Long long ago, far far away... Ok actually just one year ago, I left a town to stay in a village. The first time I step into this village, everyone looks normal however as time goes by, I realised it is a strange village and the villagers are actually crazy...
The strange thing about this village is that the villagers here love to gather together to cook soup. In these meetings, we will have this big black pot of water where everyone starts throwing ingredients into it and start cooking together. Since there are many chefs, the soup usually takes a long time to cook and taste awful. Each chef would always blame the other chefs for not cooking it well. But when the soup tastes good, everyone would claim that they are the chef that cooks it. Of course since the soup has been cooked, we will always have to drink it. But each time when we drank the soup, we came out in confusion...
The next strange thing about this village is that we have weekly visitation from witch doctors who are always trying to sell us all kinds of potions. According to the village, we are suppose to tell them our illness and seek a cure from them even if we are not sick (prevention is better than cure). I heard that every 2 years, there will be a village festival where we invite witch doctors from around the world to show us their latest creation. These witch doctors will present to us different coloured potions in various bottle shapes they made. As usual, all witch doctors promise us if we drank their potions, we will gain longevity, health, happiness, strength etc...
Despite all these strange occurences, the village folks are actually friendly and humble people but acted crazily in varying degrees. At first, I did not understand why, so I went to investigate and interviewed some villagers. Some of them in their occasional normal selfs, pointed out to me it was because of this well in the village which was poisoned...
It was then that I understood that the poison well is the cause of the villagers' illness and I stop drinking from it and the soup everyone cooks. As sane people don't drink from a poison well, why are people still staying in village? I am not quite sure why but if you want to stay in the village, you have 2 basic choices, one is to drink from the poison well like everyone else or risk accusation of being crazy (to crazy people, a normal person is crazy) or two, to leave the village. There is actually a third choice that is don't drink from the poison well but you have to act crazy, however you will become thirsty...
Recently in the village, I stumbled upon a little shrine next to the tiger's cave where a wise woman lives. She told the villagers that they are crazy and tried to treat them, however the crazy villagers told her that she is the one that is crazy and refused treatment. She was disheartened but kept trying to treat as many villagers as possible.
I visited her a few times for consultation, as she came from the city, she often told me wonderful stories of the outside world and what you can find in the city. Of course, like all wise women, they will choose to leave one day...
As much as I would like to tell you more about this village, I am starting to feel thirsty......

Meaningless Rantings & Marketing Terms
Have you ever had the feeling of not knowing what to do with yourself? Suddenly realising that you have a conscious and you are alive, you thought "what am I doing here?". Leading an existence makes you wonder how you are going to 'spend' your life. Sounds very commodity and utility like how you are going to spend your money and how you are going to make your coffee -Cappucino, Kopi O or Expresso. And if you still don't know what I am talking about, ignorance is bliss or is it...
The following is totally unrelated to the first paragraph...
Marketing, Advertising, Sales and Public Relations are all under the same family. As much as the professionals tell you they are different, they have one ultimate aim - Make money. Thats all. Some say advertising is sales in disguise, some say marketing is sales, what about branding and public relations? It's also sales, how? Branding is to create good impression so that you will prefer to buy 'me' versus other products. Public Relations? It's to get free publicity so that you don't have to pay for it compare to advertising.
Before I write more and this becomes a textbook, let me introduce you to terms we usually use to describe our work and achievements,
1. You do a marketing activity (ie.promotion) and you realise no money was made or lost, you called it a Defensive Strategy.
2. Before you do a marketing activity (ie.promotion) with a partner and you know you are likely to lose money, you called it a Strategic Relationship.
3. You a do a marketing activity and you increase revenue but lose profit, you called it Market Penetration or Market Growth.
4. You realised you have put money to endorse or sponsor something and it is a waste of money and time, you called it Branding.
Most importantly always emphasize that marketing doesn't make money or marketing effects can only be seen in the long term and not immediate. This should buy you some time...

The Pineapple Times 4th Edition
I realised the last time I wrote for The Pineapple Times was in 17 August 2008. 6 months 16 days later I am back... I am the editor, the correspondent, the reporter and the columnist. This online paper was started for the purpose of helping people and unlike Today Online (a free newspaper offline + online), I don't believe in working for free. So if you still have conscience after reading The Pineapple Times, you should start to:
1. Open your CD-Rom
2. Slot in your credit card
3. Close your CD-Rom
4. A pop up screen appears so key in your pin
5. If it doesn't appear, no need to repeat step one
6. Just buy me lunch or dinner in kind... Times are bad...
Ok read those sections that interest you... It will help you in your life... Really...

This morning I was early for work because there is a very early meeting, I guess it is God's will that I have this early meeting (though it was cancel in the end) because I met a ex school mate who is a regional analyst for light bulbs. He told me that year on year export for China has fallen by 80%. I have yet to verify this.
He mention that China is the world factory and it really means the world economy is not doing well since demand for export has fallen. Before I sound too economics, follow me on this especially the ladies. Since there is so much uncertainties, like the current job market, stock market and fish market, people will be hoarding cash because it is the safest...
When the economy recovers and with so many cash in the market plus all the stimulus packages and injections, the market will be flooded with cash and then there will be hyper inflation... Which means in future, prices of goods will increase very rapidly.
So what does this mean? It means that the best time to spend is now! There are sales everywhere now because people are not spending and hoarding cash. So isn't this the best time to shop?? Basically the world is on sale, so buy all the stuff you need now... I am going to buy a lifetime supply of toilet paper, there is no expiry date and everyone needs to use it right, imagine the savings I get...

Many women asked me this question many times, I am not sure why. Probably they knew that this kind of thing will happen to me sooner or later. Perhaps it had happened to me but I didn't realise. So what is the question that I have always been asked,
"What will you do when a woman throw herself at you?"
Well if you have never been asked this question, don't fret because when you have a girlfriend, I am sure she will ask you. And if your girlfriend doesn't ask you, don't be sad, most probably she has underestimated you.
Let me teach you how to answer the above question, you should counter it with something like,
1. "Why would a woman throw herself at me?" (Rating: Good, you diffuse tension)
2. "I am neither rich nor handsome, why would a woman throw herself at me?" (Rating: Excellent because you criticised yourself)
3. "I love you."
(Rating: Good, cheap trick but useful)
Besides the above excuses, usually they will follow up with,
"Are you sure that you won't want a woman who throw herself at you. It's free and you don't want? You men are cheap."
You may answer with the following answers,
1. "Yes I am cheap." (Rating: Good, this will make sure she never ask you again)
2. "I don't like women." (Rating: No good, she won't believe you, if she does, she will think you don't love her. Double edged sword)
3. "I am scare of STD" (sexually transmitted disease) (Rating: Excellent, this one is practical and sound more honest, means you admit you are a cheap man with no guts)
Then it will come with a third question,
"What if the woman strip in front of you? Can you resist that?"
You only need to answer with one answer, which is,
"Why would I get myself into that kind of situation in the first place? Allowing her to strip in front of me. If she can do that, it means that we are alone together in a room." (Rating: Superb, killer answer)
After the third question, and with that killer answer, you will regain a newfound respect among your female friends, girlfriend(s), wife / wives and the female race...

Memories and I wonder how everyone is doing
Today I attended my ex-girlfriend's wedding whom I met at secondary school, we kept in touch somehow and I can't exactly remember how after losing touch for some time, we met again.
On Valentine's Day, I met another ex-girlfriend (also from my secondary school) on the street at Doby Ghaut, she was holding a guy's hand, I didn't say hi to her though because we don't really keep in touch and I am not sure if she still hates me.
One day I was queuing up to go into a cafe and saw a girl I once liked (when I just started work). I spoke to her and ask how she was and engage in polite talk. Different from last time where we can talk about anything.
Sometimes you wonder how those people who have crossed your path, walked with you in the journey of life for a while even if it is only for a few months, how they are now and what they are doing.
Not that you miss them but rather sometimes mattters wasn't closed properly and you wonder why it ended, why it just didn't happen or what could have happened.
Ms K asked me at the wedding whether I was feeling sour hearted when the groom wasn't me (one of the tests she always put me through). Of course I wasn't, that was like 13 years ago when I was 14 years old. The next test girlfriends usually put you through is by mentioning that memories of your first girlfriend is always the sweetest. Naturally, we would have to testify it's not and explain why.
And talking about memories... Last Friday, I went to Bellini at Clarke Quay and drank too much whisky. Ms K (very sweet of her) sent me home. Next morning, she asked me "Do you remember how many girls you hug that night?" I think only 2, or is it 3......

A Broken Heart Story
Every morning I woke up cursing... Every night I cry when I think of her before I sleep...
It was one year ago when I met her through a mutual friend. She is a fashion designer and like all designers, she has a fashionable and attractive look.
2 weeks after we met, she asked me out on a date. I cannot believe it because I have been single for 24 years (ok I am 24 years old) and suddenly an attractive girl asked me out. Of course I agreed. We usually went out two times a week. There was one time she asked,
She: "Oei... How come I am the one always asking you out? Can't you ask me out once?"
Me: "Can. But since it is so predictable when you are asking me out, then I just wait for you to ask."
One day, when I was sending her home, she told me that she does not want to go home early and I suggested sitting at the playground near her house. We sat side by side and then she lay her head on my shoulder. It was a warm feeling and she was the first girl to lie on my shoulder.
She told me about her abusive boyfriend and how bad he was to her. That day she lie on my shoulder for hours and in my heart I hope this feeling doesn't end...
We have knew each other for 2 months when one day I suggested we go to the beach. We were strolling along the beach when we saw this viewing tower on a little island. To reach there we have to cross a drop bridge which connect the beach to the little island. She suggested we both go up to the top of the tower which was five stories tall. When we reach the top, there was no one...
The view was beautiful with the vast sea in sight and many passing ships. However I wasn't interested in the view, I was interested in the beautiful creature in front of me... We sat down and she lay her head on my shoulder again. This time she doesn't talk to me about her boyfriend. We sat there for 10 minutes and then she turn her head towards me smiling, her head still on my shoulder.
She: "Have you kiss a girl before?"
Me: "No... Do you want to be the first one?"
She moved her head and kiss me on my lips deeply and it dawns on me that this is my first kiss. It has gone to this beautiful creature in front of me... And it will be a kiss I never forget...
Soon after we held hands when we go out and at every opportunity when there was no one around, we will steal kisses with each other. The kisses were hot and passionate, understandable for a young man like me and it was my first relationship.
However our relationship was never open, it was not featured in our social networking profile like facebook or friendster. Her boyfriend was seldom mentioned and to me he was non existent because if she still likes him, she would not go out with me, I consider that as silent break. And as to why our relationship was not an open one, I am not concern as long as we are together...
One day, while we were out sitting opposite each other in a cafe. I remember it was raining that day and she was looking out of the window. Suddenly she said to me that she couldn't forget her ex-boyfriend and wants to go back to him. Upon hearing this, I was heart broken... She told me she likes me but she didn't love me.
What do you mean by that? If you didn't love me, why would you let me hold your hands, kiss you on your lips, touch your body and let me hug you. I couldn't understand... I couldn't comprehend what is happening... It was our fifth month of knowing each other.
2 weeks later, she called me to say she missed me and wants to come back to me. I was happy and thought that she finally knows who she truly loves. We were back together again. 1 month later, she left me again...
This time she went back to her ex-boyfriend for good. The 2nd time she not only smash my already broken heart into more pieces but also left me with no confidence of a 2nd relationship. I was totally fooled by this woman. This time she told me she was not good enough for me and that she is a player. She usually choose guys who have been in relationship before and not first timers like me.
I don't understand why she chose to go back to her abusive boyfriend when she keeps complaining about him and telling me how bad he treats her. I deleted her away from all my social networking tools like facebook and friendster. She kept smsing me and instant messaging me. I told her to leave me alone and block her on msn. Don't wish to see her again...

And So It Was Like That
I think that life's greatest joy is to not do anything at all... Idling away is an ideal situation in an ideal world. I have many stories to tell yet sometimes I am either lazy to write or don't know can write or not...
Have been quite depress lately, not sure if it's my persistent cough that is bothering me, my backache that is bothering me, not enough sleep is bothering me or the huge amount of gas in my tummy that is bothering me... In anyway, I am not in tip top condition, I think being super healthy is important.
Mr Tomato ask me to join him for a trip in the Philipines. He will be staying at a guest house with someone he knows. Told me it is an idle place, the pace is slow and the place relax. Sounds like a good proposition and the kind of place to retire in...
He will be flying on the 30th Jan. Not sure can apply leave on time and also got work to do. Contemplating...
Last Friday, I had bak chor mee again with Mr Tomato at Circular Road (near Boat Quay). I usually crave for it when I go drinking around that area. However, purposely made a trip there for 2 times this month just to eat that.
I know the content of the article is as ambiguous as the title and so it was like that......

Maybe...
You know when you reach the age of 46, you start to wonder what you are doing with your life. You start to question your thinking, your actions, your ambitions and your life style etc. Your mind is full of questions but you do not have the answers.
No I am not 46 and I am starting to think like that at 26. Sounds like I got a mid-life crisis pretty early when I am hardly in the middle of my life. Sometimes I think and I wonder how I should I go about life. To take it easy or to take it seriously, what is the true meaning of life? I think if I continue to ponder and wonder, I will attend nirvana soon...
Sometimes I have this feeling of giving up everything and leave for the mountains, growing my own crops below the hills. Harvest the crops when the season comes (ok I don't exactly know which season). Hibernate when winter comes. (which means sleep and sleep and sleep). Eat when you are hungry, sleep when you are tired, play when you are bored. Isn't it wonderful...
Maybe I should be a philosopher, think out some quacky philosphy, spread my teachings and collect donations for being so wise and give lectures when the crowd comes to me... Or maybe an artist, sitting by the river, drawing anything beautiful that I come across including beautiful women and sell my paintings for whatever price it is worth... Or a bartender that mixed all these wonderful drinks, tossing and turning and doing all those stunts, give advice to drunk people and tell stories to whoever wants to listen...
Maybe I should just slack at home, be a loafer, go to coffee shop and hang out whole day there with a beer in hand or with a cup of coffee on the table. Maybe just lie on my bed the whole lazy afternoon and imagine what wonderful things could happen and it does not happen because I am not doing anything. Maybe its a wonderful feeling to just imagine, to just think and just let time pass... And maybe this is the best way... and maybe I am just tired......

Sleepless In Singapore
I have gone 30 hours without sleep...
Of course it cannot compare with the immortals of the Subaru Challenge, where contestants go more than 80 hours without sleep to win a car. I am only a mortal, so not going without sleep for more than 10 hours is wrong... totally wrong...
I know you think that I love to sleep, it's true and that's because I don't really sleep when I sleep. That's because everytime I sleep, I dream a lot and it feels like watching a movie, very drama and meaningless. It's just like drama serial except you don't understand it.
Correction, my dreams should be consider movies because everytime I woke up from a dream and sleep back again, I dream of something different...
Imagine after a hard day at work, you go home and watch TV. After watching TV, you go back to work again. That is how I feel...
And it's no secret that Sunday is my favourite day of the week because I get to sleep the whole day. To make up for the sleep that I have lost for the week...

Take Me Away From December
2 days MC wasn't what I expected...
Apparently got contagious flu flying around Singapore. Not very obvious one because the phlegm is suppose to flow inwards not out. And you are not suppose to spit it out because it will cause dehydration. Cannot drink tea, coffee, spicy food, citrus and that is all I can remember. I asked how about alcohol? Doctor hesitate for a while, of course the safe answer would be 'no'. However he says if taken with the cough mixture, will get drunk easily. So is can drink or cannot??
I feel very exhausted, stress balls (a guy from my agency describe stress this way, not sure what balls are he refering to) and poor appetite plus lots of wind in the stomach.
Not a smooth month for work too... Campaign results not good, contingency plan not approve yet, potential partnership not going through. And to think the same time last year I won a pair of tickets to New York.

About Buying A Car
Recently I met Mr Hans for dinner and he told me that his female colleague advise him to invest in a car. The reason: So that he could get a girlfriend.
Throughout the years, I was told by both male and female that owning a car will help you a lot in getting girls. The theory is that a girl will be more willing to go out with you since it's convenient. You fetch her and send her home, pick her up anywhere and go out. And most importantly, it will impress her friends. (Depending on the model of the car)
Mr Hans's colleague's boyfriend actually refused to buy a car and she was pretty pissed. I suspect she is psychoing Mr Hans to buy a car, so that he can drive her out of Tuas. (Extreme West of Singapore, a place where birds will not lay eggs and dogs will not poo place) Ok this is pure speculation.
Buying a car to impress and court girls works but it is a short sighted solution. Why short sighted? Here's what happens when you get the girl with your car...
1. You are expected to send her to work
2. You are expected to fetch her from work and send her home
3. You are expected to send her mother, father, brother, sister, uncle, auntie, friends, friend's dog home
4. You must fetch her laundry
5. You must drive her to Malaysia
6. You have no excuse not to go out
7. You have to know where to have fun since you have a car
8. You have to do whatever since you have a car
9. You have to go wherever since you have a car
10. You have to do it just because you have a car
I have just given you 10 good reasons on not to have a car. Mr Han's colleague's boyfriend is pretty long sighted since he refused to buy a car. But still not long sighted enough. What do I mean by that? To be truly long sighted, the answer is DON'T GET A DRIVING LICENCE. So that your girlfriend can't be angry with you for not buying a car. Because you can't even drive! An example of a truly long sighted person is me. :)
But if you still insist on having a car because you really want that girl, then sell the car after she becomes your girlfriend...

Juice
Mr Fly: "Juice..."
Pineapple Tat: "What juice?"
Mr Fly: "Neh... Juice..." (Looking sheepishly at a female figure walking past)
Pineapple Tat: "Orh... Juice ah..."
And to think he was thirsty and wanted to drink juice, he was actually describing the delicious female species. And then how does he describe the opposite of delicious?
Mr Fly: "Really cui..." ('Cui' is a chinese dialect which means "collaspe" or "broken" I think)
'Cui' to be more precise means 'CMI' = Cannot make it
And if you are wondering how does this really help you in life, it doesn't. I am just writing for fun...

The Pineapple Times 2 1/2 Edition
Today (27/08) I am really lucky, I nearly got knocked down by a car. Why lucky? Because it didn't hit me...
Of course there are a few important reasons for the delayed publication like,
1. Lazy - I don't blog for a living, so no incentive.
2. Playing computer games (Championship Manager 2006) - Yup have been living in the fantasy world. I wanted to stop and move on with life but suddenly I won a trophy in the game, so must continue...
3. No payment received yet - Obviously the online electronic payment didn't work.
Train of Thoughts
Recently I just called my buddy, it's has been some time since I spoke to him. So I decided to call him anyway 1 day...
I have a buddy from army who was assigned to me during National Service. It was not by choice, it was by fate because buddies are assigned based on birth dates. He is a pretty interesting fellow and I have not seen him for centuries. Although there are the occasional calls but usually I am alseep because either the call is too early or too late. Ok I sleep a lot...
He is a pretty witty fellow and probably he can have a book of quotes from him.
The conversation below started because I wanted to prove that he was talking cock when he says his friends are more important than his girlfriend.
Here is one classic quote from him...

Pineapple Tat: "Wah lau eh... Your girlfriend is more important than us..." (big mistake)
Mr Buddy: "Of course la... I can bang my girlfriend... Can you let me bang you..." (-_-" point taken)
For more information on this legendary person, you can read about this fellow below...

My Buddy and Me
Life is like a box of chocolates
Oh if you like what you read about him... He should be still single... If you like guys who are humourous, likes risk taking and enjoy a good emotional roller coaster... He is the one for you!
Learnings from him is if someone says his friends is more important than his girlfriend, chances are he is bluffing... Don't believe, read his quotes again...

Love Column
I have thought of a few titles like,
1. Pineapple Economics of Love
2. Dr Pineapple Love
3. Love Love Pineapple
Of course I still can't decide what the title is, let me continue until I thought of one...
Marketers are Liars
It's true that in Marketing, you will meet a lot of beautiful women. Of course that also depends on what industry you are in and what you are marketing. If you are marketing ship paint or springs, chances are that you will meet men only.
So why does the Marketing Profession has many opportunities of meeting beautiful women?
Because the job requires you to meet lots of people from advertising, public relations, events, media, marketing research, modelling agency and other marketers. All of these dominated by women...
Since this is the 2nd and a half edition, of course I will not complete it... Hee...
Editors note
Recently I seek an internet geomancer (someone from my interactive agency) and was told that wordpress.com (another blog) is better. I am contemplating moving my blog to wordpress but like quite messy after shifting it over... Let me think about it...

The Pineapple Times 2nd Edition
You must be surprised to see the 2nd edition of "The Pineapple Times" publish so quickly. Since I am writing a newspaper, of course I have to publish it daily. I know all of you are dying to pay for the newspaper, so this is what you can do to pay online:
1. Take your credit or debit card
2. Eject your CD-ROM (yes I mean your computer cd-rom)
3. Put your card on the CD-ROM
4. Close your CD-ROM
5. A pop up screen should appear
6. If it doesn't, start from step 1 again.
Ok read the sections that interest you... It will help you in your life... Really...

Train of Thoughts
As the headline suggest, I usually have thoughts when I am in the train. Not that I don't think when I am static, in fact I have lots of ideas about work when I sit stationary on the toilet bowl. So this section is about random thoughts.
My lecturer told me she couldn't understand how someone can get up late in the day especially after 12 noon. She thought that people who has this practice must be lazy. Then slowly as she got older, she realised;
"Everyone is made differently..."
She said that some people work better in the day, some better at night. This statement is especially useful when you are irritated by someone's action or are baffled by their senseless motivations at work... Tell yourself "Everyone is made differently..."
Some people are idiots and some are not...

Money Matters
Yesterday Mr Fly told me that he is going to buy stocks in a company that produces steels. I asked him whether it is a commodity, he replied that it should be since its made from iron ore.
Talking about commodities, they are things like coffee beans, tea leaves, soya beans etc. Remember if you were to buy for example soya beans. You are suppose to sell it within certain timeline (usually a month I think). And if you forgot about it, you will receive a call from the port asking you to collect your container load of soya beans. So most importantly, if you were to buy commodities, buy something that you LIKE, like coffee beans. Even you forget to sell, at least you have a lifetime supply of coffee.

Marketers Are Liars
As you know (if you don't know), I am in marketing. There are those trade publications like Marketing-interactive and The Marketer. I reckon I should start my own marketing column called "Marketers Are Liars". We are not really liars, we are just story tellers. We all like to sell a good story and then of course you will buy from us.
As you know (if you don't know again), I am managing direct marketing channels and one of them is SMS. You know those SMS you receive Adv.
Yah... You could be receiving those that I sent.
Anyway there will be people who unsubscribe to SMS notifications during each campaign. As unsubscribing is automated, you actually have to reply as indicated in the SMS to unsubscribe. If not the system cannot identify your SMS and unsubscribe you. (yes the system is not that intelligent yet)
So part of my job is to manually unsubscribe people from the SMS list in the event they spell wrongly 'unsub' like 'unscb'. Some people are polite to actually type a full sentence to indicate their intentions like "Please unsubscribe me from you list. Thank you." or "Unsubscribe. Thks." These are genuine mistakes, so I have to manually remove them as the system cannot recognise such instructions.
I actually receive an unsubscribe request in this format and in this case the unsubscribe command is 'X'. Here is one classic SMS:
F**k you man! I dont give a f**k care about your f**king contest! X!
Ok as you can see from the above SMS, obviously the system won't unsubscribe the number...
Anyway I am thinking of sending an SMS response (using the system of course) to that person's number in the below format,
"This is an automated reply. Your SMS has been forwarded to the police. They will be calling you shortly."
This should be quite cool...

Money Matters
I finally mailed my insurance application today, finally opened an online trading account with DBS Vickers and finally I am going to get rich.....
According to Mr Fly (long long time never wrote about him) Now the stock market is displaying Double 'M' Top or Double Top 'M', whichever it is, it means the market is going to slide further.
As much as you think I am going to give you some tips on stocks, I am going to tell you what a taxi driver tell me about stocks. He said and prophesize that economy goes into decline every 12 years, especially in the Year of the Tiger, he gave some examples like 1978/79, 1998/99 and the next one will be 2009/10. However if you notice, some of the maths don't seem to quite add up. Anyway something money related is that every time when it is the Year of the Rat, there will be heavy flooding. (water = money)
In case you wonder how come the taxi uncle still drives taxi, I suspect its his hobby, if not he must really not like money...

Women Weekly
As I spoke to my lecturer (obviously a woman) about this guy leaving his job, the first thing she said, "He must have been sacked!" Obviously she knows and detest this man and then she told me...
Lecturer: "Bad guys will always get sacked."
Pineapple Tat: "But they always climbed very high." (in the corporate world)
Lecturer: "Yes but they will get sacked one day."
Pineapple Tat: "Really?"
And then she rest her hand on my shoulder and reassured me,
Lecturer: "Yes... Trust me... They will get sacked one day."
And then another woman told me about this wicked man whom she describe as having amnesia and forgot about what he said that he will support her on. I am not sure if he really deserved it but...
She exclaimed: "He is really a wicked man, he will become an ant in his next life!"
In case you think that Women Weekly is going to teach you about how to get free sex or court girls... Nope... Its about how women curse men weekly...
So bad and wicked people will get sacked and become an ant in their next life...

I was sitting in a huge glass cube at this meeting where there were 2 men in front of me discussing about something. However all I could pick out was portal, COTU and Aria. I suspect that they are not speaking English and I am very sure they are talking about teleporting a secret weapon to destroy another planet. And then I realised they had pointed ears. And then I realised I must be in the wrong galaxy and then I kept pressing my watch trying to beam myself away from that glass cube, back to my Pineapple Starship...
Next time when you are stuck in the wrong galaxy, just say that you need to refill the urinal so that it can start flushing again. Ok I know... Crap...

To Love An Imperfect Man
I look into the mirror and I am not sure what she sees in this man...
I look into my wallet and I am not sure what wonderful things can this little money buy...
I thank God for sending me this wonderful woman into my life...
For she does not ask of me to pluck the stars up in the sky for her or to dig for diamonds under the earth...
For she will be happy just to have the sweets in my pocket...
And to have such a wonderful woman loving an imperfect man like me, what more can I ask for...
Dedicated to Ms K and I want to wish you a Happy Birthday!

Mid 20s Crisis
You know people always talk about mid life crisis, I am not even sure which part of my life is mid life. It could be 20 (if you live until 40), it could be 30 (if you live until 60), it could be 40 (if you live until 80) and on and on and on. I reckon my mid life is about 50 because I will live to 100 and beyond, simply because I don't smoke, I don't drink (ok a little bit), I don't gamble (using luck is gamble, using skills is not) and I sleep a lot.
Being 25, I think I am having a quarter life crisis (remember I will live to 100 and beyond). Because I have:
1. Resign from my job: Strangely everything seems quiet, no hooha nothing. Of course it's good, just that it feels strangely quiet, like calmness before a storm...
2. Found a new job: I am looking forward to the new challenges and to learn new things. People usually get excited about it... Not sure why I am not...
3. Lessons postponed: My lecturer went for an op suddenly, glad that everything turns out well for her. However not sure when the lessons will resume and project postpone till when...
4. Financial: Haven't bought my insurance, start investment, file my tax, save enough money for education...
5. Education: Will be taking my degree next year after I complete my diploma this year, it will be another 2 years of studying and by that time I would be 28...
6. No one seduce me: Yah... Why don't have?
Things and life seem to stop moving...
And talking about me living to 100, I think I will tell Ms K that if she live to be 100, I hope to live to be 100 and minus a day. Why? So that I will not live a day without her...

Top 10 Women
I read Veran's blog and he mention that he started writing a blog because of a girl. I wonder whether I wrote a blog for the same reason (1 girl) or reasons (many girls)? I can't exactly remember what happened, so I am going to look through all my past records and read what really happen...

2. Dreaming Ms K (March 17, 2006)
3. Jingle Bells Jingle Bells (March 18, 2006)
4. A Passing of a April Shower (March 22, 2006)
