California here we come, right back where we started from

Scratched my mum's car durin the course of the weekend but luckily she didn't make a deal outta it. Stupid mistake as joe can attest to that. #$^%^&*(0

O.C!!!!!!! My obsession wit the series recently has run so deep its scarin even myself. Clocked in episode 12-15 on sat night, only turnin in at 6 cause I didn't wanna attempt fallin asleep with the sun in the midst of rising. Jus last night, finished with the remainding episodes (up till 20) and den realised I was craving fer more even though it was already 540!!!! The freakin show is so addictive and now that I've caught up wit the american viewers I'm sufferin frm withdrawal symptoms. Man oh man, I can't wait fer friday when ep.21 will be out. *spoiler alert(continue to the next paragraph if you dun wanna know about this delectable snippet of a series update) Ryan and Marissa finally get back together after numerous agonizing episodes of close calls all thanks to those shrewed script writers in LA LA land. Den again it'll take sometime fer channel 5 to get there seein that they're only at episode 4. 16 week countdown, ho sei liao! Thank god fer bittorrent and of course, keef.

Jus realised the pore pack has been on my nose fer the past 20 mins..... Had to re-douse it wit water to remove it, ruinin it in the process. What a serious waste of my time!

yes way

I've always wanted to watch the movie "Sideways" but never got down to doin so. Remember when it first came out in the cinemas, it was touted as the hottest idie film of the year, alas for some reason, I missed the boat and passed on a potentially enjoyable cineamitc experience. And so it came to be that the said movie was nominated fer quite a number of Oscars and yet again my interest was renewed. Chieh happened to have the dvd fer it and much as I wanted to borrow it, he hadn't watched it himself and wanted to do so before goin into camp. Yup, yet another missed opportunity. In the end, I really have all this free time to thank as while slackin about the house today, recollections of past failures surfaced and I actually got down to downloadin the freakin movie.

After all the trouble I went through, it was well worth it as I can safely say that it is and will be THE best movie of this year. Yeah yeah, I know, Star Wars Ep. 3, The interpreter, Mr and Mrs Smith, yadda yadda yadda. All blockbusters in their own right thats comin out this year but I dun care, I'm stickin with my view that "Sideways" wins hands down. Sure, you wun recognise the actors, but what its lackin in star power it makes up for in its absofuckinlutely killer of a script. And dare I add, its really one of the funniest movies around without resorting to mindless humour and is actually relatable to real life. Van wilder and Sex is Zero are hilarious but c'mon, reel life to real life, no way....

I dunnoe, the movie jus draws you in and makes you feel really at home sans the predictability, of which I'm really grateful for as its jus no fun being able to figure out what happens next in a movie. Trust me, go watch it if you haven't already done so. Oh and welcome in advance.

keef likes beef and blows a leef for he is keef

Met up wit joe and keef a couple of times this week and there were occurrences of countless of classic moments. One such moment was while we were having dessert at Big O.

Keef: Hopefully my parents let me drive the car on my own soon.
Myself: Yeah and soon meaning when you're 21 years old???
Keef: Around there I guess.
Joe and I: ROFL!!!
Though keef maintained he meant that as a joke, we still dun belive ya keef. Oh and all the time while downing our mudslides, joe and keef kept tellin me to go 8 o'clock cause there was this girl who really really looked like the hunchback of notre dame. Try as I did I could not spot her but I'm pretty sure after all the repeated attempts, she kinda caught onto what we were doin. 19 and still gettin into this sorta shit.....

Another classic moment took place yesterday while we were at sakae fer the buffet. The computer monitor with the menu had a screensaver that showcased their outlets all over Asia shld there be no activity of the mouse for a period of time. Jus so happened I wanted to show the both of em some interesting fact in one picture and thus we stared intently at the monitor like idiots waiting fer the particular picture to reappear. We had been waiting fer sometime when suddenly keef decided that he shld stretch his arms and by doin so it meant his arms hittin some object which then moved the mouse. So you could imagine joe and I eyeing the monitor like hawks stalkin their prey when the menu suddenly reappeared, all thanks to our dear keef. So it was that that we had to repeat the whole process to eventually get to my fun fact. Thanks keef.

Havin revealed some interesting snippets of keef's life, I have to maintain that hes still a damn nice guy, cause keef chee burns the whole of the oc season 2 on dvd fer lewis to watch. On top of that he bruns jap anime and shows like smallville and joey also. So you see, keef is an important man whom I shall not risk further antagonizing, at least until before the oc ends. =)

Unagi anyone?

"Men have a kind of eel on them. This eel spends its entire life looking for a home,and what do you think women have inside them? Caves, where the eel likes to live. When eels find a cave they like, they wriggle around inside it for a while to be sure that... well, to be sure its a nice cave. And when they make up their minds that it's comfortable, they mark the cave as their territory... by spitting" now parents, thats how you tell it to your kids, you dig? Thanks to "Memoirs of a Geisha" fer the valuable input.

Bling bling, benzs and hummers, 21 inch giovanni rims and cristal, now what comes to mind? Certainly, for me Hip Hop is the name of the game, but whilst I enjoy the music there are elements of this culture that leaves much to be desired. Jus last night, MTV was doin a program on 50Cent and he had this humongous ring filled with diamonds that I'm sure would've out blinged every single hip hop artist. Why the ring? Like I've said to out bling others, he likes it that way or cause he jus has too much money to spend?

Almost every single hip hop artiste started out from obscurity while battling it out in some tough neighbourhood. Havin cut an album and makin it in life, all of a sudden you get these people rappin and singin bout flashy cars, bling bling and parties with the chicks. So not only will you hear bout such lifestyles, you'll also see these people living it, as evident on the program on MTV last night. This ridiculous amount of flashiness may seem like a novelty but personally, I feel that it all boils down to an inferiority complex.

With their ancestors as slaves and them being known as "second class" citizens, certainly "black" people have much to prove. By wearing those spinnin diamond necklaces and driving a lambo with oversized "shoes", its the artists' way of tellin the world hes made it as a black person. You dun see britney spears all decked out in diamonds from head to toe do you?

No other music genre comes close to hip hop in the business of showing off and its no conicidence that hip hop is domintaed by "black" people. You may choose to see it as part of the culture of hip hop but its really been taken to such a level so much so that I can't help but see them as tryin too hard to prove themselves.

Watch out McDonalds

I've been addicted to cookin shows fer some time now and Discovery Travel and Living channel has been the fuel for this addiction. My personal fav is Jamie Oliver and be it "Puka Tuka" or "Oliver's Tales" I simply dun miss an episode. Despite my love fer cooking shows, there are programs which I absulutely abhor, mainly any show helmed by Martin Yan! His accent is so fuckin irritating but thats not the worse thing about his show, the honour belongs to how he counts along with every single slice he makes with that bloody knife of his. One more thing, if you notice carefully, he'll throw in ingredients impromptu jus cause he likes the look of things so I highly suspect certain dishes are inedible. Now you know the reason why he speaks so fast, he's hopin you wun be able to catch up and thus give up on takin notes and actually tryin out his recipe cause its really inedible...

Ok nuff bout Martin, dun want my appetite affected. More on Jamie, where one of the recent episodes saw him makin burgers fer him and his mate. Those burgers looked especially good and it really made me want to try out the recipe. Sooo after days of indecisiveness, I finally got down to actually makin em today!

Went down to cold storage and after blazing through the aisles like a seasoned pro, all the ingredients were in the basket. Headed to the cashier and whilst my mum did give me money to pay fer the stuff, I, being the nice guy that I'm *ahem coughed out the money from my own pocket. Fer the record, the bill came up to 70 bucks partly cause I went fer the most expensive option fer every single ingredient, heh. $8 on sea salt, when the economical choice would've set me back 35 cents.

Upon reaching home, I asked the maid to take out the blender and as fate would have it, it was no where to be found. How a blender disappears into thin air I have no idea, but my mum came to the rescue and gave me money to buy a new one. Yesh, headed out yet again to purchase a blender and had an encounter with a FUCKER(unfortunately I fergot to take down his license plate no., so that I can piss on his wheels if I ever see his car again), who die die also didn't wanna give way to me on the way back. Later, intentionally not lettin him into my lane causing him to miss his turnin, saw that revenge was sweet, Ahhhhhh.

A sign that you've been driving too often is when the sucurity guard lifts the barrier fer you when you havent even turned into the condo yet cause he recognises your car. Yes, I've been gettin ample practice.

After all that trouble, I could finally get down to makin those burgers and havin formed all the patties and leaving em in the fridge, I realised I fergot to add the ingredient at the very top of the list, sea salt. Hur hur, I really enjoyed mixing all the formed patties together jus so I could add salt and den reform em again. Fuckin fun I tell ya...........

The burgers turned out well enough but t'was a pity I didnt make fries from scratch cause I was too lazy to. Can't wait to dabble with my next recipe, "roasted sweet garlic, thyme and mascarpone risotto with toasted almonds and breadcrumbs". Sounds nice, no?

L.O.V.E

What is love? According to either Shakespeare or Paps & Skar, whoever you choose to believe, "love is love". When the greatest playwright in history and a techno song agree, you know its gotta be right.

Now, in the name of love, one will see oneself goin in search for the perfect partner. You'll want to find your soul mate, one whom you can lock gazes with for hours at end and swoon over each other without checkin out the hot chick at the corner of your eye. Thats the easy bit, now try gettin him/her to like you.

Why the fuck is lewis talkin about love? Cause lewis loves to help and today he shall help you fall in love, albit at a small fee. If you're interested jus leave a msg on the tag board and we'll work out the payment details from there.

Apart from helping, I came across a situation last night and saw it fitting that I blog about love today. Have ya'll heard bout the NUS incident?? If ya haven't, todays your lucky day. The lecture was jus about to end and the lecturer suddenly started to talk about a shy guy wanting to give flowers to a girl he likes. But today hes shy no more and wants to actually do it, and an animation starts to play fer the whole lecture theatre to see. T'was of a guy callin out Cuiwen to present her with flowers. Surprise surprise, a guy stood up and went over to Cuiwen to present her with a bouquet of roses amidst the cheering of the lecture theatre. Fairy tale ending? Hell no, the girl accepted the bouquet but apparently after that she was fuming wit anger and was so pissed off wit the fella fer pullin such a stunt. She even considered launching a complaint against the lecturer. Now, shes sorta a mini celebrity, bloggin away about all the unwanted attention.

Told you the hard part was gettin her to like you, but thats not the issue. The girls a real bitch in the way she handled the matter right, but also thats not the issue. My point is that how can such nonsense take place at NUS and they can still expect to be a world class uni. Ok ok, jus kiddin, I really jus wanna bitch bout the girl. But I shan't, no matter how my mouth and fingers are bursting with containment as this site is rated G. Fuck this shit.

"Love is love".... In this case, the emotins the poor fella went through, the alleged shananigan he pulled off, the girl's bitching and anger, its all in the name of love ain't it? The butterflies in your tummy, the death enducing feelings and the incessant need for interaction, its all part of love also. Everything associated with love and things carried out in the name of love, is love. One word to sum it all, what a good deal man. Life sure has been made easier, thanks William.

Whoa

A rainy tuesday, and yet again by the time I woke up it was time fer lunch. I miss havin breakfast.

Sight of the day: Know how bodybuilders are able to flex those pecs of theirs? Make a mental note of that. Movin on, my ass was plonked on the sofa and the tv was tuned to MTV. The program being shown was that of some british rock band on a promotional tour in America and next stop fer the group was the playboy mansion *wolf whistles. They were introduced to ma main man himself, Hugh Hefner, and after that whisked to a party in the mansion itself with in attendance, you guessed it, playmates! Soo nothin unusual bout that cept that the camera soon captured this muscular woman with about the biggest tits in the room. She *my gawd scrunched those huge melons together and den flexed em. The two things soon started bobbing up and down by themselves and you could see the veins poppin outta em!!! If she wasn't careful those things must've burst man. In the end, her glorious talent turned out to be a woeful display of a lack of class. Why dun Singapore have such ppl?!! Tis a sign that perhaps, jus perhaps, theres a lil too much trash on tv these days. But, I'm lovin it!

The above program, on top of providing some entertainment also gave me an idea. The current hot topic is the casino debate and if you ask me, its a total waste of time. I mean look, Vegas is currently No.1 and wit Macau poised to overtake sin city as the No.1 gambler's paradise in the not too distant future, wheres the point in Singapore entering the market? Also, all the hawkers will flock to the casino and where will I den get my fix of required hawker fare?! Lastly, knowing Singaporeans, after losing money, they'll rally fer lower interests and tax rates and den a whole new set of problems will arise.

What den should the government be lookin to you may ask? My answer is a Playboy Mansion! The only mansion right now is in the States so imagine if we build a bigger better one, how many fuckin ppl will come to Singapore cause of it! Whats more, if we use some asian girls, our mansion will have the exotic factor going fer it. With the mansion, we can also contribute to the evocation of womens' rights, as they're now callin to enter the workforce and be accorded more power. The mansion will see tons of job opportunities fer em and making available to them, power over men(think s&m)! Finally, one merit which the mansion offers over that of a casino is that there wun be no issues of ppl going bankrupt. Although there will be hornier guys in society, it certainly beats having ppl that are broke. No money, no honey.

Ey ey, now how about that fer an idea? Hopefully someone raises this point soon and save the government frm makin a mistake.....

ge ge ge geylang

Now that the exams are finally over, I've to contend wit ennui by exploring ways to kill time. Keef, pls finish up wit yo exams so we can start on our golf lessons!

Last night was about the most fun I had since god knows when, and credit goes out to you guys, chieh espcially. The day started out routine enough and all of a sudden, it was 6 0'clock, which meant that I had half an hour to get ready and reach town. I scrambled frantically, and sped down finally reachin at 640 to meet keef and wiggy to buy chieh's prez. What we settled on in the end was something, I dare say no one I know and have ever known has received before. Hence, I will not revel it to keep it that way.

Went back to the carpark to leave the prez in the car and headed down to the Hyatt fer dinner wit the rest. By which time I was already starving and with the constant banter at the table, it took quite sometime fer the waiter to get all our orders down. I must say the food was quite to my liking and the atmosphere at our table even more so. What a meal and at the end, not only was I gastronomically satisfied, I also had so much love in my tummy. Haha that was fuckin gay but fer some reason I felt like bein gay.

Ok, so dinner was good and thanks to chieh, free on my part. =) He was 450 buckaroos poorer though. Nvm, I played my part as chauffeur fer the night and we arrived back at my house. We had initially planned to play board games but ended up watchin soccer and a movie instead. And now that I've got the use of a car, naturally it has to be milked and supper at geylang was next on the cards!

We kinda wandered past quite a few lorongs and passed quite a few chickens and ended at some famous tau huay place. I was skepticle about how diff tau huay could taste but all doubts were erased when I took a sip outta my cup. The food was good too especially the xiao long bao and some pastry with pork floss and egg inside it.

On the way back to the car, I could not help but notice how "hot" the chickens were, espcially the ones from China. How do they even stay in business?!!! My eyes nearly could not take it but it was dark, so the damage wasn't that bad. Anyways, we made our way back to the car and as I was exiting the carpark, I noticed a taxi driver propositioning a prostitute. I could not help but look, being the kaypoh that I'm and not suprisingly, he noticed. At that point, I was half expecting him to either show me the universal sign of "luvvvvv" or appear embarrassed. Instead his expression was so nonchalant that it really struck a chord, also possibly explaining why those disgustingly "cute" chickens are still in business. He didn't care that I was lookin and he certainly didnt care bout her looks, and went straight fer it. C'mon man, hes gotta be so wanting so much so that he'd settle fer her, if not I really dun see why she got the deal. Shes like unfuckable la. If only he applied that insatiable appetite towards gettin rich, den perhaps he wouldn't be a taxi driver and can afford a better tasting chicken. The same goes for all you ti kos roaming the lorongs of Geylang, go do smt about your lives man.

Early in the mornin 4 o'clock.....

Last paper in a few hours time!!!

Been havin problems sleepin the past few days so I've been turning to sleeping pills. The stuff is a godsend, jus dun get addicted though. Anyways, I decided against takin it last night seein that I had to be awake at 5am to do last minute revision. Surprise surprise, I didnt manage to sleep and gave up tryin at 130. Soooo, with yan's words in mind, some revision was attempted and not long after, my sis came out complaining she was hungry. Just so happened that I was craving fer coffee so we drove down to kap and on top of my coffee, bought supper at the same time.

Kinda chatted fer a short while on msn before hitting the books and all in all, consumed 3 cups of the black stuff. Its 430 right now and it still wun stop! Its beyond my control I tell you, the shaking of my leg..... Wtf?!!!!! I should go take my 2.4 now considerin how much my timing will be reduced cause of my present state.

Would ya believe it?!!! I'm feelin hyper at this hour, now who should I call......

4 hours to go till the commencement of my last paper and after that, fer sure I'm comin back home to catch up wit the zzzzzzzzs.
