20 December [More And More]

Hello there,

It has been a considerable break for me, from blogging, and from the jog trot of all other nitty grittes of the world. Of course, the break is very much appreciated, on my part, albeit excessively squander-ish. It hurts me so much to even think how close school is starting.

I love my freedom, thank you very much.

Well, for the past few days, my new found obsession of Rappelz has taken away hours, in days and nights. In return giving me a fair share of short sightedness. I’m getting sick of the game though. The constant on-quests-to-hunt-for-monsters-to-gain-levels is such a quintessential element of modern MMORPG games, it is difficult to ascertain which game is actually worth the days and nights.

In such, I can’t help but find all of my gaming obsessions short-lived; I can’t even be bothered get past the level 25 hurdle in the game. The time and effort needed to level up far outweighs any satisfaction gained when you finally see the small increase. The Decreasing Returns To Scale of this process makes levelling up in MMORPGS an onerous task.

Yes, I’m a noob gamer.

Had a good walk around Orchard just now. I must say the lack of exercise is apparent from the immediate lethargy felt after walking for, say, 2hours. Lethargy meaning being  sian or simply shagged; not energetic and bubbly.

Christmas decorations around the area are really disappointing, being substandard as best, compared to previous years. The best decoration would be the lighted makeshift-shophouse just outside Tangs. Carollings were so obviously pre-recorded and the only decent performance was by the band, who kept taking breaks after singing a few songs that each ended after 4-5 sentences. I don’t even know what they are doing, but at least they sound good, whatever they are doing.

And there was a hot ‘angel couple’ in Mont Blanc giving out candies, I supposed, to people who ventured in. The female has a gorgeous face and the guy has freaking long legs, which I feel should be mine. Plus, we saw this pair of parents who made their daughter ‘face the wall’ at Taka; talk about embarrassment on the kids part.

Those who were with me just now probably has enough of what I’m going to say next but I’ll continue here anyway. The westerners in Singapore have grown to such a shockingly large number. There is practically a western family everywhere I turn in Fareast, either a fully western, or an asian-western family, with freakishly cute mixed(or not) kids.

10 years down the road, you’ll probably see loads of western kids going to normal schools, unlike their congregation in the International School now.


10 October

Sometimes, I wished I was in private school… With boarding house,

You know, those really fun kind where student uniforms are preppy to the max and where students have really cool dorm rooms. Having a great roommate is essential as well. I think having an educational life like this leaves minimal to be asked for.

Then again, Private Schools in Singapore are less than desirable.

But still, having overseas education (in western countries) may prove far more feasible, relative in context to the private school. Singapore is not bad, seriously, it’s just overly rigid. I wished we could compact modules and up our credits like US high schools- I mean, I can totally graduate earlier by compacting my modules and taking some in advance during the semester breaks.

You know, I don’t really hate studying, or rather reading, as much as I claimed I do. I mean, reading is JOY. Absolutely…If you can find appropriate materials; and by appropriate I don’t mean shallow ink-stained-pulp-pressed comics or magazines. I’m referring to novels with substiantial plot and captivating openings (Yes, character names, plot venues and book covers DO matter. Shallow, but affects my mood). I’m referring to non-fiction books with lucid writings. It keeps boredoom at bay admist the long cold holiday nights.

By reading, it dawned on me how superficial I could be.

I listen on the surface; I don’t try to detect for any well-coated undercurrents in conversations; I merely listen and occasionally note sarcasm staring at my face. I rarely (can’t) read body language nor notice subtle signs.

Or perhaps I’m just dense.

A blathering canister.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have the intention to self depreciate. I just need contents to lengthen this post, and maybe gain some wisdom.

I guess life is all about creating yourself; not finding yourself.


6 September

Isn’t the lunar 7th month over?

Why are 歌台s still so dominant in my area?? Gosh, and the thing is that they’re singing all the hokkien songs from the 4.30pm channel U drama - 意难忘.. You know, the one which typical auntie moms and uncle dads will camp in front of the telly for? Then again, it is another of those common scenes found exclusively in the East. I LOVE THE EAST OF SINGAPORE.. Otherwise i still prefer the west of the globe, where are the whites are.. heyhey don’t blame me for being 崇洋媚外.. :D Actually, I kinda like the East too, mainly Singapore, Korea and Japan. NO OFFENSE YO!

I’m still very intrigued by the western-looking Indians that would appear in Vasatham(How do we spell that) Central. I mean, they look kinda mixed and westernish.. Hot, I would say.. But still not my cup of chocolate… :D INSINUATIONS…


20 August [Another not-so-subtle hint]

WHY IS SEPTEMBER WENBIN’S FAVORITE MONTH OF THE YEAR? No prizes for correct guesses.
Oh, have i mentioned that other than THREE , SEVEN (7) is one of my best-liked numbers?


Yes,I shamelessly admit that I am shameless (and aggressive and low) when it comes to my favorite DAY of the year. I hint (not so subtly), plea sincerely, beg desperately , demand , insist, guilt passive-aggressively… Anyway , cease the bullshits-that you don’t do that too…  I’m sure you just employ the ‘hinting‘ technique less effectively (such that the message is not sent across at all.), that’s all. :D

All Anglicans, be thankful for you have escaped my wrath… But not for long.. Sinister smile.

Till then, i shall continue my incessant pleas[Read:Bugging] …
Word of advise, get your fly swatters.

Theo had made a very good point just now,
Did you notice the increasing number of westerners in the trains this year as compared to last year?
A very good point indeed. Yes I have noticed but no, I did not think anything much of that… Well, maybe except for the occasional glucose injection it provides for my deprived eyes. True isn’t it? That there seems to be an increasing number of westerners in the train vis-a-vis last year , not that I’m complaining.. Singapore Tourism Board and Immigration Board are doing a very good job, perhaps they should have a joint project. :D

It’s really interesting to watch how they react to Singaporeans’ mannerisms. Some are pretty much indifferent, while others seem appalled or are seemingly disgusted. Occasionally, we would see an impressed westerner when someone offered his/her seat to older folks – the rarity, is to be noted…

Is it me, or is it… Forget it, I think it’s just me. I got this really weird mentality that westerners are naturally better-looking. Although my cerebral hemispheres (and all of my sanity) are telling me ” This westerner is not living up to HALF of his/her visual potential ” , my cerebellum,cognitive attitude and other parts of the brain are screaming,” FREAK! A freaking westerner! Look at how hot he/she is, I wish I was one
Then again, hot or not, it’s always nice to see more westerners in the train. It makes me.. happier (and undoubtedly relieved) to know that even though there are more 印度人s (Are these the correct Chinese characters?) in the trains, the rising number of westerners can effectively curb its devastating effects…

Anyway, I had this topic because the carriage I was in this morning was splashed with westerners. There is even a family of Korean-Americans (not to mention, with hot daughters). I hope everyday is as pleasant as this morning. I mean usually, all I see is 42% Chinese, 33%Indians, 20%Malays and 5% other non C-I-Ms in the train.. The rising number of 印度人 I see around Singapore is really starting to bother me…
Singaporean 华人s, 加油.


10 July [Modern Mind And Pastimes]

I wanna go back to VENICE NOW!!
Why my parents brought me there when i was Primary 2 is beyond me.. Other than some bits and pieces of vague stillframes, i can remember no other things about my visit there…. I remember getting lost in the airport and near the ship dock. The scar left behind by a flock of pigeons that assaulted me serves as a physical memorial.

I guess i have to stash my wish to revisit the partially submerged country under the bed for a few years. Hopefully, it hasn’t sunk by then.. Till then I’ll spend my pastimes fantasizing wth my modern mind.. Okay, what bullshits.. HAHA.

Hurray, i got 24/25 for Business Management. But I’m not gonna let that get in my head.. Complacency kills, and i have got sufficient and live evidence to back that up..

Anyway, i need to get a haircut soon. I guess the reason why my fringe curls so bad is cuz it’s long enough to cover my eyes, causing me to brush it to one side..Over time, it naturaly curls..
