If you see this guy..

If you can make out the guy from this picture, beat the crap out of him and take back Linda Chia's phone.



Why would someone do something like that? In front of his own kid (I think)?

is it just me...

or are there no good movies to watch?

or is Parliament one big PR exercise regarding the casino issue? The MP's and ministers are juicing it for all it is worth to come across as humorous, sympathetic and other emotions across the spectrum. Just wish someone would just come out and say what they feel instead of toeing the party line instead of all this pussy-footing.

"Viva il Papa."

Joseph Ratzinger is the new Pope. Took on the name of Pope Benedict XVI (a very popular name it seems).

As spiritual leader of the world's 1.1 billion Roman Catholics, he now has the task of guiding the 2,000-year-old Church in an era riven by dissent over doctrine and sweeping social changes.

The new pope's opposition to issues such as divorce, contraception, gays and the ordination of women, as well as secularism, would merely intensify the decline in church attendance and beliefs.

For me it is kinda a let down as I was expecting a more liberal and outward looking pontiff. But I guess it is more of the same with less charisma.

But it is not fair for me to judge him before he even gets down to work...but that is my opinion and I am sticking to it...for now.

Collide

The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah

I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide

I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to ryhme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide

You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide

light at the end of the tunnel

I bought a new bulb for Sunny's cabin. So now there is *presto*...light! yippie! Now Agnes and I do not have to find our way around in the dark.

This together with Sunny's battery change makes for a much better car.

Was supposed to go to Upper Bukit Timah with Hasli,Faezah and .... *grr*..writers block for dinner. But Hasli pulled out first thing in the morning. Then he was back in ...but whats-her-name took a rain check. Poh had something on too so could not make it. In the end we did not go...

Camou News Update

Camou is not looking too good now. He seems to have lost all use of his legs. In fact he appears to have lost all feeling in his rear end. He does not wag his tail and has trouble peeing and pooing.

I do not understand how something could happen to a young ,energetic pup like him.

zoo news

A crocodile attacked a zookeeper at Singapore's zoo, puncturing the 37-year-old's leg in seven places and leaving a tooth stuck in his calf -- the third incident of animals gone amok at the zoo in the last two weeks.

A jaguar escaped from its cage last Sunday through a hole meant for feeding purposes, leading to half an hour of frantic searching before it was found.

Just as staff breathed a sigh of relief at its recapture, trouble struck again.

During a show at the Night Safari on Monday night, a serval jumped at a Chinese tourist and sunk its teeth into her leg.

It held on for almost two minutes before it could be pried away by shocked staff.

However good news too:
On Wednesday afternoon, a young giraffe from Holland arrived after a 40-hour plane journey.

Standing at a relatively small three metres, the 10-month-old male giraffe joins two females from Israel.

I just think it is unfortunate that the 3 tragedies occurred. The zoo is still a good zoo nonetheless. But the first and second instance have more to do with human error than anything. The third was virtually unavoidable unless the cat had a history of such behavior and the staff did not act upon it and take precautions.

and all the small things

After work met Natt and Agnes at Black Angus at Fullerton One.

Dinner was good as it should be for the prices that they are at. Natt had a Ranch Steak, Agnes the Teriyaki Chicken and me the Seafood Combo. In the end I got lots off the plates of both of them. Was full by then. Was glad we did not order the breaded mushrooms.

Agnes was a bit tipsy and tired today. Probably part in due to her office party where alcohol was on the menu.

After dinner we headed back to my place. Natt finally got to meet Monk,Poison,Nico, UJ,Halia and last and certainly not least Camou. The cats were inform and displayed their whole array of tricks which in totality did not amount to much but at least they hung around to see our guest. Even Halia was seen...fleetingly.

The main reason for Natt's visit was to see Camou and perhaps be a shoulder for Agnes, seeing how Agnes gets kind of emotional at the sight of Camou's plight.

After all the fur had been shed and done, I sent Natt and then Agnes home.

2nd mth anniversary stuff

Met Agnes at Harbourfront. Walked around a abit. Agnes was hungry so we rushed off to No Signboard at Kallang.

Along the ECP there was a massive traffic jam so it took like forever to get to Fort Road where we were heading. When there we managed to get our orders taken via the new fangled buttons on the table number stand thingy. Cool stuff. You can ask for the bill,service, place your orders and all using that. Much better than waving frantically for a waiter to come.

The crab lived up to its billing and was great as usual.By the way we had the chilli crab. After dinner we took a slow stroll down the river to near where Cosy Bay is. Was a nice walk. We then had a drink at the nearby bar at the indoor stadium. Cool. We never did that before. Agnes has this thing about me drinking and driving.*groan*

After that sent her home.

With that we logged 2 months. Yayyyy...

In lieu of pictures for Eye for a Guy 2...

here are some pictures that might satiate my rabid readers (and this writer):

The Two Casinos

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has said Singapore will have two integrated resorts with casinos.
One will be built at Marina Bayfront and the other on Sentosa island.

They will be ready and operational around 2009

Camou News Update

We went to bring Camou home today.

Camou was so happy to see us. He was jumping and so excited to finally be going home. Must have been hell for him to be alone,away from his family, confined in a cage for nearly 5 days.

After settling the stuff at the vet we headed to the Cold Storage at Chancery Lane to buy some groceries.

At home we allowed Camou to walk around the house abit. It was then that the reality of what was wrong with him really sunk in. He seems to have lost much of the faculty of his hind legs. We are not sure if this is a temporary loss or not. We are gonna take Camou to another veterinary clinic tomorrow.

His back problems are also probably related to his constant...umm...erections. It seems he has lost control of his love thang. So it is almost constantly in a state of .. err... excitement. So we now look at this tiny chihuahua walking around the Boyd household with this huge pink penis glistening under the fluorescent lights. It has to be seen to be believed. A little dog with a big pink penis.Walking around. With his big pink penis for all to see.

I hope Camou gets well soon and gets full use of his limbs back. So sad just looking at him in this state. Kinda reminds me of Bambi in the scene where he was trying to stand up on the ice. Bambi kept trying to get up and keeps falling, but that does not stop him from trying...

2 months we are

Tomorrow marks another milestone in the Agnes and Leon story. Tomorrow we commemorate our second month together. It does not seem like 2 months. Feels more like 6 months.Not that I am complaining. We have come so far in the 2 months we been together.

Been the best 2 months of my life, but the best part is we still have the rest of our lives ahead of us.

I guess it is timely now that I look back and see where we have come from and where we are heading to.

........
........
........
........
....OK!

I guess the best part is that we are more like buddies most times. She does not act like some delicate little flower, all helpless and in need of a knight in shining armour to save her from whatever. Not that I do not enjoy pampering her and making her feel loved. But it is very reassuring to know that even when I am not around that she is well capable of taking care of herself.

Of course with familiarity sometimes there may be contempt. We see each other almost everyday. We even meet up when we are not supposed to. Just cannot bear to be apart for too long.(This is the part where Nadia barfs and Hasli becomes nauseous).One concern I have and I am not sure if it is a good or bad thing is that I worry that we may take each other for granted. So far there is no sign of that. But remember we have only been together for 2 whole months. It is normal in most relationships to slip into 'cruise mode' and just settle into some sort of comfort zone when the little things do not matter and we both look at the BIG PICTURE and actually shift priorities to important stuff like: *cough* finances, *gag* family, *aacck*friends, *cough-cough-cough* career or *horror-of-horrors* our own needs instead of our partners!

I just do not want our relationship to de-generate into something less than what it is now. It is hard to stay focussed on each other when so many other things scream for attention too.

Another thing is that I find myself being overly protective of Agnes. It is like when we go out I always expect things to be perfect for her. And when things do not so as well as I expect i get all pissed and peeved about the service, the traffic on the road, the weather..stuff like that. kinda crazy when you think about it.Most times Agnes is not bothered by all of this, but I am. Quite uncharacteristic of me..

I do not know why I am writing this when things are going so well..

So I am ending this here then.

Happy Two Months dear. Love you...

An eye for a guy 2

The new season is coming up soon. Gone is the skanky,trampy,two bit whore Rachel Lee. In is the lovely,articulate, witty and the possessor of some actual personality....*drumroll* Denise Keller.

In my totally biased opinion it makes for better viewing when the so called muse of the show can actually hold an actual conversation and make watching 10 guys try to win her hand quite bearable.
Last season, you know the one with the two-timing bimbo/former FHM Bikini babe whose name I have now forgotten(a case of selective amnesia),was highlighted by the interesting guys with their posturing and who were there to have a good time and their 15 minutes of fame. What to do when the 'prize' is a holiday with a dim-witted whore with little personality? Perhaps I am being too harsh about Rachel. I am sure she is not a whore. She probably does not get paid so my calling her a whore is out of line and for that I apologise.
Anyway...with a va-va-voom hostess and 10 guys it should be fun to watch this time round.
Not that I would anyway...

I had wanted to do a review of the 10 contenders but I could not get a hold of any pictures so I gotta wait....till the pictures become available. Apparently TCS has this 'copyright' thing which does not allow you to use the pics on their site without permission. Bah! Spoilsports!!

The weblog review

I have sent my blog up for review.

What this means is that the kind(notice the bold) people of TWR (The Weblog Review) will critique my blog and give comments about whats good and whats bad.Maybe even suggest ways I can improve my blog. There is a ratings system and all!

Their tagline goes like this:

Submit your weblog to TWR for more exposure to your site. Someone will review your site and let you know what they think about it: the good, the bad, and what needs to be fixed.

Ok...

D- day

Tomorrow we will know whether we are gonna get an 'integrated resort' or namely a casino(s).

Never have Singaporeans been so divided on an issue than on this one. Everyone and everyone's son has piped in their 2 cents worth. And now finally after all is said and done and the dust has settled...we will know if we are gonna have a full blown casino here (or 2 for that matter).

My thoughts here:this shoulda been a election issue or have been put up for referendrum. This issue is bigger than all of us or so it seems. I am all for it although I will not be one of those spending my hard earned money there. Does not mean that I advocate gambling just that all of us have the right to make our own decisions and have to live by those decisions for better or for worse.

in the news today

Pizza stolen from delivery man's motorcycle in West Coast Rd.

A pizza delivery man lost a Hawaiian pan pizza to an apparently hungry thief on Thursday evening.
Police said the part-time delivery man, who is in his 20s, was at block 729 of West Coast Road.

He left his motorcycle and the delivery box, which could not be locked, to deliver fast food to a unit.

He came down 20 minutes later to find a hot pouch and the Hawaiian pan pizza in it missing.

The hot pouch is worth $120 and the pizza $25

Gasp!! The horror! What is this world coming to?? Woe is us! The end is nigh...

Photoshop this!

bought Adobe Photoshop elements 3.0.



So now I can photoshop all my pics I post here. Should be fun..

NKF and other stuff

The NKF Charity Show is upon us again.

So it is the usual TCS artiste performing death defying stunts and putting their lives at risk all in the name of charity...

So it had me thinking of of how overly commercialised and the tactics used:

I believe that the nkf charity show has been running for close to a decade or so. the nkf charity show started off as an event whereby the foreign artistes put their heart and soul into their performances in a bid garner donations from the mass.

somehow along the way, the charity show degenerated into a Fear Factorisque show whereby the artistes try to outdo each other by performing some life threatening stunts. while it had been successfully pulling in the moolah,it also fuel our sadistic thirst for more life threatening acts at charity events. so much so that it is now necessary for charity shows to include this kind of dangerous segments in order to pull in the donations.

it also got me thinking, why wasn't there a charity show to raise funds for the tsunami victims? i can only speculate that the mediacork did not have the time to gather their artistes and subject them to torturous rehearsals for the dangerous stunts.

another peeve about local charity shows is how they try to use "emotional blackmail" to garner their donations. while i sympathize and empathize with their sufferings, there's no need to subject us to endless clips of the needy suffering. why can't they just showcase their determination and grit in getting on with their daily lives?

while i refrained myself from watching such charity shows, i managed to caught a portion of the latest installment of the nkf charity show at 031's birthday celebration. (Happy Birthday once again~) needless to say, the show once again resorted to using dangerous stunts to solicit for donations. since the nkf charity show looks like it is going to continue for the perpetuity, below are some suggestions for stunts the organiser could try out in the future.

1. THE MRT STUNT

Tie one of the daring local artiste onto the mrt track with the train is approaching in 3 mins. If he is unable to untie himself by then, he'll join the growing list of train wreck casualties. And the home viewers are advised not to blink. once you miss it, there's no chances for any replays. why?cause the cameras on the mrt platforms have no recording functions. just another feature of our world class mrt system.

2. THE PIE STUNT

No, it doesn't involve artistes gorging themselves silly with pies. PIE as in Pan Island Expressway. Get another daring local artiste to dash across the 4 lanes PIE to rescue a drunken monkey, and dash back to the otherside to put the monkey through a breathalyzer test. If he fails, he goes into the record books as the largest roadkill in this part of our shore.

go here too.

How about actually getting performers to perform? And I mean big ,big stars. Not the same hong kong celebrities we see each and every year.

*yawn*

can be tiring flogging a dead horse...

I will end here.

Places I wanna go with Agnes

- Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Lots of trails to explore. Or just the main trail up to the peak of Bukit Timah Hill.

- Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. My most favourite place only because all the animals there are free-ranging. Love it even more than the zoo even. But being what it is, there is no guarantee what you might see when you go.

- MacRitchie Treetop Walk. Wonderful view and worth the trouble in my view. Although a bit tad long getting there and getting back since there is no car park in close vicinity.

-Pulau Ubin. A day there just cycling and 'stuff' would be cool

- the Zoo!!

- Malacca

- Desaru

- KL

- Australia

-Greece

- Turkey

- Europe(all of it??)

- Japan

- Egypt

- Israel

..thinking of more...

Camou News Update (CNU)

:(

Went to see Camou today at the animal hospital.My mum and dad had been there just before we rached and said he was cheerful and stuff. So we decided that we were gonna see him after all. The reason being that Agnes tends to get a bit emotional seeing animals in distress. We were not willing to go and have him lying there looking forlorn.It is just too heart breaking for Agnes at least.

When we got here it was drizzling slightly.

We enquired at the enquiry counter, which is what people who want to make enquiries do. They directed us to the emergency room ward next door. We found Camou lying there looking all sad and despondent as any puppy would be. He tried his utmost to rise to his feet to greet us when we approached his cage, but crumpled in a heap after a while. It was more than Agnes could take...

I stroked him through the bars. he seemed aware of what was going on around him but did not seem to be strong enough to be mobile within the confines of his cage.

Finally the attending doctor, one Doctor Goh, dropped in to say hi. So we enquired further on Camou's condition and the options open to us. To be quite honest he seemed unsure of what he was saying. He did not exactly fill me with confidence. In fact he gave me the impression of a greasy,slimy used car salesman. Totally unprofessional in my view. Not someone whom I would want to leave the life of my beloved pooch in the hands of.

I am gonna ask Noel and Paula to maybe get a second opinion from another doctor before proceeding with any operation. Nadia suggested a clinic at Sunset Way which come highly regarded. An option to consider...

Drivers Woes

as a driver here are some of the stuff I hate:

-cameras at red lights.
I appreciate trying to penalise people who endanger the lives of others by beating a red light. But in my humble opinion these cameras endanger more than save lives. On numerous occasions I have seen vehicles make sudden stops at such junctions just to avoid getting caught. If that is the motive for having such cameras then. I myself sometimes find myself in a dilemma when approaching such junctions not knowing when and if the light are gonna change. Sadist these government officials...

- also speed cameras along highways.
Very much the same problem. An expressway is for people to move 'expressedly' but it is kinda slows down to a crawl near these cameras. I do not for the life of me see how this improves the safety aspect of drivers. They also have such cameras along roads with pedestrian traffic,such as one near my office. Along this particular road the limit is 60 kmh! Good grief.. that is almost a snails pace considering the road is about a kilometer long and straigth. If you are so worried about pedestrians getting run over, CLOSE OFF THE ROAD AND PUT UP BARRIERS. There are 2 overhead bridges along this stretch,USE THEM. NO point penalising drivers for the silly nincompoops who use a major road as their personal playground. Or even set up a traffic light there. Anything is better than a speed camera and a 60 kmh speed limit!

- People who hog the right most lane.
It is supposed to be an overtaking lane. But it seems like drivers cruise along at a leisurely pace in the lane for the duration of their entire journey. It is a pain in the ass when you have someplace to be fast, and you get stuck behind this guy who seems to be out for a joyride. Grrr...

-motorcyclist who straddle lanes.
It would not be so bad if they were moving at a moderate speed. But these morons make 2 lanes impassable by just riding at snails pace between the lanes. You cannot overtake them on either side for risk of hitting these 'poor, vulnerable motorist'. Grrr...

- silly pedestrians and cyclist. This problem is more apparent at Geylang and Little India. You have people waking across the streets and wankers cycling oblivious to vehicles around them. It is almost like they own the bloody roads. It is a road for goodness sakes. A road for motor vehicles. you are only endangering your own lives and causing unnecessary inconvenience to others.

-sudden merging and splitting of lanes.I see this happening all over the place. Two lanes merge and then that one lane merges with another. Then further down the road that one lane splits into two lanes.And then it merges...then it splits..splits...merges...

- traffic lights placed within walking distance of one another.
I see this most acutely at Chinatown. Seems like there is a pedestrian crossing every few metres. This is the anti-thesis of the problem at Serangoon and Geylang above. Both ways the ones that get screwed are the...motorists.

- season parking lots.
I do not live in a HDB flat so maybe this peeve is unique to only me. But so many times when I go visit friends or relatives who do live in HDB areas I find it hard to get a parking lot as all the lots are marked red. Meaning they are designated for season parking only. This is especially so in the new multi-storey car parks. So you have to go to one of the higher floors if you even hope of finding a lot.

- disabled lots
It may come across as politically incorrect but sometimes I wonder if there is any justification for having so many disabled lots.Maybe there is some sort of building code that makes it compulsory to make XX number of disabled lots in every carpark. But most times I find these lots underused and all around are frantic drivers circling looking for an empty lot. Surely there must be a way to rectify the situation.

-SUNTEC CITY
It gets an entry all of its own.Probably a symptom of bad planning. It is hard to find a lot there on weekdays let alone on weekends. Granted it is one of the bigger car parks around and occupies 2 full storeys, but it is still painfully clear that it is inadequate.

I will add more as I think them up...

Moos Attacks

It is official. We have been invaded by cows.

First it was cows in the guise of buses and their calves pretending to be taxi's.

Now the invasion has been begun...
All across Singapore hundreds of pink, orange, magenta, blue and green cows have been observed ...



These dastardly cretins have been seen along the CTE,ECP, Chinatown,Shunfu,Whitley Road amongst others. Sightings are flooding in...
It is all an elaborate and seemingly innoculous plot to infiltrate Singapore society. This scheme hinges on the nonchalance of Singaporeans. Numerous Singaporeans have admitted seeing the said cows but no one has come forward to make a formal report about it.



The cows after years of careful study have identified Singapore as a suitable target due to its indifferent citizens, world class airport, number one sea port and excellent infrastructure. Looks like the governments moove to attract foreign talent is finally paying off.

Am I an asshole?

I am 46% Asshole/Bitch.

I may think I am an asshole or a bitch, but the truth is I am a good person at heart. Yeah sure, I can have a mean streak in me, but most of the people I meet like me.
