Afriad of the dark

I Know I should be sleeping but I wanted this to be freshly typed out as I'm thinking of it now.

Remember how when you were a kid, the darkness would just consume you? Your mind starts to run amok and you start to imagine all the possible places that those monsters and ghouls may be hiding at. Waiting to scare you, or most likely eat you.

Its weird, I lie on my bed hearing the ceiling fan whirl and all I can think about is how freakishly difficult life is. You have to deal with people you dont like, a job you might hate, a love-life that wont give you a break and you keep wondering where's your next pay check coming from. Now that's scary.

Ironic how I'm typing this in the dark. This is what Monday does to you. It's double the pain if your life is mundane.

Must. update. blog. for. no. apparent. reason.

Uggh, done.

As usual

The last time I saw you, you turned away.

I said "hello", but you kept on walking...

Calculating... ... (2)

Concerning my previous post here about which two-wheeled vehicle I am planning on getting, I've been looking at my bank book and been doing up the finances once again (insurance, transfer fees, road tax, machine cost etc).

When I'm sleeping, I dream of myself riding this.



When I'm awake, I consider riding this.



When I'm on the porcelain throne doing my daily business, and I brood over that yours truly is jobless, am potentially not going to be an undergrad anytime soon and I'm under 21. I definitely am and will forever (if forever is equivalent to 3 years) be riding this.

cost efficient much?

The one with the fives and sevens

Thursday has arrived, Wednesday will be back next week,
BRING ON THE FRIDAY!

Edit: An hour on after publishing the above, I begin to realise the irony. I stay at home everyday, so technically... everyday's a Friday, or a weekend. It's all good.

Three months on.

Maybe it's just me being pathetic but I don't enjoy listening to songs that remind of us especially when you're just meters away.

But so long as you're happy I guess. Enjoy your life.

Okay, this was just a sad excuse to show you a well-taken and shopped photo.

Come Walkabout

You know that "Come Walkabout" Australia ad you see on TV? The one with the blonde executive walking about in the rain on her cell, then the scene changes to her swimming in the canyons in Australia.

Towards the end of the ad, it says "She arrived as Ms K Mathieson, Executive VP of Sales."

Then the final scene was of her staring off screen, with the catch, "She departed as Kate."



Wow. It's just emotional. It makes you wonder if she had gotten fired while on holiday.

In the news today

Usually the Sunday paper is pretty boring. But today's stories are pretty interesting.

My top stories pick:

• Female teens who want to turn into models via Clubsnap photoshoots, and how I personally think that these photographers are quite buaya. (Haha!)
  

• LKY's daughter contributing an opinion piece. (This one is a must read)
  

• Children who don't do the housework. (One of the interviewees is an MCM student, and looks like he could use the extra exercise)

• And lots of stories on how rich people are still enjoying life. E.g Private LIFTS in their mansions, spending over $750k on renovations.

Oh, to the lady who built the lift in her home. She mentioned that when she grows old, the lift will come in handy so she won't need to climb the stairs in her home. That's HER solution.

Now you might say I'm bitter and sore that I wish my family was as well-off. But here's my suggestion.

1. Sell off the house.
2. Give your money to the kids to burn, and buy a HDB.

So you won't have to climb stairs. Oh, and you get to share lifts that might be shit-filled and vomit-ridden from time to time. =D

A quick conversation

This is an actual conversation between two Secondary 2 girls.

Girl 1: Eh, if a durian or a coconut fell on you. Which one would be hurt more?

Girl 2: MY HEAD LA! *walks away briskly.

I've been working at the airport as an Airport guide (not the most glamourous of jobs but it pays well) for a good 5 days now and frankly, I hate the place. Maybe it's because my post is at Departure or maybe it reminds me of how stuck I am on this little island we call Singapura. I see men and women in suits going towards the business class check-in counters and leaving past immigration and I even see a few familiar faces return if I'm posted at Arrival.

Then I wonder to myself, "How the fuck do I get to be like them?" It's bad enough that already I'm having a hard time planning my course of action for possibly the next 10 years.

It sucks when I'm barely 20 and I'm trying to come up with a lifeplan. So at one point, while helping a passenger figure out how to get to the Coffee Bean, a revelation. Money.

That's the definition of planning for the future in this country means. Money.

Plain and simple.

You get money from having a career (businessman recommended). Careers leads to having money. You bills NEED money. Your house, your car, your daily necessities, your need to provide for a family. All requires money.

I guess for a country that has a land mass of less than 300 sq miles, money is as simple as you can get to measure your damn worth.

If you can secure a good and regular income, and know how to save and invest, chances are, you're halfway home.

But a little luck goes a long way as well. If let's say, for some uncanny reason you just keep finding yourself stuck in a rut. Well, I guess that's tough luck. You can go about a million and one ways (I'm currently at my 2,074th way) to make your life a little better, but middle-class will just be as high as you can get. It's vicious cycle, thats why it's called a rut.

So if you're Singaporean (or are from any country for that matter, cause I know some Finnish people do read my blog), can you honestly say "money isn't everything"?



Heck, what the hell do I know. I'm just an airport guide.

Just for fun

Which one will you be?
