I NEED my angpows. NEED, not WANT. Anyway I realised that school stuff haven't been really smooth sailing since the start of this semester, from out-of-stock textbooks to wtf-are-you-talking-about core modules. Hopefully things will get better after CNY, I shall gauge my luck for this year by gambling. Who's on?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Btw, I will be off to Msia on the 16th till 17th. My dad planned a super short trip to Malacca since he has some unknown affiliated membership with a resort over there, so its like bu qu bai bu qu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went to buy cny clothes alone at Vivo last week. Was quite boring but yet interesting. You don't get to shop alone often. But everything was swiftly settled. Tip of the day: Mall directory- get all the shops that you're going to patronise. It made things a lot easier for me since I didn't have to waste time walking around aimlessly. I think that's the difference between guys and girls. And i got my shirt for a whooping 69.90. I got no idea why the inflation, but 69.90 for a shirt is damn ridiculous. Yes i know, if i find it expensive then i shdnt have bought it in the first place, yadayada. But trust me it was all the same for the rest of the shops i went, ok minus bossini and giordano.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aiya I don't want to type liao la. Need to leave for school already.

It was to promote our Impresario semi-finals. I almost died after the 10mins recording. Damn traumatizing. Most of the questions were spontaneous and it caught me offguard. Just glad that it's over. I even broke out a sweat while getting interviewed by the DJ, who later called me 'ke ai'. Dunno to be happy or what.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I can't understand why she was so high and excited about our event when i was speaking like a news anchor. Yes the comparison. She was like "Wow!"and i was like "Shi de. Shi de. Mei cuo". Like some chinaman. Great. But it was quite fun actually, but definitely weird to hear yourself on air.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other than my friends, my parents heard it also. My dad heard it while driving back home and my mom while working. My dad later asked me why is it that the DJ didn't say my full name Lai Siyan out and instead called me Siyan. If not he can haolian to our relatives about it. Something along the line of glory. I didn't know how to answer him but i guess a smile always works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Liang wen ying's concert and blood donation tomorrow. Guess I'll be rather busy tomorrow night, but always not busy with the right stuff.

The template was like Haiti in the making- major screwed up. so I decided to just play safe (and mature) and use the Blogger template instead of the previous one. So now you're looking at perhaps the most boring template, but clean nonetheless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;School has started and so has my boredom. Things haven't been going too smoothly for me in almost all aspects. Right now, I'm just hoping that it'll get better eventually. I actually typed out a paragraph on my recent meetups with diff groups of friends but i 'backspaced' it because I find it bo liao to update anyone on such mundane issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have tonnes of readings to do but I wanna go out and play. Ahh life. You can never get the best of both worlds. Anyway, can someone tell me what nehnehpok means? i know nehneh but not nehnehpok. Manda told me its a nehneh person since mean-pok= mean person. Javier told me 'pok' makes u think of something bumpy, like a hump, thus nehnehpok. I actually think nehnehpok are nipples. Then nehneh, the boobs. Maybe i should do a thesis on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway I'm taking Spanish now. I feel so exotic. Can do some tribal dance now.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9735683-3200238835047039577?l=urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/feeds/3200238835047039577/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9735683&amp;postID=3200238835047039577' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/3200238835047039577'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/3200238835047039577'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/2010/01/i-got-shock-when-my-blog-page-loaded.html' title=''/><author><name>xiphius</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346093871255764671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9735683.post-5294801508413901159</id><published>2009-01-25T02:02:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-25T02:12:35.049+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Okay.

Ok i dunno anything abt tech stuff so I guess its necessary to have a network for online connection no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And because I got so many readings and assignments to rush, I got no bloody choice but to bring a few along with me and hopefully complete it during the 7hours journey. And I think bringing notes for Chinese new year celebration is super anti-climax and to me, inauspicious as well. But I got no choice man. Argh. Better do it sneakily and not let my relatives find out I'm actually sucha nerd. Like light up the oil lamp late at night and study like how the famous poets did. Ahh... the serenity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In any case, I will be back om Thursday. So if theres any impt stuff ( like whos getting married or what), you can still call or sms me cos of auto-roaming services.

So I can roughly imagine myself growing wrinkles and white hairs in the 2nd month of the semester. New year new look.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually I got no idea why I'm blogging now when I got nothing to update at all. This is unless you guys wanna know how I spend my daily school life, queue up for makan in the ultra canned sardine canteens, trying to pay attention in lects while fightin back the zzz-monster, force myself to speak up and participate actively during tutorials, wait for bus, wait for mrt, wait for lrt etcetc&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just realised my life is like a dvd on auto-play.

And because I couldn't find anything else from the first page to the last page of skin views, I think I got no choice but to resort to using the plain old blogger.com skin. Shall give myself another chance. Anyway, Sue you k manda!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, next is the exchange program, my coursemates wanna go to National Taiwan Uni for the semester exchange and Han Ming asks if I wanna go Shanghai Uni with him for the exchange. Argh. And my mom is hoping that I can place Peking Uni as my first choice. So right now, I got no idea where to go. Luckily for chinese majors, we get places reserved just for us, so it makes competiton easier since we don't have to compete with the whole NTU unless the reserved slots got taken up by people with better grades than me. I was thinking of surprising my mom by applying for a malaysian/vietnam/indonesia/thailand uni. Im sure she will be pleasantly surprised by my little prank. Hahaha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the readings are already uploaded on blackboard, which means I have to start reading those boring and sleep-inducing notes.

Shall take some time to choose a simple and plain looking one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other than that, nothing much happened. Oh yah, a quick update on my modules ( although i got a strong feeling no one will understand the system except for manda), I'm taking Astronomy because I cannot get Bs803 during Add/drop, okay I know that the add/drop thingy is still ongoing, but my Astronomy module clashes with the Bs803 exam, so even if there are slots available, I wouldn't be able to grab it because the asshole system will just disallow it. So what's the point right. Aye, live with it. I shall place at least 5 modules on my waiting list for next sem's registration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, My 4days week has reverted back to a 5days week because one of the core lecture was not registered by the Chinese dept, so after much clarification, they announced that the added lecture will be held every monday at 1030, thus screwing up my timetable big time. I love you so much Chinese fac. Why can't I escape this freaking curse! I want my 4days week back! Enough of 5days already!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And because Ive already bought 4tickets ( amounting up to 100plus bucks) for one of my module ( Chinese theatre and performance), I will be hanging out at Esplanade quite often next month. I still canont believe why I was so dumb as to take up this module which is so cost-inefficient. 100plus bucks gone, more tuition assgns needed!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My bio clock is screwed up already. Like I tend to wake up late ( during no-alarm day) and sleep uber late (like around 3plus am). This is really weird, I've never experienced such screwed up bio clock before, and the whole thing worsened after the new year countdown which I only slept at 6plus after everyone left. I tried adjusting my sleeping hour but it's not working at all, like I will lie on my bed at 12am but eventually I would just end up turning and tossing until ard 2plus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now, my life is in a entire mess.

Okay although I'm not as hardcore as the add/drop campers whom i guess, pressed f5 frantically so that the magical figure '1' will appear beside 'Places Available', but i did put in some effort. like trying to pray that something miraculous will happen during the 10mins which i allocated it for clickingclickingclicking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the Add/drop period for today is going to close in another half an hour. So instead of wasting my time competing with the hardcore campers, I decided to blog about how screwed up my timetable is, and how I need to take up 4 major mods for this semester if all fails, so 3 cheers to our ntu registration system. Although its really maddening, but thanks ntu!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And i'm feeling very distracted because of the add/drop. I even dreamt about it. like how i got my module and woke up in elation, and followed by depression when i realised its purely a dream. Not only so, i cant go out to play or whatsoever because i cannot settle my mods, i cannot watch my kang xi lai le in peace because i'm afraid someone will drop the mods during the period, i cannot bathe and shit in peace also because of the same reason, i cannot find time to read the lect materials for general history of China too. So all in all, i cant do anything productive during this gruelling period, maybe except listening to songs and training my vocals while disturbing my neighbours with all the croaking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay thats all for now, theres a lecture tmr in the afternoon, so i guess i have to wake up earlier and start f5ing, hopefully i can get the mod before i make my way to school. So at least i wont be so sian. hahaha. i think even my fart will smell nice if i can my module. Serious. Let you smell too.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9735683-781716779654890469?l=urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/feeds/781716779654890469/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9735683&amp;postID=781716779654890469' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/781716779654890469'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/781716779654890469'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/2009/01/i-seriously-hate-doing-course.html' title=''/><author><name>xiphius</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346093871255764671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9735683.post-5764189710906509314</id><published>2008-12-31T01:27:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-12-31T02:13:29.000+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>突如其来想在此刻写写无聊的事。 现在已经是凌晨130分了。好快就要倒数迎接2009，欢送2008。心里不禁寒了一下，自己到底在2008做了些什么? 完成了些什么? 后悔了些什么? 总是忙忙碌碌，不曾停下脚步慢慢地思索。2008的喜怒哀乐一眨眼就赤裸裸地从眼前逝去，若在百忙之中不停下脚步的话，一定不会意识到自己早已不像2007的自己， 不会意识到自己的成长， 不会意识到自己思路的成熟，更不会意识到自己已经不是什么年少无知的小孩。我长。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;说实在的，我很害怕2009年的到来。怕，不是因为新的一年代表自己也跟着老了一岁。 怕，是因为自己没勇气面对任何的波折，怕自己会在某时某刻面对着自己的噩梦。我常认为世界根本没什么好怕的，认为自己年轻有本事根本不需要畏惧些什么。可是，婆婆的离去却给了我好重好重的一击，让我终于了解了自己的想法有多么幼稚、有多么傻。我怕。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;长大了，成熟了，懂事了，却对我来说是个无形的定时炸弹。多想回到从前天真的时候，根本不需要有任何忧虑、任何包袱，简简单单地度过人生，可是这一切却不然。现实生活早已不像童年时那么的简单、放肆、为所欲为了。我懂。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;快乐的事记不清楚，悲伤的事却牢记着。 怎么会这样啊?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;只求2009不要给我留下任何深刻回忆。我望。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9735683-5764189710906509314?l=urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/feeds/5764189710906509314/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9735683&amp;postID=5764189710906509314' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/5764189710906509314'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/5764189710906509314'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/2008/12/130200920082008-20082007-2009-2009.html' title=''/><author><name>xiphius</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346093871255764671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9735683.post-2337514022898980609</id><published>2008-09-10T23:39:00.008+08:00</published><updated>2008-09-11T00:47:50.223+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>晨，我在凄凉的沙漠中流荡。一望无际的太平线仿佛强调着我的孤单，嘲笑着我的空虚感。我却讽刺地在那断绝生命的沙床上悠哉闲哉，陶醉在那与世隔绝的世外桃源。常想，若有一天，沙漠辜负了我，抛弃了我， 我还能指望谁?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;朝，残酷的太阳把我缓缓牵起，但那金丝却又是如此地渺茫薄弱，不堪回首。颓废，我顶着那沉重无形的包袱继续前进。顿时，我恍然大悟。前进?

But when I was outside the toilet, this freaking bangla came out, or rather ran out from the entrance( maybe late for construction work). And because he ran out when i was just adjacent to him, He couldn't freaking stop because it was too late by the time he saw me. So guess what, he oh-my-ah-bu-neh-neh bumped into me and i screamed murder. That's not the main issue, his construction boots freaking kicked my toe and i almost strangled him alive, that was when he frantically apologized to me "Solli Solli~~!!" Irritating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So i attended the division orientation camp with a swelling toe and a swell on my cheek. I just cannot believe that I'm so suay. Anyway, smelly banglas aside, the orientation camp was quite interesting and meaningful as compared to the previous camps which I had gone for.  And I will no longer be a loner like Nat since I made some friends over there. And regarding "how's the girls over there?", I can only say, the SAME! so u make the guess yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lessons start tomorrow, finally a whole new jolly phase!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9735683-3313513629185480872?l=urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/feeds/3313513629185480872/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9735683&amp;postID=3313513629185480872' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/3313513629185480872'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/3313513629185480872'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/2008/08/im-not-racist-but-something-ridiculous.html' title=''/><author><name>xiphius</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346093871255764671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9735683.post-434151014353773687</id><published>2008-07-25T17:43:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2008-07-25T17:59:42.770+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height="300" width="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DMs-p5y6cvo&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DMs-p5y6cvo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="350" height="300"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;okay. this is definitely not porn although it kinda looks like it.

It's like the best-est tv series ever! To those avid fans of the oh-so-typical Channel8 family-theme drama, it's time for a new change!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything in the show is perfect(pun)! The actors and actresses, the theme and ending song by Shi Xin Hui and most importantly, the storyline! It's like different puzzle pieces forming the most out-of-the-world jigsaw! I shall force all my friends to go watch the show at least 5times. I don't care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm listening to the theme song now. I got the ending song as well. Both are super addictive. I shall also force my friends to listen to it 4865937times each so that we can have another common topic!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I packed my room and cleared lots of random letters/envelopes/application forms/business replies/'rough' papers. So now my room is so clean that i feel like licking it. Yum!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got so many theme parties to attend. I'm a socialite! I shall only talk to people with the status similar to Paris hilton. And give the inferiorities a fart at their faces( need to eat lots of sweet potatoes first). I'm so mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm still wondering where should i hold my birthday party? or shall i just have individual birthday dinners with the seperate cliques. Some of my close friends told me that holding a birthday chalet is not exactly a good option. Think preparation, think inviting relatives, think socialising, think long distance, think birthday programmes...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know. But I'm so lazy i might just forgo the idea and stay at home watch Youtube afterall. Oh and i need to get a haircut soon before Seok's birthday party. But i got no idea where to get a decent haircut or should i just stick to my $10 haircut at neighbourhood salon? I actually don't mind spending more on getting a new hairstyle ( not like i'm some jap idol or taiwan celebrities), but of course, it will be somethin refreshing lah. Any recomendations?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mom just gave me this wedge of papaya which has the weirdest colour ever. It's tomato-red in colour. I think it is because it's beyond ripe. I'm having papaya for supper. How interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay. I shall indulge myself in the savory papaya.

Yes, i'm unemployed, poor, and rotting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other than the frequent 'geek' and 'couch potato' obsession, I ventured into the new arena of lan-gaming. Yes, im finally an ah-beng! and by 'new', i meant i wasnt exactly into such mundane games where you were expected to exterminate your enemies through aimless fights. But ever since Peitang dragged me to play the $2/hr addictive yet unhealthy( think disgusting ahbengs, expletives, vulgarities, random spasm and unwanted yelling), Im actually half-hooked onto this rather old game, Command and Conquer. Okay, I shall spare u guys from the details. But i just wanna let all of you know that im proud to be ur ah beng-next-boor. lets center-part our hairstyle and dye it gold!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, matriculation is about to start and i'm still so new to the whole 'fastest fingers first' in ntu. Although i know its tonnes easier than nus bidding system, but regrettably, I still can't grasp the modules selection. Luckily, manda offered to help me in case I encountered any problems or have queries. So i shall start to bother manda to no end. Thanks manda!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's still so many tihngs which I wanna do before school starts next month. Like, ice-skating, kayaking, prawning? I don't know. I'm having mixed feelings- Despite being rather enthu that school is going to start soon, I think I wil miss the days where i can sleep till late, watch tv till late, surf net (not porn) till late. Argh. Never mind. I shall start being geeky all over again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And i guess those who previously owned a UOB debit card must have already received their new uob NOW card which comes in one fugly colour ever- blood red! that's a million times more unclassy than a pile of dog poo. Nobody wants to flash that in an atas fine dining restaurant. Grr. Moreoever, u actually have to pay an anuual fee from the second of thrid year onwards. hello uob?! why are you forcing us to pay for that piece of bullcrap? i love my TX card which obviously, has not annual fee or hidden charges whatsoever. Grr. I hate ugly designs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;okay i shall go bathe and meet javier for orgy.

You're not hallucinating. Yours truly is blogging after what seems forever! Haha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay theres so many things I need to update you guys ( or perhaps I'm just typing it for myself to acknowledge since the blog is almost completely covered by webs).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stopped working last week and just finished the media broadcasting course. Am glad I can finally rest and have fun ( whilst endless tuition lessons). But still, since i will be embarking on a new journey in weeks' time, I shall hence, make sure I get to play and play and play non-stop( yes the lack of vocabs. haha!). Lately, I've been rather troubled over so many random, mundane stuff. I guess I just need to relax and live today like there's no tomorrow ( too cliche cannot tahan!). Ive always feel that this particular phrase ' live today like theres not tomorrow' is just plain stupid. Am i supposed to withdraw all my money from the bank and start spending it like 'theres no tomorrow' as well? Weird.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, I visited the live-broadcast room and it was so interesting I almost wanted to call in to the DJs and tell them im so excited to be standing outside the room and spying at each and every of their actions. But alas, my coursemates told me not to be 'bo liao' since i can just enter the room during their break and tell them that directly. So i left the room with much regrets and continued touring around the news block. We met quite a number of news reporter and presenters. I wanted to tell the 10pm chnl8 broadcast presenter that my mom and i love her... but i forgot her name all of the sudden. So yea... have to wait till next time when i became colleagues with her. oh-so-bhb!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I'm no longer working and having night classes, I guess I should start mass-smsing my friends and arrange for meetups before sch starts. But i guess most of them are working temp right now. like 'i-need-to-go-on-diet-4548754857times nat', so i think i need to plan my weekdays properly so that I won't waste any time doing bo-liao stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, I finally received the ntu matriculation package together with the orientation week notice. Ntu has like the worst administration ever. Everything came in so late. Originally, I thought the O'week would be held on the end of july as stated on the website. But it turned out to be mid july instead. So right now I have no choice but to squeeze and push all my plans to an earlier date. We love last-min! Right now, I'm still contemplating whether I should join the orientation and prepare myself for unlimited saikangs duirng these 5days ( cos in arts stream, guys are like the super inferior ones since theres just so lil of us. Actually it might be a good thing also.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm thinking I shd create a new e-mail add which is less xiao-didi, like doom_shocker, or less poseur, like genesiac_sly. It shall be soemthing like lsy87? or sylai? I dunno. I was so lazy to come up with a proper email add until my broadcast coursemates asked for my email add. and I was like spelling 'genesiac_sly' for them. I think they were rather confused with the connection between me and this email add. haha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;okay i shall go watch my anime and be a geek. bye! wo ai ni men! ni men ai wo!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9735683-7091175721492082135?l=urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/feeds/7091175721492082135/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9735683&amp;postID=7091175721492082135' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/7091175721492082135'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/7091175721492082135'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/2008/06/yes.html' title=''/><author><name>xiphius</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346093871255764671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9735683.post-6242967587318524975</id><published>2007-11-23T14:16:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-11-23T14:19:11.842+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>命运就好比淘气的小女孩, 还真是会作弄人啊。 在仅仅的两天内, 我尝尽了人间的酸甜苦辣， 喜怒哀乐。 一切来得快，去得也快。 无法捉摸的光阴仿佛一场流星雨一样令人不知所措, 出乎意外。 就像荡秋千似的, 先是个喜事, 后是个丧事。&lt;br /&gt;霎时间，这一起一伏使我了解了生命是无常的，是无法掌握的，是残酷的。无奈，却不知如何是好。美好回忆就如夕阳一样的短促却又印象深刻，紧紧地烙在心中。若我能拥有时光倒流的月光宝盒， 我宁可删掉这一切的一切， 会到那令鹤鹊羡慕的人生。&lt;br /&gt;思念， 却不敢踏进那令我无法自拔的心境。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;难忘的笑容，难忘的慈悲，难忘的你，难忘得使我忍不住又为你掉泪。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9735683-6242967587318524975?l=urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/feeds/6242967587318524975/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9735683&amp;postID=6242967587318524975' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/6242967587318524975'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/6242967587318524975'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/2007/11/blog-post.html' title=''/><author><name>xiphius</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346093871255764671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9735683.post-3390407972122991645</id><published>2007-11-05T12:05:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-11-05T12:31:08.951+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>not too long ago. i was having some casual chat with my mom during dinner. and i brought up something dat has been a hassle to me since eons ago- my name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;obviously most of yal shd know how my name sounds like. theres no prob with the Chinese pronounciation. but its the english one i always cant seem to understand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;some pronounce as see-yen. si4-yen3. sai-yen. see-yan.. blah blah....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;frankly, sometimes i dun even know which one is the correct pronounciation since there can be so many variations. which at times caught me offguard when an english-speaking asked for my name. coz being non-chinese. they cant use the Chinese pronounciation as a guide. so usually i will hav to repeat umpteen times before they can get a decent one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;moreover, i hav to admit dat my name when pronounced with an english accent really sound quite bad. SEE-YEN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so often i hav to go thru those awkward times tryin to correct others and of coz to re-affirm myself. which im seriously sick of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;dats why i came up with this suggestion to get an english name for myself. preferably not those 'flamboyant' loud type. juz a simple one dat will make things way easier next time. and it seems dat now shd be a good time since i haven started my uni yet. let alone working. so i only hav not many cliques to inform them abt the new add.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and i dunno why i kinda like the word string 'AN'. probably becoz of my name siyAN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i did a simple search on names with 'AN' in it. and ta-da the results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adan&lt;br /&gt;Aidan&lt;br /&gt;Aydan&lt;br /&gt;Athan&lt;br /&gt;Aryan&lt;br /&gt;Adrian&lt;br /&gt;Bryan&lt;br /&gt;Dylan&lt;br /&gt;Evan&lt;br /&gt;Ian&lt;br /&gt;Ivan&lt;br /&gt;Ryan&lt;br /&gt;Shane&lt;br /&gt;Zane&lt;br /&gt;Zayne&lt;br /&gt;Zyan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;obviously there r more but i took away the complicated ones like Nathaniel, Alexandra, Donovan since im juz tryin to look for simple names with 2 or less syllables.

was abt to 'phew' in relief. i took another deep breath in when i realised all the system got all screwed up. so its like when u press the PLAY button, the volume will lower. and when u press PAUSE,

beyond bonkers and justify the intention i had to throw it out thru the window.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and apparently some miracle happened or my mom has amazing healing powers becoz while i was trying to demo the atrocity to my sis, it worked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i passed my mom the broken dvd player tdy and asked her to bring it to work.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

had lotsa fun although we didnt really get much chance to sing and had to suffer the horrendous vocals of the uncles down there. shall upload some of the photos here if only i looked glam in it. like i said, i always enjoy gg almost anywhere when theres company like them. the gals inclusive of coz. =))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hav many plans later at night. surprisely im really too free now ( im blogging dats why) but gg to be rather busy later. meeting seok and co for dinner cele later. den the budds wanna either go watch getai at geylang or go prawning. no matter wat, now everything muz be stamped APPROVED by my dear parents first. bye freedom hello curfew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;im worrying abt wats gg to happen later. since i haven called my mom and inform her regardin all the thingys happening later. so to prevent empty promises im telling everyone dat i hav to reach home before 10. so activites after 10 are out for now. shall call my mom later coz we still need to wake up super early, like 7 tmr morning to send my greataunt off back hk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sometimes ppl are juz too ridiculous to be true. like wat i told huixuan early this morning, to me, everything is abt obligation v.s. spontaneousness. friends who know me well shd know it better.&lt;br /&gt;u want me to do watever i dun like to do, fine i do it now. but next time be prepared for the excuses. or better, if u know i dun like it, dun even ask me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its all fair and square. face it, who wans to listen to the reasons, we only hear excuses. its much more convincing anw. you

make some for me the previous round. so this time, i demanded for 2 bags! i ate one bag in less than 10mins time juz now. yummilicious! v crisp and tasty! nat make more make more!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;went to the much-resented place - bk timah juz now. didnt reli wanna go but was thinking of acc pt to spend his remainin few days before he enlists. shun bian kill time while waiting for nat to finish her stuff. i always loathe gg to bk timah for one main reason- the food outlets there are not reli v appealing in the first place. plus my budds always end up playing pool or lan there. and i suck at both. so its like an obvious waste of time for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i know its teachers day and quite a number of my frens asked whether i wanna go back to my secsch/ jc. but hey, teachers were always nightmare for me. nths really pleasant except that we got halfday off for their celebration. and they were always getting loads of presents from their students already. those materialistic adolescent, they shd be getting 100/100 for midyrs as the present. so that the respective teachers wouldnt hav to stay back to give them extra lessons. rest time= a zillion times more precious than ur teddy bears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i really cant wait to ord. and i think im gg to harp on it for the rest of the 5 mths.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;im watching this show hosted by jeffwang and marklee travelling to foreign countries. and marklee seriously needs to brush up his command of english. its like disgustingly embarassing since hes like representing us s'poreans.&lt;div

type='text'></title><content type='html'>ok so im back and didnt keep my promise of blogging asap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i had sucha great wkend! it was so awesome i dun mind having it like once a month. of coz under sponsorship. u know, like how Adonis and Jeanyip came out with reality shows on beautifying urself when in the first place its not even any close to a decent tv broadcast. its a fuggin commercial! juz dat it lasts for an hour instead!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and tell me, how do they pick the contestants aka ugly ducklings? a panel of 3 blind mice? they shd pick me instead! giving me the perfect makeover is like giving themselves the perfect advert deal. non-price factors? geddit?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok anw i was randomly clicking on friendster profiles when i realised so many adolescent wrote ' i LiK3 h@vInggGg FuNnnN'. and this seriously triggered my regurgitation system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;first, the-smack-rite-in-front-of-ur-face, wat with all the teensy big caps small caps repeated alphas? i can actually imagine it. those morons, they will deactivate the caps-lock and start typing in the most revolting manner and while sitting at a login prompt, suddenly screeched " why wont it work? i'm typing my password correct! i could hav sworn its &lt;em&gt;abcdefg. &lt;/em&gt;why isnt it working?!". den proceed on sending emails with their f9standard asking for assistance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;second, i like having fun is like telling me i hate studying. seriously, who doesnt? like, " hi im pinkyangel1987, i like to have fun in my spare time. i'm too shallow to hav any real interests or hobbies, so im gg to play it safe and rattle on some random general trait, juz in case someone suspects me of having a personality or opinion of my own "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" hi im doom_shocker87, i created this nick becoz i think i hav mighty electrifyin eyes dat mesmerise any single woman in this world, or maybe juz becoz 'doom_shocker87' happens to be the most appropriate nick compatible to yours, followed closely by "dumbcockster1987".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yawn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;on saturday i went out tgt with my buds for the whole day. yes the whole day, we met up at the super ulu northpoint ( its in yishun in case its too ulu for u) and had lunch tgt. tok cock abit and ta-da its 5pm. 5pm marked anti-climax stage where we couldnt think of anywhere to hang out and spent the next 30mins thinking of somewhere condusive for chillin'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and as typical as it may sound. its PUBBING.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we went to this pub in pasir panjang where ce and pt are the 'regulars' over there. wasnt quite a sleazy place to begin with. a typical pub - pooltable, ktv, cards, dices. but somethin un-typical abt it was the bar-girls. they were really friendly and amiable. quite gdlookin the main factor actually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we kept drinking, singing, play cards, finger-guessing games, and other super random games like 'heroes' fist' and ' hai-dai-quan aka seaweed'. and before we know it, 2 and a half bottles were gone. and i was dead drunk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i cant even rmb vividly when i sang ' liang-san-bo and juliet' with one of the waitresses. yes dat bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but lucky for me, i didnt reach the point of no return, the point of VOMITTIN. felt v un-sober and nauseous. but got alot better after taking a bath when i reached back home. though i didnt slp well as i kept having vomit-inducing burps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and come to think of it, we actually spend 8 hours there, from 6 to 2. and the fun cost us ard 250bucks. 250/8 = 30 est. 30bucks for one hour. woah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but still it was superb! i really enjoyed it and am v thankful for my buds whom were the greatest company i could hav ever, ever find.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;speaking of which, i realised pubbing sessions with my buds always end way better than anything. yes even ur orgasm. =))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;till then!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'></title><content type='html'>ok im finally back blogging. didnt really hav the mood to blog ( not dat i finally do). im just too lazy to do anything abt it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;lately, other than the usual ns routine. i hvan had time to do anythin fruitful. been rotting at home and in camp. many yet lil things happened. or shd i say a few yet significant things happened. aiya i got no idea wat im talking about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;didnt really go out alot for the past few weeks. thus it explains this boring lifeless entry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh i finally thought of something worth celebrating. i finished readin my Harry Potter! finally! even though my sis pre reserved the book so dat we got it on the day of release itself. i wasnt as enthu as the rest of the diehard harry fans ( like grabbing the book hide one corner in the bookstore and started flipping the pages) becoz i still had some lib-loaned books with me. So i hav no choice but to finish those books first before i start this mega big seller.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;was actually quite satisfied with the entire storyline. but some things were not reli very well-explained due the fast story pace. so there was this point of the time i didnt realise one character even died until the finishing pages and had to flip back to backtrack but no evidence showed the scene of his death. i even had to go ask my frenz who hav the same sentiments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;other than dat, im really glad it didnt end up too anti-fairytale. it has been years even since the first book was out. and the harrypotter popularity has always been tiptop. when i finshed this last book . i actually thought to myself how time flies. i still can rmb vividly how i was rushing my sis to finish the first book ( Philosopher's Stone) so dat i can get my hand on it. and now, everything has come to a complete fullstop. like wat every fairytale is like isnt it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the flashback had been quite emotional for me. somewhat like i hav spent my adolescent tgt with harrypotter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh well. its like a phase in my life. i never liked reading. it was like a chore to me. but somehow the first book triggered my enthusiasm. so im actually quite thankful. haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i think i will update asap since this is not really a decent entry. but u cant blame me. nth has reli happened to me recently. maybe yal can do something abt it. like giving me a new plasma tv, a better computer, sponsoring my retail therapy sessions or juz simply cold hard cash. den i might juz get new bloggin ideas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok till then.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'></title><content type='html'>i was happily making sushi with my sis, trying to squeeze out a decent shape using the super-sticky jap rice for the ricebase, pondering abt perhaps i shd ask my mom to use the rice to stick-and-trap the lizards in our house. (yes dat sticky!) when suddenly some evil forces came occupying my untainted mind as i reached for the remote control and switched to ChnlU, thinking dat usually the primetime shows will be appealing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as ive said, evil forces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;smack right at our faces were the Campus superstar contestants competing to getthier asses back to the mainstream match. and holly mother of mozzie! i almost threw my sushi rice at my tv if not for it being so sticky dat it refused to fall out from my palm. i cannot believe it! their singing was( and 'is') worst than the parrots in the Birdpark!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;okay not dat my singing is any better, but for goodness sake, its on national TV! do not pollute our pure, innocent, unblemished minds with such horrendous, crow-pitched, super-offtuned shouting/whispering/ ' insert-random-pollutive-non-singing-related' vocab.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh wat did u say? their amatuers and not well-trained enough? they need more time to perfect the pitbottom/hopeless/beyond hopeless/ death-inducing pitch?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;wat abt i suggest something to u?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;start a petition and push this fuking show all the way to 1a.m in the morning right after some random 1980s non-horrific horror(oxy) series! that way, not only we can enjoy a peaceful and fulfillin dinner, the young amateurs can also get to perform on stage with their abhorrent singing 'talents'. wats better?! the sec sch kids wont hav to risk their results just to come all the way to support the hopeless shits! simply becoz they are not allowed to be loitering outside after 11 rmb?! curfew for the small paedophile-attention-seekers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and im skeptical abt the production as well. the judges werent even giving their opinions. it was simply juz grading after each performance ( wait i think 'after each repulsive clown act' would be better). i think there's a perfect reason behind it. dun be fooled by them. no no, they are not trying to hasten things up and cut down time. its clearly becoz, the judges were SICK of giving their own views! seriously, the contestants and producers are not even showing respect to the judges. excuse me, they dun spend years of experience juz to come and help you judge those repugnant, nauseating singing. i bet if the camera zoomed in and scanned each and every of their faces, there will be nth except jaded and morbid expressions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;seriously i think their singing just triggered my regurgitation sytem coz i suddenly feel like puking now. no, the canned tunas were perfectly edible and safe.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9735683-4400137464999227883?l=urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/feeds/4400137464999227883/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9735683&amp;postID=4400137464999227883' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/4400137464999227883'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/4400137464999227883'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/2007/07/i-was-happily-making-sushi-with-my-sis.html' title=''/><author><name>xiphius</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346093871255764671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9735683.post-747284323455274794</id><published>2007-07-11T20:25:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-07-11T21:42:16.915+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MLBHqqM6vQg/RpTdEVkOJrI/AAAAAAAAAGg/HPb5w2jC0d8/s1600-h/fn_5557.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5085932945786414770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MLBHqqM6vQg/RpTdEVkOJrI/AAAAAAAAAGg/HPb5w2jC0d8/s320/fn_5557.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;i realised dat perhaps since im so free. i shall make it a point to meet up with all my friends once a week, if not once every 2weeks!

from lai siyan to lao ch** bye! how vulgar yet creative can he/she gets! i totally got punked by dat anonymous. i wouldnt hav noticed it if my home page didnt show ' updated profile - 4hours time' when i was obviously in camp skiving and slacking, totally oblivious to such atrocity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;screw it maybe i shd start keeping a 'xiao gui' ( nasty lil ghost kid) and start cursing those who goes against me, starting from biting their own lips and tongues during their next sumptuous meal. or combine diarrhoea and constipation together, so whenever they wan to laosai, nth will come out of their asshole! serve u right!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;im so mean im scared i wont pass my TP becoz of all these cursing. forgive me pls. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5085932945786414786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MLBHqqM6vQg/RpTdEVkOJsI/AAAAAAAAAGo/_c03Z57iczE/s320/fn_4936.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh and i rented 200pounds beauty and watched it tgt with 2 cliques of frenz, and of coz another 1 stone 2 birds solution. but dats not the main point, i reli didnt regret renting it ( ok sounds abit exaggerated - its like only 2bucks). so now my next movie will be the upcoming HarryPotter. From all the previews and trailers, it definitely does look like a movie worth catching. just hope dat it wont be a disappointment like Fan4 or Ocean13 coz i realised nowadays followup sequels are not as great as its previous hoo-ha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and yah somethin else i wanna clarify. im so not wearing wat makeup please. its sunblock! coz recently im still undergoing the acne treatment and hav to put on sunblock when im out with my friends to prevent aggravation and adverse effects. and apparently some of my friends tot i was wearing some foundation or wat shit. erm pls im not dat metrosexual. stop accusing me. im just an innocent kid jumping ard the lavender field humming random lullaby rmb?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my pay is here! i so need to buy tonnes of random merchandise ranging from slippers to new specsframe. but i mean, of coz i dun mind yall approaching me on wat i want and i can specifically tell u my sizes and preferences. so dat u can get rdy my soon-to-be bdae present and dun hav to wreck ur brain pondering abt wat to buy. will grow more white hair u know?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;dun be stingy its like once in a year gift to the best person ard!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5085933418232817378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MLBHqqM6vQg/RpTdf1kOJuI/AAAAAAAAAG4/2O_rIWZCtv4/s320/fn_955.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9735683-747284323455274794?l=urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/feeds/747284323455274794/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9735683&amp;postID=747284323455274794' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/747284323455274794'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/747284323455274794'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/2007/07/i-realised-dat-perhaps-since-im-so-free.html' title=''/><author><name>xiphius</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346093871255764671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MLBHqqM6vQg/RpTdEVkOJrI/AAAAAAAAAGg/HPb5w2jC0d8/s72-c/fn_5557.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9735683.post-5404403558298178473</id><published>2007-06-30T12:23:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-06-30T13:14:23.326+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>recently, other than slacking at home, rotting in camp and other random stuffs, i did something spectacular. and its none other than... GSS rampage!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i went towning with nat fee jason the other day and had quite a good time looking thru stacks and piles of tees and jeans. although i didnt manage to cross out 'jeans' from my to-get list. but i still managed to get the tees i want. 3 tees 1 belt and a Pepperlunch which ive long yearnt for. so its 3 cheers to the prelude of my Mission GSS. now im only left with a pair of nice jeans with the correct shade ( fyi, ive been telling everyone the shade i want juz in case i suffer from mild colourblindness and couldnt tell the shades apart resulting in lifetime(exaggerated) regret).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now that ive more time for myself and my friends. i finally can start expanding and improving my social life. oh there was once i went out chill with ce and gang. den my dad came to pick me up at ard 12. when i hopped on his car, he immediately asked who i was with. den i told him my scout buds. and u will never expect his reaction.&lt;br /&gt;" huh. guys got things to chat with one meh. muz meet girls better wat"&lt;br /&gt;i tell u i was stunned for like 5 mins sitting in his car and didnt know how to reply such awkward and unexpected reaction. it was reli reli... unexpected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But its a good thing u see, coz my parents r actually very encouragin of bfgf r'ships. thats why i dun reli hav to hide this hide dat. moreover, next time i can hang out late with girls and when my dad asks abt it, i shall tell him yall the one who told me to meet girls. 3cheers to understanding parents~!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and having completed all my driving lessons, im only left with my test in july and 2-3 more revisions since theres still ard 1 mth to my test. so now i can relax and not think abt all these YET. shall spend my time enjoying and chillin out with my friends before stressin myself out with the tp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh i have to visit my granny more often from tdy onwards since my rich aunt is gg for holidays with the family and there wont be anyone except the maid taking care of my granny. and my aunt was telling us something super horrible and atrocious. Coz my granny was sick the other day and had to be on medication. and the maid was supposed to be taking care of all these. so one fine day my granny casually asked wat is this particular drug for. and u know wat the maid replied?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" eat already will mati" in a super nonchalant tone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i was dumbfonded and speechless when my aunt told us that. when my mom asked if thats the case, why not change her away? my aunt said somethin like she has been serving the family well for several years already and been very fillial to my granny. but dunno why the unexpected attitude. so they ruled out perhaps shes juz being playful since she knew my granny for quite long. but my aunt of coz dun take it as a joke. plus becoz of the environment, the maid already picked up Hakka la! walao even more pro than me pls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thats the main reason why my aunt hopes dat we can go visit my granny more often while their whole family is away. for a month i guess. she even encouraged us to stay-over. since its not reli safe for my sickly wheelchairbound granny to be left alone with the siao siao maid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my dad even happily suggested my sis gg over to stay with my granny for timebeing since she's having sem break now! hahaha! i laughed nonstop and helped my sis speak up. wat can she do there? she cant even chitchat with my granny coz she doesnt know hakka and the maid does a better job at taking care of my granny than my sis. hahaha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok alright with all the updates. i shall find somethin fulfilling to do this weekend. since everyone is so busy with 'dunno-wat'. maybe i shall act busy and start tellin everyone im occupied for today when apparently im laying on my bed readin random comic books. yawn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and more meetups pls! i know u wanna meet me. dun be shy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" oh i cant believe its happening to me... some ppl wait a lifetime for a moment like this"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9735683-5404403558298178473?l=urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/feeds/5404403558298178473/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9735683&amp;postID=5404403558298178473' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/5404403558298178473'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/5404403558298178473'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/2007/06/recently-other-than-slacking-at-home.html' title=''/><author><name>xiphius</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346093871255764671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9735683.post-172524650585552631</id><published>2007-06-16T21:43:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2007-06-16T22:24:07.012+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>i spent like 5 mins tryin to think of wat to write for this blog entry, and hav decided to just follow my flow of thoughts and dump whatever junk i wanna write as i go on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok. i haven been doing much lately. except for gg for my driving lessons which ive already completed last week. so now im juz plain rotting my driving skills until my test on the end of july. which speaking of which, i do hope ( like all the sane testees) dat i will be able pass on my first attempt. wait 'testees' sounds crude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and becoz im bored, bored, and BORED. i developed weird interests that seemed to be of no particular link to wat im doing. for example, i went to the library to pick up some books teachin the basics of massage. and going to webbies lookin for heartsutras and type-saved it into my hp so dat whenever im free, i can try to learn and memorise it. weird eh. i shall give my parents the privilege to be the first to experiment my skills. but somehow or rather, learnin massage is seriously so gay and... wrong! its like im aspiring to become some sensual massageur and hopefully able to 'upgrade' it to some erotic massage. but dats not wat im tryin to do. its pure, basic relaxing massage k. i mean, when i reli got hold of it u can actually ask me to do it for u! ok sounds wrong again. im an innocent sheep. meh~x2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and ive almost fulfilled all my movie cravings - potc, ocean13, shrek3, harrypotter and fantastic4. of which ive already caught the first 3.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for potc its alright la, its like rushin to tie loose ends.&lt;br /&gt;for ocean13, i prefer ocean11 still.&lt;br /&gt;for shrek3, its super funny&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok i know im not cut out to be a movie critic. shuddup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and i kept thinkin abt the same qn. which ive asked quite a number of my friends. like one day after uve bathed, u drew the shower curtain and saw a Sadako-lookalike standin right in front of the door facing the mirror. what would u do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hmmm. dun ask me why in the first place the Sadako appeared in ur bathroom out of nowhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;im very tempted to ' highlight, delete' the above question coz i think its dumb and i do not wan my friends to think that they hav a lame, autistic retard as a friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hey im cheerful and serious k. i draw rainbows with the crayons my mom bought for me and i do kneel down, palms tgt, close my eyes and wish for world peace when i see a shooting star. or maybe yearn to be like a cute barbie runnin ard the plain lavender plantation with butterflies dancing tgt with me. swirl and swirl like a... ...lame, autistic retard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BOOM comes the harsh reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and why is everyone drowning? i mean, why r there so many death cases due to drownin? and why r there suddenly all these weird hurricane-lookalike water swirls ( or watever tis called)? and why r there so many dengue cases? why why why? i think we need to ask ' wu gui bo shi' aka Professor Wu Gui. but u muz rmb dat before asking the qn, u muz sing " wei she me? wei she me? WEI SHE ME?... ..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(retard.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok i shall go and do somethin meaningful now. blog again asap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" eh eh eh eh under my umbrella, ella ella eh eh eh under my umbrella."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;if u treat me nice i shall let u stand under my umbrella k.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(retardx10.)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9735683-172524650585552631?l=urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/feeds/172524650585552631/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9735683&amp;postID=172524650585552631' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/172524650585552631'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/172524650585552631'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/2007/06/i-spent-like-5-mins-tryin-to-think-of.html' title=''/><author><name>xiphius</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346093871255764671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9735683.post-2549535501566275044</id><published>2007-05-26T16:41:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-05-26T18:00:31.562+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>i suddenly realised it has been donkey years since i last blogged. recently ive met up with several of my friends, heading out and towning. obviously im not gg to blog it down day by day- a waste of mine and ur time. instead i shall juz go on and ramble abt the highlights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;recently, ive been rather slack off in ns and able to spare more time for my friends. and of coz, making sure they are still a phonecall away and ensuring im not easily-forgotten. dats is of coz- im so friendly, caring, sharing, ( insert vocabs still oftenly used in prischs).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;went mos the other day with my pals. it wasnt in our plan, but i got no idea how we ended up there in the end instead of a decent pub. and being a saturday, everyone will roughly hav the same mindset before heading over to the ever-popular club. yes, the crowd. as much as i like to hang out with my friends, being squeezed and shoved at is of coz not something i can feel comfortable with. i was happily standing down dat hoping no one will step on my feet when people started to jostle. and it is at times like this when i wished im a girl and can start screaming and exclaimin dat im PREGNANT. but all i did was grumbling and moving from one spot to another, avoiding the sweaty Shreks. theres even one point of time when i was dancing and surrounded by guys with the sentence " i am a typical despo and i hope i can get some ass tonight" smacked right on their forehead. yes surrounded front left right back. i got so turned off by the sweaty smell dat i left the dancefloor. Go sweaty Shreks go! dance and slap ur sweat on others. or better, gyrate and let them FEEL how sweaty u are!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the wet back, the wet chest, the wet face, the wet neck. excuse me we are not running bmtc here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry but bring ur hyperactive sweat glands and high testosterone somewhere else please. lets dun tok abt girls, even guys dun wanna get close to sweaty baboons when dancing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and no offense, why the sudden influx of malays?! i dun get it. they shd be playing soccer instead i tot?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;never mind that. went to the changi open house with hm and surprise surprise- nat and manda were there as game masters too. although i didnt reli spend much time with them- need to rush for time- but still its nice to see them there. haha. and i think manda got herself a bf. coz i saw her scratchin someone's back in such gentle way- hmm monkey?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and i oso realised somethin recently. why are the secsch kids so BUGIS? when i mean bugis, i mean why r they all wearing those heavily-graphic tees? i call it the bugis-fashion. big kick ass graphics with colours dat doesnt complement yet loud. plus their physique are like super skinny and not well-built. they do look like circus clowns to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;or wat abt the mammoth buckle+ bright-coloured sneakers+ tight demin+ super long fringe and sideburn&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;= BUGIS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i cant imagine if ive a kid like this. and my friends and relatives happen to see them at this state. i think i will go stuff myself with parsley and coriander. i mean, when we were in secsch, i dun think we dressed in dat way. at dat point of time, we dun even know wats fashion. fashion is clothes dat dun look kuku and feel comfy and fitting. dats all. no other funny business. unlike the kids now, our rights of buying things we like were restricted by our parentsat dat point of time.

DIE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok abit violent. hmm...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;if not... EAT PARSLEY!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;recently, as ive said, im doing quite well hiding myself and avoiding social meetups. but im actually having this prisch gathering at Zouk next month. perhaps it shall mark the day i finally see the 'light'. no im not a muslim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it has been centuries since i last saw them! they changed so much la - i mean theres something called Friendster. Some turned from ugly duckling to a gorgeous swan. but some, they... ... i can only say, ugly is the new pretty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh shit! bad karma! i shdnt badmouth abt ppl. nono. they r like elegant swans with snowwhite feathers flapping their wings yearning for... sex. OH SHIT BAD KARMA!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;no la. they reli changed alot. come to think abt it. i realised im one of those who remained perpetually no diff comparatively. minus the acne and uglyhairstyle. wait. i already got uglyhairstyle last time. ok its still the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i cant believe it. i went out makan with my family yest and had curryfishhead. now, im having a curryacnehead already. hooray to depression and suicidal thoughts ( joking!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i went back to my derm regarding this oh-my-gawd horrible breakout. she suspected dat its the puberty thingy. and gave me some oral...(?!?!)... medicine. and advised me to avoid the sun as frequent as possible since the medcine will cause YET ANOTHER breakout! omg. its breakouts after breakouts! its the legendary kallang wave!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so now i hav to try to avoid going out for another 1month. and yes. this is actually a REQUEST for my fellow frenz to juz ignore me for 1month and treat me as Mr.Glassman. can? pls? tyvm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so ya la. if yall r planning to meet up right. dun ask me along. dun even inform me k. im scared i will just get jealous. haha. so do it discreetly. very very discreetly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my derm also changed me whole skincare regime with respect to the medicine im taking now. weird. but she guaranteed all will be fine after 1month. but meantime i hav to follow closely to her regime. so pls do understand k?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i sound like im going for a war liddat. ahah so drastic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but hey! it is drastic k! i am going for a war. a WAR against acne! stab them kill them drain their blood! ( wait it will be my blood anw) i wouldnt want to be scarred for life. coz for guys to be scarred for life is like... girls being raped! - u get scarred for life as well!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;wat a lousy analogy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;dats not the point. the main thing is... let me be alone for the next 1month. frankly speaking. i finally understand the feeling of being 'nagged' by others. like " omg. wat happened to ur face?! its like bubbling with zits!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;same feeling if a guy tells a girl " omg. wat happened to ur figure?! its like bubbling with fats!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yah. im so sensitive dat i shall avoid such scenrio from happening at all costs! even if it means assasinating my frenz before they could even recognise me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;behold!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;meantime. i shall jus fully devote myself into passin my driving test in the first attempt. since the bbdc instructor wont recognise me and go " omg why ur face liddat one?!". of which risking himself being killed tgt with me in an 'accident' while driving. kwakwakwa!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" why u say my face like shit?! my face not like shit! u den like shit! dun care!

ok la no alot. in fact, just two- Norbit and Just Follow Law. but the point is, my social life has been left stagnant for quite awhile. was spending time doing i-dunno-what. u see, i dun even know how my time has been spent. pathetic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yes i rmbed. driving i guess. and maybe... ok i think dats for all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and i was telling some of my frenz. u know the uber strict driving instructor whom i kena for 8times! yes believe it. 8 consecutive times! its just too weird/lucky/unfortunate/eerie/throw-in-some-random-vocab to actually hav him teaching me for 8consecutive times. i think theres a need for me to spend some time queuing up for Toto soon. u never know whether my face will appear discreetly in LianHeZaoBao/ BahasaMelayu/ throw-in-some-random-newspaper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" NSF LAI SIYAN BECAME A MILLIONAIRE OVERNIGHT.

In additon, he managed to secure a place in Ripleys' BelieveItOrNot as one of the most awkward and undeserving Millionaire. Thus named, Earl Lai, following MyNameIsEarl."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;such major digression. but nvm back to the topic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i realised he's one of the fixed GOLD group instructors. meaning ppl pay extra surcharges to get him to teach them. since he belongs to the more pro grp of instructors..

No, not diving tyvm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ahhh... im gg to head over to a library later and pick up some SignLanguage learners' book for complete idiots like me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;maybe i shd ask my frenz to go learn it too, so next time we can act pitiful by using SignLanguages on the street but actually bitching about passerbys lookin at us. kwa kwa kwa!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;no one will be able to understand!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok dats mean. forget it den.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i was thinkin other than driving, SignLanguage, wat other interesting courses shd i pick up?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;was thinkin of kayaking. it has been a very long time since i last hold on to the paddle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and i would hav forgotten all the basics already! i might juz capsize immediately upon adjusting my butt to the seat. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;or maybe Fencing?! the art to selfdefense. but i find it abit useless to learn fencing. since in fencing, they only teach u how to wield a sabre blade. but in reality when u meet an aggressor, its almost impossible for you to find a tree branch similiar to the weapon u use during fencing lessons. moreover, the treebranch will be more fragile as well. so the money u dumped in to learn fencin juz goes down the drain... plus the money stolen by the robber.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;or maybe i will just carry the sabra blade along with me when im outside... like dance with it during clubbing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;argh... such embarassment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh yar! FirstAidCourse! another something i wanna master, for life!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but theres a catch. Shd i go for the SingaporeRedCross society courses or the SAFMedical FirstAid courses? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5029880219264485106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MLBHqqM6vQg/Rc25aPQGBvI/AAAAAAAAAEg/t4j_CFutu-U/s200/serv_training_pic1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;" &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;dun strangle me please" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;the ahpek behind at the background looks like a barber giving someone a haircut. kwakwakwa!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;theres a slight difference. since SAF firstaid comprises more of combat medical skills. example kena shot by a bullet... kena stung by a bee... kena 3rddegree burn from a detonation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;which is quite different from the civilian way of FirstAid. of coz CPR trainin is a compulsory thing for both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hmmm... i think i prefer the civilian one. although i dun think its recognised in SAF.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;( i spent an hour searching for available firstaid courses)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok back! ive decided to sign up for StandardFirstAid course during March.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hopefully everythin will be smooth-sailing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as ive said...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;more money, more time, more skills!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9735683-3486986058290961186?l=urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/feeds/3486986058290961186/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9735683&amp;postID=3486986058290961186' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/3486986058290961186'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/3486986058290961186'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/2007/02/im-back.html' title=''/><author><name>xiphius</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346093871255764671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MLBHqqM6vQg/Rc23RvQGBtI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/UNRzC4QnwlU/s72-c/logo_new.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9735683.post-6456638353325309599</id><published>2007-02-04T15:09:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-02-10T20:36:18.101+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>recently, my weekends hav been spent doing absolutely nothing and juz playing the vital role of being a couch potato.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the sacred guardian of tvs and computers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its not dat no one asked me out or something ( hey im not dat unsociable ok), its just dat im lazy to travel to places faraway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok la. 'faraway' is tad exaggerating. since its like only less than an hour of travelling to town. but still, i do things with a meaning. i certainly do not want to spend a bloody hour travelling to town just to buy chocolates from Godiva. or clothings from TopMan. or worse, movies at GrandCathay for the comfy spacious seats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;meaning. i only travel with mutiple reasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for example. u don't go Sentosa for just 1hour juz to get a nice tan right? u will spend the whole day play beachball, soccer, swim, sand castles etc etc. and spend an enjoyable night at the beach pubs before heading back home. its the same idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so yea. next time if u wanna ask me out or something. please do not do it juz becoz u need someone to accompany you for lunch at Macs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i might just delete ur contact number accidentally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my mom was pan-frying chicken nuggets when all of the sudden, the oil caught fire or something. so as expected. the flame was ridiculously big- triple the size of the frying pan and the height of a 3yrs-old kid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and i was happily slicing the onions and tearing when it happened. my sis enjoying her overnight pasta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my mom then, with a single swift action, when to turn off the gas control ( or watever it is called). thus named, the Superwoman of the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so after the whole woo-ha. i turned to my mom and said&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" ni kan, wo xia dao ku liao" ( u see la, i got so scared i cried)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;which of coz, its the onion's fault.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my sis, jealous, said somethin more absurd&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" ni kan, wo xia dao yao dao she tou " ( u see la, i got so scared i bit my tongue)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;which obviously, is the tomato pasta sauce's fault.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so 3 of us were laughing. totally forgetting abt wat has happened just 10seconds ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;wat an optimistic family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;( p/s anyone has the blockbuster 'The Myth' ( shen2 hua4) by JackieChan and JinXiShan DVD? )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i went kbox with the seniors yesterday. and since we are all frequent kboxers. we roughly know wat songs to choose and sing. admist all the standard duets, my fren chose this song 'Endless Love' by JackieChan and JinXiShan. the theme song of 'The Myth ( shen2 hua4)'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;although its not a very nice duet to sing ( since JackieChan can't really sing well, and most of the JinXiShan parts r in korean. ) but at the ending when both sang in mandarin, its NICE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;not say niceNICE, but okokNICE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="350" width="375"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vayA1C_mKnw"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vayA1C_mKnw" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9735683-6456638353325309599?l=urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/feeds/6456638353325309599/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9735683&amp;postID=6456638353325309599' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/6456638353325309599'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/6456638353325309599'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/2007/02/recently-my-weekends-hav-been-spent.html' title=''/><author><name>xiphius</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346093871255764671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9735683.post-6675903332659111212</id><published>2007-01-29T18:31:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-29T20:27:40.991+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I juz came back from my driving lesson. and once again, i kena this extremely strict instructor who loves to question me abt driving techniques.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for 3 consecutive times!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i got so used to it dat for this time round, whenever he asks me the same usual questions, i would give him an im-so-sian tone to the answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;everything's fine and smooth-going. as for now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh my buds juz asked whether i will be able to make it for a vacation to Phuket on March. im trying to get everythin planned out now before confirmin with them. thanx to u n.s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and im tryin to source for a chin-up gym bar. get it fixed in my room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh shit. i realised im doing random updates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;im done with my newyear shopping. left with only a nice belt to go with my pants. need to go do some serious shopping soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and as much as i love retail therapies. i hate travelling to core.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;how i wish my frenz can volunteer to be my very own chaffeur and drive me ard. *hint*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh i went to my aunt's place to visit my granny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and for some of you. maybe ive told u before abt my rich aunt. yesh. so oh-my-gawd rich.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;not forgetting his son is a doctor cum lawyer. and his daughter is a vet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;she juz gave my sis and i 100bucks EACH for newyear shopping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and gave my mom 100 pieces of $2 note for my mom to pack angpaos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;can u even believe it?! i was telling my mom how lucky she is. dun hav to fork a single cent to pack angpaos this year!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its all sponsored!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;angpao money = blessings = not from my mom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i told my mom to contribute a lil to the angpao money. so at least sincere abit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;like maybe 1dollar out of 10?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;kwa kwa kwa!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but the impt thing is. i so need to act superduper guai in front of my aunt ( which im oredi doin).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this is wat i called a long-term investment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;say a car?

BUT, do not for heavens sake, console me dat inner beauty is wat made me good-looking from the inside. excuse me?! the only thing dat emerged out from my inside is acne. thankyouverymuch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so spare it, do not preach to me abt being helpful, caring and noble. i do agree dat it does make u looked more radiant and approachable. but please, giving seats to a pregnant lady won't make my pores clear and acne-free. it will only add to my karma and hence, reduce the frequency of me missing the train by dat few secs. or higher hopes for a sunny weather when im headin for a swim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;no. im not superficial. im just being frank. who doesnt want to look good and feel good. do not tell me dat u dont, for a slightest bit, admire those being chosen for XtremeMakeover. or do somethin abt the zits on ur face resulting from the curryfishhead u had last night. even staring at the mirror is an act of being superficial. why care abt a nice hairdo? why brush ur teeth twice daily? why EVEN brush ur teeth in the first place? why buy expensive facial products? why buy nice clothes? why go for diet? why visit watsons or guardian?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;simple. coz u want to present the best of urself. and when i say best, i mean all-my-effort best. not heck-care best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and if u still disagree with wat ive said and beg to differ,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;pls go shave away ur hair and become a nun then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;no? afraid? even buying shampoos is being superficial. why cant u use bodysoap to wash ur hair? it still cleanses. ohhh.. i forgot. it doesnt moisturise ur hair wellenuff and prevent u from getting split-ends? not forgetting the lavender fragrance and the silkysmooth texture?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ta-da! i welcome u to the dark-side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it all started out as a casual remark from my fren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;him " why learn photoshop?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;me " coz im ugly. thus i need to make sure i looked good in the photo. thankyouverymuch."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;him " aiya. no need to care abt looks one wat"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;me " haha. hey wait. is dat a zit on ur nose?!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;him " holycow! pass me my ultrastrong t3 formula right now! damn it!

But after a few rounds. we got pissed off with it becoz its almost impossible for 5 of us to share this small plate of scrabbled egg with scallops. of which the scallops were like shredded into million pieces coz it looked ridiculously small. So we talked the their waiter first. in vain, we decided to follow the commercial pyramid and went to sound out our problem( or theirs) to one of their supervisors over there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and i muz say. we were all quite pissed off by the supervisor's response. coz we thought he understood our problem and thus, expected some changes to the serving size.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but ta-da, the next 5 dishes were of no difference. everything small and skimpy. excuse me. but i dun pay 20plus bucks to eat somethin worse than zhi-char.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we went to tell another supervisor of theirs. a lady. she was polite and apologised for the mistakes. she told us its becoz the kitchen was short-handed and thus, they had difficulty following the correct orders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we even witnessed some honkong guy from the table beside us yelling and complainin to the supervisor about the serving size.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" u juz tell me. wats wrong with my original order?! why muz yall change it to a smaller size? is this how u all work?!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i never gg to work in service industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so in the end everythin came in big servings. and fyi. on the orderlist itself, theres this marvellous sentence. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015366884486184866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MLBHqqM6vQg/RZopm-AOf6I/AAAAAAAAADI/oCZA25bwjCc/s320/31122006(001)+copy.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;' Balance Food Will Be Charged Into a-la-carte Prices'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HOW FOXY!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;coz we ordered alot. juz in case they didnt amend the problem and we certainly do not want to enjoy our buffet eating somethin of bite-size serving. so in the end. the last 7 dishes we ordered all came in BIG servings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;damn crafty right. beginnin give us small small servings until we got fedup and ordered alot. den there they served BIG servings since we muz be quite full oredi. tihnking dat the last few small dishes won't kill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*ka-pui!*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we got a big shock when we saw the dishes coming in big servings. so in the end, we did somethin of utmost embarassment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we squeezed and cramped the food inside our mouths and went to the toilet to flush it away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*dig hole and hide*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so we ended the whole buffet with diluted and watery watermelon sago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hurray to the last dinner of 2006!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015299831456759522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MLBHqqM6vQg/RZnsn-AOfuI/AAAAAAAAAA0/8J5k7hfTlYs/s320/31122006(002).jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;***&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;after the whole woo-ha dinner. we went to boatquay and was resting at the big 'concourse' outside the mrt station. shit i forgot the name. but never mind. we were sitting at the stairs juz like the hundreds, waiting for the fireworks, which was like, an hour later.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015358114162966370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MLBHqqM6vQg/RZohoeAOf2I/AAAAAAAAACc/UacYVflfAV0/s320/31122006(004)1+copy1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;so we were chitchatting and catching up. tok cock sing song.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;30mins passed and the topics started running out. so in the end. we compromised and decided to go to a pub to hangout instead of squeezin our ass off in the crowd.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;and as usual. we walked the same street back and forth for 5 times before we decided to settle down at this 80s bar which in my opinion, a bar solely for ahbengs whose vocal cords went haywired coz they cant control their volume. and oso with no meaning to the bar's name. which supposed to give an impression of a retro feel.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;we ordered chivasregal and were sharing a small table with few cans of coke as the mixer. luckily the mixers were free-flowed. everytime we went over to the bar to ask for more mixer, the bartender will give us like 3-4 cans. so throughout the whole drinkin session. we went over the bar like nearly 10times.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015305814346202866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MLBHqqM6vQg/RZnyEOAOfvI/AAAAAAAAABI/CS0j2G6nL4E/s320/31122006(005).jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so we kept playing games. finger-guessing. poker cards. dices. lotsa lotsa drinking games. until caier and peitang buai tahan and withdrew from the game. so left me and andy playing and drinking. so sian! i kept losing and drinking la! walao!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Andy and i were playing dices. hard to explain la. but its the standard thing la - loser drinks. and i got no idea why i kept losing. so i was drinkin and drinkin and drinkin non-stop. while andy was happily shouting "HE SI NI! HE SI NI! "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;and yesh. the other two? happily sitting down there.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015358904436948850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px

/&gt;&lt;div&gt;there was a pool table down there oso. so they went over to play. leaving both of us playing drinking playing drinkin playing drinking. they also had a mini-countdown in the pub itself. a very boliao one i muz say. when everyone shouted " HAPPYNEWYEAR". they all suddenly took out aerosol sprays from dunno where. and sadly to say, our table was the only one w/o any of the weapons. pathetic shits. so while the rest spray and hav fun. we were sitting down there kena random attacks. how fun. hah hah hah...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;screw the ahbengs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;and afterwhich. we continued playing the drinking until theres no tmr. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;yes. we = andy and i.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Andy den came out this oh-my-gawd idea which i shant elaborate on.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5015348154133806898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN:

/&gt;&lt;div&gt;so we left the pub at ard 3. looking for cabbies. and bingo. we walked for ard 30mins in no avail.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;and we were doing wat seemed like gangster-act while walking on the streets. like playing with the boards and beachumbrellas etc etc. and i was blabbering about DaChangJin on our aimless walk. irritatin the hell of the rest of da gang. but hey,

obnoxious banglas and the evil aerosal sprays. we decided , or shd i say, the gals decided to book a chalet at eastcoast to try their best to spike our makan with a glimpse of hope of eating the guy's toufu. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;but i muz say the guys of the rabbit year r smart and observant. we saw thru their

the surgeon's letter actually stated that im ENTITLED to 1month of lightduties status.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so the MO was like " wah ur surgeon very good hor, give u sucha long period ot time to rest"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;den i went to explain how CHRONIC my situation was. all the bullshit crap dat the stitches melted even before my wound has been sealed up, thus the opening gap at both ends. which has already being verified by my operating surgeon. kinda exaggerate a lil though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so he was nodding attentively. i still couldnt believe my own eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;den when he asks me to lift up my shirt for wound inspection,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i muz say i did it rather willingly. of coz not dat he's gg to violently slash my shirt la.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so he was inspecting while showing sign of agreement aka nodding head aka " i see i see".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;den came the interesting part&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"r u happy with the results?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" wat results?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" the end results of the stitches. actually they did quite a good job if not for the openingap."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" oh okok"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" haha. u didnt go confront ur surgeon how come her stitching so lousy? * proceed bangin his own desk* den ask for a refund or something. hahaha"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" hahaha. ( = u r very lame. stop it please.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" do u know u will get outofcourse becoz of this. since ure still on m.c and will be given 1month lightduties. thus unable to join the rest for normal trainins * worried look*"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and i played along with him&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" yah. but no choice. its not really up to me to decide when is my wound gg to heal. coz apparently its not recovering as it shd hav been now. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" icic. so do u wan to get outofcourse?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" * pause, thinking* hmm im still not sure myself. but even if i didnt get outofcourse, i can forsee a big problem for myself to join back the class and catch up with 1month of intense trainin i missed. and moreover, its not up to me to choose whether i stay or go. coz usually ppl r forced to get outofcourse juz becoz of 2wks of lightduties"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" i see. okay. take care den. byebye * flash smile*"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;den i realised its not dat her wife gave him goodsex the night before. coz while waiting for my status m.c. , the secret of all secrets revealed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THERE WAS AN ONGOING &lt;strong&gt;SURVEY&lt;/strong&gt; ON THE MEDICAL CENTRE PERFORMANCE!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;no wonder! how typical!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;no wonder i smelt conspiracy when not only the m.o, but the medics were so friendly all of the sudden. next

type='text'></title><content type='html'>9th Dec&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;wanted to go Changi Airport with fee to walkard shopard lazeard. but we realised the weather was bloody hot and i cant move ard and sweat too much. so while hammering our own brains for any wacky ideas, nat asked us to manda's house for... hmm... for... i cant reli put it into words. lets say FUN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;reached manda's house in the late afternoon. watched Davinci Code with nat, fee, manda, han and manda's mom. after the show ended, han went back home to rest while manda's mom went back to her own room. so its left with 4 of us in the living room. so u muz be thinkin wat can 3 girls and 1 guy do late at night. and dat han is back home and manda's mom slping soundly. and not to forget manda's house has this big couch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;bingo. we had mass orgy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*snap finger*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we played monopoly la. it was kinda boring at the start. but slowly, this family game started to evolve into a gruesome game of feminism. where the tigresses in all girls were waiting to pounce at and devour the only man. it was horrendous i tell u. u shd hav taken a look at their faces. all filled with anxiety and excitement to exterminate the only guy in the game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but lucky for me, i was quite a good player. by saying good, i mean generous and easy-going. if not fee and manda would oredi hav forced to leave the game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and while everyone was trying to save their own asses. neither did we know, the biggest and mightiest of all tigresses was actually hatchin a evil plan. to not only devour the only man, but to put the rest of the dying tigresses into her foodchain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sinister.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and this game of life and death actually lasted till 12midnight when the only man was sick and tired of carry on battling with the mammoth creature. while the souls of the dead tigresses did their part by speeding up the hunting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this is sucha evil game. it shows the true nature of everyone. or shd i say, every girl. which is to, simply, release the feministic tigress hidden deep beneath their pure innocent minds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;crouchin tigress hidden maiden.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br

The breast tissue is usually less than 1-1/2 inches across and is located directly under the nipple. Gynecomastia may be present on one side or on both sides.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Gynecomastia is usually caused by changes in hormones at puberty or as part of aging. Hormones are chemicals produced by the glands of the body, such as the thyroid gland, the testes and the ovaries. Gynecomastia may be caused by changes in the balance of 2 hormones, estrogen and testosterone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Gynecomastia affects an estimated 40 to 60 percent of men. It may affect only one breast or both. Though certain drugs and medical problems have been linked with male breast overdevelopment, there is no known cause in the vast majority of cases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-The procedure is done through a small incision at the border of the nipple complex, and the glandular tissue is carefully removed. Liposuction is then used to contour the chest and increase muscle definition. The end result is a chest that is flatter, firmer, and better contoured.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many men have gynecomastia - enlarged, female-like breasts -causes by excess glandular tissue or fat (or both).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3499/722/200/839827/gyne1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;milk anyone?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Following surgery for gynecomastia, the patient has a more masculine chest contour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3499/722/200/531708/gyne4.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;pls pay much attention to the phrase ' more masculine chest contour'. ahhh... free gym workout!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i went for the day surgery yesterday. and got discharge on the day itself. of which 1137bucks of the taxpayers money depleted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and it bled so badly yesterday night while sleeping dat almost the whole left side of my shirt was stained with blood&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thus i went to a GP this morning to remove the blood-soaked dressing. or shd i say blood-dripping dressing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;horror of the horrors. the blood was oozing out like nobodies business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;they told me usually it can result in terrible embarrassment, teasing, and social trauma. but who cares? i mean. we r oredi headin towards 2007. its not as if i contracted aids and tryin my best to hide the truth from my frenz dat i got it from a bangla orgy. and moreover, the lunps hav been surgically and permantly removed. its not gonna affect me anymore. so to those whose giggling away in front of the monitor, bah~ i hope u bite ur lips terribly on ur next sumptous meal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so other than wellwishes, please do not sms and involve me in any cool funky activities within this 2 weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;grrr.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;( please keep rainin and spoil all the fun they r gg to have. kwa kwa kwa.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9735683-116480360172814855?l=urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/feeds/116480360172814855/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9735683&amp;postID=116480360172814855' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/116480360172814855'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/116480360172814855'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/2006/11/ok-im-gg-to-isolate-myself-from-all.html' title=''/><author><name>xiphius</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346093871255764671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9735683.post-116443696953267461</id><published>2006-11-25T14:09:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-25T15:00:15.640+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>anw u muz be wondering how come ive changed my blog url.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basically, jj found out dat someone has been visiting my blog in the ndu lounge room. and hav decided to play a prank on me by loading my pic ( the one tryin out Caserini studio shirt) as the com's wallpaper. Thus, making me feel embarassed and upset. which im sorry to say, he totally failed. terribly i would say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To add on, i dun wan incidents where ppl decided to become dumbasses and start imitatin my frenz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and when i was abt to turn on the bitchymode and start violently tongueslapped the nduasshole for doing sucha prank on me. i suddenly recalled the

/&gt;可能你不晓得，不知不觉，这可是我第一百篇的博客日记。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我想了又想，或许应当以中文来尝试换一换口味增添一丝的新鲜感。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;绞尽了脑汁，却还在思考应该写些什么， 要怎么以不纳闷的表达方式来谈笑风生。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;总在忙忙碌碌地生活着，时光就这样一小时，一天，一年地晃悠悠地过去了。已习惯躺在时光的河流上顺流而下，却忽略了自己离生命的源头已越来越远。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;总是以为生命还年轻，就像散步时有一段很长的路可以慢慢去走，有一段很悦耳的音乐可以反反复复地听，很少去想该特别地抓紧些什么，抑或特别地去珍惜些什么。很多东西是挥霍了，很多东西是放弃了，譬如光阴，譬如爱情，譬如理想。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;生命如逝水，流去的日子是不会回来的。为了不让生命毫无痕迹地流失，一定要好好地把握它， 利用它，填满它。至低限度，让它留下一点对得起自己的痕迹。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*** 我可是花了近一小时的时光来呈现这篇 ‘中华英雄’。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;或 ‘ 中华狗熊’。***&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

curiousity sake! i am as straight as a ruler!)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so tempted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;until i realised its not really a good idea to do so. i mean. its better to be respectful. i do not wan to show any form of impoliteness to them. and moreover, some of my frenz r abit anti-gays and i dun think im allowed to shoot the video in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so if u reli wanna see it, come find me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;or u can ask fishyfart fee abt it, she watched it already! she was so excited while watching it dat she told me she reli hoped she can join in the fun and poledance with the ppl! but too bad they dun grind gerls! ahhh... talk abt orgasms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;juz for luff of coz. no offence fee fee. wahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i wont talk much abt my experience there. i have to admit dat it wasnt as bad as it might sound. like ppl hiding at one corner and givin blowjobs or screwin each other. nope. it was pretty decent in fact. and the hosts were damn hilarious. they talked and behaved like our dear mediacorp artiste Kumar. its was really entertainment-worthy i muz say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but not when the dj shouted ' open to dancefloor!'. i almost died i tell u! luckily we managed to grab seats since we came earlier. if not we would be standing side by side ( YESH shoulder to shoulder!) to complete strangers wu might juz pinch my ass. good grief. it was really damn squeezy and crowded. and i almost suffocate by the passive smoking. jj told me becoz its an clubbin event, thus the crowd. no wonder. i heard it was far worst at zouk and mos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but juz to throw a nice fish as a bait, i shall upload 1 or maybe 2...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hmm... make it 3 photos

Yesh, as u might have expected, The consequences of Modern technology in years to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Opps sorry, too formal. Rewind rewind...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THe technology hor... dunno wat to say sia. Hoe come so advanced now? sibei buai tahan can?

Abd sponsors will be showering me with their latest products and inviting me to the most classy and glamourous parties. What to do? When ppl get famous amos, you want to act low-profile also very hard. Haizz...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok enuff of bullshit, lets get back to the main topic...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesh, i understad ppl will get jealous of me easily given my prominent status in the blogging field. But im graceful, Life's greatest sorrow is jealousy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey wait, not this topic ( Y? Not happy is it?!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whenever I switched on the tv. News on how ppl is trying damn hard to come up with fantastic mechanics dat will surpass current tech just literally slapped tight on my face. You see, its not dat i'm against the dramatic advancement of technology ( or scientology like Tom Cruise), but have you ever wondered what will happen in the near future?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i mean. things hav been changing rapidly. you see. 10 yrs ago, wu actually can predict that modern technology has become a daily essential in today's society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its even faster than the end of jurassic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love abrupt ending. ( excuse for too lazy)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anw thanx nat and co. for the lovely treat at dunno which steamboat restaurant at bugis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;( Yay! going to catch Forbbiden City with my dear next wkend!)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9735683-115899705351610015?l=urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/feeds/115899705351610015/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9735683&amp;postID=115899705351610015' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/115899705351610015'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/115899705351610015'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/2006/09/very-good-morning-to-our-principal.html' title=''/><author><name>xiphius</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346093871255764671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9735683.post-115899424443670682</id><published>2006-09-23T14:12:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-09-23T14:55:20.800+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>See. im blogging more often now. My my im a fantastic boy&lt;br /&gt;Nothing much has happened over the past few weeks. Need more time to readjust myself to the new phase in ns ( still sucky though)&lt;br /&gt;Anw, jus wanna take the oppotunity to thank everyone, yesh even if u didnt remb my b'dae or ur hp's batt suddenly went bonkers (see, we oways need good excuses to cover, and i accept it)&lt;br /&gt;and for those wu rmbed and sent me well-wishes. im reli thankful to have u all! Speechless! haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So theres still alot of things to do, or things i did. celebration!&lt;br /&gt;1) Met my gf for movie and some impulse buying&lt;br /&gt;2) met caier and pt makaned and movie-d&lt;br /&gt;3) met mun and han for movie session&lt;br /&gt;4) meet mun and han for pubbing&lt;br /&gt;5) meet caier pt and andy for fun ( yesh, define fun)&lt;br /&gt;6) meet nat and co. for dinner&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahh... wat a joyful bdae celebration. Woolala~!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frankly speaking, this is the first time ( my 19th bdae) to have so many ( ok not alot actually ) frenz to cele my b'dae with me. isnt it juz fantastic?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What more can i expect?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realised that this blog entry is gg to be a big digression ( jus like how ppl r discussin abt Steve Irwin's rare and fatal encounter while some idiots started using MSN 'turtle' icon to commemorate him. Stingray and Turtle? Halo?!) I actually wanted to tok ant the advancement of mordern tech and forsee wat will happen to us, slaves of tech, in years to come. But now, i will touch on somethin more emo-nemo. Yesh as you might have expected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FRIENDS. ( no, not stingrays)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets first split everyone into their respective Venn diagram ( sequence does not represent importance)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A : Close buddies ( ce, pt, andy, hx...)&lt;br /&gt;B : JC clique ( nat, seok, fee, lynn...)&lt;br /&gt;C : N.S. buddies ( han, mun, jj...)&lt;br /&gt;D : my gal ( still got who?)&lt;br /&gt;E : Misc ( none of the above)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soon i start to realise FRIENDS r not just part and parcel of my life. They are like WATER to me. Essential and nutritous ( detox u know?). WE can't survive w/o water and water helps us to quench our thirst. Just like how friends help to share our problems, our joy and sorrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;( such total bullshit u might say, behold!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Water helps to soothe sore throat. juz ike frenz who help solve prickly probs which i cant handle alone.&lt;br /&gt;Water helps to quench thirst, juz like frenz being essential and important at desperate times.&lt;br /&gt;Water is used to flush bowels down, just like frenz who help u settle dirty laundry.&lt;br /&gt;Water is used to cleanse ur face, just like frenz who help to improve ur radiance and confidence.&lt;br /&gt;Water ( hot water esp) is needed to make a cup pf nice tea/coffee/cereal/hot choco/cup noodles/milo (ok u get the idea) , juz like frenz being necessary to create a joyful ambience ard you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok. enuff of brainstorm. Waste my brainjuice. Oh yah, come to tihnk abt it, frenz waste ur brainjuice also&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Continuous Random Depletion of Brainjuice&lt;br /&gt;- need to think of wat present to buy for him/her b'dae or where to celebrate his/her b'dae&lt;br /&gt;- some juz couldnt unds jokes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Digression&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- some juz loves reverse-psychology to the core&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A : "actually i got somthin to u abt..."&lt;br /&gt;B : "what?"&lt;br /&gt;A : "Erm. Aiya. Forget it. I think better don't tell u "&lt;br /&gt;B : "Just say la! I wont tell others oso one wat"&lt;br /&gt;A : "Aiya dont want la. Actually nothing one"&lt;br /&gt;B : "Walao. Just say la ( *stare)"&lt;br /&gt;A " not important one la ( *starts digression)"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A : " no la. juz wanna tell u C was badmouthin that you got B.O. But i dunno whether I shd tell u. Dun say i say one hor."&lt;br /&gt;B : " IZZIT?!" ( went to confront C)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HALLO?! TO HELL WITH UR REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY !

( no, no PRCs im sorry to say)&lt;br /&gt;been waiting for this night to come. and finally it came.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so we ordered mattel at 128bucks and drank to our hearts content.&lt;br /&gt;4 of us divided the bill. which means 32 each. quite worth it la.&lt;br /&gt;3 mixers - green tea, soda and coke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;not to mentioned the games we played. so lup sup! - finger guessing, hai-dai(ermm.. seaweed?) and some idiotic games which the loser has to get his palm slapped by the other 3.&lt;br /&gt;the suay me got my hand hit like 4/5 games we played. how unlucky can i get. gosh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its called Liquid. the name of the pub. quite nice la actually. except the horrible voice of the drunkards there. sibei cmi. we were literally shocked to death when the guy tried to hit some high notes when singin andy lau's songs. argh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but lets dun generalize everyone there as 'kill-chicken' voice some gerls there can sing really well. yesh, gerls only. im shameful to say the adult guys there all chose extremely old-sch songs and sang it with ridiculously cmi accent and pitch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and of coz, andy's ' all-of-yall-sing-like-shit, only-i-can sing-like-hongjunyang' attitude seriously needs some adjustment. both mentally and i believe, vocally too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;plus his frequent complaints abt going clubbin instead of pubbing. MOS MOS MOS... watever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i have to admit dat our clique is one of the hardest to satisfy. u wouldnt imagine.&lt;br /&gt;1) i dowan to club&lt;br /&gt;2) peitang doesnt wan to club&lt;br /&gt;3) andy wans to club&lt;br /&gt;4) i dowan to drink beer&lt;br /&gt;5) andy doesnt wan to go ktv lounge pub.&lt;br /&gt;6) andy wans to go minah (malay ahlian) bar and dance alone at the dancefloor, yesh alone.&lt;br /&gt;7) peitang doesnt like strong liquor&lt;br /&gt;8) the rest like strong liquor&lt;br /&gt;9) lightin must be juz nice. not too bright not too dark&lt;br /&gt;10) dun reli favour pubs with lotsa malays&lt;br /&gt;11) muz have long duration of Happy hours&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;fwah la!

1900-lai-siyan!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so many things to do, my to-do list is going to deplete much of my brainjuice. jus like hcheng's fats trying to engulf him. yes, engulf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so now i shall be nice and entertain all of u by blogging nonsensical rants&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;( *juggle firesticks)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i suddenly realised dat im poor. yesh, poverty is kicking in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;no money= no entertainment= more stress= more pimple breakout= low confidence= dun dare to look up = wont take note of traffic lights= get into accident= high bills ( 11b visa!) = scarred face ( worst!) = comestic surgery = no 11b visa = money gone like flushing toilet = poorer = no entertainment = more stress = ... ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;see. vicious cycle of poverty. no wonder third world countries have higher death rate. haiz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;maybe i shall be more optimistic&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;no money= no entertainment= stay at home rot= watch tv and live off parents= less outdoor sun exposure = less sweat = less pimple breakout= more confidence= irony( more confidence but still stay at home)= go ntuc and window shop= kio cheap stuffs= saving money = win my mom ( shop and save advert - when it comes to saving, siyan knows best, not mom)= mom happy= father happy= sister happy= neighbours happy= more angpao money= more money!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yay!! sucha far-fetch plan i would say. no choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anw. i think i told most ppl abt my recent encounter with a chinaman. he was at the atm machine there checking his balance. and being a chinaman, we cant blame him for leaving his card in the machine since he muz be late for his construction work. so he left with the balance enquiry slip. and went i move forward, the screen juz flashed somethin like ' any more other transaction to proceed?'.&lt;br /&gt;so the devil took over me for ard 10 secs but was finally defeated by the holy angel with her unicorn ( juz like my blog display) and so i pressed 'no'. Instantaneously, a decent amount of good karma banked into my piggy bank ( juz nice, im standin beside an atm. ok dats not the point). which thus explain why whenever i go sun-tan, its always sunny and bright. hohoho.&lt;br /&gt;i took his card ( which happens to have a small crack at the edge, maybe because he is so thrifty ( or selfish) dat he asked for a second-hand card which is like hmmm. 50cents cheaper?) and ran after him and tapped on his shoulder. he turned with a shock ( thought he kena caught for stealing toilet paper from public toilets) while i passed him his card with extreme gracefulness and clemency.&lt;br /&gt;He was so delighted dat he knelt down and kissed my overpriced nike sneakers while thanking me in a ridiculously strong cheena accent which got onto my nerves. and of coz, being a saint i am, i refrained from slapping his mouth with a silverfish-infested dictionary and asking him to sstop speaking martian. i only elegantly replied ' no prob, juz be careful next time, u may rise now my lost sheep'. He refused to and still continues licking my unknown-brand ankle socks. i got no choice but to kick him away and asked him to leave, he resisted with his brute strength which he trained from snatching goods with aunties at warehouse sales. i got no choice but to use my jean grey's powers and send him crashin onto stacks of cupnoodles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He left, crying and at a distant, i saw him stuffin a Super seafood cupnoodle into his torn pocket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;he muz be enjoying it now.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9735683-115755068488282076?l=urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/feeds/115755068488282076/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9735683&amp;postID=115755068488282076' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/115755068488282076'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/115755068488282076'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/2006/09/ok-im-back.html' title=''/><author><name>xiphius</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346093871255764671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9735683.post-115483810764631646</id><published>2006-08-06T11:46:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-08-06T12:21:47.696+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>in conjuction with national day, we shall say our pledge too, in a more solemn and effective way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We, the citizens of Singapore&lt;br /&gt;pledge ourselves to exterminate any flyin bugs&lt;br /&gt;regardless of cockroaches, beetles or mosquitoes&lt;br /&gt;to build a bug-free society&lt;br /&gt;base on insecticides and newspaper&lt;br /&gt;so as to achieve&lt;br /&gt;hapiness, prosperity&lt;br /&gt;and one united nation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anw i had a tough fight with a unknown flying cockroach which happened to fly in thru my window.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;unbelievable. 13 floors!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its damn big plus it can fly. extra bonus for the irksome creature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it was 1am at night. so i had to settle it by myself. den i juz grab a newpaper beside me and chase after it all ard my room. and this stupid creature juz wont die no matter how many times i hit it. it will just fly off to another spot after i hit it, since i always cannot deliver a fatal hit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so in the end i got so fedup since everytime it flies, i have to strain and squint to look for it all over again (it always camoflaged with my curtains), i just use a plastic box and cover the stupid cockroach with it. and went back to my sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;see, so much for a good night rest. hell to all cockroaches which disturb my beauty sleep. muahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anw i saw this article which talks abt personality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;first, think of someone wu has a high sex appeal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;be it angelina jolie, pamela anderson or Miss Japan '06&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;be it brad pitt, ricky martin or wang leehom&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now i want u to concentrate hard on one of them ( their physique, face, blah blah)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok. second, think of him/her slowly taking off his/her clothes...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;done?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so now, wat does ur idol look like now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;topless?

9cm longer? more water 'catchment area'? . y? u think reservoir issit?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but for the guys who r slacking away during ns, good karma has fallen upon u. ( buy more tissues from the roadside ahmas ahpeks)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;since i couldnt say much abt wats happening in ns. lets say somethin more diff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;more diff...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;great. gays and lesbians it shall be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;u see. not dat im discriminating against homosexuality ( of coz not, i forgive the multiple butt attacks i got from the thai transvestites), but i saw this report on homosexuality. dat being homo is actually not dat particular "victim"'s fault. it all has to do with the genes. dun ask me how or why. do i even look like some bio geek with a big loser word stamped on my forehead? ( good. i can sense a unison 'NO'. good karma.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but still. of coz im not going to start blaming parents who of nowhere produces weird eggs or sperms. but for me. lesbians is still quite acceptable. since there cant be anythin more unusual than toying with dildos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but for gays. hmmm... how shd i phrase it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DUN LET ME EVER SEE BANGLAS KISSING AND HOLDING HANDS IN PUBLIC!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;opps. sorry. back to it. i cant reason how gay can actualy poke each others asshole. its like. can u even believe it? the particular poker( poker? nvm.) will have his carrot filled with shit. im sure he will. no matter how much he likes the idea of a choco carrot fondue. he will just enjoy the whole process and den came to realise where he got the lubricant from. of coz lets dun be a racist and start saying the blacks wont hav probs having their carrot covered with choco. since its of not particular diff i guess. no wonder the banglas r enjoying it. damn. smart asses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;or worse, kissing. arghhhhhhhh!!!!! i think they shd just stick their tongues into the condoms first before kissing. kinda like a safety hazard plus it looks less revolting. by like 0.00001% though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;they shd invent some gay detector. which will be first installed outside public toilets like some immigration metallic detector. den whenever the gay walks thru. it will sound the alarm and start bombing the gay with millions of free empty water bottles so there wont be a particular need for him to enter the toilet anymore. and of coz a plastic bowl for big business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;totally not against gays. but ive seen banglas making out in mrt public toilet before. they saw me looking at them and i was so scared they were going to pull me in for an orgy rape. and by den i wont even know wu is wu. i wont be able to point out the rapist during in the investigation room. since all banglas look almost amazingly identical. gosh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but still. i think 'discreet' is the impt word here. since i believe most s'porean r still not willing to accept banglas or gays making out in parks and esplanade area ( i believe everyone does). so bo bian lor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anw. im totally not against gays. i think they rock. seriously. gays oways hav the highest sense of fashion. do u even realise most beauty contest judge or prominent hairstylist and makeup artist r mostly gays? dat shows how professional they can in certain areas, even way better than most gerls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;aiyah. i also dunno wat im bullshitting abt. i realised its totally nonsensical. nvm. hav fun guys!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9735683-115410133212647735?l=urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/feeds/115410133212647735/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9735683&amp;postID=115410133212647735' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/115410133212647735'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/115410133212647735'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/2006/07/here-i-am-tryin-to-brainstorm-abt-wat.html' title=''/><author><name>xiphius</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346093871255764671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9735683.post-115303873761558723</id><published>2006-07-16T16:18:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-07-16T16:32:17.626+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>my grandma has the most heart-warming smile ive ever seen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i swear.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9735683-115303873761558723?l=urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/feeds/115303873761558723/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9735683&amp;postID=115303873761558723' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/115303873761558723'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9735683/posts/default/115303873761558723'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://urbelowaveragejoe.blogspot.com/2006/07/my-grandma-has-most-heart-warming.html' title=''/><author><name>xiphius</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11346093871255764671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9735683.post-115193852491144049</id><published>2006-07-03T22:25:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-07-03T22:55:24.930+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>ok fine. i shall blog for nat's sake who threatened to chopped me into pieces with a parang if i still dont blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;evil evil evil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;u see. its not dat i don wanna blog. theres nth much for me to blog at all. its ns ns and ns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i cant disclose much info regarding my trainin schedule either. the military intelligence might already be eyeing my blog&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;( hey i sing national anthem everyday ok. hey wait, not everyday.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and den u will see MP gordon barging into my house like jugglenaut and capture me with his brute strength. but of coz, no one knows i have jean grey's powers.

results. wat to do, shes oredi happy dat i actually improved from a 197PSLE score to such grades now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but still... i know myself best&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ive been asking everyone whether i shd be happy or sad coz my grades r far too average.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;like my msn nick suggests : not high not low. not good not bad. middle of nowhere. shd i be happy or sad?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;some told me dat with this grades, i sure can get into the local uni.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but still... i know myself best&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i dunno y. but i get so worried when i dunno which route i shd choose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;u see. if i got bad grades, i would most probably be happy. coz at least i know i shd start finding for a decent private uni or watever poly courses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and if i got good grades, i would most probably be happy too. wu wont.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but u see. im like so stuck in the middle. wat if my grades r not enuff for a local uni? wat if i cannot get into a local uni? wat if wat if...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my sis told me to rest assured dat i can get into a local uni course. but u see, shes not the principal of nus ntu or smu. so yea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and having such funni grades, my options r of cuz limited. very limited. the admission office ppl will juz glance and delete my application after seeing dat 'no-big-deal' grades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but im kinda glad dat i passed my gp though. my close frenz shd know dat i oways suck in gp. its like forever failing, even for my prelims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but still... so wat if i passed my gp. my subjs grades r still atrocious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;pls tell me wat to do...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my sister happy. my dad

prepared dat im kinda 'invulnerable' to this. But still, i know ( since i was 12) the seriousness of not getting good results for A's. but i cant do anythin abt it rite. its as if they will return back our scripts and let us bargain for dat xtra mark that might cause a dramatic change to our future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so i prefer sticking to my original plan : be optimistic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;u see. there is nth much we can do if we got bad grades, except for crying and complainin to everyone dat uve actually put in so much effort but still culdnt achieve the required grades. but i know for myself, i didnt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but i prefer a more practical move : findin and sourcing ard for an alternative route. be it NIE private uni or poly. its alot better than locking urself up for several weeks and staring at the certificate which cant reli do anythin abt it. unless yall mad enuff to blanko it and start imaginatin how wonderful ur life would be if u hav those remarkable grades. yea dream on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and if ure a lucky bastard and got good grades.
