hilarious video on what might have happened when eve first met adam:



and this is kind of funny:



enjoy.

to all the hardcore LV fans out there check out the latest products on sale:




anyway those are the pigs from china. it's just sad to see that businesses nowadays are just out for more monetary benefits. long gone were society culture, ethical issues and so on.

some more funny commercials to share:



*in case you are not sure what the ad is about, it's from an insurance company.



suddenly had an urge to go out and walk around (more likely because of unforeseen situations). feeling a little uneasy on the supposedly outing tomorrow to watch transformers. nothing is finalised now...especially when we are watching it during the weekends.

sometimes i can't help but feel helpless on the way i think. not much people's (of i know) mindsets can assure that i am on some channel...but a lot of my friends around me seem to contradict myself at times...

everybody has to convince themselves that their idea or action is right at times. but sometimes abusing it leads to personalities like those i met before. maybe it actually leads to arrogance.

maybe i am just too worried that i might turn into a pest in others' eyes.

some of you might have already seen this weird guy dancing around different parts of the world in the recent visa advertisement. this guy is matt harding and this idea was originally his:



and he recently had a conference (which i wonder why) to rebuke on comments online that this whole thing was a hoax:



almost another sleepless night yesterday. yawns.

had quite a while rolling around my bed thinking...as i thought they don't really have what will attract me at the first sight. am i really drawn by their personalities? or i just becoming the bastard looking around for short term replacements? i strongly urge anyone close to me...please stop me if i were to ever turn one. haha. because i have never thought the idea of FAG (F*ck And Go) is wrong.

looks like my brain never goes idle. keeping myself busy might be a good idea to keep myself out of trouble for long.

either way i have decided to just keep it as it is now...since i am the stupid kind of guy in this kind of stuff. the so called time limit i gave myself so is still damn long...heck those test water stuff or whatever. not till i get out of my hard shell.

i was supposed to go out with my classmates and watch transformers today but too bad...i had agreed to go watch that with another cliq before they asked me.

oh god this is really funny. try to watch this from the start and i am sure the shock/laughter comes towards the end of the video:



and this:



oh well.

just went out with my friends to settler's cafe at smu.

i got the message only when i woke up from my nap and was quite late when i reached. had our orders for dinner and started playing games. haha it's been quite a while since i had fun with my friends.

there was this particular pair game that tests the "telepathy" between the pair. basically the pair each will have to write down a number of words that are related to the given text or picture within a time limit. after that same words that are written down by each other will determine how many steps will the checker (representing the pair) will move on the game board.

oh well too lazy to write it all down but guess you get the point. so on my other side two good buddies (or "gay partners") against my female friend and me. somehow we were able to keep up and with the guys in the other side of the table.

we played that for like...a hour near two? haha. we were stuck till we played in a way whereby each of us write down only a word and if any pair wins they will be winners (because all of us are just a step away from the finishing line).

in the end we won! haha. was kind of estatic with the win from the last minute pair up.

test test water...

went out to queensway shopping centre with my friend. as usual my picky attitude got myself nothing much in attention with...except for a t-shirt with some nice prints on it. but because that is a designer t-shirt (or rather that's what the owner says), it's kind of high on the price. $32/pc i remember. guess the owner turned desperate upon seeing our reactions, so he offered us 50 plus for two pieces. ah things seem to get better...but my friend can't find a design he liked...too bad then.

i wanted to have a second look at the springfield pouch i was interested in so we got onto a bus to orchard. moved around tangs, far east, isetan and even cineleisure. isetan was selling the pouch at a discounted price and that really tempted me. but my friend raises doubt on its security...especially when i am gonna hang it on my back. another question is how often am i gonna use it...but i thought it was ok as i will bring my psp, mp3 player and holga camera (hopefully soon) around often. argh i am still pondering at this moment.

saw a pair of converse sneakers that are discounted at 20% off- a price which is not found in other places as we walked around for options. so when we decided to go back, tangs is closed. 5 plus in the afternoon. why? a stupid singtel private event. (so i have to buy it later and go serangoon with it... -.-)

i seriously need a "finance minister" next time...quite worried by my spending habits nowadays. kind of afraid that i am already having the mentality of using the wrong stuff to attract the wrong kind of crowd.

long yesterday out with a guy who is having his first sleep in tekong peacefully (hopefully).

waited for a god damn hour for my friend at dover mrt station. was very pissed about it. but that was a trivial issue...just hope that he wouldn't do it again.

went to far east to have subway for lunch. next was kinokuniya to look for holga cameras.

totally fascinated by the sample photos taken using holga cameras...especially that you can use different lenses for effects (e.g. fish eye lens to have black corner effects on your photos) or do something to your negative too. but the prices shown in kinokuniya was quite a turn off for me. most of the average cameras start at $100 onwards.

then we went to some shops around orchard/somerset before we left for city hall to meet up with the soon to be bald guy.

friend was interested in t-shirts (like me) so we went to the peninsula shopping centre (not the burmese fortress) upon my suggestion. in the end we got two tees. another guy joined us from work but he left for another job soon after. interesting.

crossed the road to the burmese fortress. first stop was the so called "chamber of secrets" where i was looking for shoes among hundreds of them (imagine a small shop with hundreds of shoes stacked everywhere inside and the interior is so quiet that it's like a chamber...thus the name flashed through my mind and there you go. chamber of secrets.).

then we looked for more cameras. all the way to bras brasah area for more holga. haha. but again the prices aren't far from what we saw.

we were all very hungry and yet spent quite some time to decide on where to eat (we do have tight budgets at times). finally we reached just acia at suntec to make sure our stomachs were filled. fun dinner moments with stupid jokes and lame actions as usual.

friend left for something else. so we stayed on for a while before we had a walk around suntec then travelled back home. saw a quite a nice looking pouch in springfield but i was hesitant on purchasing it- because of price? a little. ($59) how i wish my classmates bought me this instead. haha.

so tempted to buy a cheap holga camera now and start snapping. i got this good deal from my friend: http://khloee.livejournal.com/13911.html#cutid1 (you can get to see some of the shoots taken by the owner in it too)

during the trip i suddenly had this idea of having a holga camera for my very future honeymoon trip (other trips too but that was what came through my mind first...which is pure dreaming.). i guess this can be a very good leisure hobby for me. but i doubt i will go beyond holga i guess. no matter what there are somethings which digital cameras can't replace.

"I will either get what I want, or learn what I need to in order to get what I want or better the next time."

they say that drama depicts life. i say music depicts feelings right to my heart.

i saw that warning sign. i let it go too easily. i accused and grumbled.

but i chose to crawl back to my bed of knives.

happy birthday.

maybe i shall buy something to please myself a little and let me forget about my tired legs and bad sales.

"you are light."

i am sorry clubbers but to me this is what clubbing really means:



basically i have only been going out with my friends for the entire week...spending money like farting. luckily i am gonna work for the next four days to try recoup my 'loss'. why did i say try? i have already had some items in mind to buy even before i start work- pair of converse sneakers, some t-shirts, real unique shirts, bermudas...argh. and stuff for ns.

i will really need to buck up on my less than impressive way of managing my finances...even though i can more or less be able to support myself financially but i am clearly aware that it will never be enough for me in the future. at least with my projected expenses for life in university.

either way i have zero mental preparation for tomorrow. maybe i must brain wash myself for the rest of the night to have myself in the promoter mood by the morning.

got addicted to coldplay's music these few days...the music is clear and the lyrics are deep. it just doesn't bore me to keep listening to their songs like the scientist, warning signs and a rush of blood to the head...even when i am writing this post now. haha.

again i will be in suntec at friday. second time. wonder what will the weather be for that day...what will i feel on that day too.

"it loses its meaning, eventually."

had some job training for the upcoming IT show from 11th june till the 14th. my friend and i were kind of late (the truth is we were having our kaya toast brunch at the basement when we were supposed to meet them up) to meet up at the central at clarke quay.

quite surprised it's a crowd for this brand this time. and most of the would be promoters are guys...except for just one girl who is...well let's move on shall we?

so we went up to the office building (which seriously has a hotel-like environment) and the office...gives me quite a different impression.

received printouts, sat down and here they go. on my left there's two new noobs who's gonna be our colleagues for the upcoming four days (and most probably die in our hands) and the right of my friend were a bunch of monkeys who claimed to be the experienced promoters for this brand. why would i call them a bunch of monkeys for no reason?

simple. while the presenter kept emphasising on the importance of asking him questions if unsure, there this particular guy who asks seriously brainless questions (self defined: questions generated because you are lazy to think it through) and the rest of his friends making noises here and there...

got quite bored and decided to go with my friend mid-way during the presentation (he has a medical appointment to attend and "so do i"). so i escaped from boredom and he has to go off to outram park. so i got the other friend coming out of his house to meet me asap while i have a trip to funan for some memory sticks prices.

and i concluded that i should wait for the arrival of the IT show.

then i went to the two peninsula plazas (didn't really give a damn which one is the plaza which is the mall but i know one is burmese infested even during weekdays and the other seems more normal) to look out for t-shirts, shoes and short pants...quite disappointing i guess. the only thing that got me interested was a pair of bermudas with not well done fabrics.

so i walked around with the other friend around the raffles city shopping mall while waiting the other to finish up his check up. AGAIN i couldn't see the esprit bag i saw at tampines days back...franchises in singapore seriously are not product sync.

went to orchard and meet up. walked around (with nothing that i got interested in), chit chatted, ate and went back. kind of fruitless shopping trip in the end.

not in a mood to work. too many lazy bones in me i guess. or maybe i am focusing too much on what to get for myself...haha.

a great day at johor!

i was quite pissed off in the morning because my mother sort of lied saying that we will get back by afternoon. and it got more irritating when we were stuck in the sbs bus along the way to the m'sia checkpoint.

but the feeling got off very soon as our uncle picked us off for lunch.

so we arrived at this small (but luckily air-conditioned) shop that sells snacks confectionery etc. but i heard that their soon kuey is nice so all of us got quite a number of each flavour to try. oh they are quite nice. the skin is thin enough...though the filling is not as much as compared to those sold in sg...

next we went to a kelong! quite anxious along the long trip to some deserted kind of wooden jetty.

so we reached there...walked on the wooden planks (not a row of nicely placed ones but sparsely spread with spaces between each other) of the jetty...climbed down a few steep steps to the floating platform and onto a small boat.

frankly speaking it was my first time to such a place so i got nervous at the start. but after i began to adapt to the floating platform and seeing my big sized uncle getting more nervous of not balancing himself and fall, i began to ease.

so we spent quite a while and effort to get ourselves onto the boat and set off to the kelong. very short trip of only a few minutes.

we boarded up the kelong (after a short while of alighting everybody up) and...quite nice is what i can say about my first impression. no matter what it was my first time so many things look interesting at that moment- the scenery, what those guys (my uncle's friends) do at there etc...

they are actually growing mussels (of a few kinds) for sale. they are also selling some baby mussels (which actually don't come with the shell). unfortunately they just started out this business and the first batch of mussels were only down in the sea two months ago (upon asking i was informed that mussels are ready for harvesting only after six to eight months).

scenery wise it was so so...at my back it's m'sia so in front of me it's sembawang and its shipyards... -.-
and it was quite hot even with some sea breeze at the middle of the afternoon.

so an indian guy was getting ready to fish with young mussel flesh as bait...two chinese guys doing some maintenance...my uncle and my mother soaking their legs in the sea water while i paced around looking at the scenery and somewhere which is cooler.

after we went ashore we went to a shopping mall (in which we bought some food and i got a t-shirt) and then dinner.

a small looking stall opposite a shop house at the corner. seems normal (with some flies) but my uncle recommended it for their satay, nasi lemak and rendang chicken. so we had a try of all of it and...oh man. the rice is full of fragrance...the rendang chicken is not spicy yet tasty with its hard to forget rendang sauce...and the satay. we got ourselves chicken and mutton (too bad i can't get myself beef when i am with my mother) satay as side dish. i dare to say that's the best i have eaten in my life...especially the mutton sticks. let's just compare...you know those typical sg mutton sticks? small sized, hard and dry ones? as compared to bigger meat fillings, very fresh (the charcoal was just done when we reached), juicy and soft. it's not burnt badly despite the habit of malay vendors grilling with strong charcoal flames; only with some soot here and there so i can say because of that the mutton's tenderness and juiciness is wickedly retained. paired with a plate of satay sauce...heavenly.

i ordered a cup of some tea (which i have no idea what it's called in english) by the suggestion of my uncle. it has literally three layers of ingredients when served- the top layer being the tea, at the middle condensed milk and lastly some thick brown sugar solution at the bottom. oh that's nice too. it's just like...iced milk tea with more fragrance brought by the brown sugar. but it doesn't get you thirsty after that. drools.

well at least today was not badly spent.

things to get:

-digital watch for ns
-shaver
-any other ns related/recommended items
-cool sony mp3 player! (optional though)

when the tvs first came out entertainment grew to further heights. so are the artistes.

many entertainment companies are eager to hire artistes for various reasons and aspects of entertainment. as there were often shortages of such talents, scouts from various companies are always out to keep an eye on any possible options for grooming and nurturing.

you are counted lucky in if you were one of those scouted. but does that bring you stardom right after this? hell no. it's just the start of all the hard work and determination to stay in the industry.

so now with HD tvs just out and right after that LED tvs as thin as my finger emerge. speed is everything nowadays. the same applies to entertainment too.

big entertainment companies nowadays are those with big money, big stars. so perhaps the big gets bigger and over shadows the small sooner or later.

so you want stardom? which kind of company will you join?

on the other hand the big boys in the industry will also want to get the best diamonds out there. somebody who can create an instant impact. from the start. how about the end? who cares?

so what gives the supposedly big star an instant impact on the public? first impression of course. if that is accompanied with lots of advertising and packaging i am sure many will be hooked. so basically if you have the so called "x-factor" (which can mean anything), then the big boys will have the cash to spend on you.

it's quite surprising too that amidst a small bunch of those who still work hard to get popular, the majority of them are still embraced by their die hard fans ever since that impact hit on them. hard work wise it's quite debatable but i am sure their fans wouldn't really take that into consideration at all.

went back to the poly campus for the last few times to meet up with my classmates attending the graduation ceremony. kind of draggy at the area outside convention hall and the weather was quite hot.

took them quite another while to decide on another place to lunch out later (because the initial place set was quite expensive to some people). then we set off to marina square's seoul garden for lunch.

well i can say the atmosphere at first wasn't that great because of late guests and some emo faces...but when the food is brought i guess (at least for my table) it got better. so we eat and eat...

meal's done with and some of them had to leave early...so left with a bunch of guys who decided to go lan gaming all the way till 10 plus. end of day.

i don't know why but i sometimes feel quite out of place yesterday...

three years flashed past...more or less i think it's kind of wasted as usual...just like the secondary school days. oh well. hopefully i can find a proper part time job soon.

so i was going to board the lift at my flat just now when this old lady asked me to let her in. she said ninth floor even asked me which floor do i stay. then she requested me to accompany her to the ninth first.

i thought the job's over but she said no that isn't her flat. she then asked me to accompany her to go down a floor to have a look. i was sure she isn't my neighbour upstairs but i still let her have a go. i decided to call my mother at the eighth floor (she did help an old lady look for her flat and i thought she might be the same person). luckily she remembered where the old lady stays and i suggested to bring the old lady over to the correct flat.

and i knocked, knocked and pressed the bell to nobody in the flat. with the old lady saying that she doesn't have the house keys, she suggested that she will go down to the senior citizens' area and wait for her son to pick her up.

along the way she asked me which floor i stay twice, whether i wanna have her packet rice twice, what floor is this many times (at different floors) and thank you for many times.

the last thing i can help her is to put her with the folks around here and let her wait till her son comes to look for her.

quite a long day out.

had to do all the crap in my house until my friend "saved" me from the depths of hell when he asked me to go out first.

already had the desire to go to far east to look for tops or what not...so "escaped" quickly to orchard to meet my friend.

quite disappointed by what i could find or see. i really wonder the problem lies on the quality of the stuff sold or i am too picky for anything...the whole 2 hour plus trip the only item i saw was a glam black pair of zara shoes. $89.90. Let me observe the situation during the great singapore sales then.

went to bukit batok later to meet some poly classmates for friend's 21st birthday bbq. everything was still ok though we didn't have much for that bbq. feel kind of weird because we had to leave for jurong point before the cake cutting celebrations took place.

so we had to leave to jurong point to find another friend to buy/get her the birthday gift. as we left a little late to get her a bag from espirit. spent quite a long while to decide between a really average bag and another slightly above kind of bag. i had to ask them to vote before we got an answer. before the staff really get irritated by our last minute efforts.

met our friend up and decided on some hong kong restaurant to have a simple meal. along the way...now to think of it...i am kind of like a support. on one corner we have a couple in the cliq...one corner we have another classmate who just joined us then left shortly...then 1 guy trying to share (and maybe to gain attention?) his ns experience with the rest...or maybe specifically to the girl he likes...

so that guy talk and talk...and his usual habit of blurting anything out became his dead spot...again. blurted something on the couple were kind of unsettled on and the girl's face changed all of the sudden. they are actually going to genting with the girl's family soon and yet the guy doesn't want the girl to accompany him to the ferry terminal for bmtc...because he might miss her badly? huh? i am a little blur on his reasons though.

so the atmosphere turned to the down side for a while before we decided to foot the bill and go home (it was a little late too).

"没有100分的男女朋友, 只有50-50的情侣."

when i listen to various songs sometimes it's interesting that i would have the deja vu feeling from it...

was listening to the old mando-pop songs in my library when that feeling came back again. i then realised that it's not deja vu...i have just put a right song for that exact moment.

birthday girl's bbq tomorrow! kind of look forward...at first. but upon hearing that some of the guys are not going i am starting to cross my fingers...

kind of surprised that the organiser of the bbq is the exact birthday girl...but she's getting a ipod touch!

...there i go again.

hopefully i will watch all of these movies asap...

blood
up

it's been a while from my last post. been a little busy from last friday onwards...so sort of trying to rest (a lot) and catch up with the stuff i have to do.

worked for a three day IT bazaar thing in CK Tangs last friday. Everything went quite smoothly...just that the event perhaps didn't turn out to have a very good response at the start...

at first the event was opened only to visa card holders (was it platinum and above?)...but the crowd response...maybe it's because it's only a friday afternoon...

so the privilege of having such visa cards mean that you are entitled to shop in this allocated area and buy various IT products with discounted prices (coughs and clear my throat) using your card.

soon it was 6pm and they suddenly opened to the public. so for the second day and third day the guys from Tangs have to open up to the public with the discounted prices to everyone...

-.-

i wonder what will those card holders who bought something on the first day think of this. perhaps they wouldn't care much about that too but...oh well. this issue is very debatable.

the good thing was that my friend worked with me through those three days. we chatted and joked around quite a lot (because we don't have to promote at all unless approached by customers) and didn't really care about the sales...

but through him i was able to reflect on quite some issues and my plans after ns...hopefully we can keep in contact in the near future.

next thing...i should say is a piece of good news. one of my good old friend (that same guy who fancied that girl bound for further studies at UK) is starting think properly at least...haha. majority of the praises should go to the club cliq he is close to now...they really discussed the relationship with the girl with him and has more or less been persuaded before he approached boss character (and that's me! because i have already told one of the guys beforehand that i will be the bad guy for this issue) for advice.

well i don't have to say much to let him understand my point. though he complimented that my opinion is on the general scope of the issue instead of pin-pointing the details, his personality flaws etc. which helped him more but i feel that if he doesn't accept the details then he couldn't have seen the bigger picture i tried to depict to him.

well i certainly think that it's a good start for him...not too late.

then off they went to genting for three days two nights! sobs...

so envious of them...but i rather save up now...even if it's just a mere S$150++.
but it also triggered me thinking on where to go for my uni graduation trip...hong kong? japan?

friends' birthdays coming up...one of them is receiving a ipod touch for her 21st birthday...cool.
one my friends asked me what do i want for my birthday and i was like...huh? asking me for my birthday gift? though i don't really like it this way but apparently nothing is on my mind now...

but my mother is right. it's better than they buying something that i might not like later. sighs. how i wish i can tell them i don't want anything. sounds stupid huh? after paying up for the rest of the gifts and not expecting something back...but i just don't like the idea of asking...

and how i wish i can really be that greedy to have that for my birthday gift...i can carry on daydreaming then.

feels like having a cold war with a 7 year old friend...feels kind of...bad.

frankly i have to apologise for making my comments harsh for something small...perhaps i shouldn't have picked on that...

on the other hand it would really be a waste for such a friendship to go fragile because of a small matter...argh i have no idea.

jun cheng you are right. if you don't hate that person you have to tolerate.

happy mother's day to all.

went out with my family early morning for brunch at dian xiao er (jurong point). along the way met quite a number of people...lucky.

the food was not bad but somehow it didn't give me deja vu...too bad though.

accompanied my mother to orchard to get shoes.

perhaps i am tired today or what...i feel robotic at outside. so bored. maybe another round of shopping will hype me up. haha.

oh gosh gaga's in my head...listening to her latest songs from the fame. let's go gaga people.
