cause they die young.

Of scummy man, 'bouncers' and ntuc fairprice.

will complete the post later tonight.

*old man was too tired to update his blog yesterday, im growing old! yay!*

so here goes, went for lunch with sherlyn, gina, hw, ch, yh, vin and angtao at Mad Jack's, that was the 3rd time we ate there even though the food sucks.

we had an interesting debate over lunch, ch in one corner vs almost the rest of us. because hw was smart enough not to engage in any sort of conversation with ch. ch told of his encounter with 2 burly men in suits and wearing shades ala security contractors. and he saw these two men outside a place of worship and to add on to that, they had their arms folded. so he decided to call these two men 'bouncers'.

then he went on to sprout nonsense and says that the people inside were partying inside which was rather insensitive ;). apart from that i mostly agree with what ch said. then he went on to talk about religion and hyprocisy. i find that it rather interesting.



that brings me to this point, lets say that if you were to hire a worker, which of these 2 would you choose?

person A is a dilligent worker who will do as he is told and is robot-like

person B isn't really the hardworking sort but is non-conformist and does things in an unorthodox way



somebody told me that i should tell the smokers in the class to quit smoking. in the 2nd last chapter of The Tipping Point is a study done on smoking and smokers psychology. i have forgotten most parts of it, but i shall summarise.

'eh dun smoke la, its not good for your health u noe'

have you tell a smoker that before, i think most of you did. well some of you told me that before too right? so do you think that smokers is unaware of the health risks that comes with the habit. everybody knows the health risks but why do smokers still smoke? the price of cigarettes increased drastically over the years.

when i first started smoking, a 20sticks pack of marlboro cost me $4.50, the price now is over $11. why do people still smoke? im gonna thrash some group of people but doing that may land me into trouble.

ok the moral of the story is, to help someone quit smoking is not to ask him/her to quit smoking but just to let it be.

*the smoking post isn't making any sense, i'll edit it later on when i re read some parts of the book*


and lastly, i'll end with a question. why smokers don't grow old?

i'll answer it in the next post.

Of Limerence, Broken Hearts and Heartbreakers - A Class 'A' Love Affair

I find the first week of school rather tiring, the TV is watching me by the time its 2130 and i would miss some parts of Crimebusters x 2. All the lecturers are great except for Marketing. And to worsen the Monday blues, her lecture is at 8am on Monday. What a way to start the week. Maybe its the training on Tuesdays that is sapping my energy. I no longer have the ability to recover fast enough, signs of aging :(

Is there a change of climate within the class? What are the factors contributing to this? Or am i the only one noticing this? Maybe its due to Ang Tao not being in the class any longer. I thought he is an essential component of the class as he has a unique personality that brings people together. A 'connector' as mentioned by Malcolm Gladwell in his best seller. Or there is more than meets the eye?

Someone mentioned that i should write about myself in my blog, but sorry to disappoint that i keep a separate entry that is for my eyes only and its not CSI-able.

Regarding the title of this post, don't dwell into the unknown if you don't have the capacity, the Golden Rule applies here. Don't do unto others what u don't want others to do unto yer.

Rock & Roll Queen has become an earworm for Mr Woo and some of the class. So i shall not change my blog song for some time.

Turning in now, finally kicking the football with the Yew Tee Park peeps tomorow.




i shall update more later tonight. do feel free to listen and sing along to the music cause 'its perfectly fine' to air guitar in front of your com when no ones watching ;).

due to popular demand i have revert back my blogsong to Rock n Roll Queen, and heres the lyrics so you can sing along and pretend to be a rockstar.


"Rock & Roll Queen"

You are the sun
You are the only one
My heart is blue
My heart is blue for you
Be my, be my, be my little rock and roll queen
Be my, be my, be my little rock and roll queen

You are the sun
You are the only one
You are so cool
You are so rock and roll

Be my, be my, be my little rock and roll queen
Be my, be my, be my little rock and roll queen
Be my, be my, be my little rock and roll queen
Be my, be my, be my little rock and roll queen

You are the sun
You are the only one
You are so cool
It's all so rock and roll

When The Sun Goes Down

Below is a short film based on the Arcticc Monkeys song, When The Sun Goes Down. This is the video that some of our classmates were talking about. The British accent that we could barely understand and their love for vulgarities.

Scummy Man Part 1



Scummy Man Part 2




RocknRolla

**Spoilers Ahead**

Very nice movie, definitely one of the better ones amongst the many mediocre movies showing in the cinemas now. My fav character would be Johnny Quid, a rockstar presumably dead by the public cause he is fucking cool. He killed the bouncer with a pencil, how cool is that. And in the background, or in the club itself rather, The Subways was playing Rock n Roll Queen. Awesome scene. However, he is staying at an abandoned house and is on drugs most of the time. He is also the son of Lenny, an old-timer of London's crime scene. The first 30mins was rather a bore, this is the part where Guy Ritchie is establishing the plot and developing the characters. I was barely surviving the fight with the z monster for that period. Untill the 'You Can't Kill Me, I Am Still Not Dead' Russians come into the picture. LOL. Johnny Quid is a very intelligent junkie and is the protagonist for the sequel titled, The Real RocknRolla. All the characters in the movies are great, but hopefully the storyline will be improved on in the sequel. It will be a trilogy with the final film called Rock n Rolla Suicide, however it will be based on response at the box office. So don't watch it online or download it or buy its DVD from across the causeway and catch it in the cinemas.



The British accent is cool, and i had always wanted to live in Britain. Its the most fucking awesome place to be. How i wished.

so met up with BK today,

met up with ang tao, alvin, gina, hong wei, mm, dan, qiongling at somerset. melvin made a guest appearance, 10 min cameo at the control station before he left. straight away went to cine to catch a movie, settled for burn after reading. ikhsan and his gf joined us for the movie after bumping into them at the ticketing counter.

after movie we walked aimlessly for an hour before procrastinating for another hour on what to eat for dinner. went to marina square for dinner at pizza hut. lol wtf. go so far eat pizza hut ;). CH then join us for talk cock session at TCC, he was rather tipsy after a glass of bailey's and was sprouting nonsense.

Burn After Reading

very very disappointing, coen brothers' previous movie, no country for old men was way way way much better. even with a heavywight cast, the movie is still a major disappointment, dun bother catching it if you haven. even for a movie buff like me ;) , i dun even noe wat the fuck was happening. character development, storyline was almost non-existent. you might wanna catch no country for old man, this movie burn after reading dun do justice to what the coen brothers are capable of.







the kooks latest single from their 2008 album, Konk.
Luke's vocals is so unique.


Dig Out Your Soul, Perfect Symmetry

Youth Without Youth, Closing The Ring, Rock n Rolla, Eagle Eye.

So many to listen to and so many to watch.



Current Topman Season => Babyshambles/Libertines Pete Doherty style , reads: checks, skinnies, plimsols, trilbys (or hat as some may prefer to call it), less his heroin addiction.



Going out with the Usual Suspects later on. Got Dawn Yeoh @ Taka 7pm.

My USB cable had been abducted. Anyone found it please text me.

less than a week more till school reopens, taken a sneak preview of the modules that we will be taking next semester. as im typing this actually just found out that the timetable is just out earlier today.

so here is the summary, we'll be having 8am classes for 3 days, mon, weds and friday. the most draggy day would be thurs lecture ends at 6. zzzzz. was glad to see that for some of the modules only 50% of the weightage goes to the exams unlike the previous sem cause i screwed up the exams and brought down my gpa. hope to significantly improve on my current gpa. i tink im gonna be late for alot of lectures and tutorials liao. die. monday is LECTURE at 8, cannot come late. i can alredi feel the monday blues, and its only 1.30am tuesday now. die.

liu hui wont be in BK any longer, good riddance! haha. jkjk. he says he is gonna try to get same timings as bk. so hopes that he gets to do just that on wednesday when he register for his modules. what would BK be like without AngTao?

liverpool remembers istanbul yet again

fernando torres once again more than justify his price tag and the hype that surrounds him by scoring 2 goals against man city to help liverpool draw level after going 2-0 down at halftime. then during injury time, the fat waiters godson as some 'fans' called him provided the winner to complete another great comeback by liverpool. despite arriving from the dutch league with a reputation of a free scoring striker dirk kuyt now is firmly established as a right midfielder and is one of RB untouchables with his non-stop running workhorse-like display week in week out. His rare goal last night came in timely as liverpool wrestle 3 points out of the match. i must admit liverpool were outplayed in the first half and had to go to the dressing room 2 goals down at half time. however, instead of giving in, they play with much vigour and was still believing that they could get something out of the game. they probably remembered istanbul, and after zalabeta was sent off, the tide was turned. liverpool however needed to play with 10 man for the last 10minutes or so as Skrtel was stretchered off in pain. it is confirmed that he will be out for months, nevertheless im sure Agger will be relishing the chance thats coming his way and regain his place in the starting eleven. the signs had been good so far this season, liverpool are bearing the hallmark of champions by winning even when they are playing badly. and the sign just shone brighter with this comeback , however it is still early days. hope to see liverpool at least maintaining their current position come new year. and rafa benitez had finally realized that he should not overdo his 'squad rotation' policy, like finally. zzz

i still cant find my usb cable so fug it.
