Thrills and Spills.

Ah finally all results are back. Overall, it was rather disappointing, especially geography and economics. I was really hoping not to get a strings of Es but amazingly I managed to do it again. I mean the level of consistency in me is just like what teachers and uni interviewers are looking for, so I guess it ain't that bad. But on the other hand, i feel better just looking at tSg's MSN nick: why can't it be Aconomics? Good question.

Oh wells, results are BORING. I ain't gonna talk about them no more. It has really been a long time since I last blogged, but ah not my fault k- my life is more boring than you can ever imagine. Finally something exciting happened yesterday and today, I AM GONNA TAKE REVENGE ON NORMEN GOH. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA DIEEE.

It's raining now... I wanna go out to play. I hate studying. I guess I am never gonna ever have ever studied so much in my entire life in the next coming month. Alevelsuckkkkkss. Tomorrow's Hari Raya so happy Hari Raya to Norazlin and Mohammad before I forget. Hope to go your house for some green bao and toys.

By the way, I thought through the question of why guys emo after Norazlin showed us the corny picture. But it's like not everybody can be labelled "emo". It's not easy to like determine who is and who isn't emo too cos as najib stressed, there is like this emo-happy continuum, so the difference between emos and happys these days are blurred. Even EmoBoys are allowed to smile and pinch cheeks these days.


Here's lecture 1: How to talk to Emo Boys.

1. Give him some space. Don't rush up to him and start blurting at the first opportunity. Unless you're dead lucky, this will probably irritate/startle/freak him out a lot. So try and give him a little space-- don't stare too much, don't be too heavy, etc.

2. Find out what he's interested in. You don't have to dig to find out what he likes and what he's interested in. Some ways to figure this out would be:
Observing his clothes. T-shirts with band names or pictures on them may be a dead giveaway to what he's interested in, so keep your eyes peeled.

3. Studying his possessions. Don't become a freaky stalker, but try to get a glimpse of his bag, or something like that. Why he has a bag, I don't know but if he does just walk away. But what's on there may also give you a clue of what he's interested in.

4. Observing his friends. If you know any of them, they might have the same interests. Or you can look at what they do together--listen to music, talk about a certain band, paint their nails, make out...if you have to talk to his friends then you're seriously pathetic.

5. Do Your Research on Emo's. If you know a little - or a lot - about the Emo culture, you're more likely to have a good conversation and impress him. So look them up. Try to find some Emo bands and give them a listen.

6. Find the right time. Don't try to strike up a flirtatious conversation if he's tied to a train track. Okay, that may not happen, but use your common sense to figure out when would be the best time to talk to him. If he's in trouble or looking irritated, avoid chatting-you'll most probably get negative results. But if he looks pretty normal and isn't busy, gather up your courage and try your luck.

7. Don't babble. If you don't talk often, babbling away about yourself--or him--may startle or annoy him. You don't want to scare him off if you've come this far. Try to keep it short and sweet. Talk about something that he can contribute to as well-- it makes the conversation a lot better and more enjoyable.

8. Compliment him. Everyone loves a compliment, so if you want to please him, give him one. As you probably know, complimenting an Emo guy is a little different. But here are some basic things you can say to him:
"Did you get that shirt at a show? It's awesome."
"I like your (item of clothing/possession)-- where'd you get it?"

So as you can see from point 8, usually it's very simple to spot emo guys cos they have really good and unique sense of fashion from like the usual dark clothings. This guy is cool but I've only seen him once. If someone manages to spot him in VJ again please tell me! He's so emo-cool (think starwars)!


So anybody (Norazlin) need any tips on EmoBoys? Too shy to approach them (YeeJek)? Just drop me a msg on the tagboard if you guys have a question and I'll be glad to help out. If you are too shy, feel free to contact me privately via email at emoboys_anonymous@hotmail.com.

Goodbye Prelims.

It's back to becoming a full time slacker now. Finally a break after a seemingly endless prelims exams. YUCKS.

Oh and not forgetting our most successful class outing yet, we had almost half the class going out for lunch and movie so it's Wall-e x2 for me. After which we started to stone and tSg and sugarush decided to leave sneakily when we were trying to decide what to do after that. TSK. Went to Borders which was when I was bored to death so decided to leave sneakily like tSg and sugarush to meet Adriel who was also sneakily mugging again at a sneaky corner which I can't reveal.

Met up with Yee Jek soon after who was doing something sneaky too (as usual), then went to catch some dinner at this powerful place. Seriously, powerful is the correct word. It's like some kind of strange Japanese restaurant which is full of Chinese waiters and waitresses so I felt kinda cheated. It's call Beppu Menkan Japanese Noodle Restaurant.

Check out their logo. Don't get like deceived- it's seriously like some 七月 kinda symbol -.- but their noodles are no joke man.


Opening the menu will already shock you. They have dishes named after stuff like Red Blood Hell, Poison Hell, Bloody Hell, etc etc which was initially a joke for us too cos it seriously seemed screwed up.

Don't you think it looks like a bloody hell indeed? It's almost like noodles soaked in blended chilli juice.


And much thanks goes to Adriel to lend me his face to show how powerful the noodles were. To quote from the man, "my eyes were ejaculating tears all over the shop." I suppose it's quite hard to imagine that so I got some video to help stimulate your senses.



He didn't even finish his 8 chilli hot noodles. Mine was 4 LOL (heng ah).


Sigh the next few days were rather stoned with not too many happening stuff so I had to organise some myself. Went to shoot around Hougang which turn out rather fun.


Don't you think this is a really strange tree? What a mess.


Ah and today went to pool with a couple of peeps- Pong, Zeri, Maho and... me. It was good fun and the Courtesy Warriors finally got to meet. There was much staring on the streets but still, we were proud of our jobs.

A Great Depression.

Ah such an eventful week.


As if prelims was not depressing enough, while we were happily and ignorantly scribbling on our authentic VJC exam foolscrap (secretly hoping that we can save the world with the A on a piece of paper) with a special hole on the top left hand corner as a mark of quality , the world was already melting now.


First it was Northern Rock. Now, Lehman Brothers (just look at them. they SECRETLY knew that this was gonna happen. you can almost tell from that smile) have collapsed together with the surprise sale of Merrill Lynch to Bank of America for mere US$50 billion. Together with the bailout 2 of the largest mortgage giants Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), it seemed like nothing is impossible to fail now. And now American International Group (AIG) is also on the verge of bankruptcy should it fail to raise US$20 billion by wednesday.

Don't think you're not affected. (gasp! me?!) Yes you. Stop giving me that kind of stare.


You probably are one of the millions of people insured under AIA and yes that's a subsidiary of AIG. IGNORANT FOOLS YOU.

Bank runs. Imagine MEGA BANK RUNS. Imagine you, 65 years old, retiring this year with all your entire life savings gone overnight. 65 years of hard work mugging so hard for that 4As in VJC gone OVERNIGHT. It's a really terrible thing. All that borrowing to spend in US has finally gotten back to bite their backsides. And it's a really bad bite- imagine like a big slice of that flesh gone and it's getting infected with like yellowish pus oozing out. There's no way US can sit down now.

There's only a question of who's next- Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley. It's good to keep up with what's happening, especially if you're an Economics student. Being an Economics student is not just all about calculating opportunity cost of reading up on current affairs vs studying for prelims. Cough.

And you probably wouldn't be stroking (or rubbing) your piggy bank if you know the gravity of the issues at hand now.


Okay thanks for reading. That post is to fulfill my dream of working at wall street as a private banker for rich people like Chen Corporation etc. Don't you think I seriously sound serious like a REAL investment banker working there?

Mugged.

I realised it has been awhile since I last updated, thanks to 无抵抗 for the kind reminder.


But seriously, there really anything happening about my life these days. This photo aptly describes my life for the past weeks. (okdoesntmeanimconstantlymuggingbutatleastitriedtothinkaboutitevenwheniplaydoesitcount?)

It's like I am beginning to be transform my life into a full-time mugger and a 100%-ready-to-take-exam-anytime guy. One can perhaps obviously tell from the photo that I have been drinking alot of coffee lately. In addition, there's "The Mug" too. Like OMG IT'S THE MUGGGGG!!!!

Shit.

I am blogging nonsense. Why did 无抵抗 even try to ask me to blog. Plus it's supposedly a waste my precious mugging time too. Oh yes thinking slightly harder there were cool things that happened to me.

1. My phone screwed up. First it was the camera. Then the screen when i slide it up. Then it's the speaker and microphone. Now it's the screen even when it's down. So are you happy now? HAPPY THAT MY PHONE IS SPOILED? VERY ENTERTAINING IS IT???

2. Even cooler. I was crossing the zebra crossing near VJ and this truck DRIFTED in front of me. I was like ZOMFG WTFF??! I tried to google like "drifting truck" to find a photo, BUT THERE WASN'T EVEN ONE ON GOOGLE!! This was the best I got:


Can you like imagine how rare it is for a truck to drift. AND HOW FREAKING DANGEROUS??!! Although it's cool to die getting hit by a drifting truck but I'd rather still die getting knocked down normally by a non-drifting Lamborghini in any case. (if anyone of you were thinking of knocking me down)

Okay cool right my life? I bet you muggers out there don't have a life as cool as mine. LOSERS.
