Went to KTV today with Joey, Clarence and Ziman. We all went to Party World at orchard and I must say, the way they furnish the KTV... it makes it look damn sleezy. From the deco, to the sofas, to the doors with golden handles...... the whole KTV reminds me of some sleezy shanghai night club or some " ham shup" KTV. Kaoz..... At first should have 2 more ppl with us, but Weiling and her bf, Zhenming are coming later. The KTV was rather fun although i have great difficulting singing those chinese songs coz i jus dunno how to read the words!!!!!!!! Joey was beside me, reading out practically every line of lyrics in advance for me : P. YEs!!! My chinese is that bad !!! I can speak and listen to chinese pretty well but when it comes to reading and writing ....its no No NO!!!!
Ya for those of u scratching your heads now ...thinking that erm.... what the hell is alex doing in the ktv....well....i must say its all thanks to joey. I used to be very shy with the mircophone....and ...i do have a lousy voice and am terribly tone deaf. ( i think i still am !! ) Joey was the one encouraging me saying things like ...eh ...its not that bad lah ..... can one lah ..... Hmmmm... that gradually built up my confidence i guess..... Thanks sooo much sormui.... :)
Later, after the ktv, met up with the rest of the kpoh group. They are, sam, weiling and zhenming. Why kpoh group??? Coz all of us share something in common. We are all damn Kpoh !!!! Everything also want to know! And some of them are powerful gossipers ( not in the bad sense though ) The moment we sat down on the table, the girls started gossiping abt the latest news, clothes whatever whatever...............girls lah ....... We ordered this huge sea food platter accompanied by a pizza. What a feast!!! Then after the meal, while walking around, zm saw earings going cheap for $10 for 3 pairs. So she asked joey and sam to each get one too so that can be cheaper. So the next 30 mins or so was spent deciding which ones to buy, who to buy more, .which one nicer, which one looks common blah blah blah..... until they FINALLY settle down on a choice. In the end the funny thing was ...its was zm who suggested getting earrings and end up i got joey a pair and sam got 2. Hmmmmm .......girls ah !!!!! hai~~~~ : P heehee....anyways the one that they got was really nice lah .... so no complains...happy can liao lor :)

Millenia Walk Fountains
Went to Millenia Walk. The fountains are sooooo nice. The lighting, the sound of the water flowing..... a romantic night out with a love one :D As usual, on our way there, she was saying that i will sure get lost again. Hmmm am i that bad... but ok lah i do admit that i have i bad sense of directions, not to mention equally poor memory. Anyway, in the end some old grey cells of mine still retain an impression on how to get there and we reached there eventually after a few detours :P We walked around messing with the digi cam that i brought along. TOok a few pictures here and there. Then i got this idea of going to the glass panel behind and take our reflection off those glass panels. It took many tries thou, before we could get it right. In the end its sormui who got it right ah ..... :D She was happily saying again and again " see see .....still say i cannot take photos"
aiyoz..........sorry lahz......
Took our reflections off the glass panel at millenia walk fountains..... it took us quite a while...but i think it turns out very nice :D I took this one ...but its abit off centre
This is the picture that sormui took. We finally got it right this time!!! After looking at it both of us think its rather creepy ah ... look like casper in the rain on some dark stormy night :P

My driving license.......... FiNaLLy!!!!!!!!!!
Took my diving test today ......
I woke up actually feeling "kan jiong". Thats rather strange.... ususally i am rather calm about such things. I checked the clock. 5.30am. Woah thats a bit early.... still got another one hour plus to sleep before needing to get out of bed. I tried to sleep somemore until it was eventually 6.45am before i got up.
Had takeaways for breakfast then got down to ubi driving centre. Traffic was heavy and the bus, utterly congested. I reached there some 45mins later.
The morning`s circuit practice before the test was a nightmare. I made many mistakes. Missed a turning, overshot white line, hit the kerb during crank course, and hit the kerb again during parallel parking. Parallel parking!!!!!!! this is the first time i hit the kerb during parallel parking in all my one year plus plus experience as a trainee!!! And it had to be today!! :(
So when i started the actual test later, i was rather calm, thinking that i was doomed to failure. However, i went throught the circuit without any mistakes and slowly, my confidence builts up. It was unevenful on the road too, except that when a lorry comes out of a junction and cut into my lane suddenly. Thankfully i was alert. When i finally reached the driving centre, the tester told mi to turn right into the sheltered area. Happy be be back i turned in, rather too fast, resulting in a very wide turn. Then, i turned into the left lane immediately without checking in went into the shelter, again too fast.......... opppppss!!!!!!! ( it`s always me to get complacent in the last min and blow it all ) With that, the tester angrily turned around and said, " Wahhhhh, u horrible driver, never check blindspot ah !!!!!!! " I turned around sheepishly.
" U ah ....some ppl seldom check blindspot ....some ppl sometimes check ......as for U, u NEVER checked at all ......thats really terrible....u can cause accident u know.....u better improve your driving technique.......and u better be careful in future......blah blah blah blah !!!!!!!!! " said in an agitated tone.
"shucks.......this time ah .....sure fail again ah "
After his lecture, he put a tick at the passed box and handed me my test slip. I was very surprised....did he tick wrongly anot? I checked the paper and added the marks ...hmmm 18 ...so is pass. It took awhile for this piece of information to sink in......before ......woooooohooooooo
I passed ..!!!!!!!!! I finally passed!!!!!!!

Joey and I met up with Clarence and his gf, zhiman for a movie today. We watched King Arthur. It was Clarence who suggested watching the show together. Althought initially i thought of going east coast to cycle with Joey today, i thought that this group dating thing was a pretty good idea......so why not? Its rare to find common friends. I do admit that initially i felt rather wierd, sorta like don`t know what to say .... but its ok ..we will get over it soon. I mean, come on this is the only the first such outing right. Its sometimes rather awkward when we all like dunno what to say. Zhiman was like trying to start some sorta conversation and i think both me and Joey has got nothing much to add on to it...... erm.... perhaps we still haven warmed up to it yet lah .....hope that we didn`t make Clarence and Zhiman feel uncomfortable or anything. Haahaa anyways it was nice meeting Zhiman, the one that Clarence always speak so fondly of :) Hope that there will be more such outings in future, and this time Weiling and Zhengming comes along too!!!
As for the movie... i think it was rather disappointing. The characters have no depth and even when they die, u don`t feel for them. The plot is weak too...... not much nerve wreaking action too.

Hall Application successful
I recieved the email last friday. Naturally i was overjoyed. Of course happy lah ~~ can save on travelling time ... 3 hours in total each day !!! thats alot of time that i can spend on doing other more meaningful things. I was given the old kent ridge. At first i thought that i was allocated Extension A. Extension A is like kwok. The building is relatively new and its high rise, with the highest storey being 8th storey. However i was rather disappointed to be allocated to the old kent ridge. That place is damn old man..... its like a haunted house!!!!!! There are no facilities either .....NO FACILITIES Wah ........ as what Rayner ( my roommate last sem ), make friend with pointainak.
*shivers*
Hmmm... so dunno want to stay anot leh ........ must weigh the pros and cons. I really hope to find accomodation. If not, must travel up and down ... waste time and very tiring as well.... furthermore, i am a person that cannot function without sleep. Furthermore, if i choose to stay, i can spend more time with joey during the semester. More able to accompany her when she got free periods.
Hmmmm pros and cons............. but if i choose to stay ....hopefully Rayner can be my neighbour.... got some company is better. Furthermore .... both of us can be daaaammnn crappy, so it will be fun. Beats staying alone....so sianzzzzzz

Working experience
I just finished my 3 day stint working as a sales promoter with Hugo Boss and boy .... and i dead tired. These days i don`t seem to have as much energy as i had in the past. I used to be able to work full shifts, from 9.30 am till 11pm then go out for a late night coffee or pool with my friends later on. I would reach home at about 2am and worked full shift the very next day for maybe like 3 consecutive days before i would drop dead but i can`t seem to do all these now. I used to be able to sleep 4 hours a day and still function normally in the day time but now even with 6 hours of sleep i can still be a walking zombie....Why ah ??? cannot be old so soon right i am only 21 going 22!!!! O_o Maybe i should reflect abit and do some adjustments to by bio clock and inject some energy and zest into the monotonous life i am having right now.....
The 3 days of work has been pretty amusing to me. Life as a retailer is rather similar to that of an actor. I mean before the store opens we are cleaning the counters, checking stocks, chatting, playing with our goods, lying down.... then just before the store opens, there will be an announcement to get us into positions. Its something like a " ready action go !!! " kinda thing. Then throughout the day, we must act smilely and nice .....
smile smile smile ..... even if the customer looks like a pig or when she is bitchy...
laugh laugh at all the cold jokes that they sometimes give,
act knowledgeble.... even if u dun have a damn clue what the hell they want,
act cool even when they make some comments that makes u wanna punch them,
and.........
make the product damn nice or cool .... even if u personally think it smells like some 100 day fermented youghurt that makes even my dog puke in disgust.........
all of these .....all for the sake of sales ...and my commission.... unscrupulous me...........
I learn some pretty cool stuff as well regarding women`s makeup.
A women`s makeup box, something damn complicated, lotsa stuff inside each with a specific use ... really it reminds me of a surgeon`s surgery tool satchet.
They got small casings of different coloured stuff inside where they use a brush to apply it to their face. The colour variety is amazing.... from hot pink to Crimson red to matt honey ........ so many colours aiyo ... why not just stick to a few basic colours??? seriously.... i think some colours don`t have much difference also... no need to mar fan lah ....
They got this big brush to apply to the cheeks ...so they can fake a blush and look embrasses at everything, or make their face look so smooth that even the mosquito slips off. They got smaller brush for the eye area... called mascara supposingly to make the eyes look bigger. Hmmm.......
Or is that eye shadow ...... when the women stays up all night watching and crying over some silly korean soap. This can cover up the eye bags and red ard the eye area and make them look fresh the next day
They got nail polish ...super alot of colours one .....if not applied with skill will look like peeling paint coming off a chinatown shophouse
Lipsticks.... interestingly comes in 3 modes.... glossy, semi-gloss and matt. eh........ think its a personal preference kinda thing ...cannot think of what functions each can do.
They got this small brush ...to come up the eye lashes so that can get something like Zhang Ziyi`s eye lashes....nice!!!
There is tweezers.... they use this to pluck eyebrows make it shapely so that wun be so bushy look like Osama like that.
then if u no skill puck also pluck too much, eyebrow outa shape or worst still, accidentally shaven off ....don`t worry ...got these pencils there ....with mirror and a steady hand ...u can draw back your eyebrows and Hooo la!!!!! These pencils come in many colours also ....so u can choose some eyebrow colour then match with your dyed hair.... so cool right....
Now i also start to wonder ........ lets say a women puts alot of makeup, then later in the day when she goes home ...then washes her face....woah .... everything flows into the basin. Now ....looks rather gross rite... a mixture of alot of colours stuff into the basin ....yucks......
Ok lah ...before all the girls start to scold me for writing all these.... ok lah ...girls go through alot of trouble to put on makeup and look good. So lah .... u all guys try to appreciate abit lo .... : P

First day of work.......lost lost lost
Started work as sales promoter for Hugo Boss fragrances in Paragon today. My 3 day stint as a stand in, parttimer, extrazzzz. Reached orchard rather early, with 20 mins to spare before i start work. First thing when i got there, i noticed to my horror, that i have totally forgotten where the staff entrance is. The last time i worked here was about 3 years ago, and i now have totally no idea. Furthermore, they have renovated paragon.
So i was left wandering floor to floor trying to recall how to get into metro via the staff entrance.
"Its on the 2nd storey.... " said a security guard.
"First storey lah ...." one cleaner said.
" No...no no.....forth storey" another cleaner said.
#$@$%#^^*%^($#$$@!#@$%*%&(^!!!!!!!!!!
In the end after searching for about 20 mins or more i finally found the entrance after calling my supervisor. So its at the 4th storey, that security guard ah .......... anyhow talk rubbish. still tell mi its confirm 2nd storey coz he worked here for some time liao, somemore tell mi dun believe the cleaner who was right. doh!!!
Found the counter and was pretty lost. Another security guard showed mi where the switches for the lights were. And then .......... i realised ..............i am suppose to sell cosmetics as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!! shit!!!! what is what ...what is this for???????? Why got pencil one ???? this powder put where one???????? and i am colour blind!!!!!!!!!!!
sobzzzzzzzzz

Happy birthday ~~
We had the bday cake at the stroke of midnight. Hahaa .. i insisted to meet her the day before her bday so that we can have the bday cake at midnight. I just want to be the first person to wish her Happy birthday. Hmmmmmm......wondered whats her bday wish???
Played around with the candles after eating the cake. After that jus sat there and watched the stars... Tried counting them though....... but seems an impossible task..... duh............... hmmmmmmm i wondered if there are ppl just like us .... at those stars looking at us, just like how we are looking at them now.
Hope i can make it memoriable for her..... as i feel that althought its her birhday, it has been memoriable for me :)
Went to high tea at Royal Plaza hotel later in the day. Talk about eating non-stop man. It was pretty good. The sashimi was nice, the fruit tarts awesome :D
Got her a watch as her bday present. Glad that she liked it. haha.... so the effort put into looking for it has not been wasted. Basically, think this is one of the better looking fossil watches that i saw. The rest just look rather plain. Furthermore, alot of places out of stock already, so i really felt very lucky to have found one of these last few pieces...hahahahahaha.
Went to the suntech city fountains after that. We walked all the way there as we were sooooo full. Walked 3 rounds around the fountains...... made a wish .....hmmmmmm wonder if it will come true not :)
This place is really memorable to me. This is where i first held her hand :P
Once again....
Happy birthday sormui!!!! Really hoped what u have enjoyed yourself today. Must remember the message i wrote in the card hor!! ;)

Driving lessons
YES i am STILL having driving lessons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I`m so bored...so sick of driving lessons.....when will i ever get my goddamned driving license ?!?!?!?!?!?!!? arrrgggh....
Had my first driving lesson in 6 weeks. Ever since i failed my first driving test i have stopped my lessons until now. I don`t see the point of having more lessons... i should have passed the last time!!!!!!! Failed for all the stupid reasons.... failed just because i am a first timer.... failed just because i got the wrong tester..hai........
As usual ... my driving instructor keep on nagging while i am driving .....then mumbles to himself on where i should turn at the next junction. Sometimes i really cannot hear what he is saying as he ALWAYS mumbles!!!!
I must say that drivers here are generally very impatient. They overtake u without even caring whether u are blocking their way anot! They expect u to swerve away from them ....
wah......... too much .....
no wonder there are road accidents.....some people are really way too inconsiderate!!!!

with love comes trust .....with trust comes love.......
Went to Macdonald`s for breakfast. I simply love the hotcakes....ahahha i dunno why ":P
then to Chinese Gardens.... strange place to go right...
eh ... i was curious lah ... last time i went there ...i was very small.
Anyway, it was really quiet there, hardly any visitors except for some lonely tourists, couples there for wedding photographing.
Hmmm .... we took some photos there as well. Played some 5 stones ...basically just looking around.
Its quite a nice place except that this cafe there was blasting some techno music.
Techno music in chinese gardens????? duh.....................
Anyway.... later we went to Far East...argh...this is the 2nd time here this week haahah
but i got to taste the most amazing chicken cutlet ever!!!!
Its located at the basement, its called Shijin chicken cutlet, its a taiwanese dish.
Try it!!! its damn nice .... its seasoned with dunno what pepper lah .... but its nice can liao.
Really enjoyed my day out today :D
I must say that both of us are getting closer and closer everyday and i am really feeling very happy abt this. We have gone through rough patches and weathered throught storms together and i`m really happy that we can pull through all those obstacles and arrive to today.
Sigh.... i am really grateful to have her put up with my shortcomings and be so understanding all these while ...love u lots ;')
I used to think that its with love comes trust.... but over the course of time .... i realised that its actually with trust comes love.
And trust is not sometime that can be acomplished in a day or a month. It takes alot of time, patience, effort and sacrifice. It`s a gradual process of building up trust between 2 parties and only that can we then find true happiness and love.
Hmmmm... sounds very chim ah ...hahaha...
so its with trust comes love which will bring more trust and more love........blah blah
ok ok .... maybe its somethign like the chicken and egg thing .....
shall continue to observe, understand and learn.... :P

Try it!!! its damn nice .... its seasoned with dunno what pepper lah .... but its nice can liao.
Really enjoyed my day out today :D
I must say that both of us are getting closer and closer everyday and i am really feeling very happy abt this. We have gone through rough patches and weathered throught storms together and i`m really happy that we can pull through all those obstacles and arrive to today.
Sigh.... i am really grateful to have her put up with my shortcomings and be so understanding all these while ...love u lots ;')
I used to think that its with love comes trust.... but over the course of time .... i realised that its actually with trust comes love.
And trust is not sometime that can be acomplished in a day or a month. It takes alot of time, patience, effort and sacrifice. It`s a gradual process of building up trust between 2 parties and only that can we then find true happiness and love.
Hmmmm... sounds very chim ah ...hahaha...
so its with trust comes love which will bring more trust and more love........blah blah
ok ok .... maybe its somethign like the chicken and egg thing .....
shall continue to observe, understand and learn.... :P

It never entered my mind...............
I must say music has a very important role to play in my life. No, i can`t play the piano, can`t read musical scores, can`t compose cannot sing. I say i appreciate music but too bad .....i can`t make my own. Really regretted not picking up music when i was young :(
Anyway recently got hooked on this classical piece .. "it never entered my mind".
It`s piano piece in played by the girl in the movie Windstruck. Er.... strange but its not from the soundtrack, so if u want that song ...let mi noe :)
What struck mi is the simplicity of the melody...... yet so thought provoking.
Its the kinda tune that u listen to, in quiet evenings... on a comfortable crouch... a mood and place to consolidate your thoughts... revive memories................
It never entered my mind.....
that trust don`t come easily, it must be earned slowly bit by bit over a course of time.
It never entered my mind.....
that friendships are very brittle, don`t ever betry their trust, and don`t ever let them betray yours.
It never entered my mind.....
to always treasure your parents, you will never know when they will be gone forever.
It never entered my mind.....
that the things u have said, could cause great hurt to someone else........
better watch your tongue.
It never entered my mind.....
how painful it feels, to miss someone.
and how wonderful it feels to be missed.
paradox.
It never entered my mind.....
how easy is it to take the ones u love for granted.
Don`t ever do that ...for u will regret it later.......
It never entered my mind.....
that love is all about trust, acceptance and sacrifice.
It never entered my mind.....
that all the beauty of the world actually lies in the eyes of the people laughing with you.
It never entered my mind.....
that the soul lies on the heart, and beauty in the mind.
It never entered my mind.....
that we should treasure every present moment for after that it can only exist as memories.

Impossible is nothing!!!
Sigh...... the Greeks won.
But credit should go to them too .... they reallie believed and they succeeded.
Guess that we can learn alot from their spirit.
U might not be the best, yet among the best u can emerge the winner if u are optimistic and really believe in your abilities.
Their victory was really bittersweet as i prefer Portugal to win it.
But it goes to show that life is really unpredictable, do not be complacent simply because u are better......
u`ll never know when a nobody can outdo you and send u to the slums......
So .... hail to the Greeks!!!!!
Impossible is nothing!!!!!!!!1
and to the Portuguese, u lost because u are unlucky.... but the same luck brought u to the finals as well....so take it with grace.

A day out ....sour plums .... tousa bing..... oyster omelette.... 5 stones
Went out with sor mui today ......
First we met at Far East Shopping Centre. She wanted to alter her skirt which is too big for her.
"See lah ... so slim liao still want to diet!!!!!!!!!!!! "
"Yeah...... Finally can find somebody who can alter it for me liao !!!!!!! " she announced cheerfully.
HaHA.......its sometimes so cute that she can be overjoyed by the simplest of things :D
Anyway we were supposed to go to maxwell food centre to have dinner. The last time we passed by there i noticed that there we lotsa yummies around ...so this time i suggested going there to eat till our hearts fill.
Well.............. the problem is ......... along the way, we bought alot of tidbits and finger foods to eat... so by the time we got there we were actually quite full liao .... hahahaha
We ate Ya Kun`s again!!!
I was forced to drink this really disgusting plum juice.... it was a forfiet lah ....that darned minesweeper game. I can`t imagine anyone liking this horrible stuff...its simply disgusting ...hahahahaha really had a hard time finishing it man... and all the while she was like clapping and saying hahaahah .... so nice anot........
PUKE~~~~~...........
Then saw this tousa bing at this japanese bakery shop. Hmmmm... rather strange right, a JAPANESE bakery shop in the middle of Chinatown. Anyway, whats so special about this tousa bing is that it is similar to the one doreamon luvs to eat for his "dian xing"
So we both had one eat and try to understand why doreamon is so in love with this.
Hmmmmm.... not bad :P
Then is was oyster omelette with some tasteless barley drink. Joey said she never eat b4, well its either u hate it or u love it ....she said not bad ....ok then its good ah :D

pizza with the powdered cheese ... smells like shit
youghurt drink .... yucks ..smells like the dustbin
dried persimmon .....argh ....u made me eat 3 on "that day" :P

Ya Kun Coffeestall
Hmmmm............ the taste of the Ya Kun`s kaya toast lingers in my mind........
It was 4pm and i just finished work. Damn hungry man.... ate lunch at ten fifteen in the morn ...and haven`t eaten anything since then. For most of the afternoon, all i can think of is what to eat later .. LOL.
Anyway, after work i was walking damn fast. Caught a train and alighted at Bishan.
Walked into a very crowded Ya Kun`s, saw a bunch of ppl queueing and joined in.
When its finally my turn..........
" eh ... kaya toast not here lah.....here kopi oni .. Q that side ," an elderly uncle told me.
" Orh........ ok okie...... ," i replied sheepishly. Damn... so hungry liao, now still must go the otherside.
Walked over... hey lucky no queue haha! But i think i must have rejoiced too early ...suddenly an auntie and a young couple came from nowhere and enter the queue, leaving me to be contented at the end of this newly formed queue.
Wah.....too much....$%W#%^$& my stomach protested.
Finally its my turn again and i was greeted by this auntie which flashed me a friendly smile.
"What do u want?"
" 2 kaya toast"
"Ok...nah ...take this no. tag then go outside there wait..later i deliever to u ," she said handing mi a big Obiang red tag with the number 5 on it, much to my horror.
So i stood there in the middle of nowhere, holding this Obiang no.5 tag trying to look inconspicious in the crowded coffeestall with almost no room to stand without blocking someoneelse's way. *sigh*
After a terribily long wait... the auntie emerges from the crowd carrying a little cute brown paper bag with the Ya Kun label and in it...... my precious 2 piece.
YEAH!!!!!! i took the bag and quickly moved out of the crowed hell hole.
I opened the bag and peeped. Ooooh.... toast toasted to golden brown...perfect :)
Took a bite.... sensational..... the crisy warm toast compliments the cool and sweet kaya in it ...not to mention the icy block of butter that is enclosed in it too.....
simply the best........try it to believe it :P
Maybe i was just hungry .... maybe it is really that nice... nevertheless ..i am now hooked to the Ya Kun kaya toast ..haha!!!!!!!!!
So what i did was call sor mui later that night and suggested to go eat it the next day again. To my pleasant surprise she ate the kaya toast today too...haha.....
So we played minesweeper online and again ....i lost ...hai~~~~ this time forfiet is to eat the sour plums...ewwwwww... pui~
But its ok lah ... at first is loser cannot eat Ya Kun tomorrow. Wah that is too much ah ...cannot eat Ya Kun...and still must watch the other person eat..... pure torture........ ok i rather eat that disgusting sour plums.....
kudos to the kaya toast :)

Blog blog blog..........
i still can`t believe that i actually came up with something such as a blog!!!!!!!!!!!
Used to think that blogs are created by bo liao ppl those with nothing better to do... well....seems like now i am one of those bo liao ppl :P.
So why create a blog right?
Well.... seems like after reading so many people`s blog, i was influenced into creating one. And since i don`t have the technical know how to create a webpage.. this is the next best thing :) so kudos to all the bloggers out there !!
Ok .. i`m 21 turning 22 .currently majoring in Electrical Engineering.
Basically ...rather introverted in thoughts ..extroverted in approach. Skeptical about life. Dreamy and ambitious... hate to fail, loves to succeed (well who doesn`t anyway)
Believes in persistence and perserverence. Enjoys humour.... laughter is the best medicine ... impatient and short tempered...
I always like to have an alternative view of things..............
When everything comes in your way you're in the wrong
lane.
The light at the end of the tunnel may be an incoming
train.
Born free taxed to death.
Everyone has a photographic memory, some just don't
have film.
Life is unsure, always eat your dessert first.
Smile, it makes people wonder what you are thinking.
If you keep your feet firmly on the ground, you'll
have trouble putting on your pants.
It's not hard to meet expenses, they are everywhere.
I love being a writer... what I can't stand is the
paperwork.
A printer consists of 3 main parts: The case, The
jammed paper tray and
the
blinking red light.
The guy who invented the first wheel was an idiot. The
guy who invented
the
other three, he was the genius.
The trouble with being punctual is that no one is
there to appreciate
it.
In a country of free speech, why are there phone bills?
If you tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the
universe, he"ll believe you.
But if you tell him a parkbench has just been painted, he has
to touch it to be sure.
If you cannot change your mind, are you sure you have
one?
If you can't convince them, confuse them.
It's not the fall that kills. It's the sudden stop at
the end.
I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn
louder.
Hot glass looks same as cold glass. - Cunino's Law of
Burnt Fingers
Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in
large groups.
