You're asking for it buddy

I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS. THIS IS SO DISGUSTINGLY um, DISGUSTING THAT I FEEL A NEED TO ADDRESS TO THIS PATHETIQUE LITTLE CRAP.

Am refering to the guy from the net that keeps asking me out. He was asking me to talk on the phone with him and out of sheer excuse, I said 'I am a very boring person, i'm sure you don't wanna talk to me'. And what does he say? he said i know, but i want to make friends with you as i find you presentable in terms of looks.

f***ingly shallow person. First, he put one foot in the grave when he said 'i know' to the 'i am a boring person' part. That is such a horrible response, and I know for sure that I am not a boring person, HE IS (a boring person).

Secondly, I am supposed to be 'presentable'. I AM NOT EVEN A FRIEND OF HIS AND ALREADY HE IS THINKING OF HOW 'PRESENTABLE' I AM AND HOW I CAN IMPRESS HIS PUNY LITTLE FRIENDS. That is such a gross and horrible response. Get a life, buddy. You may think that way but I don't think you are presentable enuf for me. In other words, you cannot compare to me. So get a life and maybe get someone your own calibre and your own class and get lost!
The cheek of it all

Mum, Bro and I were coming home from dinner today (dad is in Thailand, not, obviously involved in Survivor) And Bro saw one of his schoolmates from um, school. And mum knew this guy too; he was all of sec 1, the 'ahbeng' type. And mum was saying sth about how his new haircut was suiting him v. well and such. Then he gave this grotesque grin and said, 'your daughter is very pretty!'

I know, from someone else, (preferbly a cuter, older, taller and more mature guy), it would have sounded perfectly fine and flattering even. But from this guy it just sounded weird and teasing even. A little vomit inducing. And mum was like, forget it, when you see her, you can only call her 'sister' or 'da jie' and he was like...no... i will call her my wife. How grotesque is that? In front of me even! That is so disgusting. Mum was like, of course he's just kidding. I know that too. If it were any way else, this boy would have to deal with a very disdainful and disgusted me. I'm having puking feelings just from talking about it.

Oh, and this guy from the net keeps wanting to ask me out and stuff. What part of 'no' don't you understand? I don't even know you and I don't even think that you could carry a conversation with me. This constant asking me out is starting to bore and irritate me, even if you don't have ill intentions.Give it up already. I don't even know you, what makes you think I would give you the time of the day?
Survivor Thailand - You cannot afford to be sick!!!

I think I can join Survivor. From what I can infer, being hardy is the most important factor of all. Because if you are sick, you could be the most popular person and most hardworking person in the tribe and still get voted out because the tribe members pity you and want to let you go home and rest. Going home means no moolah.

Learn sth new every day. And I shall begin to train to swim. It is a very important skill too.

Control Freak

What does it really mean when I play 'The Sims'? I believe that it means that I am an incurable control freak. See, the way that 'The Sims' go, I get to control every character's movement. I can make them cook dinner when they are very tired and want to sleep; I can make two guys flirt with each other; I can get make two people have a fight; I can make a couple get married. I can do anything, what I wish is considered done. And I can make them do anything i wish.

Sometimes, it kind of makes me feel funny, dictating people's movement and it kind of scares me that I obviously so enjoy this game because I can custom make everyone's life the way I like it. Do I just like customing suiting each one of the sims or am I a control freak?

Survivor Update - Episode One

From what I can see, Sook Jai is the younger and more energetic team as compared to Chuay Guan. I really don't know what Jan was thinking about when she chosed who she chosed. It is so obvious that she is choosing the older and most probable weaker ones. However, I was v. surprised when in the immunity challenge, they were in the lead most of the time. Who could have thought that they could row faster than the the younger Sook Jai? All thanks to Jed, who came through with his marvellous feat of solving the Thai puzzle. Haha, it was no wonder they chose Jed to represent Sook Jai. He is probably the smartest of them all, being the dental student and such. He reminds me of Gabriel, only a more reflective and brooding one instead of a more charismatic one.

In fact, as soon as I saw Ghandia say 'I cannot panic...I have to keep calm' at the puzzle round, I knew she wasn't going to make it. In times like this, it is important to keep a cool head, but she totally lost it. I don't think I could see her as a survivor. I can't say I could see a clear winner just from the first episode. Maybe the NY policeman, Ken. The castaways seem to have a tremendous amount of respect for him due to the 911 incident. And he knows how to conduct himself too. And Jed, I could see him going on to the Jury, maybe even till the end.

Sad to say, I think Robb could not last that long in the game. He seems to be rash and does rubbed people the wrong way with his enthusiasm. So much for thinking that he was a cool brooding guy... haha. In a party, he would have been irreplaceable. But in the game, it is probably something that the people could do without. Remember Neleh in Survivor 4?

Anyway, I cannot wait for next week's episode to come. My guess is that Chuay Guan would go to tribal council for the second time.

Outwith Outplay Outlast

10 minutes to Survivor 5 : Thailand!!! Since the end of the last season (Survivor Marquesas) earlier this year, I've been waiting for this day for who knows how long...and it's finally here!

I decided who I'm going to support already. It's this really hot guy named Robb. He is one of the cutest guy there is on the island and he was this really great smile. Not comparable to Marquesas' Gabriel, of course, but he's of a different genre altogether. Gabe's the charismatic and really likeable and sexy one. Robb is more of the dark dangerous, sexy 'let me show you a good time' one. But they are both very sexy. And that's what matters to me... haha

Down

Suddenly, I feel quite shallow. Maybe it's the cute guy thing. I cannot seem to break out of this irritating habit of rating guys in merit of how they look. I cannot seem to see more than the character of the guy in question. Unless he was a friend. For friends, the character is important. For more than a friend kinda people, the looks are important. I am so shallow!!! What if I never get attached for the rest of my life because I was too choosy??!!! My god, I am scaring myself....

Finally! it's here!
Isn't it ironic?
This is so irritating. I think there is something wrong with my blog... the messages just don't seem to get posted. This is why it is ironic that i'm typing this message. It probably won't get posted anyway.

Oh Carol!

I have just been told by Lucas that I remind him of Carol Cheng in Oh Carol! Haha. I take that as a compliment, I think, Carol is very pretty in the show and in real life. She looks very good for a woman in her 40s. Apparently, she acts quite bimbotic in the show. Maybe I should rethink the compliment bit.
"You see, people don't say 'oh my Buddha', but 'Oh Christ' or 'Oh God'. That proves that Jesus' influence is stronger"

This is such a myopic and typical remark that made me want to laugh. Somewhere sometime, I heard that there are two issues that debators are not allowed to discuss, and that is politics and religion; most likely becuase it might offend people. Here, I will try to be as objective as possible

Don't get me wrong but I am not against Christianity or whatever. It's just that whenever I hear something like this, I wonder why the person who uttered these words didn't pause to consider that different people have different gods. God doesn't only imply Christian Gods. It is such a shallow and silly remark that I want to laugh out loud at the person who said it. Whom, by the way was someone who was standing in front of me in the MRT today. He is like the most irritating and attention seeking person I've ever seen. If I wanted to be impolite, I could call him a loser, or what Alex calls him, a poser.

Why poser and loser? He was saying how he wanted to be the an all rounder in sports and not be like those people who only specialise in one sport. Those are not good as they are not good in other sports, just their own. He says he wasnts to be an all rounder. Well, I think it's just a nicer word for saying -- He is a jack of all trades, master of none.

And what really irks me was his flippant remark about Buddhism and Christianity and how Buddism is not as influential as Christianity. He was also saying how people try to ban the bible but not the koran. His flippant tone over the entire religion matter is really irritating and while he says that, some unpleasant remark about past experiences I had with Christianity comes into mind.

I was invited by a friend to some church event (which i suspect is nothing else than some excuse to try to get me and other people into their church). And this guy came up and told us his reason why he joined the church -- "I know that I am saved by Jesus. I may do bad things in this life and while others not Christian are going to hell, I am sure that I will go to heaven. I have a sure ticket to get into heaven". I wanted to laugh. Was this why he joined Christianity? Because he was afraid of going to hell? That's what comes into my mind foremostly.

And I thought I was shallow. Here is a guy invited to speak about why he joined the church and all he comes up with is that "So that I can go to heaven". How shallow. How unlikeable. And the worst come when he said "Buddism says 'I will show you the way', but Jesus Christ says 'I am the way'. So who do you trust? Who is better?". I wanted to stand up then and walk out. How could someone compare religions like this and denounce another religion like that?

So what the guy said about Christianity being influential, I could not give a very accurate opinion on that, but where Christianity had come into my teenage/adult life, it had been quite unpleasant. What I miss was my Christian school when I was young, where god is love.

What a pretty song, I am absolutely mesmerised by it

If it's coming over you
Like it's coming over me
I'm crashing like a tidal wave
That drags me out to sea
I wanna be with you
If you wanna be with me
Crashing like a tidal wave
I don't want to be
Stranded
Stranded
Stranded
Stranded
Stranded
So baby come back to me [Stranded]
So baby come back to me [Stranded]
