Ever broke up with anyone because of religious differences?

My ex-boyfriend and I split up over religious differences. He thought he was God and I didn’t.

Yep, Week 13 is here. And my problems aren’t just the AFA and AMA reports, half of which was finally submitted over an hour ago. Man, it has been such a bad week, with highs and lows fluctuating like mad. I went into the week with high hopes, soon got into despair, and now I’m just plain tired. Life sure wants to take you for a ride.

All I can do now is to pick myself up, get mod term done and over with, and enjoy the 10 weeks of holidays before yet another school term starts.

Contrary to the title, this ain’t exactly a happy post.

Alas, I wish I can say more. I wish I can.

With a title like that, it’s little wonder that this story is currently the most-emailed story on BBC News.

Iron Man was great! Haha. Just so damn cool. That’s the amazing thing with sophisticated machinery in movies right? Which was why Transformers was even better. Haha. The plot was quite duh (although all is forgiven haha) and the punchlines were as obvious as they were average (not witty at all) but I guess no one gives a damn when it comes to comic book adaptations. Haha. The Iron Man technology in the film is eerily similar to prototypes the US army is currently developing, but I still doubt it will end up as fantastic as the one in the movie.

In other news, I took the train back to Ang Mo Kio, and happily walked leisurely towards my bus stop, letting my bus pass me by. I only realised later that it was the last bus. Damn it. And so I took an equally leisurely 40-minute long walk all the way home. Sweet.

I can’t wait for these people to come back from exchange: Jayne, Carol, Luyi, Janice, Yue-En and Kin Wee.

Yes, I want presents. Woohoo!

Here I present to you the ugliest car I have ever seen, this photo being snapped some weeks back. As you can see, this owner here is really obsessed with reducing drag. Here are the modifications (more like add-ons tack-ons) made to the car:

1. “Fins” all over the top of the car (if you squint, you can see it on the bonnet too!)
2. Black piece of hard material to prevent air from entering the bottom of the car
3. Black hard material to prevent air from entering the small gap between tyre and car body

But for what? Speed? Or fuel efficiency? I say fuel efficiency — I think everything will fall apart at high speed. But then again, at high speeds no one will be able to notice the horrid car. Hmmm. All I know is, I wouldn’t want to be caught driving such a car.

Google “Puma Usan” and at least on 5th May 2008 you will see my site listed 10th. And then there’s my pretty popular Liverpool Kits Gallery which is referenced in one way or another in many, many Liverpool forums. This bugger actually asked for hairstyle tips using an Otsuka Ai image I used in a blog post.

That’s the power of having a website. And regarding the above, that’s pretty astounding considering that I’ve not added any SEO techniques to the site, and that Daryl classifies my site as a meepok blog (I think mine’s more like a rojakblog.)

I’ve wondered for a long time if I should have a more focused approach with my site, but I think it’s pretty much impossible since I got into all this blogging shit because I wanted to design, and not because I wanted to write. I look at my site and I think “how can I make this site look/perform better?” rather than “how can I write better?” And even I wanted to focus on something, I realise I don’t have anything that I want to focus on. Well, I could do design, but others are doing it much better. I could do ultimate, but I don’t think I will be playing much anymore. I could do Liverpool, but isn’t it absurd given that I don’t even watch Liverpool matches on a regular basis? I could do accounting! Okay, forget that.

Yet again I rant about something that I have no satisfactory conclusion to. I don’t think I will ever fulfil the potential this domain and website actually has. And well, at least for now, I’m happy with it being as it is — a rojak blog.

P/S: This just in — this bugger found my site by searching for “skinny guy cant get girls”. Great, now even Google is mocking me.

Upon news that the student rate for We Will Rock You last Thursday from favourite gay buddy Tan Chong Min was at an incredibly low price of $50 (CAT 1 seats mind you!) I simply had to go for the darn musical. Haha.

But calling it a musical is pretty much a farce. It was a sorry excuse for a musical, but then again it was damn happening as a rock concert! Haha. After the intermission especially, all sense of plot was thrown away, and the cast went all campy with lots of brainless humour. Everyone was just waiting for some stupid line to turn into an excuse to start singing a Queen number! I was in the Circle seats, and well a bit sad that I wasn’t in the stall where everybody were on their feet for the last half an hour just enjoying themselves. Next to me was this really big angmoh who just sat rooted in the seat haha. Kind of a let down. Haha.

So yep! Really good value for money, great music, and even better company! =)

So the details on how Mas Selamat escaped from his detention centre are finally out, and boy are they damning. That the two guards failed in keeping an eye on the prisoner was not exactly shocking (although we do have to note that these two guards were from the esteemed Gurkha Contingent and not just an NSF guard thinking about his next book out.) What was shocking was the comically simple way that he managed to escape the compounds! Escaping through the toilet ventilation window is the stuff of movies, and I have no idea how the compound superintendent could come up with the absolutely senseless thought that sawing off the handles of the windows would prove sufficient as a security measure.

This security lapse in WRDC came as a rude and painful shock to them; all the more when the mistakes have turned out to be so simple as to appear silly and incredible.

Complacency creeps into every single organisation. And no matter how lofty the organisation’s goals are and how willing they are to commit towards perfection, imperfections always exist. There are no such things as perfect internal controls — only lapses that have not been uncovered. And that’s exactly what happened to the ISD. Heads will roll, internal controls tightened, and more political assurances that such mistakes will not happen again. Fair enough. But the question still remains.

Where is Mas Selamat bin Kastari?
