Kids Nowadays May 3, 2008

At the Bukit Merah library trying to get some work done. For a change of environment.

There are emo kids lining the benches. They have laptops and PSPs and striped sweaters and an attitude.

Revising maths:

“Use the cosine rule lah you fucker.”

“Fuck you.”

“Suck my dick.”

It’s amazing how studious they are. I have never, in my extremely faulty memory, studied anything of my own accord more than a day before the exam.

“Eh 15 minutes more lah, then we go.”

“Fuck you, I haven’t finished my algebra lah.”

Ah, the unimaginatively trash-mouthed worker bees of tomorrow.

Birthday Cake Requests April 13, 2008

Yeah, so I’ve been tasked to bake someone’s birthday cake. Stress! At least i should be grateful that no one screamed “for the love of God! Buy the damned cake please!” Just hope I don’t kill anyone!

Options given are:

• green tea neopolitana (wazzat?)
• choco banana
• blackforest
• mango fresh cream
• baked cheese (like, cheesecake?)
• tiramisu

Tokyo December 20, 2007

I am enjoying Tokyo. If not for That Certain Condition, I’d be flat out from snow fun in Nagano. So it’s good to be staying in one place for the rest of the week. Even so, I’ve hardly had time to think, what with the pain, the extensive map-reading etc. Just realised that I’ve eaten an average of only one full meal a day, so consumed am I with exploring this city.

Still… am enjoying Tokyo. Not just the sights and sounds and average daily temperature of 9°C. The vast language barrier means that I have space to think and be alone.

Advocate June 11, 2007

A week of handholding clients through their deal.

It just struck me how comforting an advocate/a parakletos is. Someone to speak in court on your behalf. Someone who knows the laws, who defends you, who protects you. Someone who’ll get you off the hook (noose?) on the death penalty.

Thank you God for your Spirit, our parakletos. Thank you God for your Son, our defence.

Foie Gras Guilt February 28, 2007

No more.

Not, I think, that there was much to begin with.

Note to self: one benefit of marriage - can read all the Men’s Vogue and Men’s Health I want. Hopefully without paying for them.

Vox January 28, 2007

Oh, I rediscovered my Vox space.

Ok, ok, I know what I said in my first post. Will prance around those grounds for a while. But will definitely be back. If I remember.

When I was a young boy, my father took me into the city, to see a marching band. He said, “Son, when you grow up, will you be the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned?” He said, “Will you defeat them, your demons and all the non-believers, the plans that they have made? Because one day, I leave you, a phantom to lead you in the summer, to join the black parade.”
