Singapore National Excuses

1.NATIONAL EXCUSE FOR HAIR LOSS: Maggi Mee.
2. NATIONAL EXCUSE FOR BEING LATE: Traffic Jam.
3. NATIONAL CONDOM: None. Most Asians still feel embarrassed buying condoms. So they rush into a Seven-Eleven, grab the nearest pack, any brand also can, pay and leave before the cashier can even blink an eye
4. NATIONAL FRUIT FOR INDUCING MENSTRUATION: Pineapple
5. NATIONAL APHRODISIAC DRINK: Stout. Many swear by it. But after a few pints, they start swearing at everything...
6. NATIONAL FAKE ILLNESS FOR GETTING MC (MEN): Food Poisoning.
7. NATIONAL FAKE ILLNESS FOR GETTING MC (WOMEN): Menstrual Pain.
8. NATIONAL EXCUSES GIVEN BY WOMEN WHEN REFUSING SEX: Headache, kids not asleep, maid not asleep, mother-in-law around, got early appointment, food not digested yet, aircon not cold enough, aircon too cold, nail polish not dried yet, forgot to take the pill, sleepy, stomach cramps, period, haven't remove make-up, haven't shower, no water supply, going to watch "Santa Barbara", depressed, no mood, etc.
9. NATIONAL EXCUSES GIVEN BY MEN WHEN REFUSING SEX: None. Asian men never refuse sex.
10. NATIONAL CURE FOR HEADACHES: Panadol. The "cure for all". If it fails, we have another secret weapon.....Tiger Balm.
11. NATIONAL CURE FOR DIZZINESS: Minyak Angin Cap Kapak (Axe oil).
12. NATIONAL CAUSE OF DIZZINESS (FOR YUPPIES): Happy Hours.
13. NATIONAL INSTANT CURE FOR DIZZINESS (FOR YUPPIES): The sight of a police road block.
14. NATIONAL RUBBISH DUMP: Anywhere. As long as it is not your house.
15. NATIONAL MOST MIS-PRONOUNCED NAME: Carrefour. Sometimes even pronounced as Carry 4! On second thought, why bother pronouncing Peugeot, Renault or Citroen correctly. I think it sounds better, when the local mechanics say "Pew Jeot". When I was in school, Milo was always Mee Lo, now that I'm sophisticated, I say "My Lo". So don't be embarrassed saying "Carry 4" when the Mat Sallehs shamelessly pronounce orang utan as "rangutan".
16. NATIONAL ROADSIDE DISTRACTION: The Bra-less Tourists. See how heads turn and traffic slows down or causes even tailback car accidents when a bra-less Mat Salleh backpacker goes bouncing about on the streets

Well well... here's another secret message known only to me... LOL

Chemical X

That drink you gave me...
though a sip...
what was inside?
that purple liquid...
it was then i noticed an empty little bottle on the floor...
the label read...
"Love Potion No. 9 - Use With Caution"

God's Embrace...

I have no religion... I have no god...
I believe in myself... my eyes... and science...

i was once a christian...
long long time ago...
my aunt is christian... so i joined in... when she looked after me...
after we separated... so did god...

god had tried all means to get me back into his arms...
but to no avail...
i simply wouldn't budge...
gathered the forces of family and friends to aid him in getting me back...
i was just too far away for him...

over the years... god had become clever over time...
thinking of new ways to get me back...
now... he made use of her...

Dilemma...

Life's taken a turn for the better...

Somehow... i can feel it...
the roller coaster is starting it's ascent...
the flower of hope is blooming ever so beautifully...
i shall water it with care and love every single dae...
i shall not let it wilt...
i shall not destroy hope...

WOW!!!
i am so not used to it...
he came at 12pm... no noise from him till debrief... still no sound...
impressive...
never knew such a dae exists...

maybe it's becoz there were too many chefs in kitchen todae... so radio switched to mute...
maybe it's becoz got sore throat or watever... so radio no battery...
or MAYBE... radio changed for the better... decided to switch to classical music... (which i doubt so... LOL...)
but watever it is...
it's a rare sight...
not a sight to be seen every dae...
i'm totally not used to seeing him so quiet...
wanted to go disturb him... see if he got make any noise or not...

Indian Cheese : "next time u must tell us mah... menu also never say no pork no lard..."
(den andrew came in to join the conversation...)

He who conceals his power well... Unleashes out the ultimate power in critical conditions...

Arrrggghh!!! HEADACHE!!!

just got a throbbing headache... owww........
dunno wat happened... maybe weather too hot recently... -_-
anyway... juz took a couple of panadol tablets...
should be feeling a bit ok in a while's time...

my life's going up and down... up and down...
now it's coming to a standstill...
i feel neutral now...

time heals all wounds...
he who controls time... controls the universe...
(haiz... how i wish i could control time...)

the longer i look at the pink flower bud...
the prettier it gets...
perhaps... hope... is prettier than what i've imagined...
though i noticed... due to the harsh conditions of the desert...
it had lost a petal or two... a bit of bruises here and there...
it is still pretty...

Nothing is Perfect in this World

Hope

What is that little pink thing on the patch of grass in the middle of the desert?
i knelt down beside it... took a closer look...

it's a pretty little flower...
not exactly a flower though...
a little pink flower bud...
wondering to myself... how can such a delicate life survive in such harsh conditions?
surviving in the middle of the scorching desert?

on closer examination...
i seem to have seen it before... somewhere...
somehow... i remember the name of this little bud...
it's called...
the flower of hope...

Serenity...

After the long awaited message...
i finally got it...
it is not wat i wanted...
but somehow... i predicted it... and it DID came true...

though bad news for me...
somehow... i feel calm... peaceful... relaxed...
suddenly... the roller coaster seem to have stopped it's descent...

maybe because...
my heart is slowly... petrifying...

Warning... Low Power...

Many things have happened...
there are a lot of things going on in my mind...

i'm very tired...
mentally tired...
and physically tired...
i feel like i'm gonna collapse anytime soon...

btw... i'm currently studying full time in SHATEC
working in rosette for outlet attachment...
AND... working part time in Palm Beach Seafood Restaurant...
y am i tired?... this is an example of my schedule:

Mondae - Fridae : Rosette
Saturdae : (Morning)Rosette , (Afternoon)Palm Beach
Sundae : Palm Beach

and imagine this carries on for a few weeks...
i haven't had a good rest for abt a mth already...
i'm very exhausted... :(
plus all the problems i'm facing now...
i think i'll die anytime soon...

Perhaps... That's for the best...

I'm dying...

My happiness was short lived...

Apprently... it seems like...
i've boarded a roller coaster to hell...
the tracks are going down at accelerating speeds...
when will the tracks come back up again?
or will it go straight to hell... and never come back up again?

*Hey... Look on the bright side... The longer the drop... The greater the inertia... The higher you will rise when the roller coaster is going back up again...




Optimism?
I don't know...

Secret Message

Recently... there have been many thoughts going through my mind...
and the biggest one is this:

(SECRET MESSAGE REMOVED)

(I've decided to keep it a secret in me forever...)

.

.

If I were you... I would be able to solve this with breeze...

(Of course I would... Becoz only I know the meaning of this...)

I've reached rock bottom...

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

i've climbed this mountain...
halfway up...
almost reaching...
a huge stone fell on my head...
and i fell right down to the bottom...

my life is in shambles...

HOW WORSE CAN MY LIFE GET???!!!

I will not let you defeat me...

I will climb up this mountain again...

This time... I make sure I reach the peak...

I will... Survive...

About Me

This is a little something about me...
what i feel... about me...
(it may not be totally true... you'll have to know me to find out)

I feel...

I'm a person with a special gift...
i have a highly intelligent brain... with an IQ of 135
(may not be a lot... but definately higher than average...)

that makes me a very complex person...
not easily deciphered by the normal homo sapiens...
you might have noticed... by reading my posts...
many will not understand...
but all my posts have a meaning...
have something to say abt me... and how i feel...

something i don't like about my personality...
is that...
somehow...
i can sense people's feelings...
by interacting with them...
by looking at their expressions...
sometimes... i can feel that people are unhappy with me...
which makes me very upset... very unhappy...

which may not be a bad thing totally...
by being able to sense...
i know when to do what on different situations...

my brain is filled with secrets...
left to be discovered by only the most trusted...
it is not easy to understand me...
and know what is going on in my mind...



He who knows me well will be able to decipher every single thoughts and posts in this blog...

Fear

Fear resides...
Diablo - The Lord of Terror
summoning his minions to inflict fear...

how do you combat fear?
how do you ward off fear?

fighting... struggling... to escape fear's wrath
with every passing minute...
every passing second...
i must survive...
i shall not succumb...
i will never give up...



what if......
fear wins?......

Light

I'm starting to see light... in this darkness forsaken land...
a faint light... there... in the distance...
wondering to myself...
where will this light lead me to?

i'll move towards it...
be it good or bad...
there is a slight chance...
it beats sitting here... waiting for a brighter light...
what if... this is the only light i'll ever get to see... ever again?

i'm starting to feel happy...

Happiness

For the past month... i have never been truly happy...
much have happened... many have passed...
will i gain true happiness in months to come?
will i be able to find the light in the midst of darkness?
even if it is just a faint, weak light?

what is happiness?
what is true happiness?
what is eternal happiness?

i can only hope...
