How did you know I didn't...?

After getting a PlayStation 3 game from my regular supplier yesterday, and on the verge of leaving the shop, Jane advised me to spend less time on books and go find myself a girlfriend. She knew that I just bought quite a lot of books from Kinokuniya recently and has also observed that I am holding onto my half read book 'The Tipping Point' while I was browsing the shelves for games...
Zzz...
A visibly subdued me walked out quietly before shooting back a question, 'How did you know I didn't have one [girlfriend]?' BLEAH
Of course I know that my last ditch attempt to cast any doubt on her mind is bound to fail because on more than one Sunday, I turned up at her shop and confessing that I am bored and am in need of new games to fill in the gap.
Although I didn't think of explaining myself although I did tried my best, some things just can't be forced. Anyway, I am light-hearted. In fact, I was chuckling to myself as my footsteps led me further and further away from this shop which I so favored.
Believed it or not, I actually prayed for this shop to proper do that they can bless all of us gamers with an honest dealer providing good customer service and games at fair and competitive prices.
I got a feeling I am going to come back soon to restock. =)

How I wish the trip will last longer...

While on the train to meet up with a few friends in town in the evening just now, I chanced to sit beside a pretty young lady who reminds me very much of Kanny Theng (a local actress).
How I wish I don't have to alight so fast :( although the trip from Clementi to Raffles Place isn't exactly a very short trip... -.-"

Emergency

While working with a colleague in his office cubicle just now, we overheard another staff from the adjacent cubicle talking over the phone about an injured bird which has crashed landed on a school and is being surrounded by many onlooking schoolboys.
The 2 of us failed to snifle our sniggle.:@
After a good laugh, I offer the suggestion to deploy a few cats to casevac the bird (i.e. casualty evacuation).
I am sure these cats will do a good job.

FIVE RULES FOR MEN TO FOLLOW TO A HAPPY LIFE (Just for Laughs)

1. It's important to have a woman, who helps at home, who cooks from time to time, cleans up and has a job.
2. It's important to have a woman, who can make you laugh.
3. It's important to have a woman, who you can trust and who doesn't lie to you.
4. It's important to have a woman, who is good in bed and who likes to be with you.
5. It's very, very important that these four women do not know each other.

For the Fourth Time...

After watching Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen for 4 times in the cinema, I am surprised that I am still not tired of it... =)
Although we can take a look at the movie plot from a variety of angles, I have come to appreciate a more subtle theme in it - adulthood.
As Sam Witwicky started out in Transformers (the first installment) as a young boy thrusted into the midst of a civil war of more advanced robotic organisms, his main concerns was a hot college girl and his runaway car. Yet towards the end of the first movie, we see a more mature Sam, willing to risk his life for his heroic Autobot allies, putting him on par with the Autobots in courage.
In Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, we see a Sam who wants to be normal as he deems the robotic civil war has ended with the death of Megatron. Yet, when new threats came, he was thrwon right into the middle of the conflict once more.
However, he was not condemned by his Autobot allies into joining them; its the sacrifice of Optimus Prime, altruistic leader of the Autobots, in the attempt to protect Sam that put a sense of deep conviction into Sam's heart, that he must revive Optimus.
(Sidetrack: This reminds me of a conversation I have had with a friend on non transformers related matters. As my friend of mine put it, 'God don't use condemnation to change us; He uses conviction to steer us to the right course and throughout the process, we retained the choice to act upon that conviction (for our own good) or ignore it.')
In a race against time and with the help of trusted and unlikely allies alike, Sam's efforts at reviving Optimus at the expense of his own life, succeeded in executing the rescue plan installed by the Dynasty of Primes, an ancient race of superior robotic organisms who predated the Transformers who are embroiled in the current civil war. He not only survived miraculously to revive Optimus, but in the process, has fought with dedication and courage befitting of a leader.
His taking charge of the situation when a cowardly companion Leo is losing it, and his convincing of his father to let him go and do what he needs to do reflects that of a maturing man.
From someone who is just interested in cars and girls to someone who sees the greater purpose beyond himself, and to press in with great faith even in the midst of great uncertainty, he has proved himself a worthy leader and a real man.
In each and every one of us, we are inputted the ability to recognise and respect things that are noble, virtues such as courage, integrity, wisdom, responsibility, This should be how we live our lives. As Seymour Simmons (John Turturro) exhorted Leo in Transformers 2 when confronted by the mammoth like decepticon Devastator, 'If we have to go down, we will go down like real men!'
