Encounters with the Third Kind

this jus in.......

i think we are a boring planet. bcos for each species of organism, we only have 2 types - male and female.

in fact, everything we do seems to be defined under either 1 of 2 things be it good/bad, male/female, 0/1, yes/no, true/false, fast/slow, etc, etc.

of course im not too sure wat the third kind would be like. i wouldnt have the foggiest either. it could be something in btwn 2 types or something that's totally different. which leads me to......

so what would a third sex be like? and in tech speak, how do we interface with them? or do we at all? bcos if we don't, how do they procreate? maybe that's y they aren't ard~! eureka~!

looks like we aren't that boring after all. =D

Slobber

for the record, i think the song "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" screams deprived childhood. mommy that is, not the poor kid singing the song.

reason for my saying so, why in the first place would mommy wanna kiss santa claus? cos she has a thing for fat hairy men in red suits? or maybe paternal transference? sure, they did it under the mistletoe, but heck, a woman would have some reason to even take action on the thought. which brings me to the deprived childhood bit.

having not seen santa as a kid, mommy finally gets to see him in the flesh, so she feels drawn to him. and being a grown woman now, her feelings manifest as urges and desires that she feels compelled to act upon.

if nobody's catching my drift yet........there's more to prove my point.

if any1 has heard the song and listened to the lyrics he/she would have heard the lines
"I saw mommy tickle santa claus. Underneath his beard so snowy white."

tickle?!?! why would she want to do that?!?!?! not to forget, i think santa has quite a huge, long beard. there's a large area to tickle inclusive of that beer belly of his and i highly doubt she's tickling that. his chin? non existent. he has a beard for god's sake, what chin?!?!

and

"What a laugh it would have been, if Daddy had only seen, Mommy kissing santa claus last night."

a few things here.
1. poor kid. obviously nobody's explained to him/her that mommy snogging a fat man aint funny to daddy.
2. the kid hasnt reached puberty
3. if the kid thought that it would be funny for daddy to see mommy kissing santa, then they were doing some pretty heavy stuff. im talking tongue action pple.

not to forget,

"She didn't see me creep, down the stairs to have a peep."

they mus have made a fair amount of noise. really.

hope i haven spoilt the song for any1 yet. MERRY XMAS once again pple.

Change

ive come to the conclusion, based on my own observations and experience, that for quite a few of us, the biggest challenge we face in life is to grapple with change. be it change in work, play, relationships or anything for that matter. and we seem to be continuously and repeatedly chasing for a form of stability.

im gonna make some remarks of a religious nature that i do not mean in a negative way, so pls, if any1 begs to differ, by all means go ahead, but dun take it in a bad light and come after me saying im spouting blasphemy.

the thing i notice abt alot of religions, after having heard some frens and family recount the values and teachings they have learnt, is that there is always the promise of attaining something like 'nirvana' or 'being saved'. basically, to me, it sounds like it is reaching a point where u are totally rid of 'bad'.

im a free thinker, so i dun subject myself to any way of thought or belief. but it does seem to me that religion, be it islam, christianity, buddhism are all jus........life coaching courses? a way of thought and teaching that guides a follower thru managing change.

whether there is one better than the other or truer than the other is really debatable to me. i jus believe we always find the methods most appropriate for ourselves, the ones we can relate to most. as of now, at 25yrs of age, i do not seem to see a need to follow any religion to be able to find answers i need to manage the changes in my life.

ultimately, i subscribe to the fact that change is the only constant, cliched as it is.

had breakfast with V this morning and relating with his experiences with those of my own during our catch up only confirms my observations that change is something that we have to deal with through our lives. and often, our first reactions are to resist transitions/changes. anything that is unknown, new, out of the blue or at first seemingly negative is regarded with unhappiness and resentment. which is then followed by low morale and the lack of spirit.

and that is something that no one likes or every1 tries to avoid. though it is not itself an entirely bad thing either as long as it is not prolonged.

gonna end this post abruptly cos im supposed to be rushing on something and as much as i like writing essays or debating stuff, i sometimes do not have the patience or time to do it tho it is more of the latter now.

till the next post.

in case i do not post till after xmas, MERRY XMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR PPLE~!

Sleepless in Seattle

im supposed to be asleep, but.....i decided to stay up and watch the 2006 victoria's secret fashion show.

bad choice.

i believe im in love amongst other things.

Zzzzzz

it's 1am and im just gonna put this down before i get to sleep. it's something that's been bugging me the whole day.

how in the world did "no" end up being the acronym for "number"? or actually, i wouldnt really count "no" as an acronym.

time to sleep~ goodie~

Sebana Cove

blogging on location at Sebana Cove, Kota Tinggi, Johor Malaysia. im on a company retreat actually, not a holiday. i guess a retreat could be considered a holiday with synergy sessions and workshops/meetings tho.

so work's piling up. seems like ive been saying that every post lately. apologies for my metamorphosis into the zombified worker singaporean. but work really is piling with a capital P. im actually supposed to be working on something right now but chose to take some down time to post an update for those who still read my blog. considering how little chances i get to meet up with frens nowadays, this blog helps to let those who read it know that im still alive.

i would like to mention tho that, it is possible that when i finally do kick the bucket, i might not stop posting either. fingers never stop typing.

speaking of which, i think ive mentioned this earlier but heck...........if i ever had the choice of how i do kick the bucket, i would choose it to be swift. im not particular abt the pain. a heart attack or massive stroke would suffice. reason being my not wanting to live immobilized in a hospital bed eating hospital food that i cannot choose. i don't mind the food really, i jus want to have a choice. i jus don't want to be stuck in a position where i cannot choose to eat the food i love. i wanna go to my grave eating and enjoying the best that the culinary world has to offer. i was born with a good stomach, im jolly well gonna use it.

so back to being in sebana cove.

the place is really a retreat. save for a bunch of buddhists and my company staff, there isnt any1 else here. the buddhists are kinda using the place to do their meditation thingy. they walk while meditating it seems. they walk real slow around certain areas of the lobby/reception area.

when i did a read up on the resort, it seemed to be a boring place. i did not expect it to be this boring, complete with meditating buddhists and all.

the place is really suited for those who really want some downtime. time really stands still here. jus ask the buddhists.

heading back to sg 2mrw afternoon and possibly a trip down to MOS with frens. kandi bar is now open too. hopefully we'll get the chance to visit the place as well. i guess i should enjoy myself more this wkend, cos come monday, things at work will be quite a rush. the good thing tho, is that this is the month of december. and im typically in a better mood during this time of year regardless of event.

perhaps it's the cooler weather or the festive spirit, the november/december mths are my favourite in the year.

time for me to go sit in the balcony, enjoy my ice cold bottle of hoegaarden and enjoy my movie sequence evening. till the next post pple.
