Argh

so i have something i need to get off my chest.......it's been buggin me alot but ive jus chosen not to blog abt it cos i doubt many would understand.......

i found out that i could have gotten my dream set of wheels in the first place........

recently found out that the PCD of my car was actually 4x100 when all along i had thought it was 4x114.3.........and none of the list of wheels i had originally wanted had the 4x114.3 PCD..........thus i had no choice but to settle for a set of wheels that i had totally not wanted.......

so since i had thought my car had a 4x114.3 PCD and i had bought a set of wheels which i thought was 4x114.3 PCD as well, then how in the first place did it fit on my car which is actually 4x100?

this set has dual PCD, meaning it has holes for both 4x100 and 4x114.3.........thus when the workshop guys threw the set on, they thought it was mounted on the holes meant for 4x114.3 PCD............

sighz.........and how did i find out my ride is actually 4x100? saw a post in one of the forums where some guy had a similar ride that was released arnd the same period and he had measured the PCD............when i did the same, i found it was really 4x100........and not 4x114.3

now, this poses a big problem........i am now very tempted to go back to the tyre shop and negotiate for a new set........which does not bode well for my wallet and would in turn then set my mod plan back by quite a fair bit.........

how how how?

not to mention im oh-so-tempted to splurge on a new washmitt and drying towels........haiz........i need a windfall......i need a nice big huge windfall........

Shit

i cant study anymore~!!!!

shit.....

it always happens sometime ard the end of exams.......in 3 days, i head for the final leg of the exams......and i cant seem to study anymore~!!!!! ive got abt 2 more chapters, 7 tutorials and 2 past yr papers to go for the final subject and nothing's going in~!!!!!

and to make things worse, this is the weekend.......my productivity is lowest on the weekends......i call it the "Bookout Syndrome"...........although i believe a majority of people probably feel the same way abt weekends, but i think for the guys in sg, there are a few extra differentiating chractieristics.........

1. The feeling of euphoria waking up in the morning realising you are sleeping in your own bed.
2. That clean feeling when you open your wardrobe and realise you have clean clothes and a larger variety than just camo green.
3. That anticipation of what saturday night entails.
4. The feeling of seeing a female form that was seemingly lost while in camp.
5. The dreaded feeling of seeing only male forms for the whole of next week on sunday evenings. That's also when the "Book In Syndrome" starts.

im not too sure abt the gays tho.......the last 2 points might be swapped.......

i cant believe after 4 years out of NS, i'm still writing a post on it.........withdrawal symptoms maybe.......or maybe that's my calling - the honour of defending my country......yes, i shall join the army~!!!!! to unleash the patriot in me~!!!!

i really really need to study........else ill probably really really end up with no other choice than to join the army.........

Gastric Issues

after a mid day snack of hot chocolate and chocolate butter cake, i had this conversation with my dad who was back from work........he's working from home or so he claims.....his company allows that policy, but im more inclined to believe he's jus "pontang-ing" (playing truant)......

Me : So PAP has not come back to power.
Dad : uh-huh. *reading the paper*
Me : I'm hungry.
Dad : It's a viral infection. *reading the paper*
Me : Huh?
Dad : You've got a viral infection.
Me : That's why I'm hungry?
Dad : Yep. Stomach flu.
Me : Stomach flu makes me hungry?
Dad : Yep. *still reading*
Me : But all the times I've had gastric flu, I've never felt hungry. Actually I felt less hungry.
Dad : It's a stomach flu. I've had it many times. You know when you have flu, your joints ache, when you have stomach flu it's different.
Me : And each time you feel hungry?
Dad : uh huh *still reading*

im guessing his bouts of stomach flu act up every nite jus before he sleeps.......a few coughs, some sniffles, a slice of cake, biscuits, a bowl of instant noodles and there you have it....stomach flu......such a genius, my father.........

now i know what to tell pple each time i sit down with food at odd hours of the day.....i have a stomachache

Oooooo......

so today is nomination day......and channelnewsasia is doing their full coverage on it.......

any1 noticed how hot some of the reporters are nowadays? Glenda Chong, Sharon Tong, Lynlee Foo and Cheryl Fox......ohyes, the evergreen favourite Diana Ser.......

im beginning to find current affairs more interesting........

My Prayers have been Answered~!

THE HEAVENS HAVE ANSWERED MY PRAYERS~!!!!!

i have found the kway chap stalls of the old blanco court~!!!!! woot~!!!!

in case any1 else is interested, one is at serangoon gardens food centre.....not chomp chomp, it's at the food centre nearer the shell petrol station.........the other is at the old airport road food centre, even nearer to my place~!!!! woot~!!!!!

Being Relevant

strangely enuf, the sound of diana krall's voice seems to calm me down a lot better than the voices of most other singers......not too sure why, but it calms me down enuff for me to get down to studying..........

the songs that have found a permanent place on my playlist throughout this whole semester have been:
1. Just The Way You Are - Diana Krall
2. Forever Young - Alphaville
3. We Belong Together - Mariah Carey
4. Quando Quando Quando - Michael Buble & Nelly Furtado
5. More Than This - Norah Jones & Charlie Hunter
6. The Girl from Ipanema - Frank Sinatra

they say the music a person listens to says alot about him/her..........and the choice of songs may reflect his/her mental state at that point in his/her life........

well.......let's see......i grew up listening to MJ.........moved on to teenybopper music going on to more rock stuff with top40s.......ohya, there was the gangsta rap phase in btwn those two.......then to the techno, then trance, then lounge & bossanova.......now ive gone alittle retro, jazz, big band/swing and house music......

the little retro bit im guessing is thnks to the sense of nostalgia that hangs ard the increasing number of things i can reminisce abt.......i can imagine when i finally get old (i am still young), i would be listening to nothing but retro.......just like how my parents stick to listening to their "lao ge" (old mandarin/dialect songs).........believe it ornot, there are times i enjoy listening to "ye lai xiang", "wo you yi duan qing" or "shanghai tan" cos i grew up listening to them in the car rides to school or around town with the family.........

sorry i cant translate the titles of those songs for the non-chinese, i attempted but decided it would be better not to.......

have been looking at my dad recently and reflecting upon myself.........he's going through some form of mid-life crisis i believe.........he's been going ard like a bad nike commercial spouting his new motto in life, "Just Do It". not only that, he seems to be desperately trying to impart his knowledge to us the young ones - my sis and i........actually, now that my sis has her own place, im the only young one left bearing the full brunt of it all.......

just like in a particular episode of Boston Legal, where Denny Crane gave a speech to his long time friend abt the both of them trying to stay relevant to society at their age......i think my dad seems to be trying to do the same........he has this idea that he knows everything, he can do everything and wat he does is right..........well, so does every1 i guess......he turns everything into a lecture.......even small little things like whether ornot to spend money on a new pair of jeans or save it for something else turns into a lecture/seminar which has the possible agenda:

1. The importance of managing your resources
2. Bearing the consequences of your decisions
3. "There is no such thing as a bad decision"
4. Managing not so favourable outcomes of your decision through positive thinking
5. The importance of street smarts in your life.

J used to need to attend 2hr long seminars/tutorials for classes.......me, i never attended any of my lectures/tutorials cos those my dad gave pretty much drained me of all energy i had initially planned for attending my lessons........

im not being ungrateful or bad.....im pretty happy he's still around, especially for my mum.......the times when he goes overseas, she gets pretty lonely.....it swings the same way when my mum is busy with work..........

but perhaps the one thing that bothers me and worries me the most is the fact that i might one day end up like him........

cos looking at my sis and i, my mum and her mother, my dad and his dad.........i cant help but draw the conclusion that we are all destined to become like our parents in more ways than one.........

not that it is bad......but i certainly don't want to be committing the same mistakes my parents did..........yet, it seems alittle inevitable at times........sometimes things just don't sway the way you want them to sway......

Half Way There

finished my 4th paper today........and it was pretty ok........i like my chances........

now that ive reached the halfway mark, and im nearing the finishing line, i feel obliged to reflect on the journey so far......and then i realise.......there's not much to reflect abt........ill wait till i reach the end.........

~ . ~

think ive been spending too much time staring at the uberburger from yesterday's paper......

reason for my saying so is the dream i had last nite.......some how after reading the article over and over umpteen times, the idea of chomping down on a juicy premium wagyu beef patty got permanently stuck in my head, i dreamt that i was in a japanese restaurant serving a burger similar to the uberburger........and the sushi chef was the one preparing the burger......he showed me the strip of beef that was to be made into the patty and proceeded to hand mince the beef..........

there was a section in the article which mentioned a restaurant selling another gourmet burger which had hand minced beef patties........in case any1 is wondering how the hand mincing ties into the whole story.....

from this point, the whole dream started to go wonky.........

while the chef was preparing the patty, i left for the toilet and somehow magically got transported into a car parking lot and i was trying to look for my car.........normal? not when the car park belongs to a certain secondary school that had turned into a brothel......

heard some screams and i ran to find out wat was wrong.......found a room with a girl crying and covering herself with a blanket while 2 men were trying to get jiggy with her.......so long story short, i saved the damsel in distress..........

and then she turned into a penguin.......

and then the penguin offered me a sea urchin (think this had something to do with my watching the recent episode of Lost 2 where the korean guy was using sea urchin bits to attract fish).........

the sea urchin then turned into a uberburger.........which i tried to take a bite out of.......but i woke up.........damn........

now, i think dreams are supposed to mean something.........

Morning Blah

i believe there is a new ninth wonder of the world........the eighth was me of course......

so the ninth wonder of the world is............the 101 burger by new burger joint uberburger~!

saw it on the papers today and im just dying to go try it.........foie gras, black truffle and one huge ass meat patty...........*lau nua*

ohyes, it costs $101

did abit of surfing and came up with the menu of the joint.......it's on page 3 at the bottom left corner........which leaves me wondering why on earth would they wanna hide it.......such a gem shld be proudly plastered smack in the middle of the menu, 2 page centerfold spread
http://www.uberburger.com/ubereats/menu.pdf

there isnt a picture in the menu but believe me, the sight of it left my breakfast suddenly feeling rather inadequate.........

~ . ~

had wanted to post abt this next thing earlier, but blogging was the last thing on my mind during the last couple of days......had come down with the flu.......

went for a job interview last monday (note: it was my birthday~!), i arrived early and had to wait at the reception area for a while.......the company seemed to be doing some form of office re-location/renovation of some sort and there was a guy in a nice suit with a laptop working in the store room just behind a door in the reception area...........and along comes an attractive young lady.........tall, slim, well preened.....and they started talking.........both obviously looked and sounded like they were intelligent and well educated people.........before long a few other girls came and all were having their little pow-wow when i heard this exchange..........i forgot their names, so ill stick with X and Y

Tall Lady : awww.......X (the store room guy) so poor thing, always moving around.
Store Room Guy : yea lor......
Tall Lady : you know you can use Y's (somebody else) office. that would be better.
Store Room Guy : but i need to print some stuff.
Tall Lady : yea lah, can use Y's office.
Store Room Guy : cannot lah. i need to connect to the printer.
Tall Lady : huh? need to connect to the printer to print things meh?

the room fell pretty silent with that last bit..........i was pretty much trying not to fall out of my seat laffing........

Tall Lady : orh....liddat i cannot help liao. im not very good with this kinda stuff, sorry X.

that would be an overstatement........

Cough

birthdays and sore throats do not get along well with each other......but i guess the sore throat comes with over-indulging and over-indulging comes together with a lack of control during birthdays......

been having too much rich food past few days.....there was the chocolate truffle cake, a whole box of chocolates prior to that, heavy suppers, dinner with J last nite at Pasta Cafe which incidentally is pretty good followed by a jumbo cup of Yami yoghurt and then finishing it all off with a small little teeny weeny slice of chocolate cake which J had got and planted a teeny weeny little candle on top of it........

i see the reason y im turning into a softie.........

the sore throat, however, is not as soft.......im on my 5th bottle of water today, that's abt 7.5L of water already, and the thing feels as bad as it did this morning while my bladder is screaming bloody murder........cant really concentrate much on studying as well, been feeling light headed the whole day and alittle feverish........perhaps it is the effects of drinking too much water, the drowning feeling........

anywayz, J recently mentioned abt a certain online forum where girls go to to swop ideas on basically anything and everything on beauty, fashion, work, jobs, boys, etc etc.

in the midst of feeling delirious, i decided to pop by the forum and see wat's so interesting.......yea, i was pretty out of it to do that.........well i found out that some things are just not meant for guys to know, jus as how some things girls are not meant to know........

but one thing that was very prominent and very typical of females, was how the exchanges were carried out.......compared to a typical male dominated forum......alot more reinforcement of emotions and things said rather than, "aiya, dun worry, it's liddat one. "

ohyes, and the whole forum is in pink.......they even have cutesy names for the different levels of membership in the forum.........

the way i see it, at the rate im spending so much time with J, ill probably end up posting in that forum more than i do in the car forums.........i so hope that day will never come......getting in touch with the girl in me..........tho i dun intend on touching myself the same way.....

think im really abt to come down with something bad.......sighz.......talk abt bad timing.....

Happy Birthday to ME~!!!!

well, a good birthday it has been........the best in quite a while........

it didnt start off that good actually......woke up in the morning with a scratchy throat.......it was aggravated further when the flooring guy came to do up the parquet flooring........the dust and smell from the lacquer served to irritate me and my throat further..........bcos of that, studying became a tremendous task........then again, i was jus dilly dallying......it's my bday.......i don't study on my birthdays........

the throat's feeling alot worse now........im gonna abandon this attempt at a birthday post and leave it till the morning.........

so, once more, for the last time before the next year - Happy Birthday to ME~!!!!

Oh No

i have a problem........im getting older by the minute........

jus realised that my right hand is more wrinkled than my left......

sighz.....

Pre

had intended to consolidate all the birthday happenings all into one post and post it up on the day itself......but for fear that i might be at a loss of words due to the overwhelming emotions i feel on the day itself, i decided to post on the things as they come..........

yea, like as if i would ever not have anything to say abt something.......still, it pays to be cautious........

so first off, i have gotten myself a new phone~!!!! had been eyeing it for awhile, and saw an ad in the papers selling it pretty cheap after trade in.........so i thought, y not..........after which i thought, this is not gonna be good.......reason being, i have a tendency to spend continuously once i start.........my track record speaks for itself........and yep, i already have quite a few purchases lined up next, all based on the excuse that it is my birthday...........

anywayz.....here's the phone.......it's a nokia 7360........


interesting thing abt it is, i managed to get the last piece of this colour (coffee brown) at the shop.....and i was informed at an earlier nokia specialty shop that they were stopping imports of this colour model........lucky me......i love birthdays........and that wasnt it.......at the shop, the sales guy said he would give me an extra $20 for the trade in value of my old phone........his reason being that it was his last day at work and i was his last customer........

did i mention i love birthdays?

this is the first phone i have gotten for myself since.........2002.......i had gotten a 6510 for myself using some money from my NS paycheck a the time.......btwn that and this phone, i had hand-me downs from my sis and bro-in-law.......so this new one is pretty much overdue........for $78, well worth it i say..........

other than the new little bundle of joy, mum cooked the customary yoh ji mee sua every member of the family eats on their birthdays.........

yoh ji mee sua = pig's kidney with vermicelli........not japan/korean hip hop singer......

and then she went on to buy a cake.......im not a big fan of birthday cakes though, but this was a chocolate truffle cake........nuff said..........

so here's the cake......


delicious looking isnt it?

It is my Birthday......soon

i think im turning into a serious photo whore.......crap.....im turning gay as well......

with my bday just 2 days away, my head is spinning with all the possible things i can photograph jus to immortalise the point at which i turn 25.........

believe me, there'll be much more of this incessant blogging abt my bday for the next few days at least.......especially since i do not have much else to do, what with the exams during the same period........it sucks really, to have your bday fall in the mating season......lucky for the animals on discovery channel if they are having their birthdays.........not so lucky for me....

anywayz, speaking of media whoring, there's this 4 page coverage in the lifestyle section of the sunday times today on the socialites of sg.......

quite the gossip/bitchy article it was........it gave insight into the lesser known world of the A-List circle in our little red dot and the ugly side to it......tales of sugar-mamas/papas, what the new breed of A-Listers are like, etc, etc.......pretty juicy.......

one of the statements made that caught my eye was how sg's chi-chi crowd pales in comparison to those abroad and in neighbouring countries in terms of sophistication and class.......

not surprising i say........but then again, the dirt really isnt gonna be any different isnt it?

then i noticed how much the article seemed to focus on the ladies in the A-List........abt how they whore themselves in front of the camera by performing ridiculous antics jus to grab attention, abt the different tantrums or fits they throw jus to tell the whole world they are still worth the world's attention........oh yes, not forgetting the cattiness........

what happened to all the men?

i do have a theory for this but im lazy to type it out........but it has something to do with how men jus seem to fight their wars on a different stage and are more capable of leaving things in the boardroom than women (might be different further up the ranks i dunno, im jus guessing)......which is wat the new breed of A-List ladies are shifting to as well........maybe then, the guys will start media whoring themselves as well........that would be jus fun..........

the article did end with what i feel is a very true statement, "We as humans crave for attention and affection. Some are just more desperate for it." or something to that extent.......

so, why do we blog? really. voicing ourselves and wanting to be heard be it online or in a book is as much a need for some attention as it is a need for emotional relief isnt it?

back to the topic of my bday...........

A little bit of me

abit of narcissism b4 i hit the sack.......

googled my name on googlism and these are some of the results:

kyne is a lecherous one
kyne is an excellent fit for triax at this stage in our development
kyne is beautiful and very intellectual
kyne is president
kyne is our hero
kyne is going to have me executed for treason
kyne is another centaur

*ahem* beautiful and intellectual.........president........hero.......i like......this is a narcissistic post......i am allowed to be blind towards certain things.......

YouTube Time

time for some light-heartedness

im a big fan of this song........this vid is pretty farney
The Lion Sleeps Tonight

then there's Real Life Simpson's Intro

i love jamiroquai and i think jay kay is a great artiste, he likes fast cars as well......so this vid me likes too.....gotta go get the dvd when it comes out......

MSU 2006 Again

i promise this will be the last post on the new miss singapore universe........

is it just me or does any1 else think that the new msu looks like one of those cartoon caricatures u see in the papers, those small little one frame cartoons that depict political figures with big heads and small bodies............

she really looks like a real life cartoon depiction of a typical spg.........especially when she smiles......her head kinda.....swells......amongst other swellings........

lemme say this.......i do not think all MSUs are ugly and undeserving.........the previous MSU, Cheryl Tay, definitely had my vote..........beautiful, smart, enuf glam........ohya, and absolutely HOT...........before her, Bernice Wong, wasnt too shabby either..........

i guess i realise y Carol Cheong was chosen over Jade Seah........jade is not mature pretty.....well i wouldnt call carol pretty, but i guess she seems to exude a more mature air without opening her mouth........jade is young cute pretty.........so i guess that's where she lost out......other than in cup size.......

cheryl tay, nuraliza osman, bernice wong, eunice olsen all have a certain matured look to them........not the sweet young thing look like jamie teo and jade seah have.......and im guessing a majority of pple like the sweet young thing look...........but even if the argument is that jade has more brains, she might not be as mature in beauty and brains.........maturity is different from having the analytical skills and being smart........

i guess maturity is wat the judges are looking for........short of sending a Mrs to the international competition...........the international pagent might probability need maturity more than just brains.......ohyes, boobs are important too........she wins hands down in this department........

lemme just say, Cheryl Tay is my favourite MSU.........she's smart, beautiful, poised, has a six pack and ohyes, she is H-O-T.......

Time and Tide

jus came back from today's exam paper.......shld pass i guess.......so another one bites the dust......4 more to go.......bring it on baby.........

anyhow, realised i have pretty much lost track of time.........time is now relative to the intervals between my exam papers.........all i do is jus count the days in between and i know when was/is the last/next paper.........

it was a thought that crossed my mind while working on my paper earlier.........

i realised that i had forgotten the date.......not momentarily......i had totally forgotten which month or which day of the wk today was.........as far as i was concerned, i have another 11 days till the next paper.......

and then i realised i had forgotten that my birthday is in this month.........actually, right now i have absolutely no idea wat the date is today.......and no idea how many days away my birthday is.......only after reading kene's post did i realise i have another 5 days.......

it's gonna be my 25th bday soon and ive absolutely forgotten abt it~!!!

shortfart asked earlier how i wanted to celebrate my bday........and my answer was pretty much nothing.......im pretty much prepared to fore-go everything jus for me to pass these exams.........but i wasnt expecting to forget my birthday..........

i havent missed a single bday so far......evry time when april swings by, i count the days till the big day........so naturally i am pretty sore abt forgetting this year's......thankfully it hasnt passed else i would probably shoot myself in the foot............

or i might jus forget abt it and jus continue living my life, turning into another passion-less singaporean worker........

Sighz......

if i ever become one of those dirty old men who sit by the roadside doing nothing but oogling at girls or reading dirty magazines, i will have 7-11 to thank for it.......

they are still not selling any mr softee~!!!!!

jus got back from a long long walk in search of my mr softee mix or something to cure my itching mouth..........and i come back with a copy of FHM.........

not only do i not cure my itch, i am left contending with salivation issues.....the spotlight is on the winner of FHM's 2006 Girl Next Door contest......i dun usual buy FHM but the cover girl caught my eye, so i thought why not.........

it has begun, my downward spiral to a dirty old man.........sighz........

so anywayz, after a walk to the nearest 7-11 i realised they still do not have any mr softee......leaving the place i thought to myself, or rather my stomach thought,"Feed me." and then it thought,"bak kut teh".

bak kut teh = good shit.............okok, for a stomach to think good shit doesnt really explain things rite now.......bak kut teh = spare ribs soup

so off i went in search of the stall selling bak kut teh further down the road, thinking i would fill my stomach while flipping through my copy of FHM.....i remember they had a sign along the main road.........but after much walking, the sign was nowhere to be found........so, as dejected as i was, i turned around and headed home...........

which leads me to this post........and this situation: no mr softeee, no bak kut teh, a hungry stomach, a copy of FHM and no vaseline........

looks like tonite, it's just gonna be me, myself and my FHM..........ohyes, and my set of notes for 2mrw's exam paper.......sighz........kinda like a very long marriage situation.....menopausal wife on one hand and hot young chick on the other.......

D-552

well, this is it.....2mrw will be the first day of hopefully wat will be the last slew of exams of my academic life.........

and in 3wks + 2 days, all of it will be over.......hopefully, that is..........

i believe in karma........as in, wat goes round comes ard........so, in a selfish bid to garner more good luck for myself this coming exam, i wish all those taking exams good luck as well.......as for those who are not taking any exams or test........well, good luck too~!!!

note, this is purely a selfish motive, my wishing u all good luck.......so dun take it that im being nice.......one wrong move and ill still make sure u r gripe fodder on this blog........

so, good luck pple~!!!

~ . ~

as in all exam periods aka mating season, my eating habits change pretty drastically......this season has started off pretty much the same........

the last season, it was ben & jerry's ice-cream........finishing 8 pints in the span of the final 2wks of exams left me very much........heftier......

this time, no diff.......tho i think at the end of these exams, ill be much worse off than before.........it started with KFC (fell 2 pieces short of my record 9) on saturday nite, pizza on sunday nite and nasi lemak last nite.....all these jus a couple of hours after dinner each time......i can jus feel the extra weight already.........

well, heck, this is gonna be the last time.......i hope......guess it's time open the flood gates~!

Some Self Indulgence

saw a post by faythxz who out of curiosity decided to wiki her own birthdate.....

since my bday is just round the corner, decided to do the same, and this is wat came up

Events:
1025 - First king of Poland was crowned
1775 - Paul Revere began his ride from Charlestown to Lexington to warn the americans the british were coming
1934 - The first washateria opens in Fort Worth, Texas
1942 - WWII: The Doolittle Raid on Tokyo occurred
1945 - WWII: Over 1000 bombers raided an island of Germany leaving nothing standing
1980 - The Repulic of Zimbabwe came into being with its first prez, Canaan Banana
1981 - The longest pro baseball game played: 8hrs 25mins

Births:
1963 - Conan O'Brien, American comedian
1969 - Princess Sayako of Japan
1976 - Melissa Joan Hart, American actress
and a whole lot of pple i dunno, cant seem to find my entry in it though......think i shld remind them.......

Deaths:
1955 - Albert Einstein, we all know who he is...poor einy
and a whole lot of pple i dunno

Holidays and Observances:
A whole ton of feast days. Dun really know what feast days are, checked up on the meanings but im still not sure if they mean days which pple gorge themselves crazy.

my entry in the list of births would be something like:
1981 - Kyne Lim, Singaporean who's so full of it.

decided the last few words were redundant.........

MSU 2006

so the new Miss Singapore Universe has been crowned.......more gripe fodder for me then....

let's say it once more, altogether now, "Size Matters".........and that refers to a contestant's T&A.......

incidentally, the contestant that J's been going loony abt got 1st runner up.......which left me a blubbering mess i.e. an upset/distraught girlfriend.......while im no fan of how she looks, out of the whole lot i think she deserved to have won........but who knew.....i guess she lost out by a cup size few cup sizes.........i wonder if such events have an impact on pple......a total blow to the female ego?

then again, in our little country, getting the miss universe title doesnt seem to garner u as many opportunities in the enteratinment industry as getting the 1st runner up...........and considering that jade seah has been in the entertainment industry before, getting 1st runner up might just be the thing to jump start her career.........

im no fan of her looks.......she is pretty, but not miss universe pretty........at least not in my books.......none of them have it........miss universe pretty is alot of things.......poise, posture, clean cut features, confidence, that glam factor........to me, jade doesnt have the glam factor......and okok, so it has been proven, she needs to be a few cup sizes larger as well......really, if we r to be competing in an international beauty pagent we gotta appeal to the international scene which does not comprise solely asians..........if they think bigger is better, wat can we do? implants lah........

then again, this doesnt mean that evry sg girl shld go running off to get implants.......like the question asked in the contest, "What do you think of the notion that foreign men are better than local men?" which all the contestants seemingly vehemently put down (textbook answer actually and i wonder how many were lying through their teeth).........local men have grown to like women of lesser.......mass.......and we are comparable to foreign men......so, there isnt a need to get implants jus cause this pagent has blatantly shown favour towards bigger mammaries..........

i jus dun like to use the word breast........it spoils my appetite when i eat chicken.......the image of a chicken with mammaries doesn't whet my appetite much........

Blah

i realise i aint the guy to listen/read abt when it comes to politics.........heck, i dun think any singaporean has much exposure to really funky dogfight kinda politics.........then again, wat do i know........i hardly bother since after all, year after year, it's the same.........

and they ask y the young of this country are not as interested in their country's issues as they should be......too bland geddit?!?!

but.......the mating season does wonders to the brain......and i am abt to attempt to write a post on pple and elections..........not pointing fingers at any particular government, just a general post in trying to explain to myself how elections work........

that was the disclaimer and forewarning.......

so anywayz, came across this......thingy........in my study material. describing mutual exclusion in distributed systems.........im guessing only a handful understand wat the last few words meant........anyhow, there's this "Ricart & Arasomethingsomethinggorn Algorithm" which looks suspiciously like the ideal model of.......gasp........DEMOCRACY!

and there i was thinking we would never see such a model in our world ever again......

it made me think, something's amiss.......y would any1 encode this antique piece of information in a bunch of computer engineering notes? is it to prevent an evil power mongering government from finding it and destroying the ideals that we all hold dear....to tear apart the fabric of our universe?!?!?

and maybe....jus maybe, it is propaganda........sublimal propaganda......by teaching us this algorithm, we are led to believe in an ideal form of government which possibly does not exist anywhere in our world today.........

and then, i might jus be getting way ahead of myself........

my extravagantly rich neighbour has jus bought himself a new car.........not jus any car......he's gotten himself a new porsche Cayenne.........not sure if it's a Cayenne turbo......frankly, i could never see the purpose of SUVs in sg. other than to fulfill the big egos of our male population and some testosterone driven women.......and soccer moms.....

we dun have outbacks, offroads or jungle, or monster truck rallies, we dun have lakes to park nearby and pitch tent, no snow capped peaks.......our small dark roads are occupied by pimps and whores so ya cant have drive-by shootings.........our families are not exactly very big either, mainly cos our houses arent........so would any1 need a SUV other than to irritate the hell out of pple like me on the road?!?!?

they take up too much space on the road and in the parking lots, hell of a dangerous at speed as well.......so y would any1 still want one?!?!

it's like having a wife with huge boobs when u only have one kid to feed.......

then again, a man's love for cars can never be explained........im jus being jealous........not of his car....not this particular one, no........

I'm a Star~!

i have come to a conclusion on y i am bored during exams.........

i am supposed to be a singer........wat am i doing sitting here stuyding.....i shld be out there meeting/making fans and giving false hope to my groupies that i will marry them someday and have their kids.........

eat that all those american/australian/singapore/pop idol and campus/superband/project superstars..........me bigger than all of ya.......

who am i kidding...........poor groupies........

Why doesn't it snow in April?

as much as i like the month of april cos it is the mth of my bday, the weather can drive pple crazy........the hot mornings and early afternoons followed by torrential rain in the late afternoons and evenings can drive a person to near insanity either from the fluctuating temperatures or cos he/she has jus washed the car.......

i suffer the effects of both, so u see the reason for my griping......

this past wkend has been the 3rd wkend in a row where i have washed my car only for it to rain and spoil all my hard work the following day.........sighz......

that's jus the car washing, the temperature is driving me up the wall.......and up the weighing scale as well judging by this afternoon's errrr........escapade? the words are not coming to me right now........bloody weather.......

it was blinking hot just after lunch........and i had woken up from a nap sweating buckets.....the bed has this wet patch on it with my body shape.......yep, has.....not had.....decided to go find myself alittle something cool to eat at the nearby 7-11 after much attempts to settle down and study..........but amazingly, they were out of mr softee~! unbelievable.....how could they not sell mr softee in this weather?!?!

determined to get my mr softee, i headed to another branch along frankel avenue........and there wasnt any mr softee either!!! finally settled for a bottle of milk green tea........thought it would be the same as those i had drank in taiwan some years back......."thought" being the operative word here.............

was heading back home when i passed the coffee shop selling frankel avenue's famous wantan mee.......no prizes for guessing wat happened next.......

so to put things very simply:
1. wash car + rain = me crazy
2. hot aftnoon + lunch + nap + no mr softee + lousy drink + good wantan mee = me fat

and i blame it all on this friggin weather........does any1 else see a cause for concern?

FWAH~!!!!

there are few events in this time and space continuum that warrants a guy dropping everything he is doing..........

and one of those events is a Victoria's Secret Fashion show.............

this is the repeat telecast........and im still awed by the whole thing........models included of course.........they are anatomical anomalies~!!!!

Ahhhhh.........

with most of my assignments and projects more or less completed, and the exams are drawing near........decided to do give my ride alittle luvin over the past wkend considering i had neglected it for the past mth and i probably will be neglecting it for the next exam month or so too........

tried some new products i got off the net........and without going into details, they are are good......damn good......

realised i havent had a good shot of the car in good sunlight before too........so here's the money shot.......

ARGH~!!!!

of all the worst things to happen, this has to happen now.........my net connection is down.......bloody hell..........this throws a nice big chocolate hippo into things.....

now im leeching off a neighbour's wireless network........ooooo....so exciting....there's always the element of excitement, the anticipation of getting caught when u do something naughty..........almost the same as wading around in a pool of mud looking for that elusive chocolate hippo........

in case any1 is wondering wat was that all abt, check this link

Warming Up

throughout the course of my education, a few pple might know i like to come up with relations between certain mathematical equations and facts of everyday life.........my favourite one still has to be this, taken off one of the axioms in Discrete Mathematics:

"For all G, If A sees, B sees. If B sees, C sees. Therefore, if A sees, C sees."

this applies to the "Girl walking by" event.........

today, while mulling ard siglap's mac and waiting for my other project mates to arrive for our project meeting, i had an epiphany once again........this time i have managed to explain the relation between Love and Sex.

we all know that the relation between the 2 is often argued, and it is a very grey area. no right or wrong really, at least that's my view on it. every individual has a view on that but that is not the point here........



from the above diagram, it can be seen very clearly how members of both sexes view sex and their significant others.........

read from some where that one party (cant remember which) views emotion as leading to sex while it is vice-versa for the other party........

so reading from the diagram, the first equation states that given event S has happened, the probability of event L occurring is defined as the intersection btwn L and S divided by S

the second equation is conversely similar.

the study engine's starting up......im feeling it.........i think........at least i thought i felt a splutter
