Ang Mo Potato

This is a whining post ahead. So if you don’t want to hear me whine please click the ”x” button.

You see, i don’t really enjoy talking to those who act high class people. And from my personal experience, these people are mostly or maybe all are angmo potato.

Recent weeks met a few such people. They are near my age ah, 25-28 range (yes im 24, not 32). All are working adults. Of course im not going to name names.

Person A : Some import export industry. Studied overseas, then come back Singapore work. Cannot speak a God damn word of chinese. Tmd, you chinese cannot speak chinese?! Screw yourself!!! And stop speaking in that bloody slang, doesnt make you anymore less chinese than you already are hahahaha. And please stop telling me you how good to how good can? Who doesnt freaking know all about what you said regarding the economy blah blah recession blah blah interest rate cuts. And honestly, you aint successful, you just thought you are, cause you haven’t seen the real thing. Fuck you.

Person B : This guy i think also study overseas or some private school. No debts etc, cause school fees all paid by laopei. Car everything also have. Ok for you I got to say this. Stop telling me how to do business, cause 1) you farking have no business of your own 2) What you are saying is use money to grow money. Knn! who don’t know? Like what Cch father say before, ”you want sure earn, just rent a huge space and sublet to a lot of other brands, like SEIYU etc”. So you, Mr ”my laopei rich, you want anzua”, shut the fark up also. Cause you had it easy. I’ll be more interested to see how you react and grow as a person, if you had been brought up differently. Answer me 1 question, people like us how to find capital? Your laopei? Fark u and your laopei together.

Sorry i just hate these pretentious people. I know i sounded harsh, so i wont type to scold them any more. I only got this to show them _|_

The Dorm Which Can’t Be Moved

Ok wanted to blog about this issue for the longest time. But currently studies and work is already killing me.

Everyone knows that the governement is planning to built a dorm for foreign workers in Serangoon right. So as usual, Singaporeans who ”i am too rich and clean to stay with foreign workers” complained. And complain they did. Since this plan was announce months ago, every week straits time still got people write into the forum to complain wahahaha. The never say die attitude that our British rulers passed down to us?? haaahhaa.

Reasons they state are because :-

They say bangla will walk around half naked.

Eh joker who say this, u got see bangla walk half naked around housing estate meh? At least i didnt, they half naked is only when they working. You try work under the hot sun for 10 hrs, u see u want go half naked or u want drown in your sweat.

They say the neighbourhood will become unsafe.

You think these foreign workers staying in this dorm will commit crimes? I doubt, cause they all stay in 1 specific area, meaning if someone complain that a foreign worker committed a crime, the police will straight go to the dorm to ask the victm to recognise the person. Eh you all think foreign workers no brain??? They also human. So even they want to rob, rape, raid, they also go further and not in Serangoon.

People are worried that leaving they Children, wife, aged parents at home will be dangerous.

I know foreign workers are very hardworking bunch and they can carry rather heavy loads. But didnt know now they can break doors and locks. Superman??

Traffic Congestion.

Eh please lah, you guys desperate for reasons to stop the dorm from building??? Which road in Singapore not congested?

Last but of course not the least, their property prices will fall.

This is a very selfish reason. Then tell me, if don’t build in Serangoon then build in Yishun how? Yishun property price drop can, but your serangoon property price drop cannot? Fair? We are a democratic country. Everything is voted for, from the Government to the laws of the country. The Government chose the site for this dorm, and YOU yes YOU chose the Governement. So farking YOU indirectly build the dorm at your doorstep.

Next, is the ”oh so smart i am a rich snob” people who live in Serangoon giving some unbelievable suggestion.

Practically their suggestions is very simple : Reclaim a land and let them stay off shore, let them stay in bomb shelter, let them stay underground. WAHAHAHAA. Jokers leh! You are telling me they not human? Come on, you complain about racism happening in Australia, or when you go to US become second class citizen etc. But we don’t stand by what we preach? Thats disgraceful isnt it?

Not forgetting, these foreign workers are already living in very dirty places. I think since we ask them to come over and help our economy we should at least treat them right. And my guess is the Governement is trying the control the foreign workers. Meaning trying to consolidate them to a certain area so it is easier to know what they are doing.

Actually i still got a lot of thoughts, but will be rather draggy.

But being in a composing mood, now i present to all my beloved Serangoon snobs with ”The dorm who can’t be moved – The Randy”

Tune from ”The man who can’t be moved – The Scripts (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQCJFnC2BiQ)

” Going back to the corner where I first anger you,
Gonna camp in my dorm site I’m not gonna move,
Got some sweat on my cardboard but i only got a fan,
Saying if you see snobs please don’t tell them where i am,
Some try to force me to other sites they don’t understand,
I’m not…dirty I’m just a broken hearted dorm,
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do,
How can I move on, the best i can do is to put up a shield…

Maybe one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where in Singapore I can be,
Thinking maybe you’ll come back here to the famous dorm site,
And you’d see them waiting for you on the corner with their sarong tight.

So I’m not moving~~~
I’m not moving~~~~

Snobs says dorm you can’t stay here,
I said there’s many foreign workers I’m waiting for if it’s a day, a month, a year,
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows,
If snobs changes their mind this is the first place they will go.

People talk about the dorm
Who’s waiting on a site…
Oohoohwoo
There are no snobs in its site
But a big hole in their pocket…
Hmmmm~~

and maybe I’ll get famous as the site who can’t be moved,
And maybe you won’t mean to but you’ll see me on the news,
And you’ll come running to the corner…
even though everyday you will tiu

I’m the dorm who can’t be moved
I’m the dorm who can’t be moved.

Only God Can Judge Me

”Oh God, tell me what i’m living for?

Everyones Dropping..

And this got me knocking

On heavens door

And all my memories, are seeing my brothers bleed

Now tell me how do we get out of this shit

I’ll recollect my thoughts,

take a couple of shots,

And wait for you to judge me…

Only God can Judge me”

We Will Get There!

Ok i am posting some quotes from Winston Churchill. Enjoy. Hope it helps.

”We are in the preliminary stage of one of the greatest battles in history. That we are in action at many points — in Norway and in Holland —, that we have to be prepared in the Mediterranean. That the air battle is continuous, and that many preparations have to be made here at home. I would say to the House as I said to those who have joined this government: I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory. Victory at all costs — Victory in spite of all terror — Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.”

”I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, and they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the Old.”

”What General Weygand has called the Battle of France is over. I expect that the Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be freed and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves, that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, “This was their finest hour.”

Fear is only as deep as the mind allows

”One will never reach distant shores,
if he chooses to remain upon the dock,
In fear his little ship of dreams
may be dashed against the rocks.”

Fear.

How many times have you felt fear?

When deadline for a report/ project is nearing? When you feel you love ones leaving you? When you are not in control of a situation?

Scary thought isnt it?

People always say, face fear head on, don’t be worried blah blah blah. God damn the person, cause he says that as he doesnt fear the situation you are in, but when he is in something which he fears then he speak all so differently.

We all have fears, sometimes to counter fear is to accept the situation. The current stock market is why i started this topic. Fear was the start of everything.

Structured products is unknown of in the early days. Investment was simple, either your buy bonds or stocks. Then some smart people created need products. The most famous infamous being the CDOs. Don’t believe me? Try googling death bonds, ahhh what the hell is death bonds?? See! Many many funny financial products came into the market. Because these finance people wanted to make more money, they were greedy and FEARful.

From my msn, i can see many people’s nick which are saying ”Recession”, ”Stock market bomb”. Eh funny, I thought they were studying engineering leh, or never invested in stock market, why suddenly everyone talking about stock market. Why? Fear of not knowing the on-going of things in the world.

The economy was bad starting last year. About 1 year ago on 11 October 2007, Dow Jones reach its life high of 14198. 1 year later, today it reached its year low of 8579. Why didnt anyone heed the warnings? Because of fear in not being able to make money from the stock market when everyone is doing so – herd mentality.

In all honesty, i thought personally the market would not be like this. I felt with Government intervention, all would be fine. But sentiments have gone so bad that, whatever actions is done is not helping people, A bear market is definitely here, and it will last for at least 2 years after the US presidential elections. Of course i hope i am wrong, but with the Japan yen going from strength to strength and AUD weakening (carry trade, can call me if need explanantion), which in turn affects the world 2nd biggest exporter (Japan) and world biggest importer (US). I doubt life will be good anytime soon. In fact i honestly suspect 1 of the Asian economies might just go bust. My bet is on Thailand (again?). Worst case scenarion would be Japan, but i hope, cause maybe more pretty Japanese girls go become pornstar wahahahaha. Im joking.

The funny thing about this type of crisis is, to save the economy, spending is required. But because everyone is fearful, no one wants to spend. But when no one spends, the economy gets worst. Ahhh now you see the downward spiral. But as with human mentality, ”you don’t jump i don’t jump lah. You want you jump first”. So i guess the Governement will take the mettle and distribute money for people to spend, and also increase on Government spending.

A lot of knowledge we can find in textbooks and books. But when applied in real life, everything becomes a mess. Maybe because humans are not robots, everyone reacts differently in different situation. I hope all will be fine. Those who already have a job, stay in your job, or find another 1 before you quit as from now it would be a difficult time. Those who don’t have a job, lower your expectations, and get a job first. Those who have a job, but not happy in current job, but still need the job – i will mail you the words, DEPRESSION.

Ok the above post is rather vague, eh but give some credit, work whole day write 1 leh. Wah piang broken english start to come already, when writing in relax mode.

Hmm let me see what i want to update you guys about.

My exams will be in december, wah kinda stress but just do it lah. Then Jay chou album out, ehh not too bad ba, but of course not superb.

Oh yah and my sex partner, Cch going to have his exams in 2 weeks time, now he gan cheong already, everyday study study study. Eh speaking about him, maybe the financial crisis all started with him. Because he is famous for being unlucky, hmm so now he wanna grad in about 6 months time, then financial crisis. Oei Cch, mai sabo leh!

Rich

Just how to be rich?

Many people my age only have 1 thing in mind. Be rich. Easier said than done. I have seen many a hopeful soul, always saying ”I want to be rich”. In fact, i hear this everyday. But what follows is another question ”How to be rich?” Of course i got absolutely no answer to the question.

Some people are makes 100 000 a month while they spend 98000 a month. While some earn 5000 a month while spending only 1000. So who is richer? The one that saves more or the one that earns more? Some makes 10 000 with a simple ”buy” or ‘’sell” with ultimate stress. But some makes 1000 a month with a polite ”Can i clear your plates?” with a smile. So who is richer?

I doubt any of you could answer me the meaning of rich. Is 10m enough? 100m? If you ask me, it isn’t enough. Because enough was never enough to start with. I believe money is just a figure, because as what we will know, generally for daily living we only need to spend a certain amount of money. So money should correctly be used to keep score. Meaning if i had 10m i have scored 10m points and so on.

But this boils down to another question. If money is used to keep score, then whatever means to get it is not important. Because money is just a score. No?!

Its just a chicken and egg theory. Im just whining.

When you are rich,

Remember to be humble and teach

Never forget the moment of poor,

In this cold cold world.

Take a look up the sky,

Pray that God gave you the chance to fly,

Flap your wings, till the day you die.

分裂/離開

I know its been awhile.. Wont explain why i didnt blog, rather i would just start blogging now. Been hook on 2 songs these past week. It is Jay Chou’s old song. One is 搁浅 and the other is 分裂/離開.

Some of you might find it funny, why this song 分裂/離開 got 2 title. I just realise that in our Singapore version its called 分裂 while in the China version its called 離開. Reason being that in China its sort of a taboo to use words which describe splitting. And i meant splitting and not spitting. Though you can find the lyrics in baidu i will be Mr nice guy as usual and paste it here :-

坐着我的摩托车
载你缓缓的离开
考不上好的学校
可以不微笑就走
把手慢慢交给我
放下心中的困惑
雨点从两旁划过
割开两种精神的我
经过老伯的家
篮框变得好高
爬过的那棵树
又何时变得渺小
这样也好
开始没人注意到我
开始没人注意到你我
等雨变强之前
我们将会分化软弱
趁时间没发觉
让我带着你离开
没有了证明
没有了空虚
基于两种立场我会罩着你
趁时间没发觉
让我带着你离开
这不是顽固
这不是逃避
没人帮着你走才快乐

This song is very meaningful… It describes how 1 fails to do something he wants. For example to get into a good school. So sometimes, this person just wants to go to a place where there are no expectations, nothing to prove. But he knows that he must still get back top reality, still he hopes at the end of the day there is such a place, to escape, maybe, just for a moment…

I’m sure everyone dreams to be someone special. Me too. When i was in primary school, i didnt know the importance of studies. Thus, just study, and i went to a neighbourhood school (somewhat lousy school). While in secondary school, knowing the importance of studying (brainwash by the Singapore Education system), i dreamt of going to a good school (some elite JC), get good results and study in NUS/ NTU. But knowing the importance was not enough. I played more than I study, despite knowing the repurcussions. Sometimes when i look back, i really should have studied harder and practise more on my dy/dx. Ogling at girls wasnt the right way to get to a good school.

Do you sometimes wish to take a break from your life? From the harsh reality? Or are we just too weak, cause actually life is never easy. Sometimes i complain a lot, but i know that this is life. If life is that easy, then you pick a stone, throw it into a crowd, chances are that guy is a millionaire – but no he is a pauper =). So i say, life is full of ups and downs, when you fall, stand up, dust the dirt off your shoes, look up the sky above, breathe and smile. Cause whatever it is, rememeber – No one dies a virgin, cause life screws everyone in the end
