TEAM!

today i was reminded of something i found in the business school canteen in TP.

one day when i was eating there with my friends, i found a curious phrase scrawled on the table:

there is no 'I' in DRAGONBOAT, only 'US'

i had the best laugh of my life.

D   R   A   G   O   N   B   O   A   T

i don't see a 'US' in there.. do you?

this brings the image of 'jock' to a whole new level.

upon closer inspection, the words were actually carved on the table with what looked to be a sharp object - perhaps the jocks responsible had no other avenue to unleash their fearsome and deadly strength from the hours of pumping iron and turning their brains into tough muscle.

either way, it was a testament to the fantastic and awe-inspiring intellect jocks had which puts us geeks and nerds to shame.

i didn't take a picture of it because my trusty N73 died on me that day (That was before i got my eyefoan).

i'm gonna look for it again tomorrow.

a totally awesome beetle flew into my room yesterday, and i found it dead next to a lizard transformer just now.

coincidence? i think not.

i caught some pictures of the cold, still body before laying it to rest on my windowsill. (no animals or insects were harmed in the photoshoot - it was already dead.)

to all you fellas out there who wished my mother well and prayed for her through this operation, she just returned home from the op and is resting. the piles are settled but the chest pains are still undetermined.

thanks ya'all.

my father noticed two of my transformers yesterday.

he noticed Optimus Primal and Megatron - the first 2 transformers that i ever had - Primal was from my dad when he went to the USA, and Megatron from my mother from MPH Bookstores (when it was still there) in Parkway Parade.

i recently bought them both again - finally completing the set of what i had when i was younger (before the transformers Holocaust.)

both were from when Beast Wars first aired in 1996.

Optimus Primal.

Megatron.

he asked how much they were - and i told him.

later on that night, i treated my family to dinner using the money i earned while working. however, when i went to the ATM, the line was horrendous - and so we went to eat first.

my dad paid first after we were done, and i intended to withdraw the cash and pay him.

my mother and sister went to the supermarket to buy some groceries, while my dad followed me to the ATM.

when i was about to withdraw the cash and return it to him, he told me it wasn't necessary - and to take it as payment for Optimus Primal and Megs ("the gorilla and dinosaur toys").

despite my gentle protest, he told me to keep the money.

miracles certainly do happen - and wonders never cease.

my mother has recently been suffering from Piles, otherwise known as Hemorrhoids (click here to read more about it).

she is scheduled to go for a checkup on monday and an operation on thursday.

also, she has been suffering from chest pains and what she suspects might be mild heart attacks (God forbid) during the week.

i suddenly feel miserable after realising that despite everything, my mother's still my mother - the one who raised me and cared for me for 9 months when i was a burden.

without her, my life would be miserable and lonely.

who fed me when i was in her womb?

who held my hand as i took my first steps?

who picked me up when i fell down and dusted off my skinned knees?

who covered me with my blanket when i kicked them off during the wee hours of the morning when i was younger?

how can i hope to even live comfortably without my mother?

i dont see why anyone has a good reason to feel emo unless their mother is at risk of dying, seriously.

isnt this the single most emo frame you've seen in a comic?

Zombie Dreamz.

i had another zombie dream last night - except that these zombies were different.

they retained their human intellect and memories, which made for some dangerous, cunning and deceptive zombies.

i became a zombie too. @_@

being a zombie feels.. kinda awesome. especially when you're with your friends.

HAHAHAHAHA.

being stuck in orchard road in the time of a zombie apocalypse is a bad, bad thing.. especially when you're around a group of people that can recognise you cuz they've known you for years. once a fella's bitten, he'll hunt the rest down.

fyi, they bit me, and not the other way around.

specifically, bryan chan and andrew bit me.

Moolah Gone

i recently recieved my phone bill - and it amounted to $112.45.

yes, you read that right.

all hell broke loose, and i thought it was all a bad dream - granted, there would be some miscellenous charges since i just changed my line not too long ago, but the reason it even went above sixy bucks was the FORTY FIVE DOLLAR charge for 8 megs' worth of data usage.

THATS FIVE BUCKS A MEG!

upon further investigation, i found that those crazy fools over at singtel automatically enabled 3G internet connection on my iphone and happily filled in the connection name, username and password even though nothing of the sort was requested.

when i connected to the net and got apps/fixes for my iphone, or even accidentally logged on, i got charged for every single moment of it!

worse still, the bill was for only 10 days' worth of usage since i got my iphone - 13th to 25th September.

i fear the worst for my next bill.

goodbye, paycheck. i appreciate having known you..

CMONNNN singtel! wasn't the XEDO saga demeaning enough to your reputation?!

(yes, i'm aware there's nothing but a infinitely miniscule chance singtel will actually read that statement but im including it for dramatic effect.)

Watch and Weep.

DBZ: The Movie (2009)

NO krillin.

what is this @!#$%@#?!??!

Worst Day Of My Life.

I got dragged off from my birthday celebration to celebrate SOMEONE ELSE'S birthday.

fantastic day.

best day of my life.

perfect.

Zombie Survival

i spent the whole of yesterday night finishing the Zombie Survival Guide (link here!) by Max Brooks.

i dreamt of a second zombie invasion in the schleep following that.

contrary to the book, hdb blocks are a BAAAAAAAAAAAAD place to be in a zombie invasion..

especially on the 16th floor.

what are the chances?

sleep, being the brother of death, brings about a temporary escape to dreamland where its your world, your rules, and more importantly, where none of your sadness would exist in a coporeal form.

Beer sucks!

one day, if ian cheng ever willingly consumes beer or any kind of alcoholic beverage (excluding communion wine), please kill him because that isn't the real ian.
