13 going 30 and the media

Saw 13 going 30 on dvd with Sam yesterday. Its a nice show..about this 13 years old wanting to be cool, flirty and successful..so happen she got her wish and was thrown 17 years into time. She woke up looking pretty and realised she got all she ever wanted. A career, a handsome boyfriend etc etc. And the story goes on and i'm lazy to elaborate..so do watch it haha. I was thinking...would anyone of you sacrifice 17 years of your life just to be rich and successful?

Jennifer Gartner is totally hot..check her out.



Also caught average joe hawaii on channel i yesterday. I was thinking there's no way the woman will actually choose any of the disgusting looking guys..some fat, sweaty dirty and totally weird. But then again i believe the whole media industry is never what it seems...whatever we see is 99% not true. Taking for example beautiful people where my twin classmate Meiwen starred..they purposely made their good friends can't differentiate between them...even i can close one eye and tell them apart lor haha. Survivor, Bachelor, Love island etc etc...none of these are actually true reality shows...they are scripted, staged and acted. That's what i believe at least...they are not much differences from WWE wrestling haha.

Now to the topic of dramas..wassup with channel 8 nowadays? Are they promoting incest or something? First there was the Laksa show...jeanette aw liking her elder brother tay ping hui...and now..the 9pm show..fiona xie liking her brother. Although in both cases they ain real siblings..its still wrong..so wrong..just feel weird thinking about it...complain!

How God can actually prevent rapes in the first place

Thought of this...lame it is...but think about it...it works.

God could have just made females the hornier sex in the first place. That way...no rapes can ever take place..because no matter how hard she tries..if a guy don't want to do it...his thing won't stand and there's no way intercourse can take place with force.

Moreover males are generally the stronger sex so in that way...there'll be no more rapes in the world!

Yahoo Messenger anybody?

For no reason, i couldn't log into MSN messenger the whole day today in office. Not only me, my 2 other friends too. We suspect is either they blocking us or the server is down...hmmm...

Icq had been inaccessible all along ever since i joined the company..can't connect at all. So i turned to Yahoo messenger...was logged on the whole day but nobody online on my list the whole day too! But at least yahoo messenger let me know when i have a new mail..something i don't get using msn. I just downloaded the latest yahoo messenger and i must say it looks quite good...anyone with an account please add me at "nicholaslimsg" so that i'll have somebody to chat with in the office!

Polo

Whats the first thing that comes to mind when someone mention the word "Polo" to you? Is it the Polo sweet? Is it Polo Ralph? Is it the polo sports played on horse, water polo or could it be the polio disease? Just curious lol..

Brotherhood

Caught this korean film today with cheap bird...its a good movie...very much recommended. Its about the how these 2 brothers fought alongside in the Korean War. Elder brother sacrificed a lot just so that his brother could go home and look after their mum. Its a very touching and sad story...4 out of 5 stars!

Road madness amazing world

Experienced a little bit of road madness yesterday myself...and yeah it was me myself. While riding i'll start singing and making all sort of noises like "woohoo!" Haha no i'm not mad..i'm just bored. And when some car drives too near to one side preventing me from squeezing through i'll shout "fuck off please" beneath my helmet wahaha. Learn a bit of road manners....nick's way!

Just saw built for the kill on national geographic channel...do you know that a chimpanzee actually preys on monkeys? Something new yeah...and a male praying mantis actually gets his head eaten off by his mate while mating and can still go on with his poking for several hours...this world is so amazing wahaha.

Hi

Lol i just realised that some people actually do leave comments in my comment box below my posts occasionally. But they're hardly noticeable to me..so if you guys read this do drop me your valuable comments in my chatterbox? Thanks!

Oh and thanks for your comments too..really appreciate it...do drop me more messages ; )

Mambo

i went for mambo night at zouk yesterday after a long period of absence. Its usually friday nights when clubbing with my poly friends. My clubbing partners were my sajc classmates. We met up before 9 thinking entrance will be cheaper then but it wasn't to be. We had so much time we went to play billards first. After one game it was time for mambo.
Guess who i saw first..a marist..adrian yap...chao hi lang (deaf boy) is his nickname..guess what he told me...he's now in commando camp..how is that possible when he is deaf in one ear? Hmmm...
After that i saw Zheng Yukai and Kenny Mok..haha ultimate nerd and ultimate loser...just kidding haha. And to top it all up..i saw Cen Zhuoxiang too...looks like marists love mambo. But yesterday wasn't entirely retro...there was a bit of top 100 chart type of songs.
Towards the end we danced at Phuture...hip hop R&B..the more familiar type of clubbing music recently..
I left early and not join them for supper after clubbing because i have work the following day..here i am in the office..but i'm surprisingly not too tired...meeting my poly friends later for another gathering ;)

Bloody old actor!

Met Sam after work today and we went to Parkway Parade for dinner. After dinner Sam wanted to watch Mean girls so we headed for Suntec. While turning into ECP, this stupid silver MPV drove out from a give way filter lane and cut my lane! While travelling at the back of him, Sam told me to point my middle finger which i did wahahaha...not sure if he saw it though.
 
I decided to overtake him and guess what...it was Zhu Houreng..the Mediacorp old actor. Haha bloody old man...cut my lane...i'm gonna condemn your shows.
 
Mean girls is not a bad show...a show of backstabbing bitchy slutty scheming girls making use of each other and out-doing each other. Its pretty hilarious and well worth to watch. Somehow the characters in the shows remind me of the mambo girls in CJC...hmmm

Imagine this.........

I'm sure most of you saw the Heineken ad before..the one with Jennifer Aniston starring in it. Well...something similar happened to me yesterday...ok the woman that asked for my help wasn't exactly pretty...and of course she's no star. And another thing...the beer package she wanted was high on the shelf on the NTUC shelf and i'm no tall guy myself haha. But i used the first level of the shelf as a leverage and got her the beer. :)

OT with King Arthur

I worked till 8pm today...you cannot imagine the tiredness and reluctance i felt after it's past knock off time. Although its $10.50 an hour for OT...but still...
 
Anyway for the first time, my boss delegated work to me personally. She had me copy customers' profiles from Microsoft words to Microsoft Excel...Its one of the most tiring things i ever did during my time there. Although there were only 40 customers, i took nearly 2 hours to complete it. And my pinky is numb and pain from holding on to the "Ctrl" button everytime i need to copy and paste.
 
After work i went to meet Sam and the first thing is told me: "Why act hardworking for what?" As if i deliberately wanted to work OT...i dread it too. Anyway we caught the movie King Arthur. Its not a bad show..pretty much like Troy, LOTR and many other battle movies..its the "in" type of movie now anyway.   
 
I felt that the director and scriptwriter failed to justify why King Arthur and his knights had to stay back and fight when they can just retreat. They tried hard to portray him as a hero but where were the so called villagers they were trying to protect? Why didn't everyone just retreat together with the Roman army? Haha i find it pretty hard to comprehend...but then again its just a show..i shouldn't think so much. Oh the show also taught me that conscription used to be 15 years during those times...i'm so glad its only 2 years for me...if it was still 15 years..i wouldn't want to imagine what will happen to me after that. 
 
I love Fridays...the feeling is so good...

Michael Jackson

I realised something yesterday. Michael Jackson don't sing live during his concert 90% of the time. I was actually watching the dvd of his concert live in Gothenburg Sweden last night and its actually pretty obvious his lips movement don't match the singing. No wonder the songs sounded so much alike like in his CDs...there is usually at least a little bit difference when singers sing live..but not for him. Now it all make sense..how can he maintain singing so smoothly while dancing around and making so much movements haha.

But he's an immense talent nevertheless..if he were to come here for a concert i'll definitely go. Who else can sing, dance and write songs like him now? Only a loser Justin Timberlake is trying hard to impersonate him..

My past few days

The past few days has been blowing hot and cold for me. First the misery...i had diarrhea on Monday and early Tuesday morning it got worse...i woke up in the middle of the night to visit the toilet at least 4 times. When it was 8am..the time i usually wake up for work..i finally decided that i wasn't fit to go work that day. But i could hardly sleep given my misery. I really do not know what i ate wrong, can't be JB's food coz non of the rest suffered, can't be the noodles Sam cooked coz her brother ate too and nothing happened to him too. The only possibility is the food my mum brought back from my grandma's place...but then again highly unlikely too...coz i'm sure my uncles/aunties and her all ate the same food..something is wrong with me :(.

Anyway i visited the doctor and got my MC. Now for the joy. After betting for so long...i'm finally out of the reds...i won a tidy sum betting on Malaysia..yeah call me a traitor whatever..its only betting our national team..i never quite supported them anyway since the Malaysian Cup days anyway.

Anyone realised there's a sudden influx of new CD compilations advertising on tv? Has the problems of piracy and downloading of free mp3s finally been curbed? Hmmm at least i'm still downloading..wahahaha. I like the WOW praise and worship CD and the new compilation of love songs...they are tempting to buy.

A day of adventure, exhaustion, darkness and brush with singapore customs

Went JB again today with Sam, Puss, Bernerd and his friend. We headed for Holiday plaza as usual first and walked around. Sam bought a pair of slippers and a pair of earrings..and we all bought DVD movies to watch. I bought Michael Jackson and Kenny G's concert haha.

After walking we went back to food street for our dinner. Our orders were nearly the same as the last time...claypot rice, stingray, sotong and char kway tiao.

After dinner, we walked around City Square before deciding to go home. This turned out to be one of the most embarassing, scary and fucked up return back to Singapore. The custom police opened Bernerd's car boot and found 2 boxes of chewing gums. They then searched our bags and found pussy's DVDs, Bernerd's friends cigarettes and the rest of our chewing gums. Sam hid our DVDs so they weren't discovered haha.

They found one of pussy's DVDs suspiciously R-rated so they had him break the disc and throw it away. They gave chance and returned the rest of them to him. But they took the chewing gums and referred us to the customs, Pussy went in for a long time (read his blog for his experience) and we waited there by the car as if we were criminals for like half an hour.

It was a terrifying experience..i have now encountered the normal polices and custom polices in my life now...whats next? Not the traffic police please....

This isn't the end. I had Bernerd sent us back to the Turf club where i parked my bike. The gate was closed so we alighted at the gate and walked in. The whole place was quiet..not a soul..not even a horse. We had a shock when we saw the carpark. It was pitch black...there wasn't even an "EXIT" light lit inside. I'm so glad for the small torch on my Nokia 5100..it proved its usefulness yet again..although not by much. I'm so glad i had Sam there with me...haha ok i admit...i would have been quite freaked out going in the carpark alone..ghosts one thing...dogs another haha. We walked cautiously in close to each other and guess what...we walked past my bike without even realising it. We had walked quite a distance in front before turning back and seeing a silhouette of my bike. You can imagine my relief when i see my bike...for awhile i was so afraid i'll be the next victim of another bike theft. I also let out another sign of relief when i turn on the bike and the headlights came on...what an experience...fun it is..scary it is..cool it is...

Turning point in life

Today...or rather this week..shall be one of the turning points in my life...i boldly told my mum that she don't need to give me pocket money anymore. I'm going to pay for my own expenses by saving up and working. I hope i pull through...

I'm so glad its a friday...how good friday feels when you're working..

Tell me why

While browsing the singapore bike forum a few days ago..i saw this guy selling his newly bought Honda CBR1000RR..he claimed that he has only travelled 200km with it and is sick of riding haha. 200km? That's hardly a full tank of petrol used...he must be insane.

Just today i saw another ad which is more ridiculous. He's selling his newly bought Yamaha 04R1...guess his mileage.....12km!! WTF...i can even jog that distance if i'm fit enough...what kind of a person will buy a bike and sell it after travelling only 12km? Might as well don't buy lah..waste money..

The easy side of work

Went to work with one side of my eyes sore today...don't ask me why..i dunno why too. 1st thing that happened in the office today was a fire drill...i was late as usual so i didn't take part in the drill wahaha.

My colleague won TOTO yesterday...he got 4 numbers...don't laugh...it's only $30 god damn dollars..how pathetic is that. Haha anyway fishy and i persuaded him to share his luck by treating us lunch. We ordered one whole chicken plus dofu and 2 bowls of rice each from a chicken rice stall at Ubi..haha we were too paiseh to make him pay all $20 with his pathetic winnings so we paid $5 each haha.

Worked till 8pm today..latest i've ever worked. Anyway anyone of you heard of a program call Macro Express? The person who designed this software is a god damn genius. He made working for people like me so much easier haha. The program is designed to note common keystrokes, mouse moves and practically everything else to do your job for you. All you have to do is program the macro properly and tada you can be one big slacker in the office. It made my job of partial data entry so damn easy....i can allow the macro to do my job for me and go to chat with my colleagues or waste time in the toilet haha. I wish i can openly read magazines, newspaper or storybooks but i can't.

Of course work is not as easy as described in the paragraph above..there are still work waiting for me to complete...but overall this is a realy good job for me to kill time before enlisting and earn enough money for my next bike haha.

I watched spiderman 2, played mahjong with my colleagues and lost during the weekend....i'm a bit too lazy to elaborate....wahaha...spiderman 2? 3.5/5 stars bah

Friday!

Would you believe it...i was 1 hour late for work today...i supposed my alarm went off and i off it without knowing it. But i'm glad the people are flexible here..they come in 1 hour late themselves so it's ok.

Stayed up to watch Greece the underdogs vs Czech the dark horse, and oh my what a game..managed to win a bit of money and in the end..the underdogs emerged victorious. Thus the finals of Euro 2004 will be a repeat of the opening match. I predict a portuguese victory but they might not do it within normal time...just my predictions though...always take the opposite..haha

It's finally friday...i want to watch spiderman 2. Haven had time for it and Sam has been busy. But i'll definitely catch it. Spiderman is definitely the best looking superhero of all time...with the mask on of course.

Got a call from cmpb the other day asking me if i would like to enlist early on the 22th of July..i had to reject them because i already have a job. Why reject me when i requested for it and tell me only now that it's possible after all...crap
