Wednesday, December 29

and so the moment is here.

alarm clocks ringing as i type,
people signing in as they would,
it is here!
the 364th day of the year!
its new year's eve's eve
and lots of my peers' day of reprieve!
for many people they waltz into a club (for the first time/legally)
or have a jolly great time in a pub,
alcohol, cigarettes, bought as they might
ive tried alcohol, but only Heineken i like

never mind all that! (and because i'm lazy to make lousy rhymes)

ive never celebrated this day
and it'll stay this way
i'll be happy to sleep the entire day
oh hooray!

i'd love a nice minimalistic watch i saw though.

(IF you didn't understand this entry just take it that i'm trying to say that the fastest animal on Earth is a cow dropped out of a helicopter.)

right, if you've been around me, you'd probably have been very angry at me because there would have been some occasion where you'd ask me something and have gotten a stupid "huh?" from me in return. but i really couldnt hear properly what. sorry!

people have said im deaf, have 10 years worth of ear wax in my ears or ask the most irrelevant questions, but i think its hereditary! i was looking for some starch around the house and i asked my mum.


(in chinese)
me: mummy, do you have starch?
mum: HAIYO YOUR DAD AH RECENTLY VERY BUSY GOT WHAT AMWAY DISTRIBUTING NONSENSE CIVIL DEFENCE NOT ENOUGH GO DO THIS
me: mummy, got starch mah?
mum: i havent cook dinner later Ah Pa come home make noise what you want to eat for dinner
me: anything lar....but do we have starch?
mum: what starch? dunno what you talking
me: starch lor! you know starch to make collars hard
mum: i think your dad can buy from Amway
me: no...do we have starch at home right now?
mum: what do you need starch for
me: i want to make my denim jacket hard...you see everywhere so soft
mum: you ah, buy buy buy, buy until so many clothes for what? one piece can wear 10 years you buy until so many...heeyoh
me: i want to make this jacket hard...you see the collar pockets all flappy...
mum: i think the starch dry up already...never use
me: where?
mum: you go look in the laundry basket...i think there are 2 bottles in there...i think both finish already...you go try


see? its hereditary this cant-hear-and-ask-irrelevant-questions condition.

but there was this once where I'm very sure it wasnt my fault. I was going up an escalator with Wee Ping at Lido when he suddenly said "hor". So I was wondering why he was hor-ing for no reason when he pointed at this poster. And the poster was for a movie called 'Whore'. 'Whore' is not pronounced "hor" okay! Its pronounced "wore"! Right, before I make you dizzy with all the '""''""'s listen to Robbie Williams here in 'Come Undone'. he uses the word 'whore' near the end of the clip.



you heard "wore" right? ha! see! sometimes its not me okay...sometimes you all dont speak loud or clearly enough. lalalalalalala i cant hear you!

this blog would have existed for 2 years already.
more than 700 days
more than 17,000 hours
more than 1,000,000 minutes
more than 63,000,000 seconds

i set up this blog on dec 6, 2002
one lonely night after my O levels
having just flew back from bangkok
in the midst of confusion
and numerous thoughts running through my mind
readers have come
readers have gone
i have come
i have gone
some have been with me from the start
some have just stumbled onto this silly page.
