Kaname chan.....

Sighh...I have this tendency to fall in love with animes...think the real world is too bland sometimes. Which is somewhat ironic since the world of animes actually involve lots of bloodshed, tears, traumatising past or experiences, weird enemies etc. Whew.

Anyway, latest love is Full Metal Panic in all its installations, basically love it for the chemistry between Chidori and Sagara. I think I behave like Sagara sometimes, not knowing what to do in the company of females, except I am not a military fanboy otaku.

Its ok, Sagara can keep Chidori (dream girl), I can go for Tessa...wooooo.

Sad, I need a life.

Thumping headache

Got this little achy headache now...must be because there's still this assignment hanging over my head. Damn it...and I have still yet to see my flexipass tickets in the mailbox yet AND stupid ATM machine ate my card today for absolutely no reason at all. Luckily managed to get it sort out all within 45 minutes time. Amazing record for Aussie efficiency I tell ya. Although I have to wait till next week before a new card comes in.

Ha ha ha

From www.talkingcock.com:


CUM IN ME SINGAPORE
[Sung to the tune of Count On Me Singapore, alternate lyrics by Kok Kok Klan]

There is a new law for us to follow
Just believe, just believe
We must make love for Singapore
To make babies, to make babies
Boys and girls, let's do our part
Stand together, butt to butt
Our birth rate is getting low, and we must stop it
To make babies, to make babies

There is a need to know sex is good and ain't a sorrow
So let's drop our pants and do what Steve Chia died for
I ejaculated in your ass, it's a disaster Singapore shares
Stop oral and anal sex, oh horny you and me
Let’s make babies, let’s make babies

Cum in me Singapore, cum in me and on my ass no more

Boys and girls, don't poke your butts,
Fark together, test your luck
Our birth rate is getting low, and we must stop it
To make babies, to make babies

Chorus:
Cum in me Singapore, cum in me Singapore
Cum in me and on my ass no more

(Repeated Chorus)

Cum in me Singapore Singapore (FADE OUT)

And more are coming...

One down....

And one more major essay to go (plus one little tutorial journal)! I will conquer it! Thou shalt not SLACK!

Published letter on Today paper

I am amazed they actually published it. I even made some civilised insults in the original letter I sent, oh well, I leave it as it is.

I refer to the letter, "Give each S'pore family $500" (Today, May 31) by Mr Tan Kin Lian.
.
His call for Singapore's currency to be devalued is short sighted and reveals many fallacies of thought. More importantly, it does not consider the inflationary effects of such devaluation on the country.
.
There will be no magical rush in the numbers of tourists or a sudden rise in demand for our exports just because our currency is weaker.
.
Many factors are at play including the relative price elasticity of our goods vis-à-vis our competitors.
.
Our neighbours will always give more bang for the buck when it comes to tourist dollars — think beautiful natural beaches and friendly people, versus dour sales assistants at many of our shopping centres.
.
T** **** M***

On an unrelated note, yeah got screwed by my groupmates for slacking...oh well, too bad, I got them the company to interview and they don't know how many hours I spent prior to the final part of the project just searching for the relevant articles so as to let them understand the industry. Sian. I am not a scholar material cos I choose to slack. How's that?

Natural bordom

From the princton career review:

Career interests

People with green Interests like job responsibilities and occupations that involve persuasion, sales, promotions, and group or personal contact. People with green Interests enjoy activities that include: motivating, mediating, selling, influencing, consensus building, persuading, delegating authority, entertaining, and lobbying. These Interests often lead to work in marketing, advertising, training, therapy, consulting, teaching, law, and public relations.



Career Style

People with yellow styles perform their job responsibilities in a manner that is orderly and planned to meet a known schedule. They prefer to work where things get done with a minimum of interpretation and unexpected change. People with a yellow style tend to be orderly, cautious, structured, loyal, systematic, solitary, methodical, and organized, and usually thrive in a research-oriented, predictable, established, controlled, measurable, orderly environment. You will want to choose a work environment or career path in which your style is welcomed and produces results.

Life's like that huh...

Read an email last night during one of my regular midnight hour internet surfings, an old time friend had died in a freak fire accident. It was in the news and of course gossip fodder for the tabloids.

I didn't really know what to feel or think, so I just picked up the phone and made calls across distances that usually takes seven hour by SQ planes. I hadn't seen that friend for more than a couple of years already and I have always been harping on to a mutual friend of ours that I would look them up whenever I go back for the holidays. But I didn't.

Cue those comments for life is like that, life is fated and blah blah blah...

The thing is, I didn't really feel all that sad but neither am I exuberantly excited (yeah that would be really perverse), but it did gave me a good excuse to make some calls back to inform some of our old mutual friends; just to hear familar voices for that comfort, to touch the distant memories, to reassure myself that there are some of those whom I care about are still around.

My friend did not have an easy life, well comparatively to her and most of my peers. She had a mind of her own and can be safely said to be obstinate with most things we disagreed on. But the last time I ever talked to her over the phone was really ages ago. With me coming and going away from Singapore, somehow I lose touch with some of the friends who didn't really deserve to be dropped, well, it wasn't on purpose, people drift away and I accept that. I hope, that for all her troubles and worries she had in her life before yesterday morning, that she did not at any point felt that she lived her life in vain, for she had left that little imprint on the hearts of her friends.
