Lost for thoughts
For a moment, I was really angry.
No, it's not about the participants.
But rather angry with myself.
My failure to brief them properly about safety issues pretty much contributed to the outcome of the event.
So much for Bay Escapade 07...
Even the IC weiyang also felt the event went quite badly...
Imagine the horror I experienced when Gee Yong shouted out "Don't go near the Merlion!!"
For a moment, the "Oh SHIT!" message popped up in my mind..
Sometimes, I just wish someone would be the poor fellow & sacrifice be the example, 杀鸡敬猴 and remind the rest not to go near there.
(There's a suction area under the merlion, just in case u wonder where the fark the water the merlion merlion-ed came from)
Thankfully, there wasn't any injury, serious or minor. (Not that I know of any.)
Else I'll pretty much be screwed. bah.
-Wonder if they had fun...-
1 thing for sure, I'm damn sure Jason had lots of fun
hopping ard kayaks and capsizing them...Bah. No wonder people don't like to organise kayaking events.
Moving & Washing kayaks are more shaggy than kayaking itself.

Felicia Teo Saga...
Remember my
previous post about Felicia Teo, the gal who's been missing since 30th June??
After that
brief uproar about some kiddo's outrageous entry about Felicia Teo & some extremely poor attempt from him to cover up the incident, (DEY! got screenshot leh, spas or what?)
apparently he doesn't learn his mistake. Perhaps he thought he's doing a Star Wars?
"V
oxy-Who? strikes back" - That probably went off in his mind while he gets more warped doing projects.
[Yah...we know... Everyone gets warped doing projects. Even me.]
Shall not say too much to 'glorify' him since he ain't gonna learn his lesson anyway.
Screenshot of his
entry as follows: [JUST IN CASE SOMEONE TRIES TO DELETE AGAIN]
Click on foto to enlarge.
If you read through what he wrote (via his site or the foto), he's being sarcastic about the entire episode of events. Not to mention, trying to sound sympathetic towards Felicia while being outright sarcastic about it.
[P.S. foto better. stop trying to boost his ego by reading his blog]
The most obvious line?
But I’m still waiting for the longest time that I see Felicia on
MSN. It’ll come.
5 days. 5 years. 50 years.
Sometimes, it makes you wonder why the wrong folks always suffer. Bah.
And oh please, stop trying to sound religious and pull Jesus into the picture.

Hopeless Society, Dumb Teens, Needless Cursing, and an Asshat 'top blogger'
There's so much things I wanted to blog about.
Like the Uni-Y Blue Moo session that we had at YMCA's rooftop on Fri nite.
Or that wild bdae celebration of PT & MB on Fri nite as well.
Or that movie review of Jay Chou's Secrets, which I watched with Yvonne on Sat night.
(Now stop being a pussy & be frightened by ghost lah.)
But instead, I decide to talk about something more serious.
Something that's more of a concern. Especially in our society.
Remember
Felicia Teo, the student who was reported lost since 30th June?
The gal whose foto is on flyers and posters all over bus stops and lamp post in town?
I only got to hear about her case recently after the media & blogosphere covered it briefly...
Apparently,
some asshat had to well, BE THE ASSHAT and curse her.
Nadia was the 1st to alert me about it...
Not to mention, the self-proclaimed 'top blogger' started a
round of flaming on a 13-yr old gal who plagiarised his nonsense not too long ago.
Ok, maybe quite long ago.
Generally, I'm not so big on all this flaming issues. What I felt was, it's meant for AA (Attract Attention) folks like XX and co.
But for him to curse the missing gal to drown to death?
That's akin to the case of the secondary school gal who said on her blog that her classmate who drowned in the drain/canal deserved it.
[Anyway that poor idiot got whacked by some other folks from school as well.]
No one deserves to be cursed so badly. Ok, perhaps Bush & Osama may qualify for it.
But I mean, why resort to such verbal abuse on someone (a gal especially) when she's in mishap?
There's something called Karma.
U could possibly end up in the same situation where u need help while hanging for ur life on the edge of a cliff, and some asshat could similarly throw a barrel at you, Donkey Kong style.
Or get run over by a car and the next farker just continue w/o stopping by and help.
[P.S. I ain't cursing U voxy. I'm just generating hypotheoretical scenarios for u.]
In a modern society like Singapore where our papa & grandpa Lee happily shoot the word "civilised" like no one's business, this is certainly not anything near civilisation.
The very last thing we need is for our society (or in fact any) to be cold and uncaring, oblivious & unconcerned with problems faced by others within the society.

thank god for the screenshows Nadnut has.

The Biz Cycle applied to Life
Perhaps after each low, comes new highs.
Just like how after I got the free tixs from MX team for Invisible Target, then random nonsense happens...
And now, free tickets for Rush Hr 3!!! All thanks to Nuffnang!!!
(Ain't I lucky or what?!?!)
-Does that mean I gotta show up as
Hard Soft Gay??-
On a down note, I din manage to bid for Audit.
Someone outbidded me by $0.60, when I bidded like e$50.88. Bah.
Pure madness.
Some idiots just don't understand the meaning of hyper-inflation.
For others, there's always Visa. BAH!!
Oh well...freebies!

The Things I Do For Free Tickets!
Following the email from
Nuffnang regarding the
free tixs for Rush Hour 3 on National Day, I decided to write this
solely not just for the sake of the tix, but to what extent I will go for freebies or even goodies.
Well I mean surely, I've mentioned about queuing for the nice Donuts from Donut Factory for 4~5 hrs for my 2 'short' stints.
But that's just mindless waiting, endless staring, and tiring
one night stand. (They stop making donuts ard 7)
So I guess there has to be a couple of rather more drastic or perhaps even extreme stuff that I'll probably do for free tixs...
So I guess the top 3 things that I'll probably do for free tickets would be...
1) Mindless, braindead queuing...
That's right... Just queue and queue and queue.
Just like how people can camp overnight to queue for Harry Potter's latest book, or to queue for that mouthless Hello Kitty back then.
2) Cross-dressing...
Well it might be abit extreme, but hey! If it makes the others in the queue puke and leave the queue, why NOT?!
Done that before a long long time back when well... police worn shorts. yup.
Besides, if
brother meng can do it, so can
you I wor...
And lastly...
3) Do a Hard Gay!!!
It might look gay and stuff like that but hey, it might just scare off some people in the queue wor!
Then again, I'm not as well built as Hard Gay.
So I might just end up looking soft. Soft Gay. =P
But definitely for sure, there will be 1 damn thing that I'll never do...
Stripping on national TV, that is.
With a yellow undies, no less.
That's soooooo yucks.
Oh well.. =P

Mistakes...
For once, I have to admit that I'm fallible. For choosing to cramp so much nonsense.
Especially after attending my 1st class for P3: Business Analysis, which is the new syllabus's equivalent of the old 3.5: Strategic planning and blah³.
Now I truly understand the pain of the working folks while taking this nonsense.
On a side note, the bald indian dude who's teaching this paper seems to have some issues with marriage.
While constantly referring to it as "a mistake on the part of the guy", he use it as illustration for demographics analysis to target products towards.
Like the part on "He prefers a Jag but his wife ask him to buy a merc convertible cos it's smaller and suits him better, but most of all she could drive it to the mall on a sun."
(WTF?!)
Bah. There's seriously no hope for the human race.
Not when you get such lecturers with such examples. =(

Random Nonsense
Dedicated to Debs, the
tiny puny small little gal from SoA & my previous MA grp who always never fails to kajiao me about my balding hairline.
(not moi fault. too stressed, can?)
"Do you know why guys get bald so easily? Because when their wives buy shampoo and realise it is not so good after initial use, they'll pass it to their hubby to use."
By Roy Goh, who teaches ACCA subjects @
FTC Kaplan.
Probably by far my favourite lecturer, especially for his effort in teaching 1.2 & 2.5.
(Too bad din manage to get into his P1 class. sad.)

Politics & Evolution (draft)
Note: V1 only. more updates tml.
P.S. it's mostly fictional in terms of inferrence.
I don't make the stereotypes, I just see them.
Any opinions/comments, pls leave them so i can change this along the way.
It's amazing how politics have evolved worldwide over the years.
From monarchy to Tyranny, Theocracy, Communism (think China) and many other forms, politics has went through many changes since the days of East Indian Company or even since the 1st Dynasty of China was formed.
Take the little red dot, Singapore, for example.
In the past it used to be like this under the colonial rules.
Ok perhaps not that bad, but somewhat similar. Especially in WWI during the Japanese Occupation.
Along the way colonial rules were gradually replaced by democracy, but apparently it is just 'democracy' in name.
Even if people despite and hate it, there isn't exactly much alternatives either.
Shortly after, with change in attitudes and needs, democracy is starting to truly take form, though occasionally it is still in name as well.
[P.S. find this familiar?]
And lastly, something that's not quite linked to this entry but still related to local politics context:
The Ministerial Pay Hike, right after announcement of pay hike for the civil sector.
Don't all these makes you wonder why they even bother with democracy in the 1st place?

Top 10 questions we can never find a freaking answer to...
1) How can those damn birds fly and crap at the same time? (@#^$^)
2) How come some claim to be democratic when they govern like autocrats/tyrants/communists/whatever fark shit u can think of?
3) How come a blowjob is called blowjob when it's all about sucking?
4) Why does it always seem like problems in society only get resolved after we start to pay the gahmen more? (read: Mazda test car accident & asshat Regan Lee Da Wen)
5) Why does it always seem like problems in society gets worse after the gahmen solved other problems?
6) How come some people can say some things, then turn their back on it and have the subject matter jailed, and act as though nothing happened? (read: homosexuals)
7) How come people say the nicest, damnest things during elections, only to do the opposite? [How come they always omit the not-so-nice stuff?]
8) How come Singaporeans are open to 'open bribery' in times of election and not realise it's bribery?
9) How come Singapore Zoological Garden don't have magic pony? I want a magic pony too! [magic mushroom/shrooms will do as well]
10) Why is it that God gave women the gift of unlimited orgasm, whereas men are only granted a max limit of orgasm within a limited period?
bleh. I can't think of any more nonsensical shit.
Care to contribute?

GST hikes, Dumb Singaporeans and their Car shopping
Sometimes, I can't help but wonder if Singaporeans do know their mathematics.
Even despite reports saying Singaporean kids are among the world's top few in terms of competence in Maths & Science, I still have my doubts about it, especially after looking at the dumb adults.
The most simple example will be the mad rush to buy cars after the GST hike was announced.
Obviously, their initial thought will be that if they were to buy now, they will save that additional 2% as compared to buying after 1st July.
If we were to base the additional tax hike on the latest prices from Motor Trader Association, (
http://www.mta.org.sg/documents/PriceList_002.pdf) a new Toyota Corolla Altis 1.6 (Cat A) will cost approximately $1k more in tax whereby a luxury car (Cat B) like Toyota Camry 2.4 would easily cost $1.8k more.
For the entry level folks, a Hyundai Getz 1.4 will probably be around $700+ more.
For the bengs-wannabe, a 2.5 WRX STI will easily cost $2k more.
And for the high-flyers? a BMW 730 will easily cost $5.5k more.
However, they forgot that other dummies in the nation think alike like him.
In Singapore where they have the COE system to collect revenue for the 'smart' Govt, a surge in demand + those MIW reducing the quota
(U asshats!) would mean rising premiums for the dumb buyers and more pocket money for the
ministers and their ministerial pay hike govt to spend on other projects.
(what a nice way of putting it across)
http://www.lta.gov.sg/corp_info/doc/COE_Result_2005_2007.pdfThere u go. From there you can see that the average price trend has been rising from 11k+ to 16k+ now for Cat A (<1600cc),>1600cc), a 6k+ hike.
An simpleton upon looking at these figures can easily tell that only buying the more expensive/luxurious cars now, will you then stand to gain assuming the COE price maintains the current rising trend.
Of cos though, if COE prices go back to its original level after 1st July, then those small car owners (>1600cc) will be jumping mad then for buying so early.
A more indepth analysis will be to look at the % of which the respective COE premium hike is as a proportion of the cost of the cars.
For the smaller cars like your typical Vios, Corolla, Getz, Picantos and others, assuming it cost on average between 40k to 50k, it'll be approximately 10% to 12.5% of the car cost.
Whereby for the bigger cars, it can be anything from 6, 7% to as low as 1% or even lower.
So moral of the story? It pays to do your sum before you blindly follow the crowd.
There's always more to just the surface of anything.
