THE KIM HAS ARRIVED

okay okay. finally i'm a member of this nothing-to-do-or-simply-wanting-to-kill-time blog thing. by the way i'm using byrans com to access the internet and post on this blog....although i can never compare to his POWER language (or anyone else on this blog for that matter) the past few entries have been quite interesting. hah, for a moment there i wished that it could all go on....but oh well....kindness prevails at the end anyway....so no more conflicts; we all can be lovey-dovey and everything....aw...aw..aw.... it stirred up emotions, i must admit...both positive and negative ones...hmmm..even innocents got caught in the fray.....yes yes, for your information 'innocents' refers to me and a few others.....i demand justice! hahahah, no actually i'm just bein' an ass ah, so moving on....i'm going to the Dreaded Lair of Boredom everyday since my arrival back here in singapore....im' telling you, if climbing the damn gate and banging my head on the rusted and arched besi bergalvani metal spoke things they have to barracade NJC for god-knows-why; nearly scraping the top of my scalp on the ever so sharp barb-wires doesn't kill me, the bloody stairs will. so why am i putting my life on the line? simple reason.....to be noble and to serve the people of NJC~!!! (i could sense people puking onto their monitors as they read this; but at the same time i can see THE PHUA smiling from ear to ear)yeah yeah...you've guessed it.....i'm doing council duties.orientation, seniors farewell....ah,planning two super huge events....which will not be appreciated by any student at the end of the day anyway....don't ask me why i'm doin it.....and do me a favour, stop complainin' cause you don't know what its like. (to do all the shit and at the end still get screwed like hell from your council mates, teachers, hostelmates, classmates...you name it man) i'm beginning to feel that i'm writting like byran....hmmm...maybe cause W-E-A-R-E-O-N-E.....or maybe cause its 1215 in the morning. i'm not a night person. ah, enough blabber for the first entry.adios

Chains of Intelligence

I'm so proud of you I could almost cry, Feeding Time! You're on your way to a great adventure of madness and pointless idiocy! I'm sure you'll be more enlightened once you have liberated yourself from the chains of intelligence. Like we have. I'd like to thank all who participated in this amusing exchange over the past two weeks or so. If you've noticed, we've had almost daily postings on weekdays. I'm sure we've entertained all who wandered into this blog bored to death. Don't you think a little drama spiced up those dreadfully long moments at home/work/your computer with nothing to do? As a side note, I think olive branches in white doves' beaks are overrated. Who said a flopping fish in a penguin's beak can't be a gesture of peace too? All my comments were strictly for amusement only. No offense was meant and I hope none was taken during this distraction. Stay tuned for the next outrageous thing to hit this blog! P.S.: If you happen to have any ideas/premonitions/visions as to the nature of this next thing, please pass it to me in note. Quietly. Thanks.

Whatever Part 2

Well, well, well. Congratulations, penguin boy, on your victory of having turned me into an indifferent person and helping me become less serious. Even as I read that, I felt all the doggedness and concern over every problem I currently face melt away like the ice in the North Pole. Thank you, Bushite, for having liberated me from this horrible evil that has been plaguing me. It seems that your "victory at all costs" has paid off. Your mission to make me indifferent and less serious by being so resolute and focused on the task at hand has succeeded. Kudos for having made me indifferent by sacrificing indifference on your part and bothering to post that really lengthy rebuttal. Now that I have humbly admitted defeat at the flippers of the guy with the bird brains, I hope that his "road map to peace" will succeed as well. I hope he will succeed where his idol has failed: establishing peace. But since it's that time of the year it may be easier. I for one intend to apply in my life the following extract from a popular christmas carol: "Peace on earth and good will to men." (Doesn't quite mention penguins, does it?) Anyway, I accept the olive branch you have offered me, Byran, even it it did arrive in a penguin's beak and not a white dove's.

Penguins of Anarchy

See, Feeding Time, I knew you weren't irredeemable after all! The merits of the I-don't-give-a-damn attitude is exactly what I've been trying to get you to embrace after almost a year of your perpetual over-seriousness. Take it easy! Relax! Life is to be enjoyed, not to be endured or wrestled into place. And they said you'd never change! Hah, my faith in you wasn't for naught. You're absolutely right about my picking a battle you can't possibly win. You're not supposed to. I always fight to my own terms. Call it craven. I call it victory at all costs. I'm not cruel man, however. The ultimatum was originally set at Wednesday, even more impossible odds for you because you'd only discover it on Monday morning, upon which you'd have only Monday night and Tuesday to conjure something up. Then I relented this morning and edited the post to say Saturday. Don't say I'm not a fair man, though I most certainly am not. Please do not criticize my use of my loyal henchmen. They're more than just henchmen. We're more like actors in the same play. And you have to admit, it's a very entertaining play. Really, sometimes we surprise ourselves. To answer your question, Fish and Penguin is Irene Wong. I think I'll be changing my blog handle soon. I'm thinking of Penguins of Anarchy. More ridiculous and foppish than Fish with No Name, don't you think? Perfect. Yes, that's quite fantastic indeed. Elaine, you're not potong at all! In fact, we were resolving this conflict already! But, Feeding Time, as we both know, you aren't really serious at all about being indifferent. We know you. You're just trying to convince yourself that you won't care or are at least pretending not to care, but then if I were to be an idiot and post the picture you'd go ballistic on me and this'll end with a room full of naked guys and a horse. So in the interest of occasional future movie outings, as Su says, and the entertainment of an occasional spar over some new, unforeseeable foolishness, I will acquiesce to growing pressure and not post the Thing. I'm an entertainer, and as insane as I am, I'm a free spirit, not a destroyer. At least for today. Or so we should all hope. Now we can all go live in (relative) peace again.

Of customs and baggages-a happy post

I'm sorry to be so 'potong' and post a happy post in the middle of all that is going on in here, but i just have to anyway. ANYWAY, i'm HOME! :) As usual, it was an interesting singapore-to-senai airport journey. As always. Thank God i had a MAS coach right from copthorne orchid to senai. I absolutely cannot take the drama of taking a 170 to larkin then take a yellow bus (smiling as it is advertised to be) while struggling with my 4 bags. Haha, had tons of fun trying to squeeze everything into my bags.The night before, me and irene (w) were trying to fit everything that i hadn't packed into my suitcase and duffel bag that was already full to the max. let's just say it was an interesting task. Haha, it's actually sort of like working out a jigsaw puzzle (so we were going, hmm... how do we arrange that so we can fit this in? and shifting the things around in the bag over and over again) to find the best orientation for every single object to maximise the storage space. WARNING: please DO NOT dump everything into your luggages when you guys pack. I would recommend taking a ruler and a piece of paper, measure the exact size of everything you need to pack, and then work out carefully (using all the wonderful mathematics skills we have learnt) on how to arrange each and every object in the suitcase. Anyway, like they always do at the malaysian checkpoint (what's it called again?), our wonderful malaysian customs officers do a random bag check. I think they hate blue bags with a pink ribbon (that's for easy identification). especially bulging ones. They picked my bag!! every single time i go back they pick that same bag of mine. What's wrong with theM??? Anyway... imagine the trauma. If it took so much work for me and irene to close that bag, how long would it take for me to close it back after i've opened it up, showed it to the officer that i'm really only an innocent hardworking student who accidently overpacked, then close it back on? So i told the guy, sorry sir, it's going to take me a lot of work to close it back on later. I opened it up, assured him that that that hard thing below my clothes was just a file and not a box of drugs, then with his help (i'm sure i made him guilty for picking my bag) and closed it. Quite easily actually. Haha... So you see, with the correct orientation of every single object in the bag, it's actually quite possible to overstuff a suitcase and still re-open and close it easily. My, my, packing is such an exhausting task. It requires just as much thinking and brainstorming as doing maths tutorials. Never underestimate the power of packing smart. Whatever. Haha. :) Enjoy work, guys!

Whatever!

Dear me , isn't this a pretty pickle I have gotten myself into. Now I'm thinking to myself that I should have tried to snap a shot of you in the very interesting position you were in when I was in KFC and you were trying to bring your nether region to a position above your head. The only thing is that I don't have a digital camera and am unable to meet your challenge. You seem to have picked a battle with me that I can't possibly fight due to my lack of the necessary equipment i.e. a camera. I see that you are trying to live up to the title of craven that I have bestowed upon you. Kudos on being such a man and facing the challenges of the world much like your idol dubya (George W. Bush). Pre-emptive strikes and cowboy mentality and all. Plus, I can only guess that you have employed that you have employed the help of the other two henchmen in your room. You guys seem to speak an understand the same language, if a language is what you can call it. More like a combination of weird animal sounds and amusing body positions. For once, I agree with Ben's indifference but not with his insinuations that I'm over-reacting (which I probably am). Whatever( with an imitation Ben knee and voice modulation). Please be my guest and post that picture if you so wish. It would be nice to see the picture which you guys have been talking about. Consider it my Christmas gift to you in the season of love and happiness. Also, I was so taken in by Ben's comments and indifference (even though he bothered to post an instant message on this supposedly trivial thing) that I have decided to adopt the very same policy of indifference that I have failed miserably in applying to the rest of my life. Thank you hobbit for opening my eyes, or should I say helping me close them? P.S. who is the fish and the penguin dude? Kim? P.P.S. Thanks Elame for the wonderful Christmas present! It was really sweet of you guys. I'm already using it! Sorry, but my gift for you may come a little late so please bear with me. Thanks again!

The Paradigm has Shifted

Wow. That's quite a witch hunt you've organized there, Feeding Time. When you did that whole Stasi interrogation number on me yesterday I thought that was that, but I must admit that I've underestimated your tenacity (i.e. keras kepala-ness). Let me set the record straight: there is no lady. It's a man. Haha, had you there. Have I made you groan in disgust, Feeding Time? That always amuses me. You're a real bundle of fun, you know that. Yes you are, Feeding Time. Look, I go on "outings" and "escapades" as you so put it, and yes, usually there's a lady involved. But I don't go exclusive easily. Call me demanding but that's how I see it. Hence, we're not talking about a lady but a few potential but not quite ladies. Now that we're done discussing my love life in public, where's your damned Photoshopped picture of me? You might not believe in an eye for an eye but I think damn it when a man wants you to hit him you should. I think it's time to take preemptive measures against you, Feeding Time. We must be tough, ready to make difficult choices in the face of threats to liberty. The time to wait and respond to threats to liberty is over, that's a pre-9/11 mindset. The paradigm has shifted. I have decided to take preemptive action and whether you like it or not, whether you think it is the right thing to do or not, I am not moving. Hence, I am issuing you an ultimatum: I want my disgusting Photoshopped picture of me by next Friday or else that picture I removed from here comes back on. And it better be well disgusting enough to make me laugh. I'll be back the day after Christmas. Yeah, we better think of what we wanna do for New Year's Eve. But here's the thing: we're not leaving Orchard or wherever we're going until about four or five, ok. Number one: we're out to party wild. Number two: you can forget about getting back to hostel unless you plan to walk. Number three: damn it, it's 2005! What's wrong with you?

Two Fish With No Names

Hi, everyone! I see all this talk about new year and christmas and I am so sad that I won't be able to spend either with you guys. I sincerely am. After all the hell we all have gone through the past year, celebrating together would have been a real nice change. Anyway, A-TEN-TEE-ON PLEE-AH-SAY! A-TEN-TEE-ON PLEE-AH-SAY! I would like to request all of youto help me in the quest to discover the identity of the new lady in Byran's life. Considering that you have so much work to complete in your office, you don't get anough rest, and you come back pretty late from work attachment, you seem to have plenty of time and energy to go out on these interesting "outings" or "escapades" after work each day. I therefore hypothesise that you have finally found a female (Oh, please let the person be female!) companion! Byran, why won't you tell us the name of the other fish with no name? People, I have tried very hard to pry information out of this fellow and have failed miserably so if any of you have any information or compromising pictures than you can use to blackmail him, I would be very much obliged if you could use them. We really need some serious leverage to get him to stop dakuning and start speaking. A nd I don't mean in Ali G language. Those of you who are back home, enjoy yourselves. Those of you still in Singapore, enjoy yourselves when you go back home. I 'll be staying with my parents when they come down this weekend and I'll be in KL next weekend. So exciting! Have a great weekend!

for the first time

apa khabar semua!!!! i'm finally in! no longer need to post using the comments function. =) anyway, i havn't been seeing many of you peepz these days. sorry! been going to work before sunrise and returning to hostel after sunset. spend close to 3 hours travelling back and forth, approx 30min - 1 hr waiting for transport. close to torment. this reminds me of my workmate at grand hyatt singapore 2 years back who travels from tampines to orchard daily for work. but then working hours back there is fixed - 8 hours a day! now got 'super flexible' working hours...start work at 8.30am and can last till 12 hours later. everybody let's start planning what we want to do on 31 dec 2004 - new year's eve. STEP 1: get permission to stay out the whole night( so that you don't hav to worry about rushing back to hostel before 12 midnight!) hmm..call me super duperly anxious but i wonder how will our juniors next year be like? haha... i still rem the first night i spend in chbs the first thing on my mind was to look for you guys, yes you, you and you - malaysian asean scholars. don't think i can survive in this cheena-land without some mat blood.haha. you guys really help me keep in touch n not get adrift into becoming overly singaporean-ised. till next time. to all those still working...smile always! ps: who'll be around for christmas?

the green me

ehehe... i'm so green that i accidentally pressed enter after entering the title! haha... lucky for me elaine is right next to me in my room as an illegal immigrant i smuggled into my cluster... so i've learnt 1 thing new today! posts can be edited! =p *lame* anyway, this is my first time publishing a post in this blog so... u have to forgive my ignorance! anyway, "tenks" ben ben for inviting me! yay! now i'm a blogger! =P haven't been going out wid u guys for quite a while coz been busy wid sch stuff then my PARENTS CAME! =p sorry guys, couldn't help but rejoice! kinda forgot how fun it could be just hanging out wid all u people. glad i could do that again. it was totally wonderful! enjoyed tremendously n must definitely do it again sometime! sigh... sophia is gone again. but thanks to the net, we can all keep in touch even tho we're spread out all over the globe.widout the net i think i'd die of loneliness and desolation. haha.... not so bad la. i mean there'll alwez be some of u peeps ard to tok to! yay! seeing people leave then come back again before i go off can be quite depressing i guess... especially when i have to go for a work attachment that i can't make head from tail about! but at least it's a comforting thot that i'm still not the last to go back! dun worry u moe attachment peeps, my sympathy goes out to u guys. i'll be giving my full moral support from my cozy sofa back home the whole time! =P sorry, couldn't help but do that again! ehehe... *corny grin* well... tomorrow is my last day at work! then teenz camp for me!

Groggy Wake Up

Haha! Yes, I have nothing better to do with my time. To be precise, it was the night before work started and I was a bit too excited. Especially after ranting about the Amusing Picture Repository and all that. I'll have you know, Feeding Time, that you haven't offended me at all but have instead thoroughly amused and entertained me with your reaction. For that, the groggy wake up the next morning was worth my every groan of refusal to move. I am curious however, about this "retribution" you're talking about. Does that mean you'll Photoshop a picture of me if I don't remove the picture? An eye for an eye?This sounds fun. I want to see! I'll give you time to make a preemptive attack before I retaliate with the picture. Maybe an even more disgusting one. Hmmm. Anyway I'm sure you have quite some material from all the pictures of us I transfered to you. Let it not be said I am not a fair man, though I certainly am not. Su, not purple! Navy blue! More fun!

Flight of Fancy

Hey, people... How are you guys? For those who are home, yay! Home rules! For those who aren't, well... You must have a good reason for not being home... Er... Whatever... Anyway, so... what is this post about? Well... Hmmm... I don't actually know... Just a flight of fancy, i guess... Ha ha... Ok... So, what am I doing now while typing this post? Er... Should I admit this? Argh... Whatever... I'm watching CHOCOLAT... You know... Movie made quite long ago... About a sleepy French village with very rigid rules and old-fashioned lifestyle suddenly getting a visit from a mother and her illegitimate daughter opening a chocolaterie during the period of Lent... Making delicious stuff of course... As would be expected... But of course facing serious opposition from the mayor of the village... Its a very good movie really... Everyone should watch it... Ok... Enough with the movie review... Hmmm... What should I talk about now? Hee hee... Just thought of a lame joke... Malaysia : It is our nation. Home of scholars who are people who don't like the term "serve with honour"... Er... Ok... I see myself doing a lame stagger... But just because I typed that doesn't mean I've changed my feelings of patriotism... If you don't understand the last sentence... Hmmm... Perhaps you don't me well enough... Ok, that's all for today... Signing off, Hobbit Skywalker

a man? a dragon? or a knight?

pepsi ads *cant c the pic clearly?...click on the pic..or go and change ur specs... =)

Ahem....

Byran, I'll be really frank with you. Kudos to you for having found the worst possible picture of me you could find, blowing it up several hundred times, then posting it on the blog visited by most of the people I know and hold close to my heart. Congratulations on having nothing better to do with your time than to have used a photo editor to crop my most ugly mugshot from a picture of our closest friends in the amphitheatre, magnify it to its fullest glory, and display it among pictures of all the rest of us having fun and looking good. (The exception being the picture of Kim and Kean Kwoh who also didn't look too good but who were undoubtedly having fun) If you were trying to peeve me, you did a damn good job. I don't know what possesed you to commit such a despicably craven act of infamy against one of your friends but I would be much obliged if you would remove that offensive picture so that there won't be a need for retribution on my part. I will choose to believe that you were influenced by that ridiculous computer game you are playing: "Evil Genius". It's actually quite appropriate for you. And I'm not refering to the "Genius" part. In addition to my written objection to Byran's treacherous act, coupled together with the fact that it is the 23rd of November and I'm suffering from ennui in my office this morning, I would like to wish Elame HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I sent you a birthday message first thing this morning and I have yet to receive a reply. Since you have chosen to ignore me, I decided that I would post my birthday message here so that someone who knows you could read it and pass my humble message to Elame. Seriously, have an absolutely fantastic birthday and may the Lord shower you with His choicest blessings all the days of your life. I am so utterly bored at work!!! My boss is away on a business trip to London and he has left me under another guy who barely acknowldeges my existence much less give me work or attempt to educate me about the job. It really looks like this listlessness is going to continue for the remainder of this week. I really feel like an idiot for having signed up for this work attachment. On the flipside, I have learnt quite a bit about law and find it rather interesting not to mention the fact that these guys here make major big bucks. Still, I feel that my time would have been better spent at home. Considering the fact that the situation in my office is not going to be changing any time soon, you can expect plenty of new postings by yours truly in the days to come. Sigh.... ps. no hard feelings, Byran pps. People!!! Please continue coming down to the amphitheatre every night even after Sophia has left becuse I'm sure all of us enjoyed ourselves last night and it brought back fond memories.

What's the Point?

This was a comment on Elaine's post, but since the damned blog is so empty I might as well repost it at the main board. So don't bother reading the comment coz this one's got more fun stuff in it. First of all, I resent the comment on the treehouses in the hutan khatulistiwas of Borneo. All the orang Barat think Sabahans still live in longhouses and treehouses and outhouses, more so than Sarawakians. And by orang Barat, I don't mean the white dudes. At least they think we all haven't crawled out of the jungles yet. Now there's equality for you. Second, I think it's really just sad that it's just Elaine, Ben, Wei Jian, and I who visit the blog. And maybe Chun Wai, but that's because he's a Permanent Resident of Bytz and has got nothing better to do in school during all those free periods. Now that he's home? Tough to say. The fate of this blog appears to be that of an Amusing Picture of the Day repository for those of us with too much time, too little amusement, and no Photoshop skills whatsoever. In honor of this statement, I will follow up with a Photoshopped picture of us soon. Kim Ong, get ready. I feel inspiration and it involves a picture of your face. But then again, you rarely visit the blog anyway unless I remind you to, so what the hey. Like Andrew. Hmmm... Maybe both your faces? Something gay? I have no shame. Really, I just visit this blog, look at the last post which has the most uncanny tendency to be almost certainly mine and I think "What should I write here?" And the answer is, of course, nothing you haven't heard already. We all see too much of each other as it is. We're like brothers and sisters in a big family where our parents are always out. It's sweet, but then what the hell haven't we told each other? It would of course be great if everyone kept posting from home, but then most of the only people who post here are still stuck in this hellhole called Singapore. So. Tell me then. What's the whole point of a blog when we already know all about what we've been doing lately? What's the point other than the Amusing Picture of the Day competition? Yeah! Now that's what we call purpose! Watch me, I'll defeat Wei Jian's Sprite Ice soon...

sprite ice ...cool~~

Okay, here goes.

I'm bloggin' ! :) Past few days have been quite boring. Except for the countless shopping trips (to buy CHRISTmas presents, duh!) you guys saw me coming back from. And, of course, the college annual designs. And packing. Goodness knows why i brought here a whole lot of junk then i've never used and probably will never ever use here. Oh yea, but i'm glad to inform ya all that my wardrobe indeed has expanded. Yeap, it's confirmed. It has doubled since the beginning of the year. And I'm proud of it! man, you guys should see the state of my room now. Boxes, wrappers, ribbons, paper and clothes everywhere. And i'm barely half there. But i like my room here. So homey. Just like my room at home. Hope we get to keep our rooms next year though. love my room. and my roommate. Half the people here are back home. :p sigh. And no ones comes down anymore. What's wrong with us?? My architecture attachment starts next week. two weeks more till home! We must all make a resolution to blog this holiday. Or else everyone won't know what's going on with everyone else's lives. Please, think of us poor people who still live up in treehouses in the hutan khatulistiwas of Borneo. We need to know what's happening over at the other side of tanah air ku tercinta! Besides, we need to provide entertainment for each other, right? Isn't that what blogs are meant to be for? Alrighty, i'll stop. everything is sounding so incoherent to each other. But at least i can say i blogged! P/S: why am i packing so early when i'm only going back in 2 weeks? hmm... good question. I'll think about it.
