if i have faith you need to borrow

so heres to everything thats happening right now. to work, to sleep and to more work. good things been happenin in all departments i guess so we heatin things up like its the great singapore sale a summat. i cant believe dheeshas internet keeps screwin up just as the song is almost sent but you cant have it all your way. speakin of, if you're readin this, please download 'jealous guy' and 'woman' by john lennon as well as 'stimulate' by eminem. good stuff.

i was dreamin of the past

i was just watching the first bit of singapore idol and it was mortifying. first this bunch of talentless sods butcher 'hey ya' and then right at the end, after all the cheap technical gimmicks any five year old with a decent flash program could make, they all gather round some random girl with 'big gulp's. talk about blatant, cheap and pathetic. is that what singapore idol is all about? competing for title of the best singer in a non representative group of losers who dont have to worry much about work or skool cos they fucked it up good in swinging ol singapore already? and then taking the top prize PLUS the fantastic addition of promoting 7-11 merchandise in outlets all over singapore? and they wonder why we seem to be so short of talent everywhere- singing, soccer; just about everything short of this saturdays chemistry quiz. in other news i dont like that twohill guy (or any of them for that matter, but he's a special case).

and my heart was beatin fast

i have a friend, rekha who is also a practising doctor- and boy can she sing jazz. she has some voice and has performed in a couple a concerts round the country with some friends to great acclaim but think about this- had she been doing this in another country, say the US, she have made it big by now. real big. but what can i say. we're a small country with no time for these worthless endeavours; so what if life is bland and boring? at least we've got a strong economy! time to face the facts; and fact is, dreams are for non realists. sad innit? thats life i guess. but we can change that! (i think/hope?) naw, naw its not all that bleak is it now harriet? cheer up y'all.

and i began to lose control

in any case i flipped over to the star network to catch ms teen usa 2006 with hazmi and while we were ooh-ing and aah-ing in enrapture i wondered- how come 18 year olds in singapore dont look like this? is there some sorta taxationary measure/ban/fine placed on such things? cos thats the only real thing we seem to have in abundance round these parts. man! ms virginia is something something special. lalala.

i didn't mean to hurt you

no im not saying singapore sucks or anything. we're the shining light of south east asia, one of the strongest economies in the world for our size and our people are wanted everywhere; especially qatar (which is starting to open up with this city of the rich thing and has terribly good prospects) for the service industry. singapore has it made. im finding fault with its people- for our unwillingness to dare, to try new things, simply put- to be different. its not all about being thinkers, leaders and pioneers- dont forget the friends, lovers and creators bit too.

i'm sorry i made you cry

we're the defining generation. we're the next group of young movers and shakers, and so i challenge all of you to be different. to do new and exciting things with your lives (no, im not advocating drugs.) make changes (for the better, mind you) round the country and world. its all yours.

i was feelin insecure

studying is a bitch. it takes so much outta you, but its gotta be done. hazmi and i been studying like dogs the past few days and whoa! both came down with splittin headaches this afternoon. i swear the guys like my brother- he takes the words right outta my mouth half the time. bonus is we got real good music on our side, stimulate by eminem and jealous guy by john lennon. been hittin the gym like nobodys business and the goal is brazilian sets by the end of november. gains are awesome cos now ive finally start to hit 5< pull ups and heavier weights. now benchin a cool 40kg, up from 20 at the start. real proud of our achievement- up and at 'em y'all.

you might not love me anymore

and tomorrow i can head down to sunset with hazmi for soccer- awesome. last two games were brilliant; field was packed but good games all the same. studies gonna take precedence again round mornin afternoonish time but what the hey- its all gonna be worth it. this monday there'll be a little pre-prelis gathering; sarah hazmi james nadia and i. i guess its gonna be a pretty big day though we scrapped the barbeque plans cos deep down inside we're all really too lazy to cook our own food/cant cook to save our lives. i dont know about sarah and nadia, but the best thing hazmi and i ever made was like maggi mee with tabasco sauce and a side can of tuna. don't laugh, its actually pretty good.

so thats it. liverpool arent playing this weekend, but they will next week! yeay.

work it out
