无题诗 by 李商隐

昨夜星辰昨夜风,画楼西畔桂堂东。
身无彩风双飞翼,心有灵犀一点通。
隔座送钩春酒暖,分曹射覆蜡灯红。
啜余听鼓应官去,走马兰台类转蓬。

shame on you PQ

had a huge row with dad last night over some stupid thing like.. the SCV digital cable box! what the F?!

stupid cable box cannot be powered up and for some quirk reasons, he thinks i'm responsible for it.

the entire drama/saga could have been avoided if i had just freaking kept quiet and stop answering back to him every single time he tried to open his mouth. unfortunately for him that i had to be so 'eloquent' (only for the wrong reasons)...i absolutely crushed daddy's chances of winning the 'debate'. boh bian, as my screen name suggests...i am qixSALIVA wat...always saliva more than tea!

PQ...PQ...can you just shut your fucking mouth up the next time?!

why can't you just be daddy's girl? give in to him! afterall he has already given you the best he can right? at age 24, you're still a taker and not a contributor. how dare you bite the hand that feeds you? you deserve one tight slap on your shameless face!

finally: to avoid drama/saga episode 2...i scrambled out of the house on my cycle and didn't come back until 7am in the morning.

what a wimp.

PLS GIVE ME AN A!...although i am totally undeserving...

world full of devils

that's it man. i am convinced that this world is full of devils.
at least for sure, the internet is full of devils! (casinos also)

everytime...every single time, when it comes to the examination period...something on the internet is bound to make me lose focus.

last semester...i was hooked on youtube. i watched Hard Gay throughout the night when i was supposed to be crunching numbers on the calculator and memorising my theories.

this semester...pacman!

and it doesn't help to have devilish friends who kept asking me out despite knowing that i have a paper on friday!

PQ U MUST FOCUS!

quote "focus is one of the top 5 critical success factor!"

sigh.

Frontline

U ABSOLUTELY NEED TO CHECK THIS OUT

Frontline is a New Zealand hip hop music group formed by Nick Maclaren and David Dallas. Nick does the music and David is the rapper. Frontline recently won a music award in NZ and the following link is a really cool video of them at the awards.

David performing 'Lost in Translation' with Aaradhna in this video.

the coolest thing is; David Dallas is the younger brother of my bro-in-law! so you can say that David is my brother-in-law lah...

i hope they are making plans to hit Asia!

globalisation

globalisation, not in business terms but rather, socially, it has affected me. more and more friends and family have left, planning to leave Singapore or have left and came back...

called XX the other night. wanted to know how's she coping with life in Beijing so far. it seems like she's happy to be there with Kinbo, her Chinese boyfriend. but i also sensed that she has not totallly eliminated living in Singapore as an option. i know she might want to come back...but serious considerations have to be made, especially since it is not going to be easy for Kinbo to stay in Singapore, and to get a job.

i seriously admire XX's courage, her decision to give up her potential bright future, her comfortable and protected life, her family and friends here in Singapore. she flew off in a jet plane alone and ventured into the unknown lands of Great China in pursuit of true love. (against her parent's wishes too)

i'm sure life is not easy there. a foreign person in a foriegn country. all the cultural shocks and environmental changes...work, people, relationships...it all adds up. and it doesn't help that her family is not providing her with much mental support. after studying so hard in Switzerland to obtain her degree, she is made for bigger things in life. but instead, she chose to be with the man she loves.
