"trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if it's broken, but you can still see the crack in that mother-fucker's reflection."
you can let the sun in
Six billion smaller worlds on the bigger one.
Shoe salesmen and short-order cooks who look boring from the outside
- some have weirder lives than you.
Six billion stories, every one an epic,
full of tragedy and triumph,
good and evil,
despair and hope.
You and me - we aren’t so special, bro.
you can say something
you can enrich your mind

Here's an article about Friendster in the October Rolling Stones issue. [Taken from page 108, under Hot Social Disease]
FRIENDSTER - First it changed your life. Then it ruined it.
In the absence of any anthemic jams this year - no 'Hot in Herre', no 'Get Your Freak On' - Friendster.com was the only bona fide pop sensation of the summer of 2003. When America needed a star, Friendster came along. It was Just Here to Help, and it helped us into a computer sugar coma, as we the people got addicted to playing with other people's lives like baseball cards. Collect them all, add and delete, be the first in your network to crack a hundred, browse your own iPod playlist of human beings, some of whom you've even met. It's all part of consummating our Open Marriage to Friendster. It's a beautiful day in the Friendsterhood. Won't you be my Friendster?
Everybody keeps swearing they'll ditch Friendster soon. But until the site starts charging money, which will clear the room faster than fuck, Friendster is the hotel where you check out but never leave. You live with the struggle not to Friendster with your high school girlfriend. You live with Friendster because Friendster lives with you. And if you unplug it, you'll just make it mad. In other words, Friendster life if surprisingly similar to dealing with your real friends. It's pure hell.

This week has been unproductive. We haven't done anything major since yesterday. Maybe because most of the things we can do has been done and the main part where you actually have to extract the info from the WWW hasnt been set up also. Great. Let's prolong it.
Serene my best bud has been stung by something and she's in great pain. I really hope she gets well soon.

Two cents worth:
1. Elite Model Singapore Representative 14 year old Zhang Manlu has gotta to be one of the ugliest models I ever seen. Singapore models, Miss Singapore Universe and Singapore S League Teams can never make it big.
2. What's the big deal on Sun Ho's red dress? She has no breasts. She can't sing. She fakes her accent. She can't act. If she had known that her huge involvement in City Harvest church will cause her much rift on her entertainment scene, then why come in? Ha. Showing her videos before church starts. Wow free publicity. She sucks.
3. National Sprinter U.K Shaym in trouble over whether to run or not to run. For 90k, dude u better run. Hope u solve ur problems first.
4. Everybody's seem to be running in marathons. Trust me, marathons are the freakiest last things on my minds.
5. I finally got my allowance and it felt good to have money on your side.
6. I still don't understand the big hoo ha about the Ez link card.
7. Now you can update your blog with SMS and stuff on your hp or PDA. It's for those people who wanted to update their blogs but didn't want to wait until they reach home. It's called Moblog. Talk about more kiasuism.
8. Movies that are worth my money: Lord of the Rings: Return of the King and Mona Lisa Smile
9. Someone said: True beauties are the ones single. True?
10. I am not using Dove Shampoo and Conditioner again. I still hate the commercials.
11. I am irritated with the Manhattan card ad. 'Manhattan belongs to me' slogan has gotta to be the most annoying ever. And no, reverse psychology don't work on us.
12. I am still gonna add in my two cents no matter what.

Went to my father's 2nd brother (Uncle 2) house warming at Sembawang. Much bigger than their ex house. The pity is that only husband, wife and son are living in. Their 2 daughters are married off thus. I told my mom and dad today that when I get married, it's best that we live next door (geddit, so that I could go over for dinner and such. Heh). However, my parents disagreed. Darn.
Next location was at the carpark near the National Stadium. They had this motor race going on, all Subaru cars. There were professional drivers around, showing off their skills. Lucky by-standers got a chance to test those racing Subaru cars. Because they can't do this to their beloved cars, thus they braked the cars so hard that you can actually smell the tyres burning. Just imagine those scenes where you brake, let go of the hand clutch like a bloody professional. And those who wrote down their names at the booth also got a lucky chance to sit with a real professional driver. Man the driver was doing a drifting then suddenly he couldnt brake in time and slammed into the side, spilling water onto the crowd! Hahahah those people standing there were drenched. My dad, bro and I laughed. I don give a shit anyway. I got 2 free Subaru tattoos on my arm. Wuhoo.
Dad dropped Mum and me at City Plaza at Geylang Serai. I didnt buy anything at all. First, the clothes there sucked. Second, it was damn expensive. The clothes there are like those Malaysian kind, skimpy and auntie-like. $35 for a short skirt. How not worth it. I wasn't at all interested. And it was close to breaking fast time and so many freaking people. Irritated me like hell.

Weekends were fun. Spent chilling time with Serene and Azlina. My throat's still a little hoarse but hope it's improving.
Went to school today to officially start on our FYP. Spent about 2 hours fiddling on how to connect to SQL then in the end it just took us 10 mins to configure. We just trialled and errored everything. Now the main question is: How to extract the 'live' prices from Internet to SQL then to Visual Basic? Sigh after that we still have to debug errors and add special features. Just hope everything turns out ok for this month.
I just watched A WALK TO REMEMBER on dvd just now. It made it to my favourite movies list. I LOVE SHANE WEST

It's over!!!! Over!!! My exams are over!!!Wuhoo!!
Yesterday's paper (MMSP) was difficult. But hell I tried my best and just hoped I can pass it.
I tend to be at home all day cuz from tomorrow onwards I'll be in school rushing my HUGE headache of all times, my FYP. Sigh Sigh Sigh. I promised Serene that if I get a B for my fyp, I am gonna do cartwheels. Yes, cartwheels.
I went out with Huihui, Serene(my class) and Sonia to Bugis after the paper. We were in Bugis Village and in a shop when suddenly this old woman started screaming. At first I thought who was she screaming to? Then when we walked out of the shop, she was screaming to herself and kept hitting herself with her umbrella. She kept grumbling and screaming for about 15 mins at that spot. Frankly, I was scared to death when we knew we had to walk past her to OG. I was really scared shitless man. I thought she was pitiful and mental at the same time, I was afraid that she might come and grab us or sth so yea... Then she went on to another spot. Phew.
I am having a really bad sore throat now. The phlegm just kept on increasing. Ugh Ugh Ugh.

Friday:
Had my BBC paper. The day came after 4 continous days of staying at home doing the same old routine. My paper was ok as in I could do most of the questions. Somehow, I came out of the room a little disappointed and shaky. It's those one of those papers where you are just not sure of whether you can score or not. Sigh. I am competitive, I know. But it's over!!! 4 days of memorising all day finally over. I hope I will get at least a B. Took a self proclaimed break the whole night then watched Survivor 7. The whole show left me agape. The Outcasts are back?! What the hell. I thought it was unfair becuz Drake and Morgan were surviving a long time and suddenly those who were voted out like long time ago(they had the food, the energy to recharge) had the chance to come back. Pure unfair. Sure, the show's creative this way but damn it's just not right.
Saturday:
Studied only a pathetic first chapter of MMSP. Final paper's on 5 NOV. After that, it's gonna be Fyp. How exciting. Truthfully, I am scared shitless for MMSP. As you all would notice if all are faithful readers, I failed my mid sem test for it, 46. I dont understand a thing for this term. Not a thing. Are things looking bright or what. Sigh. I guess I have to call people and start asking. I seriously do not want to repeat this module, period. I hope. Went to JB, Malaysia to eat dinner with Mom and Dad. Bro went to camp. Just shopped and spent time with Mom and Dad. Btw, my mind's still freaking full of BBC. I gotta erase that cuz I want no TOTAL RECALL( hint, Governor Arnie)
I suddenly realized, I havent been having a crush on anybody for a long time now. I know I am 100% straight but there seem to be no sparks anywhere. Am I normal?
