Irony
My main objective is to help others and if I can't even help my own friends, what motherfuckin' help am I talking about? Life is a bitch.
It is beyond AIDS.
"I think AIDS is overrated. We all die one day, anyway." with a beer in his hand, barely sober, he walked away.
I wont be able to share my views with him in person ever. Even if I were to meet him again someday at the clubs, I don't think I will be able to recognize him. I wonder how many people actually feel that way about getting AIDS.

我有wisdom吗
I had my wisdom tooth removed today and it was painless. How amazing. I was at the dental early morning 9:30 am and the dentist was late for 15 mins but when he arrived he was very friendly and very soft-spoken, at that point I knew I was in safe hands... No heavy duty work or exercise today so i will go back to my gym routine only tomorrow :)

【讓我照顧你】張芸京
你一個人失了魂 清晨哭到夜深
不要別人問 我不出聲 一直等
聽你說你心疼 當時好傻 好天真
如果可以我願意 這樣陪你到永恆
讓我照顧你 面對再大的風雨
也能微笑做自己 像個孩子 躺在我懷裡
讓我照顧你 在這荒蕪世界裡
就算有新的劇情 在明天等著你
然而在你最需要的此刻 請讓我輕撫你
總有一天會有人 一個懂你的人
讓你從此不心疼
如果可以我願意 這樣陪你到永恆
讓我照顧你 面對再大的風雨
也能微笑做自己 像個孩子 躺在我懷裡
讓我照顧你 在這荒蕪世界裡
就算有新的劇情 在明天等著你
然而在你最需要的此刻 請讓我照顧你
你看破了虛偽 拆穿愛的假面
後悔曾經為他付出一切
我會在你身邊 當你傷心欲絕
不奢望你偶然垂憐
讓我照顧你 面對再大的風雨
也能微笑做自己 像個孩子 躺在我懷裡
讓我照顧你 在這荒蕪世界裡
就算有新的劇情 在明天等著你
當你對這世界失去信任 請讓我照顧你
This is a very gay song - I love the melody and she had delivered it very well with her unique tone. All her albums are sold out here in Singapore, have to wait till record company reprint. Maybe when she come here to do promo I will go see see look look :D

"World peace"
There were many occasions where I had either read abt Ris Low or hear abt her, on press, on tv or on radio - she disgusts me. I do pity her but I m sorry, she is just so irritating. i m glad that the new replacement is someone much more worthy and intelligent.
Yahoo website:
The new beauty queen said she’s just a regular girl.
She said: "I do not have any convictions or criminal records I enjoy travelling, baking and participating in various sports activities. I’m a good girl." (Pic above)
Yes, yes, e new replacement is a bitch but hey i rather someone bitchy then someone stupid to represent e country. Til today I am still very puzzled by wat the judges saw in Ris Low and who are the panel of judges.... Simply amusing.

他的風箏 蕭煌奇
就到這裡分手 安慰的話別說
我會記得你給我的美好
從此不再尋找 不再輕易擁抱
別管我的感受 別怕傷害了我
飛翔如果是你要的自由
我怎能不放手 不願讓你牽掛我的寂寞
妳的掌心你的溫柔 點燃了我點燃了寂寞
別管我鬆開手心有多痛
只要你幸福迎風 我願意沈默
我願 放開雙手 給你自由 給你夢
給你 寬闊天空 飛翔放縱
你說 愛他靈魂 為他犧牲 是認真
你是他的風箏 該由他來心疼
別管 沈默的我 孤獨的我 怎麼過
你要 珍重自己 好好生活
我願 美麗風箏 快樂天真 去遨翔
就算 我一個人 孤獨荒涼

Gam 'Key'?
It is very strange how friends you never thought could actually get along together when introduced become seemingly BFF????! Calmen met Adan > Place: Mambo > Chatted: "Your birthday ah!? Happy Birthday..." > Danced with tequila shots > separately commented that I have "fun" friends. Hmm... like that also can oh?

Fame
My biggest disappointment in the remake of Fame was that this scene is not there. That's like E most important scene in the entire show. There's no point in doing a remake of the original when most important scenes and themes aren't included, it may as well take form of another name and plot. However, I was touched by the new rendition of Out Here On My Own - I like it.

Segamat
Segamat is a town and district located in the north of the state of Johor in Malaysia, bordering two other states of Malaysia (Negeri Sembilan on the west and Pahang on the north). It is located roughly 172 kilometres from Johor Bahru, the capital city of Johor State. It is 95 km travel distance via North-South Expressway from Johor Bahru to Yong Peng. It is another 77 km via Federal Route 1.
Strategically situated between Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru and Singapore, Segamat is a fast growing agricultural oil palm and rubber district, famous for its delicious durians, and the recent slogan used to attract tourists to Segamat is Selamat Datang ke Segamat - Tanah Raja Buah-buahan (Welcome to Segamat - The Land of King of Fruits). Segamat town is a typical medium size town with a blend of old and new cultures. A mere 45 minute drive from town offers a variety of hiking and swimming sites namely the famous Gunung Ledang, Air Panas Waterfall and Bekok Waterfall which make an enjoyable weekend getaway.
Now it kinda make sense cos Mr Tai love durians..... And THAT'S their tallest building! Wah.
I fired her. Again!
"C, I dunt think I am suitable for your jobs. Will invoice you, 30 days payment terms. Tks."
I cannot believe she is still very capable of driving me UP the wall. Over the phone, we have already agreed upon the specs and scope of work for that specific rate, and she simple disregard all that insist that I do more than what we agreed upon. So very her.

Loving You - 劉明湘 Vs Minnie Riperton
One of the few rare renditions of this song that doesn't irritate me, in fact it's pretty impressive. (8:00)
But of course no one beats Minnie Riperton.
"Loving you is easy cos your beautiful ooh....."
"Stay with me while we grow old, we will live in each day in spring time..."

How strange....
When someone ask/greet you "How are you!" or "What's up!" - its really an exclamation mark and not a question mark.
You don't have to reply in detail or with much obligation to elaborate. Just say "Good." You don't have to mean it.
Sometimes, I do wonder why people even bother asking at all.

I wouldn't really label this as singing. It would only be rightful to call this a musical equivalence of having read the best book of your life.

真真假假
Due to the recent internet issue i cant seems to upload pics so I had to post my texts first...
Finally I can upload the pics so, here's putting images to my thoughts:
She has EQ of a 1000.
The reason why a lot of people are so caught up with the truth is because they cannot let go. They are just painfully hanging on to it (reads: The truth, their beliefs... etc).
"人生中 需要讲真话吗?
好多时侯 我都没讲真话 因为人生短短 开心就好
只要没有伤害到任何人"
For me, over the years, I no longer need to know the truth of everything in life. It is so intangible, so vague, so self-indulging; I choose to live in a lie.

Ah-Kua Show
A quote from Emeric, the director of Ah-Kua Show...
Qn: On one hand it seems pretty progressive that in Singapore transsexuals are recognised as their reassigned sex and are able to legally marry (someone of the opposite sex) but on the other, you say you are still being called ‘bapok’ or ‘ah kua’ by strangers. What misconceptions about transsexuals do you most often hear in Singapore?
Emeric: One common misconception is that transsexuals are all prostitutes who hang out at Orchard Towers and Changi Village, soliciting for customers with certain perverse preferences. It's similar to the thinking that gays all love rave parties where they do drugs, get naked and have sex. Just because one group within a community with certain lifestyle practices happens to be most visible at the time does not mean that their conduct applies or is representative of the whole community. We want to show that transsexuals lead responsible lives and contribute just as much as anyone else to Singapore.
And something from Leona...
Qn: Are Singaporean men generally accepting of transsexuals as romantic partners? What are the biggest challenges that you face with Singaporean men compared with non-Singaporean men (and vice versa)?
Leona: Singporean men? Let's not even go there. The cute ones are mostly gay, the straight and cute ones are too short. Lol. It's neither race nor ethnicity, I believe. It's what's down there - I mean the heart.

如果沒有明天
This is the same guy in The Bangkok Love Story...
Alisa在MV裏飾演暗戀好友多年最後卻選擇默默守候,並且唱出好友Tob的苦戀愛 情故事,飾演同志的Tob和Alisa只有一場對手戲。短短五分鐘的MV裏春光乍洩, 導演特地拍出的男男相戀、擁抱、淋浴、為愛掙扎的鏡頭,劇情描寫一對男同志面臨家庭和 愛情的選擇,讓兩人愛得辛苦,最後不得不分手。
MV在送交電視台後回來的反應是「全部都得修掉才能播出」,但為維持故事的完整性,導 演和唱片公司還在傷腦筋,沒想到就發現網路上已經看得到未剪輯完成的MV,對於連番波 折,Alisa不禁嘆氣道:「《如果沒有明天》該不會真的沒有明天吧?」

Play it safe, use a condom
I read this somewhere and I thought I share it with my friends:
"HIV is no picnic, unlike so many Aids council brochures and campaigns seem to (with all good intention I'm sure) imply. Sorry, but I disagree. From what I've seen: You do not go climbing mountains like Magic Johnson when you have HIV. One thing my mate told me stuck with me - he likened HIV to his shadow, to a ghost: it follows you wherever you go, it haunts you 24/7, 365 days a year for the rest of your life. He said "the last thing I know before I fall asleep is that it's there, inside me. The first thing I think of when I wake up is: another day with HIV by my side. HIV is the most loyal and trustworthy partner I've ever had. HIV will never cheat on you or leave you for someone else." That sure scared the hell out of me!! And if someone's scared into having safer sex thanks to my comment, then so much the better! This is not something to be playing games with." MR DISCODAN, Fridae

送给你一个故事
从前, 有一个脾气很坏的男孩,他的爸爸给了他一袋钉子,告诉他每次发脾气或者跟人吵架的时候就在院子的篱笆上钉一根。第一天,男孩钉了37 根钉子。后面的几天他学会了控制自己的脾气,每天钉的钉子也逐渐减少了。他发现,控制自己的脾气,实际上比钉钉子要容易的多。终于有一天,他一根钉子都没有钉,他高兴地把这件事告诉了爸爸。爸爸说:从今以后,如果你一天都没有发脾气,就可以在这天拔掉一根钉子。日子一天一天过去,最后,钉子全被拔光了。爸爸带他来到篱笆边上,对他说:儿子,你做得很好 , 可是看看篱笆上的钉子洞,这些洞永远也不可能恢复了。就象你和一个人吵架,说了些难听的话,你就在他心里留下了一个伤口,像这个钉子洞一样。插一把刀子在一个人的身体里,再拔出来,伤口就难以愈合了。无论你怎么道歉,伤口总是在那儿。要知道,身体上的伤口和心灵上的伤口一样都难以恢复。
你的朋友是你宝贵的财产,他们让你开怀,让你更勇敢。他们总是随时倾听你的忧伤。你需要他们的时候,他们会支持你,向你敞开心扉。告诉你的朋友你多么爱他们,告诉所有你认为是朋友的人。

You are so low.
This idiot today from Equity is the second most irritating person I have ever met during an interview. All full of himself. w/o even a proper greeting, he just sat there, like an elephant, too heavy to move a inch. Not even a handshake. Nevermind. And thru'out the entire meeting, there was no smile, nor comments - good or bad. The only conversation we had was brief and unpleasant. He doesn't listen, and nor was he even interested to hear from me. His statements were biased and to certain extend, silly. No, stupid. I had wanted so much to just stand up and leave. But I didn't and I m glad I didn't, otherwise I would look really unprofessional – and he wasn't worth having me presenting myself that way.
I do learn one thing today : When the chemistry is not there, nothing else matter.
"You obnoxious insecure old-timer, it is people like you that make the local creative industry so painful and distasteful."

潘玮柏
Wilber Pan (born 6 August 1980), also known as Will Pan, is an American-born Taiwanese singer, rapper and drama actor, who started his career as a host of Channel V programs. Born into an extremely wealthy family, Pan was raised in West Virginia, United States and later moved to Taiwan at the age of seven. He attended Taipei American School and graduated in 1999. Because of his multicultural background, he is fluent in both Mandarin and English. However, Pan is unable to read and write Chinese. Before launching his acting and singing career, he attended Cal Poly Pomona in the United States, but dropped out for poor grades. He still retains his dual citizenship in the U.S.A. and Taiwan to avert the mandatory military service in Taiwan.
Poor doggy
Ah pui's condition hasn't really improve every much still as his eyes are still rather sore and infected. Poor doggy. I need to feed him anti-botics via a syringe every morning and mother will feed him in the evening. The doctor said he will only recover very slowly... But at least he is back to his jumpy self again now.
He needs a jab every once a week for eight times...
sigh....

She is not your typical cutie pie with beautiful Sandy voice; she is unique and very butch.
It's about time a gay person do us proud.

US gay men mostly getting HIV from main partners
As much as possible I would like to not mention design in this blog but I cant help but to post these posters. I think they are excellent, so direct and effective. I m speaking from a gay man's point of view, I can so relate to it.
They are clear in their message w/o being crude with the visuals. No beautiful boys posing silly looking pretty for the sake of being pretty, and they uses real people san-makeups or hairstyling.
The tagline is often the make or break factor to a campaign and this one absolutely caught my attention. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW?" I am a sucker for out-of-the-box solutions and because often in local commercial art, your sales will be caught up with proper English so that they can sell a concept to clients. I have had enough of "Does it read right?", "Do people get it?", "Something's not so smooth with the way it's being phrased" blah blah blah.... To hell with those. I m more concern with making people think after reading than, with the politically correct presentation of the wordings.
Of cos, with such tasteful use of typography, it's just great icing on the cake.

驛 –– 林慧萍 + 黃舒駿
Thanks to Eddy for providing me the source to this ONE absolute all time favourite song of mine:
火車站的候車室
時常坐著一位打扮整齊的中年婦人
手裡抱著一個老式皮箱
游目張望 似乎在期待什麼
第一次見到婦人是他高中的時候
每天夜裡從桃園通車到台北補習
深夜十一點回到桃園
婦人總是準時地坐在候車室的木椅上
等待著的姿勢 不安的眼神
端整的打扮 好像在等待著某一個約好的人
起先他沒有特別留意她 可是時間一久
尤其是沒有旅客的時候
婦人就格外顯的孤寂
有一天他終於下定決心
在候車室等待那婦人離去
一直到深夜落 一直到凌晨一點
婦人才站了起來
走到候車室的黑板前用粉筆寫著
「水, 等你沒等到, 我先走了. 英 留」
那時他才知道
原來候車室長久以來的這則留言是出自那婦人
後來車站的老人告訴他
婦人已經在候車室坐了二十幾年了
有人說她瘋了 有人說曾看見她打開皮箱
箱裡裝的是少女時代的衣服
大部分的人都說 在二十幾年前那個夜晚
英和她的水約好在車站碰面
要私奔到某一個不知名的地方
可是叫水的那個男人卻缺席了
有一天他回家的時候 不再看到英的影子
問了車站許多人都不知道為什麼
這風雨無阻的婦人那一天沒有來 第二天的清晨
英殘缺的身體被發現在鐵道上
皮箱滾到很遠的地方
旅客留言板上有她的字跡 只改了幾個字
「水, 等你三十年, 我先走了. 英 留」
就這樣 斷了線 就真這樣 不再相見
飛出了時間 飛出天邊 飛到另外一個 沒有我的天
經過許多年 所有的眷戀 飄浮在時空裡 沒有終點
人生是一張 泛黃的相片 而我站在車站靜止的畫面
火車站的候車室
時常坐著一位打扮整齊的中年婦人
手裡抱著一個老式皮箱
游目張望 似乎在期待什麼
第一次見到婦人是他高中的時候
每天夜裡從桃園通車到台北補習
深夜十一點回到桃園
婦人總是準時地坐在候車室的木椅上
等待著的姿勢 不安的眼神
端整的打扮 好像在等待著某一個約好的人
起先他沒有特別留意她 可是時間一久
尤其是沒有旅客的時候
婦人就格外顯的孤寂
有一天他終於下定決心
在候車室等待那婦人離去
一直到深夜落 一直到凌晨一點
婦人才站了起來
走到候車室的黑板前用粉筆寫著
「水, 等你沒等到, 我先走了. 英 留」
那時他才知道
原來候車室長久以來的這則留言是出自那婦人
後來車站的老人告訴他
婦人已經在候車室坐了二十幾年了
有人說她瘋了 有人說曾看見她打開皮箱
箱裡裝的是少女時代的衣服
大部分的人都說 在二十幾年前那個夜晚
英和她的水約好在車站碰面
要私奔到某一個不知名的地方
可是叫水的那個男人卻缺席了
有一天他回家的時候 不再看到英的影子
問了車站許多人都不知道為什麼
這風雨無阻的婦人那一天沒有來 第二天的清晨
英殘缺的身體被發現在鐵道上
皮箱滾到很遠的地方

It is just a really bad flu
Dear friend,
There is a saying 'God knows that you're stronger than most people and that's why he had set you tougher obstacles in life'. I know you have been very strong and capable. Believe in yourself. I believe in you.

I am just answerable to myself and nobody else
I have tendered my resignation, AGAIN! But this time round, I don't wish to change my mind, I want to stick to my plan, and that's to leave the shit-hole. I have been putting my own interests on hold for way too long, and being me I have little patience for issues unresolved. Now finally I am free and feeling light on my head. Be happy for me because I am so happy for myself; I have so much I wanna do and this will be a start.

"Good Morning!"
It is now 5:59am on a Sunday morning :) Feeling all fresh and great cos I stayed up whole night (not doing work but...) watching Project Runway online. :D Decided to post something...
Just occur to me that I have not had anyone greeting me "Good Morning" or me greeting anyone ever since I started work at my current office. It is just not their culture there. At all.

And please do. To see Simon Cow's expression is already worth it!
Cant embed any videos so, here are the screen shots ....
Susan Boyle is about to sing...
Shes aspired to be the next Elaine Page....
Listening in...
And she sang....
Here are the Lyrics
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high,
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made and used,
And wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung,
No wine untasted.
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame.
And still I dream he'll come to me
And we will live our lives together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms
We cannot weather...
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seems
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.
