Something Strange

Hmmm, dis here is a test post to see if my blog posts are comin out alrite...i seem to be experiencing some difficulties viewing my latest posts..let mi noe if u can't see the posts Half marathon or Triglyphs n Metopes...on my tag board or comments section....ur help is realli appreciated..

Half Marathon

I've run in Singapore and i've run over here, in Australia..Sunday was e day i did e half marathon in Sydney...21 km after being out of shape for so long..

its been quite a while, almost 2 years since i did e half marathon back home with Richard n Kian across e Nichole Highway and East Coast area..back den e armour guys worked togethr as a team to train for e run 3 times a week..e course was crap but e guys saw each other thru..i'll never forget how they were with mi at such critical n hard periods of my life...

i still remember e 52 Bravo, 52 Bravo, are u still ok there? or Ultra engine overheat n need to find techskote oredi? all dat Armour speak..inc. wat is ur kayak? karma at Foxtrot 6-5 over...well, those were hard days n we had to b equally hard to survive..

of course, runnin in Sydney was cooler den e hot n humid climate back home..its a great place to run a half or full marathon as e scenery is great n e views splendid..n at e end, i managed to use e toilet in e Sydney Opera House...n got to see e interior of Jorn Utzon's creation..its a tribute to all international pple in Australia dat something so great got created inspite of all e crap of e local Australian press, govt. n pple..all small-minded, lackin in vision n creativity, force of character n of course, conservative...dat is e worst thing dat i can call pple..conservative...

e only regret n desire of mine is dat Kian n Richard were here with mi as i ran..Damien also.. my true frens..of whom i hav somemore...these are e pple who make mi feel i'm home...anywhere..i hav no doubt dat, if ever, a fren like dat were to get bullied or thrashed, like in Band of Brothers, all of us would find e culprit n bash them up like when one of e privates in Foxtrot Company was knocked down by a drunk driver...(Band Of Brothers, not real life)..even e CSM join in to hunt down e F***er n whack him..n e PC wanted to shoot e driver...rough justice...but we take care of our own..dats army bros for u..

half marathons r as great as ur best companions i say..

Triglyphs n Metopes

back home when there was once a small naive little kid in primary 6 one day in dat galaxy far far away...i found out dat everything a person writes has to make sense n be coherent...or at least follow a logical thought process throughout..like for example a conversation, essay or composition...

dats e process we r tot in sch thruout our years in e 'official' education system..den i came to Australia to study in a land dat is so far removed (from e time of Adam aparentli) from my own culture n world view..n wat do i find? dat pple here in a UNIVERSITY..no less..put together words like Triglyph, Metope, Pediment n listen to dis sh*t...Non-peripetal and Pan-athenaic...(i dun even noe wat these words mean n neither would Shakespeare i believe)..in a manner dat just does not make any sense...


like "the Greeks believed the Metope should be allowed to overflow its bounds, carvings seem to flow fluidly over boundaries on a classical relief and no constraints imposed was the essence of the ultimate Hellenistic Classicism that was about Greek freedom very soon after the Romans then took over but did not introduce any new developments(which is a key symbol of their authoritarian n Patrician behaviour), leading to social decline followed such creative stagnation"....sounds f***in Cheem, makes no grammatical sense if u think about it n definiteli should not b e kind of stupid argument w/o evidence a uni student shd give...


that piece got High Distinction... wats wrong with Singapore? why can't they just allow us to talk crap like dat w/o consequences n w/o justification of wat we say?we r losin out 2 these cocks who can't even string words 2gether dat make reasonabl sense..its horridly Unreasonable.....

tell mi wats so wrong with our pesudo-Western/Eastern mix of cultures in Singapore, exemplified by e use of Singlish dat makes us seem 2 lose out? in other ages, such fusion (ang mo for Rojak) would b called Justinian Synthesis, Romanesque or Renaissance...why not our age n culture? Let SInglish be the new "Western-esque" language of the world n Singapore! n stop all e in e modern world people are rational and behave/speak logically...they dun lor...

Work keeps going on n keeps mi going on

work is something dat never fails to get mi movin out of solitude n out of self-pity n sometimes self-righteousness..

if u think bout it, bad daez at sch are not so uncommon dat one shd feel victimized by them..they come n go n after a gd sleep or rest, we forget bout them e next dae..its not like u hav a sick relative or loved one in hospital n hav to keep worryin bout them do u?bad criticism/remarks from tutors, frens n enemies r just part of dat thing called life...

i've made e consious decision to not let such stuff get to mi..just like i did not let bad daez/pple in e army get 2 mi when i was servin..just another dae..n i once heard some1 say dat he was amazed by e amount of Sh*t a human bein can take by gettin out of bed, gettin dressed n goin to work/sch again for as long as it takes to get e job done..

Christ did say dat in e world a person will face troubles (endlessli)..but in Him do we not hav peace? so then, e peace in mi is greater den e issues n cares of life out there aroun mi..n moreover, life's a race to e finish line isn't it? if so, it seems i've got a great vcrowd of supporters n frens (many whom i dun noe n hav done dis b4) who r clappin n waitin for mi to reach e tape n break it..not too bad kiddo is wat i'd like 2 hear from dat special Someone then..

by e wae ah,wat e f*** is it with e weather over here? just when u think its all sunny n spring-like..den it starts rainin for 2-3 daez continuousli n even hails ice..totalli no consistency man..if i had to spend another nite thru such weather...i'll flippin b screamin murder!!

Concerts n Movies n Weekends

sometimes we all need a break n a return 2 leisure stuff n things dat mirror as closeli as possibl life in e familiar world..

there was dis concert last week by a fren dat was different from e usual dull student life here..even though i'm not e most musicalli inclined or appreciative guy there is..i found e flow smooth n e playin good..n i play e bass guitar back home so i do hav some knowledge of these matters..but it did present a different side of Yvonne (my fren; not Yve of e bluebelles..:-)...very talented n creative i see..mayb its mi..but all e Yvonnes i seem 2 know r all fantasticalli talented in terms of music..

den of course, i buckled down for a weekend of work b4 2 submissions dis week..n unexpectedli, Chris messaged 2 ask if e guys n miself would fancy a trip down 2 Sydney..no way for e weekend so we settled for e next best thing..a movie in e heart of town..Miami Vice complete with drugs, sex, guns n shootin...very brainless n way 2 smooth for my likin..but then again, i was just not prepared for a thinkin sorta movie..

i realised dat e cinema even in e heart of town is smack deserted n there realli was no need for numbered seats cos so few pple came it was free-seatin..even worse den Glendale which was supposed 2 b futher out n more remote..dat was a much more realistic movie theatre experience..

we all needed dat movie break man..i realise 1 thing...u can take a S'porean out of e city-state..but u juz can't get e city-state outta him..deep down i noe where i belong n where i wanna return..woah, can play Majullah Singapura liao........or mee siam mai hum also can..
