Common Sense

I think there are quite a lot of smart people out there who lack that certain something called common sense. I guess common sense isn't that common after all. Let me share a little bit of my common sense with you.

1)Sending failed suicide attemptees to JAIL isn't that great an idea. What's that supposed to do? Dissuade them from trying to end their lives again by oh-so-tactfully ruining their future? If we're so eager to punish them, I vote for the Death penalty.

2) In the lift, repeatedly pressing the button of the floor that you are heading to does not make you reach there faster. Tried and tested by Yours Truly countless times.

3) If someone puts SG in their DOTA game name, it means SINGAPORE. So stop joining those games you freaking US, VE, BG, CA, FR and what-have-yous.

I'll continue this later 'cause I'm sleepy already. Zzzz.

Fighting the good fight

I have a terrible confession to make. For those of you who've feared the worst, it's true. I am an addict. I've decided to come out of the closet to face my personal demons and to encourage others to do the same also.

I shall therefore seek to renounce this addiction. It won't be easy that's for sure. Especially since I'm stuck at home. So please give me your encouragement and remember to mention me in your little prayers.

A few of you might be freaking out by now. "No wonder he always look so pale and sickly!!" Yes, the addiction has taken its toll on me physically as it proves to be detrimental to my health. It makes me feel burnt out everytime I wake up the morning after getting my fix.

It is one of, if not the greatest bane of our times. It is known by many names, for it is in the nature of such evil things to be so. The neverending picture show, the Idiot Box, the Brain Masher. It is practically omnipresent in modern society.

It has even spawned cults such as the aptly named Couch Potatoes. It is responsible for destroying the vision of many of our youth, forcing them to wear that encumbering thing called spectacles, which despite its name, is not spectacular at all.

It is available 24/7 to most households. Not satisfied with such paltry achievement, the malaise has spread its filthy hands and has even infiltrated the public transportation in Singapore. Soon there will be nowhere you can turn your head without the threat of the enemy in your face.

It is the all-time numero uno time-waster de facto. The internet is a close second, but our fiend, having spent a longer time in existence, has cunningly retained its simplicity factor and ease of access throughout the ages.

Its faithful followers have turned the act of channel-surfing and button-mashing into an art. Schedules are published daily for everyone to pick the poison of their choice. Even food cannot escape from its grasp as is proven by the existence of TV-dinners.

I have much more to write about this monstrosity that has laid its claim on my life but Sleep is humming his silent song and I can't get it out of my head.

It is possible that I'll continue on another day. Or I might have already been felled by the foe as you read this, in this valiant fight against the stacked odds.

Either way, let this be a testament of the Kerk.

Remember, it is all in your head. The power lies in your hands.

Just say No.

Mr Stiffy

I've got a Stiffy you could probably smash bottles on. Mr Stiffy currently covers 75% of my leg. I can't wait to see the Doc again on the 29th. Hopefully he decides that I'm healing well and cuts Mr Stiffy down to size.

Everything looks gloomy for the short-term future. My hours in the gym have gone up in smoke. My social life is wrapped up around the msn n the irc. My right leg muscles are probably degenerating as I type. The walls are closing in. Blah Blah Blah.

Life is really bad when you know tomorrow is just yesterday in disguise.

Well, at least I'm not going nuts yet.

Or am I.

Decided to post this musing of mine I posted in my old blog around 2 years ago.

Somehow it still makes no sense to me 2 years on but I like it very much.

Probably 'cause it's a product of Yours Truly.



I woke up and saw your shadow
You drifted away I quickly followed

Went out the door and up the hill
The rain was heavy my eyes were veiled
I lost you somewhere along the way
No,no,not again I say

All my hopes were quickly slain
Each step back was one of pain
Chasing shadows yet again

Promise myself not to be a fool
Such a thing will never I do
Back to bed back to sleep
Slumber long and slumber deep

I wake up and see your shadow
You drift away I quickly follow
