Nostalgia

I've been thinking much into my past. Nothing great or grand seemed to have happened in my life, and simplicity is a virtue in its means and definition. What better way to relive those moments than letting myself go and immerse in a timeless dimension?

Our Defeat

Sunderland lost 0-2 to Liverpool. My heart goes out to this underdog team, as always, for we are indeed two of a kind. Something seemingly (or truly) as rotten and incapable as I am dodging ahead in life in the midst of adversity and condemnation. I wish I can survive in this game of life but I doubt so. Life has proven itself too much for me to take. Thanks :)

I am really not Mr. Tan

I'm truly amused by my new joke book. I have the spontaneous urge to laugh at every word or sentence of so-called inspiration.

The book offers high levels of sheer entertainment and comic relief. The author hallucinates so much that he had lived on the false impression that the world is bent on fixing (I think he needs to be fixed, in a different way) him for the past three decades, and he feels unduly exploited and oppressed in the heavy-handed system. With this comical work he seriously tarnishes the reputation of his fellow counterparts. Using his vivid and often incredulous imagination, he distorts views and theories at whim, hopelessly trapped in his very own world of self-delusion and spectacle. He quotes little citation to substantiate the content, and his arguments and reasoning are horrendously flawed.

There are many modes of resistance or retaliation available that seem more practical and sensible to me, leaving the book a hard, weird, and therefore, distasteful nut to crack and chew on.
I am not Mr. Tan

I just bought a Chinese joke book for SGD 12, with Jiahao contributing SGD 2 to subsidize the cost. I read it to de-stress, breaking into some of my biggest laughs in my life. At its introduction, the book promises to inspire and empower me with the strength and courage to launch a massive onslaught against certain inequalities and monopolies, but I was so tickled pink after reading that my legs could not even pick themselves up. The author indulged himself in some form of self-induced persecution and ridicule, and I'm impressed by the way he interpreted his world. I'm guilty of such ridicule as well, for buying the book in the first place. Small regrets experienced here, but it's still worth the purchase for all the smiles on my face. Shall lend the book to Jiahao when he wants it.

Fulfilling Life

Tackling life's tasks now seems easier with clear goals in mind. Spiritual contendment is the essence, and material needs are, ironically, immaterial and therefore, not needs in reality.

View everything objectively, keeping the heart void at best. Albeit difficult, never be judgemental. Accept the lifestyles of individuals and tolerate their differences. A world of elites, officers and scholars is unthinkable. A world that comprises just you or I will be meaningless to live in.

In suspense

溏心风暴 is better than either 金枝玉孽 or 火舞黄沙. The TVB drama serial is a star-studded production that features many veteran actors and actresses in their best performance, all of whom seem determined to take me by storm with the wondrous plot that they are portraying. Definitely not to be missed, in Cantonese perferably.

The Dark Horse

Sunderland seems set to be the new dark horse of the current EPL season. It shall become another Wigan or Reading, looking especially so after its recent victory over Tottenham. Add to your coffers by placing your wise bets on it.

Happy Birthday, Singapore!

Long live our legacy of progress and prosperity. May Singapore scale new heights and shine on the global arena.

Just like the Mayflowers bloom in June,
look into the eyes of Capricon and discover,
within itself,
the fundamental basics of construction that define and redefine the present through the past;
the prisms that shred light into its components,
that shall point the way to bright and blight,
that is,
the fundamental idiocyncracy of the poetic journey that is life.

人生之艰难
就像那不息之长河
虽有东去大海之志
却流程缓慢
征程多艰
然江河水总有入海之时
而人生之志
却常常难以实现
令人报恨终生!

老虎与猪

在现今的社会里,人人都无形中跟四川师傅学艺,
面具越戴越多,变脸技术也越用越高明。

其中一幅面具,我们称之为老虎,
令人闻风丧胆,却又趋之若鹜。

殊不知,最可怕的不是老虎,
老虎面目狰狞,看官有所提防。
所谓的纸老虎,更是不堪一击。

追根究底,有种双层面具,
俗称“扮猪吃老虎”。
外表温顺,内心凶残,
平时不露痕迹,深得师傅真传。
遭此物突袭,含冤莫白死。

CORS Bidding System

I love the system. I don't have the time to monitor it, but I hope to get my desired modules eventually. I only dumped 4200 points to bid for a particular module, and competition is stiff because there are currently many more bidders than vacancies for it. Bidders, including myself, are now left in a state of panic, no, anarchy, in the virtual system. How exciting!
