Okay, before i begin. WOOHOOOOO! I’m done! I’m done with my education! (for the time being) DONE DONE DONE!! I received an email abt 2 days ago informing that 3 copies of my thesis have been approved by the dept and headed for the registrar’s office. sigh of relief

And that my frens and readers, marks the end of a 19 year educational journey. punctuated by many great friends/experiences and dismal achievements/results. I can’t believe it lasted that long. phew! another sigh of relief

but i guess i shouldn’t so relieved about not studying anymore. with about 98% of my working friends telling me that i’m about to enter hell without knowing it, i guess i shouldn’t be celebrating just yet. but what the fuck. i dun give a shit. hahha.. I’m just glad that i’ve completed one phase of my life.

so what am i doing now? well, i’ve got a job whoop-dee-doo (groans) which i’m starting end-august. so between then and now, i’m just going to go fuckin mad holidaying. WOOOHOOO!! right now, i’m in Surabaya, Indonesia visiting my dad, will be here for about 10 days. between waking up at 4.30am and playing disastrous golf, i can’t really say i’m doin anything else much. haha. just been buying dvds, getting stuck in traffic, eating, buying more dvds, eating, getting stuck in traffic… u get wat i mean.

after i get back, i’ll be goin off to Bangkok for a 5 day trip. ahh. shopping, eating and relaxing by the pool. i can’t wait. my baht is ready to go. haha.

After that, i’ll be headed for the states. we’re goin to vegas baby! woohoo! not for casinos, not for naked strippers, not for outlandish shows, but for star trek. for STAR TREK! woohooo! probably goin to get me a starfleet uniform and beam out of this frickin hell hole we call earth. haha. i wanna go disneyland. heh. 50th anniversary this year! maybe i can get a photo with the little mermaid, she’s so hot. who can resist a girl who sits in a clam. yum.

and then, i have to face reality and begin urgh.... work. haha. with all the money i’m going to spend, i’m going to need to work. oh well, i guess it will be a new experience! yay! /faints

well, readers in blogland, i shall now return to watching smallville episode 3. back to my lana lang. oh lana, why do you torture me sooooo….

everyday the routine is similar. type type type. but at least now i’m beginning to see the shit at the end of a long struggle to push my bowels (analogy). that analogy rings true with the writing of my thesis. long struggle? check. pushing? check. seeing shit at the end? check. now i’m at the stage where i still haf a little drop of shit stuck at my ass, i can’t push it, but its too gross to touch it with my fingers. yes. that stage.

on a less shitty note. i’ve been thinkin and planning for my leetle holiday at the end of my almost 20 years of schooling. phew. i’m tired just from thinkin abt those 20 years. phew. finally decided to go to vegas wit my buddy for our bachelor trip! wooooo… not goin there for babes or gambling, but for the klingons, vulcans and the enterprise! woooot! for the uninformed (tsk tsk), that’s star trek fer ya, and i’m goin to catch The Star Trek Experience which is an attraction at the vegas hilton. not really as big as most of the other stuff there, but hell, i dun care. probably get to go shopping in places which carry decent sizes too, not like the imp-like sizes that fukin stinkapore shops carry. PTUI!

i realise that my blog entry is quite random. ah fuggit. so many other thoughts, but too lazy to type. urgh.

just a little tot i stole off pinksoapdinosaur’s blog about music piracy. why do we need online music stores? you know what we need? lemme tell u what we need. easy and simple. we just need cheaper music. period. lookit soundbuzz, they are selling me chinese tracks for $1.99. i can buy the bloody original CD for $4-7 at this shop in marine parade. original.

hell, at that price, i can buy cds like i buy mcD’s value meals. of coz the guy is selling parallels from china, which big CD shops are doing. but hey its original. any fight? if they were to sell english CDs for $5-7 apiece. hell, i’m sure instances of piracy would drop drastically. I WILL BET MY NUTS ON IT! why would i wana download stupid songs on p2p unsure of quality etc and waste time when i can buy original albums for $4-7?

my theory, the lower the price of original CDs, the lower the rate of piracy.

makes sense, does it not?

this is the kinda calls i have been getting of late,

idiot: Hi, i’m calling from (random insurance company). you have been been selected for our management trainee program. It seems that your profile has met our needs. Would you be free to come down for an interview

me: WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU GET MY PROFILE FROM? YOUR FUCKING IMAGINATIVE ARSEHOLE? CUZ I DID NOT GIVE ANYBODY MY PROFILE! NOT LEAST U DAMNED PESKY PUSHY DIRECT-SELLING INSURANCE FUCKS! FUCK OFF!!

/end dream sequence

okay, that wasn’t me. that was my alter ego, my reply was,

me: oh! erm, where did you get my profile from?

idiot: err.. some survey you filled in.

me: what survey?

idiot: erm.

me: ...anyway, thanks for calling, but i’m not interested at all. bye. click

=====

another type of call is this one,

idiot: hi. our company is organising a job application seminar. it will teach u relevant job application skills. blah blah blah. would u like to come?

me: FUCK OFF! I AM HIGHLY CAPABLE OF GETTIN MY OWN JOB THANK YOU! WHO DA FUCK GAVE U MY NUMBER! DON’T U KNOW ITS A VIOLATION OF MY PRIVACY? YOU CAN SHOVE UR SEMINAR UP YOUR BOSS’S ASS!

/end dream

me: erm, i’m not interested. thanks. bye.

my personal motto in life is “if it’s too good to be true, it probably is” so fuck off with ur damn freebie seminars and freebie job offers. shove it up your own ass.

sigh, sometimes i don’t know why i bother entertaining these calls. i guess i just bother too much. these dumfuks are wasting my time, wasting my cellphone minutes (lucky i haf free incoming) and generally bothering the hell outta me. as much as i fully believe that selling insurance is the fastest way to get rich quick, and that i would definitely give it a try if a normal job doesn’t work out, i still don’t like being hassled by these insurance folk. i have a very capable agent who covers my entire family. i think i have enuf policies. so the next time one of them makes a cold or unsolicited call offering me a “job” or a policy, i will fuk them one time good. and i do mean fuk them one time very good. hopefully i make them cry or curse. boy is this gettin me into a foul mood. i’m usually such a pleasant and boring person. really

wat a busy weekend. everything began on friday when we made some last minute finalisations for my buddy melvin’s wedding. and from there, it was basically no-sleep till 36 hrs later. in all, i was awake for more than 48 hours. wooot!

the wedding was a blast and all of us had tons of fun. basically the day was spent rushing from one spot to another to ensure that the bride and groom had a great day. and boy did they have a good time! congrats mel!

at 2am, i was so hungry. needed a quarter pounder with cheese, yum. but alas, no burger for fat me. sunday was spent slacking and resting. up till today, i’m still feelin sleepy. hahaha. will post photos once they’re ready.

yesterday was also spent just lazing around and basically catching up on sleeeeeep. went to the coq and bull for steak last night to celebrate adrian’s belated birthday. the meat was good, but it wasn’t done very well for me. my medium well tasted like a medium-chao tar. haha. went for gelato after that. shite man. i’ve been eating so much. time to lose some weight. urgh.

and what is bloody wrong with the weather again? fukin hell. its too bloody hot. this can’t be right. someone move the sun away. puh-leeeeeeeeeze!!

oke, now back to doin some work. 7 days to submission and no completed thesis in sight.

i am so fuked. muahahhahaha.

/mad

after all this anticipation, star wars episode 3 was a real let down. in fact, ep1-3 was quite a let down in terms of story, plot development. i think lucas is repressed. after all the inability to express his creativity in environment building in ep4-6, he let loose in ep1-3.

but…

it was too much. too overdone. too much action. too little substance. lines were abrupt and choppy. each speaking moment was just there to introduce more action.. and yet more action… anakin turned to the dark side too easily, too abruptly, there was no build up. yoda gave up too easily.. “failed.. i have. to exile… i must go..” wtf. so simple? so easy? c’mon george! u cudda done better than that!

in all, it has been a bad movie month with 2 of my most anticipated shows turning out to be duds. argh. now i can wait for the others and hope they be better. war of the worlds and hitchhiker here i come. pls don’t disappoint me again. i can’t watch 4 duds in a row!

my goodness, what is up with the weather? one day its bloody end-of-the-world hot and another its noah’s ark scale thunderstorms. not that i’m complaining about the latter, but a little consistency wud be nice. yes, i’m a stickler for consistency. and go to hell whoever said that the change is the only consistent thing. watever…

in the past 14 days, i have spent almost $1700. wow. okay la, one of them was the stupit handphone which i love to death. haha. then my poor dog (lana) fell sick. poor gerl couldn’t eat, so brought her to the vet, who shoved a thermometer up her ass. gross. fukin gross. she had a fever, so she’s on tons of meds. can u believe my dog’s glucosamine tabs cost more than mine? nice… then the next day she started limping around the house. my heart almost broke with the sight of her limping towards me, wanting some lovin from me.. sob sob so i brought her to another vet to take an xray of her legs and hips. sigh. my poor dog. anywayz, now she’s much better, but my wallet isn’t. haha. total cost? $158 + $97. broke.

a really good buddy of mine is gettin married next weekend, so the week has been busy planning for his stuff. and yes i put on weight, so yes, i need a new suit. afterall i’m only the bloody emcee, not very nice to have a guy standing on stage with his stomach pushing against his suit. not an appealing sight, trust me. so off to the tailor i went, made me my first ever tailored suit, and i made a new shirt too. $385 + $60. broke.

i’m hopin that i won’t get anymore surprises this month, cuz my bank account cant handle it. sigh. and i wanted to get a light saber too. my best fren and i are going to catch EPISODE 3 next week!! wooohoooooo… we were going to bring light sabers and turn it on when the title screen came rolling.. my lines are “RISE LORD VADER! RISE!!” guess that’s so not going to happen. to make up for not having a light saber, i bought me a new pair of boxers, which has the words SITH HAPPENS emblazoned on my ass. so cool. $12. broke.

as anyone can see, it has been an eventful week. and that means that my thesis is screwed. speaking of which. i better get back to it right now. saturday night doin work. sad. broke. bleh.

sigh.. life has no meaning. between work and more work, there was kingdom of heaven. and it was a bummer. orlando bloom cannot do it man, he has no charisma, nor the class to deliver such a role. and the lines which were okay for the most part, fell totally flat at the crucial moments. the show was too politically correct, which i felt took away a lot of oomph from a show like this. but i guess if it wasn’t PC, someone woulda bombed my precious Orchard Cineleisure. oh well.

but anyhoos, the movie only provided one with a very short glimpse of the seven crusades which lasted almost 250 years. not enuf for a history lesson, but enuf for an action flick. i must say some of the images in the show were really loaded and quite potent. but that’s where the good stuff ends. i’m usually quite forgiving with movies, but this one… sigh. but, i still enjoyed it nonetheless i always believe that all shows have something good about them, and in this show, it was Saladin. holy cripes, he was da bomb! skinny as a copper rod, cool as a cucumber in the desert. my idol. the christians were nowhere as cool as him, orlando bloom coulda passed off as his armpit and no one woulda said anything.

something which i had to blog about was the LCT. our new Low Class Terminal… oops.. Low COST terminal. haha. why the need for an abbreviation with the letters LC. hahahha…. Low Class, Lan Ciao, Low Chee…, need i go on? call it a budget terminal for goodness’ sake, or terminal 4, the Other terminal, anything but LCT. hahaha. oh well. who am i to say right? guess its just me, so don’t take it too personally whoever is reading this.

yet another scholar gets sued by a singaporean organisation. are these scholars fukin stupit or wat. wat freedom of views are they loookin for. fukin idiots. shuddup and go flush your head in the toilet. stop makin such stupid comments about our great local companies, govt and organisations! /*pats myself on the head*/ this just shows you shuldn’t give money to smart people, cuz they end up acting smart on you. stupit shites. all of them. /spit

so happy yesterday cuz i got me a new mobile phone and a free ipod shuffle. i not a fan of shuffle, but who am i to say no to freebies? ‘nuff said.

back to work work work…argh..

Weather Update: Fucking Hot. period.

I must have hit my head so hard on my bed’s sideboards last night to actually want to go for McD’s breakfast at ECP this morning. stupid? no.. insane is more like it. ECP could have passed off for normandy on d-day, with infant soldiers (infant-icide.. hahhah.. get it? bleh..) and nazi’s on wheels (arms flailing, body wobbling, jus ready to kamikaze ur ass). McD’s was a sight. sometimes i wish i would instinctively take pictures cuz it was madness. think chatuchak market with fools on rollerblades and wailing children. yes crazy i know.

and then i was seated next to the “thing”. what is with people who don’t shave their armpit (underarms) hair, wear a fucking tank top and then lift up their arms. knnbccb. my fuckin big breakfast was probably screaming its calories out. i can’t stand that shit man. i mean if you’re running or something then fine, i dun care, but when you’re in a fucking eating establishment, cover up your armpits with pampers or panty liner or something. don’t fucking expose it next to me. next time i see one of those, i will take a picture and then stab a fork into the armpit. sounds like an idea.

then as i was walking out, i walked past this new bar at ECP next to coffee bean. i saw AMs drinking beer. Drinking beer in the morning in the hot sun. hope they dehydrate to death. hahahha. nothing wrong about drinking beer in the morning in the hot sun. just felt bitchy that’s all. ECP itself was a collage of putrid smells and sound. haha. i am joking. it was actually quite interesting. i saw this group of 30 indians in a circle doing what i could only describe as praise and worship, complete with percussion and “hallelujahs”. interesting. then the malay and chinese families picknicking were “chilling” out to the music, while their children were busy killing each other with beachballs. i don’t understand the logic of sitting in the hot sun, next to the hot sand, on hot stools, eating un-hot food with hot sand in them. fascinating. don’t get me wrong, i love picnics, but not when it seems like the sun jus moved 50% closer to Singapore, my love for the outdoors goes on a sabbatical. and wat about ppl in their tents absorbing the glorius rays of the sun. all that comes to mind. foul smells. fuking smelly.urgh.

if u read the ST this morning, notice that PM Lee in one line went “But I and my colleagues…”, i learnt in primary school that it was always “my colleagues and I”. guess no one scripts his “impromptu” comments. i know, i’m a bitch. (don’t get me wrong, i love the PAP, but bad english must be followed by bad criticism).

okay time for a shower.

what a productive day! the recent spate of knnbccb hot weather has been overtaken today by nice, overcast skies.. and what better thing to do on a dark and gloomy day? sleep. i want to sleep somemore dang it. but the stack of unread transcriptions and my 1st june deadline is beckoning to me.. more like.. holding out a knife at my jewels, so.. choice i do not have.

in other news, our PM says our economy is going good, even though we’re going to see retrenchments, that’s all good. it’s always good. since he’s not getting retrenched. oh no, hope the black helicopters don’t start appearing outside my window.

i’ve been tinkering around with wordpress a tad bit too much. looking at all these uber cool sites have gotten me drooling. i’m goin to add me more bells and whistles to this site as soons as i finds them.

no WOW for me yesterday. my fingers are aching to double click the game icon, but… no. i can’t do it. i’ll start two new categories on the blog soon. one for WOWblog (for my adventures in the Eastern Kingdoms) and another for TechShite (for my continual fascinations with stupid gadgets and technology crap). sounds cool? hell, i’m jus talkin to myself here.. hahaha..
