man even my blog gets more hits than evening drama..whatever happened to its readers?
more so, its writers? hahaha

like a few people noticed, yes it is somehow turning into george drama :p

So I was looking through the templates that came with my handphone, and I realised how lazy people are! I mean come on! Do you actually need a template just for 'Thank You'??? SHIT! just check out the templates which are on my phone:

'I am late, I will be there at'
'See you at'
'See you in'
'Please call'
'Happy Birthday'

and here comes the best one ever!

'I love you too'

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

is it just me who finds it funny?

I mean seriously! who needs these templates anyway?? it'll take you like 4 seconds to type 'thank you' with your keypad! instead of navigating through all the menus to insert those 2 words in..i mean, to think that people actually use these things! (if there wasn't a demand, they wouldn't have been implemented right?)

like it would kill you to type out 'I love you too' to someone you love!

you know those Kbs could have been kept for more photos or messages to be stored, but no, you're forced to have them! (I can't delete them, I've tried!)

Well, if any of you disagree, please comment and say why, I'd be excited to hear from users of such templates :D

You know, I've never really been into cars, bikes, whatever. They've always just been a form of transport for me. My view was something like, if it gets me from point A to point B without resulting in severe injury and/or death to riders, drivers and/or pedestrains, thats all I need to know.

So whenever I'm walking along the street with a bunch of you guys, and a nice car suddenly goes by, the conversation usually goes something like this:

"Hey check out the Skyline/Evo/Spider/Whatever."

"Erm...yeah...why does it have fluroescent lighting?"

"Because its cool!"

"Oh. But wouldn't it drain your batt if you left it on by accident or something? And anyways, why the hell would anyone buy a coupe? Damned back seats are impossible to fit into..."

I'm not a big fan, as you can probably tell. But today, I saw something which made me realise, even I have my limits.

I was on a taxi on the way to work today, chatting to the driver, when suddenly, this man riding this....THING.... cuts in front of us. I just glanced at him, then started saying something to the taxi driver, when I just suddenly jerked back for a second look.

And in front of me, was a guy riding...a moped.

Alright, I'm sure you've all heard the joke before. About how having a moped is like having a fat girlfriend, since its alright to ride both until your friends find out. I'm usually not that shallow.

But seriously, the THING being ridden in front of me had no justification for being on the road.

First off, it was UGLY. It had an ugly ass which girls with ugly asses would be grateful to god for not having. It was this big, bloated, monstrosity which looked to be designed for maximum wind resistance. You know those old fashioned wings they have on those older American sports cars? Big, gaudy and ugly in exactly that sense.

For another thing, it was PINK. Not dark reddish vermillion pink.

Bright, shiny, electric, 'Welcome to Las Vegas', 'Come into our Brothel' neon pink.

Alright, so fine. Someone has the bad taste to ride an ugly moped with an ugly colour.

Well it wasn't just an ugly colour. It was pink no doubt. And I'm sure you'd think that nothing could get worse than pink right? I mean, if there was something else on the bike that reduced the amount of pink, it'd be a good thing, right?

Well there was. The pink was liberally sprinkled with a nice pansy floral design. So not is it only and ugly ass pink moped, its an ugly ass pink moped with floral designs. It reminded me of something from a sanitary pad and tampon advertisment.

And you know how most mopeds have like a box at the back for storing stuff? Like how the Pizza Hut motorbikes have that Pizza Hut box to put pizzas in?

Well this moped didn't have a box. It had a basket. A nice, bright shiny green, white and purple basket.

Whoever weaved that thing was colourblind. I mean, some people have no taste in colour right? Well the weaver obviously had NEGATIVE taste, since not only was the basket unattractive, it was eye-stabbingly hideous.

So, fine, you saw an guy riding an ugly bike Yang. Get over it. Not everyone is a rich prick like you. Take pity on the people who can't afford anything better.

Fine. I don't like making fun of people. So I just raised an eyebrow and proceeded to ignore the guy and resume my conversation with the taxi driver.

We stop at a traffic light. And I look out the window, and there's that ugly moped. I roll my eyes. Geez.

Then I notice the guy riding it has a tattoo. He's pretty close by, like half a meter away. I'm like, what kind of tough as nails kinda guy with a tattoo rides a sissy mobile like that anyways? So I try to take a closer look at the tattoo. Its got something written on it. I squint a little bit.

And then, I see what it says.

Its a picture with barbed wire, bleeding hearts with a dagger through it and serpents and shit all over it.

And written in the heart, are these words, which from now on cause me laughing fits of an uncontrollable nature:

Hell's Angels. Riding Only What Real Men Ride.

i've read and heard quite alot about this phenomenom (well not really :p) but anyways, what is this one hour break up all about? are there rules? is there a purpose? a point?

5PM
'let's break up'
'no! honey! please! no!'
'i'm sorry, it has to be done'

6PM
'im sorry about earlier..'
'its okay! i forgive you! i love you so much!'
'i love you too'

sometimes couples decide to breakup, and then get back together (from one hour to a few days later, it depends really), and it happens regularly! i mean, is there a point? what's the use of breaking up if you're getting back together again? i really don't understand :P

and when you break up, doesn't it reset your relationship when you get back together?
"hey! how long have you been together with her?"
"oh, about 2 years"
"but i thought you told me you broke up with your girl friend when i met you last month!"
"yah, but we got back together!"

so i guess it doesn't reset the relationship..then what's the point?
i mean breaking up for like one hour (or a few days) is like urm having a nap? or going for a movie with your friends? or going away for the weekend?

does it do anything for a relationship? the only thing i know it does is bring misery for the few days while it lasts?

like how i heard that its always the first few days/weeks/months of a relationship, everything kicks ass, its only after that you start to realise the shit you didn't notice :P so if you get back together, shouldn't it reset the relationship to the beginning? if that's the case, then I see a point, but if not, what's the point??

which brings me to another topic: trial separation! another great idea invented by I dont know who! is there a point to it?! what's the point of pretending to break up?? or breaking up when you know you'll be together again in the end?
i think it's just an easier way of telling your partner "i've been cheating on you"! really, i think it's bad news if you hear it.. imagine if your partner gets a new partner while on trial separation! Loser! ROFL
i mean i would've seen it coming, i would be 'if you want to date someone else just say so, i never really liked you anyway' HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

okay no i wouldn't say that, but yeah, you couples out there..you shouldn't break up for an hour..it's just a stupid thing to do..and if your partner suggests a 'trial separation' he/she is cheating on you, and you should just end it anyway :P

wow! that was great advice from love doctor, George!

'is it just me or is it fun to make fun of people in relationships?'
'no george you're just sore'
'oh'

there's been a lack of a technological focus on evening drama, and so I came up with one!

I was reading In-Tech (this IT supplement from The Star) the other day, and I came across a anti-microsoft law suit which I just thought was ridiculous!

Apparently, Microsoft was being sued by another company for the inclusion of Windows Media Player with their Windows XP OS. By this, Microsoft had supposedly monopolized the media player market..

Did anyone see the problem here? What's stopping people from using other media players if they aren't satisfied with WMP?

Microsoft didn't have a problem when everyone else started using Firefox instead of IE.
IE was free, and came with Windows!

Which got me thinking- WMP is free- last time i checked, didn't people like free stuff?? and if WMP actually cost something, and people had to pay extra for it, then forcing people to pay for it would be wrong, but Microsoft is doing no such thing- they're just saving you the hassle of downloading a media player!

If people actually disliked WMP on their PCs they could just find another one!

And as far as I know, Media player has been coming free with Windows OS ever since Windows 95! but for the company to sue Microsoft over putting it in Windows XP is just stupid, why didn't they bring it up earlier?

I think these companies should spend more time developing software which customers want and will use, instead of trying to strike gold suing a big ass company over stupid reasons!

I nearly gave myself fits yesterday. I was panicking, running around the house, praying, cursing, begging, tossing things in all directions, like some lunatic who just escaped from the local asylum.

All because I couldn't find my phone and I was expecting a call.

Fortunately, this sad little story has a happy ending. I managed to find my phone. I'd accidentally tossed it into the laundry basket with my jeans. Close escape.

Which led me to think about a lot of things. Mainly how dependant on my phone I actually was.

Its got numbers of all my friends in it. And several of these friends I would never see again if I lost my phone. The number there is literally the only teneous link I mantain with them.

I can't even remember a single number. I mean seriously. Every new friend you meet, every new client you shake hands with, every girl you dance with, every guy you get into a game of pool or soccer with, goes straight into the phone. Why bother even remembering?

When I was back in Primary, I actually wrote my friend's numbers down. Called them from my house phone often enough, and eventually the numbers would get engrained in my head. I still remember the house number of a friend who I've known since primary. And he still remembers mine.

Which brings us to today. How did people my age back then keep track of all the numbers??? I mean I can imagine the girls all having a neat little organiser where they keep all their numbers. But the guys? All I have a vague memories of little pieces of paper with numbers scribbled on them. And with all the numbers I have in my phone right now, I'd need a whole post-it pad to keep track.

If you really take some time to think about it, you realise how all these small little things are really big things. And how these little changes are really really big changes.

Imagine yourself maybe 10, 15 years from now. Imagine trying to tell your kids you actually used to write things down. On paper. Sounds a bit far fetched? I wouldn't know.

I felt a little lost for a moment when I thought back and imagined my children having experiences completely different from what I had.

My childhood brought a lot of good memories. And to realise that my children will have none of the kind I have, made wonder whether living in the past sometimes is such a bad thing at all.

Today I was cleaning up my cupboard, and arranging my clothes nicely..anyways I found some shirts which I hardly wear- collared t-shirts..

I don't know why I don't like wearing them..I guess it's the restrictiveness that a collar brings, or how it reminds me of my school uniform..

I like the idea of a school uniform, but I didn't really like the uniforms we had back in school..why couldn't we have normal buttoned shirts like everyone else? noo we had to wear collared polo t shirts which cost a bomb! and the blue pants! hahaha next time if I ever own a school, I'll make the coolest uniforms ever, and kids won't mind wearing their uniforms!

School days..the other day I found a pair of pants which I used to wear back in Year7, and I could still fit into them! hahaha

Speaking of pants, did you know it costs 10 bucks to replace a broken zipper? That kinda suprised me the other day when I took my pants to the tailor's to fix..

You could do alot of things with 10 bucks..eat a meal at a fast food restaurant, buy a magazine, play 5 rounds of initial D, buy 200 sweets, buy 10 copies of the malay mail, make a difference in somebody's life by donating it..or you could fix a broken zipper..

Could 10 bucks really change the life of somebody else? I mean, if you donated 10 bucks to a charity, wouldn't it be split up evenly to buy stuff for the people, and from your 10 ringgit wouldn't everyone get like 1/10th of a sen or less? and you cannot possibly do anything with that tiny bit of money..I guess you need to donate about 10,000 ringgit to single handedly change some lives..

You know, you could buy an AE86 Trueno Sprinter for 10,000 :P

ever wondered what it is you need to do to get that girl to say 'yes' to go out with you? fret no more! george is here!

i realised i figured out a definite way to secure a date with a girl- you promise them something! hahaha and if they make sure you keep your promise, tada! you have an outing e.g. 'i'll treat you to ice cream after your finals!' and the girl goes 'promise me!' and you promise, and next time you ask her out, you say you're going to take her for ice cream cos she made you promise to do so, and she can't refuse! unless she dislikes you..then it's out of your hands..haha

have you guys ever seen that credit card advert in the cinemas, where the girl tries on this peacock dress but sees its too expensive and puts it back..the guy sees this (obviously) and buys the dress for her secretly..later, she gets the dress and she becomes happy, end of advert. from this we have learnt something- women are materialistic! gifts make them happy! i'm serious! and so-

another way to get her to go out with her would be buying her something! say you bought her something and you want to give it to her in person, tada! there's a date already! and you know what's better than buying her something? lending her something! then you meet up to give her what ever you're lending her, and then you get to meet up again cos she has to return it to you!

man i rock
hahaha

(btw and i use the term 'date' loosely here- basically meaning an outing with you and her only, romantic or not, that's up to you :p)

effectiveness is increased with the worth of the gift (e.g. candy vs. diamond ring, cmon which do you think she'd go out with you for?) or you could be mysterious about it :p

Haha, I'm encouraged by George's example. And even though I'm only semi-sober, I will post something.

I just got back from Chinablack, one of the few clubs here in Singapore that actually play R&B, and actually has a younger crowd.

I was supposed to have 6 friends with me.

One got stomach pains.

Another had a family appointment.

The third had an early day.

Number four was sleeping.

The next was out of the country.

And the last just couldn't be arsed to get his ass off the couch.

So what happens? I ended up at the club alone.

But personally, it wasn't that bad. I drank to get loose. I danced to get some exercise.

And at the end of the night, I had three numbers, and three new friends.

Female friends.

And they all have my MSN.

What Geo says is true. Though perhaps it might at times seem a little sad to only be able to converse through MSN to a good looking girl, MSN does help.

But if you want to use MSN, you gotta go to the club and pick the numbers up first. =)

today someone asked me 'do i have to pay you to add you to my msn list?'
i said 'yeah, it costs rm5'
he replied 'okay, here's five' and handed me a five ringgit note
i said 'sucker!' and ran away

haha just kidding

since there hasn't been a post in ages (i'm wondering why) i decided to breathe some life back into this blog, and so here I am!

"if it wasn't for the internet i wouldn't know so many chicks"
how many of you feel that way? and without the internet, you'd be friendless and lonely

i think the internet has opened many doors for people to get to know new people, and make new friends, and even creating relationships in the process.. i've got a few friends who got into relationships online, even before meeting their partners for the first time!

like wow..it's like straight out of a movie! like a fairy tale! meet your partner, online! how many of you can say that it works? i know i can't, for me, i'd need to have met her in person first..for a few of my friends all they needed were photos and they were satisfied! haha but sometimes they turn out to be very different looking from their photos! i've heard horror stories before, and they never have happy endings :p

sometimes it's not really about the looks, its about their personality..alot of people are very very different online and offline..someone you can talk alot with online could turn out to be real boring in person because he/she is too shy to talk without a nickname to hide behind..alot of people use the internet as a place to breakaway from their own life, to make some people think they're something they're not

yes i have met a few people through the internet before, and they don't always turn out like what you had in mind.. haha

with the advent of friendster, i think the online dating scene has gotten much bigger..just a quick look through the gallery and you can find at least 50 girls/boys who match what you are looking for..but whether you end up going out with them is another story :p

for me, the internet hasnt gotten me into the lives of many girls or vice-versa :p, but it has helped me get to know the ones i already know, better :)

recently i've been having trouble sleeping and i suspect i might be suffering from insomnia, but i can't be bothered to go to a doctor to see what's wrong :p usually i rarely have problems sleeping as i used to train to sleep when i was younger- my mum FORCED me to take naps in the afternoon, so i wouldn't play so much or watch too much tv during the weekends! and on school days my bedtime was 6pm! so yeah sleeping was a huge part of my life when i was younger, but nowadays when i decide to sleep in or take naps, i get scolded from (who else but) my mum :p so there's something very wrong here haha

usually i have trouble sleeping when- there's something happening the next day and i'm really excited about it (like back in school, when the next day was mufti day or a party day, i could never sleep!) or i've been taking too much caffeine (i tried having 2 large cups of ice blended mocha at 10pm before..i ended up sleeping 7am..haha fuck!) or i've had sleep earlier in the afternoon, and so i wasn't that tired yet

but the past couple of weeks, i haven't touched any coffee or had anything really exciting going on, or taken any naps in the afternoon, but i have trouble sleeping! i go to bed and usually lie there (smsing people or playing snake 2 or space impact when i'm out of credit) for an hour or more before i finally fall asleep

so i have come up with a list of methods to help people who have trouble sleeping to fall asleep..i don't garuantee anything, and try them at your own risk :p hahaha

1) counting sheep- this is seriously stupid :p and i can testify to that! i get to 100 so easily and i'm getting closer to sleep than i am to getting a girlfriend! haha maybe it worked for little kids who can't count that high, so they'll fall asleep trying to figure out the next number..i find counting sheep to be very boring as well, but it never puts me to sleep..i'd like to think you get more alert since you're using your brain to count

2) listening to music- when i was younger i used to fall asleep by listening to loud music (limp bizkit anyone?) every night and it would work like a charm! but now loud music doesn't seem to have the same effect on me anymore..i've tried soft music (stuff like Yani and Straylight Run- strings and piano etc) and it's worked a couple of times, but not everytime..sometimes even soft music can get annoying for some reason and you want it off! and if i'm put on my favourite cds, i sing along to every song till the end of the cd, and i'm still awake..so to me, music isn't very effective

3) reading- finally, a method which works! you read and read until you get so tired you fall asleep- this has always worked for me, but there's a problem- i have to be lying on my bed and reading..if i'm sitting up and reading i don't get tired, but more alert instead, and reading while lying down is supposed to fuck up your eyes, which is true haha i remember hiding under blankets with a torchlight to read story books when i was younger..i started wearing glasses in primary 5..haha so i rarely use this method, unless i have a really good book that has got me hooked on it

4) and now the taboo method which nobody will talk about- wanking! - haha i remember this used to work- i'd get so tired after wanking i'd fall asleep almost right after, but it doesn't work anymore! i guess my body built up resistance or something hahahaha apparently sex makes you real tired though, but i can't attest to that :P

5) sleeping pills- i haven't tried them before..don't have any at home..but i'm afraid if i took them i'd OD hahahaha how do they work anyway? do they make your body produce 'tiring hormones'? are there such hormones? hahahaha

6) just lie there till you fall asleep :p apparently- the more you want to fall asleep, the harder it is to go to sleep, but the more you want to stay awake, the higher the chance you'll fall asleep trying..so i always thought to myself 'stay awake, so my body will make me fall asleep!' but then i realised- wouldn't my body know i was trying to fool my own body into falling asleep and keep me up instead? hahaha

well those are all the methods which i know about and have used (except the pills) and hopefully they'll be helpful to anyone with sleeping problems out there
if you have any tips of your own, feel free to share them!

I always thought New Year was a funny concept. Why do we always crap up the year so badly we're always so happy to see it go? Why can't we all have good years, and then look forward to even better times?

Anyways, I figured it'd be nice to see what resolutions people have made for this coming year. Here's mine:

1. Club more often.
I have no idea why, but I figured, I'm over 18, I'm still young, might as well. I enjoy the activity heaps. So more boozing, more dancing, and of course, more women.

2. Study harder.
My parents do pay. I suppose the least I could do is get some decent marks. And if I get good enough marks, my parents tell me they'll pay for future study. More clubbing!!!

3. Get a job.
I've been putting this one off too long, and when I think about why, I really have no idea why. I mean, its not that I hate my job. It pays well. I enjoy doing it well. Must be just the sheer strength of procrastination.

4. Micellaneous social activities.
Erm...this one sounds vague and dodgy on purpose. General improvement with my relations with people. Not just girl people. Other people as well. Bother to have lunch once in a while, etc etc.

So that's what I'm aiming for. Not many bells and whistles. But it keeps me happy.
