we singaporeans think we are the biggest in the world... we think we are damn smart. but in fact... we are just dwarves. we are nothing.. really

i finally got down to galbraith's the Affluent Society a few days ago... and i realized it all seemed so natural, as i flipped through the pages, understanding the crap... so halfway through the book i was thinking. i must be quite smart to read this kinda shit.. seriously.. so i lay down on the bed, fell asleep.. with the book at the side of my bed
today.. i was readin my bio kidney notes in the reading room when lifei popped over and asked me about mrp.. and btw, lifei is one mad china man who's wealth of economics surpasses anyone ive known ( even the teachers i know, save the cook). so i put down my notes and listened to what he had to say. he asked me : why does the price of related factors of production (to labour), like capital, given that its a substitute, causes the wage rate to fall?
having read my wages one time through... i thought this was fairly straightfoward. so i knew that the demand curve (in the industry) for labour falls because of mrp falling which ultimately causes the intersection with the supply curve to occur at a lower wage rate. therefore, workers will have to suffice with a lower wage rate. i know this is simple to him cuz he knows all this shit. den he made me realize that i havent answered the qn ... why does mrp fall?
so i thought mrp is made up of mpp and mr. and so either one has to fall. but then.. why ... and how? note that mrp is defined as the revenue obtained by employing the last unit of variable factor(which is the labour by the way).

if we are to say that capital is a complement to labour cuz they have more 'things to play with' as he aptly puts it. then its easy to explain. falling capital prices causes wages to rise by mrp theory cuz mpp rises.



now, think about it. what about if its a substitute


so he went back to his room to get some stuff and there i was doodling diagrams and i couldnt find the answer. so i began thinking that mrp... hrm... its just a theory. bound to have flaws... couldnt probably explain everything in the world could it? wow.. we've just discovered a flaw in mrp theory.. wow...

ok .. so he came back 2 mins later and told me that he was thinking about it on his way up to his room and the best he could get was to explain that mr has fallen.. i thought of that previously but couldnt come up with an explanation..
ok.. so now we have two diagrams. its the goods markets now. left hand side is the industry diagram with the dd and ss curves. right hand side is the firm diagram. given the assumptions, its a PC firm. when capital gets cheaper, the MC of production increases. which means the supply curve in the industry diagram shifts right.

aha.. then we see the increased qty of goods and a FALL in goods prices. alas, a fall in MR.

therefore mrp of labour decreases.


even the greatest of economists need to be humble cuz we never know when a maynard keynes will drop by and revolutionize the whole of history.

sometimes i get quite bored here... i'd sweep the floor or take a bath. seriously. or i'd go down to watch the boys play table tennis..
im staying here at the victoria hall also because i wanted to see how hostel life's like. for the first two day, i really felt like going home. i looked at the four walls of my room, the sad faces of the PRCs in the lift. yea.. i really thought i couldnt last a week if i had to stay somewhere like this overseas for my uni.
but as time passed.. (if 3 days is considered 'time'), i realized that life's not so bad after all. i've got to know many new peeps that i havent seen in vj before, or, have seen their faces but didnt bother to say hi, or didnt even know that at all.. so mixing around with the boarders has helped me feel more at home. well.. i did iron-ing toay! so at home.. like wow.. yea. and iron-ing's tough by the way..
the food at the hostel isnt too bad. in fact it's better than home-cooked food! haha.. though all the pple who stay there are deeply surprise that i take 2 helpings during dinner. most cant even finish one full plate. and by the looks on their faces, i can tell that their marginal disutility has been built up to a terribly intolerable level. not me though.. im enjoying me food still..
breakfast is pretty interesting. cuz i have to wake up at 7.30 just to catch it. like how dumb is that. so i caught breakfast today cuz i woke just b4 8 and rushed down to grab some sardine puffs and bread and jam and kaya and what else... after eating, just came back to sleep.. till 12..
then ky called... went to school.. then piano .. then dinner .. study.. blahhh

ok im back here. and what am i using? mosey's computer which im not supposed to touch.. funny that i start calling him names like so fuddy duddy but i dont even know him... haha. he's left 3 days ago and hasnt been back yet. which MEAns.... ..... i have the room to myself! yay!
so manchester city hasnt been doing their job by letting a lousy black heskey score .. 1 big fat stupid goal.. that costs me my 10 bucks.. but dont worry. hopefully aston villa will draw charlton today....

hey hey once again. its so nice that i have someone to talk to late in the night. by boarding rules, it says that we are to be in our room by 11 and its lights out by 12. so what the hell... im still awake and my room light is shining like the lighthouse in the stormy seas of victoria. so the school opposite is kinda gloomy.. not really a good view here from my window. though not too bad either. there are yellow street lamps below... a couple of cars.
but all is silent, save the spinning fan above my head.

im 'illicitly' using moses the divider's computer now. he's not here tonight, so i have the room to myself. no msn... sigh.. and the internet is kinda ... no VERY slow. yes slow like hell... takes ages to sign onto blogger and log in. now i must say that moses is a very neat boy.. because his room is very clean for a boy.. wait till i get hold of a mop or some cloth. can touch up those dusty spots..
so whats up today? i had a public mugging session with the sons of Mao. yes and the daughters of suharto..
nah.. no girls.. just guys and more guys gaying around in the study room. quite a nice place though. the air in the room is so disinfected that when i yawn, i feel like the atmosphere has chlorinated and distilled my mouth at that instant.. strange. the girls have their own facilities in the next block. sadly, no pretty girls ive seen yet. what do i expect?

now, some dumb Vs shit is playing marbles above my room. Now what the hell.. who can be playing em at this sorta time. satanic looney shit.. then again.. it cant be..
*looks up*

its the fan... funny noises..
yawn..
i think im tired..
yes nonsense.. crap..
ok get lost .. good bye
good night

hello blog. i have finally moved into the victoria hostel and boy am i soaking the spirits. there is great diversity in this place, multiculturally iridiscent, colourful and joyful. my roommate is moses the divider . ok .. he says he doesnt really stay at the place.. only for convenience purposes. which means i have the room mainly for myself . yay!... well, the room is slightly dirty. dusty i mean. other than that, its quite nice, albeit a little small actually. a nice little lamp, a comfy little bed, some drawers.. blahhh

ok . so im here in school now. finished my gp paper in the morning. hopefully i'll do well and get an A, which isnt really possible actually. then again, nothing is impossible. so i rushed back to the hostel to settle the admin stuff , pack my room and get my damn cip card. yes.. my cip card which boasts zillions of charitable hours...

there's gonna be dinner at 6pm later. probably get an economics book at the library before heading back.

im eating oreos now.
the makers of oreos are quite stupid. i always pool out oreos that have a dark brown biscuit in the middle sandwiched by two thin pieces of white sticky stuff. now tell me, how can anyone eat oreos this way without getting their hands dirty.
the thing is that the gummy white shit does not stick to the biscuit. why dont the makers just sell oreos as a big square chunk of biscuit, and add a small container of white shit with the package. maybe include a spoon so dumb buyers can scoop up the paste, take a bite off the large square biscuit, and dunk the whole shit into his mouth...

ok .. so i went to the vs hostel for inspection. there werent inconspicuous characters lurking at the corners nor were there explosives tied to the back of dustbins. so all was fine. but the general feeling of the hostel is that the air is thin.. and i mean thin.... lifeless... dead. like many a lost souls have perished in this captivity. and their bones have crumbled from the lack of sunlight, and their spirits remain in the halls... so the the atmosphere was macabre. also a feeling of seclusion, like hermits meditating in the moutains. but then again, im going to seek enlightenment. so the mood seems right.. just right to learn The Way, and follow the dharma.

my mom told me its quite expensive.. i could actually get a condo for around 1200 a month.. probably share with 2 other friends. then the cost would be just the same. even cheaper. but that doesnt matter now. cuz i really want to try out the place. i think i'll just stay till after the prelims. then i'll move to gramps place in joochiat. they have a room there and its quite quiet also, save the barking of stray cats and howling of crickets in the estate. quite a rural area..
anyway. if i stay in the hostel, i can achieve trans-national relationships. i can mix with philipinos, indonesians, chinese, malaysian. then i can call myself a diversified person that can add to the diversity of MIT. now.. mit has no reason to reject me. maybe i can go China on holiday at the end of the year and stay with me fellow hostel inmates there. those PRC scholars.

now now.. i tend to go jumping ahead in time again. im the sort of guy singaporeans should all aspire to be. Forward looking.
there's piano lesson tomorrow. i am not really proud to report to ms buni that i didnt perform too well on the examination day. but then again, cause and effect. i didnt do well because i wasnt willing to change my technique and take all the advise. so i now its time for me to change and start learning all again. i can take my diploma next yr or next next yr. yay!

those sticky oreos. damn .. i just finished an entire roll of em.. ughhh

hello.. im feeling quite happy today..
what did i do today... went to school, went for gp!, a couple of periods then i left school, had lunch and then more lunch or tea, went to niang's house, went to study at mac...and then i saw my dear junior kaiwen there too. junior, well not any more.. so we sat together, had more tea, dinner...

im shifting over to vs hostel very soon. and then i will be lost from civilization in a world of mugging, with simple entertainment like soccer with China students...timeless days and nights, and then more studying... and weekend soccer matches? hrm... maybe can pop over at guang's house with a Pools slip that will bring windfalls. actually i wont be lost from civilisation actually.. i guess i will be sick of hostel food very soon. i told jane that im going to pack my maid in a suitcase with me so i didnt have to suffer with cup noodles. and she said im too much a singaporean kid. so i told her im going to be the singaporean man next yr defending our nation.
yeah.. defending our nation by carrying folders with saddam hussein's face on top and typing the articles into computers.

then i will head to parkway often.. and meet up with friends and chat around...

and then the clock strikes 7.59 and i have to sprint back to the castle like Cinderella or my boobs would turn into pumpkins. the curfew is 8 from mon to thurs, 10 on fri and 11 on sat.. hrm.. not too sure about sunday... i heard they let dogs around the area so that pple cant dig holes under the fences to crawl in.

actually, i can be the pianist when i get there. not that i'll grow a long beard and lotsa hair... there's gonna be a piano room.... or i can practise my piano in vj..
and i could bring chalks and count the days on my wall..
or i could practise throwing pebbles through screw yew hui's window every night at 1am.

hi.. bought myself a little hope for the chelsea manutd match. hope they draw later.
today's a very breezy day... the weather's nice and cool and it started drizzling from the afternoon onwards.. quite a melancholic weather for all those moody souls out there. made me kinda sleepy too..

so i went out.
cut my hair.. and as the tv at the saloon was playing 'a kindred spirit', and those mandarin exchanges, and the muttering in the background, and the snips of the scissors, and the droplets of rain outside... i was soon drifting away........

then i woke up and i realized the dumb women cut me an army hairstyle again. i thought i wanted to look shaggy... haaa

next week's the last week of school. finally. then we're off with the prelims. and then we're off with prelims finished. then we're off with As. then we're off with As finished and then.. and then, and then.. i dont know..

hi there. im back from some proselytizing.. nono.. back from some BEING proselytized.. ok so i went to nanyang poly early in the morning for the economics society of singapore talk which as usual was about globalisation and its discontents... and some airlines, some bits of the singapore economy. then went to suntec with camy jason steph for some horror-cum-comedy session of christians drama show. ok it was supposed to be a magic show. but the magician,who so happened to be the pastor, was really half past six and so he looked really funny trying to be david copperfield LEvIAting objects like a little school girl. and the girl nearly fell onto the floor.. so when the girl was trying to get on to the elevated platform, she had first to lie down and lift her legs up.. so as she lifted her legs and nearly zhao geng.. this joker of a pastor rushed in and said, "I'll cover it".. now what the heck??? ahah.. i was laughing my balls away..
i think its really really more scary to be leviated by magicians who do not pass their basic potter skills as compared to getting sawed in half by david copperfield, or made invisible by david blaine. cuz in the end, you're sure to know that you will be safe and sound. as such, i quote my dear friend mr chen.. 'All well ends well'

ok so im back home now.. was looking at the vj website . and the picture of felicia chin at the locker.. wow must i say is she damn chio..

Dear ole' blogg,

this is deja vu. its the 3 plus hour again and im here blogging yet again.
today was a very short day cuz i went to school only for 2 periods of chem tests. so i wanted to stay in school to study for an hour or two, but i decided to come home practice my piano..
i ended up reading the methodology of economics till like 8pm? the book is quite a cock book cuz it is simply too cheam for the untrained mind that loses concentration easily. it is so full of its own set of jargons and philosophical shit that no one would bother reading. it is a book of tall crap. but i like this kinda tall crap. and it makes sense the longer you read it. then i changed to the john kay's book about the truth of markets, which was quite boring cuz it was not really economics...
then i had dinner and then i started to practise my piano till i thought it was an inconsiderate time (neighbours!) to continue practising. then i went to read up on dumb stupid aural which i always flop. i think im going to fail aural tomorrow , but what the hell.. heck
then i went to listen to some music and put my aural knowledge to good use, which wasnt really useful afterall... so i just listened to music on and over again. i listened out for all the phrasings, how they beautifully end the phrases, the articulation and breathing, and i listened to the first 4 bars of my Beethoven piece over and over again. cuz when i play, its just like a sudden gust, and you're on your way whether you're ready or not. and the thing is that im seldom ready. and the piece just moves on without a backbone, a firm pulse, a soul... so i was sitting there, pausing, and playback for zillions of times trying to get the sound into my head. so i can just subconciously do it tomorrow. its really funny, but i kinda feel a world of difference when i know im playing using my head, or just rambling on through the piece.

and now.. its 4 already.
and im slurping some disgusting noodles which is so wet and yucky
im not going to school tomorrow cuz its 4 already. and i couldnt do with less than 3 hours of sleep. so i told ms ding that i wont be going school already (though my piano exam is in the afternoon).. she messaged me the other day to tell me tt im missing lessons lately because of absenteeism(like duh.. i dont know that) , and told me to start doing me maths tutorials. but the sad thing is that im still at DE II. which is light years behind. so i used to think that maths tutorials were important.. but my viewpoint has changed cuz these dumb ole' vj maths tuts are all indirect repetitions of each other. so ill just start doing all the maths past yr papers when i finish studying my econs syllabus. dont think i'll have time for the tuts.

sonia told me that im like a prime minister today. she said tt i just come to school at funny hours or not turn up at all..well, im in the Lee Hsien Long league you see. and if you want to join me, go:

http://premiership.fantasysports.yahoo.com/ , ID 13092 and join the league (password: pmgoh)

actually, i like to go to school la. just tt i always cant wake up. when i go to LSE or Chicago uni, i'll go to school everyday without fail. cuz education will be like a luxury good given the price it commands. and being a typical conspicuous consumer like me, id go to school.

lalalaaaa
its friday today. and its Muifong's and Jane's Birthday!
wooohooo... yet more birthdayss..though i wont be around in school to see either of em'
i'll be scrutinizing some stupid map in bukit timah

hiii.. its 3am now and i cant sleep. what to do. cuz i woke up 7pm today. a rather fine weather today. so i roused many a times in the afternoon but fell back asleep and woke officially at 7. ive decided that im going to school today (which is wednesday by the way). i should be going to school right, even if i dont intend to go for lessons. thats the general rule. boys and girls need to be in school at school time. they shouldnt be off at arcades or pool centres when theres lessons proper. so... im finally off to school again for another 7 more days before my JC schooling comes to a close. (not really actually, still need to go to school after prelims to collect my good results. yay!.. haha)
so i was off at the airport yesterday with ky and guang. and it would be last time going there for some time. i think that is good cuz my marginal disutility for studying at airports is building up steadily. so i should be studying at some better utility contributing place. maybe parkway or some library..
i just realized why i dont study at home, a couple of hours ago. i cant study at home because of noise. and that is not just pure noise, but horrible terribly skin-peeling noise and disturbance. that is my sister playing the piano. let me tell you something that troubles me for years. why dont i talk to my sister? well, talk as in a good ole' conversation between me brothers and sisters. not talk as in.. oei, stop playing the piano, or, oei... off the light.
because she really cant play the piano. and it is really terrible to hear a noise coming out of the piano. the dear ole' piano. i wrote a stupid Chinese essay on why i love my piano in year one, and DISREGARDING the fact that i do not have a supreme command of chinese, and hence unable to express myself as well as i intended to, and hence not scoring good marks for an essay that i thought would have been the epitome of half of my musical soul poured out. so i still think im quite a musical boy. and i can tell you that i am a very passionate boy about the piano. because the piano is something that has followed me by since i could remember. i had dumb hobbies like keeping birds, well not really, keeping just A bird, or turtles.. but no... my piano has stayed with me all these years. so i really really cannot take it when someone pollutes the world with horribly strung chords and awkward dissonances. so i would close my door and listen to some music.. like always., id listen to the nice old camomile cd.. and pretend i couldnt hear a thing and do my own stuff. but the truth is that i cannot ignore this disturbing externality. sometimes i will tell myself that not everyone is perfect and that i myself cant play the piano to perfection. but then again, i cannot hide my contempt for this earth-wrecking displeasure that has been running in my veins like a semi-malignant virus for the past decade. music is pleasing to the ear. i know what is music when i hear it. my ears are sensitive. afterall, i was an MEP boy.
and the worst thing is that my sister is a mep girl too. so i am pained that she plays this way. and there is a neurotic feeling that creeps inside me everytime she plays, that fills me full of teenage angst and fury. sometimes i wonder why i want to go overseas and study. is it because i want a robbie williams escapalogy from this mess that i have to put up with...
but the fact is that my sister will continue to play the piano.
and there no way i can run away

hey hey!
i just woke up a couple of hours ago.. and i was dreaming of the hotcakes i was eating the previous day. ooo.. hot and steamy.
so ive finally turned nocturnal. i think this week is gonna be a long week. i am taking my piano exam damn it. and i cant play well for nuts. thats pretty bad. the last day of the week and im going down to this funny studio and who-knows-where to end my carreer as a musician. well not really end, i am still thinking if im gonna stop playing temporarily. then again, i used to think i was Beethoven at a point of time.. craps.. a point of time a decade ago.
oh how i loathed playing because piano lessons were on sunday mornings and sunday mornings should have been fun for young primary school boys then. so piano wasnt my favourite, but i still thought i was Beethoven.

now ten years later , i look at Dean and i see myself ten years ago. just that i wasnt that brilliant at that age. he's grade 5 already. still cant believe tt he's so good. my dear ole' brother

its three plus now. im going to merv's house later. (HEy happy birthday you fat bastard. hope you dont bald too soon.) but im waiting for the dumb rong to come to my house first cuz he doesnt know how to go. sian..
charity shield tonight.
im going to the airport aftert tt to study for my As.. haa

good morning singapore! what a good day it is. the birds are humping and the panda bears are screwing on the floor.
so i went to school today for my cameo appearance. and then ms ding kaopei me straight away when she saw my face. i was about to go into the sprained leg story, but the austere look on her face told me tt she knew all my tricks. so i just said i was kinda a tired these days, prob a little unwell.. unwell. like the song...
all day, staring at the ceiling making friends with shadows on my wall.
all night....

ok so i was soaking up in the national day spirits at school cuz i couldnt probably soak em at home. maybe soaking only in the bath tub. yea soaking. not chillin'. and i thought it was quite ok cuz deepak was making silly jokes on the stage. then i went for the shortest econs S ever. cuz its national day, and the cook's obviously soaked up some of the mood too, maybe the buckingham mood. so it didnt last too long.. a little about philosophical economics that goes wham bam.. cheam stuff. but straight away, i knew i was gonna write that kinda shit in essays. so i borrowed the methodology of economics book from merv to get myself started.

then i went home and blah blah ..
went to meet ed and merv and later some other of those shits. caught the notebook first. i thought it was quite an ok show . but, it has quite a simple story line.

might be going to school tomorrow to check out the US universities tt's from 11-5
lets see bout it. im gonna wake up at 2

yes its two am, but the rain isnt falling. with herculean efforts, i have completed the beautiful teacher evaluation form once again. cuz the deadline is 5th of August. and what day is it today. oh.. it so happens to be the 5th. which means im not really a conscientious boy. cuz i always wait for the impending threat of deadlines to harrass me. its like an innate desire to relax and take it easy.. so cut the crap. heres my the schools

LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF LONDON
UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
CORNELL UNIVERSITY
MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA-BERKELY
YALE UNIVERSITY
NEW YORK UNIVERSITY

i filled up all the 8 choices. and what courses have i chosen? all economics. the Unis should be touched that i am so committed to the dismal science.

so today was a quick day. i didnt go to school. i couldnt wake up. and i have decided not to go to school anymore. maybe till prelims. so guys... have fun at school and ROT your balls away! As we approach this final quarter of the year, poor students from JCs are all scrambling to get their 4As at A level. i have a different aim.
its the 4As at prelims. yes.. then all will be a breeze later
i went for piano lessons today, and it was the best lesson i had for months because 1) she scolded me to the minimal , 2) she even praised me. ohh.. i feel so happy, like on cloud nine drifting away in the breeze.

im gonna meet mr heng tomorrow.
betta go sleep now.

back home. im resting my feet from tired walks.
went to city hall to celebrate steps birthday. we went to cartel for dinner. hrm.. cartel... reminds me of oligopoly. but anyway, benny had some garden peas that was fried but which cost the same as our steak. so benny was sad with his peas and cauliflower and upset for acting posh by having a vegetarian meal. now tell me. what a cock! ha.
later, we went down to the river bank where thousands of gain-peng singaporeans were waiting. and i was trying to get onto news on channel U there. but they didnt interview me.
so the fireworks were pretty good. probably better if there werent so many kancheong singaporeans around. but that is singapore. our home, singapore, with all us kiasu singaporean trying to gain on the nonexcludable fireworks.
then we went to sit down at some cafe and so on and so forth.

sometimes i think i am Alan Greenspan.
let me tell you about my usual blogging routine. i will Ctrl-N a new screen, then type www.breakingthestatusquo.blogspot.com, then check out the nedstat shit (for the daily attendance onto me page) and look at the graphs and realize that im really like the head of the Central Bank, monitoring the performance of the American economy. so i am left to do a couple of things. whether to write a new entry (just like lowering the interest rates and waiting for the extra consumption, investments and decreased savings to raise the performance of the economy), or just to close the dumb screen and go to sleep (like using a hands-off policy to let the economy slide into a recession). so i realize that im running a mini-economy around here. lets say im a rather unconcerned government and i make half-hearted attempts to cure the economy at its trough ( just like writing in my blog "hi.. today is a nonsense day. nothing much to write. good bye!"), i realize that my handling (or possibly monetary handling), is wrong. i am in a liquidity trap! now lets take for instance that writing such an entry is like lowering the interest rates. i am increasing the money supply but the attendance to my page will not increase (interest rates, like in the Japanese economy, are 0!). so as Paul Krugman recommends for the Japanese economy, the people are going to pull through the recession by the government trying to increase their expected-inflation. therefore, making them less willing to hold onto money (because the real value will fall in time), and instead of saving, they are going to spend! which means that the act will cause idle balances to be converted to uses of consumption. which will ultimately aid the economy via the multiplier effect.
so coming back to my question. how apt is my blogging model relevant using this concept. your visiting my page is like spending the money here and not saving (which is the act of not visiting my page). so if i am going to be gung-ho and do what the Japanese did from the 1950s-70s, of pump-priming the economy and all that crony capitalism with large firms to make the economy the second biggest economic juggernaught in the world, i can probably do a few things.
like link to a couple of more friends (crony capitalism) or increasing you visitor's expected inflation (which could take the form, lets say, you missing out on my interesting economic arguments if you dont come read entries)

wow...
i hope you understand my concepts cuz i kinda like Krugman's flair and his usage of micro economic models to explain macro problems.

i went for a talk today. i went for a talk to learn something. wanting to learn something, i went for a talk. similarly, we come to two hypothetical statements. inflation is caused by X and Y. X and Y can cause inflation. they're two different things! i dont think you get it. but ... nvm, you get the rough idea.

I gave my mama the DiSC personality test to do. and i wanted to force Dean to do it. but he gave up halfway. so i sent him a bomb which exploded in his face. waste of my time. my mama got an IS, which means a people oriented person. and she became quite cocky about it and went on and on. i am and influential and domineering boy. and these are good characteristics. great stuff

so back at the dumb ole' lecture hall at suntec. no.. i mean outside. i was asking the army boys a rather stupid but relevant question.
"i am pes C. can i get an army scholarship?"

and the dumb fuck looked at mean in disdain and it took him quite awhile to digest my simple words. and he said "dont think so" in my big fat face. so i was left sad and disappointed as usual. it is sad that lesser beings are going to fill up these places just like how rolls of sad sardines fill up in a can of -- yes - sardines. and the lesser beings, like old match sticks are going to be placed in a matchbox, when there are bright sparks from talented lighters around. i am an egocentric boy because i am a boy with high (D)ominance within me.
then i looked at the big book of the statutory scholarship and realized that about half the page was the army scholarship. oh... that is just so sad.

i told mama that i am going to upgrade my pes again. and she said that she will disown me... because there is only one me. AwwWwww.. and with the recent trend of dead boys in jungles or heads ducked in deep waters, moms is gonna be unsettled if she thinks i find the water canteen slightly too heavy for liking halfway throught the thick forests of tekong.
so i came up with a plan.
im a do big things these two years.
i am moonlighting big time.
i am going to open a boutique shop after my A levels. (of course not under my name, cuz i wont want to be caught by the authorities) and i am going to tend to it the two years like a child. then i will reap enough supernormal profits to buy a car after this period. and i will use it for a year to spin the hot babes around (NB: cuz i have to earn the profits from the first year, which means the usage of the car will only be in the second year). then i will sell the business in the second year to some dumb ass for a tidy sum. then in the 3rd yr, i will pack my luggages and fly first class to UK (or US) for my studies. Oh.. not to forget i will 'bethroth' my trusty ole' car to my dumb ass bro before i leave.

sounds cool.
