The Sky Is The Limit!

Got this from a facebook application. OMG Lit? I'm almost antonymous to Literature. The only thing I can brag about Lit is when I got Best in Lit in Secondary 2. Pui that was a long essay of bullshit on my part. And the tutors bought that!

And if anyone asks me what my favourite color is now, it shall be AUBERGINE! Sounds cheem right? It is actually the color of eggplant. What do you mean you don't know what color eggplant is?!!!

Anyway the rest looks pretty exact for me. I'm not very chivalrous but I think I am bold. Don't know whether or not that is a strength. Well I guess it can be in certain situations.

Speaking of birthdays, I think this year's will be a quiet one, and that's if my visa is approved. Coincidentally, the two friends whom I am going to NY with are also celebrating their birthdays during that period of time. It will be the first time I celebrate the birthday sans the family and friends (second time overseas), so I think it's going to be a little weird. I guess I'll be fine since Dilah is dropping by NY on her vacation to Canada to pass me my birthday brownie/cheesecake/tiramisu, right Dilah? Say yes. :D

For those who might want me to receive their well-wishes in the form of presents, well fret not cos I'm merely a few continents and a water body away. My address in NY will be revealed when I confirm my Visa.

On another WAT note, Ms Wong is coming home from the States on the same day I fly off.


That's like how sad.

Ok now not sad already. A while ago on MSN, Ms Wong has ordered me to buy back her bday present from States. Why so BYL one? And now she wants me to buy VS lingerie for her! Sexy and slutty where got different one?!

Hahahahaha.

p/s: My spelling is getting from bad to worse. I mispelt antonymous and chivalrous and somehow I knew they were not spelt correctly, so I had to refer to dictionary.com for help. What has engineering done to me??????

Talking cock buddy

I had an absolutely funny dream last night.



I dreamt that Mr. Zhou came by my house for lunch and dinner.

I swear I didn't know Mr. Zhou was a good talking cock buddy. At least in my dream, he was.

I shall wear his cap out again!

Hand in Hand

It is by far the most humbling clip I've ever watched.

And we cry when one pathetic toenail drops off.

Wedding talk

I followed my parents to my dad's cousin's son's (what does that make him? My double cousin) wedding today. My parents won't be able to make it tomorrow so we went today instead. The food was pretty good for a pre-wedding night although the prawns weren't as large as those at the wedding I went a few weeks back.

Strangely, when I was younger, I hated tagging my parents to weddings because it'd be the same ol' boring shit every single time - eat, chat and ciao. But somehow recently I have developed this growing liking for these kinda occasions, and my mom has since asked me to accompany her.

The first thing anyone who saw me today did was ask my parents: "Who is this? -inserts Big Bro's name-?" And after I was formally introduced, the second thing was "Oh my he resembles -insert's dad's name/nickname- alot!" I think this was the first time I actually met my father's cousins and their kids (and also remember their names and faces) so I was also having so many questions in my head asking me who's this lady who's that man who's that kid yadda yadda yadda. Quite interesting if you ask me.

The worst part of today came in the form of boring adult convos. My dad was talking to his aunt while my mom was chatting with my dad's cousin's wife. And I was in between, doing nothing but eat, eat and eat. And listen to boring adult convos. It gives me goosebumps now though thinking about how I will also end up being a boring adult chatting boring convos 20 years down the road. Damn.

YOG

I visited the Padang the day the Youth Olympic Committee announced the results from Switzerland. It was an overwhelming sight. I have never seen SO MANY ENTHUSIASTIC UNIFORMED MINORS before in my entire life. Some were carrying banners and shouting their voices hoarse, others left their bags on the roads in the middle of nowhere and jumped around like our friends from the zoo and the craziest ones came in greek costumes.

The moment to remember was the time when the old fogey announced the results. The jubilant crowd of minors became even wilder.

The sea of red plus the singing of "Stand up for Singapore" right after the results were announced made me feel like it was 9th August.



Even Angmohs were cheering!!!

Anyways, I am positive that the Singapore team was confident enough to win, else they won't organise such a big countdown celebration to the results. And invite PM summore. Or perhaps they knew the results before the rest of us, I dunno.

In any case, having the YOG here will be good since there'll be an influx of hot sportsbabes from all around the world (albeit minors). Summore 2010 is the year I graduate *cough cough* so it's time to enjoy!!!

And then find a wife. An angmoh wife would be nice!

Karma of the karma

I went for my Visa application interview today at the US Amber C (This was what my friend spelt it as when he texted me in the morning, so hilarious!) and at first glance, with the high stone walls and the sharp metallic fences surrounding the main building, it looked like some sort of an impregnable fortress to me. Like you know, those stone structure they call it Academy from Age of Empires? Imagine that life size.

At second glance, however, the magnificence dropped rockbottom. That was when I was rudely shoo-ed away by this idiotic security guard who told me to wait at a super degrading tentage outside the Amber C.

Surprisingly, my batch of intervieews needn't wait as long as the previous batches, so when I finally crossed the gate, I thought my ordeal was over until... they confiscated my phone. My friend who went last week have already alerted me about this, so knowing I'd be bored to death without my only form of entertainment during the long wait, I brought with me something to read. But the fact that my poor bag was ripped apart and my phone was taken away from me made me feel... naked. I don't know why so.

I spent the next half an hour overhearing the conversations between applicants and the consul and it's really not because I wanted to, but because it was pretty loud and I couldn't help it since I was sitting at the front row of seats.

One funny conversation:

Angmoh: Ms Wong S*** Ling (I know her full name but I am censoring it scully she come my blog and sue me how????)
WSL: Yes. *hurries to counter*
Angmoh: Hello. Do you have any relatives there?
WSL: Yes. My fiance is a citizen there working at XYZ Company.
Angmoh: Oh I see. How did you and your fiance meet?
WSL: Through online.
Angmoh: What website?
WSL: A website.
Angmoh: Yes I know, but which?
WSL: match.com (At this point I wanted to laugh! I was never a believer of online dating)
Angmoh: Yes okay. So you know match.com requires you to put up your ad right? Who put the ad up, you or him?
WSL: I did.
Angmoh: Why???!! Not enough local guys for you to xian is it? Must go overseas?
WSL: ...
Me (aloud): WAH ANGMOH CAN SPEAK HOKKIEN AH. *followed by loud applause from everyone else*
Angmoh: You stupid boy. Shut up and wait for you turn. Don't chap one leg in!
Me: Wah you which part buey song? Is it your big nose? or the neverending wrinkles? Or even your shiny head?
Angmoh: GARRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! *screams like a antagonistic fairy tale dragon with fire breath trapped in a castle*

Yes I'm picturing the Dragon from Shrek.

Anyway, the story is true till she claimed that the ad was put up by her.

Continuing the story...

Angmoh: When did you first know him?
WSL: Two Jilo Jilo One, January. No, April.
Angmoh. Okay... April 2001. So when did you see him personally?
WSL: Two Jilo Jilo Four.
Angmoh: Speaking of which, you guys have dated for 7 years? Wow. Have you been to the States?
WSL: Yes. One time in Two Jilo Jilo Four, another in Two Jilo Jilo Five, once in Two Jilo Jilo Sick, and once in Two Jilo Jilo Seven.
Angmoh: I see, so what are your fiance's hobbies?
WSL: Floor-rolling.
Surprised Angmoh: OH REALLLYYYYYY!!!!

At this point, I was really trying to contain my laughter inside. But come to think of it, I am sure she meant something else but pronounced it wrongly, judging from her nonchalant response to the Angmoh's ultra big reaction.

You know, all along I only thought that my friend was weird in a unique way but following this incident I've come to realise those pple with surname Wong and last name Ling all behave in same peculiar way. :)

...

My turn came a few minutes later.

The angmoh lady looked at me and told me the photo she has did not resemble me at all even though it was taken a few weeks back, and I was asked to take off my specs. Even then she said I didn't look like the person in the photograph.

Whatever.

After n=∞ enquiries about my family background, she handed me a very bright yellow piece of paper, now affectionately called "THE GOLDEN TICKET" by my peers in school.

I was about to scream "YEAY I AM GOING TO HOLLYWOOD BAYBEH!!!!!" ala American Idol when...

she burst my bubble and said, "Your visa is pending because you need further clearances."

*presses buzzer n=∞ times*

Karma by Alicia Keys sounds appropriate to be on repeat mode on my winamp right now.

Beastly in bed

Ms Wong thinks Edison's secret ambition is making p*rn.

I can't help but agree.

My love is bleeding for you Leona

She gave me goosebumps from 02:54 onwards.

She is awesome. So so SO awesome. And plus she's really pretty here.

And how often do we get to see a totally different side of Simon Cowell who claps, gives compliments, does a standing ovation and SMILES throughout a performance?


Very drama. He owned the stage.

Her contender is just as good! More so since he's singing my favourite classic. Leona is my age, and Ray is 3 years younger than her. Just wtf am I doing here watching their clips and achieving nothing?

Don't add PETROL to the fire!

"This will cause an explosion, my frienddd"


I'm severely traumatised.

The last part is especially... revolting.

More videos. Somehow I wish he'd leave out "I'm from Singapore" after introducing his name. It's disgraceful to us Singaporeans.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYBnsxV6yes <-- Machiam his opinion matters a lot like that.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPH0960Oxtc&eurl=http://stevenlim.net/ <-- "Cuuccckooo cuccckooo!!!"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiVtyhDFp3I&eurl=http://stevenlim.net/ <-- No wonder the girl (or guy) gave your heart away.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc1T7AiokYw&eurl=http://stevenlim.net/ <-- Just disturbing. Very.

Z for ...

Zoo
To dream that you are at a zoo, symbolizes loss of freedom and your abilities and talents go unnoticed. You or an aspect of your life feels caged in.

The zoo may also represent chaos and confusion as implied by the common phrase "this place is a zoo!" You may need to tidy up some situation in your life.

1. If the animals were happy, then dreaming of a zoo portends travels in distant places. If children were with you, whatever you want to accomplish in those places will be successful.

2. If the animals were upset or agitated, then your view of the world is a bit jaded right now. You're viewing the world as a crazy, violent place, where no one is safe - as in the metaphor, "this place is a zoo."

Animals
To see animals in your dream, represents your own physical characteristic, primitive desires, and sexual nature, depending on the qualities of the particular animal. Animals symbolize the untamed and uncivilized aspects of your self. Thus, to dream that you are fighting with an animal signifies a hidden part of yourself that you are trying to reject and push back into your subconscious. Refer to the specific animal in your dream.

Spiders
To see a spider in your dream, indicates that you are feeling like an outsider in some situation. Or that you may want to keep your distance and stay away from an alluring and tempting situation. To see a spider climbing up a wall in your dream, denotes that your desires will be soon being realized.

Dinosaur
To see a dinosaur in your dream, symbolizes an outdated attitude. You may need to discard your old ways of thinking and habits. To dream that you are being chased by a dinosaur, indicates your fears of no longer being needed or useful. Alternatively, being chased by a dinosaur, may reflect old issues that are still coming back to haunt you.

Lion
To see a lion in your dream, symbolizes great strength, aggression and power. You will overcome your emotions and/or difficulties. As king of the jungle, the lion also represents royalty, leadership, pride and dominion. You have much influence over others. You may also need to exercise restraint in your own personal and social life.

C for ...

From one website:

Cockroaches
To see cockroaches in your dream, signifies your need for renewal, rejuvenation and self-cleansing of your psychological, emotional, or spiritual being. You need to re-evaluate major aspects of your life.

Roaches
To see roaches in your dream, represents an undesirable aspect of yourself in which you need to confront. Alternatively, it may be a pun for smoking marijuana. On a positive note, roaches may also be symbolic of tenacity and longevity.

From another website:

Ants, spiders and cockroaches, particularly when they appear in larger numbers or even stream out of a cupboard or the kitchen cooker, are danger signals of the highest order.

From yet another website:

Cockroaches
Seeing and at times just thinking about cockroaches makes a person feel squeamish and repulsed. When dreaming about these dreaded insects, the unconscious mind may be hinting to the dreamer that he needs to reevaluate and reassess a major part of his life. There is never just one roach; thus, the areas of life that need cleansing and renewal may be deep and wide. The negativity or contamination that is represented by the roaches may affect a great deal of your life. Thus, this may be a call to clean your psychological, emotional, and spiritual self. (Also, examine your motives!) On a less dramatic note, cockroaches in our dreams may be associated with food and uncleanliness, so don't leave the dishes for tomorrow!

A call to clean my psychological, emotional, spiritual self. Hmm.

I was out at town today and this was what I saw.


Far East at 7PM on CNY eve.

Nevermind the shops were all closed for the day. Nevermind there were no girls to beo at. Nevermind the streets of town were as dead as dead can be. I was actually loving the stillness of it. No noisy shoppers with crazy shopping lists, no young punks with terrible fashion sense, no loud ah beng music emanating from ah beng handphones. It was just me and Dil walking, and I almost felt I owned the streets.

This CNY, I want to be a good boy. I want to finish up studying for my test next week! (Yes, bah to stupid lecturers who plan quizzes a week after CNY and a day after Vday) I figure this will be a good time to catch up on my academics since the rest of the ching chongs will be busy basking themselves in the CNY festive mood.

This CNY, while we're all BaiNian-ing, let's not forget those people who are unable to celebrate this joyous occasion as much as we do, shall we? Hence, this post is also dedicated to all these people, including bus drivers, security people, law enforcers etc. The list is not exhaustive, I'm sure a lot more people have to work during this period.

Lastly, this post especially goes out to non-ching chongs doing COS duty everywhere on the island. Believe me, I know how it feels like. It sucks to be doing duty on a public holiday, but if it were an extra, then I think you deserve it.
