Steven Lim

Yes, I admit it. I am a fan of Steven Lim. I have decided to add him to my list as a show of support. Yes, some people think I am crazy and weird in admiring someone who stripped down to his famous yellow brief and danced in front of the judges for Singapore Idol last year. Nevertheless, hey, he is living his dreams man!

One thing about him. He has guts. He doesn’t know embarrassment, which is what is holding a lot of us back from doing what we desire in the first place. For fear of being ridicule at by others. What is wrong in one's view may be right in the eyes of others. Looking at what he had written and encountered in his blog, it hit me that his life is actually fun. There may be moments of depress, sad and uncertainties in his life but who doesn’t? The fact is he does not give up. People say he is a clown or joker but I say at least he is good at it.

For one thing, this guy definitely has bigger balls than Kenny Sia's Coconuts.

A Tab Too Far

There are certain type of abuse I never thought I would be subjected to but it sprung on me anyway without warning and left me surprised and angry. This is the sort of occurrences that would seem to happen only in movies, mainly comedy. What am I talking about?

Well, a fortnight ago, as I was waiting to pick my fiancee up from work, I parked my bike in a certain car park in YISHUN. As I was getting off my ride, “Smack!” I investigated closer and found the source of the noise to be an egg. A broken egg. Someone had just thrown an egg from his or her flat beside the car park and it just missed me by inches, impacting on my front tire instead. I looked up trying to source out the culprit but as to be expected, a futile effort. My goodness, I thought, you got to be kidding me!

In the past, prankster would throw down packets or balloons filled with water but I never encountered an incident with eggs being thrown before. I am not in some bloody riots now, am I? Anyway, I just laughed it off...for now.

So 5 days later when I went and picked up my fiancee in the SAME parking lot, in the SAME spot, after I meet up with her and proceed to my bike, what do I see? Her helmet was stolen this time! Good grief! Now I'm really pissed!

I would normally just place the helmets on the seats as they are quite old and damaged so, I thought it would not have any complications. Why would anyone wants to steal an old and damaged helmet anyway?!! It is not even a SHOEI helmet. Just your regular $45-$60 helmet. A couple of other bikes beside me also left their helmets on their seat where else only mine was stolen.

My fiancee pointed out to me that it is obviously a calculated crime targeted at me since it happened twice.

I told her it MUST be a crime to be handsome and have a beautiful fiancee that it irks some sort of jealously attack from moronic asshole.

Seriously, did people really have a kick out of doing such stuff? I have a friend whose younger brother stole an old helmet (One of those idiots) from a shopping centre parking lot and was caught red –handed via their security video cameras. He ended up paying a fine of $5000 or risked going to jail. Is it really worth the cheap trills for these people to be committing such petty crimes? I guess the idea of causing others disturbances and inconveniences are really fun and exciting.

Lucky there is an industrial area opposite the road where I could purchase a new helmet for my fiancee. On a lighter note, she seems very pleased to be wearing a new and fashionable helmet.

How We Behave : Window Shopping

Most guys that I know hate window-shopping except for a couple of odd friends of mine. (In fact, I only knew one who enjoys it! He is a crazy fellow.) Nevertheless, guys do window shop otherwise there would not be so much men hanging around shopping centers, boutiques and (My goodness give me a break) cosmetics stalls. In addition, if you noticed, there is bound to be a ‘SHE’ nearby. Well...maybe there's a 'HE' (Just to be fair) but we'll stick to more tradition pairing here. Whether we do it willingly or reluctantly (Cos we love our other half) , it does not matter as long as you women are happy. We will be happy to just spend time with you. (Even though we rather be hanging out with the guys doing nothing and just wasting our lives away)

The thing that irritates me the most during these window shopping routine is 70% of the time would be spent entering and trying out dresses, skirts in boutiques and any other types of cloth that is manufactured and shaped out to be some sort of in-fashion items. Although there is really nothing wrong with the whole thing but I really have to complain about the space available in those boutiques shops.

The usual practice is that guys will be standing outside the changing room area waiting for their ladies to try out the clothes. However, have you noticed how crowded it can get? The smaller the shop, the bigger the customer pool is. In addition, it is not because of the size of the shop that is smaller thus, naturally meaning less walking area than the bigger spacious ones. NO. The smaller the shop, the number of customers is greater literally!!

Moreover, while we do try to avoid blocking other patrons of the store when they’re browsing through the lines of clothing on sale, there really is no place we can stand cos every inches is fully utilized and filled with clothing everywhere. Every 5 minutes, someone would say, “Excuse me”. In turn, you have to say sorry and find another spot to stand and before you know it, you have to move again. It’s like a swarm of ants following you around cos you taste like something sweet and they can’t wait to sunk their tiny teethes and claws onto you with each “Excuse me”.

There will always be a group of guys like me standing about, moving here and there cos their lady is also in the changing. We will look at each other and give a slight nod with our heads. It is as if we knew each other for a long time cos we are in the same plight and understand the pain. Moreover, you really can’t stand and wait outside of the store anyway, especially in orchard shopping complex cos there is normally a never-ending moving crowd along the passageway. I feel like a small peddle in the lake being thrown into a river where people are a lot more casual with their “Excuse me!” and in a ruder tone.

Some of these women can be pretty nasty. They will bang into you or shoo you while giving you those ‘Get out of my way you asshole’ look as though it is really our intention to stand there and block their path. Maybe because it is a store, selling women clothing that is why they feel they have the rights of way. We got no business just standing. Competition is tough between the female species. Got to get their hands on that piece of fabrics or whatever you girls called it else someone is going to beat them to it and that particular design would be out of stocks. Especially for women who are petite like my fiancee. Finding a design that comes in their sizes is like striking 4D. Many times, when she found a design she likes, it would be sold out even though the series have just been release a couple of days ago. She would ask the sales clerk to call up Almost EVERY outlet in Singapore and check if there is still stock. In turn I have to drive her to the most outskirt and remote area of Singapore if that's the store which carry the last remaining ONE piece left on the island! It is good in a positive aspect cos I knew every road and directions in Singapore by now and is able to take up a job as a taxi driver without any difficulties.

Singapore Most Eligible Bachelors

If you ladies/men are expecting Tay Ping Hui or George Clooney, get out now before you scorch your eyes! You're in the wrong website!

I seldom do this. In fact never! But a couple of days back when the boys called me out for a drink and complained why didn't I introduce any ladies to them, I decided to comply. They are too cheapskate to go to a dating agency, too lazy to do it themselves, too shy to approach unknown women and too desperate enough to remind me every time we meet.

And I'm sick of them complaining I spend too little time with them, have to inform and ask permission from my fiancee in order to congregate, bitching about how much I'm “Not man enough” anymore now that I'm attached and refused to join me on occasions or outings if I brought my fiancee along. Hello...this is call RESPECT ok?! This is call LOVE! This is call “Constantly thinking about the other half”. You seriously need to grow up guys. I hope them DO get attached and then they will know what I am talking about.

Here we go. By the way, you two wankers owe me a drink...EACH!

Taking a leak can be so enticing

There is supposed to be another guy meeting us but he flew our kite. Called him up and his grumpy voice answered and told us he is asleep. Goodness I felt as though I am back in primary school where irresponsible kids will stood you up now and then. Hello, is it so hard to send us a text message saying you cannot make it? What if I didn't call up and we waited like three idiotic monkeys for you? Do you do it to your boss? No, then you had better show us your long time friends more respect. We have all lost enough friends to heaven to know that we should not treat anyone or anything for granted. Anyway, it would not be nice if I just feature those two jokers above, so I decided to help spread your good looks points to the world as well.

Vandalism

In Singapore or in fact, every country in the world, you will find people complaining no matter how good the systems are. Because everyone is unique in their own ways and it is not possible to have one singular governing system to charter to everyone's needs and ambitions, there are bound to be some dissatisfactions brewing beneath the surface.

In Singapore however, it is our national pastime and damn, are we good at it!!

So how do some folks voice their dissatisfactions? By vandalizing public properties. I am sure all of us will come across scribbling words in coffee shop toilets or void deck walls, even in our own housing elevators. The contend includes sentences like “PAP sucks” or “Down with PAP”.
(PAP : People's Action Party )

No flaming please people. For the record, I am PRO-PAP. You have your reasons for voting for the OPPOSITION, I have my reasons for voting PAP. In addition, it is not because of reasons like some of my associates at work who voted for the OPPOSITION would simply say, in their own words, “Because I don't like PAP.” Just like that! They have no ideas and doesn't care what both parties have done or are doing. They just cast their votes according to which political group they like. Good grief! If there are more of such people around, Singapore are doom, no matter which constitution is running the country!

However, what happens if you saw the vandalism or prejudications below on the walls of your elevators?

I would say there is a greater problem being revealed here wouldn't you? The most disturbing thing however, is this statement below.

Some people truly have too much time on their hands. Hmm....could it be the knocker again?

Observation: Time Practice

Do you happen to know anyone who has a habit of setting their clocks/watches or any time telling devices ahead of the actual time? 15 minutes? 30 minutes? An hour maybe? Perhaps you, yourself are guilty of such practices. Why do so?

I inquired with the people who have such habitude and the unitary answer I can get (Other than they do it for fun) is that so they will not be late for any appointments they might have and they would be on time for whatever functions or events awaiting them. The idea is to establish a more efficient time management plan and by looking at their pre-set clocks/watches which is, let us say 15 minutes ahead of actual time, it creates a sense of urgency whereby they would rush to get things done cos they know they have 15 minutes left to complete whatever they need to do.

My question is this:
If you KNOW your clocks/watches is set ahead of the actual time and you KNOW exactly how much time is left before your deadline is reach then, what is the purposes of setting your clocks/watches ahead in the first place? Isn't it the same if you were to program your time devices to match the actual time? This makes the whole custom quite redundant wouldn't you agree?

I just don't get it!
