Pictures from London

UK Prime Minister Tony Blair said it was "reasonably clear" there had been a series of terrorist attacks. He said it was "particularly barbaric" that it was timed to coincide with the G8 summit. He is returning to London.

In the slipstream of consciousness

- London wins the bid to host the 2012 Summer Olympics. Yayyyyy!
Well done. Of course someone thinks it has something to do with the Iraq War. The very same person also thinks that London got the vote because all the Commonwealth nations voted them in.
It would be too easy to rebutt some lame-ass comments so I will not.
London won simply because they made the better bid. On the other hand Paris had the bragging rights in the bag and they screwed it up(again!). The IOC members saw that the Paris bid was all sizzle and little steak. So maybe they can try for the 2016 Olympics. Maybe then they might get their act together and actually win. I think even fate would be kind to them,imagine losing 4 bids in a row!

On a sad note, London's underground was bombed today! I guess timing is everything and it showed today. It was done to maximum effect as the culprits knew that all eyes were on London after the announcement the day before and the start of the G8 Summit. Well those fuckers can go to hell! I hope Bush and Blair hunt you down and kick your asses. But I know that will never happen. The war against terrorism is far from over by the looks of it.

Agnes wants to hear what I had to say about her. I did a posting about what I love about her, and she clamours to hear the negative side of the coin. Go figure. I guess she thrives on negativity. But not being one to deny her the pleasure,I will get around to doing a posts on the things I hate/detest about her. Should be fun. I came up with all sorts of 'out-there' things about Agnes that I 'hate'.

The price of a Piccy has risen! So I think it is timely to look at other cars too. Since the gap in prices has narrowed. So I might as well look for something a bit more pricey since the difference is not much based on today's price list.

Agnes is back from her trip up north. And there are lotsa tales to tell. Most significantly the tumble she took in the shower and how I drove up to see her on the 2 nights she was in JB.

Had a rather good dinner with the gang at Larissa Cafe yesterday.

Wee Ling has gone over to the lab. Agnes is so blue. I guess you can say they are the best of friends. Why did it have to come to this? Silly actually...

I feel after our JB rendezvous, Agnes and myself have grown even closer (if that is even possible). We are so in love and inseparable that it is crazy!

Agnes brought fruits and stuff back with her from her Malaysia trip. Hasli got tea. I swipped some of the teas and a box of dried strawberries. My folks got tea, a whole lot of fruits, strawberry biscuits and stuff. Of course the ones I am most looking forward to are the scented candles she bought...*wink*

The G8 Summit is now on and the leaders from the 8 most powerful nations will meet to tackle issues like global warming and African poverty

Bloglitics. by Kenny Sia

(also known as easy steps to a successful blog):

Having blogged for so long, here are some of the things I've learnt thus far.

Bloglitics = Blog politics. It is inevitable. Anything you do or write will be used against you. Whatever you put on your blog, there's ALWAYS people out there who will be offended.

What can you write on your blog?

If you write about your daily life, people will say that your daily life is very boring.

If you don't write about your daily life, people will say that you have no life.

If you post photos of yourself in your blog, people will say you are an attention-seeking bitch.

If you don't post photos of yourself in your blog, people will say you're an ugly-looking anonymous coward hiding behind the computer screen.

If you post Photoshopped photos of yourself in your blog, people will say you are fake.

If you post un-Photoshopped photos of yourself in your blog, people will say you cause infertility.

If you link and write good things about other bloggers, people are gonna say you're an ass-kisser.

If you link and write bad things about other bloggers, people are gonna say you're just jealous.

If you praise Singaporean girls, people are gonna think you're putting down Malaysian girls.

If you defend Malaysian girls, people are gonna think you have something against Singaporean girls.

If you write about your conservative lifestyle, people will say you're a right-wing evangelising religious nut trying to force other people to lead your lifestyle.

If you write about your liberal lifestyle, people will say you're a sex-crazed attention-seeking exhibitionist slut who enjoys baring your titties on the Internet.

If you post photos of pretty girls on your blog, no matter how pretty you think they are, there will ALWAYS be people out there who say they're ugly.

If you write jokes on your blog, people will say you're not funny.

If you write satirical jokes on your blog, there will ALWAYS be someone who don't get it and turn all angry and upset over it.

If you create a personality quiz on your blog in the name of fun, people will say your readers have no personality.

If you have ads on your blog, people will say you're selling out.

If you don't have ads on your blog, people will say you're stupid for not trying to make easy money.

If you leave your comments and site address on other blogs, people will say you're site-whoring.

If you get featured in the newspaper because of your blog, people will say you're a fame whore.

If you reject the newspaper's request for an interview, people will say you're a stuck-up bitch.

If you write socio-political blogs, people will say you are boring.

If you don't write socio-political blogs, people will say you are infantile.

If you write in perfect English, people will say you're a hao-lian elitist.

If you write in casual colloquial English, people will say you cannot write at all.

If you write about Malaysian issues, people will say you're trying to imitate Jeff Ooi.

If you rant and diss using words like 'dipshit' and 'dumbfucks', people will say you're trying to imitate Maddox.

And if you write an entry like this, people will say you're trying to imitate mr brown.

If you follow these simple rules, then I can assure you that you're well on your way to bloglitically-correct superstar-dom.

Love The One You Are With

If you're tired and confused
And you don't remember who you're talking to
Your concentration slips away
Because your baby, sweetheart, sugar's so far away

chorus
And there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love
Honey, love the one you're with (that's right)
Love the one you're with

Do do do do do do do do it x3

Turn your heartache right into joy
She's a girl and you're a boy
Get it together
Make it tonight
You aint gonna need any more advice

(chorus)

Gotta do something, the nights really jumping so love
Don't mind the feeling, it's not like you're falling in love
Hugging and kissing when you're love is missin love
Can't do no harm if it's only one night and you're in
My man, go ahead on
Find somebogy, get somebody
Love will still be right here when you get home
For a night, get the love
The eagles flying with the dove
And if you can't be in love
With the one you love
Just love the one you're with

Always & Forever

Always and forever
Each moment with you
Is just like a dream to me
That somehow came true, yeah

And I know tomorrow
Will still be the same
Cuz we got a life of love
That won't ever change and

Everyday love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away with a smile
Take time to tell me you really care
And we'll share tomorrow together
Ooh baby, I'll always love you forever

Ever, ever, ever
There'll always be sunshine
When I look at you
It's something I can't explain
Just the things that you do
If you get lonely
Call me and take
A second to give to me
That magic you make and

blogs by people I know

Let me get the big one out of the way first...

Nadia

I think by now most of you would have read my entries on her. Nuff said.

Noel

My brother,Noel. A new blog, only 2 entries long as of today. He and I are really close and hope to see more posts from him in the near future.

Vannie

Vanessa has a blog too, but she would prefer I do not divulge the address as she prefers it to be kept private. A really sweet girl. Wise beyond her years.

Marcus

I got to know him through Lisa and he is a really funny guy.Loves animals and zoo's. We not keep in touch regularly but I him as a friend. He does not blog regularly, but still he is a good read.

Faith
A friend I got to know through Rachelle. We go to church together sometimes. She writes these really cryptic posts. She also has another blog which is ...umm...more explicit. And she ...umm.... has a good grasp of the english language. Coolness!

Pei Yun
Not met her before. But I do enjoy the pics she posts sometimes. In fact the first time we met I was looking for a picture of Marina Loft and stumbled upon her page. Left a comment and the rest is history.

There are others but I think this is all for now...

Things I like about Agnes...

Although this list is by no means exhaustive, it kind of touches upon what makes her so special...

1) She is an independent, modern woman. In that I mean she does not need me to pander to her every whim and fancy. A typical date with her is enjoyable because I do not have to act like someone trapped in a time warp. She orders her own food and sometimes even takes care of the drinks. Agnes is not the sort who expects her guy to wait on her hand and foot. Which is refreshing. She also does not expect me to hold doors open for her.

In fact because she is so self-sufficient, it makes me want to pamper and let her know how much I appreciate her even more. And she appreciates all the small things I do for her so much. She does not see it as my duty to do 'gentlemanly' things for her and is often overwhelmed when I do stuff for her.

2) Her love for animals. I think anyone who knows me would know how much I love animals and nature. So it is priceless to have a partner whom I can share my passion with. In fact in some aspects her love surpasses even mine for conservation and animal rights.

3) Making time for what is important. In life we often make time for the things we esteem most in our hearts. And Agnes despite all her committments besides me, still makes the time and effort for us to do things together and spend quality time. Agnes has her family time to tend to, as well as work and her piano, as well as her future further studies to contend with, yet she still finds time to make me the centre of her universe. That is something that means so much to me.

4) She is passionate. I do not know how to describe it here without divulging our litle secrets. But let us just say that she is a good kisser, and that she is affectionate. Words can only say so much, but actions leave an indelible impression! When we are together, I feel so loved. A simple touch or the feeling of her hand in mine is enough to make me feel special. Her hugs and kisses mean so much because you know she is not just going through the motions, but that they are expressions of the love she holds for me in her hearts.

5) She is practical. I am the sort who loves to indulge those I treasure most. I see it as an expression of my love towards those I love. But Agnes is never quick to take advantage of that 'weakness'. In fact she loves me in spite of myself. I may not earn as much as her even now, but she is willing to overlook my shortcomings. She never asks for the moon and expects me to deliver. As such I have learnt to be more prudent in my expenditure. It does not cost alot to have a good time anyway. So at least now I am more conscientious about what I spend on.

Agnes.

We have been together for all of 4 months. But it never feels like it. In a way I feel like we have known each other for a lifetime. I am sure Agnes feels the same way too. It is just that the pieces fit so well, it is often too good to be true. She is as much my best friend, as the love of my life. But it was not always like that...

I have known her almost as long as she has worked in AVA. We occasionally had dinner at the same table and rubbed shoulders at company shindigs. But we were never close or even on speaking terms until quite recently. I guess the other people left a deeper impresion on her than myself,namely: Ten, Ai Khim,Hasli,Lyn and Poh. Being the social butterfly(not) that I am, we hardly engaged in any meaningful conversation beside the usual pleasantries.
I always found her a pleasant girl and someone I could relate to even then. But she had 'better things' to do than to bother with someone like me it seemed. So years went by and we hardly knew of one anothers existence.
Until the day I 'stole' her handphone number off of Hasli and we started SMS-ing to-and-fro ever since. One thing lead to another and I asked her out for dinner one day. We met at the Heeren and had dinner at Pasta Mania at Orchard Cineleisure. After that we went shopping at Heeren area.
We met a few times after that for movies (on Chinese New Years Eve), at her place for Chinese New Years(!) and so on. The turning point for me was when she was my Valentine. We went to NYDC at Suntec.
Of course all the dating was fine and good, but I wanted more. Although we were doing all the stuff that couples do, we were still not officially an item. I had asked her a few times but she seemed uncommittal as to our status. Until...

That night at Marina Bay. We had a nice pleasant chat under the starry sky as the city lights twinkled in the background. As the hours passed we seemed to grow more intimate in the fact that she was by then literally on my lap! But still the answers I were seeking seemed no where in sight despite appearances.
And then there was this guy sms-ing and calling her asking her out. I was peeved to be honest. He knew we were already dating and yet he had the nerve to still try his luck in trying to snare her. Worst part was Agnes still entertained his advances despite the fact we were already dating. I was visibly upset then, maybe not to the extent to which I was displaying, but upset nonetheless. Although we were not an item exclusively, I had by then grown very fond of Agnes and did not want to lose her to someone else.Especially so when the other guy was a player.
The ride home that night was kind of marked by the silence. I was upset and did not feel like talking much after. I did ask her a few times on the way about our 'status' but still the answer I needed had not arrived.
When we had reached her place I walked her up to her flat as is my custom. It was there and then she declared that we were indeed a couple!

YAYYYYYYYY!! *Smoooooooccccchhhh....*

The kiss we shared that night may not be the best one we ever had since then, but it was surely a moment I will never forget as long as I live. So many emotions were wrapped up in that moment. When the moment finally came it was the greatest feeling in all the world.

Since then we have been virtually inseparable and our love has grown from strength to strength. I never felt so strongly about anyone before. Now that she is once again away ,in malaysia this time, I pine for her return. And every moment without her is like an eternity.

After all the shit I been thru in my personal life the last decade or so, I truly appreciate Agnes all the more. Makes me want to love and treasure her more. To do all that is humanly possible to be the best boyfriend/fiance/husband to her that I can. And when all else fails to love her as God would have me to...

Olympic fever hits Singapore in July 2005 as it hosts the most exciting event in its sports history - the 117th IOC Session where the 2012 Olympic Games host city will be elected.

Rest in Peace: Luther Vandross

Legendary American soul singer Luther Vandross died at the age of 54, two years after suffering a devastating stroke that left him debilitated for the rest of his life.



Vandross stopped making public appearances following his stroke in his New York apartment, but managed to keep recording, winning four Grammys in 2004 including best song for his wrenching "Dance With My Father." But even as he ailed, "Dance With My Father," co-written with Richard Marx, sold nearly a million copies in its first month of release in June 2003 and went on to win four Grammys, although he did not attend the ceremony.

The artist dominated the rhythm and blues world for more than 20 years, his 14 albums selling more than 25 million records and winning a total of eight Grammy awards in the latter part of his three-decade career.

Vandross was considered the premier soul balladeer of his generation, with a silky voice that seduced millions of fans and won over collaborators such as David Bowie and Aretha Franklin.He became a fixture on the urban music charts, and wrote for artists like Franklin, Diana Ross and Dionne Warwick, but mainstream success eluded him until 1989, when he had his first Top 10 pop hit with "Here and Now," a track tacked onto a compilation album. That song has since become something of a classic wedding ballad.

A Teletubby tummy? I do not think so...

Agnes has repeatedly said that my tummy resembles a Teletubby. Anyone who knows me knows that not to be true. I mean I am underweight. Anyone can see that. But rather than rant about it and flog a dead horse, let me present irrefutable evidence that I do not have a 'teletubby tummy'.

Exhibit A:


This picture was taken after I had taken a nice seafood dinner at East Coast Park a few days back. So pardon the flab. But as you can see no 'teletubby tummy'.

Exhibit B:


This is an artists impression of my body taken a few months back. See? No sign of a teletubby tummy here either.

Exhibit C:


I even had an arty picture done. Cool eh?

Just for comparisons sake, here are a few random pictures of Teletubbies. See if can spot anything similar between them and the pictures of me posted above...

Another Xiaxue commentary

Wendy posted another of her tirades, this time on being burnt by a lit cigarette.

You can read in in full here.

Anyway, after I had done the eye-rolling thing and let out an almost inaudible sigh at the juvenile rant I got to thinking...

In a room full of smokers is there such a thing as first-hand and second-hand smoke? This applies especially to places like clubs and bars where smoke just abour permeates the entire room and the only way to escape it is to go outside. Not that it is any better, as people do 'step out for a smoke'.

So everyone is inhaling the smoke from their own cigarettes as well as the secondary smoke from the other smokers in the room.

This make me think of a few Garmen slogans:

Smoke alone, you will live longer.

Do not exhale unless absolutely necessary.

Use a paper bag over your head.Smoke your own smoke.

Keep a safe distance from the smoker in front of you.

If you drink, don't smoke.

Corny I know, but what to do? Life is like that sometimes (whatever that entails)

What is Scientology?

With Tom Cruise making an ass of himself on national TV, people are asking 'What is Scientology?'

So here is what I got off the official site

The aims of Scientology are a world without insanity, without criminals, without war, where the able can prosper and where Man is free to rise to greater heights.

And if you were to ask any Scientologist they would tell you it is a practical religion, with practical answers — tools that can be applied to achieve greater awareness and purpose in the here and now.

Or, as we say it, when you have the answers to life's questions — there is virtually no part of existence it cannot be applied to for the betterment of life itself.

What people need are real solutions, real tools to deal with and effectively overcome human problems.

Every one of us has experienced it.

Think back yourself and you'll remember when you tried to help a grieving loved one, a struggling child, a friend overcome by addiction.

And where you have failed, it's only because you lacked effective answers to accomplish what you desired.

There is even a free Personality Test

The benefits of Scientology are as follows:

The Scientology religion is about the individual man or woman. Its goal is to bring an individual to a sufficient understanding of himself and his life and free him to make improvements where he finds them necessary and in the ways he sees fit.
Scientology is a workable system. Evidence may be seen in the lives of millions of Scientologists and the positive effect they create. People improve their lives through Scientology principles. As Scientologists in all walks of life will attest, they have enjoyed greatest success in their relationships, family life, jobs and professions. This web site contains some of these successes.

It also provides suggested books, materials and courses one can do to learn and apply Scientology principles and apply them to one’s life to create successful relationships, deal with stress, communicate with others and resolve family problems and more, all on the road to true spiritual freedom.

in short: Scientology can help you with...



Unhappiness, Stress, Anxiety, Depression

Children

Helping Others

Integrity, Honesty, Right and Wrong

Wow...so what are you waiting for?

Anyway..sarcasm aside, their site can be found at http://www.scientology.org/ for those of you still intrigued by it.

What a girl means when she says :

What a gal says: “Oh, those are the cutest trainers! Where did you get them?” What she really means: “Wow, it’s really admirable of you to shop in your local Oxfam! I prefer Selfridges myself.”

What a gal says: “I am so exhausted this morning! Anyone want to split a triple mocha latte from Starbucks?” What she really means: “My sex life is so active, vibrant, and physically fulfilling as to make yours seem nonexistent by comparison. Plus, I make more than you do, so I can afford to splurge on exotic beverages.” (Note for clueless guys: a “triple mocha latte” is a teaspoonful of black coffee mixed with a quarter of milk and a Hershey’s bar.)

What a gal says: “Like, totally! I completely agree! You did exactly the right thing!” What she really means: “I’m sorry, I wasn’t listening. Can we talk about my life now?”

What a gal says: “Anyway, so I gave him the number, but it’s not like I expect him to call or anything.” What she really means: “I gave him the number, but notice I didn’t say I gave him my number. I hope the folks in the retirement home go easy on him.”

What a gal says: “So Marcus at the salon says I’m an Autumn, but that can’t be right because I’m always wearing summery clothes. Plus I’m a Gemini, and Gemini is, like, totally a Winter. What do you think?” What she really means: “I hate these uncomfortable silences. Won’t somebody else say something so I don’t have to listen to the sound of random thoughts rattling around inside my skull?”

What a gal says: “You know how it is. All the good ones are either gay or married.” What she really means: “Hey, I have an idea! Maybe if we didn’t spend all our time huddled together like a high-school cheerleading squad, some guy might work up the nerve to actually approach one of us and ask us out on a date!”

What a gal says: “Gosh, I’m not very hungry today. I’ll just have the arugula salad.” What she really means: “Gosh, how can you people live with yourselves? Maybe you wouldn’t have to work out at the gym three times a week if you weren’t always pigging out on cheeseburgers and french fries.” (Note for clueless guys: “arugula” is lettuce, but better-looking and three times as expensive.)

What a gal says (glancing in your direction): “Hey, who’s that geeky guy who keeps looking at us? He’s totally freaking me out.” What she really means: “Hey, who’s that geeky guy who keeps looking at us? He’s totally freaking me out.”

Steve's Story: Special Edition

It was on TV12 today. The part that really touched me was the part where Steve Irwin,Mr Crocodile Hunter himself, related the events lead to the untimely demise of Chillie, his dog. He was literally in tears as he was talking about how she was shot by an overzealous hunter on a routine wild pig hunt. The hunter accidentally shot Chillie when he was aiming for the wild pig. Chillie was like Steve's best friend for many years, and they would go out on their crocodile catching trips together. Steve was devastated by her death and was in mourning for a while after that. Just watching that on TV was so emotional. I was close to tears just watching it, let alone Steve. God only knows the turmoil he went through during the loss of his very best friend in the entire world,under such trying circumstances at that.

Future posts to look forward to this week (if I get around to doing them all)

- a feature of the blogs of people I know **NADIA'S BLOG PLUG**

- other stuff i have not thought of to blog about yet.

On the celebrity front...

Ran into Xiaxue the other day at Marina Square while I was there with Agnes on Wednesday. She was with her 2 friends. Was nice yet a bit disenchanting to see her all at once. She is exactly how she looks in her photoshopped pictures. Yet she seemed all too human now. So Her Highness is flesh and bones after all.

Also met the runner up guy from Eye for a Guy,Howard Lo at Harvey Norman today. he was looking at some vacuum cleaners. How...so very... domestic...

And lastly, a sport presenter guy (I was thinking Hamish Brown, but he was not) sat in front of me during Bible Study today. Did not help that he is rather tall and beefy. But it was ok. I more than matched him there.

Sunny's woes

Sunny's starter gave today. I called the AA in the afternoon and the guy got him started again using the coolest thing I seen using the battery cable. Gotta try that method sometime.
After I got it started I drove to one the workshops near Yishun Industrial Park. The guy there said there was nothing wrong with the car when he found it could start easily. I took his word for it as I did not know better.
Drove back to office and continued my work. After work, I prepared to drive home but once more Sunny could not start. I called the AA again and luckily this time a different guy came down. I would not know where to put my face if the same guy had come as the first time. After all the advice he gave me, the same shit happened. Paiseh lah.

The second AA guy used a hammer. Less cool, but no less effective.

Once the car got started, I dropped off Ko Koh at the MRT and headed to Sin Ming to get the starter done once and for all. It was already late but the nice people there did the job anyhow. I like them. They seem sincere especially the elder brother. They were the same guys that did my battery a few months back. Left a good impression on me for the good job and service they did the last time round, that they immediately sprung to mind when I faced this new problem.

Job done, it was time to pay for services rendered. Problem was they did not have a NETS or credit facility. So I took the elder brother in my car to Thomson Plaza where I withdrew the necessary cash from the POSB atm and drove him back to the workshop. All the while we had a good chat about life and Singapore...

Such a nice guy. Will be back again soon (not too soon I hope!).

Agnes is away in Cameron Highlands now...

And I am stuck here in Singapore!

Think this is the longest we have been apart since we got together. She left on Thursday morning and will be back earliest Monday. So between now and then I have to do all that is humanly possible to keep myself occupied with the mundane things that make up my daily existence.

Aren't Fat Boy Slim's music video's the coolest?

The MTV for The Joker just came on and it is hilarious. It has little,cutesey kittens in human situations. Awww.... bwaahaaahhaaaa

His other vids are not too shabby either...
