You leave me broken shattered alive

It's been some time, dear people. Much has happened in the last few weeks, in and out of the cyberworld. No access to the computer for just two weeks and i received 5 new messages on Friendster. Here're the 2 i feel y'all should see.

Message: care to know u??

What kind of a question is that? Like whether i care to know me? I don't know. Do i, Bryan ng? I think most people know by now how allergic i am to grammatically impaired people. It's different knowing how to construct a proper sentence but not doing so for a reason and being plain oblivion to what simple grammar is about. Yes, i am some sort of a peadant. Only some. Paiseh lar i english tutor wat. Hee hee.

Message: Hi.. Do u like sex? I'm curious 'bout it n wans it.. Can I hav sex wif u pls?

I goodnaturedly advised the son-of-a-bitch to try his mother first and i also reminded him that the Lakers got thrashed so damn badly by the Pistons.

Moving along, we've come to the final 4 teams of Euro. It's like a crazy, disoriented acid trip you look back and you find it quite hard to believe how things turned out. At the start everyone was predicting Italy, Germany, Spain or France to be win the tournament. And then they all died. I wish it wasn't so but somehow with respect to their performances on the whole this time round i'd say all of these 4, maybe with the exception of Spain, deserved their exit. Much as i like some of France's players (ok just about the Arsenal guys; i totally detest the sight of Silvestre), they hardly looked like a team that game they got knocked out by Greece. And Henry didn't even display the kind of prowess he did while playing Arsenal games. I think he missed Edu, Ljungberg and gang. I thought Sweden should've progressed to the semis but they've played some remarkable football and their kind of exit was glorious, something like England's. Oh, and watching a match on big screen is the best experience. The sound system, every detail every move every word from the commentator crystal clear, the atmosphere in the theatre... The excitement, along with the images, is magnified by more than a thousand times. Oh mann... ...

Eye candy alert: Dimitar BERBATOV (striker donning the no. 9 jersey for Bulgaria)

Special K said Berbatov looks like Andy Garcia. Now i really agree. He was born in 1981 how ideal is that for me?!! I just need to put myself in his suitcase now.

Have you ever felt like you can't forget how much of a pest someone once was? No matter how much time has gone by you still get annoyed by the person even though his actions are small or he might have left you alone for most part of life. Maybe you've mostly forgotten about it but you'll never forget what an asshole he made of himself. There are too many of such people in my life. And sometimes it's hard to get out of the past, to forget their ridiculous ways and to let them into your life again. Perhaps it's my defensiveness at work. I refuse to be reminded of how silly i was before. *jumps and kicks air*

Mango sale was quite fun. For those of you who weren't there to witness it, i'm sorry i've no vocabulary to describe the scene. Mindy couldn't have put it better. "Put women in a place full of clothes and it's enough to start a war".

Little Tooth Fairy

Everyone say "hi" to Penny. She's my sprouting wisdom tooth, tiny and growing. It's nice to have a new friend but this little one brings me quite a bit of pain. I'm having problems eating and the gum she's standing on is sore. She didn't get a nice, cosy spot to grow on so one day Penny might have to go.

You were kissed by a witch one night in the wood

How can people like watching reality TV shows? What's wrong with humanity?!! *arms outstretched towards the sky* Reality TV shows are far from real. While claiming to be genuine, they're doing nothing but taking the viewers for fools. I'd much rather watch a movie. It's the same thing, really. You have the script, a director, and actors to deliver the lines and play their roles.

Stupid shows like The Bachelor, Meet My Folks, Paradise Hotel should be banned from television. They do nothing but insult humankind.

Firstly they portray the contestants in the most negative light. That is, granted the contestants are indeed commonfolks who took part in the game. All of them i bet are just commissioned to appear on the show. (And Fear Factor's female contestants all happen to have big boobs) As if anyone in the right mind would actually be in love with some rich fuck and fight with other fuck-knows-how-many contestants to win his love. Oh puh-leeaaasse. I hate it when the airheads go gushing "I think he's my soul mate. Can't believe how much i love him already!" How can any one girl think that when that asswipe is snogging just about everyone else in the show?

That aside, producers of these so-called reality TV shows must think we're dumb enough to buy their deceit. And they prey on nothing less than our human sadistic nature. Y'know how people love watching cockfights? Yeah that's the same mindset people have while watching reality TV crap. So this makes the contestants tools for our amusement, and for the gains of the media execs of course.

To cater to the human sadistic nature, they sensationalise the content of these game shows. Otherwise ratings would drop, and these media execs will not be able to buy more and bigger houses and cars. So beware, dear people, everything you see on TV is fake! Do not trust Dove girls, and most importantly, DO NOT TRUST XANDO OR FANN WONG.

Moonshot, woodstock, watergate, punk rock

I've been a busy girl. The past few days, as if making up for lost time, i've been watching a whole lot of TV. Say what you want - "You had your head six feet under for the longest time!" - you're probably right. But i had never watched a single complete episode of Fear Factor until Sunday night. Nor had i lost my Third Watch virginity till about 2 hours ago. *giggles* And VH1's 100 Greatest Music Videos was a blast! There were Weezer, Aerosmith, Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson (but of course), Billy Joel, etc etc. (So MTV isn't totally hopeless, although it's usually the VH1 programmes that make my day) And what do we know, Hanson the mmmbop brothers are all grown up and their latest MTV hit Penny And Me is actually quite catchy. Hmm... Now i can hold my head up high and feel like i'm living in 2004! *winks*

Most hilarious MTV of the moment: Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out
