Decaf.



Trying to delude yourself with a decaffeinated hazelnut latte at 7.45am in the office would only serve to do 2 things:

1) Lead your paranoid, exhausted body into experiencing all the nauseousness, giddiness and stomachache even when there's no caffeine(in short, your body going neh neh ni boo boo),

2) you still feel as fucking tired.

Online retail therapy.

I just got my cheapo Citibank credit card in the mail yesterday, and I put it to good use today by shopping at Victoria's Secret.

Nothing beats retail therapy while sitting right smack on your butt while browsing through everything they've got, hours after hours.

But then again, THIS will beat it all:


Merchandise Subtotal $278.50
Shipping/Handling $56.99
Special Offer – $75.00
Taxable Subtotal $260.49
Sales Tax $0.00
Order Subtotal $260.49
ORDER TOTAL
$ 260.49

Purchases made by Ying and me :)


$75USD tier discount. Oh and don't forget the gifts with purchase ;) Thank goodness I thought to check online. Turns out, there's practically a whole community/forum of women sharing offer codes and exchanging tips... I've yet to master the skills of stacking codes! Oh well. I forgot to buy my bikinis, so I'll prolly brush up my skills during the next retail therapy. *Wide grin*


HALLUJAH!

I just needed to rant...

on Barack Hussein Obama.

Again, I state, I am NOT American, I am NOT white, I am NOT a racist. I mean, what's with the indirect messages of being deemed as racist if you don't vote for Obama, just because you don't agree with his vision of U.S.A?

I mean, what's with the fanatic Obama followers that went, "You didn't vote for Obama? YOU FUCKING RACIST!" And hello, 'Civilian Security Force'?! How about
Gestapo? Ring a bell? Or the uniformed people who followed Louis Farrakhan around? Am I going to be thrashed for saying Obama reminds me of Louis Farrakhan, - albeit with more charisma - a 'Black Hitler', and displaying symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder?


If, a bunch of civilians, - uniformed AND uninformed - are empowered under this force that Obama aspires to set up, what do you THINK is going to happen?


It is not really democracy anymore. It's socialism. I don't know how you feel about it, but I sure don't like it. Oh, there's going to be CHANGES, alright. I'm just not sure if it's any good.

I know there's no point for someone who's not even American to be ranting about such stuff after the election is over. Yes yes, I KNOW, the election is OVER, the world now just has to DEAL and await with bated breath to see just which promises would BHO realise.


The good, the bad, the world-changing decisions. Oh boy. Fun.

Yes, amidst all the YAY OBAMA, Obama-rama, cult of Obi-wan Obama, I'm making a stand - McCain fanatic I am not. Obama basher? That I am. =]


Narcissistic Personality Disorder(According to professionals, you'll just need 5 of the symptoms to be diagnosed with NPD):

A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:

(1) has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements). - What HAS Obama achieved in his political career so far, besides becoming POTUS?

(2) is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love. - It is everywhere in his speech, don't tell me you didn't notice.

(3) believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people(or institutions). - See above, and also think about Obama's inner circle of high-profile friends.

(4) requires excessive admiration. - See (2) & (3).

(5) has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations. - No? Go Google Obama's speeches after his failed Philadelphia debate.

(6) is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends. - "Hey, anybody knows where Jeremiah Wright is now?" So much so for inspiring Obama, huh.

(7) lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others. - Have you listened to his opinion on living babies who survived abortion?

(8) is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her. - Okay, this I've not exactly noticed yet. But look at Obama's campaign ads of showing McCain's homes; He casted McCain's wealth in the bad light just because McCain managed to freaking earned those money.

(9) shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes. - I'm thinking... Self-evident. Think about the biblical and messiah references. "My hour is almost here." Then again... He was raised on muslim faith. Hmm.



Arguably at least 7 points out of 9. Point.


(NPD argument inspired and partially adapted from abovetopsecret.)


... He enforces discipline, adherence to his teachings, and common goals. The less accomplished he is in reality – the more stringent his mastery and the more pervasive the brainwashing.

Mat Gordon

I was out with my friend Samuel last Saturday evening for a movie and dinner, and when we were chattering quietly to each other while waiting for Madagascar 2 to start(which is a really good show, go watch it!), one commercial came on and I was like... :O

*Cues jaw dropping and drool collecting at corner of mouth.*


Mat Gordon in the Paco Rabanne's 1 Million commercial.

Excuse me if I am being a 'mountain turtle', but it was the first time I saw a model having dialogues(albeit he kinda muttered) AND dance moves in a branded product's ad. Usually they just prance around half-naked or lie entangled with some other anorexic pretty models.



I know, poorly captured screenshot, so shoot me!




And he's hot. HOT LIKE HELL. I literally tuned my friend out while I stared at the screen mesmerised. What to do? Told ya I have a thing for tall skinny men.

It might be the fact that all my perfume have been used up and I need to get a new bottle, but I must say the power of advertisement has hit me hard this time 'round, for the first time ever.

I WANT a Paco Rabanne perfume!

*Whimpers* Mama like!


Oi. Looks eeriely like Tom Cruise, lor!


P.S: Oh, I've just realised he didn't speak. Funny that I thought he did. *Shrugs* So here's the commercial. Enjoy ;)

Wtf?! Why am I getting plagurised?

Alright, first of all I had Stephanie who copied part of my About Me on the right hand side here, and used it as her MSN nickname last month.

"I may appear headstrong & stubborn, but its only to
protect myself."

Trust me, it's mine. I've had it there since as long as this blog existed. It wasn't even a good quote or whatever; I would have edited the whole thing if blogspot lets me. (Some html errors - I gave up.)

When I asked her about it, she tried to brush it off as coincidence even though it was word for word, down to the '&' I used.

Then now this?!


I'm not about to do free advertising for someone who plagurised me.



So, what, do I have to ™ every single thing I write now?! WTF!


- JenxGeR™

Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,
So do our minutes hasten to their end;
Each changing place with that which goes before,
In sequent toil all forwards do contend.
Nativity, once in the main of light,
Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crown'd,
Crooked eclipses 'gainst his glory fight,
And Time that gave doth now his gift confound.
Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth
And delves the parallels in beauty's brow,
Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth,
And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow:
And yet to times in hope, my verse shall stand
Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand.

The new history is set in stone.


Barack Hussein Obama - Senator for 4 years, ran for presidency for half of that.


Not that I have anything against Obama, if at all, but I just feel that John McCain would make for a MUCH better president. Even if his choice of vice president is questionable.

I just feel that the current America is not ready for a black President yet. I worry that there will still be people unhappy with a 'Black' President, thus making the racism problem worse, and God's Teeth, I hope he doesn't get assassinated or whatever. Which brings me to the question - Is KKK still active?


Also, with the typical African American's behaviour in social environment, how would they behave now with one of them has become the President, albeit a mulato one? My questions may sound a little extreme and tinged with racism in light of the intense sufferings that the African-Americans have went through since slavery in Africa thousands of years ago, but they would not be entirely groundless, right?

And no, I'm NOT racist; I'm not even American!
(Trust me, I was seeing a black guy for the past couple of months, which proves I'm so NOT racist. Also, what's with the indirect message that you are deemed as a racist, just because you do not vote for Obama?)

Anywayyyys, setting aside the potential disasters, Obama just seems... Too soft. And too slick. You don't influence the world just because maybe, when you were a kid, you've once acclaimed, "I'm going to be the president of the United States of America when I grow up, Ma!" (No, he did not say that; I was just making a point) or something; You've got to have it.

Yes, I know with Obama being a Democrat, who are famous for spending lots of money, will provide the boost that the US economy needs right now and hey, yay for Asian markets! But I hardly think he's the right man in the long run. I mean, look at his 'tactics' for Iraq! Obama is fanciful with words, and he might have good advisors, I'll give him that, but one can only keep his fingers crossed as to how he would fare as President of U.S.A.

I'm not saying McCain is the god-send from Heaven and he was made for Presidency, but I just don't think Obama's it. McCain's only downfall is that he did not shake off the Bush's shadow in time, and also his old age - Everyone's apparently afraid that Palin will be President in the case he dies.


Current projected results on my company's TV:


Obama - 200

McCain - 090


I can't watch on anymore. With a bit of artistic license...


God Save the Free!


I fear for the state of the world.

戰無不勝.

哪個叫做正義 哪個戰無不勝 
對錯正邪卻難定
哪個有權決定 天地自能做證 
不管有什麼背景


也許一出手 將世界左右
縱使一開口 空氣也顫抖
但是天闊地厚 誰都知這叫作荒謬


隻手一遮天 怎看見反面
四方給差遣 雙眼也蓋掩
越是到巔峰 越快變 變得似瘋癲
一個人 怎可以一手勝天


要有這樣氣侯 至有各樣妖獸 
笑說正義太陳舊
耨蟥A是太舊 天地未能沒有 
不管有什麼藉口


Er yeah, I've returned to my sporadic addictions to 古惑仔. Anyways,
