3 CheeBye Things (M18: Vugarities)

I am sorrie for not updating my blog more regularly. Lately there's a lot of lab reports and projects to do. The exams are also nearing so I am SUPER BUSY....

No lah... I say for fun only. Actually I not busy but since NUS students always like to complain in this way I feel should join in oso. Haha. But since now really got nothing to do while waiting for my Organic Chemistry Lecture to start, just update on something I feel very strongly

Talking about joining in there are somethings I will never join in one.

That is talking loudly and laughing at every stupid silly thing. But here in the brainforest of Clementi, it seems that the girls like to do just that. And some guys too

Cheebye

On the bus talk like fish market, on the train talk like vegetable market lecture still talk like in the cheebye market. Laugh oso laugh super loudly like the WHOLE Life never laugh before like that.

And the worst is that they laugh at every silly little thing, even things that are not suppose to be funny.

During Sociology lecture yesterday we watch '15' by Royston Tan. No...no... Mimi not the full version but the censored one. So no erected penis.

Anyway it is supposed to be very sad, disturbing. The kids in '15' are lost in the Singapore concrete jungle...

Somethings not suppose to be funny but because the way Royston Tan filmed it it appeared funny to these cheebye people. They laughed, even when suppose to be unfunny. So fucking immature...... Yet are the supposedly elite bunch of Singaporeans. Elite MY A**

Cheebye

Suppose to watch 'Lan Yu' but by the time I ready to check out the timings the movie was taken down liao. I really regret it. I heard it was such a good movie but got no time to see it. Fantastically f##ked up sense of timing. Anyway got no time so cannot go. Sigh!!

CheeBye
I took a taxi down to the Brainforest of Clementi to hand up a lab report as I was late. I choose a shorter road for the uncle. He complied but halfway on the shorter route he make a stupid cheebye detour and drive me around the sunny island. Kannena!!! Its literally taking me for a ride. The taxi fare was a f$$king 18 dollars. suppose to pay twelve dollars only usually. When i give him very buay song face he acted kind and charge me only $16 dollars. Yeah Yeah as if it made a cheebye difference. Kannena!!

Everyday meet cheebye things, in and out of Brainforest. Must run away. Run away from all these cheebye things

Run Lola Run

Run Lola Run

I have never actually seen the movie... but I heard it was quite good

The title always makes me feel good. It sounds like a movie about liberation, about freedom....

Though i have never seen the movie, I always imagine that Lola is a shoulder-length hair young girl in a red-polka dot dress. In my mind Lola run and run. Do nothing else but run. Small drops of tears trickle down from her face as she runs. I cannot tell whether she is happy or sad. But we both know that she has to keep running. Abit like the girl in the Jack Neo film Home Run.

Mimi, what did you say?? No no..... I will not make a bad director..... but i think u are quite correct in saying that nobody wants to watch a movie where the girl does nothing else but run.

How I wish I could be like Lola in my version of the movie.

No John. I dun want to be a girl. Thats not funny so stop laughing. I said I want to be like her.

Run KT run

Run away from the brainforest of Clementi

Run away from the morons surrounding you

Run to a place where everybody accepts you

Run to where you feel wanted

Run to where you will not be different

Run away from this cruel world

Run away from all your heart-breaking troubles

Run for your own freedom

Run for your liberation

Run run away!

Fisherman's Friend

Hi

Some house keeping matters again

On my much controversial Quadrilogy on Romance on the three kingdoms, please note that i have accepted all of them and digested the feedback for better blog postings. Oh btw, for some people's info, i got positive comments oso. People on MSN tell me its good. For those who strongly feel boring one, i very open to feedback one so GO TO HELL!! No lah..... XiaoMing, jus joKING.... Why take it so serious? haha

Another thing: Superhost-to-be GEKL experience some bad service dun noe when but he got say on his blog. Seems like less good looking people like us always get bad service. He wants people to help him spread the news. Given the influential status of my blog ( John dun vomit) and i oso hate bad service this one i must join in. Its a shop in heeren call dun noe what designs what groove one lah.

I not saying dun patronise the shop. If i like the shirt i will still go there. 100 dolars is not much to me..... But i think shouldn't patronise shops with bad service otherwise they think they can get away with it. But i never say dun patronise the heeren shop hor. I just say dun patronise shops with bad service

Anyway posting proper.

I got a friend.

No... no... not terry koh .... another one.

He is called fisherman.

I guess that makes me fisherman's friend. haha

He have alot of friends. But the friends all never find him one. They find john find peter find mary but never find him. He feel neglected and sad. So he never catch fish oredi. Whole day sit in house only. Sometimes go buy his fav you mian (thin noodles) to eat. Other times go buy newspaper.

One day he heard his friends all go to one busstop to take bus. He think its a good idea to go there to see if any friend would find him go out. I think its only a okay idea lah Not a great one.

So he wear his best fisherman attire and went there to wait. From morning wait until evening. From evening wait until night. From night wait until morning. Day after day and month after month.

Still no friends arrive before him. No friends came along and ask him go out. He meet a lot of different people who walks all type of life. But no friends. Everybody just come to busstop wait for bus then disappear with the bus. The onli thing that is constant there is him

Soon fisherman collected dust and spider web all over the body. Soon a cloth of dust and dirt found ard him. Soon a cocoon covered him.

Sorrie... mary what did you say?? No no.... he never hibernate in the cocoon. Dun be silly he is not a caterpilla.

I went to visit him at the busstop the other day and clear his webs and dust But he still waiting for his friends.

If you see him at the busstop, would you go out with him for awhile??

Service, Re-service, De-service (R21: Liberal Profanities)

Girls and Boys nowadays very rude. In the brainforest of clementi, I encounter super many rude boys.... and even girls. Boys suppose to be more rude but nowadays girls oso quite rude. They brush by you without saying excuse me. They elbow you then never say sorrie. Today when I attend biodiversity and tue i attend physiology lab, girls just push the attendance file to me and say: Pass to the other side. So rough. Rougher than the rough surface of the moon.

All these people SO RUDE oso. More RUDE than the auntie in 'Tao Gay not enough'

Nowadays people talk very much about Singapore service standards. Ever since 'Tao Gay not enough' come out on National Rally, now everybody bombard service, re-service, serviceman and servicewoman.

For those who dun noe, 'Tao Gay not enough' is not a show about Gays. It is the hokkien word for bean sprout.... No no, Mary.... Bean sprouts have no sexual preference. It is just spelt like that in Hokkien. It is just coincidence. The short film clip is shown by PM Lee to show service not good in singapore during the national rally

But after I always see all these rude people, I think of course singapore service no good lah. Service is about good manners. Saying hi, thanx, sorrie and smiling come naturally one. When customer rude you must not show attitude. Must mind your manners. If you no manners, training oso no use arh. Take train to Shanghai better

Singaporean customers oso damn fucking rude one leh. Other people son and daughter not for us to fucking step on one okay. Sometimes i see people think they got a few fucking cents want to act big fuck. If me I ask them go fuck themselves. Dun be so rude okay cheebye.

I think Singapore should go on a courtesy campaign again. After so many years we still fucking rude. since we are educated must mind manners and be polite at all times. Like my friend WL. He confront the waitress at beijing la mian oso very polite one.

Learn from me oso. When I go restaurant or shop and the serviceman do something good, I smile and sincerely say thank you.

I now quite capable and got career so no need become waiter. Otherwise when I waiter tat time, and customer rude to me, I will say nicely: Sir/Mdm i am sorrie but if you continue to be rude, this hot soup here will end up in your face and you will really be in hot soup

I think forget it. Lets all go for National Service.

terry koh

I noe of a friend.

His name is terry koh.

He has a very big problem.

No... no, he is not fat.

Fattiness is not a problem.... well yeah.... but not a big problem. Not until you heart attack at least.

Terry was born with a tail.

Yeah, a tail like a monkey like that.

Dun laugh. Its real...its not funny.

From young, everybody laugh at him. From boy to man, people still laughing. 'Hahaha, you see that boy mama. He got a tail.' a girl said. 'Hahaaha, like monkey.' said the fat mama, her fatty fats floating into her sides. 'hahaha, call the zoo, a monkey on the loose' said a fat and noisy and ugly looking boy.

'Hahaha, look at that man, mary' said a kaypoh girl.'Oh my god, why he got tail one' said mary. Jane joined in, 'what the.... why this man got tail one, dun go close maybe he is evolved monkey. lets run' then the trio burst into laughter (WAHAHAHAHAHA!!!)

But terry burst into tears. Not in front of those who laughed at him. He dun wanna appear petty or weak. He laugh it away with them or sometimes pretend not to hear. He go home and burst. Sometimes nobody then burst. Sometimes burst when the tv is on. Sometimes burst on the bus. sometimes burst when balloon burst.

He told his mama to help him remove the tail. His mama say go see doctor. Nowadays doctor must have something then can proceed. No..... no. Not a kind heart. This is not hongkong drama serial. Yes yes money. But mama say NKF never help this kind of thing so cannot do liao.

So terry still running around with tail. He wanted to cut the tail off himself but got no courage. He, me and you all scared of pain. Not cartoon so really will be painful.

So what to do? Go everywhere with tail. Everybody still laugh burstingly. Terry no longer burst. Too tired, he tells me.

Sometimes I put a hand around him and console him. But consoling means running away from reality. So terry doesn't want my sympathies.

He took a job which i offered. He earning money to go cut his tail. Meanwhile he ties it around his waist and hide it under his oversized shirt.

He is already 34 this year

If you see him anywhere, can you please not laugh at him?

My Busy Life

Hi

Some housekeeping matters... Some people complain that I never ever reveal results to God's mini polls. Okay... here are the results

1) People who don't move inwards on buses are most hated
2) Asia's Biggest Diva is Faye Wong. (Sorrie, no....how can it be Ho Yeow Sun?)
3) Most people would save 5000 dollars for future rainy days. (Yeah.... I oso think so... becoz S'pore rainfall quite high)

And thanks for the feedback on my Three Kingdoms Quadrilogy. I have always wanted to tell the story my way. The quadrilogy is very non-mainstream, because i am actually very indie at heart.

Okay posting proper.

I live in a busy world

Not because I am busy. It is everybody else who are busy. Too busy to ask me go out for a meal, too busy to meet me in school,too busy to watch movie with me. Too busy to go buy things with me. Too busy to talk on the phone, too busy to talk on msn, too busy to let me interview, too busy to do anything else except do what they are doing.

I haven't watch a movie for a very long time. Nobody ask me. I asked but nobody NOT busy. Tried watching movies alone. But can't possibly do it all the time because not fun. Watch movie suppose to be fun.

Sometimes you all so busy, I wonder if you all would be too busy to come to my funeral if I died.

If nobody come den not fun already. Like birthday party but onli you and yourself celebrate. Please dun brush me off as being too dramatic. (GEKL especially) I am really beginning to think that everyone will be so busy that nobody will noe that I am holding a funeral.

If I really go off first, I get my friend to spread the message. You all make time to come my farewell party can? If dun come oso never mind, I won't be going to yours aniwae

So what if you all so goddamn busy? When it all ends, you will be the loneliest person in the world.

葫芦谷之战(The Battle at Bottle Gourd Valley)

葫芦谷(Bottle Gourd Valley) the place where Sima Yi (Zhongda) and Zhuge Liang(Kongming) had their last great battle.

Bottle Gourd Valley is very narrow and movement through it is very hindered.

In his last attempt to win Sima Yi, Kongming decided to use this advantageous ground to kill Sima Yi. His plan was to lure Sima Yi and his troops into the valley, trap them and kill them with fire. Foolproof plan it was, because the plan was executed so subtly that Sima Yi never guessed that there was something wrong.

As Kongming as expected, he succeeded in luring Sima Yi into the valley. The valley full of combustible material, burned when 5000 troops on each side of the valley set fire to the materials. Sima Yi cried to his two sons: The three of us family are going to die here today. Arghhhh!!!

But then the winds rose and the dark clouds grew. Then a strong thunderstorm came. Yes you guessed it, the storm blew out Zhuge Liang's efforts to kill Sima Yi and allowed him to escape.

At that point of time, Zhuge Liang was so frustrated and helpless that he sighed and looked to the skies. "Oh you infinite skies. I could plan much but you let me down just as much. Heaven is not on my side (某事在人,成事在天,天不助我也)", he said loudly to the Heavens.

After that, Sima Yi was so frightened that he never ever engaged Zhuge Liang. He held on at his position and waited for Zhuge Liang to die. Indeed, Zhuge Liang could not find any other way to fight Sima Yi and he died at Wuzhangyuan (五丈原), which means Five Yard Plains in English.

Sometimes, things that you planned out will not work out the way you want it to, because probably God is in His Heaven. But that doesn't mean you should give up. You should do your best.

Sometimes no matter how you try to do something, it never works out, it is not meant to be. So let go, like what Buddhism says. Learn to let go and let live. No worries

Sometimes, you don't have to think too much before you do anything. Just do your best and leave the rest up to God, or fate, or the infinite skies, whichever you believe in.

Sometimes its all about luck.

忠言逆耳(Sound advice jars on the ears)

刘备(Liu Bei, Xuande) was a great, kind and much respected king during the three kingdoms period.

He earned the respect and admiration of many, civilians and talent alike. Even 曹操(Cao Cao) and 孙权(Sun Quan), his enemies admired him for his humility and integrity as a person. This is why he won the services of 诸葛孔明(Zhuge Liang, Kongming) the greatest war tactician during the period.

He and 关羽(Guan Yu, Yunchang) were sworn brothers. And that time, sworn brothers dun just smoke together and go cinema watch show and after that drink beer at kopitiam. They fight eat and even lay their intestines on the floor for each other.

So when Guan Yu died at the hands of Sun Quan and company at East-Wu, Liu bei was vey very angry. He was so angry that his yell was heard three mountain ranges away... No lah, I anyhow say one. But he was depressed and angry.

And what do men last time do when they get very angry? They take revenge.

So Liu Bei led about 150000 troops to fight against Sun Quan and company at East Wu. Before he went on the campaign, his ministers have all tried to stop him, most strongly of them all was Zhuge Liang himself. Zhuge Liang say that great men shouldn't act rashly and be dictated by his anger. He also adviced Liu Bei to plan and wait for the correct time to attack. Ruled by emotions, Liu Bei refused.

He failed horribly in his campaign, all the more without Kongming by his side. A general called Lu Su, though no smarter than Kongming himself, managed to burn all seven hundred miles of Liu Bei's camp at war. Liu Bei probably lost without putting up a strong fight.

Because he failed at the campaign, he was left to rue his loss and his foolishness not to listen to Kongming and company. From then on, because of the loss at war and of Guan Yu, Liu Bei took ill at the small city of Baidi (白帝) and finally died there.

Sometimes you just have to listen to others to stay out of trouble. Don't always be so stubborn. It may not have done you in now. You might think that you are where u are now because you have been stubborn and will continue to be. But dun worry, someday u will learn the value of good advice, maybe the hard way. As they say, good advice jars on ears(忠言逆耳)
