can a picture really express a thousand words?

wow, $2 COE leh!

COE for small cars drops to historic low of S$2

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/390840/1/.html

COE has plunged (what are you waiting for?)

just made me wonder how many bidders were there for this round

perhaps just a tactic to surge the amount of the next bid

so buyers beware, the next bid might rocket

then again, it's all speculation

how high can it fly, we'll sit and see ('cos no money to buy car)

then hopefully, we'll see $1!

till then, i'm still working hard to be at least part of the bidding once...

Restroom Association wants 70% of public toilets to achieve 3-star rating by 2010

i didn't know singpore has a restroom association

seems like anything can have an association

why not a clean-table-clean-chair association for hawker center

don't they realise it's the same for the outside too?

but then these hawker centers will go to the extreme

by suggesting to undergo total renovation

wah... pretty pretty decoration

only let the consumers suffer, because that would be a pretty pretty neat reason to increase prices

so much for assisting people make through the economic downturn

anyway, it probably meant that

in order to make it through this downturn

perfect your skills of cleaning toilet!

make yourself the one that can change toilet ratings

then market yourself properly

earn money

start company

and make a "sure-at-least-3-star-rating" toilet cleaning marketing slogan

then restroom association wants you

to help clean toilet

you train people to achieve that

they get paid

you get the money *drools*

okay

snap out of it

crazinesss

so much for trying to be an innovative entrepreneur...

take note ladies!

S'pore ranked 16th most expensive shopping locations in the world "In Asia, Singapore's retail rentals ranked 4th, with Hong Kong retaining its position as the region's priciest shopping destination. "

please don't grumble if we don't bring you to shop in Singapore,

needless to say, hong kong, with the champion position

sigh, shopping paradise of asia

is the champion killer for pocket

so people,

flock to Malaysia for your groceries and petrol, Thailand for your apparels and accessories!

start cleaning toilets!

and strike hot for the small cars!

good luck!

if anything can go wrong, it is now. if anything is to be right, when?

argh, one month has passed

since the last post

then

i was comparing between clever people and stupid people

now

i realise i am "stupid people"

struggling with uni

i mean really

just can't cope

not the stress, but the requirements

seems so awful now

but what to do

life does goes on

and reading week too

five subjects

and five papers

ace all of them?

sounds like the impossible

how about Bs ?

i would say only if i'm lucky

and Cs ?

probably the way to be

but there's this english paper

i hated most

and had to hope the chinese mainlanders

push me up

then again, if i need to take english modules

wouldn't it be a waste of timetable slots

then again, if i need not take

probably i was just being fortunate

just a quick summary of what to foresee

just a quick summary of what is behind me

what i am reading now

european his-tor-y

what i am going to do later

motorcycle practically

probably not a good idea

studying would be the main focus

ahhhhh!!!

stress they call it

ahhhh!!!!

>:(

clever people versus stupid people

which are you?

i believe i belong to the stupid people

i'm not being humble or anything

i really feel stupid, the very first moment i know things

before anything. today i woke up on the wrong side of the bed

usually, it's the end of the bed, where i would stretch out my leg and get myself up

today, it's the left side of the bed, i rolled down and end up having to pull my-whole-self up

now that's embarrasing, and that means, today is a bad day. 

and yes it is.

forget to bring my mouse when i brought my laptop out

train just left when i reach the platform, breakfast all soggy

and blah blah blah, sigh, let me wake up from the end of my bed please

anyway, yes, clever versus stupid

inspired by an email, actually

so just some stupid thoughts of mine

don't really need to read if i were you, just close the browser. now.

1. Constuct a sentence using numbers 1 to 10. (1, 2, 3, ... , 10)

clever people would most probably plainly go, because of their extremely high intelligence, "huh?" , "i had better things to do." , "mathematically impossible" , "what's the percentage?" , "is this a trick question?" blah blah blah...

now stupid people, will do this:

Ah Lek was asked to make a sentence using 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10. 

Not only did he do it 1 to 10, he did it again from 10 back to 1. 

This is what he came up with..... 

1 day I go 2 climb a 3 outside a house to peep. But the couple saw me, so I panic and 4down. The man rushed out and wanted to 5 with me. I ran until I fell 6 and threw up. So I go into 7-eleven and grabbed some 8 to throw at him. Then I took  a 9 and try to stab at him. 10 God he run away. 

10 I put the 9 back and pay for the 8 and left 7-eleven.  Next day I called my boss and told him I was 6.  He said 5 , tomorrow also no need to come back 4 work. He also asked me to go climb a 3 and jump down! I don't understand. I am so nice 2 him but I don't know what he 1. 

outrageously incredible piece of work. 1 point to stupid people. thanks for the email !

then i see clever people doing really clever things:

there's them trying to design routes to siam ERP

there's them chopping tables with packets of tissue paper

there's them trying to use statistics to determine recession technical or not

there's them making streets so powerfully litted up for F1

there's them making cigarettes labelled

there's them reading newspapers in a sardine-packed train

there's them trying to earn the big bucks in a relatively short time

there's them that get super grades by studying smart, not hard

there's them that gets everything themselves yet lacks nothing

then the stupid people:

there's them waking up earlier than the ERP can *beep* them

there's them buying back lunch to office, so as to wayang and enjoy the air con and avoid the hassle of getting a table

there's them that just don't know what recession is

there's them that have tickets to see the powerful lights

there's them quit smoking

there's them act sleeping on the priority seats

there's them that earns cents on their grounds

there's them that really studies and reads every word, not realising that the chapter is not tested on

there's them that ignores everything they need to know

'cos not knowing is bliss

i believe i am a happier person because i am stupid

then again, stupid people will put the following:

all the content above is solely fiction

and was done on a half-conscious mind

any coincidence

is obviously a coincident, and thereafter, shall be laughed at, point at this site and say "this guy is stupid." and forget what they have read

in any event, they want to remember.

be stupid.

because. and very very very often sooo true

ignorance is bliss

good night.

stupid people gets smarter, smarter people gets stupid, stupidity cannot be cured...

i reckon

since there's alot for me to do

and i don't feel like doing them

i thought of small and useless additions here

and maybe a quick post

a quick pick up from where i left off

which i'm shamed to say, a long long time ago

i've finished work with Singapore F1, yes! i've been part of history

or so they claimed...

i'm now back to school, NUS that is, and failed 1 mid term test, fuck

i'm now learning my class 2B license, yup yup, i've decided to go ahead

and sucking my savings dry once again

i'm now stuck in uniSIM, waiting for beautiful to finish school, what the hell right, saturday, so much for being a part time sstudentt...

was feeling good, burdens from the mid terms are gone...

but that would normally mean, projects dead lines are nearing,

final year exams are coming

and the much dreaded english exam is coming as well, pray for > band 5 please!

so what happened today

wanted to reach marina at eight thirty, the official time, for pay cheque

but only reached at eleven thirty, thanks for this thing call sleep and waiting

collect pay cheque. skipped breakfast. had lunch. bought a hairband. then now here.

browsing through the internet.

F1 grand prix in Japan caught my attention.

Lewis Hamilton took the pole position!

and NICO? dropped out.

something's really wrong with Singapore's circuit. really.

all the drama and unexpected results really happened here. in singapore's circuit.

but then, because i have biasness towards team ferrari.

maybe the results appears to be more logical to me, for the japan's grand prix

interested junkie. for more coverage: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_sports/view/382038/1/.html

don't really know since when i am into F1

but yeah, it caught my eye

then went to hear "legal puffs" by mrbrownshow

very interesting, very entertaining, took a few minutes off for the road to one-seven-three-zero

and also, saw the communications technician at uniSIM,

like soooo into communicating lah he can. he did all the talking

just brought me back to the days of NS, and i want to head back

for a short while. for a short-free-burden-free escape.

so males, don't complain NS

it's the only escape from the gahmen we have

because you're part of it

and somehow, paid to protect it

and slowly slowly, you'll see me harping on the gahmen

which i will not do

i'm still feeling bored

maybe i'll go prepare myself for RTT

or just watch some show

or bbc

or cnn

go obama go!

you take care.

endure.

and let us have the strength to carry on.

god bless. amitabha. and blessyouinmalayandtamil.

love.

things should be simpler, and cheaper, in Singapore...
