Remember a few posts ago that I said that love does not have a meaning, well now it befits the phrase, ' being fucked up'.

Love is a double edged sword. Love is being stressed. Love is unfair. Love is something you have to give and be given, not to be taken. Love is shit. Love is crap. Love is, putting it bluntly, involving both parties' sexual organs. Love is not being happy, but contented. Love isn't perfect because no one is. Love is sleeping on a king-sized bed. Love is when your mum shits and your dad bathes. Love is something you think you have. Love is red lipstick. Love is in the form of a heart shape. Love is gulping down alcohol profusely. Love is chain smoking. Love is emotional. Love is demoralising.

Different ways to describe love, but more importantly, nothing still explains it.

Back to the caghole.

Last day of holidays today and I'm going to enjoy it as much as possible. When I say enjoy, it's staying at home and chilling.

And so I've finished the 100 cigarettes on Saturday so it's 100 in 11 days. Not sure it that's a record.

So this may be my last post for a while.

Money so easy to earn ah?

: smokeandbeer; October 14th, 3:18

Today I went to Orchard with Sel and Evan because they said they were buying stuff and I just decided to tag along. In the end they bought nothing and I bought a pair of pants and a shirt.

And then we went to Flyer to have a Fried Chicken dinner. We talked about old times in secondary school and how good it was compared to now, like the apocalyptically stupid things we did then. What burning a pillar, making a fire'wall', stealing things and the trolley. Oh boy the trolley, made us laugh like mad.

So i'm looking at the LV website now, scanning through what may be my next wallet, but I'm still undecided whether to buy it or to save up.

What is the world coming to?

: smokeandbeer; October 8th, 1:10

We should all be grateful to live in Singapore, free of natural disasters and not so bad weather.

There were many natural disasters in the past month and they have been coming thick and fast so we may even be confused with went with which. Typhoon in indonesia? Earthquake in Philippines?

Typhoons have been becoming more and more powerful over the years and his year it had killed dozens if not hundreds in Vietnam and Philippines. And we get the word of Manila being 80% flooded. Manila is a big city and let's say 3 million people live in there, that's 2.4 million people displaced. And still word has it that another typhoon is going hit Japan soon. They aren't only becoming more powerful but also more frequent and what contributes to all this madness? Global warming. And still America and China do not want to significantly reduce their greenhouse emissions. If every country can do it, so can they. They are contributing to people's deaths indirectly and that really pisses me off.

And then there's earthquakes. These are completely unavoidable and unpredictable. 2 in Indonesia, 1 that generated a tsunami in Samoa and both combined has killed thousands.

Think of this, people in other parts of the world are living their lives on the edge and we here, sitting and complaining that the weather's too hot and all those trivial matters. It just puts me to shame.

If this continues, Doomsday 2012 would be something true indeed.

Many many

: smokeandbeer; October 6th, 17:14

I have a 100 cigarettes in my bag now, lol.

Wonder how i'm gonna finish them.

Everything's perfect if you think it is, isn't it?

: smokeandbeer; October 5th, 23:53

Well today's the first proper day i had a rest in a month and, what a month it was. If it wasnt for the burden cpf I would have 1.2k in my pocket but as it is, it's still a cool 1k and the best thing is it's coming in mid or end october.

So i might think that this holidays has been perfect because i've still got 2 weeks of further rest. Or is it?

Remeber on my last post that said I'll be gone to sleep for a very long time, that was the plan. Until morning that is. Fucking people renovating the house upstairs at 8 in the morning. So i slept at 2 and woke up at 8, great start. And it has been going on until today and will probably start tomorrow again.

And then there's the view from my room window, it's unblocked and I can see the sunset everyday, but the sun shines in the afternoon making my room very warm.

There's life, and I mean single life. Nothing to worry about, nothing to care about, no burdens, no fights, not over-spending money (if you exclude cigarettes that is). And then sometimes you just wish for someone to be beside you, to go through tough times with you, to console you when you're down.

Nothing's perfect in the world, but some things are, in mine.

Done, Over, No More.

: smokeandbeer; October 3rd, 3:24

Today was last day of work and I think it's 4 weeks well spent. In contrast to rotting at at home and not getting a single cent, 4 weeks of working on an honestly boring job seems great and the best thing is, there is a sense of achievement for this holidays. Anyway, I've still got 2 more weeks of rest to go, so I'm quite glad things have worked out the way they did. I not only made money but also new friends, new people and got a taste of how office life is.

And the verdict is, as a full time job, an office job is second only to sticking your hands up a horse's backside. It is that bad. Having said that, usually jobs which are boring pay a lot more than jobs which are interesting, which has lead me to think that you can never have an occupation that you wanted.

All of these, coupled with the guarantee of more than 8 hours sleep tonight, makes me really excited for tomorrow's gathering.

I'm off to my pillow now, and will be for some time. Good night.

(no subject)

What is love? This a question which is as vague as let's say one of Pluto's moons.

To me, love is to have a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. Alright let's say that you've always wanted a Ferrari, and you'd like a Porsche which is technically a better car then the Ferrari, which would you choose? You've got tons of respect for the Porsche, but you would eventually want the Ferrari even though it is more expensive because you've got the passion for it; you'd wanna make love to it. Love works practically in the same way, you have to have passion to love somebody if not no matter how much you try you can't love her. This is my thinking.

But there are some other points. Most say love really isn't a real thing. Love means the guy wanting sex and the girl needing someone to love, which I agree with it. However, this may not be true as some people can put aside these things and still be together. But, then again, how long do the 2 parties really love each other for? Forever until they die? No.

It's hard to really comprehend the meaning of passion but for me, it's something to do with your mental state. Being passionate about something is one that can be explained by many things. However, not all of these are explanable.

'There is no love in the world'. What do you think about this statement? And is there such a thing as true love (I'm not talking about mother bathing, father shitting)? Everyone has their own ways of defining love but for me it is still something which cannot be explained, maybe you can have a try.

3 days of of rest.

: smokeandbeer; September 18th, 21:31

The weekend is finally here and I'd like to wish all muslims a very happy Puasa.

There's a video clip in on my facebook profile that shows a video which is both frightening and funny, you should got and take a look, i guarantee that you wont be able to sleep easily that night.

Nothing much to post except that Kanye West deserves a slap. To Kanye : ' Yo Kanye, your songs, character and looks are the worst, worst of ALLLLL TIME'

Coffee, Cigarettes, Korean food and 1200 Malaysians

: smokeandbeer; September 17th, 19:59

9 days of work have past and it feel as though I'm in a stage in life where money outranks every single other thing in this world.

So, when the database was assigned to me, there were 1200 malaysians to call and I've done about 90% of these. I think I've learnt more malay in 5 days compared to the past 15 years. which makes me tri-lingual-ish now.

Lunch everyday would be Korean food which comes in some hotplate and what can I say, it's fantastic.

And now a pack every 2 days, lung cancer soon.

On wednesday, I was surfing the net while holding a cup of coffee, suddenly some idiot pulled my chair back and guess what, coffee was spilt and I took a long time cleaning it.

Off to eat now.

If I came to power

: smokeandbeer; September 14th, 19:26

Well today was as usual very boring at work, so that gave me time to think of this next post.

So, if I was president of Singapore, what laws would I pass?

Firstly, no foreign workers like chinamen or banglas, they are hogging the seats on the mrt and they are really inconsiderate for example, spitting everywhere. A reason why Singapore's population is growing at such a fast pace is because these people are flocking into the country, and even some high ranking minister said 'We should welcome these people with open arms'. Why do so when they smell as funny as that are and as inconsiderate as that, I don't understand it.

Secondly, strictly no floating caps. It sucks when you think that people think that it is something which will make you look uber cool but the matter of fact is people who have no brains or are retarded are wearing them.

I can't think of other reasons so when I have a brainwave, I shall update this, that's all for now.

(no title) or rather, can't be bothered to come up with one.

: smokeandbeer; September 12th, 1:35

Today marks the completion of first week of work and to sum it up, easy but boring and thats $300 bucks in the pocket. 5 days down, 15 to go. I have to say I think I'm getting along quite well with colleagues as Weixian will only be too happy to explain.

Over the past days, my computer have been showing signs that it'll die soon. Today it took 10 mins to startup. 10 mins, that's longer than the time it takes for Neptune to orbit round the sun. It blue screened once and in the end I had to try to free up some space in the main boot up drive. And so I scanned through the files to see which I could move or delete, so I moved all my songs into another drive. And then when I thought it was done, I went to dock my ipod to charge it using the laptop and guess what, the ipod synced and everything inside's gone, all poofed. So I spent the last hour or so trying to put the songs back into itunes and luckily the album arts didn't disappear if not I'd be a very sad boy. So again, I wasted precious sleeping time and if there weren't soccer tommorrow, I could've been sleeping longer, I hope it rains tommorrow morning.

This post is crap, don't waste your time reading it.

: smokeandbeer; September 11th, 0:03

I'll die tommorrow if I don't sleep soon. But the problem is that I can't, insomnia is like a barrier to sleep in the same way clothes are a barrier to the body, if you know what i mean ^^

It's September 11th today, 8 years after the tragedies in America and my heart goes out to the families of every single person who was either killed, missing or injured. Which prompted me to think of the different types of ways you may die.

For example, you may die in a car crash whilst speeding, you may get AIDS, you may get H1N1, dying of old age, accidentally jumping off a building. But which would you rather?

To me, I'd like to die in a car crash in a fireball because I was speeding, because, in hell, you'll be going through the pearly gates sideways with you on fire. Compared to dying of various diseases where the picture you get is having a tube stuck up your nose, on a bed, with holes in your body. Also there's another reason why I'd like to go thru the pearly gates on fire. By doing you, you would give your son or daughter something to boast about. 'Daddy died in a fireball in a car crash' - How cool is that compared to, 'Daddy died with a tube stuck up his nose'.

Which set me thinking again, is there such a place as hell or heaven? Or do our souls stay on earth? What about our souls dying when we die?

Which again set me thinking, is there such a thing as soul?

Which once more set me thinking, if there is, what are souls made of?

And then suddenly something come into my mind, I was having insomnia.

See I told you this was crap. :D

Stupid you know whos

: smokeandbeer; September 7th, 19:31

I'm back from work and today was the very first day. Work was unbelievably easy and slacking was frequent but to sum it all up it was absolutely 100% boring. After you get the hang of calling, you will call like your mad but after 3 hours of solid calling, you feel that you havent got any life, you'll feel that you havent got any friends and you feel that nothing is more boring than this, apart from a physics lesson of course. But do you get paid to attend a physics lesson? Hell no, so the motivation was the money that kept me going through the first day. 120 calls a day and trust me, after you've done 70 80 calls, you'll feel wasted.

Time for something more serious and more concerning the society. Today, on my way home, 3 little dark-ish humans came to sit beside me, one holding a handphone blasting music that I can't understand, another with a floating cap, another with a drink. I guess you may roughly know what type of humans they are. They were no more than let's say, 13 years of age but their brains seemed to only grow for 3 of those 13. So it was to be that suddenly one of them handed the empty cup to me, which i promptly rejected by ignoring which made them really red faced and suddenly the most little of those cows or wombles if you wanna call them, spat a bit of the straw onto the woman sitting in front of them. They thought it was funny and it wasn't.

And so they were showing the qualities of what an imbecile would typically do. I don't mean that all of them are like that because in Singapore once you stereotype, your in jail for a considerable amount of time. But among there there are several if not a few of these black sheeps (No pun intended) who think that the world is theirs and everyone owes them a living, and I really am starting to detest them now for being such pests to society.

First, I shall start with a fact, more and more of today's youngsters are wearing floating caps. Why? It is really an eyesore and I think the reason for doing that is because the place where their brains should be is filled with bone which is why they have to have their brains above their heads and then covering it with a cap, which is what I now call a thinking cap. (ok not funny)

Secondly, I do not understand why some people have to put their legs onto the back of a seat on the bus. they may argue that there is not enough legroom but in actual fact, if they had a proper spine and a proper ass, the legs would fit just fine and not be seen as a lazy sloth or an invertebrate.

Lastly, is carrying a zippo lighter and letting the world know about it by clicking and clacking and thinking it's cool. If you don't smoke, don't openly show off you new shiny zippo lighter, makes you look like a cock.

Oh and while we are on the subject of lighters, people keep telling smokers to stop smoking and bluh bluh bluh and things about how they will eventually get cancer. Matter of fact is, when someone's birthday comes or when there is a need to start a barbeque, the first person people turn to are smokers and then after they have the candle burning or the bbq started, they turn around and say, stop smoking, bad for health. Quite contradicting isn't it.

Facebook

: smokeandbeer; August 30th, 19:18

Facebook is a powerful thing. It can distract you from your favourite TV show or even you favourite food for that matter and I believe most of us are already addicted to it, so much so that when we study, we leave it on, just in case if you know what I mean. It's amazing how so many people (including me) get addicted so easily so quickly.

So as of today, I've only completed 10 out of 12 chapters for BLAW, which is fast becoming the most hated module ever on Earth, exam's on tuesday. I'm quietly confident that I'll fail and forward the module and only a miracle would save me now.

Also, I shall take up some space to gloat about United's win yesterday. The match was epic, so were the controversies and mainly the own goal. I mean have you ever seen such a good header? It was perfectly glanced into his own net.

So, 3 posts in 4 days, shows how much time I've got, and how I've given up.

Nothing to do

: smokeandbeer; August 29th, 19:11

Sorry for my rant the last post, but i had to.

But something from the lighter side, I just realised what my brithday should actually mean is this bot is trusted.

December 20, 1991

Lucky Color:	Amber
Personality Strengths:	Charisma, Love
Personality Weakness(es):	Impatience
Successful Career Path:	Fashion
Sense of Humor Style:	Cliched
Adjectives to Describe You:	enterprising, enterprising

Description: A hip non-conformist who truly stands for his/her beliefs - you are out to make a difference in this world, and you have a realistic chance of success. You have always been self-driven and derive your inspiration from those close to you. Ambitious - and why shouldn't you be - the sky is the limit for you!

Ok firstly, impatience is probably the most true for them all here and guess what, it's bad. And isn't it weird there are 2 words to describe me and they are the same. How descriptive is that? Cliched humour style, don't really know whats that. And successful career path, I cant be good at fashion because firstly, it's too flashy for me and secondly I've the aesthetic ability of cows. So that's not true, at the moment at least.

Recently, I've developed a strong liking for Backstreet Boys, dunno why. AJ is so handsome :D

I dodged a bullet

: smokeandbeer; August 26th, 22:22

Sorry I have been letting this rot but I finally found time today to have a little write up,

Recently I've been plagued problems, lots of them and the one worth mentioning was a choice between work or camp. $1300 or a puny little 6 day camping holiday.

And then the camping holiday turned into a concentration camp and I was glad i pulled out before i was duped. So that was an oppurtunity cost well given up. It's not so much of the content in the camp that i dislike, but it's the way matters are handled. It's just too aggressive and sometimes even disrespectful and in my opinion, wrong.

Yes, by all means use various blackmail-ish ways in order to secure your target group, but spare a thought for the main people. I have to say that they had put a lot of effort in and it is commendable, but less could be said about probably any other thing. And remember, I ain't talking about the content of the camp, so before you look me up LOOK at the ABOVE.

And so the moaning and groaning continues. I have nothing against the people, don't get me wrong, it is the way they react to situations and then going about doing it.

And those who really know my reasons for pulling out. Coincidence? Even the clock is showing 22:22.

A month on.

: smokeandbeer; July 20th, 1:08

I haven't posted for 3 weeks already. Okay, firstly 3 weeks ago there were tests I had to study for and I failed blaw, no surprises really, second is the mountain of projects we had to hand up. Those two are good reasons aren't they?

Havent been going out much lately, except going to watch transformers twice a couple of weeks ago. Last friday, we had a 2b outing to Marina Barrage and it was the usual stuff, playing cards and watching people cam whore and raping people and being raped. Other then these nothing else. However, there was surprise though.

I really wanted to blog about one of my train rides home a week back, because it was the longest train ride of my life. We left dover in an empty train, feeling really happy and smug and suddenly the train stopped for at least 2 mins at every station, and progress was down to a crawl. To honest, I would've been able to walk faster than the train. Turned out to be a power failure at Bugis and the ride took me about 1 hr and 15 mins. Fuck SMRT.

And, the big news is DTRM 04 got quarantined on Thursday after some burden tio H1N1. It's a long holiday for us and I totally appreciate it. It gave me time to finish off the project and even get some playtime in.

School starts for us again tmr and I've been having multiple aches on my body and my hip is really painful when i bend down. Osteoporosis? First lesson's BLAW. Welcome back to hell.

Updated! Again

: smokeandbeer; June 27th, 23:47

I've finally found a good reason to return to blogging. How long was it since I last posted? Two and a half years maybe. Literally 2 people have been asking me for a new post, so this is one to appease those ghosts.

Holidays are ending soon and tests are coming. Out of 3 reports I've done 2 which is quite good progress done. All that's left is TTP and tests to study for. The past week has been uneventful although 3 fridays ago, my class and I went to the zoo, and 2 fridays ago went to a gathering that 03 has kindly organised.

I havent been a good keeper for weeks now, and my teammates say I'm becoming a fatty which makes me slower. I want to disagree, but I can't. It true. Time to limit eating and unlimit exercising.

I spent the whole of last week RC-ing, waiting for SNSD's new song and Series 13 of Top Gear. I've reached the max level in RC and it's getting a little boring. The song is great and the MV is even better :D Top Gear was business as usual with 3 middle aged Men reviewing cars and falling down along the way.

Some Zoo photos:

Taming Mob in Maple :D

Crocodile Hunter

The people.

SNSD's new song - Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)

Sexy right? :D

H1N1 flu numbers are on the rise, there's more than 80 cases today. Sooner or later we will all get it, it's only a matter of time. When don't they wanna close all schools like when SARS hit. Do they think this isn't a serious flu? It's still a killer. And irresponsible people like that German Imbecile went shopping with the flu. And this stupid father wanting to escape from the quarantine centre with his son. How irresponsible is that?

Last Monday, went to sel's house to stay overnight. Zk couldn't come because he told his parents he would be going to Aloha Resort, which was supposed to be a quarantine place for people. And so he didnt come and got pwned by his father. I was LOL-ing. In the end only me and yh and eric drank the whisky. My resolution for next week : smoke less. This last week I've already been through 3 packs. And I didnt give anyone any.

Then today I got this from facebook courtesy of Eric:

To be honest, I'm afraid for my future. NS soon and no one has come along. Wonder when she'll come.

This is my longest post yet so enjoy and I'm off for a smoke.

Race ambassadors? more like free labour.

: smokeandbeer; June 9th, 22:24

Met Darrell at 11 today to go down to orchard, met Crosby, Weili, Kelvin and went to Far East subway to lunch. We were running late and had to cab down to the place at Grange road from Wisma, which is like 2 mins away, 10 if you walk.

The title's pretty much self-explanatory really. We all thought we were gonna get pay and were quite excited and looking forward to it but luckily Weili clarified with the interviewer about our income. They said that there was no income and it was all voluntary, what a bummer plus a waste of time. Our group was quite cross about it.

After that, Crosby went toa payoh and the rest of us went to bugis. Weili then suggested we should go to some random coffee shop for a curry chicken rice. In the end, it was closed. Then Charissa suggested Manhattan Fish Market because as Weili said, it was still 4.30 and lunch special hasnt ended. When we reach iluma and the restaurant, guess wad, the clock suddenly became 5.30. Cute Weili cannot read time. In the end we settled for bugis junction's foodcourt, which was so-so.

Den homed it in a crowded train.

-End-
