Its funny how
well meaning friends
always advise,
"you deserve better than this".
That sounds nice
and reassuring.
A little bit
of ego massage.
But,
what if
I don't really
deserve any better
at all???
What if
this is
really as good
as it will
ever get?
What if
somehow God
has given all of us
just one chance
in our life
for marital and conjugal bliss,
and I've
already fucked it up?

They tell me,
If you love someone,
Set her free....
If she comes back,
she's yours.
If she doesn't,
she never was.
Ha ha ha
Who is bullshitting who?
I am a bullshitter,
I bullshit for a living.
Never never ever
try to bullshit
a bullshitter.
It is against
the psychological makeup
of women
to want to be
free.
If they find
the man
of their dreams,
they want
to tie down
and be tied down
quicker
than you can say
marriage.
The reason
why she wants
to be free,
is because
she wants
to explore
her options,
go find the man
of her dreams.
Her knight
in shining armour,
not your old rusted
and dented tin hat.
Thats why,
she doesn't
come back.
And if she does
come back,
its for all
the wrong reasons.
She could not find
her knight,
or the knight
just wanted
her for fucks sake.
So she comes back,
after having played
the whole field,
and thought aiya,
in the absence
of better alternative,
come back
to that loser la.
Guess what?
The better alternative
will INVARIABLY
come along.
Not if
but when.
And then
how?
If you love someone,
Set her free....
If she comes back,
she's yours.
If she doesn't,
she never was.

I conclude
there are no ugly women
in all of Thailand.
One of the most
enduring impressions I had
was once in Bangkok
Chao Phraya River,
near this temple.
There was this lady
dressed virtually in rags.
She was selling trinkets
and other tacky souvenirs.
I was waiting for ex-wife,
who was buying grilled coconuts.
So I was absently mindedly
browsing at the trinkets
with absolutely no intention
whatsover
to purchase any.
Nonetheless,
she flashed me
this beautiful smile.
It melted my heart.
I grabbed a handful
of keychains,
and handed her
a fistful of baht.
Here in Swingabore,
I can walk into Ferragamo's
with all the intention
of spending thousands,
and I know,
I won't get
a smile
half
as beautiful.
Such is the
advanced state
of their society.
We're a real
backward society
in comparison.
Just compare
our favourite acronyms.
In Swingabore,
we have 5 Cs.
Condo, Car, Credit Card, Cash, Country Club......
In Thailand,
they have 3 Rs.
Religion, Ruler, Rice.....
How elegant.
Tells you alot
of our societies.
Like I always said.
Singaporeans are not
educated people.
We're only good
at passing exams.

Sigh,
you had to ask.
I didn't wanna
say it earlier.
Why socialise
over coffee?
Well, I guess
coffee stimulates
the mind,
and makes listening
to a fellow human being
remotely interesting.
Notice how you never needed coffee
when you're with dogs and cats?
Just like your date
looks much better
after the 6th beer.

Burke's, Starbucks, Coffee Bean, Coffee Club,
Dome, Spinelli etc etc etc
What the hell fuck
is going on?
Coffee was invented
by the Arabs
a thousand years ago.
Here in Asia,
we've been drinking coffee
hundreds of years
before
the Europeans
and Americans did.
We drink our coffee
black,
we drink our coffee
thick.
None of these American coffees
which tastes like syrup
and milk,
Decaf oh my God,
what the fuck for?
Drink something else
you homo.
OK OK
I respect your personal preference
just like I prefer my coffee
kopi O, 70 cents
at a HDB kopi tiam,
while you prefer to pay
$4 for a tall latte
at Starbucks.
Fair enough,
I prefer to taste my coffee
you prefer to taste your syrup
and whipped cream.
Just what goes into the latte
to justify it costing
6X more?
OK a coffee club
is invariably
more comfortable
than a kopi tiam.
A coffee club
is more than just
drinking coffee,
its a place
to relax
and socialise
with friends,
even impress
a date.
Hey, our fathers
and grandfathers
been doing that
at kopitiams
for years!!!
This generation
certainly did not
invent the concept
of socialising
over a coffee.
So again,
why is the price
6X more?
OK OK
I do pay $10
for a beer
at comfortable hotel lounges
when I could
have paid $3
for a beer
in a kopi tiam.
So conclusion is,
I'm paying
for rental space
in a coffee club,
for the priviledge
of drinking coffee
in a comfortable place.
But excuse me,
why the fuck
are people
taking away
their latte and cappucinos?
For that matter,
what justifies
the price difference
between a latte
and a cappucino?
More coffee?
More milk?

Singapore Education Minister
Tharman Shanmugaratnam
said his ministry is studying
whether to hire native speakers
to teach English in our schools.
Oh God, please NO.
Just what the hell fuck
is wrong with this country?
Everywhere in the world
where English is widely spoken
a localised accent evolves.
I love Singlish,
it has its own brand
of humour
that is lost
on anybody else
in the world,
with the possible exception
of Malaysians.
And any Singaporean
with sufficient grounding
in the English language
can easily switch
from Singlish
to properly grammared
and sentence structured
English,
at the drop
of a durian.
Do we really need
an Australian
with his assfucked awful accent
to teach our kids English?
I was once
at the Night Safari,
and lo and behold,
an Aussie broad,
was our tour guide.
Spewing her thick
Aussie accent,
who nobody understood
and sounds remarkably
like a beer laden drunk
heaving vomit.
Chinese people
are naturally gifted
with a clear voice.
Notice how CNBC and CNNs
of the world,
are using Chinese anchors
in broadcasting news.
No Aussies
for sure.
And here in Singapore,
we're going
in the other
direction.
Its bad enough
to walk along Boat Quay,
and see young local girls
whose face brighten up immediately,
when approached
by an angmor,
and trying desparately
to impress,
with a repulsive pariah accent
of part English,
part Australian,
part American.
If my kids
were to speak
this way.
I'll send them

he just wants

to be strong,
to be a source
of strength

strength.

he doesn't go into

He is loyal

he does not intend

He would rather die

Wah, at the age of 42,
I've joined the Ipod generation.
Thats has got to be a fucking achievement
by itself.
Although it took me all night
to figure out Itunes software.
But suddenly,
disembodied voices
and haunted lyrics
which I thought
I forgotten
came flooding back
from the first half
of my life.
"Fathers and Mothers
throughout the land
don't critisize
what you don't understand
coz your sons and your daughters
are beyond your command
your old road
is rapidly ageing
so get out of the new one
if you can't lend a hand,
coz the times
they are a changing."
Bob Dylan
I heard that verse
when I was a poxy kid
of 15 years
through a beat up Rediffusion box
and now
I have Ipod,
and those rebellious
teenage years
suddenly burned
within me.
"then take me disappearing
through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time
far past the frozen leaves
the haunted frightened trees
out to the windy beach
far from the twisted reach
of crazy sorrow
Yes to dance beneath the diamond sky
with one hand waving free
silhouetted by the sea
cricled by the circus sands
with all memory and fate
driven deep beneath the waves
let me forget about today
until tomorrow"
Bob Dylan
I was 16,
and moved out
of the house,
I just wanted to run away,
told Mum I had to get away
from this crazy family,
so I can do
my "O" levels.
St Pat's 1980
what a way to screw up
a teenage mind.
"The screen door slams
Mary dress waves
like a vision she dances across the porch
as the radio plays
Roy Orbison sings for the lonely,
Hey baby, thats me
and I want you only.
Don't turn me away
coz I can't face myself
along again"
Bruce Springsteen
17 years old and my first love
in CJC.
"Freedom is another word
when you have nothing left
to lose.
Nothing is worth nothing
but its free"
Janis Joplin
18 and going to the army
feeling the world
was not meant for me
and society
simply didn't intend
to have me in it.
"Scarecrows dressed in latest styles
with frozen smiles
to chase love away"
Randy Newman
I thought I lived
amonst zombies
I still do, 20 years later.
"coz I'd rather stay here
with all the madmen
then perish with the sadmen
roaming free.
And I rather play here
with all the madmen
for I'm quite content
they're all as sane
as me"
David Bowie

I don't know
what is the big deal
about Da Vinci Code.
In the first place,
I hate Tom Hanks.
Just because he looks like such
a typical bland American
man on the street loser,
he is so celebrated.
They should rename his movies
Tom Hanks on an island
Tom Hanks in 50s America
Tom Hanks in Space
Tom Hanks in an airport.
The movie have not even debut
in Swingabore,
but I already know,
its gonna be a bore.
Why the hell fuck
should anybody give a damn
about Da Vinci Code anyway?
If I was famous,
and wrote a series of binary numbers
00101011100101010010101010101111000
after I died, someone will probably
say that it was a secret code
and I fucked his grandmother
and had a kid.
Why bother about things
that for all intents
and purposes
will be impossible
to prove?
And why should there
be any proof
anyway?
Religion
is all about faith.
If you need proof
to believe
or disbelieve,
you're barking up
the wrong tree,
forget Christianity.
You can even prove
that Jesus raped
his mother,
and millions of Christians
will still gladly
make their pastors rich.
Although if I can prove
that Jesus Christ
was a black Indian guy,
80% of charismatic christians
in Swingabore,
will turn buddhist,
such is this white worshipping
country.
A completely pointless exercise
and a waste
of fucking time.
And the author Dan Brown
was smart,
he wrote about Jesus Christ.
If he wrote about
Prophet Muhammad,
there will be blood
on the streets
again.

They always said,
breaking up
is hard to do.
I dunno,
I've been through it
so many times,
its easier
than easy.
For a start,
have a clean break.
A happy closure,
celebrate
a new life.
No phonecalls
No emails
No SMS
You can care
or even have platonic love
for your ex
but from a distance
please.
Give him/her,
give yourself
a chance
to recover.
I used to think
that being friends
with your ex
is a great idea.
Afterall, who knows you better
than someone who shared
the same bed with you
for years?
I still think so,
but there needs
to be,
a long period
of absolutely
no contact.
Personally,
I reckon
about 2-3 years.
I do emphatise
that letting go
of those shared history
those joys and tears
and assigning it to
no more than
useless memories
can be quite
difficult
to let go totally.
But trust me,
being friends
with someone
whom you just broken off
is difficult,
maybe impossible even.
When relationships go
from romantic
to platonic,
expectations
of each other
takes time
to change.
Feelings get hurt
egos get bruised
People move on,
but rarely
at the same pace.
There is a tendency
to compare
to compete even.
The guy I'm seeing
is richer than you,
the girl I'm seeing
has bigger tits etc etc etc
Don't get me wrong,
I don't believe in
being bitter
towards your ex.
On the contrary,
I believe
one should love
the ex,
but in a different way.
Years from now,
we can be best friends,
but certainly
not now.
All of the above applies
but with one exception,
when kids
are involved.
Because when kids
are involved,
everything you guys do
have to take their interests
first before yours.
They are above
all your priorities,
they are above
all your feelings,
all your ego.

Ms X came home early
this morning,
before I went to work.
Told me how
for the first time
in her flying job,
she experienced
an air pocket,
the plane plunged
so sudden,
with such a force,
that passengers (not wearing seat belts)
and cabin crew,
flew up
and hit the ceiling
of the plane,
resulting
in dislocated arms,
bleeding cuts.
A quarter of the crew
needed medical attention.
Thank God
she escaped injury,
because she was
in the toilet.
But she saw
the mayhem thereafter,
the galley was strewed
with broken cups and plates
all over.
One stewardess
was so traumatised,
she could not move
and sat there crying
uncontrollably,
they suspected
she may have even
injured her spine.
Ive always hated flying
I've flown all over the world
but I still hate flying.
Everytime the plane takes off,
or lands,
or flies through turbulence,
I would grit my teeth,
and expect the worse.
I can't think
of a more violent death
than dying
in an air crash.
Because when the plane
is in trouble,
it is evident
to everyone
on board,
and you will go through
a few seconds
or minutes even
of pure abject panic
and fear.
I know
air travel
is inevitable
and practical.
We can no longer
go back
to the days
of transversing
the globe
on a slow boat.
But why bother,
with in flight entertainment
and on board meals?
I would prefer
to be served
a strong sleeping pill
that would knock me out
for the duration
of the flight,
like general anaesthesia
during surgery,
just administer
enough for the duration
of the operation.
If my plane
were to crash,
I don't want to know
about it,
let alone go through
agonising seconds
of sheer terror
awaiting certain death.
I'd rather sleep through
an air crash
not knowing any better.
If the plane did not crash,
and I arrived safely
at my destination airport,
what would be better
than to be awoken
by a gentle stewardess
all dolled up
in sarong kebaya?
I would pay double,
no, make it triple,
for that kind of flight.

I don't know
what the hell fuck
am I doing
with my life.
Mum just asked,
when are you gonna
see Dad?
I'm too busy this week Mum.
That was what I said
last week too.
I work 7 days a week,
to what purpose?
A penthouse, a sportscar, a boat, a beautiful girlfriend.
Why do I need all that?
If beautiful girlfriend
can find a homeless begging monk
more attractive,
you can bet,
I'll be the first
to be a homeless begging monk.
But you know
it doesn't quite work
that way.
Since the time
of the neanderthals,
if a caveman
would be critically injured
in a hunting expedition,
Mrs Cavewoman ain't gonna hang around
with Mr Invalid Caveman.
I actually envy the neanderthals.
Be a caveman,
go hunting for meat
all day.
Come home,
sit by the fire,
just toss a piece of meat
in the general direction
of the woman
is all it takes.
PAP loved to parrot
from Third World into First World.
I'm not so sure
if that is a good thing.
I would imagine,
if Dad is living
in a kampung,
his life would
be a whole lot more
bearable.
Old age might
even be fun.
His farmer son
would have time for him,
his daugher
would dote on him,
his grand children
would be giggling
at his feet,
like the way
I used to sit
by the feet
of my Grandpa,
not understanding
a single word
he said,
his teochew accent
was way out of my league,
but just happy
to be near
grandpa.
Now Dad lives,
in his HDB.
No one at home,
other than Mum
and endless supply
of TCS soap operas.
Is that progress?
Frankly,
if I reach 80,
I would retire
to the Himalayan Mountains,
where opium
is readily available,

death

Indonesia is not so much fun
these days,
since they crackdown
on drug taking
in discos.
I used to love
the rave parties there.
You start partying on
Friday night,
and don't leave
till Monday morning.
Now,
under pressure from
the US government
to crackdown
on drugs,
the police
are having a field day
raiding discos
and subjecting everyone
to spot tests.
The rich,
will pay their way out.
The poor,
will go to jail.
Going to jail,
in Indonesia
is like a
death sentence.
You either die
of malaria
or HIV
from prison rape.
Why should drug takers
be criminalised???
Criminals victimise others
Drug takers victimise themselves.
And drug taking is abusive
only if taken
in excess.
So is over eating
or over drinking
or over smoking.
The occasional joint
with beers
or estacsy pill
in a rave party,
is not going to
hurt anyone
or yourself.
The world
should liberalise
drug laws.
Allow marijuana
at home,
or in selected
public places.
Allow rave parties,
but advise against
over dose.
Give people the choice
and help them,
if they need help.
Just like alcoholics
or nicotine addicts
or overweight
need help.

So,
another election over,
another resounding victory,
for the PAP.
66.6% majority.
Hey, isn't that the symbol
of the Devil?
I dunno,
maybe I'm really stupid.
But from the number of people
I actually talk to,
especially taxi drivers,
from the number
of anti-government websites,
I've come across.
I can't help but wonder
where the hell fuck,
did that 66.6% majority

So they sentenced
Zacarias Moussaoui
to life imprisonment
instead of
death penalty.
In a way,
I'm glad.
No point killing
this guy.
You're just playing
into his hands.
He wants to die!!!
Nothing pleases him more
than to die
a martyr's death
in the name
of Jihad,
where heaven awaits him
with the promised
endless supply
of young nubile virgins.
But I would have
gone a step further.
I would mock
a trial for him,
and pretend to
sentence him
to death,
watch that smirk
on his face,
when the mock death penalty
is announced.
Then I would inject him
with a strong
sleeping medication,
but tell him,
its a fatal poison,
watch the grin
on his face,
as he eagerly
awaits death
and heaven.
Then ship his sleeping body,
over to a deserted island,
uninhabited
but with thousands
and thousands
of pigs.
He will wake up,
in the midst of pigs
on his island paradise.
Where he will eat
with pigs,
shit
with pigs,
fuck
with pigs,
all this while
thinking
he is in heaven
and endless supply
of virgins.
A hidden camera
would show me
the anguish
on his face,
where his lifelong
beliefs
of killing people
in the name of Jihad
gave him
eternity and paradise

regarding the quote by

it is also an

therefore
top priority is
remaining in power.
The right policy for

Confirms something

Progress package,
New Singapore shares,
Economic Restructuring shares,

Its like vote buying

Only difference is

bought votes
with party funds.

Another election
another defamation suit.
I read the SDP newsletter.
Nothing new.
It merely stated that this country's
culture of secrecy, non-transparency
and lack of media freedom
allows fraud like NKF to happen.
Just where the fuck
is the defamation?
Chee Soon Juan is not the first
to critisize this government
and certainly not the last.
George Soros said it before,
Amnesty International said it before,
Reporters Without Borders said it before,
Lawyers Right Watch said it before,
and so has
many others.
What is so defaming about that?
Last election Chee Soon Juan
was made bankrupt
when he asked Goh Chok Tong
what happened to the USD10 billion lent
out to Indonesia.
What is so wrong
with a Singaporean asking
what happened
to our money?
It is tax payers money
afterall.
It took Goh Chok Tong
one whole day
to reply in the press
that parliament decided against
lending Indonesia.
Such a simple answer,
why was it so difficult
to reply to Chee Soon Juan?
When you take so long,
to give such a simple answer
you lose credibility too.
And again,
where the hell,
was the defamation?
It is rightfully
a matter of concern
for Singaporeans
and their own money
Speaking of defamation,
what the hell is so wrong
with defamation?
Defamation should be
an integral part
of political debate!!!
Ok, politicians
get out of line.
Give them a warning
and a small fine
and let the people decide
on their integrity!!!
Do you have to cripple
a politican
when he says something
out of line?
By doing so,
you cripple
political debate!!!
And hence,
you cripple
any form
of political dissent!!!
Now you have the PAP
calling James Gomez
dishonest and a liar.
Lee Kuan Yew said
sue us.
What can James Gomez do?
Sue the government
and in doing so,
show that the PAP
was lying?
Right, I see another
defamation suit,
and another
bankrupt.
Guess what,
I have no fucking interest.

OK, so you asked
what have I done
to stop or prevent
child prostitution.
I have started a company
in Batam,
poured in my entire
life savings
to finance the company
for over a year already.
For the better part
of the first year,
the company was bleeding
and I supported
the entire company
with my hard earned money.
I kept my staff employed
kept them off the streets.
I rented a huge bungalow
which is my corporate headquarters
my warehouse
and my staff quarters.
My company provides
3 meals a day
for my employees
and lodging too
for some.
I have a company van
that sends them out
to do sales.
When that is not possible
I pay,
for their transport.
My staff,
who are mostly
uneducated,
are paid better
than fresh graduates
in Jakarta.
I pay
for them to come
to Singapore
for training,
mostly their first time
out of the country.
Their kids come to the house
and be babysat
when their parents
work for me,
including single mothers
and former prostitutes.
My general manager
provides english lessons
to the staff
and their children
in the evenings.
Sure, my primary motivation
is profits,
but a company
can afford to have
a social conscience
only when it is making money.
When it was not,
I was the one
carrying 27 employees.
I don't like the idea
of giving handouts.
Look at NKF
in Swingabore,
let alone
Indonesia.
So what have I done
to stop prostitution?
Quite a lot,
although I admit,
I still keep feeling,
I can do more.

And we hear the usual thing
Opposition have no calibre.
Singaporeans tell me the same thing

Because opposition have no calibre.

LKY.

Who gives a fuck?
If you're upset with the government,
vote a fucking clown in!!!
Send the message across,
that you prefer
to vote a clown
than a president's scholar.
Show them that
if they want to remain
as ruling party,
they better start
taking the feelings
and welfare
of the people
into consideration
when they make
their policies.
And besides,
if you really want calibre opposition,
vote a clown in.
In 4 years time,
you will find calibre people,
who will think,
if a clown and do it,
so can I.
And don't buy the story
that Singapore will collapse
overnight.

have always outperformed

If you really want to stop

why don't you ask your Swedish government,
to let these families migrate
to your beautiful and rich country?
Share some of your wealth
share some of your wonderful life???
I am not for child prostitution either.

When you're born

is mostly an unfortunate

commented that when he helped conduct

there is a climate

of people
who polled that
they fear the PAP.

But if on national TV
you can demand
pollsters be named,

in fear,

I thought I saw
my ex classmate today.
I remembered him
very clearly in school.
I used to think,
boy, this guy is really dumb.
He is just not good
at any subject
in school.
He could not play
any sport either.
A total loner,
nobody likes you
when what you're good at
amounts to shit,
and your parents
are not even rich.
Rich kids
have this confidence
in themselves.
I guess it comes
when there is nothing
you really want
that your parents can't
buy for you.
It comes when
as a growing child
you can buy food
at the tuckshop
till your hearts content
without having to worry
about not having enough
bus fare
to go home.
It comes when
you have all the tutors
to help you
at your school work.
It comes when
you are afforded
tennis and squash rackets
while the rest of the poor boys
kick a football around.
So I saw him,
sitting alone
staring at his Tiger beer,
and his half eaten
chicken rice.
All alone,
no wife to cook for him,
no kids to come home to.
His tanned face
wore a look of
quiet resignation
with life.
He is probably
a bus or truck
driver.

human spirit
who overcame enormous odds
to excel
in life.

family and children,

where he has this yearning need

But women generally,
do not like
the dominant position.
They aspire
for their men,
to be in
the position
of power.
So they divorce,
and seek out
the prince
of their lives.
Well,
this prince,
usually has the power
to dominate,
and its mostly
for economic reasons.
Or he is,
a well sought after
good looking stud
making women wet their pants
just looking at them.
But the bad news is,
a man
who wields
that sort of power,
invariably
have plenty
of choices.
And they're always there
like butterflies
fluttering
over a sweet smelling flower.
These days
the butterflies
are imported
from PRC.
It is tragic,
but the truth is,
even if all else remain equal,
the level of appreciation
from these girls
are almost always
a quantum leap
higher.
What a difference
that makes
to a man.
I stand by what I said
yesterday.
Thanks for the emails,
I do read them with interest,
I always like an alternative

Why have I failed
in my numberous relationships
with women?
Its the balance of power
that I failed to
understand.
People possess power
over others,
when they either
have the resources
that others want,
or they possess the means
to have the resources
that others want.
I have never witnessed
a purely egalitarian
power sharing
type of relationship
between a man
and a woman.
It is always
a personal exploitation
of resources
and wants.
A husband who cares less
always have the power
to exploit
the wife who cares more.
A wife who have less interest
always have the power
to exploit the husband
who have more interest.
People's needs and wants
are many.
Be it social,
be it economic,
be it emotional,
be it sexual.
And in this day and age,
where alternatives
are plentiful
and divorces easy
to obtain,
there is really no difference,
between leaving the spouse
for a 3rd party,
or leaving the spouse
with the INTENTION
of finding a 3rd party,
the power of obtaining
alternatives.
Some women
like to dominate,
some get bored
dominating
and want to be
dominated.
It does not change the fact
that the balance of power,
was not addressed.
The power
to commit,
or to withhold
a commitment.
Like everything else
in this capitalist world,
its all about
the power of demand
and supply

Oh, if I made add
on my favoured
warm and fuzzy relationship,
of low passion, high intimacy
and strong commitments.
Prophet Mohammad once wrote
in the Koran,
"A couple in a marriage,
is like the two main pillars
of the great temple.
They are slightly apart
but holding the great roof
of the temple
together"
That is so profoundly beautiful.
Because when two pillars
are too far apart,
the roof will collapse.
Conversely,
when two pillars
are too close together
the roof will collapse too.
Thus, I see a healthy marriage
as one where
two people actually develop
their individuality
and personalities
slightly apart
but working together
to hold the great roof
of their marriage,
but always
slightly apart.
I don't want a woman
to cling to everything
I say or do.
I like a woman
who motivates me
to be a better man
develops my mind
and my soul
without being
overbearing.
And likewise,
I'd give her all the moral support
I can give
to make her
a more complete woman,
I want to extract
the best from her,
so she live to her
maximum potential
and be complete.

OK ok
I've been harsh
when I wrote of Dad,
calling love
a cheap fuck.
But that does not
in anyway
disqualifies me
from speaking
of love.
Believe me,
I thought alot about
this subject matter,
probably thought
a bit too much,
probably more
than other
subject matters.
For a start,
I believe
the are 3 essential
building blocks
of this thing
we call LOVE.
I call them,
(1) Intimacy
(2) Passion
(3) Commitment
In Intimacy,
I mean this nice
and warm feeling,
of liking a person's
companionship.
Where you can speak freely,
with understanding,
communication
and support.
Passion however,
is a more intense
form of longing,
characerised by
desire and longing,
usually manifested
by physical arousal.
Commitment is a devotion
to dedicate oneself
to his or her
partner,
seeking mutual happiness.
Now that we've drawn
the building blocks
of love,
lets examine how
they inter relate.
In a normal romantic love,
passion and intimacy
usually occur together.
Thereafter, the couple
decide to commit
to a future together
and we have all the hallmarks
of romantic love.
As opposed to infatuations,
where passion is strong,
but intimacy may be absent.
Or even if intimacy is present,
commitment is clearly not.
And when a woman says
she likes you,
but do not love you,
she meant, that the intimacy
is probably there.
She likes your company,
but feels no passion
and certainly no plans
for commitment.
Passion is a dangerous thing.
For some couples,
passion lasts a few months
some a few years,
a tiny minority,
a lifetime.
For most couples,
the passion wanes
after a while.
But they still enjoy
the companionship,
chatting together,
having dinners together.
And more importantly,
still dedicated
to their commitment.
I think of this
no passion, good intimacy, strong commitment
as a healthy and mature
relationship.
In this day and age,
many couples make the mistake,
of deciding that love is dead,
where the passion is gone.
No my dear,
love is not dead,
your marriage is not sick,
it merely went into
a more stable and sustainable phase.
You may not be screwing
at the backseat
of the car,
but you enjoy dinner
with your husband
after work
nonetheless.
But if BOTH passion
and intimacy is gone,
and only commitment is left.
Where you rather die,
than to make love to him.
Where you feel like poking
his eyes out
with your chopsticks
over dinner,
but feel stuck in the marriage
because of the children
or worse, a HDB flat,
thats where I call
a loveless marriage.
And of course,
there's the stupid married
for all the wrong reasons,
that is, no intimacy,
great passion,
and commitment.
Those who marry someone
whom they have nothing in common
to talk about,
other than great sex
and deciding that their commitment
is based on that.
A very lucky few,
have high passion, intimacy
and commitments
for a lifetime.
That's what movies are made of,
its a one in a million chance
that I won't bet for myself.
The better bet,
is the mature one
of little passion, but great intimacy
and strong commitment.
People do drift apart
and that's a fact.
Human relationships
are such
in nature.
We all had primary school friends
whom we thought
we would be friends
forever.
But people drift apart,
and it does not even
take a fight
to do so.
Our grand parents
know best.
In those days,
where people marry first
and fall in love
after that.
People get match made
and find reasons
to love
after the 6th kid
was born.
Our grand parents
know all about love.
They don't marry
because they were in love.
They marry
and found love
after years
of successful marriage.
We modern western educated fuckers
got it all wrong.
And don't email me,
feeling sorry
that I never experienced love.
I feel very fortunate,
to have experienced love
on 3 separate occasions.
Love and its failings
became such a preoccupation
of numerous analysis paralysis,
I'd do it again
and again.
Its quite fun
afterall

just what the hell fuck

Legally married
but no moral obligations

Socially married
but free to fuck
every single man

So why the hell fuck
stay married for???
Do yourself a favmour
do your husband a favour
get an instant divorce.
As a man,
if I were in that stage (again)
I'd pay my way out
of a fucked up marriage.
When the decision
has been made,
just go get a divorce.
When a woman stops loving,
she is the most
unsentimental creature
on the planet.
She feels for you,
like the way
a chicken feels

If during this separation,
she decides to come back.
Invariably,
its for all

Either money,
or lack of better alternatives.
Would you settle for that?

a swift uppercut
to the temples

a brutal hook

what you want

You find it offensive,
that Mohammad is portrayed
as a terrorist,
and you defend
His name

OK I give up.

Guess I must have
my say
regarding the Danish cartoon
depicting Prophet Muhammad
as a terrorist.
Go ahead,
boycott Danish products.
Although I would really wonder
if they would boycott
insulin,
seeing that the Danes
produce 80% of world supply.
Go ahead,
recall your ambassadors
from Copenhagen,
as a form of protest.
But
asking the UN
to make religious insults
illegal?
Circulating anti-Danish cartoons
to incite racial hatred?
Threatening to kill
any Dane?
Attacking EU offices
and Danish embassies
around the world?
Come on guys,
I am sure
your newspapers
publish anti-american
or anti-semitic cartoons.
Nobody in this world
absolutely nobody
deserves a divine right
not to get offended.
The Danish newspaper
is not even government owned,
how can it represent
all of Denmark?
Nobody can force you
to buy or read
the Danish newspaper.
If you're upset,
be upset with
the newspaper,
not the country,
nor its people,
or the rest
of the non-Muslim world

Lastly,

its a fucking cartoon.

Just why

should I marry you?
I would gladly
look after a woman
in her middle age

to spend
her youth

In your youth,
you may spend it
with me,

stopped looking
for another man.
Never stopped
wanting out.
Now as you approach
middle age,

Perhaps.
I won't rule it out

If you start

let alone

A recently divorced friend
told me that
she is enjoying
her new freedom.
I wonder why.
I don't like freedom,
I like commitment.
Ms X is flying now
to San Francisco.
I hate being alone.
As I walk around the mall,
on a particularly lovely day,
slightly cold
and lightly drizzling,
life seems so vibrant.
Shops are heaving
with people,
restaurants and coffee shops
are full of live.
But yet
I feel utterly alone.
Its a cool lovely afternoon,
I wish I am curled up
in bed,
with Ms X.
Instead, all I have
is this oppressive
and distressing feeling
of loneliness.
On days like this,
I will stumble into
my favourite bar,
hoping to see
someone I know,
its better
than drinking alone.
I am reasonably rich,
there is nothing I really want
that I cannot afford.
But even pampering myself
in an luxurious spa
with gentle
and attentive masseurs
does not seem
particularly relaxing
or enjoyable.
Hundreds of people
read this blog
everyday,
just to see
what I have to say,
I am surrounded by
friends and family,
who always sought
my point of view.
But yet I feel
wretched and useless.
Almost as if
my existence
itself is awkward
and unnatural.
I ate at my favourite stall
and yet it tasted bland,
somehow having someone
to share a meal with
is part of the
eating experience.
Actually, in truth,
I do not particularly enjoy
the company of people,
but yet,
it is better than
being alone
and miserable
in a dull
and insipid life.

And so this is
yet another
Christmas.
Another year over
another year older.
As I rue
about how
I am going
to spend Christmas Eve
all by myself
over a bottle
of wine
alone.
Maybe the problem
is me.
Maybe
I expect
too much
and invariably
get dissappointed.
Maybe
its because
I wanted you
to be
like me.
Maybe
its because
I would never
do the things
you do
to someone
I love.
Maybe
its because
I would never
say the things
you say
to someone
I love.
Maybe I am
just like Pygmalion
in the Greek legend.
Pygmalion found
women
way too
imperfect,
he decided
to create
his perfect woman.
He took a marble slab
and laboured on it
for months.
Carving here,
smoothing there,
rounding here,
chipping there.
Working till
he created
his perfect
feminine form
embodying grace
and virtue.
The statue he created
was exquisite.
So perfect indeed,
that Pygmalion
fell in passionate love
with his creation.
He would be seen
kissing the statue,
talking to the statue,
fingering its
marble hands.
But in spite
of his work's perfection,
Pygmalion was
desparately unhappy.
For the lifeless statue
could not respond
to his desires,
the cold stone
could not return
the warmth
of his love.
He has set out
to create
his perfect woman
but only succeeded
in creating
his own frustration
and despair.
Maybe I'm like
Pygmalion.
Maybe I tried
too hard
to mould you
into my idea
of a perfect woman,
and only succeeded
to be frustrated
and bitter.
Maybe if you actually
became more
like what
I wanted
of you,
it would rob you
of your life's spirit,
your distinctiveness.
Maybe I should just
accept you
for what you are.
Maybe I should just
accept that
you're just a
very abusive person.
Physically abusive
Emotionally abusive
Spiritually abusive
Intellectually abusive.
Maybe I should just
accept all that
like a man.
Maybe I should
accept that
you will never
be wholly mine,
and I have to share
you with other guys.

is I think too much

Next you get a referee
to stand at the edge

a foul,

Soon, you will have

and fall
into the big hole.

What would you do for Jesus Christ?
Hmmmmmm.....
OK, I'll put him at centre forward,
and play Peter Crouch behind him.
I watched Saturday's game closely,
and concluded Rafa Benitez
is a Messiah.
He maximised Hyypia's
positional play
and heading abilities,
minimized his lack of pace
at the centre of defense,
by have Carragher
on his left,
and Finnan
on his right.
Rock solid defense,
guys playing their hearts out
for each other.
Warnock to provide
additional cover,
or Riise and Finnan
attacking wingbacks.
In midfield,
we have Sissoko and Hamann,
playing defensive midfield,
cutting out attacks early,
so the back 4,
can defend much higher
up the field,
employing offside traps
to perfection.
Alonso and Gerrard,
versatile attacking midfielders
and yet comes back to help
in defense.
Kewell, Garcia, Zenden
providing width at the
attacking flanks,
Crouch, Morientes, Cisse
up front.
Yes, Jesus would be good
at centre forward.

Rest in peace George
you may not know it

of many
and made a difference.
I was too young
when you were at your
brillant best,
but I saw a video once.
You were playing against England.
You weaved your way
past England's world class
defenders,
and had only Gordan Banks
then the best goalkeeper
in the world
to beat.
You could have scored,
but no,
that would have been
way too easy
for you.
Instead,
you took the ball back,
dribbled past
the same defenders
AGAIN,
then dribbled past
Gordan Banks,
and stroked the ball
into an empty net.
At that time,
I knew I witnessed
a moment

I saw how
you went down,
drinking your frustrations
away.
And alcohol finally
killed you.

but the years
have a way
of robbing brillance
away.
If only you could
roll back the years
and delight us
with your gift
again.
Even Wayne Rooney
would be humbled.
Made me laugh
or cry,
when our scholars
are made to think
they're actually
gifted.
Rest well George,
much more than others
you truly deserve
eternal peace.

Front page news
on Today paper.
About kids from the government's
Gifted Education Programme.
How they've been given booklets
telling them
they are different
from others.
How they form,
they own sub-culture,
and only hangout
with each other.
Like as though,
their shit
smells better
than others.
These guys
who are totally
out of touch
with the man
in the street,
have absolutely
no clue
about the kind
of life's problems
we face,
but yet,
they are expected
to be
our leaders.
God help us.
Having an exceptional IQ
does jackshit
for you.
You will never learn
about life,
until
you realise
that EVERYONE
you meet in Life
is
YOUR TEACHER

Lets get this straight.
Your lips
are good for just
3 things.
Blowjobs
Kisses
Smiles.
In that strict order.
Don't speak.
If you want to communicate
write me
an email,
or send me
an SMS.
For fuck's sakes,
just shut
the fuck up.
Love should not
just be blind,
but also
deaf

At a luxury hotel
in the Jordanian capital
of Amman,
a couple prepares
their wedding march.
A suicide bomber
for a Al Qaeda cell
blew himself up,
as the bride and groom
were making their
grand entrance,
surrounded by family
and friends,
joining them
in their matrimonial
celebrations.
The groom said afterwards,
I lost both my father
and my father-in-law
on my wedding night.
The World has to know
that this has nothing
to do
with Islam.
I'm shocked.
After what happened,
this guy
has the audacity
to make
a religious statement.
Take it one step further brother,
declare the terrorists
enemies of Islam,
declare Jihad
against them
and start wiping
these infidels out.
Because,
when you isolate them,
make them realise
that their fellow Islamic brothers
are not on their side,
they're gonna have problems
recuiting new suicide bombers

The Buddhists teach
moderation.
Because even too much
of a good thing
is bad for you.
Hmmmm,
thus it follows,
that too much
of a bad thing,
have to be good for you!!!
OK, more lard,
more smokes,
more booze.
that should moderate,
too much
sex.

The rich and Western world,
is beating up poor nations
in the name of
GLOBALISATION
and
FREE TRADE.
Just what the fuck is that?
You rich countries,
come to Asia,
dump your surplus goods
demanding we buy them.
Dump them cheap
no doubt,
but so cheap
that our local industries
cannot compete.
And we become
forever dependent
on your supplies.
And you expect us
to thank you
for that?

Just what the hell fuck
is wrong with this country?
We are hanging
this unfortunately Aussie
for minor drug trafficking
but we are investing
our country's national reserves
in Myanmar Fund
controlled by Burma's
biggest drug lords.
We are hanging
people for
drug abuse,
citing that drugs
affects families
and destroy lives,
but we encourage gambling
and setting up of casinos,
when it is also
a well known fact,
that gambling
affects families
and destroy lives.
We elect ministers
to be our leaders,
only to find out
that our ministers
need a mentor.
