At times I dun even know who I am. <o:p></o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal>There was a time where I believed that I could be myself, no mask, no pretending, just being myself through and through… and then I realized just how naïve I was. There’s no such thing as being yourself, there’s always roles to fit in , characters to act out. Even when you’re alone, you try to be the person which you want to be and not the person you really are.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal>*tired<o:p></o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal>I’ve been in limbo for the longest time, over the one issue that can make or break it all. I still cannot make the decision and sooner or later, something will come along and force my hand. My decision will be something which a lot of people cannot accept, but they are not me, how they even start to comprehend how I feel? I’ve been playing many roles and I know my limits, that particular role is something which I cannot excel in, I’m just not made out for it. <o:p></o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal>Evolution has its way of weeding out the weak.

When it's normal priced, I find EDC clothes abit too ex, I just can't fork out 50 bucks for a tee, it's way too much. But after a few month, they would mark down the price and how can I resist a EDC tee going for 20 bucks?!<br>So mei and I went over to Esprit last weekend and spend almost 200 bucks.. hai.. we just cannot resist sales.<p>Evil No. 2: Nail Polish websites<br>This is bad, very bad.. I got introduced to a few great sites like Scrangie and Polish Mayhem.. I dunno where they get the time to try out so many nail polishes!!! And all of them are like so nice! And since ah dear is going to US soon, I'm preparing my nail polish shopping list already :p there's just too many to buy and I dun have enough space to keep them all!<p>Evil No. 3: The Paper Market<br>Now this is just pure evil.. first the catchy name, Paper Market.. Paper Market, it must sell paper! I'm always wary of scrapping supply stores, I dun wanna start something which I cannot stop, crystals are bad enough, but scrapping?! I'm thankful they have so much supplies then I sorta got lost and decided to give up. <br>Scrapping materials are not cheap and my crystal hobby is already a pretty pricey one.<br>And then this Paper Market comes up, right next to the escalator at Raffles City! How can I not go in?? How can I resist all the stickers and papers and cute little stuff!!Jaycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05571939018507704125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13041113.post-10187079245173533712009-09-22T18:46:00.001+08:002009-09-22T18:46:09.240+08:00No to LUPMy house is up for upgrading and we agreed to say NO to LUP (Lift Upgrading Program). <p>Simple reason:<br>1. I dun want the house to be dusty for the next say 1~2 years.<br>2. The renovation will disturb Scruffy's afternoon nap.<br>3. Why should I pay for someone else's mistake? There's supposed to be lifts on every single floor as a fire safety rule, if "someone" conveniently forgets about it, is that my problem? <p>So there, no I do not want lift upgrading, please don't come disturb my life and I am NOT going to pay for YOUR mistake.Jaycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05571939018507704125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13041113.post-10351713103307169672009-08-26T17:57:00.001+08:002009-08-26T17:57:18.309+08:00TrustIt's not easy to build and it's easy to be destroyed.<p>After all that had happened, it's really hard for me to trust again. In the first place, I never really like the idea of trusting people, bad experience in the past had made me trust no one but myself.. But sooner or later, I have to learn to trust someone again and I've decided that he's worth my trust.. Guess my judgment wasn't fantastic and he had disappointed me time and again.<p>I can forgive but I cannot forget what had happened. I just cannot trust him as much as I did in the past..<p>I dun think he understands that.. I think he have no idea why I was so pissed last night. Just 2 weeks ago he lied to me about going to Sentosa with his friend, does he seriously expect me to believe that he went to Sentosa with his friends yesterday? And he could not even bother to call me if I had not called him. <p>Then he stayed out late without even bothering to inform me about it. For all I know, he could have died on the way home, but what do I know?<p>I dunno what to say, I dunno what to think. If he cannot understand how I feel, that I think there's no point in apologizing coz it's just empty words. I dun need apologies, I need action and I'm not seeing anything.Jaycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05571939018507704125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13041113.post-44705897768850801222009-08-14T12:56:00.001+08:002009-08-14T12:56:31.943+08:00Don't SpeakYou and me, we used to be together <br>Everyday together always <br>I really feel that I'm losing my best friend <br>I can't believe this could be the end <br>It looks as though you're letting go <br>And if it's real, well I don't want to know <p>Don't speak, I know just what you're saying<br>So please stop explaining, don't tell me cause it hurts <br>Don't speak, I know what you're thinking <br>I don't need your reasons, don't tell me cause it hurts<br>Sometimes words are really not enough.. sometimes it's better just to let go and move on.. It hurts, but I can cope with it. I have not hurt so bad since the last breakup, but the hurt cannot break me, I'm a survivor, life still goes on, whether we like it or not.Jaycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05571939018507704125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13041113.post-78082023641464786292009-08-13T19:48:00.001+08:002009-08-13T19:48:30.377+08:00Hope.. Disappointment.. PainI managed to get through the whole day like normal, like nothing has happened.. only one of my closer colleague knew what happened, and I can still joke with her when I told her the story..<p>But when Jun, Xuan and Mei asked me what happened, the tears cannot stop.. It fucking hurts.. It hurts coz I know it hurts them to see me like so.. <p>I'm trying to cope.. I'm trying to manage.. I'm just trying to go on like nothing has happened.. but it did happened, and not only once.. one bitten, twice shy.. and it's not even twice, there may be so many more times that I do not know about.<p>He always say he knows me well, that one look at me and he can tell what I'm thinking.. WELL I know him well too, I knew something was up, I just knew it.. and I had to go find out because I was stupid enough to hope that I can prove myself wrong. So stupid.. Hope is for the naive, I'm nearing 30, I should had known better. It's so so stupid of me.<p>No Hope = No Disappointment = No Pain<p>Silence is golden, ignorance is bliss.. I really do not want to know anything else.. no more..Jaycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05571939018507704125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13041113.post-16036350884921147682009-07-23T10:36:00.000+08:002009-07-23T10:37:10.266+08:00No Luck...<DIV><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=062073102-23072009>11 years ago, I stayed overnight at NP (I think so..) waiting for the total solar eclipse, just before the eclipse hits maximum, clouds started to gather and it started raining..

So I did what I had to do apologize and promise to be more careful next time. I'm not being particularly brave or courageous, I'm just doing what is needed in order to move on. <p>But some people just cannot do that, they have to argue argue argue until the birds go home and still they would not admit that it's their fault. What's the difference between 10,000 and 19000? A whole world of difference. But not according to that shithead in penang.. I can't say this to him directly but here is what I want to say to him..<p>Dearest Shithead,<p>I would like you to take your hands then put it into your hands, I think you might not find any balls there. Please, be a man and admit that your guys have made a mistake. It's a mistake but it's not a mistake which will kill anyone, no matter how you try to bullshit, bullshit is still bullshit. <p>We're not 3-year olds, we do know bullshit when we see it. Can you please bite the bullet, admit that you guys had made a mistake so that we can move on. Why do you have to create so much shit that I have to go talk to your boss? Why are you wasting so much time writing bullshit emails when we can just move on and get more things done.<p>We're all humans, we understand that people make mistake. Move on, stop trying to push the blame, just be a man and grow balls.<p>Yours Truly,<br>Jayce-who-takes-no-shit-from-no-one<p>Reminder to self: Must go temple this weekend to da xiao ren.. too many xiao ren around liao..Jaycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05571939018507704125noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13041113.post-28453426691033850282009-06-06T11:21:00.002+08:002009-06-06T11:25:21.548+08:00Our Baby<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jyaisu/3598984301/" title="DSC_0071 by jyaisu, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3324/3598984301_b70c02cdf2.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="DSC_0071" /></a><br />*ROAR*<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jyaisu/3598982713/" title="DSC_0098 by jyaisu, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3622/3598982713_f54893d4fd_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="DSC_0098" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jyaisu/3598970859/" title="P1000532 by jyaisu, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3384/3598970859_7f83ab7a74_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="P1000532" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jyaisu/3599788330/" title="P1000546 by jyaisu, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3401/3599788330_f427b0b33e_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="P1000546" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jyaisu/3599774180/" title="P1000528 by jyaisu, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2450/3599774180_2d7554faa7_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="P1000528" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jyaisu/3599767472/" title="P1000525 by jyaisu, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2240/3599767472_f4cc9d261e_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="P1000525" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jyaisu/3599760714/" title="P1000519 by jyaisu, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3618/3599760714_57f56c66c1_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="P1000519" /></a>Jaycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05571939018507704125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13041113.post-91051958496670748082009-05-14T12:44:00.001+08:002009-06-06T11:26:08.008+08:00So where is the man?There are stupid commercials and there are STUPID commercials.. On par with the Discovery Channel commercial (the only-we-can-save-the-world, when it's WE who are destroying the world) which I really really hate, the recent dengue commercial featuring Ivy Lee really got on my nerves..<br /><br />Now when did locally produced commercials invade my precious cable TV?!?<br />So the commercial started blabbering about how working mums would be affected when their children gets sick with dengue, how they have to cope with the stress of taking care of their child and handling their work at the same time. Fuck, where's the fucking father? You mean the father is not responsible for taking care of the child? You mean the father, other than fathering the child, have nothing to do with the child's welfare?<br /><br />Actually I have beef with all the recent dengue advertisements, be it on TV or on the bus, almost all of it places the responsibility on the mother.. For goodness sake, take a look around the people you know, who cleans the house and takes care of the children, it's either the maid or the grandparents, how many mothers really stay home to take care of their kids?<br /><br />And I hate the way the "traditional" role of the wife is being portrayed. Why must the woman be the one taking care of the child, why is the mum responsible when the child gets sick, aren't we talking about equality here? Can't the father take care of the children as well?<br /><br />Recently I found out that single mums are not entitled to maternity leave.. That is simply unfair, are they not having children which the government so desires? Aren't they the one who need the maternity leave more than normal woman coz they have to take care of the child themselves? On one hand you want more births, on the other hand you refuse to offer help to people who fall through the cracks and yet decide to have children. It's just slapping themselves in the face.<br />Yes, I know what "traditional" family values are, but tradition is a moving concept, it changes with time. Just like same-sex parents, whoever said that "abnormal" families cannot raise decent children who can be a positive contribution to society.<br /><br />Once again I feel the need to move out of the country. I do not have love for Singapore, it's just a place I happen to be born in, when I retire, I'm leaving this place for good. Singapore is a place with no culture, no history, nothing to remember, nothing to hold on to. It's simply a place to make money and then scram.<br /><br />There is no Singaporean identity, there is no Singaporean value, the only kind of mentality we have is that as long as we earn money, nothing else matters.<br /><br />Right now the choice of retiring is either Taiwan, maybe in Kaoshiung or Taichung, or Canada. I want to live in a place where there's culture, where people respects each other, where I can lead a peaceful life without having to worry what other scheme the government is coming up to take my money away.<br /><br />Singapore, I will be happy to get rid of you from my identity one day. For now, I would keep your passport coz it's convenient.Jaycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05571939018507704125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13041113.post-49737346814308346352009-05-14T10:44:00.000+08:002009-05-14T10:45:07.564+08:00Just the way I like itI was just telling Ah Dear yesterday on how much I like our current life, we do whatever we want, whenever we want to.<p>We can eat out as and when we like it; or we can cook dinner if we want to.<br>We can go out and stay out late; or we can go home straight after work and reach home before 7.<br>We can splurge and buy anything we like as long as we dun bust our credit card.<br>We can go traveling as and when we like since my mei is always available to help us take care of my precious daughter, plus son, plus unknown-sex child, plus a dozen sex-changing prawns and fish, plus our two new cute little boys (white-face robo!! super duper kawaii~)<br>And the most important thing, we can buy any pet we like and no one can object to it! <p>So the latest addition to our family are our two white-face robos!!! Dun ask me to spell the whole thing, I have no idea how to spell it.. I only know that they are 1 month old and super cute!! I do have a question, why does hamsters like to run in their wheels.. they're not getting anywhere, why waste the energy?<p>And my Muah Chee and Fen Yuan (the pearl in bubble tea) is super cute!! When I first got them, I was holding on to one of them (dun ask me which one, they look exactly the same), trying to take photos.. suddenly he started to push all the food out from his cheeks!! I think he's trying to offer me food so that I would like him go :p Shall post the picture some other day (lazy to upload as usual..)<p>This is one of the reasons why I choose to get married, the freedom of leading my very own life with the person who loves and understands me better than anyone else in the world..Jaycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05571939018507704125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13041113.post-89985543919163937392009-05-12T21:11:00.001+08:002009-05-12T21:11:20.451+08:00Reaction Time<div>I find it kinda funny that our flu pandemic measures only kicked in AFTER the alert is being lowered yellow..</div> <div>Too big?

Why? I know I have changed, but have I really become so indifferent?<p>I hate feelings.. I absolutely hate feelings..

I'm already halfway there, soon I will be there and I would had attained my dreams..<p>It's useless to be human, we're useless to the world. We breed like vermin and people cannot understand that we're overpopulated and that sooner or later, the world is going to end because of our irrational behavior. Being rational is the way to go, once you get rid of all feelings, once you become rational, things will become so much clearer..<p>It's time to cull the human race, but since killing is murder, we should simply just control the number of births.. Only rigid control can save this world.. or is it too late already?

Why the hell do we want to have a whale shark in a fish tank? No matter how big an aquarium is, it's still a bloody tank and it's wrong to keep such magnificent animals all trapped in such a tiny place..<br /><br />We're talking about creature who roams the ocean; we're talking about creature who swims miles and miles everyday.. and you want to keep them in a teeny tank?! Can I keep the spokesperson in a storeroom (I'm talking about HDB storeroom) for a week and see jus how he feels..<br /><br />So it brings in curious onlookers, but at what cost? Are we so desperate that we need such gimmicks to attract tourists?<br /><br />It's so wrong.. just look at killer whales, have you ever seen a killer whale with bent dorsal fin? It's just sad.. and how many whale sharks actually survive in captivity? We're not even talking about breeding here, we're just talking about survival. If the whale shark cannot even survive in capitvity, how dare you even talk about conservation!<br /><br />Do they even know what conservation is about?! You catch a creature, you tear them away from their natural environment, you put them up for display and you call that conservation?! Fine, we shall not keep the spokesperson in capitivity this time, why not we put his children in in a glass tank and then tell we're just trying to protect them, just see how he will feel.<br /><br />Money is not the all important thing in life, there's so much more things that are important but somehow the people up there, you know the <em>people in white</em> just have no idea.. to them money is everything.. money money money.. how dare the <em>people in white </em>blame video games for all the recent events, they have to blame their policies, their it's sucess-or-nothing policies which pushes people to extreme.<br /><br />Again it's wrong.. sign the petition.. <a href="http://whalesharkpetition.com/default.aspx">http://whalesharkpetition.com/default.aspx</a><br /><br /><a href="http://news.sg.msn.com/Regional/article.aspx?cp-documentid=2785429">http://news.sg.msn.com/Regional/article.aspx?cp-documentid=2785429</a><br /><br /><strong>Animal welfare groups oppose whale sharks at Singapore casino<br /></strong>Seven local and international animal welfare groups have launched an online campaign opposing plans by a Singapore casino developer to import whale sharks for its planned aquarium. ... ...Jaycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05571939018507704125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13041113.post-37637763054601209342009-03-10T13:28:00.001+08:002009-03-10T13:28:10.930+08:00There's stupid and there's STUPIDWhy why why?
