hello friends it has been quite some time since i last blogged :)
went to watch inglorious basterds today which i thought was utterly disappointing. i've no idea why everyone's been telling me it's damn good cos it looks to me like one big feel good nazi killing movie. honestly i thought it was based on a true story or something like that till i saw how two retards gunned down hilter in an assassination that even a 5 year old kid could carry out. and the story line is utterly impossible and filled with long long long dialogues which half the time i do not understand cos it's either in german or the lingo is just alien to me. the only thing i picked out was when they mentioned jerry which meant germans and i know it cos mr teo gene-en told us while we were going through some lit prose bout nazis and it led me to think about all that wilfred owen war poems and how both sides have to dehumanize each other before they're able to kill one another. and i realised it's been awfully long since i touched lit and i really really miss it. which led me to realise that i'm wasting two years in army bumming around rotting my brain away. sigh. haha so basically the entire movie's one big farce where seemingly murderous characters can be a comic relief. it's something like burn after reading where one moment u can be laughing and the nxt moment the guy is shot dead but somehow u're stil laughing and after that you question yourself why and it doesn't leave a very good after feeling.
this weekend's f1 week and i think it's really awesome how such a small country singapore can host such a massive event. 2 years ago if you ask anyone on the streets whether f1 is possible in singapore they would laugh and you and see you as a retard, cos the closest racing track we have is pie and cte and aye and all the eeeeees. but lo and behold 2 years later we have f1 cars racing pass esplanade and supreme court and all over town. who would have thought our roads were actually wide or long enough to fit f1 cars? and the race route is incredibly awesome no one would have known how to plan it in such a small congested space but yet we've done it. aren't you proud to be a singaporean? haha i really am. for this weekend only though. everytime i see an angmoh wearing the signature f1 pass and holding a huge singapore map entering a mrt, i feel like smiling at them and telling them welcome to singapore. but of cos social norms restrict that and the entire mrt wld think i'm a retard or someone out to swindle angmohs. so secretly inside i'm happy that they're here and i'm proud that they're in singapore. so let us just take a moment to be proud of this tiny island, that even in such a contrived restricted environment where even pole dancers have to apply for permits, our pseudo-democratic government had actually planned and allowed for such a massive ground breaking event to be hosted here. of cos let's not go into how meticulously they have calculated the costs and benefits and realised that the economical benefits far far outweigh the opportunity costs of blocking up the busiest roads in the country for 3 full days, cos that would spoil the fun of being a proud singaporean yes?
and cheers to lewis hamilton :)

HELLO WORLD
yes it's been an ultra long time since i blogged. after my previous post, blogging in brunei became virtually impossible with nosey regulars hovering behind my back whenever i used the computer. but i have to admit brunei has been good, better than my first trip. and i realised the importance of going with nice friends, people whom you can click with, cos they'll get you through the otherwise unbearable 34 days of brunei boredom. hence, a big THANK YOU to all who went with me to brunei, though i doubt any would be reading this. no one knws that this page exists and i wanna keep it that way haha.
the first two weeks in brunei was spent on fervent trips to the gym, and badminton after. we were basically very very healthy people. but the third week someone discovered that we could all link up laptops to create some ad-hoc wireless lan and play dota with absolutely no lag, and henceforth hell began haha. dota sessions started from midnight and ended 5,6am the following day. and we only slept a couple of hours before going for work, which usually start in the early afternoon. and by some miracle there wasn't any flying during the last week, so we had longer dota sessions, till 7,8am in the morning. and more than often i find myself waking up at 5pm walking about like a zombie searching for food (that's the screwed up time when lunch hadalready been cleared but dinner had not arrived) and this daily routine completely screwed up body clock, had a freakin hard time when i came back to singapore. haha and my dad constantly nagged at how unhealthy my lifestyle was. argh.
and brunei had been a a month long of nice personal time for me. you get to think through alot of stuff that you wouldn't back in singapore cos you're just too busy. and somehow the freedom of being alone rocks. i didn't have to answer to anyone and no one cared bout me. to be honest i got quite irritated with my parent's constant nagging when i got back haha but now i'm numb to it :) and i find that i have more meaningful conversations with people instead of all that msn nonsense back home. emails and facebook are much much more effective HAHA. a huge huge thankew to all who replied to my melancholic monologues hahaha.
but of course having said all that, home is still the best :)
I'M BACK YOOOOOOO!

i fucking fucking hate people who linger behind you like some housefly watching your every move when you use the computer. there's such a thing called privacy and i think it's something regulars do not understand. some are even more thick skinned as to ask you to introduce pretty cute girls to them when u're on facebook, or pointing out every girl which pops out on your pictures and asking you who they are and whether can intro or not. fucking irritating bastards. they seriously have zero eq. there was even this regular who stood behind me for a full TEN MINUTES commenting on everything that i did on the com, and he didn't even get it when i started ignoring his questions and surfed MSN. he simply asked "whoa you really so free nothing better to do go surf msn huh?" i gave up and just walked away, and the best part was he still didn't get it that i was irritated with him. EPIC FAILURE MAN. sometimes i really feel like screaming in their faces GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY COMPUTER and risk being caught in an awkward situation for the next 30 days. zero eq regulars.
other than that, i guess life's pretty relaxing in brunei. i work an average of only 5 hours a day, and the rest of the time i'm free. which is where the problem comes. too much free time equates to massive boredom. even after gymming every single day and the occasional dota, i find myself staring out into space asking what am i doing here rather too often.
oh and my dreams are getting more exciting than real life, which is really very very very sad. i think i'm having much more fun in my dreams living my own manifestations, which explains why i sleep more than ten hours a day.
and i still marvel at how bruneians can spend all their life here and not get bored to death. i really really want to know what an average bruneian does for a day. do they carve chopsticks out of wooden blocks or sth? or maybe count the number of hairs they have? hahaha
horrible sad boring times.

HELLO WORLD!
this blog is finally alive again cos i'm in brunei! haha so for those of you who still come here occasionally, THIS BLOG IS OFFICIALLY ALIVE AGAIN!
rahh i can't believe i'm in this god forsaken place again for one full month. back again for another gold mining episode! haha both figuratively and literally. the allowance they're giving me is good, better than the peanuts i earn back home, so i guess i'm trading one mth of my time and life for money. wasting my life away argh. and i might really find oil here and strike it ultra rich till i can buy over the saf. haha i'm probably sitting on oil now, so i shall start digging my backyard again tmr haha.
ohh and i watched gi joe yesterday. how retarded it is watching a movie on the first day in brunei. that's how bored we got. and gi joe is really a huge piece of incoherent bullshit. it's street fighters cum mortal combat cum star wars cum everything that's epic and out of the world all meshed up into one big movie. there's no plot and the movie doesn't make sense. if hollywood really thinks viewers out there are just here for fast cars hot babes and big explosions, i think they're getting stupid. argh waste of my 7 bucks. haha
and now i really have nothing to do except for the 6 books i brought here. hahaha thank you renee for contributing to 2! books will be my best frens here and hopefully my brain won't degenerate further.
boredom boredom boreeeeeeeeedommmmmm

so michael jackson is dead. and every single day people are flooding to send their last wishes, virtually every news station in the world has extensive coverage of every single detail of his death, and radio stations started playing his songs. it's a world wide phenomenon, and i think it's kinda sad how i cannot relate to him like my parents did, and the legions of fans who flooded times square. sometimes i wish i was borned in that era, where music came from radios and cd album, and the world wide web wasn't as established. it is impossible to have such a single musical icon in this modern era. anyone with a studio at home and a myspace page can make their own music and upload it for the world, u start getting alot of one hit wonders. people who just become famous for awhile and die down because they suck. u get quantity more than quality, and that's exactly how the web is screwing everything up. artists cannot survive as they did before cos everyone justs downloads music for free. and it's really sad cos there's no one single musical icon now, nor in the future, who can hold a torch to mj or the other performers like beatles and stuff. we can no longer relate to the moonwalk as how our parents did, nor the pelvic thrusts. oh wells but like wad i always say, i'm a victim of illegal music downloading rather than an advocate. u dun throw money on the floor and expect ppl to not pick it up haha.
anyway! i'm down with fluuuuuuu. sucks really cos of the timing. if only my flu came one day late i would be able to go for odac outing tonite. rahh. and instead, being a socially responsible self righteous citizen (i'm quite sure i've accumulated hell lot of good karma tonite :)), i ate pizza hut and watched harry potter at HOME while odac was feasting on timbre's pizza and enjoying the nice ambience. but of cos the pizza got soggy after the rain came and they had no where to sit. haha i guess it's a fair trade off la hor :) while the flu screwed up my plans for the entire weekend, it opened up a whole new range of possibilities for next week cos i'm on a six day mccccc! doctors now are damn imba! u get a flu u get one week mc, though he kept reminding me that i had a 13% chance of my flu being a swine flu. and honestly when your fever's 39.3 and u feel like a zombie, u might really think u're down with swine flu. that was when i realise how useless the army aviva insurance is cos it doesn't pay if u loose a brain. they have a price tag to every part of your body but not the brain! so wad happens when my brain gets fried by fever? i dun get a single cent! and every month i pay 12.80 to them and they do not insure the most valuable part of my body. retards. but anyway i'm not officially quarantined. i'm just quarantined from work but not from going out. whoa this is the most imba type of mc hahaha. just wait till i get well man i'm gonna fully utilise the rest of my mcs till i fall sick again and the cycle repeats all over. hahahaha.
well besides the flu, this week has been rather awesome. dinner with meixian at equinox, which burnt such a big hole in my pocket that i'm officially bankrupt now. and now i knw why atas tai tais are always so skinny, cos the portion of food served at atas restaurants cannot even feed a 6 year old kid. when the menu writes king scallops, it sounds utterly mouth watering until u realise they only serve 3 scallops. and they charge u 42 bucks. hahaha i gotta get used to eating less man. but the ambiance was totally awesome. u get to see the entire skyline, better than sitting singapore flyer yo.
met up with drey on wednesday at this bar called 7ate9. haha weird name. weird food oso. calamari rings come in black. haha like totally black. i dunno what the hell they coated it with but i really think they shld use a more appetizing colour hahaha. anyway had a nice time catching up! :) and yes audrey your arms are bigger than mine LOL. just kidding la haha dun be paranoid and become anorexic hor.
flu flu please go awayyyyyy.

zouk's degradation's ground zero. u get to see drunk ppl spewn all over the floor, accompanied by their vomit. and once in a while they carry dead drunk unconscious ppl (reminds me of farrell chan) out to the streets to rot. and they wld just lie there like drunk homeless beggars puking and rolling in their own vomit (think farrell chan again hahahaha). u knw i did a bit of mental sums - let's say u need 10 shots to get yourself drunk and each shot cost $5, that wld already cost u $50. plus your entrance fee $25, u pay $75 to get yourself utterly humiliated lying dead drunk on the floor while the rest of the world looks on and laughs at you (yes i was one of latter :)). these people are either stupid or they just have too much money to throw. i tink the place where the highest concentration of ppl vomiting is not hospitals but zouk. they're literally EVERYWHERE and if u're suay enough u wld step on some without even noticing. this girl wearing HIGH HEELS slipped on vomit and fell straight onto the nice fresh pool of warm vomit. her entire dress kana lah damn sad. i pity her boyfriend who's gonna fetch her home later. but no one heard her scream cos the music was deafening, and the pool of vomit continued it's ambush on unknowing high heel wearers hahaha. in fact i tink u can get away with murder at zouk cos the music drowns out everything. no i won't even consider that music, it's NOISE. i'd stand in front of a super puma helicopter with it's twin turbine engines in full force and still feel more comfortable than standing nxt to the mega speakers in zouk. we gotta start clubbing with earplugs, think of your poor ear drums people.
and somehow mambo jambo is strangely addictive when u're half drunk and half tired at 2 in the morning. somehow dancing like what little kids wld in front of a campfire doesn't seem as sissy anymore. and i'm gonna buy sam ting a crown to wear to mambo he's really the king. hahahaha. i tink u can be one of those volunteer dancers on stage alr lah. SAM TING THE MAMBO JAMBO KINGG.
but the group of people i really pity most are those poor cleaners. they literally arm themselves with brooms and go around the dance floor HUNTING and sweeping vomit into their dustpans. they're the caped crusaders keeping zouk safe and slip free, so u go home with clean jeans and dresses. we shld pay tribute to them or sth, erect a totem in front of zouk to honour them haha. and the scene where this cleaner unceremoniously stepped over a dead drunk and swept off the vomit right in front of his face was both sad and hilarious. what is the world becoming to mannn.
haha anyway met up with sihan and mingyi yesterday afternoon, and i was diagnosed with being sexually frustrated. i actually goggled it and this is the definition:
a person who is generally stressed out or frustrated due to either lack of sex/sexual encounters or due to bad sex.
signs of the sexually frustrated are said to include chewing ice, eating chocolate and peeling labels off of beer bottles
HAHAHAHA I CHEW ICE ALOT. shit man i gotta start finding a cure to sexual frustration or it's gonna eat me up alivvvveeeee. had a nice time catching up and stuff, and sihan drives like she's having fits. the steering wheel jerks uncontrollably even on straight roads. dangerous female drivers. u see when guys say that women shld not drive, we're not sexist but it's really cos u suck on the roads and u're a hazard to yourself and everyone around you HAHAHA.
okay sorry i dunno why i'm still so high perhaps it's cos i'm listening to mambo now. OOOHHHHHHH SQUARE ROOOMMMSSS! THEY DON'T LISTEN THEY DON'T CARE, IF A MAN IS IN DESPAIRRRRR!!
the world is horrible and warped. and
i'm gonna patent this phrase and charge people 50 cents per
usuage :)

this is our decision, to live fast and die young, we've got the vision, now let's have some fun
haha my weekdays are more happening than my weekends now. dinner with shannie one monday, catched up on lots of stuff. all the gossips and retarded shit happening around us, yeah man it's time we updated each other hahaha. and i took the cricle line for the first time. was super stunned when i saw how huge bishan circle line station was, like all these while i've been walking pass the construction sites and it didn't seem like they were doing much digging, and suddenly poof an entire underground station pops out of no where. smart has got some imba bulldozers and tractors man.
failed mambo on wednesday night resulted in a cross country trip to holland v, where we were retarded enough to eat swensens because walawala was packed to the brim. but well had quality time so it's okay. dun worry mingyi even though it's all your fault i won't blame u haha. went over to zouk to met mambo king samuel ting zhuomin. chilled at winebar and watched the world go by. people getting drunk and wasted from zouk's alocohol. i can't imagine how anyone can get drunk from that, the amount of money they spent to get wasted, crazy retards. the world is very warped. oh and chang got high on only one glass of long beach. hahaha i tink u shld drink fruit punch instead :)
impromptu outing with odac on thursday night! haha it was just supposed to be ice cream with lamly and yuanli, den xy happened to be in the vicinity so we decided to sit singapore flyer instead. but we realised it's gonna be damn boring so by some random comment from yuanli we decided to go kbox. haha and by some miracle fanzhe made it down all the way from harbourfront to join us, and wilson of cos. so the six of us went to some ulu kbox imitation which looked more like a sleazy ktv pub than kbox. i was half expecting us to be accompanied by those ktv xiao mei meis hahaha. and they shut the main doors on us when we left at 4am, got lost in some steamboat resturant which smelled like shit (i'm gonna swear off eating tom yam flavoured steamboat for a long time) and in the end we had to exit through some small door. so much for customer service ehh. oh and kbox rekindled my dreams to be singapore idol. i think i can be the next taufik. too bad the auditions close already, shall join nxt year instead den hahahaha. for now i shall just settle for cleo's most eligible bachelor.
and dinner with the guys at brewerkz on friday. haha for the first time in my life i saw kallang leisure park. or issit theatre or shopping centre argh i dunno. retarded place that's in the middle of no where. and thanks zhihan for the treat! all the best for your driving nxt week! and we finally played good poker after a gazillion weeks. 126 soon eh. hahahaa
