Haha.

Friday

Met a friend for dinner last night.

She said I looked depressed.

And that I put on weight.

Sigh...

Theory

Ai mai suah

If you don't want, then I don't either.

*sizzle*

Comes up and bites you in the a**

Just when I thought I could forget, I get reminded again.

My mom asked me to configure her phone last night. Sigh...

Pillow Talk

When I was a child, I used to cover both my ears with my pillows whenever I was scared. Be it thunder, mommy scolding me for not packing my bags for school, or if I had exams the next day. I'll do it cos it shuts off the noise from the world, the hum of the air-conditioner, the chatter from the tv...

I realised that over the past nights, I've been subconciously doing it again.

Weird. Heh.

*sizzle*

Remaking Singapore

Germany has Mercedes Benz, Sweden has Volvo, Switzerland has Nestle, UK has Cadbury Schwepps, US has Microsoft, Japan has a whole pop culture they are exporting by the container load.

What does Singapore have?

Creative is in the doldrums and honestly, Enzer and Akira are not meant for First World Markets.

I work in a firm who helps SMEs who want to grow to become MNCs. We do this through raising funds, restructuring, M+As...

I think the need is imminent. Singapore has always been portrayed as a 'cheaper' location for quality manufacturing. But once the rising Asian tide of India and China catch up, all of us will be out of a job.

So, we can either create a globally recognised brand to export, or move into something we are already good at.

Like trading and brokering. Having said that, I've been meeting a lot of them in recent times. Brokering everything from petro-chemicals to ships to container space to commodities. We should capitalise on that because it is a service industry based on global needs and is hence eternal (until the next recession).

We really need to remake Singapore, or...

Back to the Regular Program x2

Quote from a friend "For her I will turn lesbian" *snigger*

Thoughts

It's will be the 1st year anniversary of its death soon. I cannot help thinking about. It.

Wonder if its the same on the other side?

Back, to the regular scheduled program.

Another "Survey"

7 Occasions & Locations...*Rolls eyes*

1. If given a choice to decide your birth, where would you choose?
I would loved to have been born in the UK. Though its not as "safe" as Singapore, its not as sanitised either. Its rich culture, balance of arts and science might have made me a more rounded person.

2. If given a choice to meet your first friend, who will be with you for a lifetime, where will it be?
It would in kindergarden, or anywhere else as soon as possible. If its a really close friend, then we should meet as early as we can right?

3. If there's a flight accident and you end up lost somewhere, at the end of the day, where do you hope you are at?
A white sand beach, lined with fruit trees and inhabited by stupid animals (easier to trap).

4. Where did you hope to have met your first love?
In University, and I did. =(

5. Where would you want to have your wedding?
Anywhere. The location is not the priority if 'she' is there. It just shouldn't be the circus we as Singaporeans know as a wedding - the early morning wake up, rushing around from place to place, a wedding dinner with 800 of my 'closest' friends that I don't know.

6. Where do you hope to enjoy your life when you've retired?
I agree with Chris, somewhere in the country, but an hour from a big city. So, somewhere like Tuscany?

7. Everyone will die sooner or later. If given a choice to decide your deathplace, where will it be?
On land. Funerals are for the living, so I can imagine the pain of losing a loved one at sea, or just lost. I think the act of burial/cremation is a form of closure for the ones alive, and so I really pity those families who have lost their loved ones in air crashes, at sea... The hope they cling on to that the deceased may still be alive would not allow them to move on.

Lynn Chen from the movie. Hubba hubba.

Saving Face

If you are can only watch one movie this week, watch Saving Face. I caught it last nite and its a brilliant movie, filled with a strong storyline, excellant acting and beautiful leads.

Empty

On nights like this, I think about the frenzied but empty life I am leading...

BO

What they say is true.

People with Body Odours cannot smell it themselves.

Take a shower or use deodearant for crying out loud!

P.S.> Hey people, you must let me know if I smell bad yah?

Grouch

I suppose everyone who has to go into work today must be feeling damn grouchy. This break-work-break-work routine is damn bad for morale lah.

Stupid

I think Singaporeans (and yes I do possess a pink I/C) are a damn stupid bunch.

On one hand we complain that Singapore is too legislated a country. Too controlled. Stifles creativity. Big Brother is always watching...

On the other hand, we have idiots who call to legislate more shite. Things like High Intensity Discharge lamps, rude shoppers, handicapped toilet abusers... Why can't we, as a 'civilised' society take things into our own hands and just control ourselves based on our consciences, values or moral standards?

Stop spitting on the road not because you might get slapped with a $500 fine. Stop spitting because you hate stepping onto spit (and risk slipping and breaking your head) and so control yourself so that no one steps onto yours.

Don't do unto others, what you do not want others to do to you.

Why can't Singaporeans understand such a simple principle? Or are we too Asian still? Asians who live in a selfish, dog-eat-dog society, driven by self-preservation and ignorance of the world around us?

Stupid.

Heatiness makes your phelgm very sticky, and chokes up all the pipes.

Heatiness makes everything you eat jelat.

Heatiness makes you damn f@$%ing randy.

Time for liang teh. Or beer.

Update 1718hrs: I need a farking injection of ice into my veins.

Happy Holidays

Over the extended weekend, I had an epiphany.

The Past Should Stay in the Past. Its better that way if I want to be happy now.

Cut.
