Mood: Sleepy..
lol.. it's been about a full month or so since i last blogged.. quite a lot of things has happened since, but well, i'm kinda sleepy which in turn makes me a bit lazy to blog =X maybe tomorrow bah, but well, this is something interesting.. found this from a forum, and hey, it's quite true [ at least, for me la ] ..
This is a tribute to the nice guys.. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores..
This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support... This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern.. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl's every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style..
This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they're at her door, for the guys who accompany girls to bars as buffers against the rest of the creepy male population, for the guys who know a girl is fishing for compliments but give them out anyway..
For the guys who always play by the rules in a game where the rules favor cheaters, for the guys who are accredited as boyfriend material but somehow don't end up being boyfriends, for all the nice guys who are overlooked, underestimated, and unappreciated, for all the nice guys who are manipulated, misled, and unjustly abandoned, this is for you..
This is for that time she left 40 urgent messages on your cell phone, and when you called her back, she spent three hours painstakingly dissecting two sentences her boyfriend said to her over dinner... And even though you thought her boyfriend was a chump and a jerk, you assured her that it was all ok and she shouldn't worry about it..
This is for that time she interrupted the best killing spree you'd ever orchestrated in your Play Station Game to rant about a rumor that romantically linked her and the guy she thinks is the most repulsive person in the world... And even though you thought it was immature and you had nothing against the guy, you paused the game for two hours and helped her concoct a counter-rumor to spread around the floor..
This is also for that time she didn't have a date, so after numerous vows that there was nothing "serious" between the two of you, she dragged you to a party where you knew nobody, the beer was awful, and she flirted shamelessly with you, justifying each fit of reckless teasing by announcing to everyone: "oh, but we're just friends!" And even though you were invited purely as a symbolic warm body for her ego, you went anyways. Because you’re nice like that..
The nice guys don't often get credit where credit is due. And perhaps more disturbing, the nice guys don't seem to get laid as often as they should.. And I wish I could logically explain this trend, but I can't.. From what I have observed on campus and what I have learned from talking to friends at other schools and in the workplace, the only conclusion I can form is that many girls are just illogical, manipulative bitches...
Many of them claim they just want to date a nice guy, but when presented with such a specimen, they say irrational, confusing things such as "oh, he's too nice to date" or "he would be a good boyfriend but he's not for me" or "he already puts up with so much from me, I couldn't possibly ask him out!" or the most frustrating of all: "no, it would ruin our friendship."
Yet, they continue to lament the lack of datable men in the world, and they expect their too-nice-to-date male friends to sympathize and apologize for the men that are jerks.. Sorry, guys, girls like that are beyond my ability to fathom. I can't figure out why the connection breaks down between what they say (I want a nice guy!) and what they do (I'm going to sleep with this complete ass now!)...
But one thing I can do, is say that the nice-guy-finishes-last phenomenon doesn't last forever.. There are definitely many girls who grow out of that train of thought and realize they should be dating the nice guys, not taking them for granted. The tricky part is finding those girls, and even trickier, finding the ones that are single...
So, until those girls are found, I propose a toast to all the nice guys... You know who you are, and I know you're sick of hearing yourself described as ubiqutously nice. But the truth of the matter is, the world needs your patience in the department store, your holding open of doors, your party escorting services, your propensity to be a sucker for a pretty smile...
For all the crazy, inane, absurd things you tolerate, for all the situations where you are the faceless, nameless hero, my accolades, my acknowledgement, and my gratitude go out to you... You do have credibility in this society, and your well deserved vindication is coming..
Mood - Bored..

Song - Blurry [ Acoustic ]
A change of skin, a new address for my blog. oh well. was actually thinking of just deleting away the blog, but after a few words from someone, decided to keep it. just as well, since this blog has followed me for quite some time already.
anyway, this two weeks plus has seen quite a bit of things happening. so well, long post:
1) UGC
like i have written in my earlier posts, i made it for the UGC. okay la. not bad. for a person who is so fucking n00b, i can say that the result of me being kicked out in the first round for both categories is kinda expected bah. oh well. there's always a next year [ provided, of course, i'm still alive by then, lol ] and ya, quite alot of events though. memorable ones would be like how falfen, who was so guai lan to tap brake, didn't notice how much his speed dropped, giving his opponent a chance to overtake. and somemore on a straightway with little to go before reaching the finish line. lol. owned. and there were others like how alvin lost to michael, who blocked him from start to finish and somemore, on a map that alvin himself used to be like super duper owning at. oh well. -.- and ya. i managed to kick tong lam out of the compy. LOL. hmm. one could say that it was more luck then skill though. or maybe not. but anyway. it's over, so congrats to the winners while the losers like me can start whining. HAHAHA!
2) Malaysia
yep. Malaysia yet again. it's been like every year now that i go MY for holidays, LOL. no choice la. everyone's out of money. so ya, maybe next time, i can blog about going to hong kong or japan bah, lol. but seriously, nothing much done. eh. one can put it this way bah. i went to donate blood. not to people, but to mosquitoes. LOL! really alot there, and it's not helping that it's damned humid, which means plenty of sweating, which in turn leads to those irritating little bugs having a great feast on my blood supply -.- it's a wonder i didn't get dengue fever or anything like that XD anyway, like i said, nothing much done. abit of shopping, gorging myself on food [ malaysia is a food paradise. so cannot complain, lol ]and battle gear 3 [ closest thing i could find to ID -.- ] oh well, it's practice for AS4 anyway.. XD other then the above, pure slacking, sleeping, whatever at home. no car + no license means i cant take the car out for a few spins, right ? zzz.. can only blame myself for being so lazy.. -.-
oh well.. school's up in a few days or so, hai ~~ too slack liao. gotta get myself into the right frame of mind for school, no ? lol.. till next time ~
Jay Chou's 退后
天空灰的像哭過
The sky is gray, as if it has cried
離開你以後 並沒有更自由
After leaving you, I am not any more free
酸酸的空氣 嗅出我們的距離
The sour air produces the smell of our distance
一幕最新的結局 像呼吸般無法停息
The newest result is like breathing, unable to cease
抽屜泛黃的日記 找到了回憶
The yellowed-diary in the drawer has found its recollections
那笑容是夏季
That smile resembles the season of summer
你我的過去 被算是真的忘記
Our past can really be considered to be forgotten
缺氧過後的愛情 如星的眼淚是多餘
The lack of oxygen after love is like the tears of stars, it is unneccesary
我知道你我都沒有錯
I know that neither of us are at fault
只是忘了怎麼退後
We just forgot how to retreat
信誓旦旦給了承諾 卻被時間撲了空
Our oath made its best effort, but it allowed time to make it empty
我知道我們都沒有錯
I know that neither of us are at fault
只是放手會比較好過
It is just that it will be better if we separate
最美的愛情回憶裡待續
The most beautiful love is the type that we carry on in our memories

抽屉泛黄的日记 榨干了回忆

那笑容是夏季
That smile resembles the season of summer
你我的过去 被顺时针地忘记
Our past can really be considered to be forgotten
缺氧过后的爱情 粗心的眼泪是多余
The lack of oxygen after love is like the tears of stars, it is unneccesary

Time - 2353 Hrs
just a little post before i go get some zzz. school starts at 8 tomorrow, so ya. can't really be late, can i?
the past two days, i have spent a fair amount of time. thinking. Who are really the people i can call friends? Who are the people i can really depend on when everything just seems so wrong? Who are the people i can really trust? Simply put, i donno who i should really so call "friend" with now. really donno. is it just me thinking too much? Donno. i find that everyone seems to be using me for their own ends. yep. just use, then discard me when they're done. and yes, at this point, it does seem appropriate for me to quote a single person or perhaps parties that i feel are involved. but no, better not. this kind of things are sensitive in nature and i don wish to hurt any innocent parties that may find themselves unwittingly be dragged into this litte fuss of mine. at times, i really wish there was something, like a sure - fire solution to problems like this. instead, now, everything's so gray. things are not like last time; you're either white; if not, you're black. end of story. but no, doesn't work that way. hai~ really. but well, here's a that silly little quiz again. quite a bit of food for thought here. and yeah, plenty of thanks to jolynn yet again ~
At this time you are really feeling quite exhausted by all the conflict and quarrelling that is going on about you and you are looking for some sort of protection from this state of affairs. Ideally you are seeking a peaceful condition and a tranquil environment in which you can be afforded the chance to relax and recover......
Which ever way you turn you feel that you are being utterly thwarted. There is considerable conflict in the air but you will stick to your beliefs and not be deterred in endeavouring to attain your objectives.
Enough is enough - but the problems never seem to stop. They never stop. You feel, and maybe you are right, that the problems seem to go on and on and you have indeed had more than your fair share of trials and tribulations. But to give you credit - you bounce back time and time again - you stick to your beliefs because deep down you have that inner knowledge, that 'belief' system that in the end, everything will turn out OK - and you are right -it will!
Whatever has caused the situation, you just don't seem to be able to sustain or maintain relationships as you would wish to. What you really seek is to be able to develop a relationship with someone with whom you can truly share: Love, Serenity, Peace and Quiet. But you are a very demanding person and it is your nature that leads to disquiet and discord: you are like the tide, flotsam and jetsam... One minute you experience 'highs' and a few moments later 'lows'. This obviously will introduce discord into any relationship and with this demanding attitude - the ideal state you desire is unable to develop. Despite the urge to gratify your natural desires, you impose a considerable self-restraint on your instincts in the belief that this demonstrates your superiority and raises you above the common herd. You are extremely critical of everything that is presently going on around you and you find it difficult to listen to or to take advice from anyone. You enjoy the original, the ingenious and the subtle.
It is strange that the anxiety that you are experiencing at this time is of your own making simply because of your desire to be respected by your fellow man and with those whom you work with. You are not satisfied. The normal congenial 'you' is becoming quite introverted. This is becoming increasingly more obvious because you seem to shy away from participating in everyday activities. You are refusing to allow yourself to become involved or to participate with others and it is the reluctance to communicate that is the inherent cause of your problems.
Mood - trying hard to :) . but.. -.-

Time - 2022 Hrs
just downloaded this song. quite nice le. at least. it speak volumes about my feelings at the moment.
but anyway. just to update bah.. waiting for my DOTA kakis to come up then off i go.
this few days, i can proudly declare that i am offically a NO - LIFE person. school, home, games. no go out [ or at least only thursday, when i went jp to meet ah gong. ]. even my parents are abit O.o at the sight of their dear son sitting at home and in front of the com DOTA - ing like some mad freak. hahaha~ can't be blamed. i always do all the "weird" things when i'm heartbroken. but fret not, good friends of mine. lance isn't about to go crazy. well, at least for the next 5 minutes. after that, i can't guarantee anything. lol. okay. that was lame =X
so well, i have done it. i'm now in the UGC for initial D. both stock and tuned. can't really let down my guard now; all the pros are here. as much as i would like to say that i will own everyone in the compy, i should really just be realistic. as in train like mad and pray for the best. lol. in any case, yesterday's UGC qualifier at tpy was such a bomb. well, it's really about kaiqi and tong lam bah. as one should know by now, kaiqi was kicked out of the stock category at the last minute by tong lam. LOL. owned. song boh ~ after that, went down to atrium to meet ah gong who was the official for the House Of The Dead 4 compy. returned him the 10 bucks i borrowed from him on thursday. and yes, of all days to come, i suddenly developed a bloody headache -_________- . WAS going to go home and sleep it off but ah gong , after much pyscho - ing, pulled me down to jp. cannot blame. brother is brother. can't bail out on him now, can i? oh well. so ya. pulled myself together for a mad ID spree. learnt a few things; hopefully, come UGC, i'll put everything to good use. after that, home, a bath, and ZZZs.
lastly, today. about the same as every other sunday, went down suntec with parents. and yes, i should really stop feeding kazer honey stars. damned dulan. cannot keep up with you ah. zzz. well. lose some, win some. brought this new game; it's called company of heroes. wow. LOVE THIS GAME. try to imagine something like dawn of war, world war 2 style. haha.~
ah. my kakis are here. i'm off to dota. cya around ppl..~~

Time - 09.11 A.M.
just woke up. couldn't really sleep last night. Guessed that after hearing rain got attached, all the memories flooded back into me. well. i really am at wit's end. not sure what can be done anymore. oh well. anyway. just did this little quiz. it's called: What Kind Of Seducer Are You? the address for it - http://www.blogthings.com/whatkindofseducerare
youquiz/ and yep. here:
You rank up there with your seduction skills, though you might not know it.
That's because you're a natural at seduction. You don't realize your power!
The root of your natural seduction power: your innocence and optimism.
You're the type of person who happily plays around and creates a unique little world.
Little do you know that your personal paradise is so appealing that it sucks people in.
You find joy in everything - so is it any surprise that people find joy in you?
You bring back the inner child in everyone you meet with your sincere and spontaneous ways.
Your childlike (but not childish) behavior also inspires others to care for you.
As a result, those who you befriend and date tend to be incredibly loyal to you.
Mood - alternating between sleepiness and sianzation..
Song - Theme Song - Mission impossible 3
Time - 12.57 A.M.
as of right now, this poor guy can't sleep. and so, someone is striking it lucky that she has this guy helping her dl and compress songs at the moment, lol. anyway, like i said earlier, congrats girl. attached liao hor. lol. ya. you now got someone to bitch your daily life and troubles to. so ya. less bitching to me. :) hehehehe..
anyway, haven't really been up to much this few days. just the normal stuffs. let's see. saturday. okay la. i was supposed to be at the UGC qualifiers at Ang Mo Kio, but well. lazy. so ya. in the end. slacked around with rain and tong at ps. xD and well, that, and a bit of wangan, ID, DOTA, battlefield 2. [ we went to this little lan cafe nearby prinsep street, so ya. ] i'm surprised. my skill is still okay, considering the fact that i havent really touched the game in quite a while. hahahahaha~~ but well. in any case, we caught the 1.30 AM movie. Casino Royale. w00ts!~ good one. also yet again, pls go watch it, ladies and gentlemen. LOL.
and ya. sunday. finally, i decided to pull up my socks that little bit more and go down hougang mall with my parents for the qualifiers. the map turned out to be Akina DH wet. and not to sound arrogant; but well. that wasn't much of a prob. managed to qualify for the stock category, but well. fucked up the tuned category. dammit. big mistake at the RHOD, if not. well. i would have gone in. so well, i'll have to wait till next week, where the qualifiers go to TPY. and hopefully, no fuck ups like this one, yea?
hai~ well. i'm at a loss of words. donno what i should do, or say. or even tink ba. ditto. but it's really like what the quiz in my earlier entries say. i have tried this, tried that, tried whatever possible and within my means. but nothing seems to work. frustrations, tensions and what have you of every sort imaginable to the human brain has really taken root in me. i'm tinking about you, day or night, rain or shine [ and yes, maybe snow. that is. if singapore ever snows. lol. lame -.- ] and what can i do about it? NOTHING. just like what the quiz says. tsk tsk.. oh well. night. like someone told me, not much use to tink so much also. so ya. zzz
Mood - Frustrated..
Song - Zhou Jie Lun - Xin Yu
Time - 08.16 A.M.
just woke up not long ago. i donno how to explain this, but i really can't explain and link how fucked up my life is with doing the same quiz one more time. lol. anyway;
Enough is enough - you feel frustrated and rejected. You are fighting back and the going is tough. It would be just wonderful if you could be left in peace.
All of your dreams and hopes have not materialised and consequently you are unsure of which way to go. This uncertainty has led to considerable stress but you have sufficient 'strength of mind' to overcome this state of affairs although it will take some time.
Nothing seems to be going right for you and you are thwarted every way you turn. You are not at all happy with the situation but it would appear that there is very little that you can do about it at this time. Sit back and let the situation take its course, because at this time you feel that there is nothing you can do to change whatever needs to be changed.
Whatever has caused the situation, you just don't seem to be able to sustain or maintain relationships as you would wish to. What you really seek is to be able to develop a relationship with someone with whom you can truly share: Love, Serenity, Peace and Quiet. But you are a very demanding person and it is your nature that leads to disquiet and discord: you are like the tide, flotsam and jetsam... One minute you experience 'highs' and a few moments later 'lows'. This obviously will introduce discord into any relationship and with this demanding attitude - the ideal state you desire is unable to develop. Despite the urge to gratify your natural desires, you impose a considerable self-restraint on your instincts in the belief that this demonstrates your superiority and raises you above the common herd. You are extremely critical of everything that is presently going on around you and you find it difficult to listen to or to take advice from anyone. You enjoy the original, the ingenious and the subtle.
The need for admiration and to be regarded as 'someone special' is perhaps one of the foremost aims in your life at this time. You would like to perhaps do something outrageous or anything that will give you the chance to be recognised as someone special. This desire has now almost become an obsession and in your own way you are trying to fulfil this 'complex' by ensuring you are the centre of attention, both at work or play, or in the home. Stop trying so hard and you will find that people will like you for who you are - not for who you are pretending to be.
those who are reading, feel free to comment. i could use the criticism. or praise. or whatever.
anyway, a update of the past few days.
Saturday -
well. finally, we cremated my ah ma. Mandai Crematorium/Colubarium [ think thats how it's spelled, lol ] Her ashes are now stored at the nearby Colubarium. Plot No. 0233. there's a story as to why this plot was chosen though. the 02 is for the day that when my grandpa passes on, his ashes will be placed together with ah ma so that they may continue their journey in the heavens together. the 33 is as that in chinese, we use this to denote the abundance of water and the presence of a nearby artifical "mountain" to help ensure that they have an abundance of whatever they may need up there. heh. and well. after the proceedings, it was too late for the UGC qualifiers, so no choice, straight to ps for a little game with leon. gladly got myself thrashed, 5-1. lol. oh well. n00b mah. so cannot blame. anyway, after that, straight to bugis i went. met up with rain and tong, played quite a few games before we left to eat steamboat. lol. $12 per person, i tink. anyway, thanks for the treat also, rain. the food is quite nice. but well. i only grouse the fact that there isn't any aircon there. lol. but well. after that. went down to cathy. caught the covenant. and yes, someone is kpkb - ing that i SLEPT THROUGH HALF THE MOVIE. LOL! seriously, paiseh. was abit tired + aircon and seat also so shiok. so zzz i went. lol. but well, did manage to see the show at one part or another la. okay la. but i still tink that they machiam renacting dragonball lidat. ending part the time. everyone starts playing around with semi - invisible balls. -_________- but other then that, give it a try guys. go watch ^^
Sunday -
out with parents bah. suntec city and all. met up with kazer for a few games of wangan. was intending to do whatever i could with regards to the LovE. R32. [ fucked it all up a few days later at jp. car got shaded at stage 65. and since i have no money and time to go chiong 5k mileage for 815hp, i tink i'll go back to my FD. ] well, it's ironic. since i fucked up my love life, the car gets fucked up as well. heh. and speaking of wangan, i will be stopping it for now. why? well. like what ah gong told me, you need to concentrate on one thing. can't really do two things at a time. and
i really want to get better in ID. so no choice. sacrifice wangan bah. oh well.
Wednesday -
okay la. i skipped monday and tuesday. but well. nothing much to blog about also. just to school from back. so ya. blog what? lol. anyway. yesterday's was ah gong's bird day. 18 years liao. lol. nothing much, just a quiet celebration at his house. compared to last year, this one sounds like a dead circus. apart from kazer and ah gong trying to gay me, nothing much to report, but i did blow like 30-40 bucks on drinks/cab fare/pizza hut for the birthday. lol. and at a time when every cent counts, i go pull this kind of stunt -.- hehe.. but it's worth it la. for a good friend like him, yeap. worth it. after that, took a bus down to jp. ID quite abit, and plenty of thanks to york for lending me quite a bit of money to play ba. will return asap. haha..~~
well. that's about it i guess.. till next time. out.
