Hell, i even almost forgot what was the address of my blog! keke!<br /><br />Alrite, i had been carrying things a little too far here. i do still remember my blog's address. it is scripted at the back of my head! But i had been too lazy to update because of a few reasons. One, i am undergoing my remedial training at the moment. No, there are no tutors coming to my crib, piling me with assignments to work on while his or her poor soul wanders back home. As you can see, loading that few kgs had made me a slower and heftier person, thus it is no surprise that i had been requested to 'participate' in a 1-2 months 'Fitness Course' wholy subsidized by the gov.<br /><br />Two, i am addicted to the tv and my favourite PP player for the best online streaming movies! after a hard day at work, nothing beats the luxury of sipping a cup of hot tea and enjoying a movie for the night! as the saying goes, ' a movie a day, keeps the doctor away'. Ok, that is how i see it anyway...<br /><br />Ok, lets cut the crap now. today's focus is on my dear dear! Yes! it was her birthday on the 5th of Sept and we made plans to visit Resorts World Sentosa. Over here, i would like to wish my darling the best in whatever she does and may lady luck smile on her always! lets take some time out rite now to appreciate the pictures we took on her birthday!<br /> <br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsQayDuZGWWzHjQyYMagB3RNndbQtRP27hkqfJD9rMU7HnOJ1XHjiS2TZZOvIpJLDQIKdAVtxZw5_n3bDl9kmB70jk5aG4kmnZlEbGfNm7UUGm2HLLQNZX5Y2ywqUXveezR-orC-UjaPZ5/s1600/IMG_0719.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513458771314483506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsQayDuZGWWzHjQyYMagB3RNndbQtRP27hkqfJD9rMU7HnOJ1XHjiS2TZZOvIpJLDQIKdAVtxZw5_n3bDl9kmB70jk5aG4kmnZlEbGfNm7UUGm2HLLQNZX5Y2ywqUXveezR-orC-UjaPZ5/s320/IMG_0719.JPG" border="0" /></a> Erny had been a kind soul to accompany us on that day.

Couldnt waste anymore time as there will definitely be a very heavy traffic jam on the expressway en-route to Tampines. i waved the security guard goodbye as i drove passed the guardhouse of my apartment. gotta be quicker, i thought, or else i'm gonna get another harsh objurgation. even though i stayed in Marine Parade and the distance to Tampines is pretty short, i knew i couldnt take any chances. i quicken my pace to 100km/hr. suddenly, a quick flash shone though! damn! i had been caught by the speed camera. there are about 1000+ speed cameras in Sillypore to date. the speed limit just outside my apartment is 60km/hr. there goes my $6000(plus 50% GST) and 12 demerit points...<br /><br />As i expected, i'm reluctantly caught in the jam at ECP. what a way to spend my time on a weekend. i really wondered why the jam is so bad even though the Transport authorities had placed 10 ERP gantries here, each costing $20 to bypass on a weekend and $60 on a weekday. Sillyporeans are really getting richer i must say. it was reported in the papers a few days ago that 50% of the entire 15 million population in Sillypore are millionaires! but sad to say, 47% of that 50% are Sillyporean PRs that hails from countries like Indonesia, China, Philipines, India, Vietnam etc. our public housings are switching hands by the millions, thus making young couples taking up 150 years loan to pay for them and a bowl of my favourite mee pok dry at the nearby hawker centre can cost me $16.90, considerably lesser than having it at the foodcourt which could cost me at least $25. even my favourite Johnnie Walkers now cost me $500 per bottle (250ml). cost of living is so expensive now that the lesser of the citizens had been seeking alternatives in Malaysia or Pulau Ubin. our population is also greying at the fastest rate known in the history of this country despite campaigns raised that encourages people to give births, baby bonuses of $10000 in excess and the abolition of abortion. these drastic measures taken by the authorities just doesnt seem to work with us, who strictly follows the doctrine of otherwise.<br /><br />my car inches forward slowly but surely. this is certainly very stressing on my old and whobbly legs. i switched on the auto pilot mode as i always used this function whenever i 'm caught in a jam. this journey to Tampines is gonna cost me great via the ERP and the GPS system implemented a few years ago. the GPS system tracks the position of our cars, calculates the distance we travelled and charges us for them. the authorities will then send the bill to our home at the end of every month. what an impressive piece of technology!<br /><br />the jam today is worse than what i experienced yesterday. it is hard to avoid traffic jams in land scarced Sillypore nowadays. must be a car accident ahead that is causing it. i pity the drivers who might be involved in them. insurance premiums are sky-high these days and accidents are just gonna made them worse. i'm glad i still sitting on a fat deposit in my bank account. if not, i think i'm might need to move my whole family to Batam.<br /><br />my phone rang again. i activated my bluetooth handsfree device and the 8 inch screen on the cockpit blinked. it is my wife.<br /><br />'hey dear, dun parked your car at the shopping centre later ok? they charged $30 per entry after 5pm. just picked me up at taxi stand huh. and you got to give my sister a lift back home later too. the MRTs are sandwiched with people and there are no seats for the elderly too. dun want her to stand throughout the whole journey.' well, MRTs these days doesnt have any seat at all as they believe that they can squeezed more people in. countless people had been ranting on the papers about crowded trains everyday but the CEO of these trains insists that there are enough room for everybody.<br /><br />'okok. got it. i will be there soon. caught in a jam as usual. see you soon!' i said.<br /><br />i switched off the monitor and sit back. lets hope this jam will ease quickly. i am very hungry and my craving for mee pok dry just sinks in. hopefully the auntie can give me more fishballs this time.The Heretic Malcontenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03835098156115948683noreply@blogger.com83tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033001317893677532.post-78609257411597889442010-06-27T23:55:00.009+08:002010-06-28T01:44:35.689+08:00Birthday Celebration at BBOX Toa Payoh Safra on the 18th JuneI know this entry should have come earlier but i had been perfecting the art of cunctation. it had been a wondrful birthday week for me. Batam trip with my dearie, dinner and drinks with my ex-colleagues etc etc.<br /><br />but the above event definitely wouldn't pale in comparison to the above mentioned. what can i say? a wonderful bunch of colleagues, coupled with a few drinks, a taste tantalising mango fudge cake and enough joy and laughter to send any crowd wild. I had a wonderful time at BBOX on the 18th June. Organised and engineered by my very own WMZJ (wo men zhi jian)! a great event worth remembering! hell, it is memory etching to say the least. but of course, things could be a little better. a touch of whisky to our drinks, better sound system, more free snacks and colder air-conditioning. i totally enjoyed myself that day and i have these people to thank for!<br /><br />William - bro, thanks for making your way down despite being ill! your presence means a lot to me coz you are of paramount importance to me and the team. thanks! btw, ifyour back still hurts, i can recommend a very good sinseh to you!<br /><br />Elfie - what can i say?! your choreography of this event speaks volume of your competency! xie xie ni WMZJ!<br /><br />Ian & Melvyn - i believe you guys should stay off the iphones a bit. the public is already declaring all iphone users unsociable. haha! thank you! lets have more BEER the next time!<br /><br />Stella - you should sing more la gal. you have a nice voice!<br /><br />Charles - bro, never give face! leave so early! i know you have many other parties to go to but buay steady lei you!<br /><br />Vera - rara, when are we having a song together??!! we can do Lady Gaga's Bad Romance! 'ra ra, ra ah ah ah!'<br /><br />Serene - lets have the song 男人女人 again! i will be the 女人, you be the 男人. haha!<br /><br />Jeslyn - you very jialat! everytime say want to sing 'Nobody' but in the end, you will end up mute. next time you better stand up, sing and shake your booty!<br /><br />Kevin - it would be great if you can stay all the way. the little gal you brought (sorry forgot her name) was super mischievious! haha! but fun-loving nonetheless.<br /><br />before i end these entry, let's have a look at some of the photos we took that day with my godforbidden icky digital camera.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixNPYvqjnZX6Q1gY2PmgTqaEhoOgsnv-pxRmLIAununFvhcPoXXorUby0jVryKKKI-hiI8VPV6c-negBtm74eliQARP-LMKDRT_lVUD1gSTyxYHu9OxvFupfaFPiR_sZ7z6ZZPtsWun_RF/s1600/SANY0690.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487490155359706386" style="DISPLAY: block;

Hmmm... i can only recall 2. but before i finished my lunch, i remembered a third and her name is Ann Ang. </div><br /><div>i promised Ann previously that i would indite a blog entry for her but procrastination took a hard hit on me. it left me with a mild concussion but luckily my skull is as thick as my a**. i managed to convalesce from the shock today and i can finally get my act together. </div><br /><div>like what i wrote in the previous entry for my pet kong, Ann wasn't the first person to accept me ino their social circle. she hits me as cold, nonchalant and she spoke wih blithe concern, truly indifferent to my existance in the office as the new kid in town. ok, maybe i have overdraw and overstate but that's how she made me feel. </div><br /><div>as we had more and more conversations during and after work, we found that we do have a few things that we do share in common. our lunch breaks transist to our ktv sessions with the rest of the gang together and we had dinners to share insights and views together, just like the last 2 consecutive dinners we had at Subway. Ann had been an interesting friend as i know her more along the way. </div><br /><div>i'm sure she will remember the night we wandered along the streets of Orchard road looking for a bistro or cafe to house us for a chit chat. the reminiscence of her waiting with me for my bus in the wee hours to pick me up first before she goes home also moved me. i bet HMM and Pet Kong wouldnt do this. she will also call me the moment she touched down in Singapore, even before HMM (tats what HMM told me. haha!). </div><br /><div>Ann had also been funishing support of my ideas. she wouldn't question the places i would suggest for dinner and she would free up time for them as well. not to mention the ideas for my birthday celebration. there seems to be quite a lot of things we do agree in tandem on. not like my pet kong who always like to be on loggerheads with me and ever since she has a bf, she seems like she had vanished into thin air. haiz... i think i have to check with the zookeeper on that. </div><br /><div>i don't have a lot of friends of the opposite sex, most of them being colleagues but Ann was an anomaly. she manages to give me advices of utilitarian to reflect and regroup on issues that needs to be looked into. that is the reason why i must say that i am a lot more comfortable to share most of my feelings and problems with her. it is a pity that she is not my colleague anymore as she had moved on to a bigger role, with more responsibilites and definitely better prospects. but i must say that i am glad that i had found a new soulmate. a friend whom i know i can turn to for help in future and who will always be there to provide me a listening ear. </div><div></div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482300287746012498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 239px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7DMcLZwENt0WBrHA51FhcBDvvtBo4geW1Hf8Cmqi_7_MMslBdGB0p77w-dOWAW0LMNSkGI0nGFQcgDydUnGk5AoH_PTLs8iu59YAm-j9qEX6kAqYwl12p9DMBQ9Cf2P9Ucf7bfNaRy0jA/s320/IMG_0218.JPG" border="0" />i am vey sure she agrees with all the things i had said here coz she is my BFF.</div>The Heretic Malcontenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03835098156115948683noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033001317893677532.post-24887961958926753392010-05-30T23:29:00.005+08:002010-05-31T01:18:03.653+08:00My Sassy Girlfriend - Toh Pei EnI bet a lot of my peeps out there had watched this Korean Show titled ' My Sassy Girlfriend '. if you didnt manage to watch this movie, let me just give you a short rundown of it's plot. it depicts of how a boyfriend always got bullied and frightened by his girlfriend in the most domineering manner. the way the boyfriend was bullied was kinda hyperbolized excesssively but i still enjoyed it nonetheless.<br /><br />today i would like to talked about my own sassy girlfriend. her name is Pei En and i addressed her as Erny in short. no, she is not the 'dearie' i had mentioned previously in my blog entries but rather the other girlfriend that i had. yes, i hve 2 girlfriends. sic. (laughing hysterically!) alrite my friends, i'm not trying to break the law here by practising bigamy in the near future nor am i the crook casanova fooling around with the hearts of 2 ladies. just read on and find out.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477090371317591138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB5p0JgQgRRpmpzWcQAVjpzS4O77yr50dE0pm92KHbJFm2Bkwl6veb4Hi8vo6BQ6PL104okI4dMXrLlClEW5crQ9lvV7uZaITU7BO-INzJ7kvRJnjaqYiLOVjM_0gpERNn82ynqTizP79D/s320/IMG_0481.JPG" border="0" /><br />Erny is the younger sister of my dearie and i had know her for as long as i have known my dearie. we shared a lot of common traits thus we kinda clicked pretty well with each other. we love vocalizing our favourite songs at KTVs, we love to read (though the stuff i prefer to read are pretty much junkie) and we love to watch movies!! that is the reason why she is usually the one to accompany me to watch the movies that i like.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477089741967959778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0ohvXl0bgY88x0nb7zKDcMhyJ4AkIXB8jmKKEIcpSF7xM3NmQl69SG3dzuiKWXMiahikPfGJaoSyIK0Lq4ds2m0GPeZosle4Bt8imjRz7omCyUcCfDTC_przfEyJmcxpnu7H25p3IvQJc/s320/IMG_0188.JPG" border="0" /><br />Erny, like any other adolescence teenager out there, idolises pin-up actors and singers. when she was younger, she loved her Jolin Tsai. she would sing her songs and buy her CDs and DVDs. things are almost the same now. the only difference is that now she may swoon over if she sees her Wang Lee Hom and Lin Feng in person. she may go absolutely bonkers if any of these 2 guys marry her i presume. she also loves her Harry Porters and she has the whole DVD collection to date. not to mention her favourite Twilight series and of course she read the books as well which kinda explains her intellectual capacity and why she can do well in her recent 'A' levels. when she takes her public transport, she also likes to blast her Taylor Swifts in her 'little green apple' with ample savage too. when she is free, you will see her surfing her youtube, facebook and msn-ing her friends.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477089728168331074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYWyrvJGk3C_dR9pZmubMI_vUyztoXM09V1LmCsnSlhi7K6zMtnVWUWfziaCGC0krgw4AFaayWiiwaxQBQ7OUbdbmIgujI6aDbVZMvUAP9qseQEufROqXsc-FAd4IoX9ZTs5oXQsrLGj5S/s320/IMG_0193.JPG" border="0" /> <div><div><div>My endearing Erny has a lot of natural endowments as well other than excelling in academic results as she has an innate musical talent waiting to be flourish and trived too! she can play a hosts of musical instruments namely the violin, organ and 'Gu Zhen' and she has a predilection for playing Beethoven at home often but i must admit sometimes it can get a bit irritating especially when she goes a bit 'off-tune' literally. but when it comes to her 'Gu Zhen' (which happens to be her forte), anyone will be in awe at the kind of music she can call forth in an instance!</div><div><br /></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477089716595531746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkl3sXjUpGspsX8j-0r4Jw1GhXHuxkUnl36BsKVDI0S6l4ZbZXl7vRwo8sYWExIWrFvt054uKX-J-xiIzeKbiOeWfRK9UMmZ7NMB9EPMw0xoDDTKo-9Il-tv973nP-Eef9XDlrIfV-H9XU/s320/IMG_0223.JPG" border="0" /></div><div><br />so why do i call Erny my sassy girlfriend? well, it is because i always got 'bullied' by her. haha! she is the only woman (other than my other dearie) whom i can never say no to. its not like she always make incongruous and obnoxious requests but rather it's me who always can't seem to find myself denying her postulations. YES, i have a soft spot for Erny since she was young . guess this is gonna stick with me for life. in retrospect, i can't help but still treat her as the small little girl i got to know for the very first time 8 years ago and it makes me feel so old at times. but of course, for as long as i live, this 'pseudo' girlfriend of mine will always have a place in my heart coz i will always give in to her and love her to bits.<br /><div><br /><p><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzTfAkQhD2IXMYpGSh31qP2ribnLYQyRck2hdzYUERyudktkobj6eHMnqdRIEZngeKjhmMpuoTDgO4FPtGszg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><p>My Erny playing a rendition of the Jay Chou Song</p></div></div></div></div>The Heretic Malcontenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03835098156115948683noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033001317893677532.post-42918780253831552932010-05-26T01:03:00.001+08:002010-05-26T01:05:27.134+08:00林峰 - 愛在記憶中找你 - Loved This Song The Moment I Heard It.<object height="300" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RmEEb8S5n9Y&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RmEEb8S5n9Y&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="300"></embed></object>The Heretic Malcontenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03835098156115948683noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033001317893677532.post-74117645515077555252010-05-22T00:21:00.018+08:002010-05-22T02:04:03.142+08:00My Bintan Trip on 15th May 2010<div align="left">its been a crappy and busy week at work.... been intending to do some updates to my blog but i will feel groggy whenever i finished bathing. can't even conjure up the vigor to watch my favourite tv shows.....<br /><br />but since it is the weekend... i couldnt find the excuse to say all this bull anymore.<br /><br />Last sat i embarked on an amusive experience... i went to Bintan. well, i know there will be fellow peers cracking out their guts crazily right now.

So what if i like Titanic?! this show is melancholic and sombre, the perfect concoction for some tear-duct breaking effects from ladies. so why the hell is a guy sworning over such a 'girly' show? ok, when this show was featured, i was only in secondary 2. during that time, Titanic was a MAJOR breakthrough! it encompassed a pair of lovely looking protagonists and a piquant ploy. everyone in my school back then were crazy over this show. all the girls wanted 'Jacks' for boyfriends and all the boys wanted to look like Leonardo.<br /><p>hmmm... so much for my favourite shows. lets take a look at the suckiest movies i had ever watched.<br /></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469323085314134194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 135px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXyPfqklZT-PFkGbq3NAkDROy-VVcjKyC3HYaSN8Ep70lA2NvOEJQCLaRLutR2q28n-CQmju5eYpsRipzVf8OEH-txJBqPwmAD5JfOQwL0uhjFFMTaUGlX0W3D5spsZBp22cglMUM-8-9E/s200/last_house_on_the_left.jpg" border="0" />i can't really remember wat the plot is all about in this movie. the only thing i remembered was the scene of a guy raping a woman and shooting her dead when she was trying to swim over a lake to escape. the rape scene was sick to the stomach and i took off after watching the show for half an hour. yes, i'm a sissy. i enjoy war movies featuring man tearing each other apart but couldn't abide to the image of a man tearing the bra and panties of a woman. btw, this is the only movie in my life which i didnt finish watching.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469323169777204690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 140px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCr9rjZSDtV_YIUkvRTB55WPQc_HYXSzzHhhc6ddz7yrLTB_-1i7Ac-qy6Bbpc6U2bLMTgZHqwTb-whL_Sr3zJAC6oi-7pJzlXijpSzWuswDI30_xBEFA2H9Up2FkoqcpPF3XAusSYlycr/s200/spy_kids_3d_game_over.jpg" border="0" />don't let the 3D thingy in this movie fool you. if you are thinking Avatar's 3D here, you will be in for a shock! this movie had no plot and the 3D glasses makes you woozy and vertiginous! even my dearie's kid sister detests this movie intensively!<br /></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469323253780949730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 161px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjojSIBHE8H-rW9E3XrJWYMQzWKk20EOcvRh1CEaOJWv5i342loRUZVpwluJyik9AbMhIJrwQRYcFr0BUHeO-rfCz9-oTgEUOyXga2xqtszQYQ74ayH1nd7Z-wVPanat4J6k52qHOlICAST/s200/resident-evil-extinction-movie-poster12resized.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div><br /><p>i am a BIG fan of the resident evil gaming series on the playstation. beautiful casts, shuddery looking, fleah eating zombies and exciting Boss fights towards the end of the show.

Looking forward to another year of wonderful movies to watch.

FYI, 'The Pacific' is a mini series about US marines doing a replica of the world war 2 situation along some derelict and god-forsaken islands near northern Australia, fighting off tonnes of Japanese adversaries who only knew how to throw their body towards the Americans' line of fire. i find it funny as the Americans in the show like to call the Japanese 'yellow skin rats'.<br /><br />the second 'blow' came during noon today when i managed to catch Ip Man 2 at AMK hub with my dearie. i believed i do not need to put forth the plot of the show to you coz you guys should check out the show yourselves. i must say i don't spend my money on mandarin productions on the big screen except for the Ip Man series. the movie was simply awesome and it filled me with subliminal emotions throughout the entire screenplay. In Ip Man 2, the last fight depicts a fight between a British boxer against Mr Ip Man. in the show, the Briton never failed to find time to sprout numerous villifications against the chinese people in the show.<br /><br />both issues set me thinking if caucasians really despise asians be it whether they are koreans, japanese or chinese? i had my 'brushes' with caucasians in Singapore and other parts of the world as well. i remembered my first 'ugly' incidence involved a bald white man with his chinese girlfriend. his chinese girlfriend impeached my friend of staring at her. my buddy sweared that he never did nor will he ever do it because the gal looked just like an apparition of a nightmare he had when he was a kid. the highlight of the confrontation happened when the white man threatened to sue my friend by flashing his gold plated credit card it front of him. (to tell my friend that he is rich and he can afford a lawyer to sue him)<br /><br />i recalled my trip to Australia as well when i was around 17 years old. i was waiting to cross the road somewhere in Melbourne with a friend of mine. we were speaking in english when this white man walked up to me and asked, ' where are you from?' i replied that we hailed from the sunny island of Singapore and he smugged, ' i didnt know you guys could speak english' his reply left 2 adolescence teenager befuddled but we find his statement mirthful as well. it took me 2 seconds of response time to say this to him, ' yes sir, i can speak and write in english and i'm pretty darn sure that i can accomplish both better than you do.'<br /><br />it is saddening to know that there are actually caucasians out there who still feels that asians are ignorant, nescient and conspicuously and tastelessly indecent. so much to the fact that these group of people doesn't offer respect to their asian counter-parts during work or not. of course, i am not going to pigeonhole all caucasians as the majority of them i encountered and befriended weren't do this to me so to speak. at the very least, i must say that there are a lot of things we can learn and benefit from each other. it should not be the skin colour or tone that set the differences between us, rather it should be how we dignified each other as equal human beings. i don't endorse racism and i hope everyone out there do not acquire that school of thought too.<br /><br />alright, so much for my cognition and noesis, time for episode 7 of 'The Pacific' before i sleep tonight.The Heretic Malcontenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03835098156115948683noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033001317893677532.post-90553155689588676002010-04-29T19:36:00.001+08:002010-04-29T19:36:37.611+08:00I Love Singlish!<object height="300" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/p30khvWjXks&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/p30khvWjXks&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="300"></embed></object>The Heretic Malcontenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03835098156115948683noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033001317893677532.post-70302203615051852762010-04-28T14:59:00.003+08:002010-04-28T15:09:08.455+08:00Step Aside Mr Martin!

(an award for employee of the month for me pls??)<br /><br />well, things couldnt get any rougher than the earthquake that hit China this morning. maybe close. my right eyelid was twitching a little and i sensed an admonition. there can only be 2 scenarios. Scenario A - its gonna be a bad day for me ahead. Scenario B - i may picked up some money along the way??<br /><br />the next thing i knew was i received an email from a fellow colleague. lets name her Bee. Bee hasn't really been the most cooperative and accomodating colleague i had ever worked with. in fact, she suck. notice that the word 'suck' doesnt come in past tense? coz she still sucks now. sic. she doesnt read my correspondence for help completely and gave me incomplete replies. such incomplete replies doesnt garner a positive response from my agent ( aka client ). so what do i do? i told my agent to speak to Bee directly. sometimes people like Bee needs a push ( or a BIG BOOT ) to their freaking butt to get them moving or else they would be so lay back in their comfortable seats, reluctant to move their arse to work.<br /><br />but what i got in return was an excoriation that questions my work ethnics, integrity and the hard work i put in. i don't blame my maltreater, rather i see Bee as the perpetrator who drove this campaign. see, if anybody needs to take a visit to Tartarus with Hades as the tour guide, i would propose Bee without a shadow of a doubt.<br /><br />the blame game took me a little by surprise but i didnt offer much of a retaliation because of 2 reasons. one, i was rushing for time to pick my gf from work. two, i somehow felt it wouldnt work because people at the top of the hierarchy wouldnt look down at you and say ' good job ' when its due. rather they prefer to defecate on your head.<br /><br />i am glad a few friends of mine supported me when i was down, especially my buddy Elfie (yes, she is a lady) , Vera and William. i really appreciate your concern. but just to let you guys know, much as i respect all of you, i would prefer to face and fight this battle myself. thank you very much!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg93zXt1HUvupNMV1yMPGZ6x1xlAd4suquuRYIjDCcLtZIjoCyfb-rzgek89VtTcYnqBDms3yF9Og7U9S5WNiYJXJ1IHAb89h-nMn_Ze8XUf_BF0_oUTFvQeNJu7QhFB0k-gpHS14L3L4Og/s1600/IMG_0185.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460039657084393906" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg93zXt1HUvupNMV1yMPGZ6x1xlAd4suquuRYIjDCcLtZIjoCyfb-rzgek89VtTcYnqBDms3yF9Og7U9S5WNiYJXJ1IHAb89h-nMn_Ze8XUf_BF0_oUTFvQeNJu7QhFB0k-gpHS14L3L4Og/s200/IMG_0185.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg93zXt1HUvupNMV1yMPGZ6x1xlAd4suquuRYIjDCcLtZIjoCyfb-rzgek89VtTcYnqBDms3yF9Og7U9S5WNiYJXJ1IHAb89h-nMn_Ze8XUf_BF0_oUTFvQeNJu7QhFB0k-gpHS14L3L4Og/s1600/IMG_0185.JPG"></a><br /><br /><br /><br />this is Elfie. sorry Vera and WIll, i will post your pics once i have them.<br /><br />btw, just in case you forgot, i had Scenario A today.....The Heretic Malcontenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03835098156115948683noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033001317893677532.post-37402985241289179162010-04-12T01:14:00.007+08:002010-04-12T01:26:55.005+08:00Amazing Video, Amazing Chicks<p><object height="300" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GQ95z6ywcBY&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GQ95z6ywcBY&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="300"></embed></object></p><p>What a video!!!</p>The Heretic Malcontenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03835098156115948683noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033001317893677532.post-66125102514647511652010-04-11T18:32:00.006+08:002010-04-11T19:27:41.713+08:00A message to a very good friend and colleague of mineRecently i lent my ears to a friend of mine gushing out her woes to me about the difficulties she is currently experiencing with this guy whom she just got together for less than a month i believe. the conversation started when i was on a half hour journey back home and it lasted for a good 90 minutes. i kind of lost track of time as i was too deep into pondering about how a solution can be excogitated to help her. her sniffings over the other side of the phone hinted that she had done a good deal of weeping as well. it made me feel kind of lost as i'm not the best person who can do the best job in consolation. all i can offer is silence and a tinge of advice from a man's (or boy's) perspective.<div><br /><div>i had been following my buddy's tale for the longest time. from the day she knew this man to the day they got together. i must say her experience wasn't rosy to began with. this guy doesn't behave like wat a man of pure refinement should behave. he doesnt send her home after a movie (even though its reaching 12 midnight) and he cracked the most incomprehensible and insensitive joke. Cmon! she is not asking a 21st century SNAG here. her boyfriend went for a vacation without her and she was left wondering in Singapore when he is gonna be coming back. he metamorphose into GOD mode when he was reveling in a foreign land but hibernation mode when back. and to top it all off, he hasn't been in touch with her for the past few days. MIA? beats me....</div><div><br /></div><div>with a touch of coincidence, i happened to be babbling away with another buddy of mine not too many days ago and she related to me how this ex-boyfriend of hers had avoided her and her calls. her refuge to his 'mysterious' disappearance? she gathered a few good buddies for a night reconnaissance and eventually found him at the void deck of his flat. confrontation turned into a night of absolute heartbreak and 2 months of heal time. reason for the dissolution? the guy didnt want to commit a future with her. </div><div><br /></div><div>but taking a look at my friend today, i strongly believe she made a right choice. now, she is with a man who knows how to take care and love her. she basks in joy at her newfound happiness and she is truly enjoying herself!</div><div><br /></div><div>hence, to this friend of mine who is undergoing loads of pitfalls in this relationship. you can definitely obviate this guy away from your life as there are plenty of other options available. do not waste yourself away coz it is really silly for you to do so. whatever it is, your buddy here will always stand by you!!</div></div>The Heretic Malcontenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03835098156115948683noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033001317893677532.post-30869594594316853632010-04-07T17:09:00.000+08:002010-04-07T17:18:59.413+08:00What is the meaning of 'Leave'?somebody out there please kindly remind me what does taking leave mean to you?<div><br /></div><div>to rest?

rejection hurts, he knew. but what about 'regret'? regret is a poison a thousand times more potent than rejection. he swallowed the pill of bravery and touch her hand. the sensation was electrifying. he caressed her pinky and there was a response. she turn her head and gave a heart-warming smile. they held their hand tighter. they knew they will be holding their hands together from then on. that familiar smile was the most beautiful gift she had given him on that fateful day. that fateful day was 6th April 2002. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>they had travelled through thick and thin together. there were tears and felicity that they could written into a book. but nonetheless, the boy knew all these hadnt come easy. he must safeguard the love both of them shared for the many many years to come. the memories they shared are gifts they gave to each other. they created somethng special between them out of nothingness. the boy was just glad that he didnt fall prey to Monsieur Regret. today marks the day the boy and girl spent 8 years of their lives together. he wishes to dedicate this piece of work to his one and only love he will ever have. he knew that there will be many more 8 years for them but he is prepared. coz he knew their love can carry them through. definitely!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>That boy is Kenny and the girl is Peishan.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>The Heretic Malcontenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03835098156115948683noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033001317893677532.post-61068801568483658872010-04-04T17:46:00.000+08:002010-04-04T17:56:34.334+08:00Welcoming myself to my blogyes folks, blogs are like a thing of the past and yet i am only beginning to roll out my accounts now... <div><br /></div><div>you see, previously i had been writing in another site of mine which i created wholly from HTML and it ain't the easiest task to accomplish given the fact that i am no IT or programming geek. i had always wanted to write about anything and everything under the sky and i feel that blogging could possibly be the only alternative to people like me.
