"Good is not the absence of bad."

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Now, if only more people knew...

Best (Or Worst) Number Plate Of All Time

Seen driving along Pangkor Road, Penang this morning.

Yesterday...

...I had a lollipop.

The end.

Cruel Irony

Why do bad boys keep getting the good girls

they don't even come close to deserving??

From gangsters to thugs, flirts to infidels – why do the nicest girls on the planet seem to keep picking guys who aren't at all good for them? WHY?! So what if he's tall, dark and handsome? So what if he's rich, loaded and rolling in cash? SO WHAT? Are looks everything? NO. Is money everything? NO. You know what's e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g? CHARACTER – that's what! And that's exactly what's severely lacking in men these days.

I know many guys who are pretty nice people to hang with when things are just platonic and friendly. Sure, I'd befriend a gangster. No problem, no judgement. I'd befriend a thug or a flirt, too. Heck, I've even got a handful of guy friends who've shared with me that they've been unfaithful lovers once, twice or even many times before. But you know what? Friendship is where it ends for me. I WOULD NEVER EVEN CONSIDER DATING ANY OF THEM.

And friend or not, I just HATE IT when I hear of partners cheating on or playing out their "better" halves with another just cos they can't keep their their pants on or their hands/lips to themselves. (OBVIOUSLY, their other halves are the BETTER people in those cases – DUH.) I really, really, really HATE it. And don't you come and don't-hate-the-playa-hate-the-game me. I HATE THE PLAYA MAXIMUM COS HE'S THE IDIOT WHO JOINED THE GAME IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Oh, and I especially don't buy that shit about alcohol-induced "accidental" cheating. Only the DUMB and DUMBER would put themselves in precarious positions that tempt fate with a test that already promises a high chance of failure. So, boy, if you cheated because you were drunk, it was cos you were DUMB enough to let yourself sit for AND FAIL the easiest faithfulness(less) test known to man. What an idiot. For cheats like these, I can't help but think: Self control? Zero. BRAIN?? ALSO ZERO. What kind of moron sets himself up to fail?? An alcohol-blaming cheater – that's who!

And by the way... when I speak of cheating, I'm not just referring to cheating in the physical sense, okay. I'm referring to ALL cheating in every way, type, manner or form. Not just when it comes to the o-b-v-i-o-u-s you've-got-to-be-blind-not-to-know things like sex, kissing, hugging or holding hands. Emotional cheating is cheating, too, you numskull.


So what if you didn't sleep with the slut? Calling her, texting her, going out with her, and/or warranting her more attention than she deserves as a FRIEND behind your partner's back is already cheating. And trust me, I'm not the only one who thinks this way. I know of many other people are of the same opinion, too – men included! And if YOU don't see it that way, there's something seriously wrong and screwed up with your moral compass.

Anyway, I may sound pissed as hell in this post and I can assure you that I actually am cos I happen to think that it's so unfair how so many – too many – good/nice/pleasant girls I know have been subjected to less-than-acceptable treatment by their cheating dates/boyfriends/lovers/husbands. AND WORSE, because of the negative effects to their self esteem caused by their cheating partners, they begin to BLAME THEMSELVES for not being GOOD ENOUGH, and think that they actually DESERVE the ill treatment they get!!! What nonsense!?

Honey, you're worth SO MUCH MORE

than that cheating scum bag you call your lover. 

And if that so-called "man"

ever makes you think otherwise,

ditch the arse and get another.

One who actually deserves you.

ROI

As with every investment decision, there will undoubtedly come a time when you've gotta sit down, reassess the situation, and seriously think about how much effort/time/energy/emotion you've put, are putting, and/or will continue to put into achieving your dreams/desires/visions/plans. And whether or not it's going to really be worth all the muscle/sweat/blood/brain/tears at the end of the day. Cos if it's not, it's time to walk away. But if it is, and you decide to stay, you've gotta be committed to try/work/fight/exert all the way.

Good News All Around

1. Late last week, on the 6th of January 2011, the Malacca Maiden officially became the Malacca MAMA! Wheee!

Her 2.9KG bundle of joy is unbelievably tiny,

but so, so very adorable! And, she cries when he cries! =p

--------------

2. Yesterday, dear Lamé who's never dated – cos no guy has ever been worthy of her attention =p – told me that she is now officially... IN A RELATIONSHIP! Wheee!

--------------

3. For the last few days, Melhung has been trying to get in touch with me. But cos the lines at KRPG have sucked and keep losing connectivity, my GTalk hasn't been performing at its best. But it was this morning. On my iPhone! And that's when she broke the news to me – SHE'S ENGAGED!!! Wheee!

--------------

Gosh, you won't believe how very happy I am for all you girls but... I AM! Some of you have waited for this moment a long time (to start dating/to get engaged), while some of you were totally born to play this part (mummyhood). Gah! WE MUST MEET UP SOON! *crazy eyes* Individually, of course. Since you all dunno each other and are in three different states. HAHA.

I'm In Paris!

Ok seriously, I've never even once been to Paris.

Haha. But... lookie look! I'm there!

Or rather my portrait is. Hahaha.

Gosh, I love it! I can just imagine how wonderful an experience it would be for me if I were to actually fly halfway across the world and see my face staring back at me at a studio I've never ever been into, in a country I've never ever visited.

*daydreams*

You know, I'd really love to do that one day.

Hmmm... Maybe I should plan a trip to Paris... =)

Rocketeer

Artists: Far East Movement (Feat. Ryan Tedder, frontman of One Republic)
Song Title: Rocketeer

[CHORUS]
Here we go, come with me
There's a world out there that we should see
Take my hand, close your eyes
With you right here, I'm a rocketeer

Let's fly, fly, fly, flyyy
Up, up, here we go, go [2x]
Let's fly, fly, fly, flyyy
Up, up, here we go, go
Where we stop nobody knows [knows]

Where we go we don't need roads [roads]
Where we stop nobody knows [knows]
To the stars if you really want it
Got, got a jetpack with your name on it
Above the clouds in the atmosphere [phere]
Just say the words and we outta here [outta here]
Hold my hand if you feelin' scared [scared]
We flyin' up, up outta here

[CHORUS]
Here we go, come with me,
There's a world out there that we should see
Take my hand, close your eyes
With you right here, I'm a rocketeer

Let's fly, fly, fly, flyy
Up, up here we go, go [2x]
Let's fly, fly, fly, flyy
Up, up here we go, go [here we go]
Where we stop nobody knows [knows]

Baby we can stay fly like a G6
Shop the streets of Tokyo get your fly kicks
Girl you always on my mind
Got my head up in the sky
And I'm never looking down feelin' priceless, yeah
Where we at, only few have known
Go on the next level, Super Mario
I hope this works out, Cardio
Til' then let's fly, Geronimo

[CHORUS]
Here we go, come with me
There's a world out there that we should see
Take my hand, close your eyes
With you right here, I'm a rocketeer

Let's fly [yo]
Nah, I never been in space before
But I never seen a face like yours
You make me feel like I could touch the planets
You want the moon, girl, watch me grab it
See I never seen the stars this close
You got me stuck by the way you glow
I'm like, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm like, oh, oh, oh, oh

[CHORUS]
Here we go, come with me
There's a world out there that we should see
Take my hand, close your eyes
With you right here, I'm a rocketeer
Let's fly, fly, fly, flyy
Up, up here we go, go [2x]
Let's fly, fly, fly, flyy
Up, up here we go, go [2x]
Where we stop nobody knows, knows, knows

Am totally hooked on this song right now. The lyrics, the beat, the feel, the flow – love it! But you know what I would love more than this? I'd love to travel and would very much rather see more of the world. Even if it means giving up this track. Forever!! @_@ Ok, I take that back. I'll do another trade. One that doesn't involve this song. ANYWAYS... This song got me thinking.

"Here we go, come with me

There's a world out there that we should see"

Although I spent 3 months in Australia and a week in Singapore in 2010, I didn't actually end up visiting a country I've never been to before, unlike the way I did in 2009 or even 2008. I didn't discover anything new about another place. I didn't see anything I've never seen before. Or learn anything interesting about another culture. Last year, I was experientially stagnant. (Best way I can put it.) And looking back at the year now, I realise that I had 365 days to do it all but instead, I let the year fly by without opening myself to any new experiences in new places that would blow my bank account and enrich my life. Sigh.

Gotta make sure 2011 is different.
