Resistance is never futile!

The test is finally over. Having mixed feelings about how well I will fare for it.

But no matter, its over. Shall not think about it.

Have to concentrate on my upcoming presentation.

So me and my group mates were doing our project in the school computer lab. It wasn't full strength and as Mr LQ has said, our group has alot of sickos.

Was that what you said Mr LQ?

Sickos as in always falling sick or having some problems, like dick pain, head pain, eye pain stomach pain etc. You name it, one of our group members would have it if they are using sick as an excuse.

Either that is the inability to get out of their slumber. Thats a lousy excuse as far as some of us are concerned.

Anyway, it seems that my groupmates (those who were present today) decided to follow my cause of not entertaining our group leader as well. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, read all about it here.

We knew he would come up with excuses and try to psycho us in waiting for him to come to school, when the fact is by the time he reaches, we would be all done and ready to go. Then he will try to make us stay with him for another hour or so and waste our precious time.

Sorry no can do. When he called and tried to psycho us, the phone was passed on to at least 2 of my group mates before it was passed to me. Apparently they could do nothing to but be taken in by his words. Its a good thing they still had the will power to break out of it!

My turn on the phone...

Do note that the above dialouge is based on memory. So it may not be 100% accurate.



Him: Eh wait for me to come to school leh! So that I can see what you all have done for our project. (Excuse 1)

Me: Wait for you? How long? We going to leave after we finish leh!

Him: Aiyah wait for me lah! I'm waiting for the bus now. I need to hand up the form leh! (Excuse 2)

Me: By the time you reach we already finished our part and ready to go already. Take cab lah.

Him: Siao! Cannot lah! I already spend 18 bucks on an MC no money take cab lah! Thats why must take the bus. (Excuse 3)

Me: Oh, got money to take MC no money to take cab. I thought you last time strike lottery?

Him: That was last time! Money spend finish already lah! Lately never strike leh! (Excuse 4)

Me: Then you take the bus you ask the bus driver to drive faster loh, tell him a life is at stake!

Him: Siao boh? Okok, the bus is here, give me 20 minutes! (20 minutes is too fast for him to reach here by bus. Excuse 5)

Me: 20 minutes too long lah. We are almost done already. At most we give you 15 minutes. (I must admit that I almost gave in to his psychoing)

Him: 5 more minutes whats the difference?

Me: Eh we wait for you already give face liao leh. Everyone got things to do loh!

Him: Aiyah wait for me leh~ (In a very teh voice, he knows that his psychoing cannot work and have to use different method liao)

Me: 15 minutes loh. By the time 15 minutes up you still not here we really got to go liao. (Can't give in! Have to stand firm!)

Him: Okok, I reaching I call you.



End of conversation.



As a matter of fact, by the time we finished saving our documents, packed up our bags, went to the toilet, waited for the lift, 15 minutes have gone by.

At least we gave him the 15 minutes.

I called him and tell him sorry, you didn't make it and we're leaving. (Sounds like something out of a reality show huh?)

Yea yea I know. I'm such a jerk.

Hatching plans

I think my group mates creative juices are on the roll. We've got a few examples and quotes to use in our upcoming presentation during our discussion yesterday.

There is the:
  • Straight to the point example,

  • Straight and crude example

  • Stupid and funny and yet according to our topic example,

  • Totally out of the point example and

  • Stupid and funny and totally not according to our topic presented example. (Hey, we need to loosen up in the heat of discussion you know?)

I've got some other interesting examples and have mentioned them to my groupmates during the group discussion yesterday already, but its still up to them if they want to use it or not.

Well, if they chose not to use it, it will be good blogging material.

As for my part, I have to give an example too.

Nothing concrete yet. Just some ideas forming in my head.

So its either I'm going to be very evil or very daring.

We'll see.

For now, I got my upcoming test to worry about.

Arghhh! Does it ever end?!

I am such a liar

Look at me! Updating when I said that I will not be updating only 2 hours ago!

I should be hitting my notes by now! Why am I procrastinating to studying?

Damn I think I need help.

Anyway, I noticed that I hardly touched my template after that big revamped and havent been updating it.

If you noticed, I've seperated my friends who blog into another catergory and added some other blogs which I've bookmarked recently or have read religiously over the months.

The new additions are:

  1. Little Miss Drinkalot. There is something about her posts that makes the reader just want to keep reading. I can't put a finger on it... Maybe there is something about blogs written by people in their 30s.

  2. Skybellzz. I usually read the blogs of others who comments in my blog. And her blog is quite interesting actually. Not to mention good looking too!

  3. Teenage Lolita. Her description about her sexual activities is just too hot to neglect! Read her archives, you will know what I mean.

  4. Very Poisonous Lady. I took down her link when she closed down her blog the last time. Didn't update it when she returned to blogging.

There are a few other blogs that I read but I can't post the link up though. These bloggers are:

  1. Janice Yeo. Yes that FHM/Maxim Janice. You know who I'm talking about. I can't post up her blog link. I've swore to secrecy!

  2. HER. If she has a stat counter and knows of my blog. I don't know where to hide my face. I think I'll quit school if that happens! Ok, maybe not quit. Maybe I'll defer or attend the night classes or something.

  3. Blogs of good looking/cute women. But they hardly update their blogs. So no point linking them up.

Familiar tunes

At home on a ladies night. Nothing to be suprised of since I hardly go out on Wednesday nights.

So I've been listening through my mp3 collection the entire evening...

Apparently I am hearing alot of songs which are being used by companies for their TV commercials.

So many familiar tunes but I can't remember which company used which song!

Bah, no point thinking.

I'm off to play The Need For Speed: Most Wanted!

Oh yea. I have upcoming tests and project deadlines to meet. So I won't be updating as much.

Don't expect anything from Suspicious Bastard as well... he won't be around for a week.

Its back!

Was reading the papers just now and amongst the stack was a MacDonalds coupon.

Usually I would just chuck it one side but something on the coupon caught my attention.

Upon closer inspection, my eyes grew bigger and a smile appeared on my face.

Woohoo! Nothing like a piece of good news to start up my day!

In case you didn't know, MacDonalds milkshake is back!

Ooose Baby!~

Some people are just so strange!

An anonymous coward has commented asking why is my blog always talking about girls and I sound desperate.

If people like him/her can post this kind of comment, it shows that he/she has been visiting my blog on a regular basis, since there is an "always" word in there.

Its interesting to see that people can visit my blog religiously and don't like what he/she is reading. Shouldn't it be the other way round? Hmmm.

I may write a short post about the latest happenings around the blogosphere once in a while but I usually don't because there are many other blogs who seek that kind of audience already. The reason why I hardly talk about it is because I don't seek to become just another blog.

Apart from my almost daily rantings/bullshit, I like to talk about women. I may sound desperate but if I'm not wrong, many were coming into my site in the month of September 2005 just to look at some popular Singapore bloggers dressed in nothing but a bikini. As for the latest sex scandal involving a certain NYP student, look at the amount of people looking for the video!

Whos the desperate one now?

I do not write to entertain. So if you don't like what you read, there is always the X button for you to click on at the top of your browser. And don't bookmark my blog either.

If you are looking for news, humour and pretty girls and their lifes, there are always popular blogs like mrbrown.com, miyagi.sg, xiaxue.blogspot.com, kennysia.com and blackhighheels.blogspot.com

Go read theirs instead.

Writing my mind

First of all, I like to thank SuspiciousBastard for agreeing to guest blog for me.

During my absence, which isn't really long, I've thought about some matters during lonely bus journeys home and experienced a few stuffs which provided good material to write about.

Warning, this post is extremely long in my opinion but apparently, some of my readers love it I don't know why. Oh well, here goes...

I have a group of friends whom I only meet once a year. Sure I used to belong to that group. We used to meet up almost every week. As the years go by, the meetup frequency decreases as I have my own own commitments to meet.

I've been thinking about it. Why do I even bother meeting up with these friends that I hardly see or talk to? What do I even say when I meet up with them? I can't talk cock with them as though I'm talking to my close friends because I have no idea how sensitive they are if I say something offending.

So whats left? Army life? I had enough about army talk already thank you very much. I also know that if one day you and your friends start talking about army life, you know that there is nothing left to talk about between you guys.

And thats only the first tier. Heres the second.

Every year as I meet up with them, I can't help but notice that I am drifting apart. Plenty of new faces and the conversations they talked about revolves around their activities. Apparently, they meet up with each other other than the annual meetups and had pulled in a few new friends along the way.

I feel like a stranger in the midst.

Given this kind of situation, why am I still being invited to the annual meetups nowadays? If the meetup was to take place in a BBQ session, am I just there to share the burden of the cost of the BBQ? I don't know.

Anyway, I've concluded that I'm prefer being alone. Its just that I'm so used to going out alone already. When I'm out alone, I need not worry about schedules to meet, what movie to watch, how long I spend inside an arcade, where and what to to eat.

The only setback about being alone is that I can't have anyone reserving the seat while I make my order during meal times. That is why I usually eat during the off peak hours, where the seats find me and not vice versa.

When I'm out with someone else or with a group, I have to go with the flow. Schedules to meet at a precise time, dinner at a special place, watching a certain movie, partying at a particular club. Its all for the sake of enjoying as a group.

So if you are enjoying yourself, you speak for the rest and conclude that everyone is enjoying themselves as a group? So now what? Am I included in just to fill in the numbers? Making it seem that the group is very big and oh so happening?

Till now, I still disagree. If I don't like the time/dinner venue/movie/club, how will I enjoy myself? If I don't go to these gathering with friends, I'm labelled a wet blanket. So am I supposed to turn up and pretend to be enjoying myself for your sake?

Don't get me wrong. I am not a wet blanket. Everyone needs friends in their life. I do not dislike group gatherings. Its just prefer lone excursions. I would also like to emphasise that one need not have a big group to be enjoy. Even a group of two or three can have a fun time, as long ALL parties are so enthusiastic about the dinner venue/movie/club etc etc.

So lets just say that I go with a group of friends to a club where I'm ok with it but not so comfortable with. What can I do? Drink, dance, chitchat with my friends or play pool. I don't pick up girls in a club after some unfortunate incident which is another total topic altogether.

Anyway, I can't drink much because I get high and merlion easily. So drinking is out.

I can't really dance when its a club where I can't really get into the groove of the music. So dancing is out.

I can't chitchat much with my friends because of the loud music. So chitchatting is out.

I can't play pool because after drinking, my aiming goes off target and its a waste of money. So playing pool is out.

So the next best thing is to just mind my own business and ogle at the girls.

When I'm in that mode, people say that I look bored and not enjoying myself when I really am. Being a Lecherous Monk, I can't expect to be showing my lust to every good looking girl I see right? I have my dignity and pride to protect too you know?

Because I'm neither good with words nor a good conversationalist, when a girl (friend or otherwise) comes over and talks to me, I won't be able to entertain her because I can't hold the conversation. In time, she gets bored and hops on to another male.

I've noticed that it is usually the humourous and the talkatives who usually gets a girl's attention.

Girls like guys who can make them laugh. Who doesn't? I like girls who can make me laugh too.

But being the introvert/boring sort, theres no way I can amuse a girl. With a character and personality like that, what hope did I ever have in ever finding a girlfriend in the first place?

I know she is out there somewhere. But I can't be bothered anymore. Let her find me instead!

Que Sera Sera,
Whatever Will Be Will Be.

About love and companionship

I don't know about you guys, but sometimes I feel like having someone to share my days with. Really, I wonder why. It's strange, isn't it?

There are lonely people all around the world. Is there any way to condition them so that they can get rid of the emotion? Personally I believe that it would be better for everyone if we did not have the desire to get paired up. But I guess it's a law of nature. Otherwise there won't be any babies born.

But why the need for companionship? Sharing your life with someone would be making yourself vulnerable. You'll be letting someone else know about your life and your secrets. Logically it would be unwise, but no, people still go around trying to get hitched.

But logic does not play a part in relationships, does it? Our parents hang on to us even when they really don't need us. Law of nature again.

Gundam Seed Destiny AMV

Proper update tomorrow. For today...

No names

I can't take it anymore, I have to say it out!

I betted with a classmate that if he comes to sit for tomorrow's test, he is entitled to have lunch at any restaurant at my expense. If he doesn't come, he doesn't even need to treat me!

Where to find this kind of deal right?

Well, this just came in from Sandy while I was doing some last minute bugging before sleeping.

Apparently, even a restaurant treat is not enough to entice him to come sit for the test.

Don't you just hate it when people take a MC just to escape the test because they have no confidence? They get to push away the 20% or 30% test weightage to the final paper and score higher than you at the end of the day, all because during the group study sessions before the exam, he is (usually) taught and guided by the rest of the study group on the earlier chapters so that he can catch up.

He calls this studying smart.

Study smart my foot! Its cheating! In fact, its worst than cheating! But I don't know what word has such an impact regarding this kind of situation.

The school should 1) make it a rule that if the test is compulsory, the test marks will still be counted whether you sit for the test or not. Or 2) screen those people who are taking an MC to see if their case is genuine or not.

If people with chicken pox can still sit for the exams due to special arrangements, I don't see how a (fake) stomachache or a headache can enable you to escape the test.

Unless you are bedridden of course.

Fucking frustrating. I'm starting to doubt the credit of this university. Its like selling a degree if you ask me!

Thats why for this semester, for anything school related, I AM NOT ACCOMODATING HIM.

He needs a wake up call. What happened to all that talk about attending lectures and tests for this year's resolution? All crap!

If you noticed, I am starting to talk back to him/can't be bothered about him regarding school related matters already.

If its not school related, I can STILL be a little accomodating and entertain him abit. He is still a friend afterall.

I know this post may cause some friction between us if he knows about it. So to my classmates who reads my blog, its up to you whether you want to spill the beans on me or not.

This is afterall a public blog.

It is confirmed!

Suspicious Bastard is going to be my guest blogger.

I chose him because I feel that we have some similarity especially in our forms of entertainment and our views on women and some other stuff.

If you read his blog, you will know what I mean.

Another reason is because I feel that he has alot of things to write about but doesn't like posting it in his blog. So this will be another form of outlet for him.

Don't worry, I'll still update while I can.

Hope to keep seeing you readers drop by!

Toodles!

You guys made me do it!

As commentors have been typing my name as of late, I have decided to enable comment moderation.

Its a very troublesome feature but no choice, you readers made me do it!

I wanted to remain anoynomous, thus the nick known as The Lecherous Monk was used.

Use that name when addressing me in this blog thank you very much!

I don't post the faces of any of my friends are in this blog.

Neither can you find pictures of myself here.

Lets hope things will pick up after this.

Stalker in the works?

It is rare to spot babes in my neighbourhood.

Even with the introduction to http://wholivesnearyou.com

I've signed up an account with them when it was first introduced some time back, browsed through those staying near my block and even if there are some pretty ones living nearby, I never got to see them.

Until yesterday.

While waiting for the bus to go to school.

Woah.

That babe who lives at the next block. She really looks better in person.

I guess its all about timing! Boarded the same bus as me but she alighted earlier than me. Judging from where she stopped, shes either working in the nearby primary school or in the factories further inside.

If shes working that is.

I shall attempt to wait at the bus stop the same time for my future morning lectures.

Lending a helping hand

Was going to Eunos MRT from Tiong Bahru MRT station yesterday.

At Tiong Bahru MRT station, I discovered that there were no escalators going down towards the train platform. The only escalators working were all going up.

So in order to get to the platform, everyone had to walk down the stairs.

So as I was walking down with everybody else, I noticed that everyone was overtaking a macik who was on the left side of the stairs.

Her left hand is used to support herself using the railing and her right hand is carrying a big bag of barang barang. One can obviously see that she was struggling to walk down the flight of steps.

Unlike us able young people who can easily attempt one step per foot, she had to have her both feet on the same step before she attempts the next one.

Everyone was whizzing past her.

So I stopped and offered to carry her bag so that her struggle down the flight of steps would be somewhat easier.

I can see that she was quite stunned when I spoke to her. She took 2 seconds before she came back to reality, afterwhich another 2 seconds after hesitating before accepting my offer.

Either she wasn't used to strangers talking to her or she is wary of me.

Oh come on! I am in a busy train station! If I wanted to rob her, where can I run?!

Oh well, glad to be of some help anyway.

Unbelievable!

Its like a whole new world just opened up to me!

I finally know that old people folks like to sing.

So much that they can sing the same song at least 5 times, and still not get bored of it!

Sheesh!

Well, they may not be bored but I am! Bah!

Sunday, February 12, 2006

No time!

So many things are happening within a short span of time.

O level results are out, 10 million TOTO draw, school projects, upcoming tests, work, pool competitions... the list goes on.

Theres really no time to catch my breathe!

I have yet to even check whether my TOTO ticket got win or not!

So I will not be updating as often as before.

Who has alot of things to write about?

Guest blog for me lah~

Suspicious Bastard, what say you?

How little is too little?

Had a conversation with Sandy on the way to school last week.

(This post was supposed to be up last week. I've drafted it and completely forgotten about it!)

Anyway, We talked about the usual gossips, opinions on certain issues, her Birthday celebrations.

The last area of discussion we talked about are the previous jobs we used to work before and she was amazed by the types of jobs I've done so far.

So I've done jobs that paid $3.50/hour before apart from other odd jobs like car washing, being a general worker and my current part time job; all which does not pay high.

Sandy was telling me that I must increase my salary expectations, because for her, after she worked in a job that pays her $7.50 an hour, she will not settle for any other jobs that pays less than that now.

Our conversation ended *snaps fingers* just like that when we entered the lecture room.

But I was still thinking about what she said earier about the salary expectations.

In a way, it sounds appropriate. How to live a good life with such a measly pay check?

As we all grow older, it is only logical that we tend to spend more, therefore we need to have an income that pays more.

But not many companies are willing to pay that much unless not many people out there has your field of expertise.

Even for those companies that pay high, I'm sure those currently working in those company are not stupid enough to leave.

So if every Singaporean are like that, then who will do those lowly paid jobs?

Are we going to hire more foreign workers to do the dirty work, only to petition to ban them in Orchard Road during festive seasons?

Even though I'm currently working in a company that pays me at least $50/day, I'm not trying to praise myself for being the noble Singaporean by taking up these lowly paid jobs.

I think its all about mindset.

My only concern is whether I can find a reasonable paid job after I graduate, IF I graduate.

PS: After I type this, I find that some part of this post is uncannily similar to that of Mad Little Me's post about the Little Red Hen.

I hope I wasn't plagarising.

Bon Voyage Thommy!

Was organising a last minute farewell gathering for Thommy who is flying back to Aussieland to start his new semester this Sunday.

Organising meetups are always a drag, especially when there are more than 2 parties involved.

One of them has to be booked at least 2 weeks in advance.

Its a miracle that he even shows up today!

While another needs to train for his pool competition and accompany his girlfriend.

Its lucky that the rest of them is accomodating enough to head over to the place where the person is training for his pool competition.

Hey, training also need to eat right?

Anyway, the gathering consisted of the group which I called Pig Dog Friends, aka 猪朋狗友.

Not that they are bad company, but we were always hanging out together during secondary school days doing stuffs which our parents disapproved of.

Our parents would tell us not to always mix around with our good for nothing friends less we get influenced too.

Thats how our group gets the name.

Its always fun when the whole group gets together even though we always do the same activity in the end.

Playing pool.

I reckon our group was the noisiest in the pool parlour this evening. Overdose of taunting.

How severe is the taunting?

Lets just say that if we don't know each other, fists will fly.

We will always come up with some wisecrack comment that will get everyone laughing.

I think my friend's girlfriend was very entertained this evening.

Bon Voyage Thommy Boy! Don't think you can escape your birthday just because you intend to stay there for a year!

Have you seen this?



爱情敏感地带 - Love Paradox

Saw the later part of it on Monday on channel 8 while having supper after work.

It is damn funny loh! I want to watch the entire show!

I combed practically every VCD shop there is in Orchard and Chinatown today and none of the shops have it!

Arghhh!

Who has the VCD/DVD?

Lend me can?

If not I have to buy it online already...

Feb 10 2006 Update: My classmate has the VCD and she has lent it to me! Shiok!

I'm being watched!

Saw this on my webcounter yesterday and decided to take a screenshot of it.



Click on the picture to enlarge.

As you can see... Someone from Croatia's Ministry Of Defence is already keeping tabs of me! Eeeks!

I wonder which post of mine attracts that particular reader.

Babe Heaven!

The theme for the night was Retro.

There were so many babes that my eyes had a feasting! Plus they were dressed in retro outfits that make them look so chick and sexy!

*Drools*

For a start, the girls behind the gambling tables were hot. All were dressed in black. Some in miniskirts or body hugging dress.

*Nose bleed*

Didn't get to check out all the tables, but the Cyndi Lauper table....

*Nose bleed*

The one who was in a green(?) one piece dress.

*Nose bleed*

And thats only some of them! If I had the chance to check out the rest...

I think I'll die bleeding.

Oh by the way...



JAGO'S Vanilla Vodka Cream.

Nice drink! Infact, its more than nice.

Its superb!

Feeling the Vodka cutting through the thick vanilla cream...

Heavenly! *2 thumbs up*

I tried 2 glasses. One I gulped it down in one shot, the other I slowly drank.

I prefer the gulping method. More shiok!

It might just be the one to overtake the current popular tequilla shot. Look out for it!

Where to meet them?

As usual, I went to my usual haunt almost every Saturday.

Music Underground.

I'm beginning to recognise those familiar faces who always hang out there.

Yesterday was fun because they started playing eurodance around 11.30pm. Quite early I would say. Usually, they would start around 12 midnight.

There were quite alot of girls last night. But under the dim light, I can't see if they were babes or not.

Then it got me thinking. Where do these girls come from? Some of those girls were definetely in their early 20s. How come I never seem to be able to meet girls who like eurodance?

All the girls I know are so into Zouk, MOS, Momo, Chinablack etc etc.

In other words, anti-eurodance.

I know there is a community of eurodance lovers out there.

I just need to find out where.


* * * * *


I had a sudden craving for milkshake when the DJ decided to play a half an hour set of R&B.

The only place that had cheap milkshake at that time was MOS Burger. A good thing MOS Burger was open until 2am!

Then it got me thinking again. Why did MacDonalds take down milkshake off their menu?

I know Mac has taken down milkshake off their menu along time ago.

But does anyone know the reason why they done it?

Its a damn bloody nice beverage loh!

Anyway, I shall end with a quote which has got me and my friend laughing while playing an old school arcade game titled Alien Vs. Predator.

"Oh fuck! A can of worms!"

The thing about wedding dinners

Wedding dinners.

Why do married couples even bother to host a wedding dinner?

The couple spends so much on the dinner, has no time to really eat what they ordered because they are busy mingling with their guests.

And at the end of the day, the groom (usually) gets wasted.

Thats for the couple.

Is it worth it?

I asked my friends sitting at the table about that they think and they concluded that it is usually the bride's side of the family who wants to host a wedding dinner.

Is it true?

As for the guests, it is only polite to give a red packet to the couple.

The money in the red packet is (usually) used to pay for the dinner cost.

So it is like paying for your own dinner.

And its more expensive than eating in an international buffet loh!

I don't see the whole point of it actually.

This is what I think after attending my friend's wedding dinner. I can see that he is practically trying to control the mixure of liquor in his system. You should see the amount of martell we poured into the two glasses for him and his wife.

Ooose baby!

They had to gather their "brothers" and "sisters" to help down the liquor sial!

The "sister" who downed almost half a glass (those big wine glasses mind you) of martell neat.

One word.

Fierce.

The only thing I liked about the dinner was the dessert. Mango Sago! I can't remember the full name but I had four servings for that!

Took a cab down to Sandy's place after that.

Wah lau, havoc sial.

2 mahjong tables. 2 different groups.

And the alcohol! Beer! Red Wine! Absolute Vodka!

OVERDOSE!

Very tempting but I had my fair share at the wedding dinner already...

If I try to be Superman I think i'll be spending the night at Sandy's void deck.

I won money during the gambling session by the way.

But overall for this festive season still lose.

Bah!

PS: Was supposed to be a picture taking day but I sent my phone for servicing. Why? Because the camera is spoilt thats why!

I wonder how much will it cost me.

The thing about video games

Was hanging around at the arcade after dinner today and me and my friends were taking turns trying out the new game The House of the Dead 4.


For frequent arcade gamers, this title will seem familiar to you.

So as we took turns, we were discussing about how drastic the graphics were compared to the first House of the Dead and how they come a long way.

Usually, most games will stop at part 3 and thats it.

Then he commented on something interesting...

"Eh, how come these horde of zombies all look the same one ah?"

"Maybe when they died, their makeup and clothes were all done by the same undertaker! Same stylist!" I replied.

We laughed so hard that bystanders were wondering whats going on.

If you are still clueless about what I just typed, here are some pictures.


Zombie Type 1


Zombie Type 2

Get it?

The thing about video games. No matter how realistic the graphics is, it is just a game.

I know I know, its hard to program new and different zombies at every scene. Plenty of money involved and effort taken to produce the game yadah yadah...

But the game is so damn difficult to play! How do those people manage to ocmplete with one credit?! Sheesh.

I shall end this post with a picture I saw while googling for these House of the Dead 4 pictures.

Its still the same

Still losing money at the yearly gambling session every year.

Lose until I numb already.

I don't know how will I react if one year I became the biggest winner.

Just a side note: Sandy has invited me over to her place this Friday for a gathering with my classmates. But I have a wedding dinner to attend!

Arghh!

It will be rush, but I hope I can still make it after the dinner.

Funny usage of the English language

Some things I overheard people saying during this festive season.

Why do people say this?

I hear people saying things like "Can I talk to you for in private for a second?"

The funny thing is, they don't talk for a second!

The conversation will last for at least fifteen minutes to an hour.

If they are going to talk that long, why say seconds or minutes in the first place?

Why can't people just say "Can I talk to you in private for awhile?" or better yet, "Can I talk to you in private?"

Its worst when the person you are talking to has a friend with him/her.

Think about this.

The person you are talking to has a friend with him/her.

That friend can't join in the conversation, and he/she still has to wait for you two to finish talking so that they can go about their routine if any.

Impolite? Or plain rude?
