LOVE YOUR ENEMIES. IT PISSES THEM OFF.

Mylo

Monday, February 1, 2010 | 2:49 AM

Is it weird to feel comforted and happy when I turn my head to the side and see Mylo sitting there, looking cute and smiling at me?

I'm so going to sleep with him on my tummy again. Or with him beside me if I sleep on my side, all curled up :D

給你

Sunday, January 31, 2010 | 4:25 PM

不要把我推开
当坚持像无赖
当钻石也变尘埃

我信你在
唯有寂寞慷慨
骨牌倒了下来
想安慰找不到对白
那空白

可是我相信爱
我信异想才有日会天开
可是爱我相信爱
就算一切都像独白

我不要藏起来
当坚持像无赖
当铁树不会花开

我信你在
唯有寂寞慷慨
恐惧侵蚀血脉
想安慰却找不到对白
那空白

忍耐种种不能忍耐
不怀疑该不该
因为我信所以你会存在

可是我相信爱
我信异想总有日会天开
可是爱我相信爱
就算没对你说

Give me tempo, steady go

Friday, January 22, 2010 | 1:47 AM

Had been a super eventful week for me personally. So I'm partially glad that it's almost over. But on the other hand, I hope it's not going to be over soon because I foresee that the next two weeks would be a super eventful work academically.

No, actually three. Because right after all my deadlines are over and done with, then comes UT3.

Fuck. So am I suppose to work on those stupid files while studying?

I think I'm screwed.

And I just realized. The hours I spent sleeping in the evening after school is like two times to four times as much as I sleep at night. I'm not sure if I should say that I sleep a lot in the evening or I don't really sleep at night.

Yep, I'm screwed base on this too.

But at least someone wished me 平安 today. Am happy.

And now I know why we are asked to wear leggings or pants to class whenever we have to go into a lab. No matter what labs it is.

I got 3 bruises on my right kneecap just in one day.

ARGHS!!!

Anyways, had been in a roller coaster ride emotionally for the past week. More downs than ups. Let's just hope that next week will be better.

Ching One.
Woosh Ching

:D

Yeah, it's you

Thursday, January 21, 2010 | 2:08 AM

I don't know but I always feel like I would feel better if something goes wrong and even if it's not my fault, I would hope that someone would blame me for it.

Because feeling mad and indignant about it feels way better than feeling sad about it.

So, to anyone who always say,

"It's not you, it's me"

Fuck off and die in a special corner reserved for losers like you
:D

poor lenses

Wednesday, January 20, 2010 | 8:37 PM

LANing again.

Rui Qi was such a nice soul. He locked me outside of the safe room with me and my +1 health.

AND I FORGOT TO BUY LENS SOLUTION.

Oh, the bottle I was using had expired last year. I had been using a solution that was expired for more than half a year.

SHIT!!

aren't we ashamed?

| 3:44 AM

I initially didn't want to type this down and write it down somewhere instead but I can't find a proper book. I have them but I've used most of them. Maybe I should get a few little empty notebooks one of these days.

But yeah, I was writing the following paragraphs at the foot of my door this morning, while waiting for Daddy to finish showering.

It could be offensive and I apologize beforehand but if you're easily offended, then you shouldn't be reading my blog in the first place.

And yes, by the above statement, I mean that I'm not a racist and am thankful towards all the FTs working in Singapore.

Here goes:

I know this is news from gazillion years ago. I saw it on stomp and omy before people starting telling me about it.

I have friends who says that those FTs are the scum of the earth.
I have friends who says that the girl/tranny deserves it.
I have friends who says that the crowd are selfish and inconsiderate jerks.

None have heard it from my mouth but since I want to make my stand clear, I shall say it once and for all.

I don't feel anything for the three groups of people mentioned above but rather, I'm embarrassed by the people who yakked on and on by the about the three groups without doing anything.

Yeah. I'm mortified.

Not because a Singaporean/Thai lady were scantily draped in bikini, not because the crowd with that dark hairy arm I saw on the video (by that I'm only assuming and not implying that he's a FT because well, all of us have been to Orchard during New Year and we probably know who those hands belong to) or the FTs on the stage groping and dry-humping that chick/tranny.

To be honest, I'm sure all of us somehow or other, major or not have been through such a situation before.

Let's say in a accident-related-congestion, who are you going to blame for the congestion.

The car who was got knocked over?
The car who knocked the other car over?
The people who drove past slower just to catch a glimpse of the accident.

Many would be quick to point the finger at the people. Because if they don't slow down and try to catch the plate number and buy lottery with it, there wouldn't be a congestion.

But are the few cars that caused the accident faultless? Or should they be any less guilty in comparison to those cars that drove past a little slower?

I don't know but I don't think so.

Or in another case. If there is a fight in school, who are you going to blame.

The one who got hit.
The one who punched the other guy.
Or the people that crowd around not breaking up the fight.

Are the instances getting a lot more familiar now?

I would say all of them are equally at fault but if I were to be really wanted to be super nitpicky about this, I'm going to say, I think the one at fault is the person who caused this entire situation.

If it's the accident, it would be the one who didn't follow the rules.

If it's a fight, it would be the the one who provoked and started it.

If it's the beach party, it would be the one who provoked the guys into dry-humping him/her.

I mean, c'mon. Why would a girl dance alone there. At a party. Unless she has something in mind, eh?

And why in the world did those guys started dry-humping her all of a sudden. You don't walk down the streets in the city area and get groped right there and then right?

Why? Most probably because you didn't do something that provoked them into dry-humping you.

And to be completely honest, did she guess this groping thing would happen? Maybe not. Probably yes.

Unless she just came back from overseas, and by that, I didn't mean from Thailand. (Okay, there is this little thing about Thailand that I can't let it go ever since Elwin said that 'she' might be a 'he'.)

Look at our very own foam countdown party. How many girls have been molested in that one night. Countless. Is this scene common in Singapore? Not really on the other 364 days though.

But do we know that is going to happen. Most girls (and guys and that's why most of them would protect their girl-friends), party veteran or not would know about this.

Okay, i digress a lot.

My point is simple. I'm just saying that keyboard warriors should start living what they say.

The difference between I could and I would with I had are miles apart.

We could have done a lot of things. But did we? We didn't. So does it matter if we could do them? It doesn't. Why? Because we didn't do it.

Almost everyone would be quick to find excuses for themselves but does that matter? It doesn't change the fact that we didn't do it.

No employers would want to hear you saying that you can do this and that, would be able to accomplish that and this. They would only want to see if you had already done this and that and had accomplished that and this. Why would an employer only want to hear superficial statements that anyone can loudly proclaim when what they need are real in depth answers which can only be proven to them with works rather than words (unless if you're going to work as someone who focuses on speech, then the speech would be your works in that case)

Especially even truer in media, IT, business, finance... okay, all industries actually.

This is reality and to be honest, all of us by now should be able to 看破紅塵了… …
