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),
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:

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*
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 aboutGestapo? 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'ssocialism. 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 youlistened 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.
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 ;)
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!

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. - William Shakespeare, Sonnet 60.
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 tooslick. 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...
Er yeah, I've returned to my sporadic addictions to 古惑仔. Anyways,
My dear blog readers, ESPECIALLY my friends, leave comments leh. You guys ah, always telling me that you read my blog, and then pay me compliments here and there about how you love reading it - So leave comments mah! See lah, make me type in Singlish. No more gud English for you already, lah.
She lives by 1 motto: "Why not?"
I love reading - Poetry, comics, fanfics, fictions, the lots. I scribble a little myself, even though I'm bloody awful- But that's why you'll see a lot of quotes from famous people past, or scribbles of my poems or attempts at stories.
Look at me above chest level, & perhaps you may recognise a warm-blooded woman in residence.
She laughs, she cries, she's a lady of whims, she's well-read, she loves her friends and her \m/ music. Come say hi.
Loves with a fury passion, but sometimes feel detached from the rest of the world.
"And never have I felt so deeply at one and the same time so detached from myself and so present in the world." - Albert Camus
Insecurity results in my trusty self-defence machination, so I appear headstrong, stubborn, self-derogatory.
Capacity for love is near despicable, despite being excessively wary and jaded at the moment.
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion
Attempting to understand the real me is akin to opening Pandora's Box, or maybe a can of worms... I might just surprise you.
