LIFE: A bed of Roses?

A few days back my sister asked me a weird Question.

"Do You think Your Life so far has been 'a bed of roses'?"

i was dumbstrucked. not cus of the depth of the Question, but because it came from her.

still, that question led me into a deep serious thought. a bed of roses. like what's the definition of a bed of roses?? is it in terms of material wealth? or my own achievements? or does it mean education???

whatever that means...but if you ask me, i'd tell you maybe it's half a bed of roses for now. life is never ever perfect or complete no matter how rich you are or how much love you get. because there will always be times where you'll hate yourself or dread the choices you make. and please just remind yourself of the countless occassions you swore over the most puny things.

In fact, roses have thorns you know...and the thorns are like the little hiccups in your life. so you see, roses and thorns come together. and if that's the case then yes, my life's a bed of roses cus i've picked myself up along the way. anyways, what's a rose without thorns right? it's like gaining enlightenment from a mistake you make cus the enlightenment will come in the form of a rose and the mistake is like the thorn lah...

man, how DEEP can i be. aren't you impressed.

But honestly, If you can learn to appreciate the things and people around you and cherish the good things that come around, then you'll be planting your way to a huge garden of roses, not just a bed. -----<@

...then again, what's life without swearing and cursing. haha.

Dedication....

Was kinda wondering what i am doing wasting my holidays away without taking up a single read. with all the allowance coming in and all, maybe it will be much more appropriate if i use it for books.

so when i was browsing in MPH a few days back. i found a book.

by nature, i hate sci fi and self-improvement whatevers so naturally you won't catch me tormenting myself with either. so it's left with novels. and after 3 whole years of reading the good ol' kinda victorian novels and etc only leaves me weary of more. so my take: new age novels.

the book's titled "Dedication"

it's not a flashy title yet it says a lot. it's not the kinda sappy love novels but rather one that's more realistic and one which i can relate to. somehow i found it familiar...cus some parts of it really reflects what i feel sometimes. so what if i'm emo? everyone's got their emo sides okay. it's just like how you pour before a sappy korean drama.

Proudly, i gotta say i already read half. it's such an achievement you know. FYI, i took like 2 years to finish Jude the Obscure. lol. and in the end i think i didn't even finish reading it cus i dread it so much i'd rather read its plot summary from PinkMonkey. hahaha...

Anyways, i already got started with my Korean Classes. so FUN! and i can actually read and write basic korean already. not as tough as i thought but it's tough if you don't appreciate korean culture. most importantly, i LOVE IT! that's where learning takes place. if you don't like it, you won't learn it well. and cus i SO love DBSK and their music, i'm more conscientious than anyone. haha. the teacher actually asked each of us why we wana take up the language. Guess what i said? i went "CUS I LIKE DONGBANGSHINKI" and everyone just broke into laughter.

...what's wrong with being honest? from now on, i think honesty is the key. i'm gonna be super honest. what i like i will say, what i don't i will also say. wether people will roll their eyes or not i will STILL SAY. but of cus not the asshole kinda honesty lah...i'm not the clueless bimbotic kind who hurts people with words of cus...what i mean is i won't give a care lah ....i'm old enough to know what's right and wrong. even if that's just a passing phase or craze i won't regret it...anyways...what is so mindless or impulsive if you get to learn an extra language??

the Overdue Credits

Dearest "LuLus", (aiyer....)

i must i must i must let the whole world [if not, whoever reads my blog] know what you all did for me.

*sniffs*

i may be slightly late [tt's cus i'm working]. but still, i gotta say these are all my favs outta the stack of Forever 21 Vouchers. haha.

everytime i see them [as in the following], they just remind me of what went through your minds while you were making them...needless to say...it's ME! ME ME ME!!! LOL. i'm like such an inspiration to you girls, i know....hehehehe...

not that i wana say...muahahaha..but i must have been a damn good friend of yours' to deserve all these....wahahahaaa.....i know you girls love my BHB-ness.

so, to each one of you....i have LOTS to say!

Do you have a friend who stays up and sew till 8am for you??? I HAVE! Glynis lee will do such gu -niang stuff like sewing just cus it's for me. it's damn sweet! i wonder if the cotton inside my name was dug from her pillow though. lol. the red balloons...ahhh....just so reminds me of DBSK! thanks for the effort! 5 kisses for this! muack muack muack muack muack!

BUT hor...

you see....best friends have similar traits. "thanks to me for this pretty board" why didn't i think of writing stuff like that on your's the other time??? SHOOT. anyways, at least i wrote something like "bloom like a flower" don't ask me what i was thinking. and i have absolutely no idea that was her sec school moto either.

Now THIS is what i call a Master Piece!

Do you have any idea what this piece of "art" means. for the distasteful part it meant 2 yrs worth of birthday presents joint together. but for a more sentimental interpretation, this encompassed 6 years of CHERISHED friendship between me and JIAYI LIM! 6 years didn't pull us further apart, jiayi. it only glued us tighter together, and it's not just gluing on a board like this.

...then again, true friends don't really do you the favour of saving your embarrassment. if you still don't get the point, try adjusting your sight to the middle lower portion of the board. need i say more? it's already quite embarrassing to post this up. haha. but to credit my lovely jiayi...i SACRIFICE![Jiayi, this is way way better than $300 worth of Forever 21 vouchers. this is a reassurance. love ya!]

..even muffy can't get his paws off the lovely board you made!

haha. neh, actually he's just fascinated by the curtains...LOL!

JM IN THE HOUSE!!! haha...Cher Lau's humour isn't just skin-deep can. in fact, she's the funniest in the most unintented ways. look at the scroll on the upper right hand corner...how creative! haha...and the yellow flower on my head. BIGGER THAN MY HEAD CAN! haha. who's the ang-mo btw??

eh JM, Orlando Bloom AVERAGE only leh....i like Mickey....oh nono, i LOVE MICKEY YOOCHUNIE!!! should put his face. and oh man oh man! i love my sexy LONG legs!!!! wahahahaa....and guess what??? under tt long pair of legs depicts my tai-tai life!!! how sweet of you! hee..the brown window...don't ask me what's inside... lol. THAnks for the windows though...haha.

see...this is what i mean by Cher lau's humour. this made me laugh like forever lah! at first i thought who the kid was....LOL. so it's HUICHENG! my mom always say why give your son such a name....like "dust/dirt" in chinese. muahahaha....made me laugh even harder.

jm, i'd rather kiss you than kiss a speck of dust can....heehehehee...

YY ONG! your's is the most ARty Farty one lah!

i love the YMCA!!! howcome we never think of this before?? we ended up giving ourselves weird and 'XIA' names cus we couldn't think of what name to choose. we're like computer mouses man! cus we click non-stop! ....................... ..... ... .. ... ..urh......think you need a jacket....

Oh and The forever 21 voucher envelope...i keep in in my bag wherever i go man! forgot to take a picture of it but i really love it alot! next time i show off to the rest. lol...

so sweet right? cus it's my birthday so they ugly-fy themselves with weird hairdos yet i get a tiara.... love you two to the max!

this has got to be my personal fave.

cus it's priceless....

cus it's so plainly meaningful.

DBSK sings in Chinese!

Xiah Junsu, Mickey Yoochun, Hero Jaejoong, Max Changmin, U-know Yunho

Turn on your speakers please!!!

not many korean/Japanese can sing in chinese. In fact, even if they do, their lack of pronunciation accuracy kinda irks you.

BUT. with such heavenly voices [aaaahhh.....], who cares about pronunciation??

anyways, pronunciation wise: 80% [still, they sound nicer singing in chinese than our neighbours across the causeway] wahahahhaaaa.... seriously.

judge for yourself!

it's my birthday!!!

when's the best time to spoil yourself rotten and be as thick skinned as possible???? it can only be your once in a lifetime 21st birthday [yeah, like which birthday is not once in a lifetime...haha]

but bUT BUT!!!! this is my happiest. don't need to guess lah, why else will i be smiling from ear to ear....it HAS to be cus of the incessant showering of gifts lah! oh man........sorry, i simply cannot contain this happiness...you know, these don't just come by every birthday. some birthdays, you just sit in a corner and wonder what is the darn deal about this lame day. i know some people still probably feel the same on their 21st but whatever....haha....all it matters is me and my HAPPINESS. wahahahahaaaa....

actually, let's not talk about the material stuff.... my dad tries really hard, as in damn hard to fit into this "hip" world of youths. you know he actually sent me an sms birthday greeting from his room [i'm just next door by the way] saying really sweet stuff... actually it's him and my mum together... i'm really blessed man.... almost teared. haha. honestly, i couldn't ask for more. even if i saty single my whole life i wouldn't feel that sorry for myself. hee...

and then there're my friends. true true friends. i know it's kinda hypocritical if i say i'd only realize true friends on my birthday cus of the gifts i get. but that's not true. true friends really go all out. true friends does really sweet stuff for you. they're damn excited to get you stuff and plan stuff for you on your birthday. and some just can't wait to shower you with things material and not. and for one i know, this friendship don't just simmer-dry once the clock strucks 12. it's gonna carry forward to my 31st, 41st, 51st..............

you know who you are.

to my other cherished friends who sent well-wishes too....THANK YOU ALL BIG TIME! and i DO keep each and every one of your messages. hee!

hmmmm...but now i think of it, there're still a bloody long list of childish things on my list which i've yet to accomplish. 21st means a lot of things but it's not gonna stop me from executing some of them. growing up takes a lot of time k....it's not gonna happen overnight. cus today, i still feel like the 18 year old me. =) and it's not like wrinkles will just infest my face when i wake up the morning after...haha....yes, break outs are still my best friends [this should be a hormonal problem, though]. okay, if there's anything i'd like to change from now on, it HAS got to be the problematic break-outs! so that's about all. and what's so wrong with ticket vendors checking my IC??? it's a darn compliment, i tell you. wahahahaha...

oh....i just hope that my life can become more happening these few years before i graduate and be all tied down with work in this COLD, PRACTIAL, HARSH, COMPETITIVE, RUTHLESS society.

***secret wish***

...................

.......,....,......

...!....?.....,....

here's my Mickey Yoo Chun, for you!

...THIS, is just one of the childish things on my list.

Happy happy Birthday!!!

haha....it's Koon Yuan's 21st... he must be SO HAPPY lor....lol. that's excluding the fact that we didn't really get him anything. LOL. sorrrryyyy...i really didn't know what to get him. in fact, most of us don't. =P but STILL, he still appeared to be kinda elated to see us.

this must be a huge "BOMBING" year for some. i don't think there'll be room to escape for anyone since almost everyone is having their 21st birthday this year. unless you have super low EQ or don't even have it to begin with, it's still not a bad idea to start saving up for presents...hahahhaa....

hmmmm....i kinda like gatherings. cus i'll get to see some of my friends whom i don't usually get to see...for years....anyways, people change. a lot of times, for the better. and i'm really happy for them.

maybe one day...i'll be real inspired to blog about every single one of them. it's like when you meet up with your friends again, lotsa memories come flooding back. the good and the bad... the funny ones especially....

OOOPs... and it's my sis' birthday too...

guess what i'm getting her???? she wants HARRY POTTER story book.

man....i so shouldn't have asked her.

anything lah

yes, this entry is about anything....not that stewpid drink though..[you know, the one with the spastic posters and adverts]

seriously, WHATEVER lah, whatever....

i wana talk about smelly taxis, or rather, smelly taxi drivers. no joke okay, twice in a month, my mom and i fell victims to the kind of unbearable stench in two different taxis. man, we had to sniff on medicated oil the entire journey. it's really VERY BAD. for heaven's sake, don't they ever bathe? i really don't understand.

i wana talk about the damning weather. !@#$%^&*
there's nothing to talk about really....but if it can really hear me...
"CAN DON'T SO HOT NOT?!"

i wana talk about the Korean drama i watched recently. guess what?? it's HYUN BIN's. ha haha hahaha. you know, if someone's goodlooking, whatever shit he or she does doesn't change a thing. oh, anyway, it's called The Snow Queen. yeah, from the title...you can imagine how cooolllddd and queer it is. indeed lor, very sad and sappy.....and yes....another tear-jerking drama. the story line's quite...AVERAGE though. haha. if you're not a huge Hyun bin fan then you can give it a pass. but honestly, unless you're a guy or a lesbian, why else will you not like Hyun Bin?? and if you go "who the hell is Hyun Bin"....then i think you're blinded by too many mediocre singaporean guys in orchard rd. HAHAHAHAHAHAA....no lah, joking only. Singaporean guys rock.... occasionally. lol.

i wana talk about the new Gatsby Advert endorsed by Takuya Kimura.
i like Gatsby, i love him, i totally DIG the advert.
did you see his "i don't give a hoot" expression? ha! CLASSIC!
..and the song is permanently edged in my head. lol.

i wana talk about DongBangShinKi aka DBSK aka TVXQ aka ToHoShinKi.
their live performances are really..........please go watch them and you'll understand. and please hor, don't go asking me who they are, find out yourself. damn! i'm so gonna pick up Korean language. i don't care how much it costs!!! i'm sick of watching shows with no subs! !@$%
besides, ha, it's gonna be useful. trust me.

OKAY!!! the best part! my birthday's OFFICIAL THEME!!!!

"MAT AND THE GU-NIANG GIRLS...and some sidekicks"

GIRLS PLEASE WEAR DRESSES. [if not must wear skirt! if not try to look as GU NIANG as possible.] wahahahahaha. dresses don't mean Daniel Yen cum Graduation dinner kinda dresses k....chic is the key. CHIC...

GUYS.....well....whatever...hahahahahahahaha.

anyways, i say already you all also won't follow.

***those who follow the theme got prize***

you should be so glad i gave up on the disney theme.

Random

OKAY, Glynis is buying me the DBSK / FTTS stuff already...

please DO NOT buy me those!

Forever 21 vouchers are still welcomeD....

it will FOREVER be...hahahah ha haha ahahahaha...

oh man...btw, i'm such a forgetful person. it's too incorigible of me.

i must repent!

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY JANE!!!!!!

but i think the greatest present of all isn't the greetings from us. she has SAM. the Mr nice guy of the decade. haha. Now she can officially plan fo her marriage.....

urgh....we are so gonna age like bullet trains.

Upcoming Bdae celebration and what not

I'm real bad...as in a lousy employee. lol. my dad has to personally come wake me up in my room. he even asked me "you don't want to go work ah? okay, then i go myself ah.." hee... bad. but that's the priviledge of working under your dad.

hey, it even rhymes. nice.

sometimes i wonder, what good did i do to deserve all these? my mom and dad dote on me and my sis and try to provide for everything we need or even want. but when you think about it. ain't all parents the same? mostly.

and that brings me to the topic of MY UPCOMING BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION!!!! haha. cus whenever i think about it, i can't help but feel so blessed with a generous father who willingly splurges on me. you get the point, he's paying for the entire thing. and that's not including the Burberry Blue label tote he got me from Japan. love him...AND my mom.

SO, my birthday celebration... some stuff to address here...

First and foremost, please don't be deluded by the fact that my birthday's on the day of the gathering. cus it's NOT. it's on the 19th of JUNE.

the gathering is on 23rd June saturday.

Time: 7 onwards.

Venue: Cineleisure Orchard K-Union level 8.

and on the gifts and stuff....um.....i'm not exactly short of anything but just to keep things simple, i like Forever 21. so if you don't mind. gift vouchers from there will suffice. OR, you can try Fossil. i LOVE Fossil accessories and bags and whatever from there lah. haha...but it's not cheap...so i say say only lah....BUT if you're really out to impress me then THANKS! wahahaha...

and.....i'm really into Dong Bang Shin Ki [DBSK] and Fly To The Sky [FTTS] if you can get me a whole collection of their CDs even better. they're Korean bands by the way. k, please don't go rolling your eyes....i like can already. haha.

hmmmm...did i miss out anything? if i did please let me know.

k see ya there! you know who you are right???

I'm Back!

Hey hey HEY! MISS ME?!

heehee, i know you do!

ahahahhahahahaahahaha

Japan was really fun. long story lah...if i have to tell you all about it here it'll take 5 entries. haha. A brief summary of where i went though... first day, Universal Studios, Osaka Castle, ShinSAibashi then 2nd was Kyoto then 3rd day Nagoya and Hida 4th was somewhere near Mt Fuji then 5th DISNEY LAND and Tokyo city! and finally, Odaiba park!

in Between there are other more specific places but i couldnt remember the names cus i was too busy snapping, shopping, eating or sleeping away....haha.

Some interesting stuff about Japan:

1) i LOVE their toilet bowls.

2) they have clean toilets

3) Excellent service [though i couldn't make out what they're saying most of the time]

4) KOBE beef ROCKS [of cus i ate it that's why i know]

5) their nightlife is damn happenning. [and you thought clark quay was adequate]

6) Gigolos dress in smart suits [no picture, just in case they think i'm interested. lol]

7) everyone HAS to wear mickey-eared hairbands/hairpins in Disneyland

8) the kid in you comes to live in Disneyland

9) If you haven't seen the Disney Parade then you haven't been to Disney land.

10) most items sold in Disneyland are limited edition.

11) there're lots of black ppl in Roppongi

12) Burberry Blue Label is exclusively found in Japan.

13) there're all sorts of vending machines

14) you HAVE to try the hotsprings

15) you can only see Mt Fuji at 4 in the morning

16) Quit queueing for the those Raffles City donuts lah, save up and go eat those in Japan.

17) Japanese Children are the CUTESS!!!

18) they actually have Korean Variety shows in Japan. UNFAIR!

there're a lot more pics but it's quite a chore to attach all of them here. you should know, blogger don't exactly have the most friendly kinda pic-upload functions.


anyways....that's all for now. gotta catch some sleep!

No title

just realized there may be friends who actually read my blog besides the usual. i feel kinda weird but um....luckily i never badmouth him! LOL. HI JOVIAN! now you'll get to see the rest of the ice berg...though not completely. [that is if you ever read this] haha.

anyways... strangely, i don't feel that excited over the trip. don't know why either....but i hope this will change when i reach there.

jiayi MY FAVOURITE FRIEND dedicated an entry to me. THANKS favourite friend. i will remember you in japan. lol. we all know what that means. sometimes i really wonder if i've been such a great friend to some. but i'm really glad to be appreciated.

lotsa stuff are going on around me. sometimes when you really feel like taking a step back, you can't cus whether you like it or not, you're part of it. and the world doesn't stop for you just because you can't keep up.

i should be happier.

K one last thing. i hope i don't lose my way or get lost in Japan cus i'm known for having serious directional problems. wish me luck okay?

东方神起

MAN OH MAN!

i think you all must be thinking i'm real crazy or immature but idolizing never has an end for me. wahahahhaaaa.....

NOPE, FTTS IS NOT PASSE in my dictionary yet.

i'm slowly beginning to discover the wonders and magic of korean music... oh my GOD. like DBSK..... mind you, they're not just some mid 20s boyband. they're like the POWERHOUSE of korean boybands can. LOL. and their average age is just 20 and 4 of them are actually born in 1986!!!!

kk that's not all....there're better reasons for you to go gaga over them.

firstly, they can sing LITERALLY. as in ALL OF THEM can really croon their souls out that kind.

Secondly, they're young and full of burning potential.

Thirdly, they have the real moves. just go watch their Rising Sun mv. then you'll start to question why ENERGY even existed.

Fourthly, look at their pretty faces. you know, only KOREAN boybands will ever have all-cute members. haha.

Fifthly, [is there such a word as fifthly? lol. heck ah] the best part too- THEY ARE DARN FUNNY!!!!

wana know why? check out their own mini dramas in either crunchyroll or youtube. i laughed so hard i forgot the time. lol.

the dramas themselves are funny, not draggy and the way they act is super corny too!!! my gosh. even my sis is addicted to them.

not that i wana say, but i think my recommendations are mostly damn good. so they must be damn good too! haha!

Girl next few doors

a guy friend of mine just commented that i have the girl next few doors look. man.... i felt a sudden rush of chill down my spine in that one splitting moment.

no, he isn't into me. lol. cus i was telling him about the computing guy in our tutorial [the one i am still secretly admiring]. then he asked me when am i going for him but i was like "no, siao ah!"

don't blame me, it's like a reflex. things like that blurrt out unintentionally from me sometimes. but honestly, my other self is really prompting me to be proactive. then again at times when i don't feel that jaded, i don't feel a need to get involved.

yet the stupid stupid me still checks out his friendster account now and then to reassure his single status. Seriously, what am i doing?

Girl next few doors? that's not too bad for the record. at least i'm not like the girl downstairs or in the basement...or even the dustbin. lol.

and coincidently, jiayi and i were chatting about being a real SOCIAL BUTTERFLY cus Geminis are supposed to be like one. FYI i am the latter but i'm not so sure about the former. if you mean entertaining my own friends then yes. but i'm really not the sort who goes around tingkling wine glasses with strangers.

i can be siao and 3-8 with my close friends but it's a whole different story with people i'm not that close with. sure i can try entertaining them but i'd just feel damn sian at the end of the day. i like the feeling of comfort with people i'm familiar with...maybe that's precisely why my social circle hardly extends beyond friend's friends.

i cannot break the so-called chasm between making friends with my friend's friends and complete strangers or the people like. asking me to be proactive is like asking a frog to jump out of a metre deep well.

maybe one day, i'll be desperate enough to take that leapt.

for now, let me just stay in my comfortable next few doors. haha.

dead BEAT

i'm really not for late nights OR early mornings.

had to leave in the afternoon from Glyn's chalet cus i really couldn't take the tire anymore.

hope she had fun, we had fun too. i had fun. fun fun fun. fun but still need to rest. not being a spoilsport but sleep tops my list everytime, all the time.

haha... then you should know lah, followed by tv.

shall i elaborate on what i did during the chalet preparation? it's gonna be another episode of boring details. so let's just skip it.

wow. i wonder how my 21st birthday celebration will turn out. it's a real tiresome occasion, sad to say. but i like =)

....and the photo taking part......dreadful. i simply can't smile for too long. it's a bloody chore to smile, but i can pull off a string of laughter anytime. haha....

ANYWAYS. someone owes me money. a LOT of money. this pisses me off badly. so PAY UP!

Not gonna turn into a potato!

bloody hell. so much for longing dearly for a break.

suuuccckkksss.....

there's simply no kick in slacking with no strings attached.

woke up late, watched tv, ate, watched tv again, eat some more, watched yet another trashy tv show, brought muffy for a walk, bathed him, bathed myself, ate dinner and now i'm blogging.

man, what happened to my exciting holidays....???

think i'm still more into guilty pleasure. as in i'm more a person who gains satisfaction from doing the wrong things at the wrong time. like the afore mentioned boring sequence of activities could be totally pleasurable if they were done during exam period. agree??? i hope you fit right into one of my shoes for this. haha.

i don't wana spend the entire day channel-surfing or think of what trash to eat next. that is why, i'm gonna start work tomorrow!!!

working for my naggy-dad sure beats being a couch-potato!

Horror kid!

Never have i came across such a bloody brat in my life.
the most shameful part of it is that he is actually my relative. GROSS.

i detest ill-bred kids. it's a cold hard fact....especially if they're from my family.

you tell me, what hell of a kid [a 3 yr old boy], stares at his own relatives from the corner of his eyes like we owe our lives to him, steals his own cousin's toys, refuses to acknowledge adults, throws random tantrums, bangs his head repeatedly against the wall, throws hard objects at people [even his own grandma], cries his lungs out all the time, bites his father's inner thigh or the most despicable of all, beats his mother's pregnant stomach?

if i ever see him doing that with my own eyes, i'd grab him and shake the f**king sense outta him until don't recognise his parents anymore.

honestly, think his parents are the BIGGEST problem. On a superficial level, this is retribution. In a logical point of view, this is what i call PURE STUPIDITY.

if you can't freaking rear a child, please do society a favour and stop breeding more destructive beings. but think it's too much to ask from them cus they probably didn't anticipate themselves as inadequate parents. until today, my uncle still thinks he has a way with children. [Oh COME ON, give that thought up ALREADY!]

sad. sadness.

and what more now? a second son? cool. i can totally forsee what's gonna happen. the horror kid will murder his own sibling one day. or better, both will grow up to be violent kids. maybe they'd rob grannies hand-in-hand in broad daylight. how lovely...

If ever someone has to take the blame, my entire family will point straight to his mom. absolutely naive and clueless. spoils the kid like there's no tomorrow. and we finally found the best tactic to breed a rotten boy, GIVE HIM WHATEVER HECK HE WANTS TO SHUT HIM UP.

IF i EVER have to handle such a kid, i'd make sure he stops his crap with just one look. so he likes to bang his head against the wall? fine, i'll lock him in the room and let him bang until he bleeds. kids like tt know u can't bear to see them hurt, and they want your attention. they think you're gonna be so worried they might kill themselves. for once, leave him alone. he'll finally realize head-banging doesn't work. the next time he intend to repeat that crap again, he'd think twice. it's gonna be a damn painful process for both the parents and the kid. but NO CHOICE. slow-talk doesn't work cus kids have small brains.

i'd really like to believe that the poor boy's innocent and victimized. i mean, which kid is born a criminal right? must be the upbringing and environment. i'm sorry to say but they are so gonna ruin his future.

when one fine day, they realise their beloved boy steals from shops and whacks the f outta other kids for no concrete reason and finally thinks "he's getting out of hand, let's just throw him in boy's home and let him learn", it's going to be too late. by then, the poor boy will start blaming them for not giving him proper education. he hates you, blames you or even hits you. you call him an ungrateful, good for nothing child. it's as good as stabbing yourself.

bottom line is, why make him learn the hard way and make things happen to the point of no return when all these can be avoided in the first place? see what i mean by plain stupidity?

not that I am mean, put it more plainly, your kid kill you nevermind, don't make other innocent people suffer because of your mistake.

and if one can afford money for cigarettes, why don't just spend some on PROTECTION??? it's a bloody vicious cycle. as in LITERALLY.

CELEBRATION

At the end of 100 mcq questions.......you just feel like feasting.

Even the xiao long bao you eat has to be bigger than others.

so big that you have to use a straw.....

..then we headed down to Millenia Walk's Big O to eat the legendary spike D aka D-cup....man, what's more sinful than a thinly chocolate-coated spongey-soft durian cake??? you can only imagine, until you make that trip down to Big O. [on a lamer note, think it's only B cup only lah...if you know what i mean.]

JM comic strip presents: my trademark hair-mess

cherine...FUNNIEST.

YY: hey, your birthday party have no theme?? c'mon, think of a theme!

ME: like color-code?? it's so CLICHE already....

Cher: not color code lah.....[continues eating] *um-qio* [as in giggles secretly].

ME: what you giggling about, JM?

YY: yar lor...say lah! faster.

Cher: [still giggling] don't want lah...it's damn funny...you all hear already sure think i'm siao one.

YY: just say lah!

Cher: i was thinking of the theme "BA XIAN" [as in 8-gods].

YY & ME: .......................................

*Food for thought*

at the taxi stand last night, i bumped into one of my friends in school. think he was with his girlfriend.

i was thinking, if that's really his girlfriend, howcome he doesn't hold her hand? hmmm...i watched them walk for some distance and they still never hold hands like they're just plain friends.

howcome some couples don't hold hands anymore after some time? it's the least a couple should do what. not that i'm into PDA but it's really weird seeing that.

could it be because they're so used to each other or they really hate doing so? that i don't know. it's just damn sad. don't need to be shy about it what. in a relationship, SKINSHIP is very important! [don't think dirty].

tomorrow....

tomorrow is the day for me to start legitimately slacking.

But before that, i gotta clear all the !@#$% notes that's been piling up at every corner of the house [actually, i'd love to burn them like what i always say after each paper. but i'm such an environmental friendly person].

to kick-start the celebration, the JIEMEIs are gonna feast at 'BIG O' after the asshole genes and society paper.

it's just weird how mugging for genes makes you feel you've aged a decade faster. not only that, it makes you wonder if you're really healthy, or even suspect that you have some inherited disease. what's worse is, you start imagining that everything you eat is artificial and can possibly mutate you....oh man.....the 'wonders' of biotechnology.

..and before you think there's only Dolly the sheep, there's Polly, Tracey, Megan and Morag...plus some monkeys and rats.....i hope none of our friends share the same names.

you're so lucky you don't have to learn about them. at least you can continue to live in delusion. haha.

anyways....TOMORROW...........lalalallalalaaaa~~~
