Got wings but cannot fly (Sung to tune of flying without wings)

Everybody's looking for a something
One thing that makes it all complete
You'll find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be

Some find it in the frame of their motorbikes
Some find it in their Aprilia
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you've found that special thing
You have wings but cannot fly

Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary lives
You'll find it in the words of sammie
A simple line can make you laugh or cry

You find it in the nicest honda bikes
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much that means
You've found that special thing
You've wings but cannot fly

So, impossible as they may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
Cos who's to know which one you let go
Would have made you complete

Well, for me it's waking knowing you're downstairs
To watch the sun rise on your frame
To know that I can say I ride you
at any given time or place

It's little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you mine
And it's like have wings but cannot fly
Cos you're my special thing
I've wings but cannot fly

You´re the place my life begins
You'll be where it ends
I've wings but cannot fly
And that's the joy you bring
I've wings but cannot fly

Received this joke via email and tot it was pretty hilarious..so i shall share with u all!

A priest was driving along and saw nun on the side of
the road he stopped and offered her a lift which she
accepted. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing the
habit to open and reveal a leg. The priest looks and
nearly has an accident, and after changing gear lets his
hand slide up her leg. She immediately says "Father
remember psalm 129." The priest apologizes profusely and
removes his hand but is unable to remove his eyes from
her leg. Further on when he changes gear and has oggled
at her leg for the zillionth time he lets the hand slide
up the leg again. The Nun once again says "Father
remember psalm 129" Once again the priest
apologizes "Sorry sister but you know the flesh is
weak." Arriving at the convent the nun gets out and the
priest goes on his way. Once he arrives at his church he
rushes to the bible and looks up psalm 129 it said: "GO
FORTH AND SEEK, FURTHER UP YOU WILL FIND GLORY"

Midweek EPL matches........thinking......

Manu vs wolves...im thinking of betting correct scoreline...

4-0 ($8)
4-1 ($10)
5-0 ($11)

What do you people think?? Comment!

Topic 1: Are foreign expatriates getting better privileges than us Singaporeans??

Inspired by class 95's morning show's Glenn, rod and FD...i have decided that this shall be the first topic i will like to talk about.

In my opinion, i think it's true that expatriates especially caucasians gets more privileges compared to singaporeans. They are perceived as more knowledgable and more intelligent than singaporeans are. That is why they are usually promoted more quickly and are treated well by their bosses. Another reason might be because they are able to speak better english and are more fluent in their speech.

In Bata, this is also the case. Singaporeans are never given the very high posts no matter how hard they work and how long they have served the company. They will rather post foreign "talents" who knows nothing about Singapore and how singaporeans work. I believe it will be more better to give authority to someone that lives here, eat here and breathe the air here. He will know much better which location is suitable and not suitable to open new branches, singaporean's shopping behaviour and how much they are willing to spend.

We singaporeans should not feel inferior. Foreigners be it japanese, caucasians or blackies, do have always have bigger brains than us (although they are usually bigger in size than us lah..hehe). It's time for us to come out of the shadow...forget about the history and traditions...ang mors no longer colonize our land..we can do better than them. Use Sim Wong Hoo as our motivation! He's the boss of thousands of ang mors!

Comments please!

New features on my blog

Have decided i might want to add a hot topic to debate almost everyday on my blog. Hope you people are as sporting and participate..have fun! Will try my best to think of intelligent, hilarious and exciting topics to talk about..cheers!

Secondly..will want to seek expert's view on soccer betting! Will post what i intend to bet and you give me opinions can? haha

Chu Ren Tou Di

Everyday i read the papers..you will see successful entrepreneur..today was no exception...you will read about irene ang's Fly entertainment company. It's pretty interesting and inspiring reading about their successful ventures..downs and ups..shifting from a shabby office with one lingerie company behind to a cool 3 storey building. What's worse..that day there was this story about this 17 years old already his own boss with a business of his own.

I've decided..i shall not wait longer and waste time..life is short and i should do what i want to do. Doing attachment and part-time jobs the past few years has made me realised that i'm not suited to doing office jobs. I just don't really like it. It like the type of environment where i can have my own peranankan style office..my own office..my own staff.

Actually i was supposed to do my own start-up business for my attachment, but the lecturers rejected my proposal because i was doing it alone and they think that by doing alone i won't learn much. What crap!? Won't i learn more by doing everything myself? I did wanted to recruit some of my classmates for this self-employment venture..but most of them weren't keen. Some changed their mind when i told them they might be required to take out certain sum of money to start off as capital, some rather work for companies and earn money. You see i was thinking of doing this online T-shirt Business, aiming mainly at singaporeans first..for more details pls email me at nicholaslimsg@yahoo.com.sg!

Those of you keen to join me in this venture please email me. You will be required to probably come out with a few hundred first..not too much..for us to use as capital. A lot of work and research might have to be done too. As most of us are either schooling or working...we can do our work at home at night first and meet up during the weekends. And those kind hearted business angels that might want to invest your spare cash on this highly profitable business for this ambitious young boy pls let me know too! Thanks! I hope to see some response...thanks!

Why is monday pronounced as month-day and not mon-day?

As usual...monday started out badly...had to drag myself out of bed at 6.30 to go work. However the day wasn't that bad as i was allowed to leave the office at 3pm to install software in 3 bata stores (1 in united square and 2 in amk) So i reached home very early..5pm...and at 5.30 every weekday, channel 8 repeats that nonsense show with the nonsense song can't remember what the title is..all i know is the song goes like "Are your ready?! Bu yao fang qi......" wahahaha...sounds retarded. Anyway it's sung by that flop singapore boyband Peace or something...haha

As i ended early i went to train for my olympics again..starting to improve abit..by 2008..you will see me writing my blog in mandarin as i will be training in Beijing preparing for my matches...wahaha..After training went to chong pang to eat their famour chong pang nasi lemak. Nothing quite special about it i feel...the rice not round and tasty as it was supposed to be..anyway because of that dinner there i missed the last bus home and had to take a cab home! It costed me $7.80 as it's already past midnight...after giving the uncle $8...i was left with 20 cents for the rest of the week...what am i to do...i have only $52 left in my bank and i feel so so so so so sad for myself. Time to start my conman business again wahahahaha.

Every night before i sleep i will lie on my bed and watch tv for awhile. This night was no exception. And by coincidence, i switched channel to channel 5 and they were showing video music awards. The host was hilarious..his name is jimmy something. He posed as eminem, avril, enrique and a few others..sang their song with a change of lyrics and made the whole place rock. I was laughing on my bed too...wahaha..anyway britney's legs looks so so so so so delicious.......opppps

What a Friday

The day started like any other weekday, waking up at 6.30...leaving house at 7.15...reaching peninsula at 8. I continuing surfing the net in the office till around 9am...then my colleague brought me along to the stores because she had to go there to install some softwares. First we went to clementi then jln bukit merah then tiong bahru then bugis then back to office...so tiring man...took us around 6 hours. It wasn't to be so long if not for some problem installing the software at clementi which i myself don't know why.

Anyway after work i was supposed to meet my friends at city hall at 7.15. It was still damn early coz i end work at 5.30 so i went to bras basah to see cues. The shop was pretty cool...it's call TheQshop...it took me awhile before i finally understand how they came out with that name...haha i know i slow lah.

Ok then i met them and we watched this super duper crap show called the league of extraordinary gentlemen...a must miss show! It's up the with the ranks of SuperNova and ermm...days of our lives? Ok anyway it's a super duper super duper nonsense show with machine guns, sword of the sea submarine, tanks and flame throwers during the time of year 1899. It's some dumb fantasy show that has a very bland sense of humour. I didnt laugh throughout the whole show...ohh ya even if i did it was because of the stupidity that actually tickled me. One sentence to summarize all i want to say..."Please do not watch the league of extraordinary gentlemen unless you're stupid or really too too too too too bored."

New task at work!

Recently have a new task assigned to me at work! You see Bata Shoes will be celebrating the re-opening of their newly renovated store at Peninsula Plaza on 8th Sept. It will be the largest shoe retail in Singapore and it'll be very beautiful complete with elevators and three storeys of shoes. It'll be a grand opening with ribbon cutting and lion dance even i heard. Big big big big boss will be coming down all the way from Toronto Canada...Mr Thomas Bata himself.

And my new task is to contact the hotels in Singapore to ask for catering quotations. They want cookies, pastries, eclairs, wine etc provided for the cocktail party that day. I contacted nearly all the big name hotels here in CBD area, a few of them replied and the price is ridiculous...it ranges from $30 - $70 per person...and we're ordering for around 100 people...that will be $3000 - $7000...haha definitely not within budget. However what to do, boss wants to maintain face by having a more high-class catering, that's why Delifrance is out of contention.

Hotel staffs are extremely polite, hospitality course has taught them well..hehe. Ritz Carlton was exceptionally nice and left a deep impression on me. Now i know why they're the only 6 stars hotel in Singapore. I even emailed Phoenix Hotel to ask for quotation just for the sake of asking...over my dead body i'll give them business ever again..for those of you who don't know, i went for their dinner buffet with Puss around 1 year ago. A day after that, diarrhoea came my way...terrible! Oh ya one more place you must must must avoid if you don't want to suffer in the toilet...the buffet place at Marina Square...can't really remember the name of the restaurant but it's a must avoid. I went there also around last year with my gf, mazi, ivory and puss (again)...out of the 5 of us...3 of us had severe diarrhoea after that...terrible terrible!

Ok enough wait they sue me...those of you interested can come down to the new store opening on the 8th sept! Might have a big sale going on for grand opening.......so come on down! But sorry no cocktail party for you all...it's specially for the big bosses and the VIPs...but then i think i can eat! hehe

Yet another boring day

Sigh...nothing to do again...thinking of uploading photos to my yahoo album but then the files all so big and it's taking ages...so i shall go home and do it...You people play insaniqurium? It's quite a fun game...Can't play in my office don't know why..the IE always closes with error whenever i want to play..Haii nothing much happened today leh..so nothing to type...went to Grand Plaza Hotel to take a nap during lunchtime just now...really fell asleep man...so tired...ok lah shall go find some other things to do...byebye

The world today

Have you people read the newspapers today? It's amazing when you read about the murders, robbery, kidnaps, fights, caning, jail etc...they all have one thing in common...they usually involves Indians, Chinamen or other foreign workers. Why do we need them in our country? Ok i admit that are jobs like clearing rubbish that even the poorest Singaporean will think twice before doing. But still, i don't like them around. They make Singapore a dangerous and smelly place to live in sometimes.

Foreigners are usually the one making trouble...even here in Bata. There's this Sri Lankan guy that was posted here on a short attachment or something...and i heard from the rest that he's Santa Claus...and inside his gift bag is problems problems and only problems. HAHA. I heard he makes phone calls to his wife and family almost everyday chalking up huge bills for Bata to settle..ok i don't blame him..he's alone and lonely here..he's a nice family man..i shan talk about him anymore.

But i believe most of you will agree with me...the banglas, thais, indian nationals and chinamen are the worst lot. They can really stink i tell you..even me as a man can't stand it..they smell worse than my dead fishes or even my stinky shoes haha. And sometimes they reek of liquor too..even when i drink i don't smell like this! Especially the blackies..no matter how much they bathe or clean themselves...they will come out and apply the stinky jasmine on them...i say what the!? that shit stinks! And whenever i go home from sam's house..the bus or mrt will be infested with them....wah....gas chamber...the japanese could have used them to torture spies to reveal information...sure to work!

Haha and have you all read the Coca-cola and Pepsi news today? They face the prospect of losing their license in India because they are suspected to contain pesticides in them. I say good job Coke and Pepsi! What an ingenius idea to get rid of the pests in the world! wahahahahaha

Haha ok enough of my racist and biased remarks for now..good day!

My Sunday

My post national day was not bad....woke up late enough. As the day begin, i decided make plans to train for my olympics again, so i met Bernerd and we trained. Haha after that i had to rush to Great World City to catch a free show (Homerun) provided by Sam's Auntie's company Philip Morris. The thing is i watched the show the day before with Clarence and Gabriel...The only thing is that the day before i had missed the first 5 minutes of the show...so i made up for it i guess...anyway it's free watching a 2nd time. The show was alright..not bad i guess..that were hidden mockery of Singapore and Malaysia and they quarrelled over water and some package deal nonsense...haha that Jack Neo asking for trouble..

Oh anyway after that i went on to catch my Air Supply concert. Before entering, i bought another of their CD. The concert started with a song that i have never heard before and didn't really like..they were literally shouting away hehe. They might be old but don't underestimate them, they can still sing and hop around like they can 20 yrs ago. At one point both singers came off the stage and started running around the arena and singing at the same time. It was pretty cool and you can see those die hard fans jumping, screaming and rushing forward to shake their hands..touch them etc. You must think the crowd is old, traditional, conservative etc...no man they were young, energetic, bubbly and i would say rowdy. When Russell Hitchcock finished off one song with "Good night"..the crowd started stomping the ground in protest as they thought it was the end and demanded more songs...Air Supply did reappear and they sang 3 more songs before it's really the end. What a concert, probably the last time we'll ever see them here. The next concert i will want to watch will be Michael Jackson's...I think it'll be so cool...his dancing and his songs...anyone interested to join me?!

Top 5 reject lines thought by me!!! (Random sequence..no ranking)

Hello i'm really bored at work now you know. So thought of 5 reject lines that might be of use to some of you girls especially in Zouk! Guys you might want to try the few pick up lines i made up too! Wahaha

1. Bangla: Helllo miss you so beautiful i'm off today care for a dance around
coconut trees?
Girl: Sorry i'm racist (Wahahahaha)

2. Guy: Hi beautiful can i buy you a drink?
Girl: Make it 2. How about one jug of vodka ribena and one jug of vodka
lime?
(Guy automatically walks off)

3. Guy: I never thought i'll meet you even in my wildest dreams, and i can
really be a wild beast in bed you know...(Grinning)
Girl: Oh yeah i never thought i'll be doing this in my wildest dreams too...
(Kick his dick wahahaha)

4. Guy: Hi in those jeans are there any room for me?
Girl: Fuck off! (This is a bit direct but effective!)

5. Guy: Hi Ni Hao Ma?
Girl: Thanks but my knees are fine...bye (Haha Opps not original)

Zouk on the Eve of National Day

Went there got my ticket cheap $15 coz i went in before 9pm...the charges after 9pm will be $23 for ladies and $28 for guys. You might think i got a great bargain but dammit...i didnt! Firstly, we ordered 2 jugs of drink one a vodka lime one a vodka ribena...guess the price...freaking $88!! I know it's 8th August lah but what's with the price?! Secondly, my 2 drink coupons expired at 11pm and i didnt even know! Fish you Zouk........wahaha..but guess what i used a coin and scrap off the "Coupon valid till 11pm" print on the coupon! We tried using it at Phuture but got rejected not once but twice! So we made our way to Zouk and try our luck..my friend henry put one of his valid coupon together with my unfortunate rejected coupon and went to redeem a Barcardi Breezer Lime....success at last! The drink tasted extremely good after that knowing that we got it through underhand means.

Music at Zouk sucked that night....some trance or techno or what....didnt like it...didnt make me shake...so me and sham went out to catch a breather and also rest our ears for awhile. Haha you'll be amazed how many porsche drove past us that night.....i think there were around 5-6 man....some of them girls....I MUST GET MY HANDS ON THEM!...And there were 2 very very drunk girls we saw....they literally had to be dragged out of the taxi man....but drunk girls have lotsa privileges....u see strangers (mostly men) offering help and all...if those drunk were guys....people will only go "Don't know how to drink don't drink lah...what suckers...don't vomit on me man"...

Anyway we went back in to Phuture and danced our SIP woes away....mine was boredom haha....The music started to get better from 3am onwards...(it closes at 4am that night).....however we left at around 3.30 as meiwen and sham both have to work..(Poor things).....i shared cab with Nash and reached home at around 4am....but i had to catch Holland V and the 9pm show that i taped and so i did...i went to sleep only at 6am....what a long day...

Friday, August 08, 2003

Guess what woke me up....."COUNT ON MY SINGAPORE...COUNT ON ME SINGAPORE..COUNT ON ME TO GIVE MY BEST AND MORE...COUNT ON ME SINGAPORE"...I say "SHUTUP!"...then they continued..."WO DE JIA...SHOU CHANG..WO DE HUANG SI BEI SHANG..."..."STAND UP FOR SINGAPORE...DO THE BEST YOU CAN"....And lastly the new sun yanzi's song...forgot how it goes..

Anyway going to train for my Olympics later...snooker lah...hehe inspired by the TV where a 19 yrs old guy trashed this lao jiao...my goodness can you imagine he only 19..he turned professional 4 yrs old when he was only 15...i cant even enter a billard saloon at that age! So im determined im gonna train and then represent Singapore wahahahahahhaa..dun laugh ah....no more studying like what 1000000 odd others are doing...shall do something diff..give me your support! HAHA of coz i'll continue studying also lah...trying to think of a get-rich fast scheme too..thinking of a business to do that can make lotsa money and require very little capital...

OK lah enough for today..going Zouk tonight..anyone onz just sms me to tell me...byebye

Operation Save Bata

Ok let me make one thing clear to some or maybe most of you people...BATA is not a malaysian or local company! haha actually i was one of those that thought that way before...but after visiting..www.bata.com..i found out that BATA actually has a long long history and it originated from Czech but its based in Toronto Canada now. It has branches all over Europe and USA k! Don't play play!

Working here can be boring sometimes..stuck in a room where there is no one else but me and machines. I like it though can play games and surf the net without fear of getting spotted. Occasionally they walk in the room i must pretend to work lor haha...Anyway thinking of asking them to let me do their advertising for a short period..that is actually one of my interest in life...and i seriously think they need to improve their image and reputation...BATA shoes (BUY AND THROW AWAY)...wahahaha..what sort of reputation is that...bull shit man...be thankful they are still surviving...they need to convince ppl that BATA is not low class and is definitely not MALAYSIA!! Malaysia stinks hehehe.......OPPS

Enough of stories, i retire...

I've decided to stop publishing stories of others. Time to make this my blog my very own blog. As you can see i've uploaded quite a lot of pictures. Sorry that they are small and you can't really see the faces clearly. But i like it small coz my middle name is small and it's neater this way! Anyway i'm on MC today so i didn't go to work...having loads of free time now. Have really nothing to type about..stay tune might add on when i feel like it. CiaoZ!
