5 signs that i'm obsessed...

...with my handphone

  1. I will never leave home without it.
  2. When at home, I bring it around wherever i go. Yes, even to the bathroom.
  3. I pick up call and reply sms when in the shower.
  4. My phone bill was $75 the previous month when my plan is only $33 including 1000 free sms, 100 mins free outgoing and free incoming from 7pm to 7am.
  5. There are 6 more days to go before the end of the month and according to the message counter, I have already sent 999 messages.

This is madness.

You're beautiful

James Blunt

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

I love this song. So much that i think i'm gonna buy his album even though this is the only song i know. But i was told it's a sad album so i guess i'm not gonna buy it for now.

My problems

Problem: Thinking too much. It makes things very blown out of proportion (in the head that is)
Solution: Don't think. Things will just get better somehow.

Problem: Missing someone.
Solution: see that person and you won't miss that person so much anymore. if not, call or sms.

Problem: Song ringing in your ears.
Solution: Listen to that song. That is the only way.

Problem: Dry eyes.
Solution: I can tell people that my eyes hurt when tears are welling up. *laughs*

Problem: Blocked/runny nose.
Solution: When upset and nose starts to get stuffy, you can say it's always like that.

Paradox

The one who can make you happy, make you smile, is also the one who can hurt you the most. Simply because he/she means so much to you.

East-coast park

  1. Sun-kissed. Fair people tend to get sunburn more easily. Only i was burnt. Maybe i should invest in a bottle of sun block lotion. But then again, i don't go out in the sun that often.
  2. "Woah..." Why do people make roller-blading seem so easy? Or maybe it's just me.
  3. Unpredictability. One moment the Sun was scorching (which caused me to get sun burn), before you know it, it's pouring.
  4. Helping hand. At times, it's very much appreciated.
  5. Time. Time flies when you're having fun. Time flies when you're stoning too. Can't believe i spent more than an hour waiting without realising.
  6. Leftie. I'm a right-hander and my left hand is retarded. Other than carrying shopping bags, tying laces and occasionally using chopsticks and writing, there's no major tasks it can do. Just leave it alone, stop challenging it.
  7. Bank. POSB/DBS is the worst of the few banks in Singapore. Period.
  8. Food. People who are not fat eating a lot can me quite an appetite booster. Or at least to me.
  9. Pool. Stripes or solid? Accuracy, precision and physics are all that matters. Unfortunately, my physics is poor, i'm inaccurate and unprecise.
  10. Aches. Muscle aches are inevitable for someone who doesn't exercise. That's me.

About me

Your view on yourself: You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for: You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship: You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love: Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education: Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you: You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success: Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working.

What are you most afraid of: You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self: You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Love is an asset

Basic Accounting Equation:
Assets = Liabilities + Capital

Assets: Assets, in simple term, are things which you own. They are rights to future benefits arising from past transactions. They consist of the following characteristics:

  1. A probable future benefit exists. If you're in a relationship, there is a probable future benefit. If marriage is a benefit for you, there is a chance of getting hitched. If you just want a shag, there is a possibility as well. Thus, a probable future benefit exists.
  2. An exclusive right to control the benefit. Okay, so you do not have the exclusive right to control your partner. But the love and intimacy you share between you and your partner is exclusive to just the two of you. There is a verbal agreement to be "exclusively yours" in some cases.
  3. The benefit must arise from some past transaction or event. The event may be valentine's day or the day the guy asks the girl to be his gal.
  4. The asset must be capable of measurement in monetary terms. This does not really apply. But if a separation or divorce takes place, an alimony can usually be claimed. Or you can sell your partner away, *laughs* just kidding.

Thus, having met the characteristics, we say that love is an asset.

Think about it

Before you think of saying an unkind word,
Think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food,
Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife,
Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion.

Today before you complain about life,
Think of someone who went too early to heaven.

Before you complain about your children,
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.

Before you argue about your dirty house; someone didn't clean or sweep,
Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive,
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job,
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another,
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down,
Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around.

Ominously Orange

Today as i was on my way home on the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit), i was in a carriage with orange seats. At a certain station, this lady walked in and sat next to me. She was wearing a white addidas jacket with orange stripes, orange collar and orange cuffs. She was carrying a white-based basket bag with orange flowers and in her hair was a matching bandana. Woa! I'm just glad i'm not someone who dislikes orange, *ahem* if not, i'd probably feel that i'm in bad luck. *laughs*

I'm a believer

Smash Mouth

I thought love was
Only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else
But not for me
Love was out to get to me
That's the way it seems
Disappointment haunted
All my dreams

And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried

I thought love was
More or less a given thing
But the more I gave the less
I got, oh yeah
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain

And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried

What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain

And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
Now I'm a believer
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm a believer
I'm a believer
I'm a believer

I love this song. And it matches the title of my blog! *laughs*
