Me? Disco?
I received this letter the other day...
'Twas an invitation to my alma mater's
SPEECH Day
I wonder WHY they call it SPEECH day
when all they ever do is
Give out awards.
Shouldn't it be a day FOR speeches?
I mean, that's why you make a day
SPEECH Day,
isn't it?
(Not that I'm all for it though...)
So the dress code for old boys
was formal wear...
with SHIRT
and a TIE.
So I'm thinkin'...
"Yeah,that's cool."
But the shopping trip
Made me think otherwise.
It was my Mom, cousin and me
out on a shopping "trip"
to the Parkway Parade branch
of Isetan.
And we ended up
buying this:
I wouldn't mind wearin' this
out on a TGIF night with my pals.
But on an important event as stated above?
I don't think so.
Okay.
Now imagine THAT with a tie.
WITH THE SHIRT TUCKED IN!!!
I think NOT!!!
I admit,
I don't have the hottest bod in the room
But I wouldn't wanna showcase it
In THAT!
I'd look like Disco Dan
mashed up with Bozo the clown!
Personally, I preferred the OTHER one we bought.
Tucked OUT, of course.
Seriously, it looks better in real life
Than it does in the photo.
But NOOO....
They said that white wasn't 'cool'...
That it resembled my school uniform...
Like Momma, leave the fashion consultation
to ME, yeah?
No offence, but....
well, no offence.

Piss-capades and the Oblivious Ape.
For those of you
Who have gone for a full medical check-up
At your nearest neighbourhood clinic,
Riddle me this,
How does it feel
To piss
Into a CUP?
It was a pretty eye-opening
experience for me...
Not to delve into the details but
Let's just say
The PISS
Didn't exactly stay
Within
The CUP.
Just bought an awesome bag today
From some shop at White Sands Shopping Centre
Forgot the name though...
(Hey, I gotta live up to my name, right?)
Sorta like a duffel bag...
Pretty.
But I didn't exactly buy it though...
Mum's money...
Yeah.
I wish someone would just come up to me
And say,
"Thou hath hereby been
bestowed with a job."
(Okay,maybe not.)
Oh well...
Don't you just hate it
When you go to a mall/shopping centre etc.
And go to their food court/s
Only to find that there is absolutely
NO
FRICKIN'
HALAL
STALL
Anywhere in the immediate vicinity
Ain't that a FUCKIN' kick in the head???
(You should know by now I am speaking
on behalf of the Muslim population.)
It's like, there's only SO much
McDonald's/KFC/Burger King
foodstuffs
that can satisfy the natural human hunger
for variety in their meals!
Don't they (read:stallholders)
Know by now that the niche market is
In the production of Halal foodstuffs?
I mean, sure,
You can go ahead and keep your
ban mian and char siew rice stalls.
But what's in it for us Muslims?
Talk about equality.
Note: I am not out to offend any racial group in the multiracial society of Singapore. I am merely stating the facts.Take it or leave it.

Curse You, GYM!!!!! and whatnot...
Great...
My arm's FUCKING stiff!!!
Knew it...
I KNEW it...
I KNEW I shouldn't have exerted myself
on those dumbells
(no, dumbells, literally!)
And yet I did it...
WHY?
WHY???
Anyway,
Went to a gaming event today...
And I can tell you...
IT ROCKED MY SOCKS OFF!!!
One of the Highlights was an expo
on the game
"Gears Of War"
Heard of it?
Yeah,
Thought so.
And I cannot BEGIN to tell you how awesome it is...
You know how frag grenades
Are for throwing only?
In "Gears Of War",
You can tag an enemy with a GRENADE.
That's right.
Smack one of those fraggers on a Locust
And watch him run around
Totally OBLIVIOUS to what you just did
Before finlly exploding
into a dozen,
GORY
parts.
I particularly enjoyed seeing
the chainsaw bayonet in action...
'Do I hear the words INSTANT KILL?'
Call me sadistic,
But YOU play it...
And tell me it isn't HALF as satisfying
When you're slicing 'em
Rather than shooting 'em...

"Interesting" BARELY describes it....
Okay...
Today was uneventful...
Nonetheless, I shall try to keep you
Gossip-hungry monsters entertained...
So I signed up for a membership yesterday
At my district CC
(Community Centre, you noobs...)
Just so that I could get a workout
At the gym there...
$10 for 3 years
plus, gym facilities at $2 per hour
I figured,
"Yeah, reasonable enough...
I'll take it!"
And take it I did...
Went for my first workout session
AND boy, was it weird.
I found myself like such a noob
There were these middle-aged guys
pumping iron
LIKE THEIR LIVES FRIGGIN DEPENDED ON IT!
and I'm standing there...
DUMBSTRUCK
First off, I took the cycling machine for a spin...
Did pretty good on that one...
Then came the treadmill...
OH MY GOSH...
first of all, I don't know how to operate
this HUNK of JUNK
and I'm standing there
awkwardly
Trying to work out without looking
LIKE A TOTAL DUMBASS.
You might say,
I was quite successful in that....

Random muses....
I've been thinkin lately...
about starting my own video podcast...
Hmmm...
Thing is...
I DON'T KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT
...........
PODCASTING!!!
(except about downloading them,
which, I'm sure,
makes me VERY talented...)
The only actual video camera I got
Is the one on my cell phone...
Which, seriously, is the best I've got...
I know...
BIG ASPIRATIONS
Hampered by
LIMITED RESOURCES...
(kinda reminds me of economics,really.)
Oh well...
Somehow, I can't get videos on Youtube.com
To play on my blog...
NOW WHY IS THAT???
I can't tell you how much THAT sucks.
Now, on to the movies...
MUSIC & LYRICS
Awesome show...
Not your typical sob-story-tear-jerker
-ripped-off-a-romantic-novel-
movie.
Although there were some traces of it around...
But not enough to make me wanna scream,
"I PAID $6.50 FOR THIS ****???"
So yeah...
It also reminded me of how RIDICULOUS
Music videos of the 80's were...
What can I say?
You gotta see the movie
To know what I'm talking about...
What're you still looking at the computer screen for?
Get off your arse and go catch it!!!!

Something new about me....
Right then...
Let's get down to it...
Spent 3 HOURS today doing...
above all else...
SEWING.
Yes...
Contrary to "popular" belief,
Men DO sew.
Just not in public.
Or in front of women.
I think.
Anyway,
It was my jacket that needed some stitches...
(refer to previous posts)
It didnt have pockets...
(like most hoodies do)
So I made some...
By myself...
(with some help, of course.)
But that's beside the point.
Random thought:
I Like Bunnies.
Bunnies are soft and cuddly.
...
Okay,
You didn't need to hear that...

EMO works for me...apparently...
All I can say is...
VERY
FUCKING
EMO.
(Sorry for the 'extensive' use of profanity there...)
Although I did take this picture myself...
Wearing the hoodie that I designed...
Myself...
I do declare that I look like a pussy...
LOL...

Beats listening to Electrico's
"Hip City"
While driving down the PIE...
(That's Pan Island Expressway for you 'Xinggahpolien' noobs...
Believe me,I've seen PRs do better
At remembering these things
than the "Heartlanders" themselves...)
Oh well...
It's the 2nd Day of Orientation 2007 for TPJC 2nd intake...
AND BOY WAS IT A GREAT ONE!!!!
Cheers were awesome...
Couldn't speak for an hour or so without hurting my throat...

B is for BARBOSSA, B-A-R-B-O-S-S-A...
One word.
A-W-E-S-O-M-E
Yep...that's all it takes to describe what happened today...
Posted to a poly, no biggie...
But now I have to wait a WHOLE FRIGGIN' MONTH
For the bluddy orientation to start...
Oh well, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait...
Meanwhile, crashing the TPJC orientation for the 2nd intake
proved to be quite a decision...
Met new peeps, old peeps...
Peeps who weren't supposed to be there...
*ahem ahem*
Man, I can't believe how COOL the MI people realy are..
Enthusaism is but their middle name, I'm sure...
Cheers were AWESOME...
The MI peeps really lead us into the whole BARBOSSA spirit...
FRICKIN' COOL .
Other than that, it was really an UNEVENTFUL day...
Talks,talks...
More talks...
Enough talks to talk your socks off...
But tomorrow...
is another story...

Electrico Electrified my week....!
I wouldn't mind wearin' this
WITH THE SHIRT TUCKED IN!!!
Tucked OUT, of course.
