too logical



"You Decide"

That's not the answer ladies are looking for when they ask for a suggestion.

Where to eat? What movie to watch? Where to go for fun? You don't have to be the "go to" person for everyone of these questions, but try to imagine the image that you are projecting if your answer to all these is "you decide."

So have a few places for food in mind. Check out the newspapers for good movies you want to watch. If nothing strikes you as particularly good, just be open to any suggestions. Find a place you like to hangout because you're comfortable there. If you don't have any ideas, ask your friends, check the Internet and papers.

In other words, do your homework: be prepared.

Fortune favours the prepared. Even in dating.

Listening

As you get more experienced with life and dating, maturing and growing old, you learn to read between the lines.

"I'm not ready for a relationship right now" translates to "you're not the one".

"It's not you, it's me" translates to "It IS you."

"Let's just be friends..." - "... Looooong distance friends."

The truth is most people are too polite to say what they really think, so you have to truly listen to what they mean to say, not what you would like them to say. It doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with you... well, there probably is - no one's perfect. But you are probably not worse than anyone else, and you'd have something special to offer that special someone. You just haven't found that one yet.

And not to be overly cynical, sometimes, "let's just be friends" means precisely that - I want to be your friend.

You are nice. You are sweet. I'm just not attracted to you that way.

And while it may be a little disappointing that you have not found that special someone, that new friend is a new resource. That new friend could tell others about you - and how you might be compatible with their friends.

Shoot for the moon and sometimes you might just hit a star. But that's alright because a star could light the way.

Who loves you, baby?

Assuming you'd love yourself. It is natural. You know yourself best and you know your strengths and weakness and you know best what is most lovable about yourself.

Why do you need to love yourself? Well, if you don't love yourself, how can you love another? If you don't love yourself, why should another love you?

you can't make someone love you.You can only make yourself lovable.

Simple Ingredients, Special Effort

It's all about the famous Prawn Mee Soup.

The secret of that dish, it seems, is the flavourful soup.

How is that soup made?The ingredients are simple: Garlic, Prawns, and Dried Scallops. Bags of garlic, prawns and dried scallops are tossed into a huge 40 gallon tun and boiled.

It takes 18 hours of continuous boiling, stirring, and simmering to make that characteristic flavourful soup. And tending the soup, stirring it often is important to prevent the soup from burning.

The ingredients are so simple, so common. But it is the effort that makes it special.

We are not all famous people, or blessed with talent, good looks, or an abundance of wealth. If we are special it is by virtue of our effort.

So the ONE you are looking for will be special because of the personal effort and attention given to you. Similarly what will make you special in the eyes of the ONE is your personal attention - offering your help lending an ear, giving a sincere compliment, or just brightening the day with a smile or a joke.

It's the little things.

the taste of defeat, ain't sweet

today, is full of defeats,
lost in life,
lost in studies,
lost my purpose.

just shut up.

the monitor, gleefully staring at me
my eyes, for once
was filled with tears
as they read between the lines.

just shut up.

i looked at the teacher
his hands ain't trembling with the paper
my friends passed me the yellow sheet
i trembled upon meeting the marks.

just shut up.

hopes seem far
facts seem near
i'm losing it
losing almost everything

just shut up.

lee hsien long talk for three hours
filled with nothing but empty claims
i talk for three hours
fill with empty claims that are nothing

just shut up.

thinking back, how long was it.
how long was it since i felt her.
i needed to.
i wanted to.

just shut up.

money don't come by easy.
work means money.
laziness is the killer.
mind you, lonliness kills too.

take care.
i might just go on.
but since the rain has stopped.
i see no reason.

so well,
good night.

i am afraid of responsibilities...

do yourself a favour

i've forgotten how to blog. or rather. i've forgotten i got a blog. that explains the previous two posts that so happen to be on the same day.

seriously, i've forgotten the blogging style i used to have. it's like a photo album. everythings gets caught on film. published it out. slot it in. put in the cupboard and be forgotten.

but well, there's always a chance where you take out the photo album. flip it through. realised how wonderful you've always look. or how awful you have looked. and wishes to take out the camera again. and to take new pictures.

but note. this time. the person might have different looks, different perceptions and different in many other ways.

in life, we need a purpose. just like you enter pizza hut to have pizza. enter mcdonald to drink. enter ajisen to eat mee. enter a book store to buy books. what do we live for? what do you live for? what do i live for?

money. the key issue around me. and around you. but well, things are obvious enough. enough elaborated.

eyebags. dark rings. ( is that what you call it? hei yan quan in hanyupinyin ). serious problem. haven't been sleeping till 10.30. not even 9.30. always 9am wake up. distorting timing. and then. have to last throughout the day till like 2am. if not 2.30am. how can one go on like this. it's not good now. not good in the future.

sensibility. be sensible. very sensible. do what you are suppose to do.

friends always have an expiry date. who doesn't have an expiry date? i'm totally convinced.

i'm no catholic.

praise the lord.

amen.

good night.

may god bless you.

take care.

the real killer, loneliness. laziness. lameness...

three things: desire, time, learn

after today, i guess i am able to sit through any lectures.

went for a business talk today, classified BIP. Business Introduction Programme. rather interesting talk. which took up like five hours of my Sunday.

supposed to go for the fireworks. but then. cancelled it. well, then was being held back by annoying people, i thought they were.

they weren't.

after attending the BIP, sitting down for another three, four hours to talk with one millionaire, two managers, three employees, i sat down and think. of course, after hearing their concepts which is brilliant i must say. haha. they are. seriously are. talk to me for one common purpose. obviously enough is to join their network. who doesn't want to earn big money. who doesn't. don't let this opportunity slipped off. fireworks cancelled? fate you must stay. join us.

some interesting things those people brought up.
1) if you dare to dream, we dare to hire you
2) singapore education system grooms people to be able to study well. not work well.
3) only one employee earns five million annually. some electrician. (forgot the details)
4) a degree only proves that you can study. nothing more.
5) a degree is as good as a diploma. if not, worse.
6) a degree's worth died down two years ago.
7) take risks to make it big.
8) smokers smoke because they feel relaxed. it's because they are controlling their breathing when they smoke.
9) why fireworks? why not a big balloon containing thousands of 50 dollar bills and and burst it in the middle of the stadium, releasing them to the audience.
10) nothing is deem as impossible. it's how you want to do it. are you willing to face it. how are you going to manage it.
11) don't let emotions run you. run your emotions.
12) never work for money. let money chase after you. work to play.
13) the world has become so small, the market? bigger than the world.
14) one small step to a huge success. that small step is never simple.
15) sadly, there are many many many many many small steps to being successful.

and alot alot more. bedazzled.

well, don't know about my decision.
what a Sunday.

abit regret. never do a lot of things then go listen to such crap. or are they crap?

noone believes you. believe in yourself.
noone understands you. understand yourself.
noone talks to you. blog.
noone wanna be friends with you. be friendly.
noone bothers about you. care for them first.
noone cares for you. care for yourself.

be independent. very independent.

losing patience with myself...

dare to dream, that's what i want

i believed i am able to sit thought lectures already. given that i've sit through enough today. god. if you people never cancelled the fireworks thing. i could have got out of there earlier. the earlier. the better.

alright. i'm being quite hypocritical at that time. putting on a smile when i don't even wanna do it. but these people. their passion for money is really truly incredible. especially that arrogant asshole. but well. he earns big bucks. smoke big fat brown sticks. he's a millionaire already at the age of 27?

it's all about marketing. even if you have the lousiest product in the whole wide world. it's all about how you go around matketing that shit. do it good. it will sell. do it bad. it will still sell. making a loss.

but watever. it's just so watever. hokay. i'm interested. but not willing to devote the time for it. anyway. thanks for the time also la. shook quite a number of millionaire's hands. or some wanna-be.

the whole thing surprisingly irritates me without fail. though i can grab their concepts. the ideas. it's nothing from school. listen up. school really sucks. tell them i study BIT they question me with wad is being taught to me in school. surprisingly, it's nothing compared to their experience. so what am i studying for?

they tell me. study so as to achieve a short cut with the theoretical path. ok. that's some bright side of things when things eventually boils down to practicals and experience. but well, if there's a short cut. why don't do it well? studying ain't sucky.

all they can end their presentation with is "guess what's my age"
COME ON. fuck your age. hao lian she mo. so wad u are a manager at the age of 20. so what. ask for my age. to prove ur age. no freaking business. but well. i am seriously seriously impressed. so ya. impressed.

guess my decision. 'cos i ain't telling anyone. haha.

chill. enough of today. no fireworks. lotsa crapping. hell nothing.

losing my patience with myself already.

don't mind me. i'm going to scold people.

i'm losing it. lol. with myself. don't get me wrong.

but whatever. i am still very tolerant.

hehehe.

not a problem man.

i have the mindset ready.

it's so whatever~

fuck you right back...

sore legs

disappointment.

what a day.

sorry guys.

thank you guys too.

*sigh*

things that you will never know, things that i will never know...

point of stability

*pops champagne* cheers! this has turned one.
and i must admit. this blog totally lacks in-depth content. it's too shallow? or dense? haha.

watever is that suppose to mean. it's something good. haha.

be it physics or wat-so-ever. it's something real nice.

although i might say, that this post is for yesterday. as dated. Aug 01 2004. but too bad. the typist gets a bit too tired. and forget about his online desire.

be it logical or wat-so-ever. it's something worth thinking about.

well, the mid sem tests are near. weightage not that particularly heavy. abit lesser to study. compared to the final sem exams. but, it's still one of a hell thing to do.

be it lazy or wat-so-ever. it's something that requires self discipline and self motivation.

this year's NDP is gonna be such a hit that you're gonna fall off the chair. like which ndp doesn't? the goodie bag to start with. much of a load of rubbish. except that torch light that resembles of a 3200. concluded that nokia is trying to penetrate into consumer's brain that it's a good phone after all. though it doesn't really sell.

be it strategy or wat-so-ever. it's something that you shouldn't be bothered with.

like always, the main event is not the dancing. not the choir. not the indian. not the car. not the band. not the music. not the people around you screaming their heads off. not the goodie bag. not the performers. not the host. not the main lead singer. not the mp. not the sm. not the speaker. not the march in. but it's the fireworks. it's really damn cool. dreamy. with a bit of a shock. where it goes THUD in the first place. and then SPOOOSH. and then WEEEEE. before you know it. your jaws have dropped one inch apart.

be it fascinating or wat-so-ever. it's something you should experience with the one you truly love.

like i said. this post would be the last post for the month of august. did i actually say? haha. don't know. don't think so. but~ watever~. why this decision. 'cos tired. tired of what? tired of typing. haha. no la... being rather the fickle minded me, i just sort of want to go to xanga for a change. so you guys linking me out there! watch out. haha. i might be posting my new xanga address soon. but if you don't care. fuck off will ya?

be it loneliness or wat-so-ever. it's something you should do in order to take a rest. rest? yup. have a break have a kit kat kinda thing?

but hell yes, i should be reading up. not studying. there's a difference. haha. but who cares right. just read lor. won't hurt. just stop awhile to rest my eyes. typing this sentence with my eyes closed. haha. no mistakes? actually i corrected tons of them when i open my eyes. try it. type one whole post with your eyes close. it's fascinating to know what you really wanna type.
