Borat - Sacha Baron Cohen Golden Globe SpeechHave watched him since boarding school days as ALI G, when Borat was but a small segment in the show. Congratulations Sacha Baron Cohen! Oh and You Tube rocks, because even though I missed this last night, here it is the very next day. You all have to watch his acceptance speech, for those missed it!!! Chenqueh!

I am a fugitive of Video Ezy no more! I finally mustered up the courage and of course got my act together and decided to pay me fines. If this was, say over American History X or the entire 3 seasons of Nip Tuck it would be easy to swallow, but it was all because of Madagascar and The Experiment! However, after paying the fines, I'm inclined to not patronizing the outfit as frequently anymore.

On StrikeThat's it, my somach along with my bile duct is on strike. I think it has something to do with the copious amounts of food consumed over the last 3-4 weeks and especially the week that just passed what with the St. Julien dinner and dinner with the gang on saturday under the couple's lovely recommendation of Greenwood's 'The Grill'.

So now that it's raining please do refrain from ordering fast food which requires delivery if you can. These young boys riding in the pouring rain and sometimes speeding due to the strict time schedule they have to adhere to. Dezzo and I always feel so very sorry for them when we see them completely drenched with WET SHOES AND SOCKS (tell me, is that not a universal pet peeve or what!). So please

Thank you everyone for your birthday wishes/smses, I'm so so touched. It makes me reflect on my own behaviour, and I don't think I'm as considerate and thoughful as the friends/ex-schoolmates/ex-collegues that have actually remembered and took the effort to type out a simple message. It really makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Most of the time I can't remember birthdays, or by the time I realise

MOUTH...BADDDDDDD!! Damn damn damn. Have been making an effort to walk home from work and back from Assisi during the week and on Sunday walked 3.4km at the park. Walking is fun, walking is also less lethal than running. But walking is no good when I had Brie and crackers yesterday and 2 Roche happiness balls 5 minutes ago!!! Mouth Bad!!! Damn damn damnit.

Steph e-mailed to say she'll be visiting Spain this year and asked if there was a remote possibility of a reunion, and seeing as how we are going to London again this year for another cousin's wedding, this reunion actually seems very very possible! It's insane as I haven't seen her for 7 almost 8 years. Then Isi e-mail's to tell us her book is going to be published first half of the year and how

I always remember my collegue saying "You know you're PMSing when you watch commercials and you start to tear" . I absolutely hate it when I'm PMSing, because I can be on the bus which has mobile tv, and the news so happens to air a story involving some tragedy with crying family members, instantly the flood gates open and suddenly I'm flipping my fringe and acting all nonchalant. Or when I'm

I'm really tiredThere comes a point where one has to decide if things are truly worth fighting and spilling blood for. And once that decision has been made, there's no turning back. But how do you pick yourself up and continue the battle when there is no apparent end in sight?Being self indulgent is no good. Got to keep focused on other things.

The process of applying for post graduate medicine is a highly expensive affair.The wise saying 'Hard work pays off' is very true, but in Singapore, taking into consideration our Asian work ethics and emphasis on academia (still not as bad as Japan... yet), a more apt statement would be 'Hard work pays off if you are in the gifted programme or on the track to scholarship status'.

We welcomed the new year 10 minutes late, in an empty house, sitting on a picnic mat surrounded by candles, with bubbly, chips and a motherload of a MacDonald's delivery on the way. It was impromptu, it was rough round the edges, but it was wonderful. As I sat there amidst the glow, I was grateful that I had spent the evening warming a new house with people that I truly care about. With plans to

And just like that, it's over.Mofo and I were having a chat about Christmas and how Jesus wasn't really born on the 25th of December, and that Christmas is just another public holiday to non-Christians.

Despite the fact that I am rather poor this month, I forked out $7.90 for 5 days of a feel good thing. Of course my jaw dropped when I saw that Hydrangeas were going for about $6 a stalk and remembered that Dominic paid over a hundred for a bouquet of 6 stalks when he was going out with this chick that insisted on having hydrangeas on her birthday.

I'm slacking off a little this semeseter, I suppose it was the holday that broke my pace a little. Accelerated degrees are no joke, major exams every 3 months with unrelenting assignments in between.

There was a lookout then, and there is still one this year. They rotate shifts by the hour, 1 meerkat to keep watch for potential predators. Persistant buggers they are.

Over lunch at Voyager, the group had an animated discussion on whether we ever thought of migrating, my answer was 'Yes', without batting an eyelid. Upon reflecting on my answer, I suppose the idea of migration is tempting as always, but yes, there is family and, the handful I call friends, the few who I would miss terribly. Still, I think it's a possibility that is high on my cards. Many many

I have now in my possession, a 2nd Nigella Lawson book, FEAST. I hope to amass her entire collection eventually. Apart from being incredibly sexy, she's an amazing food writer. Her book reads like a whimsical story instead of your usual ingredient-instruction type cookbook.

An early reminder that one must toil for money .

Do any of you get the hunger hibbie Jibbieees once the clock strikes 12 midnight? I'm famished right now, and the 2 cups of tea I had at 8.30 is keeping me wide awake. At this present moment, I can only entertain thoughts of pancakes, doughnuts, roast goose... ROAST GOOSE! Here are some highly important Hong Kong pictures from almost 2 years ago.GOOSE! GOOSE! GOOSE! GOOSE! GOOSE! GOOSE! GOOSE!

I had 2 huge slices of durian cake 4 hours ago, and I just gave out a big belch filled with pungent durian goodness and it reminded me of the time I stuffed my face with durian on my birthday 4 years ago with Mofo, before proceeding to Zouk for alcohol (Durians and Alcohol. What were we thinking) and a bit of a boogey. It was hilarious because we were at member's bar (God what was I doing there

So Young! So Angry!Friends have witnessed me hurling abuse at racist Australians, telling people who cut queues off, telling people to shut up in cinemas, asking the invigilator to offer my packet of tissue to the person seated next to me in an exam hall with a nasty snorting habit, berating unhelpful and rude customer service staff, jamming the brakes on the expressway when some arsehole is

The channel offers a fantastic work arrangement, giving me time off when I need it.The only down side is that pay day isn't consistent and is the responsibility of my boss. Sometimes he forgets this responsibility, or chooses to drag his feet, hence cheques do not come in on time, and sometimes I end up staying home to avoid having to spend the last few dollars for the month.

The JourneyI was once told of the concept of the hero's journey, I shall mention that it was adopted by George Lucas in the telling of Star Wars as well as in the Matrix, and many say that Jesus also walked the path of the Hero's journey. I think in our own way, we are all on the same journey, encountering different personal situations and emotions of course, but which are ultimately metaphors

After slaving away in the kitchen for the better part of today, endeavouring to make full use of the overgrown pandan plant on the balcony, I breeched my diet regime tonight, with no less than 7 odd slices of woodfired pizza, calamari rings with huge dolops of tartar sauce and rasberry infused beer. And after all that, there were talks to go get some fried chicken wings, and talks were put into

BachelorsBachelor pads have that whole 'I am Tarzan King of the Jungle' feel to the place, usually featuring black and white quite prominantly, with one sensual colour thrown in, usually red or purple.

Over the past week, I've been reading, watching, seeing, hearing things with a common theme. IdentityThis has always been a huge factor in my life, because I am a firm believer of 'Your job, your friends, your educational level, your possesions, your social circle' does not equal to who you are, ie: it is not your identity. That's not to say that I've got it together. As much as I would like to

I have just received from the group mate, the essay I had previously sent yesterday.We have to churn out a 10 page literature review by Thursday.I had written about 7 pages and sent it over to the group mate who was supposed to fill in certain portions of the essay and write another 2 pages worth of stuff.What irks me is not the quality of the work (I was already prepared to shoulder the whole

So greedy it hurtsDo you get headaches after eating a really big meal/buffet?I know I do.For some strange reason, being overfull triggers a headache.So I decided to regurgitate my food to see if it would go away.And you know what?It did.So now you can cite headaches as an excuse for bulimia.Now, isn't that so much more fun than saying its for weight loss :p

When all this academic stuff finally blows over and things get a move on in terms of a career of sorts, I will be well into my 30's. In 4 months, it will just be 3 more years before i hit 30, and so ticks the clock.I suppose I am one of those that realised later in life that I should listen to my calling and actually roll up my sleeves and WORK for it. Because, answering one's calling isn't an

The best part about class is when I get to see that silly smile waiting for me when its over.As much as possible I get a pick up, sometimes with wheels, most times on foot.We'll have a late dinner and I get to wind down for an hour, then I'm whisked home.All this so I get home at a decent time ready for work the next day.Thank you for your support, it means so much to me.

From the Monkey's mouth: "You have to learn to burn bridges. When one goes to war, one has to burn their boats and planes once they reach their destination. Ergo, you can choose if it'll be a fight for victory or to do nothing and die, either way, there's no turning back."

At the dinner table tonight: "Tomorrow I won't be home early. I'll be having dinner with the boys after our game." He still refers to his friends as BOYS, this 59 year old man.

When you as a lecturer commit yourself to conducting a distance learning course, of which much of the materials and study aids would be posted online, you have to factor in the times when things are going to screw up and prepare yourself for questions from students that are actually DOING THEIR WORK and attempting to look at the materials you've posted up. You do not write curt e-mails along to

My father and I do not like crowds.My brother is not particularly patriotic.So when my mother announced happily that she had an extra ticket for the VIP stand for NDP tomorrow, everyone was naturally pushing each other to go with her. My brother being my brother said "NO!", and my father text-ed from the 18th hole emphasizing "I DO NOT WANT TO GO". So, that leaves...me, doesn't it?I don't think

The thing with distance learning is that your class will consist of a mish mash of working professionals and kids who have just finished A-levels or Poly. Seeing as how I am quite the hermit, I made friends with only 1 other girl last semester, which was great, because she was 27, kept to herself quite a bit and was equally serious about class. Well she has since left the course as she got a big

Screaming InfidelitiesIn this day and age, sex is just sex. The physical euphoria one gets from an orgasm through the union of bodies sure as hell supersedes that of a quiet handjob. Sex is cheap, morals have been obliterated, embrace the hedonistic sexual pleasures. Does sleeping around with random people mean that one has some deep seeded psychological scars or issues that need to be addressed?
