There are a dozen of movies I was dying to watch during my hibernation. Lust...Hero...The Bee Movie.... But Enchanted was not included in my list. The very next day after my submission, I decided to watch a movie but due to the timing and venue, I could not catch any show that was in my list. Dear and I decided to watch Enchanted. The trailer seemed rather interesting, so why not?
It turned out that the show was really ENCHANTING!!!!!!!!!! Like every fairy tale, it has a happy ending and I LOVE HAPPY ENDINGS!!!!! Somehow, I forgot that it was a fairytale and when some of the stuffs were out of the world, I was shouting "Talk kok!", "Stupid!", "Crap!" Dear said I was really loud and crude. Oops. But I do enjoy the show ALOT. "If only I am the Princess" would be the wish of many girls I guess.
When I told Dear how much I liked the show, he said he fell asleep for a part of it but could not recall which part. I guess this kind of show is meant for girls only (and I mean GIRLS). So gals, if you want to watch this show, watch with the galfriends and you can go gugu gaga about it together. If not, be prepared for some cold water from the guy.
Enchanted 4.5* / 5*

Pessimism
Finally, submission is over!!! !!!
It has been a period of resent and fear. From the moment I started production (for presentation), I knew I was heading to Doom-Land. But it was too late for changes. Change now and it is a one-way ticket to Hell.
It is just human nature (or maybe it is just me) to make comparisons. The more I compared, the more worried I get. The fear of failure was dreadful. I even made plans to work next semester if I were to fail. Regrets overwhelmed me. I was prepared for the worst. There was a point where I simply thought of escaping reality by visiting the doctor.
After much courage and determination (or rather because I had no choice), I decided to face the music. The worst part was, I was the last victim to be judged. The fear and anxiety built up within me as I saw the others before me being scrutinized by the panel. When I started my presentation, I was surprised that I was actually rather calm and composed. In the end, the feedback given was useful and gave me some directions to my lost agenda. It was not as bad as I thought.
I guess this philosophy always works for me. I develop negative thoughts for something which may not really turn out as bad as I thought. I will tell myself to be mentally prepared and make plans for the worst. If the results turn out to be good, it gets really comforting. But if it is the vice versa, I will be able to accept the fact and move on with life. You can name this philosophy “Pessimism”. "Hope" is not in my dictionary. Somehow or rather, I guess I have learnt to exploit this ideology ever since the departure of Papa. This seemingly strong statue may just crumble to pieces when the hopes supporting this hollow façade are burst. “Pessimism” helps. I hope.

Please switch off your car engine
I saw these banners outside a provision shop in my neighbourhood quite some time ago but finally took pictures of them a few days ago when I went to tabao food from the food centre. Apparently, they were featured on Newpaper the day I saw them.
There is a 4D stall beside the provision shop. Apparently, many drivers (taxi drivers in particular) will park their cars without switching off the engine and queue up for 4D and Toto. The owners of the shops have given verbal warnings but none was heeded. Thus, these posters were up. Interesting.

Yellow Bumble Bee
I have a motto: Never take cabs other than Comfort, Citycab or Merc Cab.
However, there are times when I cannot afford to wait and I have no choice but to go against my principles.
Today is one of the 'lucky' days when I got into this Yellow Bumble Bee.
The moment I stepped into it, I knew I was in for a ride (and for goodness sake, I was on my way to Tuas i.e. at least 20minutes ride!!!). I thought I have been in old taxis before but I never knew that such antiques still exist in Singapore. I tried not to breathe hard as I did not want to inhale the dirt within the cab. I did not even put on the seat belt as I was worried that it might stain my clothes.
Its interior was the most 'lok' I have ever seen in cabs. The interior of the doors was covered in plastic cover and the left back passenger seat was ripped (I supposed that was because most people would usually sit on the left back seat).
And like most antique cabs, the 'bell' will start ringing once its speed is over 80km/h. Once it was on AYE which comprises at least half of the journey, I was overwhelmed by this ringing sound. The funny thing is: the driver kept nodding while he was driving, as if enjoying the melody of the 'bell'.
The sound created when he tapped signal was one that I have never heard before and I find it hard to describe it too. It resembles the sound of the pendulum ornament (when you lift up the pendulum at one end, it will hit the rest and the pendulum on the other end will be lifted up). But the sound of the signal was rustier. Bell harmonised by pendulum. What a melody!
Towards the end of the exploration, another discovery was found: a cassette player.
When I was about to reach my destination, a thought came to me: Does this cab have a receipt printer? I was pretty negative. As expected, the uncle took out a memo-pad look-alike and issued me a receipt.
Though the ah-beng-looking uncle seemed rather unkempt and had dandruffs (saw it when he bent down his head while issuing the receipt), he was very humble and friendly. I guess that was the only comforting thing of the whole cab journey.
This trip reaffirmed my principles. I called for a Comfort cab on the way back home.

Picture Personality Test
Temperament
Cosmopolitan
When you wake up in the morning, you set out to impress and to make a lasting impression on those who you encounter. You surround yourself with all the right people and right things - making you a real trendsetter. Others admire and want to be just like you. Second best will not do - it's the best (and only the best) for you. You are attentive to detail in yourself, your surroundings and your social circle.
Interests
Thrill Seeker
You are interested in anything that is exciting and pleasurable. You're not afraid to indulge yourself - you live by your own set of rules and don't allow yourself to get hung on what others think. For the most part, you are independent and do whatever you please to do. Trying to stop you from doing something only makes you want it even more. At the end of the day - you live for life's most thrilling moments.
Amusement
Adventurous
It's a good thing that you are filled with energy and ambitions (that others sometimes find exhausting) because you're continually looking for a new adventure and exciting experience. You struggle with a continual feeling of restlessness which constantly pushes you to the next level of excitement. Once you have accomplished one thing, you are eager to accomplish something more exciting, riskier and distinguishable.
Passion
Physical
You are a cuddle bug - from a warm hug shared with your best friend to steamy sex with your partner, you enjoy every bit of human contact that you can get. You demonstrate your love for others most fluidly through physical one-on-one contact and you feel the most loved when you are being touched. You feel disconnected when you are physically isolated from others. You're a people person and a lover of all things human.
Accuracy 75%

The Power of Sarcasm
Today is the day when Amei will hold her world tour concert in Indoor Stadium. I am supposed to be part of the audience. But all thanks to a bloody fucker, I shall miss it.
I wanted to get a pair of tickets but only single seats were left. Thus, I decided to try my luck in yahoo auction and Ebay. Thankfully, there was a seller who had tickets for sale. I managed to contact him and it was a deal.
He said he was mugging for exams now. Thus, he would prefer to meet up at NUS or his place i.e. Hume Park. Since he lives quite near to Dear's place, we decided to meet at his place. On the day when we were supposed to meet up, he called me and asked if I wanted to buy 3 tickets instead as it would be hard to sell of that extra one after selling me a pair. I said I will try to find another one to go and get back to him by 3pm. In the end, I couldn't find one more person to go. I messaged him that I will just get a pair and asked what time we can meet that night.
He did not reply till around 7+pm and his reply drove me to madness. He said he had sold all 3 tickets to another person!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!! You have promised to sell me 2 tickets and without giving me any notice, you simply sold all tickets to another person!!!!! How could you do this?!?!?!?!? I messaged him but he did not reply. I got Dear to call him but he said he was in a meeting and would call back at 1030pm. I thought it was an excuse and he would not call back. But to our surprise, he called back!!! And I bet he must have regretted it.
Dear: Hi is this M******? Hi thanks for calling back.
Fucker: Yeah
Dear: I thought you were supposed to sell us the 2 tickets for $155 right? But how could you have sold it to another person?
Asshole: Well that person happened to turn up in front of me so I sold them to him.(so your friend is David Copperfield?)
Dear: But how could you do that? We had a verbal agreement.
Motherfucker: He's also a close friend of mine.
Dear: Ok, but again, we had a verbal agreement and that is considered legal-binding too. How could you break that promise?
Prick: I know it's legal but i have to take care of my own interests. And promises are meant to be broken.
(This irresponsible sentence enraged the fire burning within Dear. It was time to go on the sarcastic offensive, no love lost, no punches pulled.)
Dear: Hey what's your e-mail again? Slacker*****? Clearly an adequate reflection of your personality.
Bastard: Thank you.
Dear: At least you should have let us know in advance instead of letting us wait in anticipation. If I'm right, I believe you are studying in NUS right?
Cunt: No la no la, I only study till P6.(from earlier conversations, remember the cunt said that he would prefer to meet up in NUS or his place as he was mugging for his exams now?)
Dear: That's so sad, afraid to admit that you're an undergrad. I'm so sad for the S'pore education system in producing a student like you who's afraid to admit his own educational qualifications.
Dumbass: Then u can go complain to the MOE.
Dear: Oh no, that's not what I'll do. If I'm able to, I would wanna meet up with your parents to let them know what their son is up to, having studied so much and still has not shown any character developments. It's such a shame on your part, and sad for your parents.
(The idiot, probably unable to deal with such a tirade of sarcastic comments thrown at him and not being able to reply intelligently, decided to hang up the phone.)
Dear then called the asshole again but he was probably shitting in his pants and was unable to answer the phone. We then decided to message the cunt."Ballless creature of abomination. May you fail your university education u P6 retainee."As expected, he did not have the balls to reply. And I am so glad I have Dear. My original intentions was for him to throw all kinds of vulgarities at that cunt (which is also another forte of Dear). But he chose to go sarcastic instead which turned out to be so much more effective!!! BRAVOOOOOO!!!!!!! THREE CHEERS FOR DEAR DEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But I still won't be able to see Amei tonight. =......(
