box so your views are not required. Okay, thank you, goodbye.

Situation unconsidered!
With HDB offering me last week, this week's wait is just about NTU's offer. If the latter is giving me, I'll take it for it being bondless; of course if it rejects, I'll just take up the former.
"In the process of our review of all the applications, we have had to turn down many good candidates. However we are pleased to inform you that you...
have been placed on the Waitlist for further consideration"
Now, I'm on the damn Waitlist for NTU... This is bullshit!!

It's becoming a torture!
Everyday I just sit by my comp and refresh my inbox every now and then;
and check out my mail box promptly at 5pm every evening.
It's taking a toll on me...
Just send me the damn Letter of Offer!!!

You're keeping so much to yourself
sometimes I wonder if your smiles are real
--
I haven't faked mine though...

I haven't faked mine though...
We've been talking for so long
I cannot imagine one day you leave my life.
You presence haven't been very significant;
but your absence will definitely be impactful,
something about cherishing only when you lose it I heard...
You told me how I'll be better off without you,
and I thought about it; it's pretty true.
There's so many things I could be doing if I don't have you,
and so much things I can let go off when you're not mine.
But what's the point?
What's having all these when it's not gonna be shared with you.
You've been different, unlike any others;
and I used to think that leaving you will be easy.
Trust me, I've tried;
I tried to feel the joy without you,
it was of no use.
Now I really know...
Even if you had a million reason to leave,
I'd hold on to you and not give up,

But my mind is just drifting away every single second.
The only thing I'm capable of doing now, is to watch HIMYM and Family Guy... -.-

Awkward moment
So I went into the carpark and found a lot at one of the lower decks. I happily took my time to park, doing a few adjustment to make it just nice in the middle of the lot, thinking since no one's there waiting for me...
When I finally got my car in and off my lights, the car beside suddenly drove off -.-
I would have gestured some vulgar signs if I were him, waiting for some retard make a perfect parking 4am in the morning.

Why does life always give you lemon?
Because it thinks you're strong enough to make yourself a lemonade. Of course, with or without sugar is your choice!
Feels good
When you know some of your friends trust you so much as to make you their referees. And it feels even better knowing many more would do the same for you.
