Myth about Singaporeans

Seriously, I wonder who started this myth about describing Singaporeans as Kiasu (Scared to lose). Since young, I thought this rumour perhaps started because Singaporeans were the only people around who are scared to lose out on things.

But ever since I came Australia, I think, perhaps, maybe, possibly got a slight chance that this kiasu myth is not to say not true, but it doesn't apply on Singaporeans ONLY.

Aussies do queue up for freebies and whenever there is a sale going on, you can see flocks and flocks of Aussie aunties stuffing cheap clothes and undies into their shopping basket. They dont even bother looking at the sizes and from what I reckon, they are stuffing clothes that are size Medium or Small when obviously the aunties look like XXL to me.

The only difference Aussie aunties behave and Singaporean aunties behave is that maybe Aussie aunties snatch freebies in a more elegant way. They say Thank you once they get what they want but Singaporean aunties only say "Still got more stock boh ah boy?" or "Wah, pi gao kao peh, bo gia wa lugi." (Wa, cheap till cry father. No take I lose out)

And let me stake another obvious example.

Yesterday during lecture, my lecturer announced that we will have to sign up for time slots for our pratical groups. And the thing was, some slots were good, some slots were bad. And the place to sign up was outside the lecturer's office.

So guess what, once the lecture ended, within 5 min, there was a massive queue outside the office, all anxiously waiting to sign up for the slots. Is this a sign of kiasu-ism or what? And some even ran to the office. RUN ok?


But... even though there was a massive queue, I was the 2nd person to sign up tsk...

I didnt wait for lecture to end, I left lecture 5 min earlier to sign up.

Dont play play ok, We are the pioneers of Kiasu-ism.

Coolest Movie of the Century

I am so ecstatic!!!

Just finished watching Die Hard 4 and in my opinion, it has to be the greatest movie of the century. Who needs Transformers or Lord of the Rings when we have such a great movie over here.

And for you peeps who havent watch it, trust my judgement for once, faster drop whatever you are doing, and grab your friends to watch it with you in the cinema.

Oh god~ I am so totally in love with Bruce Willis. He has to be the best guy to act as a cop.

Ok, time for me to watch it for the second time =)

My Mighty Mouse

Slogging off like a cow, my Sandwich Boy job finally paid off.

I bought a mouse through Ebay a week ago and the mouse's worth was equivalent to approximately 2 hours of my job.

But I am very happy. I love my Mighty Mouse.





Not only is it a cordless mouse, the designs are ergonomic which means it fits perfectly into my C cup size hands. Plus, it acts as a remote control for my Media Player program. This means I can change music while shitting at the comfort of just pressing my Mighty Mouse.






Adding on to its user friendly features are the sleek design that Mighty Mouse has to offer. I simply love the blue light it gives off when you press any button on it.


I am so gonna sleep on my bed tonight holding my mouse in my hand =)

*UPDATED - Happy Graduation Bitches~

Yesterday was a happy day, not for me; but for two of my buddies over here. It was their graduation day.

I was given an important task for the big day of theirs. I was told to be their camera-man which I dutifully obliged. I love to take photos but I warn them against my half-fuck camera skills. Being poor students and unable to hire a profeesional photographer, they had no choice but to risk hiring me (for free); A guy armed with nothing but a Canon Ixus 850IS.




Left to Right: James (Housemate), AhDumb (Adam, Countrymen)


I really feel happy for them. Because I am going through what they, already have been through and I can imagine the smile on my face when I graduate, that is if I graduate.


Left to Right: Adam, Random-Guy, James

Anyway, I enjoyed going around, snapping pictures of random artifacts with my employers in them. And because I was given such an importance task, I was bestowed the power to ask them to move wherever I want them to move and pose in whatever position I want them to. This is what I call at my beck and call~

I enjoyed this power.

But with great power comes great responsibilty. I hope they were not disappointed with the photos at the end of the day which comes from a guy with nothing but a Canon Ixus 850IS.




I want to graduate tooooo~


*Updated...

Below is our video, though short, but fully describes the feeling of a graduate...
Dont bother about that sinister disgusting laugh at the end. It was... well... yeah its mine. But cause it was damn funny~~

Call Me Playboy

Before you jumped to conclusions on my title, please spend just a few minutes hearing me explain.

For 23 years, I have been wearing underwear that are triangular in shape.

There have caused me much problems. For example, sometimes one of the sides at my butt would seep into my butt crack, forming a half G-string situation.

It is highly uncomfortable. These are situations where you see me digging my own arse, trying to dig the side of the underwear out.

And when the situation is reversed, it is even more uncomfortable. Somehow or rather, I get very discomfort after some time when my balls are rubbing against my thighs with a piece of cloth in between.

I think some fellow guys will share my sentiments and I believe so.

So, 2 days ago, I bought half a dozen of underwears that are hmmm. I wonder how you call them. But instead of triangular shapes, they are rectangular now. Something like boxers, except that it is like aerobics pants, it fits well with my butt and thighs. And the best thing, the brand is Playboy. Therefore, there is a picture of a rabbit's head printed on my *cough cough* bird eagle.

Today I tried wearing them. I never felt so good in my life. No more underwear stuck in butt crack or my balls. My eagle was soaring.

With my new Playboy's underwear, swimming, running or turning on sides are no more a problem. I can sleep comfortable at night without the fear of leaking =)

One Abnormal Fact About Me

After 3 years of blogging, after 3 years of constantly blogging uninteresting facts that are happening in my life, I finally realised something; after 3 years of BLOGGING!

I realise that I have a so-called peak period and non-peak period of blogging.

For normal people, when they have free time, rather than doing something unmeaningful like going to the zoo or donating sperms, they blog more.

Hmmm, talking about donating sperms. Maybe I shall start doing this. So perhaps in a few years time, the streets will have a lot of kids with big heads running around. Retailers will have no choice but to produce caps with a bigger circumference. In this case, it will solve the problem I am facing now.

Anyway back to the topic. For extraordinary people like me, I actually blog more when I am busy. Example when I have plenty of assignments or reports to hand up, or during my exam period.

When holidays come, like now, I actually blog less. I find it funny too. Perhaps, maybe, possibly got a slight chance for the fact that I blog more when I am busy with school work is because I am trying to find a reason not to touch my books.

Maybe, I am not so sure either.

Perhaps when I am free and have nothing to do, there is nothing much exciting happening in my life. I just wander around my house aimlessly. My body is alive. But not my mind. During this peaceful times, I suffer from blogging-retardedness.

Ok, it is 12am in Australia now. Gotta go rush off to sleep. Gonna be a hardworking sandwich boy early tomorrow morning =)

Something About my New Job

As of today, I have landed myself a job =)

As of today, call me Mr. 晴天霹雳无敌小旋风艳丽四射七采槟纷三明治小弟.

For the benefit of my non-chinese speaking fellow friends, you can call me Mister. SunnydayDazzling, FormidableSmallTornado, CharmFourShoot, SevenPluckIcePowder - Sandwich Boy

Yeah I just finished my one day job training today and the boss bravely decided to employ me. One reason she dared to employ me was because I am a very hardworking worker (when she is around); and another reason is because she is my fellow countrymen. I threatened to sms her the lyrics of Malikita everyday should she fail to employ me.

Salary-wise, I shall not disclose so much as this kind of issue is kinda sensitive. I know how to keep secrets.

Just take it as a plate of chicken rice is 2 bucks, I can probably buy 8 plates of it plus maybe additional tau-geh~
