The Best I Could

I am concurrently reading 2 books now – The Alchemist and The best I could.

The alchemist is about a fictionous book. It is about a shepard who roams the world. Breaking the monotony of life and chasing his dreams. It is also tinge with lots of religious content which sort of puts me off. Because I feel that it could be a really good book, but still so far i read halfyway, i would say it is only all right.

The best I could is a book by our own Suhbas Anadan. As he have appeared on newspapers on countless occasion, i guess you guess know who is he. For those who don’t, he is Singapore’s most infamous criminal lawyer. He took a number of cases, high profiles ones like Ah Took (Huang Na killer), and Anthony Ler( the guy that killed his wife). Initially what i know of this lawyer is that he is a person who fight those sure lose case. And other impression of him is that he had a very poor health and he is a gangster. But of course it was just my impression of him. I didnt really read deeply into him, partly because im not at all interested in the law industry. But still i decided to pick up his book, because i felt he was like special or different in a normally high class law industry. He seems to be a down to earth man, dared to be different, had opinions and dared to speak up. He also seems to me to always want to protect the weak, and he loves his family. He also seems to be hated by the local lawyers, who feels that he is a disgrace to the law industry. But he seems to know what he is doing, maybe he does love the attention, but still he seems to be a good man in a industry where lawyers nowadays think they are a shoulder above the rest. In a way, though im not as successful as he is, i feel i can connect with him, like he is just like me, or im just like him for the matter.

This was roughly how i felt about him before i read the book. After reading it and doing some searches on the net, im totally taken by him. Here is a man, from normal family. He was playful during his younger days but still he manage to go into RI. But of course he was the outcast in RI as he is like gangster gangster type. I think some of you guys might not know this, but he went to prison before. For a crime he didnt commit. In the end he was release.

I don’t know him personally, so of course i judge base on the limited resources i have. From what i understand, he knows a lot a lof of gangsters. In fact, he is friend with many of them. He believes in the law, but why you might ask does he defend people who have obviously committed a crime. Because he believes that everyone deserves a fair trial (which i totally agree). He criticies that Singpaore’s law have many loopholes, and we are lagging behind first world countires in terms of laws – very interesting, another perspective that i have never thought of. He loves his family. A single blog can’t finish talking about him, in fact it would be sort of unfair. You guys should read the book, its quite interesting. Borrow is from me or get it from any major bookstore.

The other book im going to start reading is Digital Fortress. Yes, the 1 by Dan Brown. I don’t know whether is it good. I hope so. Anyways im looking for JFK official biography, if any of you guys see it, please call meeee. It’s a damn good book, i want to buy and keep it for my future son wahaha.

Anyways life is still boring. Nothing interesting to ”make my day”. Come do something to make my day lads.

They Are Full Of Shit Too

Its friday hohoho. Friday friday. I love fridays.

Let’s make some complaints on this blog entry today. I realise in my facebook I’ve been flooded with people doing quiz and using the ‘’shout out” function. Please get a life. No one wants to know like every other hour what you are thinking in your brain. Seriously, if you guys wanted people to know, use tweeter or something. Its really annoying. And its always the same culprits. These people are normally serial attention seekers man. Ryan is an attention seeker, but at least he trys to control himself hahaha.

Next up, Ive been meeting a lot of rude people recently. Like wtf?! I went to the apple store the cine. The salesgirl is really cannot make it. I ask her about connecting the ipod to my car. She said she didnt know and then look at me, as though the answers on my face. Then i told her, ”do you mind asking your colleagues?” She gave me the ”wtf, you damn mah fun” look. Fine. I didnt buy, cause screw u, there are many apple stores elsewhere.

And the other day, i went to eat at kopitiam, opposite cine. Also damn rude. I don’t understand why Singaporeans or people working in the service line can’t be a tad more courteous. Seriously, this is reflects on our lousy Singaporean service standard. And its not like i was rude, i swear i was damn polite. I think doing business in Singapore is not that hard, just open a cafe with excellent service, i bet you people like me will be regulars.

Oh yah i met up with my cousin yesterday. He’s really a hardworking fella. Sometimes a little blur and stuff. But seriously he is damn smart. He is like mensa member can. Its a club for people with 140 (or 120 i forgot) IQ and above. And he got 2nd upper from NUS. Now he working, doing part time mlm and tuition. Wah power lah! Not forgetting, he from rich family. Rich as in Bukit Timah rich. He doesnt need to work, but still he works damn hard to earn his own keep. He bought a condo at tao payoh, and he’s only 26 this year. He said its not his money, blah blah. But i know he was just being humble. Nice chap, for sure he’ll succeed in life. Though i have a certain dislike towards people with rich parents, i wont take it away from him that he is a nice and humble man. And just to add, its not because he is my cousin. Because i absolutely detest the rest of my cousins hahahahaa.

He gave me an outlook on his business. The mlm business. Sorry but im not interested at all. I know it makes money, Maybe im not up to such a business. Maybe i fear the way people look at mlm salesman. I don’t know, but what i do know is, this is not what i want.

Yesterday i saw a damn pretty babe at cine. Im not kidding u. She is really really really pretty x100. 9/10. Like movie star. I still can remember her face, like woooo.

I can see this weekend will be boring. No programs as yet for saturday. Actually want to go play board games, but seems Yj is overseas and Jy got date, i think will not be fun enough. Actually i really hope all of them quickly find a job. Of course not anyhow job. I mean find a job as in a good job. Cause i feel we will be even much more closer when everyone goes out to work. More topic to talk about, more on the same wavelength. More experience to share with each other. Everyone will also be more enthu to go out and relax or network more people. Confidence will be higher. I hope we stick as a group all right.

All right, enough of blogging, eating into my lunch hour. I’m going to have quickie lunch and then back to work.

Fuck off :-

They point a finger at me

So I point one back at them!

But not the index or pinky

Or the ring or the thumb

Its the one you put up

When you dont give a fuck!!

When you wont just put up

With the bullshit they pull

Cause they are full of shit too

I Won’t Worry My Life Away

Seriously i did this post in intervals of 3 days because everytime i start writing, something had to crop up. I wrote it on monday and today is wednesday haha. So here goes,

Weekends are over, and now a brand new cycle starts.

This weekend that just pass was not too bad. In fact it was good. Movie night friday was a date with Russell Crowe. His new movie ‘’state of play” was not too bad. He is a damn good actor, so most of the time, checking out his acting is well worth the price of the movie tickets.

Saturday i woke up early. I mean early for a Saturday. I had to go to turf city to pass my car to the car dealer. As most of you guys have known by now, im selling my beat-up old car. To be honest, the night before i was kinda sad that i was selling the car. You see, the car is something i spend most of the time in other than the office. And of course there are a lot of memories, some good, some bad, some you might want to remember but most that you might want to forget. But whatever it is, if the old don’t go, the new will never arrive.

In fact I just pick up the new car. Hmm not too bad. At least after spending a bomb, that’s the least i can say haha. A lot of gadgets which i not sure what it is. Maybe slowly then will understand the car more. I don’t intend to do much to the car, maybe just change my rims. I think very sian to do up car now. Like old already i guess.

Saturday was the celebration of Junyuan’s birthday. We spend quite a lot. I don’t know why either. Maybe we got sort of carried away. And i realise they charge for the fruits. So the next time we go, we will ask them to take the fruits away hahaa. This is not niao, its just that, why the hell do you wanna eat a plate of fruits which cost $50. You are going to party and party equals to booze and not fruits. Anyway it was quite fun. I guess most of us drank a lot. Normally I will pay first, and i really don’t mind, but you know what I hate about paying first. No its not about getting the money back or what. It’s the part whereby I need to make a judgement on how much a person pays. Of course I know my friends trust me because they know i wont cheat them. But its not that, because generally when we go out and split the bill it comes down to 2 groups – drinkers and non drinkers. So im also not too sure how to split the bill. Its sometimes quite difficult. Like because of the drinkers thus there is a ”free” room, but the non drinkers don’t drink what, why they must pay. Very tricky right. Then there is the case of not enough drinkers. I think most of them want to drink, but its the money issue. But the good thing is, they are all steady enough to step up to share the bill. Which i think its really something to be praise. Good news is, when most of them start working in the near future, everyone will have even a better time. Anyways, guys, whenever i split the bill, when you have objections, please raise. At least we know next time how you would like the bill to be splitted. Generally I stick to the rule of, non drinkers wont pay more than drinkers. And for example if non drinkers pay 50$ drinkers will pay 80$. About 50% more. So just for you guys info, thats how i try to do it.

As you guys know, ive been rather busy. It with regards to the Hongkong Futures Exchange Spreads. I’m not going to explain what it is in this blog, but this project totally screwed me up. At least to me it’s damn difficult to understand. I damn headache. But good thing is, more or less the torture is going to end. I seriously need a break from my laptop, handphone, and the bloody Micorsoft outlook. This break which i thought would come on 1st July (Sydney) was much anticipated. But thanks to the boss, my leave is in jeopardy. Because ive got another major project coming up after the above. Seriously my whining of not having sex nowadays carries no water. You know why? Cause why the hell do i need sex? My boss fucks me everyday!

But still i prefer a challenge. I think money is important, but seriously i prefer the challenge. Being challenge is very important to me. I like to whine, not because i want to irritate people or im not enjoying being challenge. Whining is my outlet. You guys should try it, works everytime for me.

All right, what else do I want to write about. Ok why not some pondering for you guys. ”What would you give up 5 years of your life for?” Happy thinking! We’ll talk about it, next time round when we see each other. For those who don’t get to see me, you can mail it to my fan mailbox at randyissodamnhandsomeicanlickhisface@mailmail.com

Adios Ronaldo

So the circus is finally going to be over soon. Read a few articles and I strongly believe that everyone important from Real Madrid to Manchester knew that he was going to go this season. That means I wont ‘’sell the mob a virus” was a lie. Or maybe Sir Alex didnt have a choice? I don’t know. What i do know is, in Manchester United, no player is bigger than the club. And if you are going to sell yourself like the knitted shirt on the mannequin outside Ted Baker, then please go.

I find it funny that players want to leave Manchester United. Maybe if you are a fringe player, or the fans don’t like you, i can understand. But Ronaldo was like the man. He could find not fault. The gaffer always protected him. And he was a star. Which player have left Manchester United and played well? RVN? Jaap Stam? Beckham? These are the 3 who did ”better”. But still you wouldnt remember them as world class after they left Manchester United. And how many players have gone to Real Madrid and failed. And we all know Real Madrid have such a lousy structure that they are practically screwed up. Other than the Godly Zidane, they have a power to make bad players go bad.

Still 80million pounds and 160 000 pounds wages off Manchester United balance sheet is good news. I don’t think he is worth so much though im sure he is 1 of the top 2 players in the world. I’m not sure who would replace him, but im sure next season we will be emphasis on team play. But I would personally like to thank his service to the club, as he have done well. Thank you Ronaldo, you were 1 of the best to don the Manchester United jersey, sans the whining.

1 thing i would also like to touch on is after the CL game he complain about Sir Alex tactic. Like seriously Ronnie, please do respect Sir Alex. To say he made you what you were today is an understatement. Without him and Quieroz you would still be playing in the Celtic look alike jersey.

Anyway where do Real Madrid find all these money to buy players. Are they seriously a business entity? 100 over pounds omg.

Some poeple tell me that having lost Ronaldo we are dead. Without a doubt it will weaken us, but i think much less than if Gerrard leaves Liverpool. We have lost countless players whom are talismen. Keano, Cantona, Yorkie, Bryan Robson. But look at where are we still – look up, get it?

1 more league title and we will be ahead of Liverpool. But ive got a sneaky feeling liverpool all come out all gun blazing next year. Because this year they nearly (i dunno why being 4 points adrift and only challenging on 1 front makes it near) won the title. Liverpool reminds me of a date with a lady all going wrong. Its like a beautiful lady agrees on a date with ya, you are all pep up. You ask your mum for more money as you complain to her ”eh guy A spend a lot lah, i need the money to chase her”. But you complain to your close friends that ”knn guy A is ah sia, nabei”. Then u thought things were gonna be good, u dress to impress. But you tell your friends ”no lah cannot, bo ko leng”. In the bottom of your heart, you want the girl a lot, and you thought got chance. Then ”wham!”, she gives you the ”you are just a pretender” look. And then you lose it, go around saying ”aiya i also dont want to woo her lah, this is a FACT”. Or you go, ”I’ll congratulate her when she finds a good man, but no i wont congratulate the guy.”

Oh yah and my office got someone kanna swine flu, like wtf. Yesterday the guy still come office. I’m feeling feverish…… Hmmm.

Same Song and Dance

Just gotten back from Genting. Damn tired….. Feeling rather restless too, i think maybe because did not have ample rest. But it’s ok, few more days and then its the weekends.. So let me blog about the memorial events from last week. If i can’t remember off hand means its not memorial haha.

Thursday, we went to celebrate Youjun’s birthday. The intended meeting time was 7pm. But i was late as i had to work. So i reached Marina Square at about 9pm thereabouts. The lads had already finish their dinner and were going onto dessert. The food was only so-so. But actually it was not too expensive so i guess we can’t expect much. The waitress was rather funny though, but still not my cup of green tea. Next up we went to Timbre. I heard rave reviews regarding the place, especially the band. I dunno, but i think its really pretty average. Not forgetting they had like a full band there, with keyboards and stuffs. I think some bands with only a guitar and a singer can perform better.  I have no idea why is Timbre such a ”hot” place, maybe because it attracts the ”cool” crowd. But not very cool leh the people there. Like got kids hanging around there too. But anyways i think the main attraction or the main thing that timbre is different from other places is that the stage and the sitting area is very close. This place is for you to listen to music and chill. Because all the seats are placed to face the stage. Its not like some places, whereby the band just plays in the background while you do what you want to do. For this place, the main thing is the position of seats and the stage. I realise people seem to like that, but some improvements can be made.

During the weekends, i went on a short trip to Genting. I realise Malaysian girls got some damnn pretty. Like serious. I saw a few, who can beat their causeway rivals like anytime. But still the George Clooney in me could not be activated.

Okie, I know i’ve been blogging like crap these past few weeks. Like im blogging 1) I went to XYZ 2) I feel bored/happy/sad 3) Then i go there again 4) then go home 5) Et Cetera Et Cetera.

But cut me some slack. Cause blogging is like an outlet. Just for fun. If 1 day i dont see blogging as an outlet then i wont blog anymore, its really as simple as that.

I want to get the ipod touch. My mp3 is like so old school. And the battery a bit siao siao. I’ve used the mp3 for about 1 year. Oh and Gw before i forget. I confirm the ipod classic i’m talking about comes in 120GB. yes, 120GB!

I also need a new lappy. My lappy is spoilt. But i think this is not urgent yet. Since it’s still usable just that its damnnn slow.

Let’s see if this week can get better. Damnnn lethargic like i’m going to die. Bless me !

G-Star

Just for your info, my topic have no link to what i’m going to write. Cause a topic is actually quite difficult to think of. But i just bought a G-Star jeans, so yea just wrote G-Star. Damn shiok!

Now now, today’s topic is a little passe. But i think its interesting. I just thought of this question – Does look matter ? This question is like in a general sense. Does look matter in finding a gf/bf? Does look matter when you are finding a job? Let’s just touch on this 2 aspect of life since relationship and career is like very important in everyone’s life.

Let me first make stand, i feel that looks are important in a relationship and career. And in talking about looks, its not only how you look, but also your appearance. I think you got my drift. I think i will also only touch on a guy’s perspective only.

When a guy sees a girl a friend introduces. the first thing on the guy’s mind is ”is the girl pretty?”. No matter how hard we guys try not to be shallow, its difficult. Its like this file which scans girls in our brain cannot be uninstalled. If a girl is like very kind hearted, can do house work blah blah, but she’s like fat. Comparing this girl to another, pretty, petty, lazy. How many guys will choose the latter? Let me tell you. Nearly like 95%. And the 5%? i suppose they can like erect even when they see a monkey. And the above question is when YOU can choose. I do not mean like when you don’t have a choice. Normally only when you don’t have a choice then got what just take what lah. Like no fish prawn also good. But if you can choose, i guess we all know the answer. So by right it goes this way, guys will try hard to find a hot babe, after a few years they realise they had a mirror at home. And then viola~ they lower their expectations. Lucky guys whom are in this phase might find a hot babe. The unlucky ones either keep finding, or just settle for someone average or below average. But guys have an advantage on this rather than girls. You see, we will have seen a babe with an ugly guy. But seldom you see a handsome guy with an ugly girl. Why? Cause i think girls are not as superficial as a guy. Guys are more shallow, girls look deeper into a guys heart.

Guys also have another theory for finding a beautiful gf. I always hear this ”if im gonna spend the rest of my 40years with her, at least she’s hot”. Yaya she is, until her breast sags. Get it? But still we fail to see or feel deeper than the outer layer of humans.

Not forgetting, for a guy to chase a girl, we need to be attracted to her. And the only way to get a guy attracted is the ladies appearance. Don’t tell me you see this girl for the first time and you go ”woah she have a heart of gold.” Save the politically correct answers for the mail man.

But still its a fact, love at first sight – Bullshit. Lust at first sight – Real.

Next up, work place. Everyone loves a analytical, quick thinking brain in the work place. Because this person can make good decisions fast. Which in a office is pretty useful. But if you are a manager. Interviewing 2 candidates. Let’s assume everything is equal except their looks. Please please don’t tell me you gonna employ the uglier looking guy? I doubt. Because i doubt you would want to work with someone whom you see already also want to whack him right?

Another thing, a guy who looks sloppy will seem to have no confident. Even if your answers are correct, people might doubt you. When people doubt you, then its rather screwed. Because every mistake you make, people will pick on them. Guys with confidence can ”bluff” their way through. Trust me, i’ve seen this a thousand times. But i realise its those good looking and people who look after their appearance play this game well.

Its funny how this world is rather shallow. When you see a fat person, automatically you would think, this guy is damn sloppy. In fact, its half true. Because if he cared, he would have tried to lose weight.

I try in my life to not be as shallow as how others are. Sometimes im able to do it. Sometimes im not. I would say, i wouldnt purposely look for a hot babe. But i will look for someone whom i think is acceptable (looks). And acceptable varies from people to people. But generally its above UGLY.

For appearance, i try to look good. Of course good also varies amongst people. But i think the general rule of the thumb is, not to be too extravagant. Subtle is good. And of course, don’t dress nicer than your boss. That’s the killer.

As usual, there’s many things to touch on this topic, but i’ll leave it to you guys to ponder over it.

Lastly, yesterday i sms the lads, about Thursday’s dinner date for Youjun’s birthday. I didnt mean to be mean when i touch on ”those who did not reply”. Its just like, if you don’t give a fuck, why should i give a fuck. But i still gave a fuck, in inviting everyone, for old times sake. But this is SO fucking over. Like SERIOUSLY. When you don’t have the decency to reply to an invitation, personally it speaks volume of a person’s character. Firstly, your decision making sucks big time. Secondly, your time management sucks double big time. Thirdly, you have no respect for others which in turn doesn’t warrant a respect to you. All this just simply means that you don’t take things seriously, which also means you don’t take the stuffs you do seriously. And i’m disappointed. No one can be too busy to reply an sms. No matter how much you argue, i just can’t accept it. I’m not being hard or anyone, neither do I have the right. But i do have the right to complain when no respect is given to me when I invite everyone to a gathering especially if it’s your brother’s birthday. Doesn’t mean you die die have to come, but it just means that an answer is needed. I’m busy too, like everyone. Come on let’s be honest, those who didnt reply was not busy. They just couldnt give 2 hoots about the invitation or they are not capable of being given a lot of task. People give themselves lots of reasons for things they want to do, and way lots of excuses for stuffs they don’t want to do. Base on this, no one is right or wrong. But still, we strive to be our best don’t we. Do you seek the publics approval of your character or do you seek the people close to your heart for approval. For me i choose for people close to me to approve of what i do. And if i can’t respect the people close to my heart sincerely, then i doubt i give a real good account of myself.

Lying to everyone is 1 thing. Lying to yourself, you hurt yourself in the end.

Randolf :-

I never really gave up on
Breaking out of this two star town
I got the green light
I got a little fight
I’m gonna turn this thing around

Oh well I don’t mind, if you don’t mind
Cause I don’t shine if you don’t shine!

So Dark The Con Of Man

I’m still depress damn it. Like seriously.

Been reading the Da Vinci Code, yaya, I know its like so long already right. But actually i was not very interested in that book, cause i like to read non-fiction stuffs. But Guowen insist I just read the first chapter. And to be honest, the book is damn good. It likes you are waiting for a riddle to be solved. So the more you want to read it. As you want to know the ”end”. Thumbs up for the book.

But thumbs down in my work place. Seriously, i think i need a new challenge. I’m freaking burn out by the work. I can go on the whole night if ya guys are interested. But i guess not, so i will spare you with this boring piece of information.

I think Humans are generally selfish. To the extend that it bothers me sometimes. The ugly side of man is the worst side of all living things with blood flowing through their veins. Did God create this world in this way, or did something wrong happen along the way. Maybe i’m getting too serious, but i just had an incident which made me feel absolutely pissed. Rant: ”Well fuck it, that mother fucker can get it, fuck him!”.

Life is tedious, fighting this war alone is worse.

Let me see what to update u guys about. Hmm, practically nothing much. Kick some soccer, went window shopping. Thats about all for the weekends.

Need to change some things in life to get to the top. Need to change…

Don’t Let Them Say You Ain’t Beautiful, They Can All Fucked, Just Stay True To You…
