I did it out of novelty and I found it amusing.

After a few days I got bored.

I guess the beds prepared by your parents are still the most comfortable ones.

even though their command of the language is sufficient,
they are unable to read the cultural subtext.

therefore is it not the culture that divides people rather than the language ?

thus people are inherently different based on their respective cultures and upbringing and that there can be no such thing as the homogeneity of men.

or can we supercede humanitys stock and become more ?

the illusion of choice goads us
while the hand of fate moves us

borne of differences,
to die of differences.

where then does the homogenized man stand ?
neither chance nor consequence.

life and death are the only definite things we share in common.

to live humbly on this basic nature;
is that not a great endeavor ?

i affirm the diversity of men
and reject the homogenized man.

neither chance nor consequence

For where is his will ?
where is that instrument of thought that translates banter into conviction.

without which he is
no longer human;
perhaps a thinking machine.
something more yet something less.

itself an instrument to a higher will;
but of gods or of men ?

alas, both fall short.





an odd paradox.







~


i dreamed a dream of which i was dreaming
and when i woke up,
i was not sure if i was dreaming or awake.

i looked to the left and saw myself
i looked to the right and lost myself.
in between i found myself.
in the end i regained myself

... but was i dreaming or awake ?

to dream a dream
to live a life.
to dream a living dream
and to live a dreaming life.

is there a difference ?

no.

to dream is to live
and to live is to dream.





a conundrum

After the usual bunch of teenagers trying to do melbourne shuffles and typical tourist vids of local ceremonies and stuff i chanced upon this.

... which was just so awesome.

Raymond even does it in malay.

Lovely !

Heres his youtube user profile where he has alot more videos.

The simple Bruneian life, peaceful with lush tropical rainforests and beaches and no political or racial shit happening. Petrol only costs 53cents a litre (about 50AUD or 0.60 USD). No wonder angmos love it.

I'll choose Brunei over Malaysia or Singapore anytime.

So these arent any normal dodgy computers you see at the cybercafe.

They run all sorts of advanced modelling and drawing applications (maya, 3d studio max, the usual adobe suites and autocad are some examples) with genuine licenses and top of the line hardware to boot on 21+ inch lcd monitors.

Wow.. Licenses.. mmmm...

and look at the internet connection speed;

Ladies and gentlemen,

It was my first time in Zouk sg, despite having lived next to zouk at kim seng plaza for a year when i was in junior college. When i went there on Saturday night i saw the Taxi Driver Uncle;

(sorry kenny sia for stealing your pics again)

... and on wednesday night (mambo or ladies night i believe), I saw the Hawker Center Aunty. No pics tho and it doesnt seem like shes a regular there (not that i would know).

So definately, zouk has gone down a few spots in my sg nightlife book and i dont feel like i need to explain anything at all here.

But yeh.. that was a huge turnoff. Sg clubbing is so boring. No smoking in there, everyone drinks from these ghey arse mixer juggs- nothing hard, and the girls are so socially isolated. No fun. MOS was much better, maybe because i went in as VIP but atleast the girls there are more social and no one seems to be above 40 in there, and they have a nice and convenient smoking room not like zouks where you have to sort of get yourself into some dodgy lane exit and be made to feel guilty with 50 other people puffing away outdoors and listening to shit like 'OMG I WAS THERE LOR, ARBUTHEN ARBUTHEN LIKE THAT HOR DONT COME? WAH LAO SO SCARY LOR' instead of the latest in trance and electronic.

Wanted to go to St James but my friends said might as well go to zouk or mos.

Meh-

I had a much better nightlife in Malaysia anyways. Singapore is just not a place for clubbing. The foods awesome, shoppings great, geylang is good. But clubbing ? mm~ everythings there except the atmosphere. You got the laser lights, the bar and the bartender, the djs and the music and the platforms and the rotating discballs and the people. But everyones doing everything like its a chore.

I mean what do you expect when you have the Taxi Driver Uncle and Hawker Center Aunty in there ?

Man all i gotta say is that this guy has some seriously whacked up nipples. they almost look like they are staring at you sinisterly. This stuff is obscene.

[insert cue; dramatic chipmunk]

Kenny Sia, i recommend you to go for a hair removal treatment or buy yourself some Veet.

Just goes to show the poor level of attention and detail i give to secfive.org now.

What happened here was during November 2007, i stumbled upon the this game on Facebook called Warbook, which is a numerical rts game where you have your own kingdom and u compete with everyone else to make the biggest and most powerful kingdom.

(what the worlds largest and most powerful warbook kingdom looked like)

So i played it here and there, i became so engrossed with it that i started scheming with Melvin against the (then:) current top group of people who were number 1 and took them down both ingame and through a public exposure of their systemic lying and cheats.

I played this game almost every waking hour of my life for the 1 month of holidays in melbourne leading upto the time i went to Bali. So i guess you can sort of call it a digital indulgence before my physical one started.

Anyways, i documented this entire process and toppled the existing group so called TPL, became the largest kingdom and then did a public kamikaze display worthy of World War II japanese banzai attacks, all made publicly in a long long momento slash manifesto in this forum :

http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=2618691293&topic=29347

It has been described ingame by many as 'epic' and 'legendary'.
*scoffs-lol*

and pretty much thats that. I think i totally stuffed it in the deepest part of my memory banks because after that month all i did was got myself filthy drunk almost every day while travelling across cities. Not to mention i knocked my head by literally walking into a wooden pole and gave my forehad a scar that nearly accompanied me to the Chinese New Year celebrations.
