i think words that were once deemed vulgar and improper, is now increasingly being accepted as part and parcel of speech. a means of expressing oneself. sure, some may argue that you should be able to express yourself without using vulgarities, but i beg to differ. it provides that added oomph, to emphasise your point.have you ever had the urge to tell a friend to fuck off. and show that international hand sign. all with a smile on your face coz you dont literally mean it, but that friend probably made fun of you and was laughing at your expense. and just as you stuck that finger out, you realised you just extended the wrong finger! you just gave away more ammunition for your friend to continue laughing, again, at your expense. picture this:
"fuck you!" with finger stretched out.
"oops! wrong finger" now looking all embarrassed.
that happened to me last night. good thing i was on the laughing end. it was so damn funny! and my friend? laughed til tears flowed. priceless.
i think that wasnt as funny as when it happened. ah well.

wore my asics runners to work with my usual jeans and tee combo today. damn! cant believe i actually did that! so ugly can? i did it coz im going running later. but i guess murphy just loves me.. my assistant supervisor came up to me mid morning and proposed lunch at nearby jurong point. sucks lah! so disgusting lor!!! argh. ashamed of myself. hahahaha.. -hide-well.. ive seen the light at the end of the tunnel finally. when i first entered, i wondered where it would lead me to. then i saw a glimmer of light.. too small to be an oncoming train.. turned out to be just a torchlight someone had left lying in the tunnel. bah. problems problems problems. cant believe how someone can be so self centered to thing everything had his name stamped on it! and to think hes a doctorate holder? an assistant professor no less! ah well.. guess office politics really does permeates to all corners of the "room"..
but.. it looks like the light i see now seems to be the end of the darkness. hope it doesnt suddenly morph into an oncoming train.. all i want is to continue doing this research project for my final year project. is this that demanding a request? since both parties are satisfied and happy, why must an extra just
on another note.. seems like this saturdays plans are going to materialise. it sounds fun. hope everyone is interested. hahaha..

what the heck is wrong with you?
so the story goes.. this has started out sounding like a rant and a rant it is. allow me to ask again..what the hell is wrong with you people?
yesterday, this big, freaking container truck, already posing a heck of a danger by travelling at almost 70kmh, suddenly cuts straight into my lane. and theres not even a lot of space in front of me lah!! he was attempting to overtake a little lorry (i mean. i looked minute in comparison lah).
firstly, what the hell are you, a big fucking giant of a truck, doing in the middle lane of the expressway at 70kmh? isnt your speed limit 60kmh? and not signalling at all? go screw yourself lah. you can dont signal if theres noone behind you. fine. but not when theres not even enough space for a chery qq in front of me!
bugger off and get back to you lane. know your place and stick to it! seriously, all those vehicles which are imposed with a 70kmh or lower speed limit should be made to stay inside lanes 3 and 4 man. so what if the vehicle in front of you is travelling too slow for your liking? not like you can go very fast (i mean legally, coz obviously they can go faster.. but i digress). so stay out of lanes 1 and 2 and stop obstructing our way!
then today.. exiting mindef compound, the roundabout there. bottle neck due to the traffic light further down, i see the next guy crreeping slowly. so i enter the roundabout and make a immediate left turn. the bugger horned me and gave me the "what-do-you-think-youre-doing" look. its not like i suddenly accelerate to squeeze in and force him to slam on his brakes lah! you appear to let me out, and you make a fuss.. and is it THAT hard to give way? very big difference to be in front of one more care instead of behind it? fuck off understand? thats the problem with singaporean drivers. very hard to give way huh? rushing to where? cactus got stuck in your ass? pui!

(postdated)guess what.. i hate surprises.
why is it my surprises, when im on this wrong end of them, dont always turn out the way i envisioned it to? either their reactions are different (fine. this is normal, i got to agree.), or the way they find out isnt how i wanted it to be? grr..
ah well.. how about when im on the right end of a surprise? whats there not to love eh? hahaha.. anyone hates surprises? even if theyre on the right end?

so there i was, just entered the washroom,"hello. im calling from ABN AMRO and i would like to introduce to you our credit line. (or something similar lah)
"it has a low monthly interest of blah blah.. and a low annual interest of blah blah blah..
"may i know if youre currently self employed or working for some company?"
wahhh.. sound so professional leh. like very high class and atas.. but the moment i gave my answer...
"nah. im now a student."
"huh? oh. never mind then. its ok. thanks. bye."
fwah!!! when im no longer a potential customer then all the airs are turned off man. should start with a good impression and end with a good one right? even if it isnt beneficial to you.. maybe say something like
"oh. thats alright then. we cant introduce you to a credit line if you arent employed."
thats so much better than what was actually said lor!!
edit: heard from my friend that this is common place. most telemarketers dont bother putting in any effort if they cant get something out of it.. is this what our society has evolved into??

go on.. flaunt your authority.
im tempted to launch into a tirade of vulgarities to release the frustrations brought about this morning. but ill refrain from that and attempt to restrain the hidden beng in me. after all, that side of me has been suppressed since my days in secondary school and while many a time have threatened to rear hisso i stayed my last night in hall last night (oh. last nights shenanigans will be discussed shortly, after i regain my enthusiasm to recount it...) i forgot to bring my hand phone when i walked to my car, so i did what was natural. i drove out, stopped my car by the road side and ran in to get my phone. that took all of 2 minutes.
when i came out, a member of the campus security had stopped his bike across from me, and dismounted with all his practised air of authority. i say this because i firmly believe that campus security is mainly for ensuring the integrity of the campus, plus being available to respond to issues like theft and stuff (though the effectiveness of them still needs to be determined). after all, we arent some young secondary school punks anymore and not like theyre a substitute disciplinarian..
so, with his air of practised and obviously phony authority, like how a bully approaches his junior school mates, he walked over. i told him that i had stopped to run in to retrieve my phone, and his reply was "you listen to me. i can summon you now on the spot if you choose not to."
like wow? are you threatening my ass here? i personally dont take to well to threats. maybe its the non-conformist in me trying to be different, but threats dont seem to draw out the expected reaction from me.. anyway, its not like i looked like so disrespecting deliquent right?
i told him i had forgotten my hand phone so on my way to work, i stopped by my hall to pick it up. he first challenged me about my status of student in nus. with that settled, he then challenged me about my driving experience, first questioning if i even have a license (like wtf? im the only person present in my car? if i wasnt qualified to drive, like i would be driving on a big white day? stupid or what?), then asking in a somewhat condescending manner, when i had passed my driving. hello? what relevance is that?
i explained my situation to him, but he kept repeating that he could summon me on the spot. he asked me what the double yellow parallel lines meant, so i told him no parking. i reiterated that i merely ran in to get my car, which i feel isnt really parking. but to which he claimed it meant no waiting too. i think i can conclude that it isnt how long ago you got your license that determine how good (for lack of a better word) a driver you are, as obviously he was much much older than me with more experience but he still understood the rules wrongly.
with his bike across the road from my car, and us standing next to my car, we were obviously obstructing traffic, much more so than i would have had alone. and instead of hurrying up and allowing me to get on my way, he made the oh-so-smart decision to direct traffic, as a irate driver had already come up to make some noise, before returning back to continue his "reprimand". nicely done, philip seow. all that could be avoided if you didnt decide to be such a talkative phony who just wants to get the last word in.
yes, i admit parked the car, for all of ONE minute. if i had the choice, i would obviously have preferred a friend in the car as that would mean i wasnt parking, but waiting, and according to traffic law, is perfectly fine on a road painted with double yellow line. and is it that difficult to NOT have the last say and act all triumphant? seemed like totally blatant flaunt of authority to me, philip.

reached home after project meeting.. was going about my usual chores.. taking a shower.. clearing up my room..when i started to feel this feeling.. i remember it from a recurring nightmare i had when i was a kid.. cant remember exactly what the nightmare was about. but i just knew that it was.. i had this feeling of déjà vu.. which i expected since i remember the exact feeling i was experiencing was from my past..
it felt like a bad premonition of some sort.. like a dark cloud hanging over me.. so i was packing up my room when i sensed this ominous darkness around me in my peripheral vision. but wherever i turned, i couldnt see the said darkness..
then i felt all 4 walls of darkness closing in on me. slowly but surely. somehow i knew that i couldnt let that darkness reach me. i started running. at least i felt like i was running. but no matter where i went, no matter in which direction i looked, no matter how my surroundings changed, the darkness was still around me. closing in. reaching for me. thing was. i was awake! i had this dream before while asleep.. now, not only was i awake, i was up and moving! dreadful. scary.
i wish i could say that it was here i woke up. but i was already awake!
but suddenly, the black cloud lifted. the darkness was chased away, as though fearing the arrival of light.
could it be a sign?
darkness.
