Sounded.

As the crowded Vivocity was famous for, I stood motionless at topman, suddenly gazing into thin air. I wonder what was I even doing. The noisy crowd seemed very oblivion to me. All the hustling and bustling in the shop, its like time travelling. And yes, about time travelling, we have come to the end of 2007. Everything darn thing seems so yesterday. 2007 was a bit happening, but also a bit disappointing for me.

Today, Darling and I were great people, as we found a Visa Platinum card on the ground, facing down, just outside Page One. Belongs to some doctor from the Singapore Medical Board or something. But then again, we wouldn’t want to use the card because the name states “DR” in front before his actual name. And yes, we both don’t look like doctors at the way we are dressing. So we took it to the security guard counter. Happy New Year he said.

And yes, on the way to the security guard counter, I was kinda obstructed and pulled back by some force. Like a tugging force. Tried to move but just couldn’t. Something was wrong. When I turned back, I looked down, and I saw a baby pulling my paper bag. I look up, I saw the mum of the baby, and she continued to smile at me, still not knowing what had happened. And I look down and then up again, she realised that her baby was the “force” that I claimed and duly apologises. Cute baby, but intentional. LOL.

It seems that my life has become a more excitingly injected life. Roller coaster rides no more, I wish that all my days for 2008 were a breeze. Like a plane taking off. And always going higher. To space I agree, to land I reject. Will blog on 2008. Let this be my last post for 2007. From here, I shall wish whoever is reading my blog a happy new year. May all your endeavours and dreams come true. =)

I Am Legend

After all the talks of how bad the show is, I conclude on how the show is like, right here, right now. At this point, the plot is simple – Robert Neville (Will Smith) is a brilliant scientist, but even he could not contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable, and man-made. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and maybe the world. For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone. Mutant victims of the plague – The Infected – lurk in the shadows… watching Neville’s every move… waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind’s last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered… and quickly running out of time.

Actually, I don’t really deem those infected people as vampires. Just that when they bite, they kinda “turn” you into one of them, which is similiar to what a vampire does, if you watch or read all those stories. But then again, I wasn’t really disappointed with the show. Just that the show ain’t that good. Not epic enough to be a blockbuster. I guess the movie trailer fooled everyone once again. The storyline states clearly that he is doing the hunting, gym-training, golfing stuff, and most of all, waiting at the south sea harbour for any other survivors. He, as a lieutenant colonel in the force, he pits his skills and survival instincts in this show. Not that bad to learn something from. And his actual daughter is acting in the show.

In all, how legendary he is, everyone knows because he found the cure to the virus. But to reach to the point to know what kind of virus cure it is, it kinda makes you feel like a Silent Hill movie, just that he lives alone with his dog, which died by the infection, and for that, how he got by his life, hoping that someone else who is fine would come and join him, and also find a cure to the virus. He’s immune, that explains why he’s surviving. And with the amount of determination to turn this whole disaster back round, he decided to stay at New York. Will Smith has just saved this movie through his sincere acting.

The verdict from all, if you want to catch this show, just wait for the DVD to be out then you go ahead and purchase it. If you insist on the big screen, then go ahead on the weekdays.

Nothing New

At Robinsons yesterday, the jammed packed with people departmental store didn’t had to offer much for me to get something. But I am happy because today my mum will be paying for me, which means I do not have to fork out a cent. LOL. Cheap but best way to save and get what you want. 2 birds down. Haha.

But incidentally I bought a Black short sleeve Shirt at Giordano. 40% off, then I only got it at $29.40. A good deal for a shirt actually. I was actually looking for a long sleeve one. But since I already sought my mum’s assistance, then I wouldn’t need to bother, but I was just hoping that she gets a nice one for me. Lol. And I wonder why Orchard is getting more crowded everyday. Seems like there is a neverending flow to all the jams that are happening in town. And it was quite surprising that I saw Samantha, Rebecca, Bridget and their 2 cousins from their mum’s side, which are also my cousins, or distant cousins, or.. whatever they are, we are related. LOL.  Hardly see them outside though. Heard someone calling my name, then whilst in a daze, I glance around and spotted all of them. Haha. Before that was another camp friend of mine, who knew Muq. He was astonished at how the world is so small. Lol. I was long ago. Just that I never made a fuss of it. Its Singapore. =). Unless that person is one that I have never seen for a decade.

Like I mentioned, nothing is new in Singapore and Xmas was spent like a breeze. I think New Year’s day would not be of any difference either. But I bought tickets to my New Year movie next year, AVP2. Lol. This year’s movie was Blood Diamond, where I actually relented because its the only show that I could catch at that time. BUT. It didn’t disappoint me. I came out of the cinema an impressed viewer of that show. Hopefully AVP2 gives me a kick start to what I call a happening 2008 for me. I could roughly map out the next half of the year’s schedule. Perhaps, the events of tomorrow will  be of no different to any day in life. Maybe the holidays are just normal days that you could rest. But since we are given the chance to get away from work and school, its better for all to make it a rather meaningful one. Where all could enjoy. Where all could make it a memorable day. Then in the future where all are grown up, with their own families, with their own wife and kids, all would sit down, chill out, reminiscing that particular day, and laugh it off, passing it off as a casual happening.

Gonna watch I Am Legend today. No matter how disappointing people tell me. Hopefully I will be impressed a little.

Tattoo

Today is another day where I wait for my time to get out of the house and head for sales at Centrepoint’s Robinsons. Hopefully I get something there. Vouchers are a wonder. LOL.

After watching Tokyo Drift last night, while having driving lessons today, I drive as if like I am a racer. And my instructor, amazed at why I suddenly could drive like some racer, asked me why suddenly I was better at my controlling. Lol. Kinda amazed. But then, safety on the road just couldn’t be compromised in all times, all situations.

Just imagine how many road accidents with have in Singapore. Everyone, despite knowing that they will be driving, still drink alcohol at the pub or club. And with the increasing amount of people passing their driving test, new drivers think that they those racers and believe that they can drive and control the car very well. Perhaps, all of them are just reckless in their thinking. And what happens? All of them either end up paying for their damages they have caused, or either land in the hospital, dead or severely injured. Sad case huh.

I feel for those people who are pillion to the drivers/riders. Sometimes its nice for someone to fetch you home from somewhere, just that if you could only trust his driving. That’s why putting on the seat belt is forever a safety measure that you must not forget. Or else you might find yourself outside of the car, slumped on the road with a pool of blood beside you. If you watch the music video of Coldplay – The Scientist , you might know what I’m talking about. A nice melody to a time reversing music video.

Well, I’m heading out. Needa get ready. Will update tonight again on what I buy.

Cars. and Room.

Just watched Tokyo Drift on HBO before I started to blog here. The show’s not bad, with all the Japanese babes and the ferocious cars. Imagine the hissing sound of turbo and nitro and whatever. Solid stuff.

Come to think of cars, I always wanted my own car, to fetch my girl around, to fetch my friends around, go for a ride, go up to Mount Faber so that I can avoid taking a Taxi up and down. Impressive image for someone who has a car. If you speak about buying a car in Singapore, its super easy. Like a snap and ta-da, its in your garage. But have you ever thought of the money you have to invest for the car? Still don’t get what I mean?

These are what comes into mind when you want your car to be in good shape and performance, and being around in your garage.

- Petrol
- Servicing & Repairs
- Road Tax
- Car instalments if you have not paid the full price
- Insurance (you think your car won’t get hurt? lol.)
- Cashcard Top-ups for ERP and Car-parking
- Parking Coupons or Season Ticket.
And with the ever increasing petrol price, plus the every growing economy in Singapore, expect your annual upkeep for your car to be AT LEAST 10000 dollars. That’s right, 10K. You still need to set aside an amount for any accidents that occur while you recklessly hit someone or someone hit you because you couldn’t drive properly. Still want to own a car? I’m stating all the facts above base on my dad’s 32 years of driving and car repairing experience. He still owns a Suzuki Swift, just that its a tad more expensive on the tax because its an older vehicle. I’m not talking about the new Swift. Way to expensive although its a cool and sporty car to have. Think about it. More petrol your car consumes, more money you will need to fork out.

Speaking about boring where you see words everyday, let me show you some pictures. haha.

Patrick Star celebrates Xmas – At my place.

Took this photo during Xmas, when my brother’s celebrating his birthday at home. Feels that Patrick has been sitting in the living room the whole day, so did this in commemoration of his existence to celebrate what we know as the “Birth of Christ” day.

Right. I remembered that I will show what my room looks like currently. These are some pictures only. Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m Marcus, and welcome to my Crib. LOL!

My Display Cabinet with all the Toys and other stuff.

How about 92 Hotwheel Cars on the shelves? Lol.

My workspace. The blinds are different now. 

Last but not least, My Darth Vader Lightsaber from Japan, beside my bed.

I still got my Lord of The Rings Map hung just beside all those Hotwheels collectible cars. And my wardrobe. I will arrange my wardrobe and take the photos next time. Haha. Design and room renovation courtesy of my godfather. Thanks. =).

Till then, its so far about my crib, so come back soon. lol. This is so MTV la. haha.

Your Own World or Your Own Family?

My boss told me to see him at his cubicle. So when reached his desk, he asked me how do I edit the photos to become brighter and more vibrant? So I told him that using Adobe Photoshop, you could play around with the colour, the brightness, contrast, levels etc. And he the picture he got is his own son. That made me think about commenting on family planning.

Some couples get married not because they do not want to have kids, but some still believe that they are not prepared yet and also because of the long term expenditure of raising a child, in Singapore. Its a compulsory act for all Singaporean children to receive education in their motherland. And when study comes, it means money. So it really depends on why the couple do not wish to have a child yet.

Drifting away a bit, I was using the Facebook application called “Compare People”. So when it came to the question on “Who’s more compatible?”, 2 pictures are to appear, and I have to choose either one my friends that appeared, or I skipped the question. To my surprise, the 2 friends that appeared used to be in a relationship. And looking at one of them, who is going to get married, (those who know, you know who I’m talking about.) I realised that life is so full of obstacles to get over with. And for my dear friend here, I believe starting a family is one difficult task to handle. Especially when you are at this young age.

Family planning is not as easy as anyone thinks. Imagine the cost of every minority in bringing up the family? You have to take note not only by the expenses that your children is creating, but also the things that are happening at home. Like electricity bills, water bills, handphone bills, insurance etc. Many things that we normally glance by are things that we should always observe. Because at this point, ignorance ain’t bliss, negligence means suffering. Although its quite nice to have family, but if only you have the right plan for your future and your family’s future, then you could give it a try.

So is the newspaper right? Where many young ones are daring and bolder to try more stuff like fights, threats, sex etc.? If I am any minister in Singapore, I must be thinking why are the young ones different from my generation. Is it the cultural change? Is it the western influence? I’m not sure. Might be because our parents are adapting the new age transformation, then every thinking, every infrastructure, every culture changes with a glance. Don’t you agree?

Oh well. Need to rest again.

Accidental or Incidental?

Hmmm, I am quite curious to why there is a slight increase in suicide by the tracks? Still don’t get it? What I mean was why is there an increase in suicidal cases that involves in jumping down onto the train tracks and thus, getting rammed by the train, severing almost every part of the human body. Is it that fun to kill yourself? Or is it Singaporeans that couldn’t take the life here anymore, thinking waywardly, then off they go on the track?

In previous years, the SMRT didn’t have problems like passengers jumping onto tracks in attempts to kill themselves, because, at that time, high-rise suicide was the trend. During that trend, people like students, who couldn’t take the piling pressure at school, mostly “fall” victims to the trend. But now, its seems there’s another way to die. A faster and less painful way. Apparently because, some people actually tried jumping off a building like doing a bungee, and doesn’t die, just that their bones are broken, paralysing every part of the body. But then again, the train itself is just a knock and yeap, you knew it, its like a “chop-your-body-into-18-pieces-and-make-curry” incident. Let’s get this straight. Why do people do this?

Suicidal isn’t the way la seriously. Because I condemned it as a selfish move. Why? Imagine the amount of people you have to impose on when you die. You are affecting many Singaporeans in their life, putting them to a halt or delay to their plans that they arranged. At the same time, you are giving a very very severe blow to your parents and family members. Do you know how hard is it for them to bring you from the 18th Century to the 19th Century, hoping to see their age out and see you grow into some adult, hoping that you know what is life all about and happily living them? Its selfish of one to just neglect their feelings and their thoughts of you, building a barrier around your selfishness.

I believe that are many alternative routes to life than to resort in ending it. Suicide ain’t the right way at all. From my perspective, I always think that suicide is selfish, not selfless. Suicide is mean, not lean. Do think before you do anything stupid, for the consequences are very severe, and also very heart-piercing for the ones that loved you so much.  Spare a thought for them. =).

Tired. But got soccer to watch. Now gonna catch the Derby vs Liverpool match. Ciaoz.

Early Seasons Greetings

Yeap. It is Xmas Eve. How time flies for 2007. And in a blink of an eye, 2008 blends into our life. What now I say. Work? Study? Money-making? Slack? Well, 2008 is rather like an indecisive year for me. Think I need to set my feng shui positions right. I feel very indecisive these days. Maybe because I think too much of other people’s thoughts.

Today, the sun shines brightly in the sky blue sky, with thick clouds occupying the horizons but fluffy ones nearing a vertical limit above me. Its a good day to do many stuff, especially when I’m dumb enough not to realise it was a half-day work day for the company. And I feel lost once again without work in front of me. But isn’t that what everyone likes? No work? Fun in all? Maybe I had successfully converted into a workaholic. So I do blame my own quick adaptation for the cause. Damn it. Lol. Perhaps I will take the opportunity to start paying my Starhub bills, then accompanied by some personal stuff to attend to, from there, I could ease my mind to 2008. With a bang I hope.

It seems that chocolate is suddenly the “in” thing to give during Christmas. I have been receiving chocolates from colleagues for Christmas. And yes, I’m also giving away chocolates surprisingly. I think the doctors are gonna earn some cash after Christmas, because all of us are gonna visit them with the sores in the throats and coughs that may even let us regurgitate our lungs out.. Eww. And you could also tell that I do not have the inspiration yet again to pen down another compo. If this was a test, I would have prolly failed by now. Way past the timing that I always adhere to. This is getting sad huh.

It seems that Xmas isn’t really that exciting to look forward to. Its just like another day for us to get by in life. Its only my brother’s birthday that all I’m looking to. Hmmm. Bored. Lonely. Gonna go out and take pictures to curb my boredom.

Damn.

And off she goes for Hong Kong tomorrow. Damn. It will be kinda sad that she’s not around. Lol.

It seems that I’m getting more lethargic these days. Must be the never-ending awakened nights that I prolly been getting used to. And I’m still halfway along my busy schedule of parties, celebrations, birthdays etc. Freaking tired. Imagine how could one have fun when one is so tired. You prolly won’t even know what hit you.

Maybe because my brain is degenerating thats why I have nothing to blog about. Or is this all the world could give? I don’t wish to blog on things that already appear on the newspapers. Because, you might as well read the papers than read what I say. Its just repeating. Or should I say a CTRL-C and then CTRL-V. So I couldn’t expect myself to type much of what is happening in Singapore, because I can’t travel around the world to see and explore what is happening out there. I need suggestions I guess, if not I couldn’t work on anything.

So that’s for now I guess.

National Treasure – Book of Secrets

Good? Better than the first? What do you think? Watched it with darling at Vivocity today. As Nicholas Cage happens to be the main actor, there’s no doubt that I will catch this show. At least its not another Ghost Rider. LOL.

Alright, the plot goes like this : Benjamin Gates has spent a lifetime hunting treasures that have been lost to history. But when a secret from the past is uncovered, history will be re-written and his family name tarnished. On a quest to restore his family’s honour, he must chase the truth behind the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. His search leads him to uncover a mystery that can only be unraveled by the Presidents’ Book of Secrets: a collection of documents containing the most vital national secrets. Ben must attempt the impossible, including kidnapping the President of the United States and breaking into Buckingham Palace, tracing the paths of forefathers in a race against time. Every clue leads one step closer to unlocking a mystery the world isn’t ready to believe.

This movie made me sit down tight, ass-glued, bearing the urgency of the bladder, to catch a rollercoaster ride. An adventure not to be missed, they bring you to places where you actually couldn’t imagine. Like the first movie, the director has injected the right dosages of humour, love,  action, adventure, suspense etc. But if you ask me whether its better than the first, I would give it a yes. Blasting. This show is an exciting one that you couldnt miss. It not only gives you the amount of history knowledge you need about America, it brings along an exciting adventure about digging up the past, bringing justice, and as well as a taste of urban legacy. I wouldn’t go much into details because its bad to spoil the movie. Haha.

Oh right, if I ever think that it would be a trilogy, then I would say yes. Watch the show to find out more. Its the Book of Secrets. Lol.

Ratings – 4 out of 5 stars.

Love-beg.

Hmmm. Today my mum underlined another bias sentence to me again. Friends coming over to my place to wrap presents here and there today, so I let known to her that they are coming over. She told me – Wrap your stuff in the living room, don’t go into your room. Your brother sleeps there. Knowing that my brother brings friends back, I told her – Then they play basketball before coming to our house, stinking like mad, and you let him bring them in. What logic.

I wish to divert from the fact that my mum is obviously treating me unfairly. But its so factual that I couldn’t even take my eyes off. Its shocking you know that. I tried so much to give as much as I could to the family. But it seems that I have been blindly put off. Even dust is better than my contributions to the family. Sensible? I don’t think so.

Today I do not really have the mood to even speak. Thanks to that “encouraging” sentence from mum. Very contradicting to love her and hate her at the same time. But after all, she’s my mum. Being the eldest son is never easy. Everyone in the family looks to you as someone to follow, someone to learn from. And not only my family members are watching me but all my other relatives. Sigh. Wonder what can I really do to get out of this shit hole. Worse, my mum always think I owe her money. What in my life have I done sia.

A few weeks back, my heart suffered a hairline crack because my parents told me that I do not need to think about the studies at Australia. For that, I’m fine and I have taken it well. Now its the problem in the company. As I mentioned in a few posts ago, my boss is willing to bring anyone from the company to Dubai. But as of yesterday at the company party, he mentioned right in front of everyone in the company, together with the chairman, that the person to go to Dubai must have at least 2 years of exhibition show experience. In that case, I do not have it. And thus, the hairline crack became a longer one. Is misery ever gonna stop here for me? I guess not. Well, in that case, I can actually STOP thinking of going anywhere other than the office, cubicly hiding inside my workspace, working my ass off without getting a pay raise.

For now, I would look to the Dubai trip as an opportunity to go further. In that case, I need to work and shine during the upcoming show in March, then I might be the contender to go. Hopefully. Pray for me. So life isn’t that easy after all as it seems. Kinda like a false fairytale, just that everything seems so magical till the witch comes in and destroy your beautiful life.

In such a case in my position, do you know how to get rid of your misery? That’s one of the things I couldn’t it out of my life. Remaining happy is one thing, but keeping the happiness as a mask all the time wouldn’t do much help either. So what do I do to make you see me smile everyday? Keeping quiet. That’s my nature. =). But then that’s not actually the right way as well. Bottling up feelings makes you full of miseries. So what do you think you could do to get out of this mess? Tell your friends. Tell your boyfriend. Tell your girlfriend. Nothing could go wrong telling them. That’s what friends are for. Definition?

- a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.
- a person who gives assistance; patron; supporter
- a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts.
- a person whom one knows; an acquaintance.

Yea. You got that right. Dictionary.com has its wonders. So supporter in terms of what? One friend would just be good enough to encourage you throughout your difficult times. So they help you stabilise your emotions, and get you back on course. If keeping your miseries inside, one day it would all burst out, then it becomes like a festering wound, where it will take a damn long time to heal, yet you still are still pouring your pain out. So be grateful for what your friends have been. Because I think they don’t come cheap as well. =). Cherish them, like you cherish your family. And your life would be fantastic. Trust me. =).

Rural Christmas

Does Singapore has a rural part? Without a doubt, I think I consider somewhere far from town or maybe a neighbourhood a rural part of Singapore. Because Singapore is too small to be have a rural part. And why Christmas? Because I attended my first Christmas celebration for this year today at my aunt’s place. At Telok Blangah that is.

No particularly large happenings around, just a mere celebration for my bro’s birthday in advance. Then we had favourite dishes like chicken wings, otah, salad, fishballs, curry with bread etc. Accompanied by agar-agar, cherries, honeydew and a log cake for my bro’s birthday, it made it completely great to have a small family gathering. Especially at a quiet neighbourhood at Telok Blangah. Full and happy. And we didn’t had turkey. Too big I guess. Haha.

Now I will prepare to rest myself for another feast tomorrow at my boss’s house. Company workshop followed by a gift exchange followed by catering dinner. All at one place. Hectic week.

So what I have in mind to blurt out today? I feel like talking about fairness. Not the colour tone of each and everyone’s skin. But the fairness in life. Have you been ever treated unfairly indirectly just because you are not the eldest or not the favoured child in the family? Sometimes I do. Why did I feel that way? Its like for example, when my bro enter the lift and pressing the number that we are heading to, without pressing the door open button, knowing that all of us are behind him trying to enter the lift. Then I told him that we are behind leh. Then he goes sorry. But then my mum will be like :”Aiya, he just forgot only la.” I tell you one thing. If I was the one that pressed the lift, and my bro will be the one telling me that they are behind, my mum will definitely go :” Ya la, cannot tell meh. ” What justice.

Then sometimes things will go his way no matter what he does, and my mum thinks that he’s always the right one. Then for me will be rather wrong here and there. Bias or Fair? I feel like Cinderella seriously. Because the treatment I get is different. Maybe because my father treats me better. But then of all people my mum sia. Hmmm. I seriously don’t know. I feel like I have no authority in many things I do. I can’t have much of my own decisions. Then my mum will always say that my bro is smarter. Yes, he is indeed smart. I’m stupid. I’m too good to be a person. I very dumb. But does that change the fact that I’m still being justified as someone wrong in the family? No.

Ranting I may be, but it will never change the fact that it is my mum. I don’t want to complain. Because both my parents are the same. Then at the same time, even if i say so much, it still wouldn’t help the situation. Living in agony is always what I detest. For the family, I just shut up and live in my own world, hoping that someday things will go my way. So much family politics. What’s the point in finding a quarrel in the family when all it does is shatter the happiness? I don’t think my mum even likes my girlfriend la. But I can’t blame my girl for not coming to my place because she stays damn far. But all my mum could do is just to at least accept the fact that my girl’s my girl. I don’t know la.

Alright. I think its time I get over it though. For the harmony in the family.

Wish you were here. Your Dreams – Chapter 25

Is this what every love one is thinking about whenever their partners are not beside them? It seems inevitable huh. The power of love. So strong, so forceful. It also seems undeniable that you yearn so much for you partner to be by your side everyday, every hour, every minute, every second, every microsecond.

Well, I could truly say that all that was mentioned above is only if both parties have the similiar thinking of such. But if you are a true born Singaporean with the kiasu blood running inside, do you actually speak of love that much more than what your heart can tell? I generally believe that all Singaporeans are rather shy when it comes to love and stuff. Which also means, people don’t really speak of their relationships much to anyone except maybe (and the word maybe is not there for fun because it makes a lot of difference) their close ones like family members. Or maybe they tell friends of like 10 years or so.

So Singaporeans, speak up. That’s precisely why a Speaker’s Corner is built for. Although its very unpatronised, it serves a purpose for the freedom of speech, which everyone has the right but not the guts to do so in this democratic country. Is love really that hard to be mentioned about? Or was it the experience that both parties go through that doesn’t deserve mentioning? Or is it because that both of you have just started of in a relationship and perhaps the duration of the relationship is too short to mention? I think love is far more than what all of us can think of la.

To me, love is a balance between everything in life. Because its almost like a LIKE, just that it has more emotions and emphasis. It serves as an angel against HATE, yet it could be a devil in disguise. Why? Because you love someone and something for the wrong reasons. That’s why its kinda like a devil in disguise. Love is also on the side of Peace, Joy and Fun, whereas LIKE is just on the side of Uncertainty, Indecision and Norm. It really depends on how you look at Love, because the word speaks more than a picture could tell. So what if its a thousand words for the pic? I could tell you that Love speaks more than the amount of words that come out from your mouth in your whole entire life.

Definitely wished that you were here. Being beside each other, without even doing anything, is also contentment. Making the effort just to be with you, is also contentment. So being loved is contentment. Because when you have one to be loved, then count yourself lucky for there are many people who are single in this world. Yes, you got it right, bachelors and spinsters. Not Spinsters, where the job of a spinster is to spin things. Lol. So do be happy all the time because you will never know when your partner will be back to visit you. Just be patient, because love can wait. Its a very patient emotion.

What’s My Name?

Marcus –

[noun]:A master of storytelling

‘How will you be defined in the dictionary?’ at QuizGalaxy.com

 So do you want me to tell you a bed time story? Lol. From this thing, its up to one to believe every word that comes out of my mouth. Haha. Am I a true person or am I just a person filled with lies and deceit? Haha. This is fun stuff man.

Let me talk about a common term named Forgiveness. When was the last time you forgive someone? Forgiveness, by all means, is sometimes hard unless you are someone that could really don’t bother much about the incident. But if its such a big matter, then forgiveness is really difficult. Trying to forgive someone is hard, let alone forget. But I believe sometimes people do deserve a second chance in life. Provided you are telling me that the person has done you wrong for umpteen times.

I once had to go through a difficult time with my girlfriend because she did something that disappointed me so much. I couldn’t help but cry, wondering why must she do this to me. Why of all people. I tried hard to forgive her but her actions just wouldn’t warrant me to do so. I feel sad that time. But as routinely sit in front of the canal beside my former secondary school, I face the reflections of the moving water, going back into time, thinking through what happened and what have I done in my part to cause such a thing. I also did a discussion in my head, with a neutral thinking in the mind. Then like what I said above – everyone deserves a second chance. But partly is because that I don’t look as handsome and suave to any other girls. And with someone that loves you, I truly feel that the person is the one. Because I know that if I didnt had her, I would feel uneasy as well. Not to mention being disliked. Look at my damn face. What do you think about this shit look?  I think Mark Lee looks more handsome than me la.

So if you have anyone that you have a grudge in for a long time to come, do sit back and relax and think about the incident that happen, and why did he/she had to do such a thing. If you come to a decision whereby you can accept for what the person has done and the reason for doing so, then I believe you are a very magnanimous person. But like everyone else, sometimes, some things that people do are really unforgivable for. Those I could generally understand. Because its like someone you love so dear leaving you, and because of that person, you couldn’t see him/her no more. I do believe in retribution sometimes, so whenever I think of people that did something really of unreasonable actions and also actions that cause severe difficulties to me or my love ones, I became hopeful of that person falling into a deep trap that he couldn’t get out of, so that the person will suffer. Bad ain’t I. But that is just my thinking. Imagination. The key to every success.

Let’s talk about the happy things. Since now Christmas is nearing us, what was my wish list? Let me state it down.

- A Black Zara Shirt
- A Black Pescados Shorts
- A Fred Perry Bag
- A New DIY Computer
- A Sauron Figurine
- A Holiday around the World
- A Mazda MX-5
- A Professional DSLR (Preferably Canon)
- A pair of Puma shoes
- A Red Puma Jacket
- A Liverpool Home and Away Jersey with Torres name printed on the back.
- A Spain Long Sleeve Jersey
- An Adidas ankle cut shoe to replace my old one
- A few Ties for work
- A bungalow for a happy family here to stay.
- For my dad to strike 4D or Toto.
- For myself to win as well so that I could study.
- A sumptuous treat at Equinox
- A new 2.1 speaker from Sonic Gear
- Free games to FICO Sports Hub anytime.
- A sponsor from any clothing outlet for Men.

Am I too greedy? Or is that just a thought like every human being? I think it is. Haha. But I know that these things above always never happen. So I am just stating imaginary items here, because every Christmas to me is just spending time with my family members and being disappointed because I’m like the only person not to receive any Christmas present. Sad to say, its true, because its been a damn long time since I receive a Christmas present. Even if I have, the only nice person to give me one would be my wonderful girlfriend. Too bad, too bad, I perhaps believe that I’m not really important to anyone in the world. Oh, I would like to add another wish to my wishlist. And it will be that I expect no one to be at my funeral other than my family members. Because that is what the world is all about. Realistic World.

Dinner up for grabs. Signing off with a terrible mood to follow.

Question I Seek.

Like what?

Today I was sitting on bus 167, heading to Liquids Cafe at Sembawang and I passed by this bus stop, which is out of nowhere. I’ve passed by this bus stop many times, but couldn’t help but wonder what is this bus stop even for. Practically, its surroundings are just trees and of course, an army camp opposite that has a gate that is locked and not opened at all. There are a few reasons I could think of that the LTA decided to retain that bus stop there. Like if there’s reservist, NS men can always take the bus and head there, and maybe, just maybe, the gates might be open for the big horde of green uniformed Singaporeans to come back and brush up on their skills. Or, behind the bus stop, behind those thick trees and bushes lies a very sacred yet secret hideout that only the Arm Forces know and not anyone else. Hmmm…

There are other questions that go through my mind always. Things like why Singapore has Kiasu-ness in everyone, and other stuffs like what is the scientific name of dust. Its lame, but have you ever think of it in the first place? Haha. The most controversial question that I always ask myself is – Should I be good for reputation sake or should I be bad because no one treats me like a good friend for all the things I have done for them. What do you think?

Being bad ain’t hard, its pure fun actually, just that you will end up like some WWE wrestler, being boo-ed during the whole show, thrown popcorn at. And then people will start disliking you, discriminating your attitude, isolating your physical being, cursing at you like you just raped a young innocent girl. Being good is something that is difficult. It ain’t easy after all. Because its very difficult to curb your own tempting wants and needs. So its very very hard to actually do a good deed. Its sad to see so many good people die early. And the world is once again filled with the baddies of all sorts.

Gotta sleep now. Got a fun filled packed week this whole December.
