The Christmas Eve Line

The sun is shining, the grass is green. The orange and palm trees sway. There's never been such a day, in Beverly Hills, L.A. But it's December the 24th and I'm longing to be up North.

How did it all happen?

As best as I can recall, this was my activity trail in a recent 24hrs of insanity:

6 p.m Intense last one hour of work - Ramming in a strenuous gym workout - Downing sushi and 2 eggs for dinner - Drinks and Tapas at Tippling Club - Getting so fucked up at Overeasy - Hangover Supper (could have qualified as breakfast) at Spize - Didn't go home - Back to work the next day in my bedhead and was all fucked up - Expending my last iota of energy 'concentrating' on Ghost Protocol (this ironically gave me a shot of energy) after work 6 p.m the next day

The best part of it all is that none of this was planned. I merely intended to exercise after work and then go home. Hence the title of this post: How did it all happen? I can't seem to trace the starting point of this havoc. I have a feeling it has got to do with Luke and Terrence though. Mobos.

Whatever it is, such a night is unlikely to happen again in a long while... I hope.

It would take a christmas miracle for my christmas wish to come through. Hopefully it does, if not I'll have to keep on holding out till this materializes. Sometimes it ain't really about whether these things are worth the wait - they just must.

I shall conclude with a line of wisdom found within a fortune cookie: good things come to those who wait.

God bless ye merry gentlemen and merry christmas.

The Return

This post marks my return from Melfuckingbourne and also my return to posting from the blog, from which I have taken a prolonged hiatus..

To sum up the last few weeks for you guys, they have been extremely hectic up to just a few days ago.

This hectic period started with my exam revision (actually months ago), followed by the exams themselves, and then juggling moving out of my apartment (cleaning it up, selling all my furniture, throwing away stuff that no one wanted and packing) with showing my parents around Melbourne and shuttling them back and forth.

Arrival in Singapore actually brought little relief as I had to quickly start putting up Christmas decorations which were already late, as well as complete a tonne of admin stuff for MOH.

Anyway its nice to have time to make an entry again.

The Best and Worst of Music 2011

'Stereo hearts' by gym class heroes featuring adam levine is by far my top song among those released this year (note recent amendment for clarification). It only took me 5 seconds to like it and listening to it 5 times on repeat sealed the deal for me. On the opposite end of my spectrum, looping coldplay's 'paradise' 5 times broke the deal and it is my most disliked song of 2011, even though I imagined liking it initially. There is nothing about the song that reminds me of paradise especially since it's meant to be a sombre song, music and lyrics wise. Sometimes irony is meaningful but in this case the title just unnecessarily misleading. Chris Martini should've just taken his cue from the aptly named 'fix you'. This nicely resolves my earlier dilemma (refer to my previous entry) whereby 'Gangstas Paradise' is the clear winner.

The 8pm retreat

As it started getting dark, I decided on a whim that I needed to keep my body in shape and counter the debilitating effects of being at the 1/4 mark of 8 exams, so I headed to my usual exercise area 100m away from my house and embarked on my routine of chin ups and parallel bar push-ups while having a delectable assortment of christmas carols piping into my ears from my new iphone 4s, which is my first smart phone. I must say that the experience was somehow very uniquely pleasant, especially when the december weather was at its characteristic best - the lingering smell of rain that has just stopped couple of hours ago and a cool intermittent breeze tickling my damp skin. After my 40 min workout, I felt refreshed but ravenous, so I headed to the nearby indian coffee shop for some fish curry and rice and a teh-o keras, which was also unplanned. Again, my iphone was a source of entertainment as I waited for my food to arrive and read a rather interesting article explaining the reasons behind the Euro's impending collapse. This 1+ hour retreat felt great to break the monotony of an exam routine and I am thankful for having experienced it.

I was just thinking at the end of it all if this would become a more common occurrence once I start work - coming home late and heading for a workout and a late dinner. Minus the spontaneity, christmas carols and good weather of course, since the weather is unpleasantly warm most of the year and the christmas season lasts for a month or 2 at most.

Life Cycle

So today I was walking back from the MRT station and I thought about how at different times of the year, I would be interested in different things (etc. guitar chords, boating), and would have lost interest in subjects / topics which I initially was fiddling with / particularly interested in (eg. piano, planes, swimming).

I'm not sure if it has to do with the season / weather / stress at work. But somehow, I guess the funny thing is, in one way or another, I'll find myself re-exploring those "part-time hobbies" again.

Does this happen to you too?

Rain can be kickass

Hey guys, just thought I'd share something I discovered a while back..

It has been raining in Singapore pretty frequently these days.. so one day when I returned from work, I just went to youtube to find clips/ videos of rain.. and here's what I found:

Office Politics Made Official

Just want to mention how royally annoyed I am at pipsqueaks who play politics in the office. Just can't believe these people sometimes. I guess I have to be really good at my stuff to crush all forms of politics that I might encounter.

Epiphany

Hey peeps,

I guess I owe you all an extremely overdue post / entry after so many seasons. But I assure you this would not be any less than what I would post if I had the time to pen down any thoughts or accounts.

I also owe Luke an apology for delaying and procrastinating like forever to write this so I hope I can keep this up for as long as possible, hopefully not for only 1 entry (in my attempt to hinder the closure of the blog).

So just last month, as you know, I have visited Israel-Palestine (Holy Land) on a pilgrimage with the church. I reaped many benefits from learning more about the land, the history as recorded in the Bible, the art, the culture, but not the ladies (but of course!).

Somehow, while on that trip, I had this strange epiphany of walking closer to God and acquiring this sense of peace and contentment. I mean despite all the walking and heat, and rushing from place to place, I was at peace with myself and you can say, peace with God as well.

One of the evenings when I was watching the sun set at the sea of Galilee (or Kinnereth, or Gennesaret), I looked back retrospectively at how sometimes I got bullied or was laughed at having faith in God and not in myself. Coincidentally, when I was flipping the Bible, my fingers landed on the exact Bible phrase (on the first flip) which comforts those who would experience such a rejection, or circumstance.

From the Gospel of Matthew 5:3-12 (King James Version Bible)

³Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

⁴Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

⁵Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

⁶Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

⁷Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

⁸Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

⁹Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

¹⁰Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

¹¹Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

¹²Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Surprisingly, my guide, who is a Palestinian-Christian (he was ostracized for having rejected the Muslim faith), said that there was much similarity in the God worshipped by the Muslims, and the God worshipped by all the Abrahamic faiths. What he doesn't understand is why, across the Torah (Jewish bible), the Quran, and the Bible, nobody actually practised the commandment of "Love thy neighbour as thyself". Well this was a no brainer, if everyone could do that, there wouldn't be any wars or conflict (such as the Israel-Palestinian diaspora).

Well this was certainly food for thought in my opinion. I admit that I somehow reconciled with my faith once again and felt it strengthened manifold. Which is why I'm really excited to share it here.


I learnt some alphabets of Hebrew whilst there as well, and some aramaic phrases.. i got to say that Arabic sounds really harsh! When they speak, they sound like war is impending and blood needs to be shed (that's the impression, and the atmosphere I felt).

Anyhow, just a quick update that I'm doing fine in PwC. Currently, I'm looking at some Masters in Finance programmes to apply to. I was thinking of building up my knowledge in finance. One of the universities i'm looking at is the University of Lausanne, and University of Geneva. Didn't want to go to a UK university because it's really expensive.

That's about all for me. How are things with you guys?

Go Wendys.

Charmaine, my 2nd oldest friend.

I am typing this entry while lounging by the pool during lunchbreak (much emphasis added as I'm not sleeping on the job) with a diet coke in hand. The weather is perfect... there is just enough cloud cover to shield me from the blazing sun and the random drafts of wind unfailingly soothe the heat on my shoulders. And now, I am jumping through the hoops of one illusion to another: from my pseudo beach resort at the fitness first pool to the child I was 20 years ago.

A very old friend happened to board the same bus as me. We reminisced about memories that shaped our respective childhoods. This included playing hide and seek in the Changi Prison compound, dangling upside down from monkey bars, climbing trees, refusing to attend Sunday school and instead playing various games, pretending to be a soldier playing with rifles, stealing golf balls, kicking my first football and making fun of others. Can't believe it but this conversation yesterday proves that my memory of the prison is nothing but vivid. I must say that I'm glad that my life took all the havoc routes at the many crossroads back in the day cause embarking on the alternative turn would not just imply a different path I might have taken, but a different self I would I have been and that would be far from desirable.

The bus ride didn't feel like it lasted for 45 and I didn't feel like 26 either. Maybe this deja vu might happen to the future version of myself - meeting an ole amigo and momentarily indulging in the 'fling of youth' (this is one cool line by luke) we have today. So, we should be grateful for having anything but unspent youth for the present.

Mid-daydreaming

Just downed 2 eggs (6 short of Rocky Balboa's standard) and a cup of Ying Yang from my favourite cafe.

I am now rocking out in da office to Mike Posner's 'Cooler Than Me' for a vitality boost. "If I could write your a song to make you fall in love, I would already have you [in] under my [hand] arm..". Not an entirely accurate analogy here, but today the bird in the bush is nicer than the bird in hand.

Vegas, Las fucking Vegas (it's so cool that even the f word deserves lower caps). Screw the many pleasure pits and razzle dazzle, the mere thought of the drive along the freeway from Los Angeles to Vegas has already got me started man. Amigos, this dream is starting to become a reified thought now - I can already feel the wind in my hair. I hope that our December of the 11 will be hypercharged and defined by chasing one too many white castles while riding on imbibed tigers. We shall have our own story to tell, and that would be maneuvered and written by the constant hand of havoc.

And one more thing. In a more ideal yet totally unrealistic world, I wish I could create a profession which would entail being a lawyer, pilot and an action hero all at once. No, I have not considered what to name that job but whatever it might be called, it would put an end to my career dilemma which plagued me for the past few years.

Anyway (yes the abrupt ending was not just intended but forced upon me), it is time to snap out of this afternoon reverie and confrnt my reality which entails research, analysis and churning out of numerous documents just so I can don the suit and tie to go to the Supreme Court.

The Unexpected

Never would I have imagined learning so much from these 20 minutes.

Revamping My Room

My house has undergone some changes lately and more will be coming in the near future. One aspect of this transformation is my room.

Essentially, we replaced all existing furniture and fittings and gave the room a new coat of paint. While most people would hire contractors to do this job, my dad and I decided to do it ourselves. Of course, we did not make every single alteration, just whatever was practical. Examples include painting the entire room, installation of floating shelves and assembly of furniture.

Although I found it enjoyable and fun enough doing all that stuff, I wouldn't go as far as saying I felt a great sense of satisfaction thereafter. Maybe you should try building something someday, regardless of how simple, to understand what I mean.

I doubt I'd put a picture on the blog but you all are welcome to visit to take a look.

I was just thinking that the best thing about having twitter is unlike a blog, no title is necessary. In the same vein, if the title of a blog post were to constitute the subject matter of the entry, then no further content would be needed. While having spent the past minute justifying the lack of title for this post, I have wasted an entire paragraph trying to explain away what could have been said in a very short sentence. So thank you for wasting your time reading this as I have typed this without the slightest regard for an economy of words.

Now I'm pondering whether or not I should introduce a title since it feels weird and lacking with none. But does it really matter at all? Because there isn't any point in having a title without a proper point. And at this stage it appears to be too late to introduce my intended point since it is unlikely that will be congruous to what has been written so far. I have jammed myself. Though pointless, at least these sentences are somewhat accidentally coherent, which may be the saving grace of this entry, hopefully. I must say this is why I prefer blogging since such verbosity, notwithstanding how meaningless, cannot be achieved with twitter.

Whatever fuckever

Today was a havoc day. I had a chat with one of my team mates, who wanted to convince me that my lunch buddies are bad company. So since she wanted me to commit, she asked if I thought my boss or the one I lunch with is the better boss. I am sure she was expecting the answer to be my boss, since it was the politically correct answer. Then she wanted to say more things after I committed. But I decided to fuck it. So I just said, I cannot answer. So she tried to explain that our boss is indeed better, and claimed that another common friend who had left the bank would say so. To this, I said that this friend was a colleague for her before he became a friend, while for me he was a friend before becoming a colleague, so I definitely know him better. So my team mate said that she can bet her life that he will say our boss is better, so I said, you will give up your life if he says otherwise. To this, she said that she will buy me lunch. I had half a mind to fuck her further by asking if her life was equivalent to a meal, but since I had everything to gain(a free meal) and nothing to lose(since we did not agree on what I have to give her if he indeed says it's my boss who is better, which he won't since he has told me before that my boss sucks).

On this havoc note, I have decided I am not going to be nice to people who do not deserve it. So I have started ignoring mails from this person from another department who thinks she is so high and mighty that she can not answer mails or calls to her, just because she does not feel like answering it. After some thought, I figured out that this dumb bitch needs me alot more than I need her. The only reason I previously needed her is because she processes credit card applications for my team, and I have to ask her why she rejects certain applications. Now, I figured this is not my problem at all. I do not have to meet any sales target at the end of the month, so even if she rejects everything, I don't need to give a flying fuck. The ones who will get fucked are my team mates as they are responsible to ensure the sales targets are met. So actually, I have been cock as I have been trying to push the sales figures by asking this person to kindly accept this and that, and in the process have my mails or calls bot answered. Now, if I get a reject, I just give it back to the customer. End of the month, figures not met, no problemo. With this attitude, I am going to screw with the people who thought they cannot be touched. Now this other person from the other department has asked me for some updates on issues that only I handle. I am going to ignore all the way and eventually say, not my job. It is really not my job, but previously I just did it as I did not want to waste time.

So now, all these morfos can brace themselves for some whatever fuckever attitude from me.

My last semester and a good weekend

Waddup amigos. It's so nice to wake up on a monday morning and not have to go to school. I've just completed this ridiculous compulsory half module for law students called Work & Family (that's why it was completed in half a term and I no longer have class on mondays), which tries to teach you how to achieve a work-life balance. For three reasons, I think it's a cocked up irony. Firstly, why do I have to be taught work-life balance when any one in the right mind wants to achieve it and would naturally work towards achieving it; and for those who are mad, teaching them ain't gonna convince them. Secondly, the module requires us to do this irritating interview with a married couple of our choice and worse, transcribe a page worth of notable quotes from the interview and write a paper based on that interview as to how work and home domains' spillovers interact. I don't see why such a useless and tedious exercise should have tipped my current work-life balance towards the 'work' part. Thirdly, I feel that my work-life balance is much more towards the 'life' part now that this stupid module is over.

Indeed, the weekend has been a rather restful one, at least relative to all the other preceding weekends. In a fleeting span of 8 weeks, I have completed 3 research papers, 4 midterm exams, and 2 presentations. This is the worst bashing SMU has dealt me so far, and I see that it has saved the best for last. Of course it's partly due to my double degree programme that I've about 30% more work than the rest, but still, I don't see why 70% of what I'm doing is even warranted for making me a competent lawyer. But anyway, it's really nice to savour a sat evening with no work on your mind, have a sumptuous dinner of hawker fare, watch a good film, sleep for 9 hours, wake up and take a leisurely drive to Brewerkz (the one near indoor stadium, overlooking Kallang river) to have a lazy sunday brunch consisting of burger, cheddar, crispy bacon, fries that have this damn shiok crisp-crunch on the outside and mush on the inside, and to top it off with a delectable bread pudding drenched in cream sauce and some whisky caramel drizzled around it. Oh yeah, and read the Sunday Times while waiting for your food to come. Perfectomundo.

What Have You Done

Malik.. This is for you..

Late night post from the office

One of the most bastard people that I've met to date is my landlord for the academic year 2008 - 2009 in Bristol. He would take advantage of every opportunity to make his tenants pay for all sorts of improvements to his property even when it came to something cheap like a cupboard knob.

Essentially, he has only one trick up his sleeve. This is executed in 3 simple steps: attribute all physical deterioration (including existing and present fair wear and tear) to the tenants, deduct from security deposit and hope that he won't be sued. Normally, most who have had the misfortune of leasing his property would be stuck in a corner with little or no resort. But I decided not to let him have his cake and eat it.

While I should not mention in public how my housemates and I royally fucked him over, I shall mention one instance where I slammed him in front of a few people for entertainment.

It happened one day when I was going home and the locksmiths were replacing the lock on my front door. As this was the umpteenth time that a replacement was needed, the landlord became visibly unhappy at having to always bear such costs. In frustration, the landlord lashed out at me, blaming me for the times where he had to change the lock because the door constantly 'slammed'. He also insisted that I pay for the cost of the new lock. This was too retarded for my liking.

I then gave him a piece of my mind. It was all the more better this happened in front of a few people, namely the agent and locksmiths. Here are the main things said to him:

a. How did he know that the door was constantly 'slammed' and that it was me (since he blamed me) who caused this situation? I repeated asked him in front of everyone whether he had a CCTV at the door and whether he had seen me open and close the door before.

b. That it was not the manner of which the door was opened or closed, but his constant mistake of purchasing such a cheap and weak lock that led to these situations.

c. That instead of insisting that the tenants pay for the lock, he should in addition to paying for it, compensate us for putting us at various risks when we were locked in the flat these few times.

d. In the event he charges us, I would not pay my rent and/or call the environmental council to inspect the rat infested property to prevent it from being rented out.

The landlord was obviously unhappy after the conversation. But what to do? He just had to suck it up because he deserves it for his pathetic and insulting attempt at cheating and slamming me.

While I would generally consider it unwise to hantam someone unless it is a last resort, I am glad that some people have given me the opportunity to do so by putting me in such a situation. This is because slamming someone , even without an iota of vindictiveness, may be rather entertaining especially when there is a crowd. When will the next chance present itself? I don't know but I will surely relish it when it comes hahahahha.

The end of the holidays really felt fucked up. Kenneth aptly described
them to have passed fleetingly..

Fortunately, there are quite a few things that I'm looking forward to
doing in the next few weeks.. Among them are:

1) Doing some hardkore weights
2) Catching up on TV series
3) Researching and most likely purchasing a tablet. (you guys should

Hopefully these things will make another semester of extreme
