as told by the massage therapist

Life is a comedy for those who think,
Life is a tragedy for those who feel

interesting words arranged interestingly..
but humans are creatures of emotion mainly...
that's where passion and intensity tends to come in
so.. I guess we need to balance between our feelings and our thought processes and not allow either to overwhelm the other, instead let it just be in harmony

more theft!

The Difference Between Malaysians and Singaporeans
By Eddie G.

It's not as if you hadn't noticed, but Malaysians and Singaporeans do have quite a bit in common. However, if you do pay attention, you might notice some distinguishing traits that might spell the difference between a true blue Malaysian and a die-hard Singaporean. These are guidelines. No one has to follow them, but generally they do.


AT A BUFFET
Malaysian: Eats until he throws up

Singaporean: Eats until he throws up, and then eats some more


LAW & ORDER
Malaysian: Knows his laws, disobeys them and that's fine

Singaporean: Knows his laws, disobeys them and gets fined


ECONOMY
Malaysian: Trade Union owned by rich, pretentious bastards who don't know shit about the struggles of the working class

Singaporean: Trade Union owned by the government


MANNERS
Malaysian: Cuts a queue, feels guilty, trys to pretend nothing happened

Singaporean: Cuts a queue, feels guilty, trys to justify his motive ("Actually hor, you know ah, I've been here already for very long, one!")


CUSTOMS
Malaysian: Attempts to smuggle drugs and tobacco into Singapore

Singaporean: Attempts to smuggle chewing gum into Singapore


LEADERSHIP
Malaysian: Former Prime Minister retires and goes off to enjoy life while calling the shots from behind the scene

Singaporean: Former Prime Minister retires... oh wait, no he doesn't.


INFRASTRUCTURE
Malaysian: Builds Twin Towers to symbolize what Malaysia is all about

Singaporean: Builds Twin Metal-Spiked Balls for the same purpose


CORRUPTION
Singaporean: Culprit begs policeman for leniency

Malaysian: Policeman begs culprit for bribes


POLITICS
Malaysian: Believes in a one-phantom-one-vote policy

Singaporean: Lee Kuan Yew votes on behalf of the country


CENSORSHIP
Singaporean: Allows adult films to be screened so long as patrons are of age and film possesses a certain aesthetic value

Malaysian: Buy the VCD lah!

Today's Forecast
Romance is in the air -- and you've been thinking about making a permanent commitment. If your sweetie seems just as willing as you are to take this thing out for a test ride, don't be shy. Suggest monogamy.

reliving memories

Was watching A Walk to Remember.. the tail-end of it.. reminded me why it was such a nice movie.. =)
Sometimes, movies like that makes u wonder.. what do i have to do to get something like that?
... sigh

K Yuen came by just now and i loaned him some anime for him to take to Labuan.. haven't seen him in ages.. he didn't even know that I had already split up.. =|
yea.. anyway.. i'm at home.. hungry..
dunno what to do..

my sunday

Divergence.. poor movie.
poor poor poor
too many short lived people
too many sub plots
although the portrayal of flawed beings was especially powerful.. in some instances but the rest were rather overly-dramatic.

...
I didn't have dinner
so..
we snuck in a veritable feast of a&w food
2 rootbeers
1 mozza burger
1 coney dog
1 of 2 piece chicken
1 curly fries
come to think of it.. i didn't eat the fries.. =(

and then.. some big cat (tiger) at taipan.. brought the 2 girls out.. Wiri and Ivana..
then
we drank, had some satay, no more chicken wings today =(
then.. sat and talked .. can't even really remember much of what was said.. ohhhhh.. langkawi and backpacking.. lol.. minute I said, don't expect frequent baths, girls changed their minds.

sent everyone home, had a tickle fight with the 2 at the back.. YW was driving and Jamie was sitting in front too.. so i sat at the back..
WAR!!!!
hahaha
it's been a while..
fun.. heh
then had to walk them up cos they were afraid of being ina lift by themselves so late at night.. =)
so walked them back
came back down
came home
the end
.. now.. what do i do tomorrow?
DAMN HOLIDAYS!
hahaha

*note, I saw Geri from Trinity on the way to passion last night.. didn't call out... don't know why =)*

blah

I didn't have the chance to update yesterday cos I was so tired..
so.. here goes..

day at work..
wasted 1 n half hours waiting for dad at the office, then had dinner with the folks.. Peranakan House. =)
and then went to see my granma who hit her head.. she's doing just fine.. sat with her for about 1hour and quite a lot more.. then only came back
emm.. was supposed to meet Sook Yee for some drinks before heading out yesterday.. but her dinner engagement took 4 hours.. by which I had already picked Wen Nie up (lives really near me) and was in the process of picking up Jamie and Eunice for a night out.. Went to Rum Jungle and opened a bottle... from the 5, we expanded into a group that had 11 in total.. I'll probably never see them again.. and I didn't catch their names either.. =)
Was doing some light drinking.. and.. attempting to loosen up.. somewhat, and there were no chairs so we were all kind of standing around a table... sigh
one of the guys was motioning to me.. and then he said,"eh, she's waiting for u." "she" was this.. hot.. probably late 20's female who was dancing prohibitively close.. she invaded my personal bubble! omigod! anyway, I called him crazy and.. just ignored her while nursing my drink.. =)
the girls were going nuts taking photos.. lol.. I wonder if i can pinch some off them and put them over at my blogspot place.
They were also a little sleepy/tired so we left after nearly 2 hours.. and went for good supper.. Beef noodle!!! woo =D had a large one then came back and slept.. *ahhh*
There was something about Ah May and her friendly friend.. but I CBFed.. =)

This morning, my alarm rang and I woke up.. wondering whether or not to call those 2.. I was supposed to go shopping.. well not GO shopping but bring them there.
Ivana called, told me Sherly didn't want to go.. I called Sherly and told her to get dressed.. =)
picked them up and went to hartamas. 2 of Ivana's friend joined us. *edit*Vera and Dianny =) names are always hazardous..
one's shorter, the other's taller..
and then..
yeah went to hartamas, had lunch at TamNakThai.. don't bother going there.. I couldn't find any saving grace.. it was just poor.. and expensive
Curry, Tom yum, cold coconut milk do not work very well.. =) I had to visit the toilet..
heh
went to Cat's Whiskers after that and the girls did their shopping.. and i sat there.. looking at people and reading magazines. Patrick came after a while and accompanied me in my thankless task.

I'm gonna join Pat one of these days on his culinary adventures.. yumm....
anyway, he proposed coffee but Ferra had to go back.. so parted ways and I proceeded to drop all concerned home..
"My Place" apartments was one of the stop and there was a dog involved as well.. girls played with it.. then left.. and next stop was the KTM station.. and then.. made a brief detour at the Pasar Malam then dropped them home and came back.

There was this kancil packed with people.. and they were doing head-banging in the car.. pretty funny.
I'm watching Divergence tonight with Jamie and Yew Wen.. Alicia ffk, Eunice isn't feeling too well..
so it's just the 3 of us.. will have big cat after that maybe =)
a wee bit disappointed i think... *shrug*
that's it for now

To Jamie,
"Mandy was born on April 10th 1984 in Nashua, New Hampshire. However, her family soon moved to Orlando, Florida where she currently resides."

I win.
very long day
21 hours up and out
ugh..

Rum Jungle, booze, assorted females.. unknown hotties coming real close and staying there..
Ah May and friendly friend
Beef noodles!!

wasting an hour and a half waiting
so tired..
