TT#3: Things I’d like to buy…

March 22, 2007 on 10:14 am | In Thursday Thirteen, meme | 5 Comments
Thirteen Things I’d like to buy right now
1…A MacBook Pro in Black
     Do I really have to explain this one?

2…A Sony T100 Camera in Black
     I need a camera and not only does this fit the functional profile, it’s also really very pretty. haha

3…An IPhone
     Another Apple Accessory. Apple stuff needs no explanation.

4…2 x 1GB RAM Chips
     I’m on 512MB RAM. And it’s all used as soon as i’m done booting up. Bleagh.

5…A pre-order package of Command & Conquer 3
     Have you seen the screenshots and all? Damn. Beauty.

6…A Free Flow Starbucks Card
     Ok. Fine. There’s no such thing. But couldn’t they make one just for me? I’ll pay..ermm…$50 a month?

7…A new pair of shoes
     This is something I so want to buy…The shoes I’m wearing are like years old…And it took me so long to get that one simply because I didn’t like any other shoe. i think I only wear nike. And even then none of the present designs appeal to me right now. double bleagh.

8…A new bag
     Preferably one that’s good for backpacking? Recommendations?

9…A pair of powered Oakley shades
     I’ve always wanted to wear shades…but since I’ve never worn and probably will never wear contacts, I need one that’s well…custom made?

10…A set of solutions to this semester’s exam
       Also another thing that doesn’t exist(at least not until next semester).

11…A 500-piece jigsaw puzzle
      I’ve realised that I don’t have the patience to fix a 1000 piece puzzle. It just takes too long and the satisfaction doesn’t measure up. 500 is just nice. =)

12…A pair of non-expiring return plane tickets to anywhere
       Why a pair? So that I can hopefully use the other ticket to hook up with a girl or something? "Hey babe, wanna go with me?" And if that fails…that’s two trips for me I guess. Haha

13…A pair of movie tickets to any show.
       Probably about the only thing I can afford on this list, I’d love to watch something… anything. I haven’t stepped in the cineplex for a long long time. Was supposed to join a friend later this evening but i scheduled a meeting instead(work always comes first I guess)

Warning.

December 2, 2006 on 11:38 am | In Blog Surfing, Business, Funny Videos, Girls, Java, Lyrics, News, Personal Rants, Programming, Project BlogHeart, Quotes, Random, Reflections, Tech Stuff, Thursday Thirteen, Uncategorized, i'm bored, iamsingaporean, just for laughs, videos | No Comments

I don’t know you. But it seems you know quite a bit about me, and my family. And it seems you’re making serious threats to my family.

Now, i’ll be honest with you. I don’t who you are. I don’t know how exactly much you know. But if you get here, and you’re reading this. Then yes, this is for you.

I am warning you to stay away from my entire family. Settle. If you want, we meet, we settle it one time…If you harm anyone, i’ll tell you what’s going to happen. I’ll drop all my plans - school & work - and I will find you. And I will find everyone who’s working for you. And I will find your family. And I will taste their blood.

From what I know, you sound like an educated person. But if you cannot understand me, i’ll make it simple for you.

You don’t disturb my family, I don’t disturb yours. If you do, i’ll kill your mother, your father, your brother, your sister, your wife, your girlfriends, your children.
…I can find you.

Thursday Thirteen #2

13 Things
that I take to heart

1. My family - As much as I don’t spend enough time with them. As much as I get irritated by them because we share different opinions. They’re family and they’ve been there no matter what I’ve gotten myself into
2. The Middle East Conflict - Ok. If you didn’t know, I’m a moderate muslim. But no. I’m not going to talk about how muslims are mistreated or misunderstood because I know that happens all the time, between people. So it’s really not a religion thing. But…Hey. People are dying. Tons of them. But I can’t do much from where I am can i? So why do I care? Other than the fact that i find it a senseless conflict with pride and ego being the primary basis, if there’s a middle east conflict, oil prices will go up!!! And every knows that when that happens, everything else goes up. The taxi fares go up. The electricity. The water. The food. Everyone’s going to use increasing oil prices to raise their prices. Who loses? ME!!! aaahhh!!!
3. Overconfident People - I just hate how some people that I talk to are so sure of themselves. There are those that shoot you down and have the credentials for it…that’s fine. Then there are those who have nothing in the bag and shoot you anyway. The absolute worst…those who come to me for advice based on the measly credentials that I may have(stuff they don’t have) and then they shoot me! Gee…
4. Being idealistic - I personally think that being idealistic is important. Sure we might never achieve it…but to settle for something realistic really builds a wall around what we perceive as realistic. Up till the point someone actually travelled around the world, we ‘knew’ that the world was flat. So how far does ‘real’ go before it’s ‘ideal’?
5. Passion - This is have not much to say. This is key for anything being done.
6. Honour - I believe quite a fair bit in this. I believe that as people, at the end of the day, we’re really worth as much as our actions and our words. Our character basically.
7. No-Action-Talk-Only - Now, I really don’t like people who keep talking about doing something about something and months or years down the road are still thinking of doing it. You want to do? Do. Otherwise don’t waste time talking about it. I admit, i’m guilty of this sometimes…
8. Boredom - I hate not doing anything. I hate not knowing what i’m supposed to be doing. I the fact that I get very stressed or nervous when i’m just around with no goal.
9. Friends - I am the result of mixing around with my friends. And for that, I am eternally grateful. And for that too, I take my friendships very very very personally.
10. Education - This is really the key to progress. I come from a race that many still perceive as lacking in terms of education.(And no. I am not just referring to the grades). However, I have pretty much broken out of that cycle thanks to my family. Similarly, i think it is this that will help many problems solve themselves. Why do we liberate people who do not want to liberated simply to the fact that the word ‘freedom’ does not exist in their heads? Educate them. And when they see what it is, they’ll want. And they’ll fight for it.
11. People thinking that my goal is to make Tons and Tons of money - Yes. That is what i’m trying to do. But no. That is not my goal. My goal is to achieve my dream which is to be able to have the freedom to live life the way i want to together with the people I love. I also want to have the freedom to affect change. And right now, the currency for that freedom is power…and right now, power is money. It’s just a means to an end. If you told me my dream would granted by kissing a monkey, i’d do just that. =)
12. My spoilt aircon - I have been sleeping in a closed room with just a fan. It’s so hot and humid, i sweat in my sleep. bleagh.
13. Feeling out of place in TT13 - I’ve been blog hopping some TT13 blogs from time to time and really…I’m the only guy. Plus, i’m the only kid. Can someone please tell me that this is perfectly normal….haha
