I hate car accidents. In Singapore, there is a standard operating system during such an unfortunate event. So imagine in a two-car accident, the car behind (Car B) knocked into the one in front (Car A). The SOP goes as such:

1. Passenger from car B gets out of his vehicle and inspects the bump, with a look of confusion and guilt and his face. Sometimes even with his arms on his hips to add to the effect. In his mind - shit, there goes my NCB.
2. passenger from car A, righteously gets out of his car, and ask “why you turn like this, why you drive like that” with much anger and folded arms. Please bear in mind that when accidents do happen, both parties are at fault. But passenger A wins in fortitude because according to traffic rules, the bumper always lose to the one who got bumped.  

Well, if you think about it, that’s pretty stupid. I mean there are so many ways in which accidents occur. If only there are surveillance cameras built everywhere on the road and able to slow-mo every single detail like a football match, then maybe that would be fairer. Sure, one must be able to react fast to the situation. But usually the car in front is acting fast to a situation and in turn, the car at the back has to act faster than the one acting fast. That is only probable in the Matrix. Hell, google human reaction time and do the math. You know that is not humanly possible. Needless to say, if you’re unlucky enough to be the third or fourth driver on the line. 

So here’s a little food for though to all drivers, try not to act some high and mighty the next time someone bump into you. That fellow is probably guilt-ridden and financially burdened enough already. give him a break and save all the confronting agony. Be nice. 

I wanna do a little movie review here if you don’t mind. The shock labyrinth is probably the worst horror/3D film ever made. Do not ever watch it. Not terrifying at all and coupled with a lousy plot. Wasted my $14. Wall Street on the other hand was alright. Good if you have nothing to do and just want to catch something decent. To give you a brief sense of what it’s like.. think 21. Except in this movie, it plays with stocks rather than cards. I could really use a good movie right now, doubt there’s any. Hell, I might even watch Charlie St Cloud just to feel cheesy for a while. 

Some days I just want to plug in my ipod and watch the world go by. But we often do not have that kinda luxury. A pity.

I should really try and like school. Like try and like going to school even. Sometimes feel that it is a chore to wake up and go to lectures that do not even mean a thing to you. 

I need to get out of this dejected mood i’ve been feeling. Thank god for this awesome song below that helped a bit..

Here we go. Hello monday! I hope it will be a good week for everyone.

Cheers!

Relationships are like an everlasting avalanche. It just keeps slipping and you will never be sure where you wanna be or where you wanna end up in. To those who think you have found the right one, don’t be fooled. Don’t be surprised when you hit a dead end, thinking you’re heading for neverland.

I hadn’t been well for two days ever since i came back from my trip. hopefully i didn’t catch any virus on my way back. that would be f up. 

okay i have decided to buy a new phone but just can’t decide. iphone 4 or bb? in the words of peter chao (one of the funniest vids i subscribe to), you can do everything in i4 on a jailbroken i3gs. which is perfectly true lol. can’t decide oh my. i don’t want to end up buying both cos that would just be really whack. as for bb, yeah i could use bbm, but since i’m still a student i’m entitled to unlimited sms so that pretty much defeats the purpose. i don’t have that many friends with bb either. and deeg just lost his (LOL), so that’s (n-1) bb users left. 

just caught episode 2 of gossip girl. i swear shows that depict high life pollute the mind and make you feel insufficient. i should maybe switch to bollywood shows to make myself feel better. for those who have watched it - poor serena i can actually relate her situation now to someone who i know. eat that bitch! you see, some girls should learn to make her decisions and don’t put guys on her noose thinking that she can reel them back in whenever she feels like it. 

to conclude, here’s a chill out song from gossip girl s04e02 which i really dig. 

see you soon.

I seriously think Boyce Avenue only can pull off acoustic versions of Female pop songs. There rest are just crappy but here’s one that stood out and I like the original so I might be biased. 

Back from bangkok, back to reality, back to school. I wish I had the balls to bring back a carton of dfs marlboro black menthol. But nope, I need to grow a pair. Now I’m regretting the act and missing the taste. 

To update, it’s september! US tv series are back! Just caught an episode of Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill. I wonder when are they gonna bring back Lucas and Peyton. I refuse to watch it with ease until I see them. “A letter to lucas” kinda plot ain’t gonna win my heart dear mr mark schwahn. 

Hopefully I’ll be back tomorrow to blog. It’s a long hiatus I know. I doubt anyone visit anymore. It’s okay, I like to spend some time sitting around in an empty haunted house filled with cobwebs and incy wincy spiders telling my sad stories.

Be well everyone.

Play the listen n read the lyrics. Makes so much sense.

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that’s alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that’s alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

I can’t tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now there’s a steel knife
In my windpipe
I can’t breathe
But I still fight
While I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right
It’s like I’m in flight
High of a love
Drunk from the hate
It’s like I’m huffing paint
And I love it the more that I suffer
I sufficate
And right before im about to drown
She resuscitates me
She fucking hates me
And I love it
Wait
Where you going
I’m leaving you
No you ain’t
Come back
We’re running right back
Here we go again
It’s so insane
Cause when it’s going good
It’s going great
I’m Superman
With the wind in his bag
She’s Lois Lane
But when it’s bad
It’s awful
I feel so ashamed
I snap
Who’s that dude
I don’t even know his name
I laid hands on her
I’ll never stoop so low again
I guess I don’t know my own strength

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that’s alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that’s alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

You ever love somebody so much
You can barely breathe
When you’re with them
You meet
And neither one of you
Even know what hit ‘em
Got that warm fuzzy feeling
Yeah them chills
Used to get ‘em
Now you’re getting fucking sick
Of looking at ‘em
You swore you’ve never hit ‘em
Never do nothing to hurt ‘em
Now you’re in each other’s face
Spewing venom
And these words
When you spit ‘em
You push
Pull each other’s hair
Scratch, claw, bit ‘em
Throw ‘em down
Pin ‘em
So lost in the moments
When you’re in ‘em
It’s the rage that took over
It controls you both
So they say it’s best
To go your separate ways
Guess that they don’t know ya
Cause today
That was yesterday
Yesterday is over
It’s a different day
Sound like broken records
Playin’ over
But you promised her
Next time you’ll show restraint
You don’t get another chance
Life is no Nintendo game
But you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave
Out the window
Guess that’s why they call it window pane

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that’s alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that’s alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

Now I know we said things
Did things
That we didn’t mean
And we fall back
Into the same patterns
Same routine
But your temper’s just as bad
As mine is
You’re the same as me
But when it comes to love
You’re just as blinded
Baby please come back
It wasn’t you
Baby it was me
Maybe our relationship
Isn’t as crazy as it seems
Maybe that’s what happens
When a tornado meets a volcano
All I know is
I love you too much
To walk away though
Come inside
Pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Don’t you hear sincerity
In my voice when I talk
Told you this is my fault
Look me in the eyeball
Next time I’m pissed
I’ll aim my fist
At the dry wall
Next time
There will be no next time
I apologize
Even though I know it’s lies
I’m tired of the games
I just want her back
I know I’m a liar
If she ever tries to fucking leave again
I’mma tie her to the bed
And set the house on fire

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that’s alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that’s alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

Okay drinking has its consequences. Especially when it is 7 days straight. Don’t know what got into me, or my mates, but i guess we are not addicted to alcohol but addicted to the idea of partying and drinking.

Now, im down with psychologically tormenting health problems, some imagined, others that i hope aren’t too serious.

Life routine which i must quit:

Work, drink, sleep, work, drink, sleep.

I’m so sick of this reply:

“Not interested.”

I hope i can make it up. I hope its not too late. You know in life there are moments where you just want to just stop thinking, get up on your feet and find who you really want to be with. 

Watch this if you’re reading this.

I always had a strange knack for things that are unusual. Sure, amazing normal stuff still impresses me but weird and bizarre happenings around the world are sure fire for my ears and attention. I started working at HSBC this week and today, I felt incredibly tired. Not sure the exact reason but I guess it is the lack of sleep lately. It is strange how I sleep later during the holidays as compared to school when I have absolutely nothing productive at hand. The primary objective before I came home was to get home as soon as possible and at a lightning fast speed, I was going to hop onto bed and travel to dreamland. That didn’t happen. Instead, as usual, I allowed the MacBook devil to lure me into the gruesome world of the world wide web. The first site, almost every time unless I have more critical things to be done, that I type so subconsciously onto my browser would be YouTube. You know how youtube has this function where they recommend you videos to watch? That function, my friend, is the devil’s pie. Oh, it looks so cute and innocent, even helpful and convenient. Without much effort, you would be spending a large amount of time watching videos that doesn’t even concern you. Today, this particular video grabbed me by my balls and got my full attention.

Modernity and Technology meet Tradition and Nature. This is a perfect visual and audio example of a paradox. I mean look, an ordinary video talking about gardening and even singing praises of God is filmed and edited at such great length (awesome videography btw) and mixed into a trance. It speaks of messages even deeper than religion. Somehow, this video got to me, not just because of the rhythmic tunes, but because of the message it conveys. Perhaps, a deeper meaning is not intended. That just makes it twice as awesome and intellectual for me. And I daresay it is not a mere fragment of my imagination. 

So yes, this video led to view more videos from this person and eventually led me to his website and me googling hours just to see if this dude is perhaps famous for anything else. That seems to be the convention for me these days. Googling just to see if I miss out anything. It’s like - oh, this is great, but I just want to see if he has anything better. Humans are uncontended bastards. 

Sometimes I feel that Singapore is a little too boring for its own good. I mean look, if I were to say “let’s go do something FUN” it would mean the same thing over and over and over again. 

Fun in Singapore = Getting overpriced drinks (for the party crazy), Paying overpriced tickets (for the romantic), Paying an overpriced tax (for the gamblers)

Sure, you could go to a library to read a book or sit at starbucks with friends or even some posh coffee place, but that’s more like chilled out rather than fun. I want to do something crazy. Go wild just for a bit. Not drinking and puking or hooking up girls, that’s not fun anymore. I want to take crazy ass rides, not the sassy universal studios golf carts. Or maybe have coffee over some awesome sights or under night lights. No, you can’t have that in Singapore. What’s worse is that I don’t even wanna think about what I should I do that would be fun in Singapore. I mean having to think and plan out everything before you can have fun is pathetic. The best experience is the one that comes out from a dark corner and takes you by the throat and say “You didn’t see this one coming, did you?!”

Nope. Singapore, no chance in hell.

Like for example, this carribean bay place looks so fun! Apart from the hot chicks of course, which is pure exaggeration though i’m not denying the fact that yuri is hot.

life took a turn and it finally became normal. before i go any further, i just want to recommend everyone to watch glee and discourage everyone to watch robin hood. go away skeptic, it might look/feel like high school musical but it is definitely less cheezy and less lame. the soundtrack is too darn good with awesome covers, my favourites being defying gravity and i’ll stand by you. the ost is on itunes volumes 1-3 and i had been looping it on my itunes, my ipod and even speakers when i sleep ever since. it is rather refreshing to watch and especially when you had a rough day and just want to feel good about things in general. 

robin hood on the other hand, is a little off. imagine a movie with rush hour kind of fighting scenes mixed with lord of the rings’ scenes, soundtrack and length, and with a little pinch of shrek’s humour. didn’t really like it, almost fell asleep. 

next, wonder girls return with a new track! and as usual, made into 3 languages. and jyp’s mandarin sucks. as much as i love wonder girls, the new song was a little weird for me. then again, it would probably be so over played it becomes good. gone were the days when “tell me” and “so hot” were the only songs we listened to and no one else did. and i have to say this, i dislike wonder girls without sunmi =(

I can’t decide - should my summer job be one of experience or one that pays? One that would look good in my resume but pays peanuts or one that is average but pays well. 

onto a sad sad piece of news, I apologise for my disappearance for i was busy visiting my grandma in the hospital and now, attending the wake. In loving memory of Grandma..

finally got home today and my agenda previously was to catch up on my sleep which i really lack. but the best invention since the light bulb - youtube- never cease to amaze me. i spent 2 hours watching videos back to back and now i’m really shag. the best one i would like to share today comes from britain’s got talent 2010. i’ll be looking out for this dude. simply brilliant.

alrighty then.

be back real soon
