hiatus

it's been almost half a year
since my last post
safe to say
this blog is on hiatus

i'll just rattle my thoughts
into sandy's ear
;)

& dedicate my bloggin' days
to spansolina cufc
albeit underappreciated by many

techno nono

*sits back & goes: aaahhh...
last day of work
it's been a whirlwind of a year
i only remember bits & pieces
of how my last sem in NUS went
which probably spoke volumes
of whether i should have tried for honours

i know i know
the glory of the word "honours"
attached to a degree
as small a firm in i'm
& however minuscule my work matters
you can't replace workin' experience
& pay demands
with an extra year in school
cynical but true

most people end each year
with a 'best of' or 'worst of'
i'm followin' the norm
so here's my:
'5 techno temptations i'm relieved i didn't give in to in '08

1. iphone
tempting
especially with my CPF rebate
which i blew on god knows what
will still get it someday i believe
waitin' for apple/singtel
to make it worth my while

2. that set of speakers
with the new house
it was definitely tempting to pimp my room
with a good set of set of speakers
for my friday night lights, how i met your mother, etc
i even contemplated $500 bose speakers
brought it down to $99 altec lansing ones
but workin' for my dollar
made me realise i didn't need them

3. that porn account
i'm coming out to say it
when you watch those brilliant videos
they give you 1-3 minute snippets
cuttin' out the good stuff
& askin' you to pay for the full shit
i get tempted for a second
& go on another search engine
there's just too much free porn
to justify payin' for any

4. PS i love you
xbox360 is awesome... wii rocks...
fuck that & that
SNES
sega
they're like puppy love
PS1 is that lover you never forget
i've opted to us the PC (which is failin' me)
for my winning 11 fix
because it's free & easy to patch
but i'll always have PS in my heart
that is something other consoles
can never replace
unfortunately we had to end our affair at 2
because PS3 is just that high class chick
we always look at but can't afford

5. nds lite
was a fad in my home
with my bro gettin' it for his gf
& sands all over it
was toyin' with gettin' one for her
but the extra set we got at home
is on the bench
for the position as a paperweight
nuff said

i'm sure there're other tech temptations
that slipped my mind
& through my grasp
anyhows
to all my holmes
have a good one this x'mas
& let's have a spankin' 2009

p.s. p.s. you are my PS

money no good enough

i haven't seen every film made in 2008
but its safe to say
money no enough 2
is right up there with the worst

i'm no local/jack neo movie basher
money no enough
i not stupid
that one not enough
all hit the right notes
but money no enough 2
is appallin' (to be kind)
i couldn't bring myself to finish it
& duly dumped the DVD
it wasn't even worth keepin'

the nauseous endorsements for
mitsubishi
OCBC
mio TV
even regular TV ads
couldn't pimp those products more

the god awful plot
i'm not kiddin' myself when i say
i can come up with better
health supplement/mlm-like fiasco
en bloc fever
the ERP bit at the beginnin' was decent
but turned out to be the only bright spot
of a horrendous excuse for a movie

jack neo has come up short
on all fronts this time
his probable thought process:
"you know, people are complaining about ERP,
crazy about en bloc so let's put those in,
& recycle the health supplement story,
people will still watch it no matter what LAH"

if money no enough 3
miraculously surfaces
after another 10 years
just think that shit happens

"and i quote..."

why i don't miss school
other than the luxury of sleep:

work provides non-fictional everyday problems which can be solved & actually make a difference
whereas
school provides fictional problems which are a pain to solve that keep coming everyday

mean girls

i know i know
a double post
within' minutes
but it's F1 race week
every company out there ain't givin' a shit

after a sinister post
here's a pleasant one:
'chicks i would marry at a drop of a hat (& i'm sure you would too)
& i don't mean: "man, i wanna hit that"
but: "i wanna hold your hand, long walks down the beach, the works etc"
so in order of marriage...

5. sienna miller

instantbeauty.wordpress.com
if she hadn't screwed up so much lately
(after gettin' screwed over by jude)
this english rose might...
hell
i'll still marry her

4. jessica alba

aolcdn.com
got to be the hottest milf in the world right now
or maybe ever
she would probably be 3rd
if not for the fact she's actually married
but i'll still be a happy stepdad nonetheless

3.kristin kreuk

l.yimg.com
*aaahhh... kristin
how can you not love her?
*aaahhh...
how can you look at her & not think:
"i better not fuckin' screw this up, i need to marry her"
*aaahhh...

2. keeley hazell

theworldsbestever.com
before you say it's all about the boobs
i'm more smitten with her british accent, angelic face etc
okay, okay & her body
if i was joe cole
i'd dedicate every goal and stepover to her
it was worth gettin' beaten up over her eh joe?

1. lindsay lohan

topnews.in
before anyone gets on my back
hear me out
i've always had a thing for lindsay
it was the same with tara reid
who would have been a contender
if not for the massive shit she did with herself
hey i don't mind the rehab
just not relentless botched up surgeries
back to lindsay: i love you
but seriously
she looks gorgeous with any hair colour
and she's a lesbian
top that

special mention: cheryl tweedy & kate beckinsale

*disclaimer
all the chicks on this post have been chosen
based on the fact i'll never get them
if i somehow manage to
i shall be absolved of all blame
for the things i would do to accomplish that fact

please mtv, give me a ride

you've done it
i've done it
we've all had our moments as ugly singaporeans
cutting queues, chopping seats and other glorious antics
my rant today: who dares wins (or gets on the train)

i used to think who would want to drive to work
petrol, parking, erp (it has come to the point where they are buildin' gantries for fun)
but after startin' work
mrt rides instill fear in me
of unleashin' the ugly singaporean hidden within
unless i'm lucky
i miss an average of 3 trains
because i can't bear to push & shove my way in
and risk gettin' sliced by the closin' doors
*beep beep beep* doors slicin'...
maybe they should build erp gantries on train doors
to control traffic
that would be groovy

but like today
after like 4 trains passed me by
& 1 muthafooker who stepped in front of me
i decided to force my way in
& shit i hated that
how can people bear with this
& not want to buy a bike/car

even if i'm stuck in traffic
definitely beats havin' my face plastered to the door
& thrusted by some fat dude's belly
or a ginormous (this is an actual word now) bag

& for those people readin' a book
or "i can't read my free Today/mypaper some other time"
when the trains are at their brims
i hope the train comes to a sudden halt
and you get sliced by your book/paper

please mtv, give me a ride

because some things can't be taught

got to check this website out: Uncoached

especially where he jacks the myspace profiles
