you snooze, you lose

i'm not dead. just a little occupied.


oh, and dear zirca, you suck. whoever was manning the consoles on friday night kept putting a 10 second song on loop throughout. like that, my 4yr old cousin also can be a DJ. i had more fun singing to songs on my ipod in the car later. seriously you guys! and what was it with all the ang mohs? omg, it felt like i was clubbing in finland damnit.

oh and one more thing, that smoke you keep blowing out onto the dancefloor, was sure as hell damn effective, i did not even see one cockroach throughout the night. i did choke and gag a few times on the smell though but hey, am i lucky i'm not a cockroach.

oh wells, that's one more club off the list.

to tweet or not to tweet

i think the reason why i dont blog so often is cause i tweet. and just in case you didnt know, twitter is like this thingy where its somewhat like blogging meets facebook status updates. they give you 140 characters to type something out and people who follow you get to see your updates and reply to what you said.

it's kinda fun if you have lots of friends on it but i guess twitter is not really THAT big in singapore yet or maybe its just my friends are not really TWEETers.

nevertheless, if you are a tweeter and you wanna add me on twitter, HERE's MY LINK..

mint ice cream sundae

its been raining like damn heavily lately, especially around the late afternoon. and there's one thing i like to do when its raining. no, it isnt putting on a full white outfit and playing under the rain getting soaking wet. cause white makes me look fat you see.

what i like to do on a nice rainy day is eat a big bowl of mint ice cream sundae. all i do is scoop some mint ice cream into a bowl, get a bottle of hershey's chocolate syrup from my bedside table and pour it over the mint ice cream and sprinkle some rainbow rice on top. its fucking awesome.

i usually eat it by my kitchen window while i watch the rain drench all the clothes that my other neighbours hang out and forget to bring in.


life is awesome.

alijoe for president

groupthink is the cancer to individuality. grouthink happens when everybody in a group thinks similarly and opposes anything else that isnt seen as right by the group. lets say a person in a group has a different perception of something, groupthink makes him feel that he is wrong, therefore having to change his way to follow and be part of his group.

lets use an example.

let's say everybody think's Paris Hilton can't sing and her making an album would be a disaster. thus the whole group thinks that Paris Hilton's album sucks. groupthink comes in when members in the group straight away condemns the album saying it's the worst album ever made, without actually even listening to it first.


so what's my point?


my point is i've uploaded this new music video for my blog on the right and its by paris hilton and i think its awesome. and even if you think it sucks, i shall not succumb to your ideology because that my friend, is groupthink.

i also don't know why

so i was listening to Class 95 while randomly looking at photos people post on facebook and this song came on. Don't Know Why by Norah Jones. its a very lovely jazz song but something else caught my attention.

she kept repeating this verse throughout the song,

"dont know why i didnt come"


and throughout the whole song i keep thinking of this girl who was like complaining about not being able to get an orgasm. and mind you, she kept repeating the verse ALOT in the whole song!

so yeah. as much as i love the song, i just cant look at the song the same way again. ever.

hidden talents

you know how like those beauty pageants will have like this talent segment in the whole contest. like lets say Miss France's talent would be to do ballet, Miss Egypt's talent would be to belly dance and Miss Thailand's talent is to shoot ping pong balls out of her vagina. well, i have a hidden talent to!

i can do accents!

i know i know, its not exactly as exciting as Miss Thailand's but its still a talent okay! ohh, i can burp on demand too!!

anyway,

so today as i was filing my nails while watching tv, (cause i really had nothing else to do and cutting them would just be too fast so i decided to file them but after filing the third nail, it felt like just too much effort so i went back to the nail clipper. i mean seriously, i dont get how you girls can file all your nails. its like the most mundane thing ever. and everytime i file i feel damn frustrated that they look uneven. seriously, its just too much effort. i know i'm free but i'm not THAT free. ANYWAY,) suddenly i heard somebody knock on the front door.

i opened it and there was this salesman and he asked me,

"can i speak to the house owner?"

and god knows how where what when and why, i suddenly replied,

"no sir, he not at home" IN A FUCKING FILIPINO ACCENT!!!!!

and then when i realised what i just did, i suddenly went "fuckfuckfuck!" in my mind. not verbally of course. in my mind i was already planning my whole story just in case he asked me another question. like i work at mcdonalds at lucky plaza and that i rented out a room in this flat.

luckily the only thing he did was passed me a brochure and he instructed me to pass it to the 'house owner'. and he actually said it slowly like i was mentally retarded or like i didnt understand english or smthing. stupid fuck!

after i closed the door i couldnt stop laughing la. he actually thought i was filipino la damnit!!


eh come to think of it, i donno whether to take that as a compliment or the opposite?

deconstructing sanctuary

amongst the gazillion bizarre facts about myself, one of them would be my concept of sanctuary. sanctuary is the term that i refer my house to, or to be exact, my room.

i have this weird little habit ever since i was young which is, i dont like having people over at my place. you know how when you're young, you'd invite your friends over to your house to play computer games, maybe do homework or just random chit chat. well, i never did any of that. i mean to begin with, growing up as the only child, i never really had any of those games where you can play as a group. most of my stuff were like a gameboy or like power ranger's megazord. once i begged my mum to buy me those 4-in-1 board games set, you know, those with snakes and ladders, checkers and whatnots. i got bored playing with it after 1 week, especially when i was playing each of the 4 players in the board game.

when you've grown up alone, especially with your parents working most of the time, you somewhat become used to and comfortable with being alone. so no matter how busy school was or how hectic life is, i know that i can always come back home to my sanctuary. my quiet little place where i can just relax. back when i was in secondary school, i would come home, read my Teenage or Lime magazine and listen to Say It With Music with Jean Danker every night on Perfect 10.

simply put, my sanctuary is a safe haven for me, a place away away from the 'noise' of reality. and i wanna keep it that way. it is my safe haven, not OUR safe haven. i feel like if i invited everybody over, it would no longer feel like my sanctuary. feels tainted. in simpler terms, its like a VIP room, if everybody can go into the VIP room , it wouldnt feel very VIP anymore would it.

so, dont hold your breathe waiting for an invite to my room, you might just die waiting.

oh, unless of course if i meet you at a club and i'm a little high and you're totally hot. then i'd be rolling out my 'Welcome' mat. ;)

FML

spent my whole day at Novena today with Barney. brought out my laptop today cause i intended to do a massive sent out of resumes. you know, just find a nice spot at Coffee Bean or smthing and just send out as many resumes as i can. my aim was to email out 20 resumes. not like it's gonna matter cause nobody's been replying any of my emails anyway.



we met at 1.30pm and now it 9pm.

total resume sent : 1

that sums up a maximum total of 1 resume sent this whole week.

i think i'll probably get a job by good friday, next year's good friday that is.


great job ali joe. great marvelous job indeed.
