WahWah, this is for you!! If you feel like shit and don't know what to do, have a go at Buddhism philosophy.

1. Life means suffering.

2. The origin of suffering is attachment.

3. The cessation of suffering is attainable.

I opened my mail today and found this contract written out to me :

We will allow you to move out of the above-mentioned apt and all keys to the apt to be returned to us by 12pm latest on the 23th OCT 2006.
First they gave their word that the date is 1st November.
Then they found a tenant, now this.
Word aint good no more..

However, the 23th deadline can only be extended to you provided the following conditions are agreed upon and will be make good by you:
So what this mutherfaarker is saying :
Do this and I will honour my words.. If not go to hell. Faaark man, words mean nothing now. And to think that you corporate mutherfaark has integrity.

1) To remove all hooks on the walls and to paint back the walls to the same existing colours.
I really remembered the tenant saying " oh the landlord is OK about hanging things. He is a cool chap.." Oh Well... People DO LIE..

2) To dry-clean all the curtains.
Maaaan... this issue is over rated. The landlord did not dry-clean mine. I do not understand why after talking for so long, they have agreed that this aint an issue and this.. again??!?!??? Are they running out of ideas?!?!

3) To allow my contractor to come into the apt during your stay to repair the floorings.
Seriously, he was talking about the master bedroom. Is he on drugs?!?! Does anyone in the right mind think that I would allow myself sleeping amongst saw dust and hollow floorings??

4) General cleaning of the apt before handing over to us on the 23th OCT.
I am legit, you aint. Dont expect me to behave like you. I will clean up. Not even an issue here. Its just what I have to do. What kind of condition is that?!?! Covering your big fat ugly ass??!?!

5) Power Supply to the apt will NOT be terminated by you but instead a transfer will be done by the new tenant on the 23th OCT itself.
Eat shit and die man you piece of crap. You really think I am gonna hand everything over to you on a silver platter?

In order not to have any unnecessary mis-understanding, please reply via e-mail if you are agreeable to all the above terms by the 16th SEPT (sat) 2006.
Now they want a reply in 2 days. Gosh we have been hammering them for a conclusion since 2 weeks ago.. the agony of it all... ARGH!!

Thank you for your co-operation.
What cooperation?!?! Its all just YOU YOU And farkking YOU! Go sue me you faaarking piece of shit. You really cannot expect more from an educated person. Just another literate pirate. Like I said, you faaaaaaaaaaarking piece of shit. go to hell man.

2006-09-08T14:44:00.000+08:00

Well, they say its a dog-eat-dog world. But its really sad when people are just cashing out on another's death. His family is real cool man. People should just give them a break. They knocked off the state funeral; stating that he was just a regular bloke doing what he thinks is fair dinkum. Asked whoever who want to donate to give it to the environment.

And here you have people selling tribute newspapers($152?!?!?) and $1 bills just to cash in on his death. wtf is that all about?!?!

yup, and who can ever forget the dutchman. Von Dutch's Personal Paint and Pin-Striping Box was sold for US $310,500 at Brucker Brothers Kustom Kulture Auction.

This personal paint box was inherited from his father and as for Von Dutch, who railed at the absurdity of money and material possessions, would probably be cursing and swearing in his grave. Nooo Noooo Not approve of this shit at all man.

Super happy?!??

2006-09-03T12:23:00.000+08:00

Got really bored installing the CD feo gave me and so I did this "how happy are you quiz"
The result? I AM FREAKING HAPPY!?!?!(Even after having my car towed away last night; laptop CD drive RIP today; share price drop so crazily..oh well I can never doubt the powers of a general quiz template!!!)
HEHE... I am so glad that after reading the 3 musketeers' dissapointment in relationship/friendship that something good is evantually coming out of it.

You Are 96% Happy

It's unlikely that you know anyone happier than you.You know how to be happy, no matter what life throws at you.

2006-08-31T18:21:00.000+08:00

I think everyone should know that Dutch is ~~an actual person~~ a legend and not just a clothing line. He probably would have flipped in his grave knowing that BKK and Shenzen was selling tees with his flying eyeballs for $2.99 in different colours.

The hunt is sweeter than the kill

2006-08-31T17:46:00.000+08:00

Life of David Gale.

I watched this movie some years back. Loved what he said about fantasies. I think I should be happy with my pay, because once I get it, I always want more.. more toys; more bicycles ; bigger house; motorbikes...blah blah blah..

... fantasies have to be unrealistic. Because the moment, the second you get what you seek, you don’t, you can’t want it anymore. In order to continue to exist, desire must have it’s objects perpetually absent. It’s not the it that you want; it’s the fantasy of it. So desire supports crazy fantasies. This is what Pascal means when he says that we are only truly happy when daydreaming about future happiness. Or why we say the hunt is sweeter than the kill, or be careful what you wish for. Not because you’ll get it, because you’re doomed not to want it once you do.
So the lesson of Leccan is, living by your wants will never make you happy. What it means to be fully human is to strive to live by ideas and ideals, and not to measure your life by what you’ve attained in terms of your desires, but those small moments of integrity, compassion, rationality, even self sacrifice. Because in the end, the only way that we can measure the significance of our own lives, is by valuing the lives of others.

Parking Idiots Blog

2006-08-21T18:53:00.000+08:00

::Parking Idiot Blog::

To all my friends who drive :

Once upon a time, people hang out at void decks to play their guitar, chill with friends, and cop a smoke. Nowadays, armed with their cutting edge mobile phones, they snap cars of drivers who park badly. And name them, "Parking Idiots"

Friends, please park with caution !!Parking badly has moved up the rung on the inconsiderate level! Forget about taxi drivers swerving from the extreme right to pick up random passengers;drivers that don't indicate, drivers that indicate for nothing.Put away the woes from idiots who suddenly cut into your lane and hit their brakes.And bad parkers deserves to be lynched compared to those with their all mighty "Stop-Anywhere-Anytime-HAZARD LIGHT." syndrome.

Sidenote for those who have not met patients with this syndrome: They are the HE-Mans of the Road. Armed with their Hazard Light, they stop anywhere; middle of curve, one LANE street, busy road in town, or even at a turn. If you have not met them, good for you and praise the LORD.

(Ok friends, I am not saying that al'ofya are selfish or even park like sh*t. But I think that you might have experienced a bad park once in a while, especially in a deserted lot.

Sidenote to myself:

Hmmm, I wonder if there will be a site dedicated to people who open their doors really wide and f**king leave a dent on other people's car. I think that is more inconsiderate than parking on the line when the carpark is extremely empty.. Oh well, but thats just me.

Park well my friends, may the park be with you.

Singapore Poly Maritime Admins

2006-08-20T16:32:00.000+08:00

I am not someone who usually shout at service people but those 2 admins at SP SMA really puts shame to the word bully.

It was a string of events but what made me blow was the way she asked me for payment. I believe that there are several ways to ask for payment but my reply from "Give me your card " does not constitue a "payment card la.. what card do you think it is?" I mean I have so many cards, from drivers license to credit cards, discount cards, employee card and key card. Which freaking card you 'behind- the counter-in-your-own-world-short-of-being-a-bitch' want?

I admit that I do look like a student and I was thinking if they treat the students the way they treated me, I pity the whole lot of them. It was definately a class act when they deal with students.

Only after realising that I am NOT a student of theirs do I see a smile, proper structured questions and get a welcome that comes behind a thank you.( Instead of constant hissing and mumbles)

Like I said, I never shouted at a stranger before. We were always told to respect our elders. If these are the people that we should naturally respect, I think its time to rethink my beliefs passed down to me. These two ladies do not deserve an inch of it. Kudos.

Oh my view from my study.Moving out soon ,(again).

I really do not know how accurate this is or where the source is from. But I do find the pictures somewhat disturbing...and well-taken. Its like the people are actually posing for the shot. Which is strange as this would break their rice bowl?

Oh well but here goes anyways.

Early dawn, starts the day by riding around to collect dead chicken

Asking around for dead chicken

Total of 5 riders are hired by the boss to farms to buy dead chicken

A dead chicken cost 1 RMB and would be sold at 9 RMB after processing

Storage for the dead chicken in the court yard

carcasses are thrown everywhere

And on the floor....

4 employees start de-feathering the dead fowl after soaking in boiling water from a rusty wok

Enduring the pungent odour, but sometime, it get so terrible that even the most experience d of the workers would puke

Workers rushing to get the chicken de-feathered

A discarded bath tub being used to soak the bare skin dead chicken ... the contaminated water would have accelerated the decomposition process

Wearing slippers walking among the chicken before colouring processing

After the colour dye, its creepy to find that they are quite tenderising

And now presenting the mouth watering Charcoal Roasted Chicken!

Got it from here. Go try it.

If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, you will only see one color, pink. If you stare at the black + in the center, the moving dot turns to green. Now, concentrate on the black + in the center of the picture. After a short period of time, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see a green dot rotating if you're lucky! It's amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot, and the pink ones really don't disappear. This should be proof enough, we don't always see what we think we see.

Praying Hands

2006-01-04T15:04:00.000+08:00

::Albrecht Dürer ::

The Praying Hands

Back in the fifteenth century, in a tiny village near Nuernberg, lived a family
with eighteen children. Eighteen! In order merely to keep food on the table for
this mob, the father and head of the household, a goldsmith by profession,
worked almost eighteen hours a day at his trade and any other paying chore he
could find in the neighborhood.
Despite their seemingly hopeless condition,
two of Albrecht Dürer the Elder's children had a dream. They both wanted to
pursue their talent for art, but they knew full well that their father would
never be financially able to send either of them to Nuernberg to study at the
Academy. After many long discussions at night in their crowded bed, the two boys
finally worked out a pact. They would toss a coin. The loser would go down into
the nearby mines and, with his earnings, support his brother while he attended
the academy. Then, when that brother who won the toss completed his studies, in
four years, he would support the other brother at the academy, either with sales
of his artwork or, if necessary, also by laboring in the mines.
They tossed
a coin on a Sunday morning after church. Albrecht Dürer won the toss and went
off to Nuernberg. Albert went down into the dangerous mines and, for the next
four years, financed his brother, whose work at the academy was almost an
immediate sensation. Albrecht's etchings, his woodcuts, and his oils were far
better than those of most of his professors, and by the time he graduated, he
was beginning to earn considerable fees for his commissioned works.
When the
young artist returned to his village, the Dürer family held a festive dinner on
their lawn to celebrate Albrecht's triumphant homecoming. After a long and
memorable meal, punctuated with music and laughter, Albrecht rose from his
honored position at the head of the table to drink a toast to his beloved
brother for the years of sacrifice that had enabled Albrecht to fulfill his
ambition. His closing words were, "And now, Albert, blessed brother of mine, now
it is your turn. Now you can go to Nuernberg to pursue your dream, and I will
take care of you."
All heads turned in eager expectation to the far end of
the table where Albert sat, tears streaming down his pale face, shaking his
lowered head from side to side while he sobbed and repeated, over and over, "No
...no ...no ...no."
Finally, Albert rose and wiped the tears from his
cheeks. He glanced down the long table at the faces he loved, and then, holding
his hands close to his right cheek, he said softly, "No, brother. I cannot go to
Nuernberg. It is too late for me. Look ... look what four years in the mines
have done to my hands! The bones in every finger have been smashed at least
once, and lately I have been suffering from arthritis so badly in my right hand
that I cannot even hold a glass to return your toast, much less make delicate
lines on parchment or canvas with a pen or a brush. No, brother ... for me it is
too late."
More than 450 years have passed. By now, Albrecht Dürer's
hundreds of masterful portraits, pen and silver-point sketches, watercolors,
charcoals, woodcuts, and copper engravings hang in every great museum in the
world, but the odds are great that you, like most people, are familiar with only
one of Albrecht Dürer's works. More than merely being familiar with it, you very
well may have a reproduction hanging in your home or office.
One day, to pay
homage to Albert for all that he had sacrificed, Albrecht Dürer painstakingly
drew his brother's abused hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched
skyward. He called his powerful drawing simply "Hands," but the entire world
almost immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and renamed his
tribute of love "The Praying Hands."
The next time you see a copy of The
Praying Hands, take a second look. Let it be your reminder, if you still need
one, that no one - no one - - ever makes it alone!
