It's taking too much effort to duplicate a blog...

Hi this is Ben. The official "blog updater" for Soo Jin's blog.

It has been sometime since I started "copying + pasting" Soo Jin's blog and created an almost identical duplicate here at soojc.blogspot.com - all in the effort to get Soo Jin to embrace the world of Blogger.com...

After a good number of updates, the task has begun to take it's toll on me. This dude writes too much! :)

This should, be my final post for this blog. If you have been reading and found his posts rather entertaining, for future updates, please refer to his official blog at http://www.livejournal.com/users/dcsjin/.

Cheers!

*edit*
Ben is a lazy arse.. (21/04/2006)
he hasn't posted in a year on his own.. tsk..tsk..

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!

I've learned- that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.
I've learned- that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.
I've learned- that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.
I've learned- that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I've learned- that it's not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts.
I've learned- that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes, after that, you'd better know something.
I've learned- that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do.
I've learned- that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
I've learned- that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
I've learned- that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
I've learned- that you can keep going long after you can't.
I've learned- that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
I've learned- that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I've learned- that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.
I've learned- that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
I've learned- that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I've learned- that my best friend and can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
I've learned- that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.
I've learned- that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
I've learned- that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
I've learned- that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
I've learned-that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
I've learned- that you should never tell a child their dreams are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if they believed it.
I've learned- that your family won't always be there for you. It may seem funny, but people you aren't related to can take care of you and love you and teach you to trust people again. Families aren't biological.
I've learned- that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I've learned- that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I've learned- that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
I've learned- that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
I've learned- that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
I've learned- that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.
I've learned- that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
I've learned- that no matter how you try to protect your children, they will eventually get hurt and you will hurt in the process.
I've learned- that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.
I've learned- that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being...

stolen! funny though

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!


PATRIOTISM
Malaysian: Sings Malaysian National Anthem in Bahasa Malaysia

Singaporean: Sings Singaporean National Anthem in Bahasa Malaysia

how interesting

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..

more comprehensive later

silly *grin*

of late, I've noticed myself developing perhaps.. minor attraction to various females.. I feel that I am suffering from perhaps a case of needytitis.. a condition where, I just want someone around.. it's abrupt.. from having someone who's around you nearly 24/7 to.. nothing.. a self-diagnosis from a guy who took ONE unit of psychology... lol

I'm not sure about what I feel at the moment but.. their (2 girls) image do run around my head from time to time aside from the resident honcho who's got her claws sunk deep in. I don't feel a physical pain or longing but just a sense of loss from time to time..

perhaps I'm doing some kind of transference of my feelings on 'honcho' to these 2 girls.. There are complications on both sides should I actually want to act on these yet not-fully formed feelings of mine.. hence my need to tread carefully.. and not divulge names.. as i've learnt that, more people read my journal these days.. this ain't a gossip channel.. =P

perhaps a wiser course would be to wait.. but what does it mean when you see their name flash across the face of your mobile, and all you can do is give a silly grin.. lol

silly isn't it? =)
bright april afternoon..
too bright.. hurts the eyes i tell you

teeheehee!!

I shall not be censored!! =D

Thursday, I was late for my class so I didn't end up going.. I had lunch with IM members.. and saw this cute indon girl.. don't think i've been introduced yet..
anyway..
went for CB class after that, then was hopping around like a mad person.. cos I was sitting a bit far away from the rest of the people..
After class, I had a drink with Wei Ing and we talked a bit.. tres cool.. =)
she's a cool person and fairly intelligent too.. fun to talk to

came back and then waited for YCheng to come get me for dinner.. I was sooo hungry by the time she came, we went to the nearby place at Alisan for dinner.. good food, comfortable company.. too much food.. hahaha

then came back .. oh my dad got back already.. and he didn't bring the keys, so he was waiting for me as I got back..
then I started on my assignment.

I was warned not to include stuff in here.. lol
wonder why =)
So.. i only had.. 3 hours of sleep.. and the rest of the time, I was doing my assignment. I was in the comp lab today till 4 finishing it up with my friends and some acquaintances.. it's interesting how people can talk to absolute strangers if the need is great enough, as though, making new friends wasn't such a big deal. After a while, I ended up sitting opposite Cindy and it was.. amusing to see how the guys flocked to her side while she was doing her assignment.. I counted.. 6-7 .. and I don't know why I counted.. =)
anyway.. it was crazy (the assignment).. I was sooo hungry as i didn't get lunch.. so i went for a sandwich in the cafeteria.. Sherly and Jeny were still there filling out some silly forms about music.

Aishath was still up at 6 am.. and she was helpful.. as was Yeok Cheng as she pointed out the things that I could put in.. or should put in..
I think I was bugging Ashley a little too much today.. as I attempted to finish everything.. hehe
Jacky was also one of the most sought after individual today...

anyway
went for IM class.. kept falling asleep.. so tired..
Jeny and Sherly were exchanging notes.. and when I wanted to see (curiousity), Jeny snatched it.. and after a fashion started tearing it up.. lol
I wonder what could elicit that sort of reaction..

after that, went with the group to look for Dr. Nelson and had a short chat with him
I picked my car up from the car wash and then went to pyramid... for eventually 1 + 1/2 hours.. sigh.. I was really hungry so I had a coney dog.. then a free root beer with a 50 cents top up of ice cream.. cheap!
hahaha =) filled up my stomach.. walked around a bit, and then went back to wait.. There was this caucasian guy who's getting a manicure.. near the end, Ah May was fanning his hands so that they could dry quicker.. she got a $2 tip for that.. lol
oh yeah.. Ah May was being her usual self.. really amusing.. she is rather cute in that sort of.. coquettish type thing..
I'm attempting to use big words so that people will think that it's praises and won't bang me for it
=P

*oo note*
girls with.. low cut tops should not lean/bend over without covering openings.. it gives guys heart attacks..
=D

and then..
we had dinner together with their family.. Eunice, Jamie, their mom (birthday lady), aunt, uncle and last but not least.. the 2 little kids.. oh.. not forgetting Alicia... (do u think i put your name deliberately at the end?? ) =P
who cares?!?!?

food was passable.. Oh ... there's this drifting thing that happens at Extreme Park .. all manner of vehicles were just.. drifting and drifting.. lots of noise and smoke.. =)
after food, went to Jamie's for mahjong.. man was I unlucky.. I lost pretty much all that I won the other day and then some.. =) and it was only after Alicia came back from her drinking session that I recouped some losses.. =) I told her to play in my stead and first 4 rounds.. she won 3, 2 of which were full.. man.. I was there for 2 hours and I didn't get a single full win.. bleagh
my lucky star.. =) this reminds me, whenever Cindy sat next to me, played for me.. she'd invariably lose me money.. "black star"
fated.. =D therefore.. alicia = lucky star, cindy = black star.. man.. i'm still bitching.. =)

so.. called it a night and came back..
it was .. funny watching Alicia play mahjong, she was a little clumsy with the tiles.. which in the end was kinda cute in a klutzy kind of way.. hahaha

There was a brief moment during dinner where I was going to go up to Ipoh on Sunday.. which was then called off.. lol =)
we'll see when that happens..
anyway... brief one today..
g'nite

"lonely, i am so lonely, i have nobody, to call my own..."
*wink* peace people

to YOU! yes you.. you know who you are.. !!! *glares*

"you know what you've done to me?
I live in anticipation of your msg.. =) I smile when I read that msg, people think i'm mad..
and when there's no message, i get mildly irritated..
GAH!!"
Today at work, there was a call from some anonymous, well not quite anonymous call from this person claiming to be a government appointed corporate governance compliance trouble-shooter. Right off the bat, she said that there was something wrong with our R.O.C. (Registrar of Companies), when pressed, she couldn't provide details, and yet we're supposed to comply with this apparently goverment appointed agent who knows next to nothing?
Insane.
and.. irresponsible. Every other year, someone will call regarding this kind of matters which sounds officious but when pressed, sounds suspiciously like a thinly-veiled attempt to squeeze more money out of us.
Hell no.. =)

scare tactics to induce us to pay for a course that is pretty much useless.. perhaps this should be highlighted to the newspapers.. We'll see if I'm feeling up to it or not. =)

that's it.. i'm screwed. I'm ruled by emotions

seems like that song generated some.. reactions.. lol
emm..
let's see
I had a massage therapy today..
whole body aching.. that kinda thing.. pressing places i never knew existed.. .. never knew that pain receptors existed there i mean..
1 and a half hour of pain..
lovely way to start the day i tell you..

*nearly forgot*
Cindy's mom called.. They just received the e-mail i sent them.. she asked if I was alright.. and etc.. etc.. etc.. maybe Cindy doesn't know what she wants yet.. and etc.. etc.. etc..
sigh
i'm still.. welcome to look for them when i go to hk.. so maybe i'll do that.. it was nice of her to call though.. =) that's why I sent the e-mail.. to thank them for their warmth and friendliness. *end memory*
then
talked to Eva.. she's a crazy girl/momma.. was attempting to make plans for the weekend.. mahjong!! woo =D
ermm..
oh yeah talked to Vincent too.. my man is now in CSL..*edit I think it's CSR.. * SUGAR.. hahaha
castor sugar.. i remember buying that brand.. anyway he makes the flu vaccine.. and packages it and stuff
haven't spoken/chat to him in ages.. sigh.. i miss him somewhat.. he's a really good friend.

then i went for class.. didn't know how to answer him..
I realise, Jaclyn has a pretty nice body.. =)
just noticing.. nothing pervy happening here.
ermm..
met Jamie for dinner, everyone else turned me down.. lol Ah May is.. the annoyingly flirty coy "and u absolutely know she's just playing" type..
she was going on again.. lol.. feel like strangling her sometimes.. but it's funny.. =) some entertainment
Basically I ate, and she accompanied.. I had Genki Sushi.. hahaha.. I'm not a big fan of sushi but I wanted to eat it for some reason..
to exorcise ghosts maybe..

it was rather expensive.. reminded me WHY i don't eat japanese food in the first place.. lol
Then I went to pick Ivana and Sherly up to go to pasar malam.. we were only there for like 30 minutes before the skies opened up..
dropped them off then went back to Pyramid and had a manicure.. lol
Jamie practiced on me..
it was really weird.. lots of people just kept looking!!!
ugh..
stupid Jamie..
and then.. in the end, Eunice and Jamie were doing one each hand.. lol
I have shiny nails.. -_-
dropped them home, then went in and said hi
Alicia was so anti-social.. didn't come down until later, and when she did, she ignored me!!
gah

played with Eunice's kids some.. hahaha.. was funny.. =) i think they like me.. lol
I left close to 11.. came back and got settled down and it's already 1.30.. omigod
time for bed..

my heart aches for other reasons..
do i need more heartache atm?
i think that's a resounding NO!
