Cross with the world for treating you indifferently?
Blame it on the inbalanced perceptions weighing heavily only on one side of the scale.
Truth is, there is no right or wrong. Just what people think is right, or wrong. You can be justified, but is the voice powerful enough to speak up for you? Or rather, is you own voice louder than the crowd's?
What does it take for the discrepancies to disappear? Only when all of us are emotionless and clinical, which will never happen in reality. Similarly, only when all of us stop lying in the faces and start being less afraid, maybe the world could be a better place.
But then again, with supposedly super influential voices like the legendary Michael Jackson failing in his attempt to "make the world a better place, for you and me", what makes a typical non-pedophilic human being like anyone of us in always-always land more powerful to change the world, much less how people think?
More often than not, I find myself replacing uncertainty with words like fate, luck, "Suay", "sian", "die lor", "like that lor" or even "fucked up lor", which basically shows how helpless we are to the world of countless bias perceptions.
Even I, when writing this masterpiece am one sided about the world. I am basically aware of the direction and scope I am covering which is obviously insufficient to make my stand a justifiable one, but yet I still continue to write my piece.
Am I simply retorting to things I feel injustice about? Or do I just want to be heard?
Either way, I know someone in this virtual space of reality will be able to relate to what I've just said.
As much as I want to tell myself that everyone goes through in-parity some time in their lives, I silently await here with my words stored in bytes, selfishly hoping for a tiny bit of attention and for someone to say "I agree with you".
Perhaps, these small little words can mean so much to the disgruntled, but so little to the accomplished.

I've been ramen-hopping around very often all thanks to my friend S who has been recommending me new brands to try.
At first being quick to judge, I felt ajisen was the best and have been forcing friends to eat the same type of ramen each time we met up.
Then came a new job with new friends and also a chance to bond with old friends. S told me how awful ajisen tasted after trying Aoba at ION Orchard, which to my surprise was a complete knockout! But you must first have a craving for salty food before stepping in to one, else you will find yourself in a constant thirst for green tea!
The noodles are thicker and the soup is slightly more herbal than Ajisen. More importantly the tontoro meat is so tender it melts in your mouth, you'd never get enough of it! But like I've said, it only pleases the salty tongued.
If you feel like having creamier soup with smoother texture for the day, try Tampopo at Takashimaya basement called the black pig noodle. The meat tasted like streamed bacon and is less heavy when eaten with the noodles. However my most favourite part of the dish lies in the soup; it's creamier, more spicy and smoother.
What's food recommendation without salivating, mouth-watering pictures to entice!
Unfortunately they taste so yummy I completely forgot about taking photos!
Please stay tuned, I'll be back with images! Meanwhile, ramen lovers, go check them out!

A close friend shared with me that it takes 3 months to break away from a habit. To think I've tried so hard to break 3 at the same time before deluding into further depression because of the fact that I've never ever succeeded in breaking any of them at the end of the day.
My thought begins with casting a larger net to capture at least one fish in it. But I forget to realize that with so many eggs in one basket..... I've never focused on hatching one entirely before moving onto another. It doesn't help very much that my aptitude isn't as potentially wide as a chicken ass enough for me to hatch all my eggs at one go.
While I'm still here touching my head full of hair while I think of the next sentence to write for this entry, I slide into deep deep thoughts again, wondering when will I ever be able to find a rough, frictionally satisfying strand of shrivelled hair again to make my search for a needle in a haystack worthwhile.

To me, it was a fantastic show in itself because the idea of a 20 year old creating what eventually became as a billion-dollar sensation was simply mind blowing! You wonder how did he become so brillant and what actually goes on in his mind to be able to do that. The best part was, it actually reveals true incidents of the process, especially when he was sued by a pair of twins who allegedly claimed that he stole their idea to begin with. This revelation intrigued me further after the show and I became a big fan of Mark Zuckerberg thereafter, though it might not be the most natural reaction you will expect from a person who just finished catching the movie. My very good friend ended up having the intent of boycotting Facebook thereafter.
Like what the web has been telling you, it's true that the show does not put Mark in a good light especially since his character was portrayed to be arrogant, heartless and scheming albeit brillant, confident and intellectually stimulating. But at the end of the day, you have to admit, to create Facebook all by yourself (with or without an idea to start off) is a formidable achievement and godly task to begin with. The idea in itself sounds so magical that it's virtually almost humanly impossible to execute. Yet, someone like this exists and changes our lives forever. Now, Facebook has become a social network, corporate pest and a tool of crime. Can't you see, it has become such a integral part of our lives that you wouldn't believe a twenty year old created it in his dorm!
That aside, you should really catch the movie, because the clever storyline entices you to stay glued by bringing in amazing and another brillant person - Sean Parker, the co-founder of Napster to add flavour to the script. Bring two absolute, high leveled geeks together and what do you get? Strings of bombastically techie dialogues that you probably wouldn't understand.
Conclusively, I love the show. It's true, intriguing, thought provoking and most of all, it's about Facebook - the billion dollar school project that all of us didn't think of first.

Sorry for the absence, I hope y'all didn't miss me too much. The reason why I haven't been around is because I have been busy with a certain person and most recently, it has gotten me down in the dumps.
Let me tell you what happened. I have a handful of gay friends. I suppose my bitchiness attracts them (not to say they're all bitchy, but..) and vice versa. In short, I'm just very open and fun, and I like open and fun people as well. This probably has to do with my cousin, who opened me to the world of homosexuals, what with himself being gay.
So, my cousin, let's call him B. I love B to bits. He's not the stereotypical kind of gay men you'd see on TV, those flamboyant fashionable effeminate types, like Stanford aka Carrie Bradshaw's bitch.
My cousin has zero fashion sense, super stingy, funny and sarcastic, sometimes flamboyant but not always, domineering because he thinks he's always right, to an extent where i would even sometimes call him a chauvinist. Sounds like a straight man, doesn't he? I really wouldn't even know he was gay, if he hadn't told me himself, and I met his partner.
I always thought that if B and I weren't related, I would just fall in love with him and we'd have babies together. I love him so. He's so sweet. Although he may be stingy with his money, when he knows I am hungry, he would drive to the nearest decent restaurant and buy me good food. If I were shopping, he'd complain about all the walk he has to do with me, but if I didn't have enough cash with me, he'd flash his card.
His choice of clothes may make him look like a sore thumb, but he totally owns it, like how the geek look is now suddenly fashionable (*pooi*), plus he's super confident. He would snap at me when I complain about sore feet because I wore heels all day, saying it's my own foolish choice. Next thing I know, he'd come back from god knows where with a pair of pretty pumps for my tired feet.
I LOVE B!
But he is gay. And we are related. DOUBLE FML TTM!
Anyway, recently I met a really nice guy, let's call him M. M is possible my favourite XY chromosome species, after B. He's subtly sweet and considerate, thoughtful and kind, he can be sarcastic like a bitch but has his weird male sense of humour. Basically he floats my boat.
We have spent a lot of time together and recently, I realized that I'd think about him in my free time. I must like him a lot. And he texts and calls me all the time, asking where I was, so I'm really digging it coz mama likes the attention.
Well, just as I thought things were progressing, and as you probably would have already guessed, he tells me he is gay.
FML FML FML FML FML!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is super shit, because I could not believe that my gaydar did not work!!! I can smell homosexuals 10 feet away, but my gaydar is totally useless with M. I kind of noticed that he didn't check out girls like a normal straight guy would, but I couldn't tell either if he was into men. I told myself that he might just be asexual, but homosexual??
My life is cursed.

Birthdays.
That's the special day we were born on. No doubt someone else might share the same birthday with you, but who cares about "someone else"? It's your day anyway... Yes, I like birthdays, no it's not the presents. Ok fine. Presents are good. I admit, but it's not just that. Don't you think that that day has a strange magical power over your mood on that day? It's like nothing can stand in your way. You're invincible. Superman~~ whoo whoo~~
ANYWAYS. Do you believe in horoscopes? Cos if you do, you'd realise that the day that you were born also kinda sorta defines your character. It's interesting really how horoscopes are kinda accurate about a person. No, I'm not talking about the kind that gives you a daily update about how your day is going to be. I think those are just screwed up. I mean seriously, you read those things, and subconsciously, you'll start acting in a certain manner, and any itsy bitsy detail that you notice on that day will most certainly be linked to sth you read about your day.
Ya ya. now you'll tell me that hello? Isn't it the same when you're talking about a person's character? Just go observe your friends then. It's funny how uncanny it is. REALLY!!

You can have a good friend who relentlessly questions on your pessimism only to realize how supportive you can get the minute she feels insecure and becomes weak-minded.
Only like minded souls can relate; if you haven't experienced weakness, you wouldn't know how to comfort another.
Given two very different personalities, the best time of true heart to heart bonding comes best during sharing of woes.
The stronger personality will turn soft and sensitive enough not to hurt the weak hearted while the one with lower self esteem naturally gets a lot of acceptance and assurance from the other party.
So when you find yourself trapped in an environment full of strong personalities, never fret. Because one day they will melt and you can easily scoop them into your palms -marking the end of narcissistic bullies and your claim to reign.

When talking about restaurants, what's the first thing that appears inside your handsome/pretty head? The food and drinks/type of cusine/ ambience/price/service right? none of the above? Too bad!
Ever thought of having a different table cloth from the next table? Ordering from the table itself? Orders sliding down from rail and stop at your table? A robot serving you? Eating food cooked using magnetic fields?! Looking at menu(with customer review!) using an ipad? COOL RIGHT!!! wah. i sounds like a salesperson here. -.- All the things i mentioned are happening right now over the other side of earth! Read this article - Nine Restaurants Sent Back From the Future to Destroy Us (With Good Eats) from Gizmodo to find out more! I find it quite interesting so decided to share with all of you! :D
If you are too lazy to click that link, below are some photos of the "future" restaurants"!

I am not going to classify this habit of mine a bad one, at least not yet. I actually really like staying up and awake at nights. When I am awake at those unearthly hours, there is usually not much external distraction. The air is cooler, so the weather will not be unbearably hot which will make me sweat. There is no random passerby/friend to interrupt my thought processes. The surroundings also seem more at peace than during the day, perhaps because things seem more still. The feeling is a bit like having the whole room or space to myself, and even the time seems to move a little slower (but actually, the contrary is true). I get to sing my favourite songs without feeling embarrassed. I get to sit in unglam positions, but nobody will notice. And most importantly, if I have the momentum, I can really accomplish several tasks in one night. So basically, you get a lot of freedom and very little distraction when you are awake and working at night.
But then again, to many others, such a body clock sounds totally absurd. And I have to agree to a certain extent. On some nights, I unknowingly stayed awake all the way to morning before falling asleep. Before I know it, by the time I wake up, it is near dinner time! It’s like I have wasted one whole day. Even though I know I will be awake late at night, there is less time to go out, to meet friends, to play, to chit-chat, to eat proper meals, etc. Furthermore, sometimes I feel lethargic and the whole night goes wasted. Recently, because of a prolonged period of late-night sleeping, I get tired at 12 midnight, doze off and then wake up again after one or two hours in the middle of the night. The next sleeping timing for me will be 9am in the morning. Isn’t that screwed up or what?
Well... I have been having this sleeping habit since about 4 years ago; it is really hard to change. My only worry is whether I am able to convert back to a normal sleeping routine when I find a job in the future. For now, I am still happy about my sleeping timings, as long as I do not damage my body in any way. =)
HAPPY SUNDAY PEOPLE! :D
Lyrics:
My head is stuck in the clouds
She begs me to come down
Says "Boy quit foolin' around"
I told her "I love the view from up here
The warm sun and wind in my ear
We'll watch the world from above
As it turns to the rhythm of love"
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the Music low and sway to the rhythm of love
My heart beats like a drum
A guitar string to the strum
A beautiful song to be sung
She's got blue eyes deep like the sea
That roll back when she's laughing at me
She rises up like the tide
The moment her lips meet mine
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the Music low and sway to the rhythm of love
When the moon is low
We can dance in slow motion
And all your tears will subside
All your tears will dry
And long after I've gone
You'll still be humming along
And I will keep you in my mind
The way you make love so fine
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the music low and sway to the rhythm of love
<3 The Chiobu
