we've got VVIP tix to give away if you can answer some questions.....

1. who's the most successful copy-cat?
2. who is bright enuff to copy the cat?
3. if there are kopi-cat, would there be 'teh-pussy'?

I've got my first copy.... have you got yours??!
(*wink*)

Love Generation?!

Some of the most successful people are copycats........ I'm one now! a successful copycat. hah!!

Why does hip hop is always associated with violence? Fine, hip hop originates from the ghetto culture and it speaks of their live and struggle and those shits.... But, what does it got to do with Singapore or other Asian countries? This is not our culture nor what we live for. We've got no ghetto shit! Buto we got lots! Its just a fad and phase that the younger generation goes thru every time MTV changes its directions. Let me remind you once again that MTV is actually run by the devils!! That's why they never play house music.

In Singapore, I wonder who else will be the next casualty due to the rift-raft of the hip hop scene. If we were to look at the clubbing history in Singapore, all the clubs that embrace hip hop as its main direction had to close due to violence or misconduct of its patrons. Nevertheless, all these clubs did made some profit out of all these misfortunes.

Who should be blame for all these? Is it the club, who tries to accommodate to the patrons choice of entertainment? Is it the sale of alcohol? Is it the patrons, who get bored and start fights as their form of entertainment? Is it the club who are too eager to accommodate the 'un-civilized' and let itself be infested with rogues? Is it .......... - there'll be too much too ask, with too little time to stop for a cigi.

I'm not saying clubs that project electronic dance music doesn't have a problem. Every genre of music has its own problems, but hip hop clubs has a long and negative history. not sure anybody remember these clubs that had to close due these related problems.....

With all the things that has happened before, no one seem to bother looking at the history and its consequences. In fact, everyone is confident that all is taken care of.....

I still believe in "PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE..."

Early today, while I was having breakfast at The House of Prata, I had the chance of eves-dropping on 2 60-yr old women chatting about their life in Singapore. One was an Indian, the other Chinese, and both look at least 60-70 yrs of age........

Apparently, they were friends since their virgin days and today was their monthly' 'catch-up' session. They were recalling events that brought laughter and tears, and things that have affected their lives......

What caught my attention most was not what they were talking about, in fact, it was how they were talking and the language. You see, I find it intriguing that an Indian and a Chinese woman communicate in Malay. In fact, it was fluent and sounded like 'old-school' malay back in the 50s.

I thought it shows everything about this country. Don't mind me being a lil' patriotic today. With all the TV adverts about Total Defence, and what I say and heard today.... I think we're not that bad after all. Just look at Lone Ranger and Tonto......

I hope someone read this post........ maybe I should get the PBM at National Day Awards!!

We the citizens of ........... ; )

Speaking of Total Defence, someone kena RT....hahahahaha.... train some more!! We need you!!.... hahahahaha...... Go run some more!! ROD lo!!

Had a productive meeting and chat with the group's big-wig today. Talking about the possibilities of having a partner to take things to a 'different level'..... everybody seems to be eMthusiastic about what the future can be. However, only time can tell what's in for all of us. If all come to terms, there might be a case of 'multiple-orgasm' from the mosquitos in the pond below. Our days are numbered, we can't let people suffer from aural pollution in this town infested with #(&%$........

Not expecting anyone to understand this post........ I'll cross my fingers, you cross your toes, and everybody else be cross-eyed.

Hayoooo Silver!!! Ton-ton-ton-tonto!!

Thursday is the day........

If you're bored this sunday evening, tired to go club Happy to party..... go and listen to this guy giving his sermon. Interesting life of a DJ who wants to grow up and become Michael Jackson. If you're lucky, like some people, you might just bump to him at the MRT station or along Orchard Rd. He'll be carrying his portfolio and a New Paper. don't forget to stop him and say hi.... he'll be inviting you for a cuppa.... the rest, as they say, is ..........

For the next few days, there will be lots of private remarks and jokes in the post.... those 'in-the-know' would have expected this.... but those who wanna know..... just drop a note.

This is something i had to write, courtesy of Yukun. It happened a few years ago at Zouk when Deep Dish (above) was guest DJs. A friend posted this question while pointing at a member of Deep Dish and a Zouk cleaner.....

Friend : what's the difference between these 2 banglas (Ali Dubfire is a Bangladeshi)

the Rest: What???

Friend: (pointing to DeepDish) that one 'ROCK' the floor!! (pointing to the cleaner) that one clean the floor!!

I thought that was freaking funny.........(btw DeepDish played at MoS last Friday....)

There's a saying that goes "There's a Child in all of US." Unforunately, I didn't expect how childish people can be despite of the sophistication they present. We always speak of others flaws and faults, but we refuse to admit our own. - Taking back what was given doesn't heal the heart but creates a mole that will remind of stupidity and immaturity.

what's with the people who wanna sit and talk when they have done something wrong. and some, talk when nothing's been done! there was and old wise d*ck who said No-Action-Talk-Only.

TALK COCK


Not forgetting also that some of these people, when given the chance, they 'talk cock' instead of trying to redeem themself from all the mistakes. what's the point of talking if nothing ever get done??!! is it "just for the sake of interaction"?..... I'd rather have an erection!! wake up and smell the freaking fresh air!! its 2007, grow-up dick-heads!! stop talking, and start moving your ass!! don't just talk to impress the bosses, start impressing yourself first!

Nevertheless, I had a good and 'fruitful' talking-cock session with Yukun on tuesday night..... who says DJs always talk about music all the time?? If you guys think that there's something in the pipeline from the both uf us.......? you're right!! we gonna be doing a stand-up comedy about our NS/reservist life. Promise you we will not make fun of people...... just moron's who used to wear the green uniforms. and, I will start by singing that song I sang during COS duties in the early morning!!

"mari Kita ...bla, bla, bla....."
I'll make sure its gonna be loud!

btw, remember people, sometimes its good to "talk-cock" when nothing's wrong. but not when you're one of those people who does nothing but talk-shit!!

Long-live JOJO Dali!

Interesting week at eM Studio... the crowd just came in like they knew something good was going to happen. To those who came, stayed and swayed till the end... thank you! you guys were awesome!! ...... and, please don't start crying again when you hear "Higher State of ..."

disco, funky & elektro

gettin' ready for line-dancing

my guest this week (Edwin e-tracx)

it's damn bloody tiring playing 6-hour sets, but all's fine if the crowd dig the music. thank goodness only 1 ang moh guy come and ask for hip hop, and he was polite..... (btw he looks like K-Fed). to the group that was dancing to Celia Cruz and Bebel Gilberto, HOT!

See ya next week. guestlist only.....

We just launched our 13th outlet - ICE COLD B's @ SMU. yup, a beer bar in SMU. nothing to be proud of but people seem to think that its a cool idea. considering Singapore wants to be an education hub, having a pub in a school is JUST we need right now!! ; )

We really need to teach the younger generation that if you get stressed out over studies, relationship, family problems, peer pressure.... all u need to do is DRINK! btw, show your student's card and you'll get 30% OFF!!!

What happen to 'moral obligation' to the younger generation? don't blame us. the governing people started this..... they want excitement, 'groung-breaking', bla, bla, bla..... and also.... the casinos are coming.. that'll help.

While the lecturers teach business in the theatre, we teach something else. Like which beer will not kill you, which beer will turn the girls on, or even, which kind of beer will make you a better MAN. It goes the same with the opposite sex.

But there's something that I find interesting during my time there. We all know that the SMU girls are HOT! coming to school in micro skirts and shorts that would kill grandma. they claim that its freaking cold in the lecture rooms and classes. that's why they carry sweats and cardigans. but what do they do with the lower part of the body? Frankly, it'll be hard for me if I was the lecturer... I mean HARD.

They guys are predictable. Always in soccer jerseys and bermudas and a cap. nothing interesting. Typical local boy.

And what about US trying to please these young boys into becoming regulars at the outlet. They get bloody swell headed that they think they can change things......

"hi!..... I'm Ah Beng S.O.B... I'm a regular here, I know your boss. can you please play some music from my iPod? " - WTF!! you know my boss?! i know ur MOM and wat she's wearing!!
next time will be - "hi, its my birthday, can you play my iPod..?? - yeah sure!! why don't you go play with yourself with your iPod!!

I remember my Uni days at MIT... we had our own hangout pub. that place was where many lost their virginity, future, pride and even life. Maybe its a long way from MIT, but shit happens everywhere.

I got a call today from a 'fan', who said........

"Dude, what happen to you?? U becoming so mellow and 'soft'. what happen to the complaints, rants and b*tching??...... are you in celibacy? What happen to the 'guy' who has problem with the WORLD??"

bloody hell.......!! I act like human being wrong, act like animal wrong. be nice, WRONG, be a JERK, also WRONG!! knn!! you got no life izit?? go play with yourself la!!

btw, thanks for reading!! : )

tmw got time, I write some more...... (in the mood for some Singlish stuffs.)

now busy with the opening of our new outlet at SMU (Ice Cold B's SMU)....... got stories to tell...

c'ya soon!!

It's the 8th of March, a day celebrating Women all over the world. Yes guys, its INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY.



To all the Wonder Woman, today is the day you're celebrated more than your birthday, valentine's day or wedding day. Today you are celebrated for being the woman that you are .... regardless of race languange, religion or SIZES.

We know we can't live with or without you. And we also don't know if we should be with or without you. Rejoice yourself in a world of your own.


Without women
Today a daughter and a princess
Tomorrow a mother or a mistress
Up! Up! Up! Women Stop!
Stop! Stop! Women
Perhaps true, perhaps true
Women are amazing creatures
Moulded with dazzling features
Women are an object of mystery
Have their own place in history
Women are great
They make the best dates
Except when they turn up very late

Without women
What will become of us?
No more noises on the bus
No one to make all the fuss
Without women
What will become of men?
Who will teach them,
How to behave and learn?
Women are the spicy ingredient of romance
Women are the juicy parent of importance
Women are a heavenly treasure
The epitome of human pleasure

Up! Up! Up! Women
Stop! Stop! Stop! Women
Perhaps true, perhaps true

Without women
Would this earth have survived?
Without women
Imagine how many will feel deprived
Women are simply delicious
Beware they can be serious
Especially when suspicious
And turn to Mrs Vicious

Women are priceless
Without women Life will be without spice
Simply lifeless

to those who felt the tremors, i share your shock and 'terror-fiedness' (just made up the word). do remember that we can be 'taken' back any moment. When it really happen, status and wealth will be deemed useless. Only love and kindness towards mankind alike, be measured between the thin lines of ..........!
Is it coming to an end? or, its just a wake up call?
as far as I'm concern, no one wants to be waken up in devastation. Therefore,
IT IS COMING TO AN END!!

to all the people who are involved in the crash, direct or indirectly,
I share your loss and emphatize with your misfortune.
Today, the sun may not be shining on you and your family. But, be thankful
that you're still alive, healthy and sane enough to read this blog or any other.
Be Thankful to the Almighty.
SYUKRAN!

This will be my final request for the week - STAY AWAY!!

I'm burning-out!! need no more stress from anybody, somebody and everybody. Thank you for your kind thoughts, BUT, please stay away!!

thank you, see u next week or so........

to anybody reading...... please pass this around.

I need DJs and Video Jockey/Technician for the outlets in my group. Please email to razak@emeraldhillgroup.com

ever wonder where Easter Eggs come from?

I didn't know that having too much orange in ur system can cause hallucinations... it's something like getting' high on weed or those other things (that we don't get to try here). I know u guys are hallucinating also... (saw something, right?)

The Lunar New Year not really over, people are still in the mood to gamble, merry-drinking and I'm still getting 'ang pows' from people I don't know. COOL!

Went to new year lunch yesterday with the bosses and the did the traditional things... Yu-sheng tossing, watching them eating the baby pig, slurping to frog's saliva, abalone and shark's fin soup.
I was told that these was how the royalties eat during ancient China. Damn......
Why would the emperor and their families would want to play with their food (tossing of Yu-Sheng), kill young animal and devour on the skin (the baby pig), wat does the frog's and swallow's saliva can do that is a delicacy? I thought eating shark's fin was illegal? or is it in other country?

Or..... is it another case of "WHATEVER MOVE WE EAT, WHATEVER RUN WE BET...!"

Every year, during this lunch thingy, i feel very special. I get to choose other types of food. something which I CAN eat. (they say the pork can eat, its HALAL. circumcised already. haha. Ang Moh also circumcised, but not many girls want them anymore - they prefer asian guys - ASIA BAGUS.) back to the food. I had prawns fried with salted egg yolk, crabmeat sambal fried rice, steamed garoupa and some other uninteresting stuff. Apart from the food, I get special treatment as I'm the only Malay/Muslim manager in the group. This year was a change as there were 2 other Malay/Muslim manager who attended the lunch.

All in all.... It was a good session for everyone. The commaradarie among the outlet managers were very good, and now they know when to 'kowtow' to THIS guy!

Now got wait for the 4D results....

*JAGUAR PAW*

*SLEEPING BEAR*

*6-FINGERED-DILDO*

The next few days will be tough for me and some of my staffs. Its sad that situation like this has to happen. I'm one of those people who doesn't know how to break bad news to close friends. Unfortunately, if I don't do it, my ass will be the next to go.

Once, a wise old man told me.... "don't employ people you can't sack." Well, I did. I've help them cover their asses all this while so they can help themselves, their family and god-know-who-else. Its quite sad also that people take their jobs for granted, knowing there are many others who are dying to have a job.

To me this is a "do-or-die' situation. Bad enough that I was given the ultimatum to decide on what's gonna happen in my circle.

Damn, shit happens. and this ain't my shit!!

Boys, if you're reading this.... get ur butt ready for some ass-whoping.

Time's up.... u gotta go.

Whoa!!!! hold on!! hold on...... this is not a porno site, nor a pervert's-haven. not even a butt-joke..... but......

This is proof that women in pageants are either dumb, dumber or dumb-butt. Especially, those blonde ones.... Regardless of race, language or religion......

KNN!!!!!! wtf!! son of a gun! muthaf*cka!! CBJ!!!

dunno come to club next time stay home!! CB!! ask to change music to faster speed.... ask u wat music?? answer - please change to RnB!! dat one call fast??!!! CB!!
get the f*ck out!!! want RnB go MoS la!! here no RnB!! here got big BABI!!! knn!!

kepala buto!!

Btw, I'll be downstairs at eM Bar..... Deep and Soulful all thru.

C'ya.

'Door-bitch' are common....... I prefer to have 'door-freak'. can double-up as bouncer!!

to all my lady friends....... don't worry so much about being slim or thin. Just eat wat u want, wear wat u like, and stop asking me questions whether you beatiful or not! You're still my friend!!

Happy Holidays!!

oh btw, if you guys are bored during the long weekends, come join me at Bikini Bar in Sentosa. We celebrating the arrival of their new mascot, MANKINI. See you guys there!!

MANKINI

To all who came for the 'intro' party at eM...... thank you very much! to those who paid the cover charge.... WTF??!! ya man!! wtf??!!

Thank you once again for all the feedback.... really appreciate it. I will try and make the necessary changes where possible. However, please understand that it's not Liquid Room anymore, and the club is not designed to match the former occupant.

Yukun and P@T was awesome. It was an honour to share the decks with such DJs. I hope to help them host their nights as and when the situation permits.



Being the first non-smoking club is a big challenge. But to see people getting to know one another at the smoking area was sweet.......

I got thrashed not from the drinks........ just got too tired from all the work and stress. trust me, you don't want to be in my shoes...... yet. An hour of prep talk from the directors really helped in putting back my confidence and spirits in the right place.

I was watching a documentary this morning about animals in captivity...... one prominent thing I realised is that, the animals actually eat better than most people in Africa, Sumatra, Iraq,.......
There was one part where the polar bear had peanut butter, watermelon, frozen salmon, and a whole tub of milk. To alot of the people in Uganda and other parts of remote Africa, those are luxury of life!! In fact, even in parts of Asia, people don't get such good food like the polar bear had.


Currently, there's a campaign called END Poverty. Its been showing on cable tv. They were talking about money spent for arms were far more than the amount for food support and other needs for UNICEF. and then, you'll see the politicians coming out and do the normal blah, blah, blah.....

The truth is.... is there any real truth in any of them?? are they really helping or just trying to get more votes??

Recently, in Singapore, we had a campaign run by some funny-looking people from NKF. its called "END THE PEOPLE IN POVERTY" - you see, this group of people take the effort of trying to end the life of people in poverty. The campaign was so successful that it had major coverage from all forms of media in Singapore. In fact, it made some people became very famous and reach celebrity status.

Another interesting campaign was the SPEAK MANDARIN campaign. Started years ago when I couldn't tie my own shoelaces. Now we know why the campaign........ so that its easier to communicate with the girls in Karaoke room!! - I'm impressed!! impress with our officials.....

good planning and great execution of plans.... it took 20 over years, but it worked like how they want it!!! Great lesson learned!! hats off everyone!!!

I know some of you blurr about this posting..... its ok. you don't have to be a star to be in my show,.... you don't have to be a genius to read this blog. but I think many of you are freakin' laughing your balls off!!

whatever you peeps read on the New Paper today...... don't believe every inch. lots of wrong reports!! Now I know why my bosses don't read New Paper except Straits Times!!

1. Its not called M Studio - its eM Studio
2. It is manage by Emerald Hill Group - not Gallery Hotel
3. I'm not Entertainment manager of M Studio - I'm THE Man for Emerald Hill Group, Concepts, Events, Entertainment and blah, blah, blah!
4. I'm not the DJ instructor - I'm the Course Coordinator......


damn it! there's too much discrepencies........ upset.....!!

aiyah!!!..... there's only 1 thing left to salvage this... you peeps come down tmw and you'll know what I mean!!

C'ya

Folks, we're opened!

February is just around the corner.. some say its the 'month of loveeeeee.....'

I overheard a friend talking today about what she expecting from her boyfriend. She was expecting a diamond ring and a proposal, or maybe, just a diamond ring. Then she goes all giggly about how romantic guys giving girls diamond ring, bracelet, bla, bla, bla.

Its sad that people are still ignorant about such things. how feeling works, and what its all about... how do you gauge a guy being romantic? .... arrr shut up girls!! now you say its not material things, flowers, chocs and all those gimmicks.... but the truth is you REALLY, REALLY want something.. right??!!

its ok..... we understand. we don't like it, but we understand.

oh btw..... I've got a friend doing a 'singles' party...... know wat I mean?? if you're up for it... e-mail me and I'll hook you up with them.

so, guys, you still getting the diamond ring/bracelet...??



remember this??

here's something for my buddy in China to think and find out....

IS IT TRUE THAT IN CHINA..... "ANYTHING MOVE, THEY EAT; ANYTHING RUN, THE BET!"

... you people brag so much about the government restricting pole-dancing and stuff.... now that its legalised... where were you??? another case of "all-talk-no-cock"??

for the whole of last year, I read over the forums, blogs, websites, .... hear complaints, dispairs, rants.... see hopeless souls sniggering.. all about the club/music scene in Singapore. People are bitching that the scene is 'cheesy', very-commercialised, posers, infested with Hip Pop and boring music. Actually, these complaints were mainly by DJs, musicians of the digital world and those who were 'hooked' on their visits to clubs in Europe.

I'm wondering what happens if such club really exist in Singapore... what are you people gonna do...?? bitch about the DJs?.. about the door-bitch?? bitch, bitch, bitch???

maybe, the reason why there isn't any such club here is because of people like YOU!!
ALL-TALK-NO-COCK!!

Now, since I've got your attention.... let me remind you again......

1. EM STUDIOS will open by next week...
2. its at Gallery Hotel, formerly known as Liquid Room (new owner, new management)
3. Please do not expect to listen to freaking Pussycat Dollah!! or any 50cent shit!!
4. No pole-dancing, no Mardi Gras girls, no RAIN-wannabe boys....
5. No Request 'coz its your 'whoever' birthday.
6. No dancing to lyrics from the songs (in fact, most tracks don't have anyone singing... bleh!)
7. No smoking in the club!!
8. Don't come if you don't like any of the above.

1.It's been 2 years since I last interviewed you when you first returned from the states. Can you tell us more about the latest dbl O compilation; 'dbl O pres The Tektile Movement Records'?

2. The first song by Xtac was a great opener. Is he a new artiste?

3. Another one by Yukun who's a familiar name for many. How's his like?

4. 3volve. How do you pronounce that and who is he?

5. You have 3 tracks on that album, the fantastic 'Lansing Solitude' (Self plug hee) , and two others. Can u tell us what 'The Kokyu Curse' and 'Memoirs of a Jewish Man' are about?

6. Can u tell me more about Razaq, I've been hearing about him.

7. What are your plans like after this album?

And the famous 'one liner for the station'I hope I sounded sensual enough....enuff.

1. I woke up hearing Tarzan howling in my ear... (it was my phone's alarm tone)

2. Couldn't get the motorbike working... found out that the piston jammed!! damnit!... that means $$$$$$$.....

3. Hop on a cab to Gallery hotel for a presentation with the group's EXCO. taxi driver asked me...."you must me a musician?" I asked why did he say that? He said my hair and my glasses made me look like a musician.... (Huh??!!).. - Uncle, so early in the morning u take subutex oredi, ar???

4. During the presentation, a mosquito bit my forehead. Now, it looks like I have a hickey right in the middle of the forehead... and it HURTS!! ITCHY AND PAIN!!

5. at 3pm, got call from Mom. she's in the A&E with my sister. Lil' sis was sent to hospital, suspected of kidney infection!! damn!! I hope its just an infection. Now, she's warded and this big brother got to this and that and this and that...bla bla bla.

6. at 6pm, went to Gary Callicott's farewell party. He introduced to me his friend from LA, a music producer, DJ and sound engineer, who has worked with Seal, Bryan Adams, bla bla bla... now he wants to shift to Singapore and do the same thing...and expect to earn the same amount of money???!!! siao ang moh!!

7. A girl (whom I don't know - and looks lke super ah lian) came to the console and commented about the Tektile CD. (she got it from buying the Carlsberg bucket promo) She said the music was cool.... and .... she said "the 4th track is nice, but would be better if got someone sing. It sounds like Retro music."... wtf!! I realised that it was Yukun's track!! I was so amazed at how ignorant some people are. at the same time, it was funny...hahahahahahhahahaha
Yukun would slap himself if he was there lisening to the girl!!!

8. Left the club at 11.30pm, went down to carpark and freakout!! I thought someone stole my bike. Realised it's dead, left in the carpark at the apt... Someone just told me .. Go get a car!!

The Guys' Rules­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down
Finally , the guys' side of the story.
( I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear
"the rules "
From the female side.
Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered "1"
ON PURPOSE!

1. Men are NOT mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport.
And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem.
See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are
Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

1. You can either ask us to do something
Or tell us how you want it done.
Not both.
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong.
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as SEX, MUSIC, the shotgun formation,
or SOCCER.


1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;


But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

But again, camping doesn't last more than 3 days........

Yesterday was a very exciting day......NOT!!!!!!!!!

I had my wish granted yesterday.... stayed home, no calls, didn't shower, had food delivered,lay in bed all day and caught the flu bug. unfortunately, its been awhile since I last did that... but when it really happen, I didn't enjoy it at all. Actually, I did enjoy some of it until the clock stikes midnight.

I got so restless and bored that I felt like I was prisoned in my own room. TV shows were crappy and I've runned out of good DVDs to watch. I tried watching other movies but it didn't help. Doze off every 3 minutes.

I even tried watching Pamela Anderson 'playing' with herself..... it didn't help. Not that it was boring... I didn't have the dvd... ;)

Stayed up till 6am.... switched on the tv, watch the National Anthem played on tv... and guess wat???

I fell asleep!!

..phew!! what a day!

I was watching a TV show the other day about how local guys propose to their girlfriendS. It showed the guy would bring the girl to dinner and asked if she would like to apply a HDB flat together......??? I thought it was funny.... true and funny. Some guys that I know would just say, "my parents want meet up with your family.." - well that's what some Malay guys do...

So far, I haven't hear or see any of my friends go down on their knees yet.(I they go down, but not on their knees..) Yea, of course it's more of the western culture to do that, but, is it really romantic to do that...? Most of the girls I talk to would want their boyfriends to propose in a very romantic way... go down on the knees, on the big screen, over the loudspeakers... bla, bla, bla,bla.....

has anybody tried listening to the guys how they prefer to propose...??

A guy is either romantic or not.... if he has a girlfriend, some way or another, he IS romantic. But most freaking rich guys are romantic, not by their actions, but something else...

I think I'm not romantic.... that's why I'm still stuck with work, lives with mommy, and sleeps alone on a mattress. I'm not worried whether I'm gonna be romantic or not... I'm more bothered about all the wars that's gonna happen this year.

mark my words, there's gonna be lots of political unrest everywhere in the world this year!!

till then, GIVE PEACE A CHANCE AND START LEARNING TO BE ROMANTIC....!!

Rockstar Soup-A-Nova



....you don't have to be a star, baby.... to be in my show...

i got a feeling I'm gonna crack soon..... seriously.. I will!! unless, I get some 'crack'.... know what I mean....??

damn it.... its just the 2nd week of the new year. but the work load seems like it never moved since 2 years ago. I got 9 days of leaves forfeited due to not being able to use it. Not that I didn't want to.... I can't!! everytime I wanted to go away, something comes up.... some 'big' event shit... or some anniversary shit. I've been advise to clear my leaves right after the new year... guess wat..?? "New outlet opening.... you need to be around... and this outlet is your 'baby'....!"

In the middle of all this, I've got smart people around me telling me that I need a holiday. Of course I need a holiday!! and, I need money for the holiday!! give me the time and money... I'll go for a holiday... and if you're cool.... I might just bring you along!! damn it!!

Its been 6 months since my 'real' off day. 'real' off day means you don't think about work, no calls from work or people from work, no girlfriend or boyfriend bugging you to 'chat', etc. OFF DAY means, you switch off you brain, your phone, lay in bed all day with the TV/DVD. It helps better if you don't shower the whole day.

You guys at work who keep saying I should go back and rest, take a break, you look stress,.... bla bla bla..... stop it you morons!! you don't need to tell me that I looked stress!! I know!



some people talk shit when they're drunk, some eat shit when they're drunk. like me... I talk shit all the time.... and I'll let someone eat my 'shit'!!

Yukun's right!! we gonna be big this year.... I know I will.... MY FARKING STOMACH GONNA BE BIG!!

p.S. I'll be talking 'shit' the whole week....STAY AWAY!!

I was told that its a DOG-EAT-DOG world....... to succeed, sometimes one have to 'eat' its own kind. Is it really necessary?.... There's alot out there will say 'yes'..... I would understand why......

These few months, I experienced another term called CAT-F*CK-CAT!!




.... its just a tag I use to describe people whom always think that our kindness were meant to destroy them. a lot of times, I tried sharing my 'bits' of success with close ones..... but everytime, its being taken wrongly. A lot of times i tried pulling those behind/below, to come walk by side.... but everytime they think I'm trying to put them in danger......??

and the worst thing.... when I'm up there all alone..... they say I changed and tried to F*ck them up......

WTF!!!!!!!

I've got a weird feeling abt this year.... u see, I was born in the year of the PIG. I've got Chinese uncle and aunties telling me it's my year... I'm not superstitious or anything but.... if it's really true.... does it really worth anything....?? Is it really worth being 'up there' alone...?

A close friend said that I'm gonna be 'big' this year.... his feng shui master told him that.... what's big..?? my head or my balls...? how abt my bank account....??

quietly, we passed the 1st week of Jan.... nothing seems right for me.... but need to keep pushing and pushing..... for those who think my deeds are for something negative, that's up to u.... when I get back to my senses, I'll just leave you rotting 'down' there......

in the meantime, to all the backstabbers..... are you dying yet...??????

I was having lunch the other day at this japanese restaurant (not sakae sushi)in Great World City. Nothing fancy, just normal restaurant with decent sushi and other nippon delights. there's nothing wrong with the food service. It's just that I had a family sitting next table which really amazes me.

You see, this family next to me looks well to do. speaks excellent english, branded clothes and carried themselves well. What i didn't understand was, when its about time to order, Mommy took out a coupon for a free plate of sushi and asked to exchange with a set meal which cost double the coupon. In fact, she was bargaining with the waitress to give her a good deal. wtf!! the whole family's meal would not cost more than $50... and there she was trying to bargain for a meal with the waitress. the whole thing went on for more than 10 mins before the waitress came back with more ice water and another set of menu.......

damn!!! they look so nice, so 'affordable', so sophistacated...... yet so bloody stingy....? or maybe they just trying to be so bloody clever... in fact.... most rich people got rich b'coz they know how to make use of such things.....

but.....!!!

bringing your family to lunch using coupons...????? c'mon MOM!!!! your kids deserve better!!!!! daddy's wearing a Rolex watch (or is it Bolex).... saturday afternn eat at Japenese restaurant with coupons??

on the other hand, I could have own a Lambo if I do dat more often..... keep the black card at home and just use coupons.....
