Damn it...
I felt a certain unease the whole day... I kept asking myself why.. I knew there is something I wanted to do but I forgot to do...
Or is it something I wanted to watch but I forgot to watch...
Something that I look forward to so badly and I kind of miss it...
And I finally remember it at 5pm today what I missed!!! WTF!!! I am totally gutted!!!
4 full days after the event and I just only remembered!!!
I forgot to watch S-Factor Finale on Sunday!!!
Told u... Damn it!!!

there's something about ..... everything anything
I have been so busy... new company, new directions, launches, lunches, meetings... plus family committments, plus planning to sell house, buy house...plus bejeweled blitz in FB...
So you could imagine blogging kinda take a back seat.
So this is like a multiple blogpost combined into 1.
********
So Mas Selamat is found in JB. It's not like we dunno he is there. We have always suspected, JB always have that "selamat datang" or Welcome Selamat.
One thing I don't like about this capture is the constant reminder that it was US who tipped the Malaysians, it was due to our fantastic intelligence from our ISD.. blah blah blah... US.. US... US...
It's like after we make such a stupidity mistake that allows a terrorist to escape, we have to emphasise to everyone that we are not stupid afterall.
Of course, "Improvised Flotational Device". The government just need to emphasise again how smart we are to have help with the capture of Mas Selamat, we have to show our intelligence by naming a low-end-discarded-rubbish with a high end cheem cheem name. So a rubbish became a device.
Excellent.
But seriously, that name is just a smokescreen to show how inept our shoreline patrolling is. We have to say something sophisticated to give credit to Mas Selamat, that something so "jungle warfare", that Mas selamat is smarter than our Police. It's that reason why Mas Selamat could swim across the sea without being detected.
It's not the police fault, it's because of such a fantastic device that we could not be able to detect him.
So we have to use such high tech name.
You could imagine the Home Affairs having a ministerial meeting to brainstorm a word for the rubbish.

Recently, due to my new work environment, I have been shopping regularly at G2000. Shopping at G2000 is like buying shares in stock market.
You see, like Giordano, shopping at these 2 brands require precise timing, to achieve maximum savings. At any time, when you walk away with a merchandise from G2000 happily thinking that you have purchased at the bottom, the market plunged further.
And because of that, you average down your losses, by buying in more. And again the market dipped. And you buy in more.
Real life example:
3 weeks ago, I bought a business jacket. The original retailing is like $219. They had a promotion at $199 plus.. they give you a matching trousers that is worth $79 for free.
Therefore, your so call "gain" or discount is 33%. $199/$298
2 weeks ago, they have a 30% storewide on business pants and shirts. So I bought 2 more of the matching pants to my suits at 30% discount.
Last week, the store got 40% discount on the shirts plus if you use UOB card, you get additional 25% off the final bill. Plus if you spend above $100, you can get the jacket at 50% off the retailing price.
Total spent before last week = $199+110.6 = $309.6
If I buy last week = 3 pants (including the 'free one) at $79 * 40% = $142.2
Jacket = $219 * 50% = $109
Total = $251.2 * 25% (uob) = $188.4
Total lost in 2 weeks = 121.1 or about 40% loss.
I know how Temasek feels right now.

Not too often you can say a TCS actress spread her legs in front of you. I can now say Jeannette Aw did that in front of me, with a very satisfied look. Somewhere in the 6th second of the advert.

I want to marry the cashier girl from NTUC. If NTUC do not give me her contact number, I will sue them for misrepresentation. No where in AMK Hub NTUC, can I find a cashier so pretty. They make me go NTUC so often in search of the girl, and subconsciously buy groceries from them, where otherwise I could have bought from Shengxiong.

there's something about ..... $40
It's not alot of money.
You can spend it on a meal.
You could watch 2 movies with your love one over 2 weekend.
You could spend a night at Hotel 81.
It's not enuff to purchase the cheapest concert ticket, but I don't think the best concert could provide the kind of entertainment the AWARE EGM could provide you.
Seriously, looking at the crowd. I see alot of kay poh people who just want to witness the saga more than the interest in the direction of AWARE. In other words, it's like watching a show.
You see people jeer and cheer and doing the Kallang wave. I mean, those jeers and cheers reminded me of the days of Malaysia Cup. You could almost see the glee on these people when they were jeering the "opposition".
Sometime u just wonder.
The only wrong thing the ex-new-guard did was to plan for the coup. You can't really fault them on their intention, which is, to steer the direction of AWARE back to where they thought it was previously.
They could have voiced this up during AGM, make this an issue via proper channel, and no one would probably feel that their point of views were wrong.
And now, everyone feels that their point of view is flawed.
Since when did Singaporeans became so pro-lesbian and pro-homosexual? I dun think they are. I dun think most would give a damn really.
But the manner in which the old guard was "ousted", created a saga and everyone became interested on the saga itself. Not on the issues.
They took sides because they felt the old guard was being bullied out. They took sides because they think Thio Su Mien was arrogant. Not really because they think that anti-gay was wrong, not pro-gay was right.
The surge in memberships feels more like a entrance ticket to witness the saga. It's worth every cent of it.
These same people who signed up over the weekend will most probably not care about AWARE 3 months later.
Just a thought... what if... it's really just a show. The old guard and the new guard had planned this to create awareness and memberships. What if.
