Will your answer to this question be no?

"Will your answer to this question be no?"

I saw this question appearing in a book that contains ridiculous questions and even more ridiculous answers today at Kinokuniya in Suntec City. The book was really amusing, and I had a good laugh at the contents.

Anyway my answer is~~

"No. My answer won't be no."

Tata.

I am going off. Ciao.

Tarot Readings and thoughts.



塔羅牌義
命運之輪是不停轉動的,世事萬物也會同時出現變化。不論變化是好是壞,這都是注定的。同時,也只是一個循環。 人們沒辦法阻止命運,而人也不能回到過去,因此人們也應珍惜現在,並且參考過去。因為過去的,可能會再次重演。

愛情運勢
你們倆人的緣分是天注定,這是一場一見鐘情的愛情。你可以理解成一個新的開始,這也是你告白、拍拖的好機會,適宜結婚。你會獲得長久圓滿的姻緣。

--------------------------------------------------------

今天还在想说,

人与人之间的相遇,一定有自己的道理。

--------------------------------------------------------


I always remember a line from SAJC's proud lineage.

"No one is here by chance."

I made choices at junctions, crossroads, and no matter the outcome, I have been glad and satisfied with my life so far, save for a few regrets and disappointments along the way. I sometimes look back and wonder if my decision is correct, but ultimately, I laughed it off, and topped it up with a smile.

I made great friends at different stages and though my life probably could have been better, it does not mean it is not good now too.

SUPERMAN

A wonderful good morning to all~

I woke up at 630am today, at my own accord. I am simply surprised at the wonders that sleeping early can do to my body- I am feeling like SUPERMAN.

Actually, I forced myself to sleep early yesterday, mainly to sleep off the pain that I had inflicted voluntarily to my own body- Extraction of 2 wisdom tooth. The "sleep order" that I had issued to my body was read with contempt and laughed off at 10pm yesterday, because it was uncharacteristic for me to sleep so early.

I managed to fall asleep only after 1230am. But that's enough for me to feel like.. superman~~

I had to admit, yesterday was really an ordeal for me. Blood kept oozing out from the wounds, not withstanding the pain that I had to endure. I could not even say "ouch" because it was really hard to open my mouth. It was then that I realise that saying "ouch" is not a right, it is only a privilege. How many people in the world can raise their voices when they are unhappy about something? Not many. The vast majority can only whine in solitude, drowned by the voices of the society. They are only puppets in their making of their own destiny. But lets not digress too much. Back here.

Today, now. THIS very moment. The pain now is only a niggling reminder of a greater physical sensation yesterday. No swelling, which means Tony Leung remained as Tony Leung, Andy Lau is still Andy Lau, and most importantly, I am still me. Of cause this sounds stupid, but I am.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.. Anyway..

"Hey, ain't I very powerful, feeling like superman!"

I told myself, at the same time digging my nose with utmost ferocity and vigour.

-_-

OOps. I was just imagining the part about digging my nose, as I got this little piece of inspiration from 九把刀

He's not just a normal author, but a fantastic storyteller. More about how this stories touched me next time, and not to mention his nose digging accounts.

End it off here, because I am showing too much of my stupidity.

Friday nite is the mood for love.

Friday nite is the mood for love.


Life.. goes on.. after a breakup.

Not that it resumes normal immediately, because all wounds require time to heal. Just like a normal wound, it is always most painful at the start. The wound might even swell. But time, time heals it all.

It is especially hard to renegotiate your new identity-single hood, and reassess entirely what love really is. However, love is not just about love between a couple. Love intertwines more than just 2 person's lives together. In fact, it encompasses a lot more..

Love is also.. being by a friend's side when he or she is down, and giving her the support and care she needs.

Therefore, life goes on, because friends will always be there to provide you with tender loving care and ultimately, be a guiding light in this dark road ahead.

Like what I wrote before in an sms, "朋友会陪你走出这彷徨的街。"

....

I just hope that Fish Leong's song, 《分手快乐》, will apply to every brokenhearted couple turned single.


真的真的,分手后,其实还可以找到真正属于自己的快乐。

毕竟,每片乌云过后,都是一道温暖着人心的彩虹。

快乐。你行的。





Friday nite is the mood for love.

Difficult customers- us. I and my bro.

~I and my brother exhibited exemplary examples of difficult customers that customer service officers love to hate.~

I was at M1 customer service shop at paragon, to renew my student plan who has expired. I knew my brother was supposed to be present as my plan is under his. However, a service personnel whom I have spoken to earlier over the phone told me that a photocopy of my brother's IC would be enough for renewal of my plan. Therefore, armed with the necessary "ammo" for war with the customer service officer, I appeared in front of the M1 personnel, poised and composed.

He told me at the very least, he needed a confirmation from my brother. Hence he called him. I did not know what my brother told him over the line, but I am assured that he wasn't ready to be a pushover.

In a few seconds, the M1 personnel was "pushed". Over. Game over..

I had a favourable response.

Then I told him of a need to change the existing plan too, to which he said he have to call my brother again.

"Ring".

Over in 10seconds.

I had a favourable response.

I felt sorry for the M1 personnel almost immediately.

"Nothing personal ok."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Later in the evening, just 30minutes earlier, I showed exactly why a coin has 2 sides.

I am really not a good guy. I insist. And I showed why to another service personnel,
a Sony Ericsson Call Centre service personnel. I blasted "shots" of fury at him, because I was pretty appalled at the quality of service that I am getting from SE.

My beloved W960I has been rather naughty. Or it might have been truly sick. Its touch screen works when it feels like it. I suppose it takes after a character trait that I possess. I call it a volatile streak.

Anyway, I went down to Wisma SE Repair Centre 2 weeks ago but I was told that there weren't any spare parts left to repair my phone. However, the cs officer told me that she will give me a call 2 weeks when the parts come in.

Since I did not hear from them, I decided to call the Call Centre myself. Great. They actually have parts now. But trouble brews. The parts were only avaiable on a first come first serve basis. And their policy is that they cannot reserve parts for customers.

...Muffled %$&@*$...

Never mind what I did, or said.

Let just say the service personnel did not enjoy it.

And I got my way. But reservation for only 2 days.

Proj Can, and MSN.

I popped the below line out like popping popcorn yesterday after proj can. I got the inspiration from Chua, and blueberry.

“三秒钟的沉默,
眼神却交换了千言万语。”

..It is those sort of lines that some people like to put in MSN as their nick. Totally ridiculous.
~~~~~~

Well, I can't really remember what I did in Project Can, because there wasn't much can collection on Saturday. IT was so much like MSN.

Most houses that we went to are in "away" mode, where no one is around. Some probably is in "out to lunch" mode.

Then some are practically on "busy" mode. Nudging wasn't even of help.

There was this unit which was blasting some Chinese Oldies. I pressed the door bell a few times, until I heard someone scowling in the house and saying something which I could not make out. But I presumed what is said was pretty unkind.

There was another unit where the owner who seemed to be in her 30s told me she would go and ask her mum if there was any canned food. Then she closed the door. (Be right back mode)

Therefore I waited behind the door. Waited. I waited. I waited till all the cows practically came home. I figured something smell fishy. Therefore, I pressed the doorbell several times, but *poof. You might have thought that person who opened the door at first wasn't real. She went to "offline" mode.

HOWEVER, there are some "ONLINE" ones who gave generously too. Donated stuff like Canned abalones, buddha jumps over the walls are awesome. Other stuff like condensed milk, which might be cheaper tenfold, but they speak of sincerity.

Awwws.. Anyway, I am gg "sign out" real soon.

Goodnight guys and girls. Enjoy the photos uploaded by Chua and pp in facebook. Follow the link below. Accept my apologies for not uploading themselves here.

我才靠嘞!

~
[“呵。。

我只是暂时把我的爱寄放在你那里而已。

如果有一天我收够了利息,

我会把它取回来的。”

我其实想说我这一辈子都只能做亏本生意了。


““靠。你这笑话不好笑。””

。_。

这就是我说了这么感人的话后,你唯一的回应吗?

我才靠嘞!]

Unable to find any momentum to blog, nor overcome the inertia to write something sensible, so chinese bla bla again..

唉,爱.

我明明知道你想走进我的拥抱,
可是我却只能
让你迷失在我的衣角.

我任性的以为,
那一定是拥抱..

也许我找不到更好的理由,
所以我假装不知道.

很抱歉,
我的爱情,好像没有你.

..

唉,爱.

Friday nite is the mood for love.

Friday nite is the mood for love.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
失而复得。。并不容易。

人都有一个怪毛病。

他们只有在失去,
才会了解到拥有的可贵。
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have to concede that I am a lucky chap. I lost my wallet twice in the toilet before and yet I always find it lying where I left it in the first place. It was folly but I was lucky.

Today, at the mrt, I almost lost 2 library books, "不能说的秘密 and "幸福,不见不散". I was taking the last train home from lakeside after talking ~rubbish~ with da bian. I thought I was very alert to make sure da bian took back her 2 books but I clean forgot about mine and I left it on the station seat.

I only realised my carelessness after I reached jurong east mrt. Despite knowing I have no more pasir ris bound train left, I alighted and took the boon lay bound train with the hope that I can find the 2 books. Lady luck was smiling. They were still lying there when I got back to lakeside.

At least, 幸福,不见不散..

You only feel regret when someone or something passed u by after it has first said hello to you.
I hope we seldom say, 幸福,我慢了半拍.

Therefore, always treasure what you have and the people around you. Never take things for granted because things can change in a split second. No one can turn back clock.

.....

Casualpoet




Tata!!~~

I was walking along the busy shop houses of Chinatown in the hot afternoon a few weeks ago when something, at an inconspicuous corner, caught my dizzy attention.

Placed on the wall on the right just in front of a sleazy looking flight of stairs was the poster shown on top.

I have always been a fan and probably a slave to the word creativity. Hence, the curious mind willed the legs to take myself up that sleepy flight of stairs amidst the bustling streets of Chinatown.

What greeted me was the bewildered shop owners - 2 sisters and the boyfriend of the younger sis.
And not to mention another 2 curious guys who saw the poster.

The place was messy, due to the renovation works that were still undergoing but I believe the place will be tastefully done up, judging from that 50% completed work.

Anyway, I enjoyed a small talk with the shop owner but time was pressing me to move on as I had another appointment.

However, I will be back there soon.

The link is http://blog.casualpoet.com instead of the one that is stated on the poster.

Do visit if you are interested. I am not paid to do this. No worries.I just want to promote what I like!! =)

Click on the quick link below. Easier.

oh oh. they have a chinese blog too. this casualpoet really suits my taste la.!

The right feeling.

Nothing spectacular today.

It is an ordinary day; mundane.

I went to teach tuition in the afternoon and I immediately rushed off for fico soccer the moment I stepped home, stuffing dinner in my mouth.

Full stop..

HOWEVER..

I need to make a point after 6 uninteresting lines into this weary post.

Every tuition session without fail, my tuition kid would always coerce me to get a girlfriend, his motive I have no answer to.

Today is ridiculous. He wanted me to get one by November, a deadline he set for me without my consent.

Hmmm. Ok. I am open for relationship talks. Please take a queue number.

LOL.

ok.

ok.

I know that isn't funny.

I need to have the right "feeling", so it isn't any normal baozi that I want. It must be the correct bao. (feeling = filling), and no mantou because they have no feeling.


Yeah. orh. so only baos need apply. (*bishhhhhhh)

The high level monster.

HEEYYY!~~!!

Let me kill one more monster before I leave this game.

Oh dear oh dear. His level is freakishly high. Level 1000.

In the end, I am left with HP: 0.

I am killed by the zzz monster.

I guess no one really beats the zzz monster forever. The only reward is panda eyes even if u KO-ed him for a while.

Which makes me wonder why I am still here.

I am leaving this game now.

This game, I called it reality.

I am playing "Sweet Dreams" next.

Goodnight.

Gullible. Yes, that word.

Gullible. Yes, that word.

I realise how kids can be so gullible. I was young once, and that word fits me like a key to its lock. It struck me when I received a small box of cereals, complimentary with 2 packets of 1 L Marigold milk.

I wanted to eat cereals at night when I was young, but my mum won't allow it. Therefore, she intimidated me by telling me that I will become a monster if I eat it at night because it is supposed to be for breakfast. Nah, I am pretty terrified of monsters and I certainly do not want to scare myself when I look into the mirror.

A few years on, I used that on my cousin, Vanessa, who came over to stay for a few years because her parents sought help from my mum to take care of her. I was 8 years her senior. She was only around 6 that time and me 14?

Ahhh, she has a penchant for meat. Sometimes, I wonder if she is more of a carnivore than an omnivore. One fateful night, in order to stop her from eating too much duck, I resorted to using a similar technique too.

I scared her off simply by saying that the duck monster, Yi Bi Ya Ya (it came from a song, wonders if you know, lol.), will come and take revenge if she keeps on eating. Then I passed her a green ring made of plastic with a V letter embedded on it. I told her this ring will help her ward off any evil, but if she were naughty, I will take the ring away from her.

haaa...

She still remembers Yi Bi Ya Ya.

Time, without you. Love, without you.

Yeah It's all chinese again. Just skip it. LOL. and for those who read it, no, I am not talking about my love. Just chinese writes. =)

如果用时间来计算爱情的话,
一年的时间,不长也不短。
但是,
一切都在那天的10点15分35秒结束了。。

可以说,
爱情跟小说一样。
一定会从哪里开始,
但也一定会有结束的那一天。

差很多的是,
一个扣人心弦的小说,
可以翻回页数,
来重温主角们甜甜的一刻。
但是,
我们的爱情却无法像逆时钟
往回走。

是的,
你曾经住在我心里。

可是现在,
我的爱情,
只剩下你的背影。
