The Great Ji-Hup

2011-10-08T02:05:00.001+08:00

Reminiscing about the past tonight suddenly reminded me of this:http://boredslacker.blogspot.com/2005_01_02_archive.htmlI don't know how many of you remember but way back in 2005 when I was truly a bored slacker, I did a short crappy cartoon on a rooster with socialist-terrorist leanings named Ji-Hup. (think of jihad) he organized a coup de tat and took over the chicken farm he was living in.

I just met up with an old time friend, one I've known since primary school. She is currently pursuing studies in film and was telling me of the month long overseas internship she just did. We discussed briefly some of the others in our group, living overseas, pursuing passions... Living what counts in SG as a wild and bohemian lifestyle basically. I thought of this group and the friends in

Irritating taxi drivers

2011-07-05T21:46:00.001+08:00

Today had 2 irritating encounters with taxi drivers. In the morning, I had to go to the area for training. The taxi I got drove me around a longer rout than necessary. Never mind, he's not familiar with the route And anyway I approved the route. My fault. Then when we reached the area, I asked him to go into the carpark to let me down. Now this was the part that started to try my patience. He

Great Youtube MusicThe problem with having an iPhone that doubles as an MP3 player is that you are forever constrained by the memory space on the Phone.

How to deal with a Peishan

2011-04-01T07:10:00.001+08:00

Most of you know by now who 'the other woman' or 'Peishan' in my marriage is. While it is a milder vice than most what other women go through, it can still get rather irritating to see the two go at it for 1 or 2 hours. Instead of, say, quality time with his spouse. Hence the plotting brainstorming. What can a wife really do when this situation arises? Tantrums and tears will most likely irritate

One day, he finds out about ultra-marathons and starts training for those and participating in them.Ultra marathons, btw, can be something like 100miles long. -_-!!!!!

His view was that it would be a good way to keep in touch with the news happenings and to keep on top of current affairs.

In the interest of being healthy, I eschewed all the fried stuff at the takeaway counters and tried a takeaway salad stop that my friend was eating at.They had a mix of salads and you could combine a few varieties into a tub. I chose 1 with mustard mayo, one with tuna and a hot one with tomatoes. And in order to know why I'm so unimpressed, you have to keep in mind the descriptions of the salads

Funny how social we all are as human beings. No matter how much people drive us nuts, we can't live without many of them.We are all born to be social creatures. It is biologically hardwired into us to rely on parents when young, socialize in our teens, get a mate, reproduce, and spend the rest of your waking life taking care of that young offspring.This biological need has been used to explain

I've been thinking lately about women, and our obsession with our looks.Maybe it's partly due to the influx of weight-loss advice -_-!!! I've been receiving because of the wedding.

Anything as long as I move my body a lot. 2. I hope weight went down not due to water loss... Nobody loses over 1 kg in water loss, right?3.

Even before I went, people didn't say, "You must see this place!" but "You must try this! You must try that! You have got to eat this or you never went to Malacca!"

Ever since my first camera phone, I've been bit by the shutterbug. I've always loved photos and the taking of them. I like the idea that you could capture a moment of the past and preserve it for the future, with one press of a button.

After the previous wedding rant... I think I somewhat cooled down. No throwing of rings and yelling "I've had enuff of this!"

In a way also better, since I'd rather not have people keep feelings

In fact in some ways, it makes it harder, because of the thousand distractions around.I thought of doing this during June, because I was so sianz of being at work. The idea is for me to periodically take work out of the workplace and do it in a more comfy environment, so that I won't get so stressed

Bollywood cures allAn explanation for the title will follow... Today was just one of the days.... everything just started to fall around me.This is the lesson I learnt from the day: Never clear a bunch of work appraisals, project approvals and other assignments in the same session with your supervisor. The workload that arises, plus the mental workload that arises, is just too much.Work appraisal

A Manifesto to Glass TrombonesWhy does it usually take a narrow and painful brush with death for society to give us the permission slip to pursue our dreams, no matter how unconventional? Why can't we do this for people who are surviving very well physically? Was just reading an article on another cancer survivor in Reader's Digest and thinking if she was not afflicted with cancer, if she had

Photo DiaryBefore I forget myself in the drudgery of work, here's some shots of my last 2 weeks of June:1. Went to an art exhibition where I hardly understood anything that was there. -_-! Though I did think the wall decor stickers were cute... ( 8QSam museum )2. Laid in a womb of polysthrene furniture and imagined my whole room being like this. ( Verner Panton exhibition at National Museum )3.

There is something very twisted at the heart of the society in which we live.Firstly, over this June period, we have seen people panic and subsequently calm down over a virus that seemed worse than it actually was. But yet the preventive measures taken have left me scratching my head at times.For one, temperature taking as a precaution. Why are we still insisting on checking for high fevers, when

Funny thing about this holidays, it's been the most amount of time I've spent at home. I've been reading, facebooking, and er, playing a lot of online games. -_-!!! which is why for today I have to banish myself to the use of my I-touch so that I don't end up hooked to the games again. It's something like what I read in a book: you gotta have a job or at least something to keep you getting out of

[ok, it's a plush toy]I swear I wasn't about to buy this, but Yenn insisted it was 'damn cute' and a total waste if I didn't buy it, so instead she bought it for me, insisting that I will put it on at least one of my bags when I go out with her.Er, cannot imagine this on some bags lor

The more I grow the more I question. The more I question, the more I realize how much others don't know. And more worriedly, how much they don't care. The more I realize they don't know or care, the more I try to go against them. The more different I try to be. The more different I try to be, the more crap I get from others. The more crap I get the more miserable I get. The more miserable I get,

In reference to below post: After I ended my fuming, I took a shower to cool down and decided that, as undesirable as it was, the most proper thing I could do was to go to work after all. After all it wasn't a last minute notification, since the mail was sent out a week ago. And if I didn't read it then it was my fault that I only heard about it on the day itself. So I went anyway, listened to

Jeremy Monteiro and the Tang Quartet was not so aptly named, since in last night's concert, there was less tang than I thought. There was jazz and plenty of good jazz. Quet thought the saxophonist was great and I thought the trumpet was superb, and we both agreed that the 4 stringed instruments were sadly 'extra' This was quite disappointing in that aspect. The Tang Quartet are a brilliant

I went for a performance as part of the Singapore Arts Festival, Ruhe ( silence ) at the National Museum. It sounded interesting because it seemed to be presenting the point of history from ex-German officers during WW2.Honestly, it wasn't really what I was expecting. I was expecting something like a play, or mini play cum dialogue. Turned out to be a bit more art-farty than I thought :pWe were

Distant Worlds: Final Fantasy concertIt started with music to stir you into battle... Music that quickened your heart and made you sit up on your seat in attention. Then it became music sweetly calming, full of peace, calm and fields of flowers. After that was music of a forgotten city, attacked by giants and trolls and left for dead, till one grownup survivor brought its people back. It was

What sandwich did you get?""bacon and cheese""I got that too!"*pause* "what tea is that?""peach""me too!"*pregnant pause*"we may be hanging out too often together." "agreed.

Flashback to the PastOne day, I saw a notification on Flickr that I had no Pro account, and that only the first 200 photos of my account would be shown.Because of that, I thought maybe I should delete some of the photos from the account, reasons being 1) I already had copies of those photos on my hard drives and 2) I wanted to free up space for other stuff.So I had to go into the account and

Massachusetts wants to imprison people for 10 years if they take a nude photo of their over-60 spouse, even with spouse's consent Then again, maybe it should be a criminal offence if your grandparents take nude photos if each other. Especially if they post them somewhere on the Internet... Sent from my iPod

Yes, I finally got myself a new phone... It's a Sony E 905 in gold... I don't often change phones but the nokia was just giving me more trouble than it was worth. How dost thou irritate me? Lemme list the ways: 1. Hanging while I am doing something innocently, say sliding it open. Perchance my slides were too rough for it. A phone has to be slid like a hockey puck across ice. 2.
