kobe queue: side story

this happened when i was queuing up for kobe asia's tour ticket when unfortunately, a china lady was immediately in front of my me in the queue.

one of her friends reached, and they swopped places so that the first one could go for lunch while the other carry on. a nice friend she has right?

after about 45 minutes(when it really feels like 2 hours), the lady returned to join her friend. she stood outside the line and entertained her friend as the queue moves closer.

i went on with my psp and very much later, that BITCH cut the queue and acted as though nothing was wrong. she didn't even dare to look at me(maybe it's because i kept staring at her).

finally both of them walked off with each pair of tickets in hand. i got mine of course and just pitied the supposedly last guy who's gonna get the ticket.

oh ya, the best part: they were talking when they're almost at the end of the queue'. and i heard them saying:
'eh? what we're gonna do with the extra tickets?'

my mind:
F*CK YOU lar, take so much for what then?


both these whores made feel very negative about china chinese. i'm very sure i'm not the only one getting such behaviour from these people.
of course, there're some great china chinese around. i know some of them and my friends know some of them too.
it's just that why can't the rest of the population be like them?
too much to write
there has been several times i opened up blogger and left it hanging there for hours.
and in the end, i didn't blog at all.

then again there are times when you have written something and has no idea how to continue.
and in the end, you didn't blog at all.

i guess there are just too much unresolved issues.
new film on the roll
guys, check out my new short film in the photography blg again.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE leave a comment.

it'll be very much appreciated.

PLEASE. just comment.
controversial issues: smelly green things
i have been following some blogs and i came across one article that is so sensitive, it burns me from the inside.

a little warning: this blog is gonna be filled with vulgarities.

give me a few minutes before i start and just read this little comment made by this lady.

for me, someone who's not even enlisted into NS yet is bloody pissed off by this little passage she made. with just a composition less than 250 words, she has made herself an enemy of more than half of the singaporean population.

let the ranting begin:

hello, you bitch. so what if you're a mother of two? so what if you maybe a not very high class but act high of a mother? you can't even type proper english.

you'd probably be a foreigner who decides to reside in singapore.
that's even worse, you bring great shame to us foreigners. go back to your shit hole and never come back.

NS men has to contribute 2 years of their life, neglecting studies and other opportunities to serve and protect the country. it is compulsory. and if those young men know that they're spending a load of their time, protecting this kind of rubbish citizen, they'd might as well just quit.

not everyone has their parents come fetching every time they book out. what of those less fortunate families? NS men only get paid 400-500 dollars per month. how are they supposed to maintain a highly extravagant taxi habit? what, you think everyone lives just beside tekong? a 10 minutes taxi ride?

why don't you pay for all of the NS men's taxi fare?
you whore.

ORD loh.
lim tze hui, i believe as of today, you have ORD-ed right?
good for you.
damn, i'm bloody envious.

once again, good luck eh.

the real marathon
after weeks of thought,
i have finally decided on something.

which is to join this year's standard chartered marathon!

food review: mingles cafe
Mingles Cafe
Velocity@Novena



Potato Wedges and Cheese

a basket of golden potato wedges, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside served with boiling hot cheese.

the wedges were fine, only too hot when served.
what's worth mentioning is actually the cheese dip. it is the pillar of the dish, the only factor that makes this better than other potatoes.

rated: 3.5/5

Fish and Chips

battered fish served with a generous set od french fries and classic french salad.

the fish and fries are not amazingly tasty but fine to local taste buds. the salad were horrible done, as most of the leafy veggie leaves a slimy feel to tongue.
unless you're a heavy fish lover, you'll never agree that this dish should be one of the chef's recommendation.

rated: 2.5/5

Golden Crispy Chicken with Special Honey Sauce

chicken breast grilled along with the cafe's specialty honey sauce and served with a side salad.

the same set of disastrous salad, luckily made seen in a better light when served with the grotesque looking meat.
the meat were particularly tender, but a petty shame when paired with the artificially altered honey sauce.
a wrongful death to the chicken, and even cruel fate to her breast.

rated: 2.5/5


to the cafe's defense,
the place might not have good food, but they serve decent desserts including ice creams. their fridge boasts a wide selection of flavors spoiling kids and adults with sweet tooth alike.

check out their ice cream buffet too!

birthday again.
in case you don't know,
the name benson
is the title of an american television sitcom in the 70s.
the sitcom is pretty popular, even nominated for emmys.

who knows your mom was a fan of this and named you after it.

the name benson,
if wrongly spelt can be referred as bunsen
and with an addition of another word,
bunsen burner!

okay, that was crap for you since you like it so much.
and
check out the google image search result for benson.
pretty appealing result for guys.

i didn't think you can do much with that boring name.
haha. jokes and craps over.

finally,
happy birthday benson.

(this is him when he was 18)
haha.

kobe bryant: asia tour
i was told to reach wisma atria at 11am,
to guarantee myself a pair of tickets to kobe asia tour 2009.

i was actually proud of myself to reach at 11am sharp,
given that i woke up early, 9am in the morning.

but when i was there, i sneered at the little queue in front of the nike outlet. what little fans kobe has.

lesson 2: never sneer at people, even secretly.

then...
oh my god right?!
and this was not the only queue!
i was very wrong.
the queue drags all the way into the interior of wisma atria.

lesson one: never underestimate singaporean's kiasu-ness.


but after decades of waiting,
(luckily i brought my psp if not, i'd be a grumbling jackass.)

i got the tickets!!

check out the glow of the letters!
i love the magic.
kenangan terindah: translation
as requested, here is the english translation to this song.




i am weak without you.
i am vulnerable because,
the love i've lost from you is the only thing that was able to compliment me.

as long as my eyes are wide open,
even until my heart stops beating,
i'll still be able to think of you.

from you,
i've found my life.
for me,
you are my true love.

oohh..

CHORUS:

if there was anything written for me,
it will be for the best of you.
and i will turn you into the most beautiful memories of my life.

however, It won't be easy for me to leave these footsteps of my life,
that have been engraved for eternity as the most beautiful memories of my life.


this is the unofficial translation of course,
done by my mediocre indonesian language.

i'm so gonna sing this alot in kbox.
liz, kalo ada yg salah bilang gw ya!
birthday post again
a picture speaks a thousand words.
so, technically, i have 6 thousand words here.

let them and their caption speak up for the birthday boy.









and i think it works out fine.
happy birthday, yongwhee.

talk more
sing more
respond more
reply more

aiya, you know what you need to do
a pilot's birthday
the greatest pilot can't even hold a candle to you.
for all the e3 will know,
your jet travels at the speed of light.

the most irritating bastard is definitely you.

but you were that maniac who gave me tight slaps when the simplest science formula could not get inside my head.
but of course, the method worked out fine.
for that, i thank you.

here's prove without cheating:
the ohm's law states that the current flowing in a metallic conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference applied across its end, provided the physical conditions(temperature) are constant.

i've caught you crying over girlfriends couple of times. once, at our school's carpark bending over and weeping because xinhua broke up with you.
but what's the deal?
boys can cry too.

i've seen you at certain funniest moment.
few years back, remember the encounter at cineleisure?

i hope the picture works to refresh your memory.
a little help here.
august 16th, to be precise.

okay, dude.
i think that's enough.
to sum up for the little post.

the usual cake to go along and
finally,

happy birthday, weijie.
a new list to play
there's a new playlist on the page, please check it out.
do let me know which song do you like best.

i do like the first, second and seventh.
actually, i like them all.






another coming soon: rec 2
familiar looking poster?
behold, zombie fans.

i'm pleased to inform you that there will be a sequel to the spanish zombie horror film, rec.

a little freshening of memory to those who can't remember?
think quarantine. its the movie with hand held camera shots, done in point of view of the cameraman running up and down a building infested with blood thirsty rabies infected zombies.

from the last movie, everyone died.
aww..

now in rec 2, a SWAT team is sent in to annihilate the remaining infected. however, what they didn't know is the nature of the virus and worst still, the numbers of the infected.

check out the trailer though,
i've found one in english version.

fireworks memory

they were releasing fireworks at dhoby ghaut yesterday.
listening to JJ's 'xiao jiu wo', it reminded me of something sweet.
unimportant things
i've got various things to say, but they're not really important.
i'm gonna list them anyway.

congratulations, mr. susilo bambang yudhoyono.
you're the absolute choice foe us, indonesians.
even though i didn't vote.
indonesia also boleh!


i've been spending most of my time in front of the television,
doing nothing but stare at the flashing, entertaining images behind the screen.
it's no wonder they call it magic box, with the stuffs they can do.
i love tv.
then i realize, i'm only a few inches away from being a couch potato.


i must applaud someone's post on certain topic.
i've read your entry, my friend.
truly admirable.
i gotta admit my hands were joint repetitively in melodious unison.


i was gonna jog every morning at dusk.
then again, things were not very supportive.
i gave up due to the usual morning laziness.
i guess desire to sleep far overrides being healthy.
come on, dude. NS is coming up.


my parents have been coming to visit.
this time round, they brought the full set.
so, i'll definitely be busy until friday night, latest.


my long break is finally ending.
i gotta start something useful soon.
or at least something planned for the holiday.
review: biohazard degeneration

as we have seen, its titled biohazard: degeneration or resident evil degeneration. this is the first CGI film capcom ever released based on the resident evil game series.


the film is set on 6 years after the raccoon city incident, t virus infections once again resurfaced on earth, but this time: harvardville.

our favorite survivors return as main casts, leon and claire accompanied by various leads, to get to the bottom of the sudden virus outbreak.


overall, the film gives you enough zombies and gunfire to stare and of course, a last boss to boot. the story-wise is good, but not as good as the rest of the zombie series.

fans should totally catch this. let me know if you wanna, i have the links.

rating: 6.5/10
the rewarding post
eh alyza. since you have been responding to my tags on the board.
i thought i'd give you a little reward with this rewarding post!

meet this bule!
i think you'll like him.

here's him in a nice suit.

here's him, gondrong.

here's him with glasses on.

here's him with those killer eyes.
(god, i gotta have those)

and he's our one and only,
jon mclaughlin!

if its like this or that?
one day, you woke up and realized you were late for an appointment with friends. you reached for your mobile and noticed 3 unread messages demanding your current location.

how do they sound like?
a. where are you?
b. you are LATE.

if its a, then good. you either have very nice people as friends or you rarely turn up late.

if its b, then not very good. you must have been late all the time or very long time. do something about it, dude.

familiar right? i know its hard to declare your lateness, but your friends deserve to know. state a logical timing of how long will you take to reach.
don't say 'i'll be there in 15 minutes' when you know it's gonna be mission impossible.
always give a reply. please do not not bother like SOME PEOPLE I KNOW OF.

(to my defence and attack, yes. i have done that too. please forgive me, people.)



panic and anxiety enters. you quickly make a run-through of the morning rituals, fast but not your best. you gotta look fine before you step out of the flat.

is that what would you do?
a. yes.
b. not really.

if its a, alright. if you're a girl, fine. it takes time for a lady to get ready(oh my that rhymes well). the whole world knows that. if you're not, just put on your 3 piece clothings and GO.

if its b, good. you learn how to appreciate the lateness. kudos! run along now!

still familiar? i know you gotta look good. but come on! you meet your friends alot. i'm sure they would not mind your hair spiked up or not. unless you're a different person with different hairstyles.
(i don't do hair and extra stuff. so it's not really a bone to pick)



you are by the road side, to your left is that usual patience taking bus stop and to your right is the perfect spot for taxi.

which side would you turn to?
a. left of course!
b. right then.

there's no definite answer to here. it all depends on the situation. if you're filthy rich and has all the money to spare, by all means take a cab.
another reason is of course if you're planning these:
- a time constraint activity(movies, plays)
- you're meeting someone important(love of your life? you go, buddy!)

if you're not planning to, then tell your friends again how long will you take to get on the bus and reach, not just getting on.



unless you have not been following, you'll get by that unfateful mistake. i'm sure your peers will appreciate all that more than a 'sorry, i'm late! coming soon!'

to wrap up, i must compliment responsible people like peilun. the world needs more samaritans like you!
movie marathon-ed so hard
movie marathon is known as well you know what it is.
hbo was pretty generous last night, it gave me 3 decent movies in a row.

round 1: enchanted

a happily ever after in cities of new york. perfect combination of love, song and fairytale. makes me feel 'ahhhh..' and realize i don't have a girlfriend.


round 2: cold creek manor

a psychological thriller, about various murder crime hidden in a beautiful house. it was rated well, but i got lost at some part. it must be the constant nicole-novia noisy ranting.


round 3: 28 weeks later

zombies. blood. apocalypse. rage virus infection spreads through contained sector in great britain all the way across europe. too much death for me too handle.

apparently there's gonna be a 28 months later.
megan fox: man or no man?

what on earth is happening to this world?
first, michael jackson passed on.

now, megan fox was a man?!
according to various google results, it was reported that megan fox was born mitchell reed fox and underwent sexual reassignment surgery.
here's the video and article link!


i know its absurd but apparently this piece of news has taken millions of guys by surprise.
woohoo right?

my opinion?
i think that was crap. just listen to her voice!!
well, i could be wrong too. who knows?

if its true, then kudos to megan fox for the perfect job!
