who've you been riding in the hood with??

baby it's not what you think. say what?

a couple of drinks led to some things... uh-huh...

i'm not sure how to tell you this. wow.

this is bullshit man. think i'm done for good. i guess it's an 'easier said than done' kinda thing.

tarzan met jane one day

and jane met janet and moved away

and left tarzan with nobody, so he plays all day..

buy!

the brand new repackaged version of rent. it's all rent i swear. nothing we have is truly ours... because we never learned to buy. we buy to keep paying monthly charges...

hmm, sounds like.. rent! what to do? the whole island's one gigantic leasehold.

so yes, whatever you do, always keep enough money for yourself...

so you can die someplace warm.

tedo awas!

seriously. never knew sleeping could be so deadly. somehow messed my neck up real good whilst.. sleeping. wish i could say doing something extreme like dirt jumping. but nooo. sleeping did me in... i was incapacitated for 3 days. something was really outta place. and of all days it had to be on saturday, when the godfather is closed. so i 'endure' (lun) till sunday to join the rest of the freak show. neck's still kinda kinky.. sneezing is still really painful. reckon i'll have to work out the kinks before i fly off.. 'cos shitty joints suck in cold weather.

i'm guessing this episode is because of the lack of exercise. don't ask me since when i became such a health freak.. but i'm thinking it's the result of too many late nights typing dissertations, which, btw, is going painfully (more painful than the neck) slow. thinking of deserting the bloody thing and perhaps start on my SS. never was a good contextualiar... hah.

arghhh i wanna hit the bike trail!! bloody neck, and sch work.

esp when i get pics like these from last week. props to yuan shuai for the pics.

eat my shorts!

and after that i hope you choke on the bad stitch-work!

ok.. that was a bit harsh. i somehow have the tendency to bite the hand that feeds. anyways, what is up with all these hang-ups/complexes/bias/whateveryourmightcallit?

why is it that when it comes to technical stuff, only guys are taken seriously?

and when you wanna buy drinks, girls get priority? free entry? and then of course there's just the plain irrational, like girls can't drive. (i know some can't. but what about the rest?)

and who on earth decreed that it be set into stone that guys gotta open doors for girls? and what about the killing of bugs/lizards/gross stuff ? (i don't have a problem with that but there seem to be a glaring lack of explanation) how is it that guys by default got first dibs in stuff like that?

why is it that we never ask these kind of questions? instead we go for the 'intellectual stuff'

what hypothesis are you trying to prove? where is the innovation?

because somethings will never be made known, to protect idiots who go around blabbing their mouths off.

actually this.

actually that. add chilli and ketchup while you're at it. but all the condiments in the world can't mask the bad taste in your mouth when you realise the fact that we praise and adore someone who is a mass-murderer. or after mitigation (if there is need for it), abets others to do terrible, unspeakable things.

ohh.. it's judgement...

well then, are we supposed to feel glad for the judgement? and sleep better at night because the survivors/victims were judged? or are we supposed to help the survivors/victims? aren't we then working against the judgement? hmm..

you don't know what you're talking about.. there are certain things that are beyond us...

um. okaay. but i'm guessing that you know wth you're talking about.. and despite certain things being beyond us, it's not beyond you eh?

it's a matter of perceptive.. (at this point, i sought clarification "what kind of perspective? 2 point? 3?" just ignored me and continued) you're focusing too much on the bad. most people like you refuse to see the good.. wow.. like i didn't know that already. in case you forget, i study that. changing people's perception. providing the 'right' 'information', so that you make the 'right' 'decision'. which is making you do what i want, whilst making you think that you made the decision all by yourself. okay. don't you see how screwed up that is? the fact that you believe in perspective is deeply troubling. it's like trying to put God in a box. you can't. and then, naturally, the best is saved for last, 'cos when you run out of ammo you start throwing the rusty relics.

young man, you can't talk like that... or even better.

that's blasphemy!

funny how people, full of their 'beliefs' and fire in their bellies (maybe because of all the add chilli here and there), get mad when we talk about this kinda stuff. end of the day, don't addchilli, ask the man himself. and he don't need defending. that's for sure.

how is it that we never discuss these kind of things? why, too controversial? will it spoil your perspective? man. i really hope you wake up your idea. and then of course that brings me to my pet peeve with hope. don't get me wrong, i think hope is a beautiful thing.

a beautifully crippling notion.

contextuaLIES

first, we have to be objective. discussing the various issues, whilst maintaining our focus on the topic. then suddenly i'm, 'saying too much', 'need to contextualise..' of course! that's why i left out most of the good stuff. why? 'cos people need to realise that the benefits do not outweigh the COST. what kind of costs? the threat to the environment(okay so you're not a tree hugger), your health(okay, so you don't plan to live long anyway), then what about your LIFE? unless you're a suicide advocate, or just an ignorant fool, it would be plain irrational to ignore these issues.

contextualies? no way man.

i'm no contextualiar..

i only wanted to begin.

my mouth writes cheques that i can't cash. i'd like to call it multi-tasking.. but it's more like multi-procastinating.

i'm beginning to suspect that i'm not a digital native... or even a digital immigrant for that matter. reckon i'm waaay of Pensky's scale. i'm probably like one of those third-world agrophobes that use digital technology grudgingly.. whilst pinning the blame for every problem with the world on the 'godless technology'.

self-study has been great so far.. considering the amount of time spent studying and analysing myself(eg. in the previous para). however, studies wise.. no real headway. of course, according to the more 'serious folks' i should stop celebrating ill-discipline and laziness. well i'm sorry if i offended you by keeping it real instead of AB-ing (acting busy). of course we should encourage people to be industrious, but wouldn't it be much better if they worked smart? think of the time, energy and raw materials saved..

anyways with self-study week already more or less halfway through.. i have already learnt a couple of things:

1. gravel applied to muddy patches will dry it out(better than digging drainage) and make it very ride-able.

2. berms (of the earth, dirt, sand variety, not the kind you wear) become uneven and eroded because idiots who don't know how to rail them, lock their brakes instead.

3. if you think you're gonna crash. you probably won't 'cos you'll slow down. needless to say, everytime you crash, it's a surprise.

4. party like a rockstar don't work when you can't drink(made esp worse when it's right in the middle of octoberfest..)

5. there's a really affectionate ash-colored cat that lives around the block.

okaay! so nothing multimedia related, not a digital native, sometimes i wonder if i'm in the right course. think the both sides of my brain need to have a meeting.

skatepark tml anyone?? wahahahahah
