Oldies Sometimes Are Better

I personally like songs with stories in them. (e.g Love Me, Coward of the County, etc)However, I listen to any song of any genre as long as it appeals to me in one way or another. :) I'm a generalist I suppose. :)
With all the flood of new songs these days, sometimes the most evoking songs are the oldies.. the ones that stick to your head somehow.

Coward Of The County


The Gambler


The Minute You're Gone.



Lightning Express

Yum Cha



















Yesterday went Yum cha buffet at Chinatown after catching a show(GetSmart, real funny show) at Plaza Singapura. Took the above picture of a building nearby :) Anywayz the food at yum cha was rather good especially the mango prawn roll. I took a picture but did not upload cos it appeared blurry. But the food looked and tasted really good and was filling :). The total cost for 3 person is $59.70 if i remember right :) but it was rather worth it as we had alot to eat. Will be looking forward to the next trip there ha.

Saw this quote on mIRC and found it interesting lol

*quote with edited spelling*

I always, out of pure stupidity (and resist to learn the most
important lesson in life), put 101% in every relationship that
I get into.

I tell myself time and again that I need to
reserve 20% and only put in 80% in any relationship, so that I
can rebounce back into perfect shape with that 20%.

But my emotional self refuses to listen to my inner thoughts. I still
offer a 100%. and I think I will continue to offer that. Nah,

I'll offer 99%. 1% to remain alive to start munching on alcohol.
*end quote*

Hit The Road Jack by that kid again



The more I watch him play the more demoralized I get -_-..

Winning Friends

Ideally I fully agree with the post in this webbie..
http://winningeveryone.com/friendship/friends-how-to-win-friends-and-influence-them/#comment-270

Especially the winning friends section where it talks about the hows? Its what I actually look for in friendship (which I'm grateful to say I have some from NS and few leftover from Poly Days) though I myself have at times (maybe more than afew :p) strayed from the path. Heard some people say before in my lifetime, that friends has no responsibility to one another be it to help or getting one another to do stuff, its just a word to show I know this person.. I disagree.. to me.. friendship is about being there to help one another be it physically or mentally wherever or whenever possible. But it's true, forcing another friend to do stuff is not good but one can always request.

Why call the other person a friend, when your mindset would be.. I have no obligation to help this or that friend and so I won't.

And it's also true that its really frustrating when people ignore your smses, emails, or messages, especially when theres something u wanna know or need, this can also include people ignoring u when u try to join in their conversations by not even giving you a single response.
Imagine you're waiting for your friend who's already 20-30 minutes late to arrive and you want to know if u should wait for him/her, or just walk around first, or did he change his/her mind about going, and he/she dun reply at all.
Or when a question is asked or a request is made.

People often complain they are being ignored, and yet they too ignore other people, maybe intentionally, maybe not, who knows right? But ignoring other's is not nice.. imagine being one of the small minority who's been ignored in a group outing, at times frustrating but more often its sad.

*quote from website mentioned above*It is also very important to show respect for the other person’s opinions. Even if you think his or her idea is bad, do not object strongly but recommend your friend with a better idea.*End Quote*

Its true.. many times during project discussions we tend to just object strongly to ideas given by each other without a thought to how they feel, often it's because it does not match what we ourselves have in mind. They may feel its a great idea and to be put down in a strong manner, would only encourage them to decide to not contribute further, preventing ideas which would have greatly improved the project, to be stuffed into the back of the person's head.

OMG!! How does he play like this...

Cannon In D


I'll prob never to get to such standard haha

Rantings..

*********************************************
***Its Long.. As I said in previous post..*****
****If You Find It Long, Dun Read, No Ones Forcing U To.****
********************************************************

This world is a really funny place.. u conform to others people say ur not u.. and yet.. u be you.. they try to conform u.. its feels like we're like a talking acting robot with dynamic list for choosing different profiles to use with different people so we can fit in...which is something I once heard someone in army say..

I miss the NS days in unit where everyone can just be or act whoever they wanna be and not be outcasted for being ourselves or acting to fit others.. cos we've all got a long way to go together. There were many tired times.. and even yet more memorable times be it good or bad.
This is also the time where one can just let the brain rot and just do whatever is planned for the day even if it's drop dead boring.
I also miss the many dumb things we did.. watching movies all night and waking drop dead tired haha.

Change is all around, change is good..
but change is often misunderstood.
Change has to be gradual not forced at an instant.
Change is to be taking things one at a time and get used to it..
and eventually living it.
Change which is forced upon one self too quickly is nothing more than an act cos humans seldom adapt to new lifestyles so fast and they end up rigid cos they're forcing the part.
Change in environment is nice once in awhile,
but too fast too often would be culture shock.
Change does not always provide a different response..
Some changes still have the same old problem.
Sometimes change is a tough Pill to swallow as it might mean losing something rather than gaining.
Still life goes on even though u dun want it to, adding more and more tough pills for u to swallow

Like the story of where the rail road conductor lowered the raised tracks across the river and crushed his own son just so the train load of hundreds won't die instead..
some changes will be painful.. but necessary as it might mean losing something FOREVER!.
Some changes are intentional.. some are not.. but both intentional or unintentional changes can lead to unforseen circumstances which my cause gladness or heartache though with unforseen circumstances.. its often heartache.

Anywayz more videos.. Think i'll post at least a video a week. For now.. With Or Without You.

Long Time No Post..

********************Verbal Vomiting*******************
*****If u find it long. Dun Read. No one's forcing u to.****
******************************************************

Exams over but I dun feel the Thrill of getting past the last exam...
Feels rather depressed instead ha.

Murphy's law.. Anything that can go wrong.. will go wrong...
As such.. I hate the way things never seems to go the way I planned.. be it last minute or after a month of planning.

SIGH...

Just realised how very small my circle of friends are today. I mean I knew it was small all along.. but not this small..
Ain't it amazing how this world works.. close friends become hi bye friends and hi bye friends become close friends.. and it often rotates around and around.. and at times friends become enemies and enemies become friends..

Its true that one never knows what one's got until its gone.. I mean like I used to go out weekly with some friends and just hang out and enjoy and do things together (play pool, go arcade, catch a movie, eat and chat, or something).. There are many more things I wish we had done then.. but never got the chance for one reason or the other...

But now... some close friends become alienated, some get pissed and breaks off the friendship just cos of something u said at one time or another, some with their significant others, some turn to enemies, some just plainly ignores u, some just wanna use u, some just treat u like ur not there, some keep ignoring your smses or MSN messages or phone calls, some are like a one way mirror.. they can talk to u but u can't talk to them, cos they can't receive or plainly disregard anything u say, or try to turn anything u say back against u.. that sorta thing, some say they're ur friends, but treats you like their enemies..
So.. yeah I suppose u get my drift..

And thus, these weekends are often spent just wandering around shopping centers alone looking for anything that "might" interest me to pass the time..

One interesting observation though, its often the seldom seen friends who will often try to pick you up when u're down.. rather than the closer ones (whom a high percentage of which only contact or talk to u when they need something or has something to gain).

Perhaps its cos of the closeness that they get desensitized to your feelings. I find that close friends other then a special few, has ever messaged me or called me just for a casual chat, its always nid this info or do this or whatever...

I've lost many friends over the years..and are losing more still with each passing day.. It hurtz to lose friends.. but often I realise.. it only hurtz to me and the friends lost seems to be unaffected.

A Million Thanks to those who have tried to raise my moods when I'm feeling low. Though many have failed.. Thank you anywayz :)

Final Words.. I Wish The Old Days Would Come Back Where We Can All Go Out As Normal And Any Animosity Between Us, If Any, Be Forgotten. So We All Can Talk Normally Without Ending At Just 2 Sentences Each.

Anywayz heres some drinks that I've had the past few unblogged weeks. Had some alcoholic chocolates... but forgot to take their pictures >.<..




Kool t is a nice drink :) But cruiser is better :)







































Vodka Cruiser is a nice drink which does not have a very strong aftertaste.. the fruity flavour is nice on the tastebuds too :)
