SG Fairy

Today was the day we went to the Sitex fair and He, like most other men at the booth too, whipped out His hp and snapped a couple of pics of the skimpy little latex things holding up laptops with huge bimbotic smiles plastered on their heavily made-up faces.

Does that marketing strategy even work? Wouldn’t the men be too caught up in the skinny legs to even notice the laptops the girls are carrying? They’ll be too busy looking at the girls’ boobs (or lack thereof) to notice the company name sewed across it. Right?

I guess I’m just jealous. When will the day come when companies will wise up and start getting hunky men in speedos and leather suspenders walking around IT fairs waving their goods for women to oogle at? Dun the companies know they have to win the hearts of women since the ladies are the ones holding onto the purse strings? Why are the male customers the only ones getting the eye candy? I demand my fair share of half-naked male models prancing around and giving out flyers too!

And where’s my bloody girls fair? Why do boys get their ‘big boyz’ fair, and we girls dun? Why do guys get their cars, and we dun get our vibrating machines? Both give rides, right? Why do the men get females in bikinis mud-wrestling and doing pole dances and we girls dun get our sweat-coated muscle boys fighting each other, or guys in policeman uniforms doing strip dances???

“oh, please handcuff me, Officer... You know I’ve been such a naughty giirrllll!”

You are The Hierophant

Divine Wisdom. Manifestation. Explanation. Teaching.

All things relating to education, patience, help from superiors.The Hierophant is often considered to be a Guardian Angel.

The Hierophant's purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. Where the High Priestess between her two pillars deals with realms beyond this Earth, the Hierophant (or High Priest) deals with worldly problems. He is well suited to do this because he strives to create harmony and peace in the midst of a crisis. The Hierophant's only problem is that he can be stubborn and hidebound. At his best, he is wise and soothing, at his worst, he is an unbending traditionalist.

i started with my packing today... tackled my old notes, books etc.

it was something i didn't really want to do, but had to get done anyway. i finally decided to take most of my uni notes with me... mainly the PS stuff, and some other philo and business management thingy. i figured i might just need to refer to my business management notes in the future... and i kept PS notes on SEA, SG politics, international conflict etc... my rationale being that matters relating to politics in the region is something i will never be able to escape from, seeing how everything is linked to politics here... so if i write an article in the future about some market stats, i have my notes in ASEAN regional trade agreement, for example, to refer to should i need it. the philo notes... well... i like philo... might just do that for my Masters if i decide to throw reason out the window and go with my heart

of course i might just never look at the notes again... but err... i was also reluctant to throw them away, especially when i looked through them and admired my notes. i may have slacked a lot in uni, but when exam period approached, i would sit down and write pages and pages of notes, using various coloured pens for variety, to highlight certain bits, and well, just make my notes look more pretty so i wouldn't get too depressed when i have to study them.

i did throw my secondary triple science textbooks though... i sat on the floor for ages, staring at the books, trying to decide - to keep or not to keep? i'm especially proud of my bio textbook... all those notes, with flaps of paper inserted here and there with additional information. in the end, i got realistic and practical and threw them out. chances of me reading them again are very slim. also took me ages to decide on my a-level geo and lit notes.. but i'm throwing them out. so much heartache... but i figure.. sometimes, you just have to let go of the past and move on. still, i almost cried when i set my geo and lit notes aside... so drama-mama right? lol. but they are two of my most favourite subjects... and those geo notes i put together got me an A. sob sob..

oh well..

this week the paper... next week the clothes... hopefully i'll also be in a 'throwing things away' mood... coz when you're in such a mood, it's easier to just go, "oh throw, throw throw!'. otherwise you'll just end up sitting there, thinking for ages, throw or not ah?

now wouldn't it be good if you could do that with bad memories from the past?

"Mr Lee explained that the hike was necessary to finance the enhanced social safety nets, needed to help the lower income group and he emphasised that the offset package would more than counter the rise in GST. "

Ok, so we're now supposed to be an inclusive society, make sure the poor receive the help they need - though only if they'll help themselves first, we dun wanna become welfare state. We now need more money coz you all wanna have more social programs for the poor, right? So we take more money from all of you lor!

Nevermind that we could actually take just a little bit more from our GDP and use it for the people. The government now spends only 15 percent of its GDP - one of the lowest in the world.

But don't worry... the government said that it will have an offset package to help people deal with the increase in GST.

I can't wait to hear what sort of package it'll be on Budget Day, man. Another $200 Progress Package perhaps? How useful! :P:P:P

Maybe we can reclaim GST... the way tourists do it. Bring your income tax statement thingy to the counter, and we'll refund you the GST if you're poor enough.

Or perhaps, we could actually have higher income taxes for the high-income groups... you know, the many new millionaires in Singapore now?

The era of Blue America has started...

Let's hope the Democrats will not be too busy playing politics... but rather, concentrate on making things better.. otherwise, back to red!

went over to our new apartment this morning to take measurements and all that jazz.

I had always known my room was small, but somehow I didn't imagine it to be THAT small. When I stepped into my room, I was like, "wait a min, what the fuck is this, man? the room shrank or what?" Of course these were just thoughts running through my mind - I wouldn't have dared vocalise them in front of my parents.

Lesson for the day, boys and girls: perception and reality can be worlds apart... or in this case, sizes apart.

Oh Oh.... and I think this should be for just the boys: what you perceive as being big, may not really be so big in reality... lol

Ok fine.. I know, it was totally lame... so shoot me.

I'm adamant about keeping the main design bits which I had thought long and hard about... the challenge would be to work them into my room size, and freaking ugly ceiling beams-thingies. I guess I'm actually ok with room size, it's the ceiling that pisses me off.

The architect of the estate should be shot.

They have these beams that run along the portion of the room where I had wanted to put my very nice IKEA wardrobe - it's still in good condition, and I didn't wanna spend too much money, so I thought I'll bring it over to the new place. But now, coz of the beams, I can't! The alternative is to put it along another wall, for which I already had plans for... wanted to hang the paintings I had bought from Japan there.. :P

Oh well.... gahmen always talk about creativity, right? So I guess now's the time to listen to gahmen... let the creative juices flow, baby!

When you're surrounded by sickness, possibly death, it's then that you really realise how important life is. And then you promise yourself, to treat the people around you better... So one day you wun wake up regretting all the things you wished you had done for a person you cared for, to show that person that you really love her.

And I'm also pissed... How can people be so superstitious in this day and age? I almost couldn't get in again together just because I am a female born of another female in a family, and coz I'm one of the youngest... I'm supposedly bad luck... Like somehow the moment people see me, touch me, they'll catch something.. Like fuck.

I'm been tolerating it the past few days now... Keeping my smiles, coz I think, it's no point getting upset.. Some people feel more comfortable with their superstitions so I'll humor them... Nevermind that it's at my expense, and makes me ache so much... That I cannot be there by her side.

Thankfully the plants were aligned right today... :p

She's better... Greatly improved... They said it's like a miracle... And I wanted to retort back, that's coz I could finally fucking be allowed in at last to see her... I'm the ray of sunshine, you assholes.

But no, I didn't say that... Respect elders.. She taught me that... And I'm not gonna disrespect her by disrespecting them.

I hope she can get out soon... I promise I'll visit her more during the weekends... Just let the docs give the green light and declare her well.

Please.

I'm so tired... It's been a very long week... And I'm tired of holding the fort...

fuck
