Step Aside Mr Martin! Here Comes the Real 'Banger'!

Farewell To A Very Good Friend Whom I Knew Not Too Long Ago

Ann, Min Min and Jolene

Have you ever had a 'king kong' for a friend before? the kind that doesnt climb the trees, whang the chest or eat only bananas for dinner? literally. (Aside to Ms Kong, kindly read on and don't start tearing out your hair and curse yet)

Alright alright, i am only trying my best to insinuate. i know what a king kong is suppose to look like. maybe 10 feet tall and has a heaving chest plus a palm huge enough for a deglutition of a human's entire skull. but it so happens that i have a friend whom i always call 'king kong' but she is kinda exact polar to what i had just describe. i think she only measures 5 feet plus, doesnt have a huge palm, and CERTAINLY doesnt have a heaving chest to swank!! she also can't do 'skull crashers' on people although her boyfriend's truck can. so beware!

Shannon and Min Min

i knew this friend as a colleague months ago where i'm currently working. her first impression to me wasn't very impressively wonderful. in fact the person who caught my attention first was her fellow colleague and gd friend. her voice and laughter can travel for miles and it is hard to disregard even if you are sitting at the other side of the office ( you know who you are ). but 'king kong' was definitely earlier than the other colleague of hers ( you know who you are too) when she acknowledged my pressence as the 'new guy in town'. we will be touching on a new post for the other 2 individuals i just talked about later on.

my acquaintanceship with my pet kong was enhanced to another level on our first KTV night out with other friends as well. Apart from crooning out songs, we didnt fail to share interesting conversations and non life-threatening bickers. she conked out easily after only 2 hours into the session as well unlike the rest of us with plenty left in the tank. mind you, no alcohol was even involved in the first place!

subsequent ktv sessions then became kind of a norm and who can forget when kong walked me down the asphalt seeking a transport back home in the wee hours just 2 weeks ago. she paid for my bus trip as my pennies and ez link card were depleted also. well, this kong is richer than me for sure. thank you kong, if you didnt leave me behind for another friend of ours in a half hour binge session, i would have been spending so much more on a straight cab back home. i am absolutely grateful.

So dear friends out there, it is always nice to have a kong for a friend coz i have one. the altruism my kong has is amazing. despite the fact that 'conflicts' might arise sometimes, please remember that i treat these bickers as bond strengtheners between us as well. these pettyfoggeries only serve to feed my insatiable desire to poke fun into you. i promise that i will definitely send a request to Mr Zookeeper for your early release so that i can have you as my pet. So keep your fingers crossed!

Ann and Jolene

Finally, on a personal and non 'offensive' note to Ms Jolene, its been a great experience and ride with you for the past few months. please remember you are very unique to me as you are the only kong i can really relate my feelings and thoughts to with no holds barred. As such, i would like to wish you all the best as you embarked on a whole new chapter of your life. May your future career and relationships of the heart blossom and burgeon! enjoy 'chopping more passports' huh!!

Who knew a King Kong can be so pretty and attractive until i met Jolene Wong......

Yes, i'm a lone wolf

Today is not the best of days to say the least. i had an aching neck, coupled with a sore right eye due to the dryness i experienced with my contact lenses. damn! maybe its time for lasik. i went to work earlier by 30 minutes and i struggled to keep my eyes opened, still suffering from the after effects of the pink pill i popped for a flu that haunted me for 2 nights. (an award for employee of the month for me pls??)

well, things couldnt get any rougher than the earthquake that hit China this morning. maybe close. my right eyelid was twitching a little and i sensed an admonition. there can only be 2 scenarios. Scenario A - its gonna be a bad day for me ahead. Scenario B - i may picked up some money along the way??

the next thing i knew was i received an email from a fellow colleague. lets name her Bee. Bee hasn't really been the most cooperative and accomodating colleague i had ever worked with. in fact, she suck. notice that the word 'suck' doesnt come in past tense? coz she still sucks now. sic. she doesnt read my correspondence for help completely and gave me incomplete replies. such incomplete replies doesnt garner a positive response from my agent ( aka client ). so what do i do? i told my agent to speak to Bee directly. sometimes people like Bee needs a push ( or a BIG BOOT ) to their freaking butt to get them moving or else they would be so lay back in their comfortable seats, reluctant to move their arse to work.

but what i got in return was an excoriation that questions my work ethnics, integrity and the hard work i put in. i don't blame my maltreater, rather i see Bee as the perpetrator who drove this campaign. see, if anybody needs to take a visit to Tartarus with Hades as the tour guide, i would propose Bee without a shadow of a doubt.

the blame game took me a little by surprise but i didnt offer much of a retaliation because of 2 reasons. one, i was rushing for time to pick my gf from work. two, i somehow felt it wouldnt work because people at the top of the hierarchy wouldnt look down at you and say ' good job ' when its due. rather they prefer to defecate on your head.

i am glad a few friends of mine supported me when i was down, especially my buddy Elfie (yes, she is a lady) , Vera and William. i really appreciate your concern. but just to let you guys know, much as i respect all of you, i would prefer to face and fight this battle myself. thank you very much!













this is Elfie. sorry Vera and WIll, i will post your pics once i have them.

btw, just in case you forgot, i had Scenario A today.....

Amazing Video, Amazing Chicks

What a video!!!

A message to a very good friend and colleague of mine

Recently i lent my ears to a friend of mine gushing out her woes to me about the difficulties she is currently experiencing with this guy whom she just got together for less than a month i believe. the conversation started when i was on a half hour journey back home and it lasted for a good 90 minutes. i kind of lost track of time as i was too deep into pondering about how a solution can be excogitated to help her. her sniffings over the other side of the phone hinted that she had done a good deal of weeping as well. it made me feel kind of lost as i'm not the best person who can do the best job in consolation. all i can offer is silence and a tinge of advice from a man's (or boy's) perspective.

i had been following my buddy's tale for the longest time. from the day she knew this man to the day they got together. i must say her experience wasn't rosy to began with. this guy doesn't behave like wat a man of pure refinement should behave. he doesnt send her home after a movie (even though its reaching 12 midnight) and he cracked the most incomprehensible and insensitive joke. Cmon! she is not asking a 21st century SNAG here. her boyfriend went for a vacation without her and she was left wondering in Singapore when he is gonna be coming back. he metamorphose into GOD mode when he was reveling in a foreign land but hibernation mode when back. and to top it all off, he hasn't been in touch with her for the past few days. MIA? beats me....

with a touch of coincidence, i happened to be babbling away with another buddy of mine not too many days ago and she related to me how this ex-boyfriend of hers had avoided her and her calls. her refuge to his 'mysterious' disappearance? she gathered a few good buddies for a night reconnaissance and eventually found him at the void deck of his flat. confrontation turned into a night of absolute heartbreak and 2 months of heal time. reason for the dissolution? the guy didnt want to commit a future with her.

but taking a look at my friend today, i strongly believe she made a right choice. now, she is with a man who knows how to take care and love her. she basks in joy at her newfound happiness and she is truly enjoying herself!

hence, to this friend of mine who is undergoing loads of pitfalls in this relationship. you can definitely obviate this guy away from your life as there are plenty of other options available. do not waste yourself away coz it is really silly for you to do so. whatever it is, your buddy here will always stand by you!!

What is the meaning of 'Leave'?

somebody out there please kindly remind me what does taking leave mean to you?

to rest? to settle personal issues? to take a break from work? to spend quality time with your love ones?

apparently, some tediously inane people do not understand the meaning of LEAVE?

you see, i have an awful load of frustrations bottled up inside me, waiting to be unloaded on the next unlucky person if he or she is gonna piss me off with their irresponsibilities and senseless actions. the untouchable fears no repercussions!!

consider yourself warned!!!!

The courtship of a skinny ah beng and a beautiful lady

i have a story about a boy and a girl to tell tonight and it aint any modern day fairytale. it doesnt encompass any clock tower chiming at the exact 12 nor does it elaborates how a princess osculates a cool skin frog to give her the happy ever after. instead it delineate the delicate love shared by 2 individuals who never thought they would ever be together in the first place. the story's origination chronicles from a humble school in Singapore.

it all happens one day, a skinny 'ah beng wannabe', saw this school mate at the foyer. the scene still deeply etched in his mind and it simply blows him away everytime he recalls. standing no further than 10 feet away from him was the most mesmerizing and gorgeous lady he had ever seen. she is a stranger to him and he knew he had to have her number. he wanted to know her but he wondered if the lady felt otherwise. its now or never if he didnt want this chance to slip off his hands. he sought the help of another friend and thank heavens, he was successful.

he had a conversation or 2 with the girl but she wasnt impressed. a step further for the both of them seem inconceivable. the lady felt that this boy lacks the chemistry and the charisma to her liking. the boy realised defeat was on the cards. they lost contact for a few months but fate decided to lend a hand. what a helping gesture indeed. during the days when the boy was giving 2 and a half years of his time to national security, he seek the help of the lady to get him his academic credentials. it ultimately leads to the first 'unorthodox' date they had. not exactly a date i would say. he didnt carry flowers nor brought her to the movies. hell, he had no money to spare on such lavishness. all he had were the petty dimes for quick photo-shoots known as neo-prints and the endless efforts to indite paperworks that promulgates the love he had for her.

he yearned for her. yes he did. he rejoiced when he was given permision by his superior to call her from taiwan when he was serving the country. he didnt have any pictures of her in the wallet. he missed her so much and the feeling was unbearable. every ballad played in his cd player reminded him of what he needed to do first thing when he is back in Singapore. he needed to declare his love,yes. the silence and serendity of the jungles in Taiwan cleared his mind and the scent of the vegetation woke up his senses.

he asked her out for a movie at Suntec City and they watched a show called 'Resident Evil' together. what an imbecile! asking a girl out to watch such horrific production. midway through, he knew its now or never. he needed to summon the courage he had never did before. her hands are just there for him to hold. will she reject him? rejection hurts, he knew. but what about 'regret'? regret is a poison a thousand times more potent than rejection. he swallowed the pill of bravery and touch her hand. the sensation was electrifying. he caressed her pinky and there was a response. she turn her head and gave a heart-warming smile. they held their hand tighter. they knew they will be holding their hands together from then on. that familiar smile was the most beautiful gift she had given him on that fateful day. that fateful day was 6th April 2002.

they had travelled through thick and thin together. there were tears and felicity that they could written into a book. but nonetheless, the boy knew all these hadnt come easy. he must safeguard the love both of them shared for the many many years to come. the memories they shared are gifts they gave to each other. they created somethng special between them out of nothingness. the boy was just glad that he didnt fall prey to Monsieur Regret. today marks the day the boy and girl spent 8 years of their lives together. he wishes to dedicate this piece of work to his one and only love he will ever have. he knew that there will be many more 8 years for them but he is prepared. coz he knew their love can carry them through. definitely!

That boy is Kenny and the girl is Peishan.

Welcoming myself to my blog

yes folks, blogs are like a thing of the past and yet i am only beginning to roll out my accounts now...

you see, previously i had been writing in another site of mine which i created wholly from HTML and it ain't the easiest task to accomplish given the fact that i am no IT or programming geek. i had always wanted to write about anything and everything under the sky and i feel that blogging could possibly be the only alternative to people like me. No Holds Barred!

well, the first step is always the hardest to take but i am handling it pretty fine rite now.

and so the shouting begins.....
