Greyed

How do you know when you'll never win an argument with a person? When the person can make his blacks grey, your whites, grey, and eventually make the grey lean slightly in his favor. That's when you know you're in the presence of a genius. Either you dig in your heels and stick firmly to your guns, or you throw your hands up in despair and give up.

That's a pretty good life skill to have, no? =)

I'll never achieve that of course. Why? Cause I'm ..


Did you know that 1% of the adult population stutter? 1%, and I happen to fall within that category. While people struggle to speak eloquently and persuasively, I fight to speak without stuttering.

Quite sad, isn't it. I wonder how many percent of the adult population is chronically lazy, like me.


I rather be ..

Maximum Chill..

It was close to midnight on lunar new year's eve and our 4 heroes were mass-chatting on msn, an upgrade to starting a new channel and setting +i in the old IRC days. The topic of discussion? Drinking venue. We wanted to go to The Labyrinth as usual, but the public ktv was quite a turn off, so we considered Highlander instead. Daryl, our resident slouch complained that it was too far and suggested brewerkz, which, er, is practically across the river from highlander.

Anyway, we ended up in midsummer night breeze, a relatively new chill out cafe in Pasir Ris park where smokers are treated with reverence and given an entire pavilion complete with Balinese decor and wooden sofas while non smokers are relegated to ordinary metal tables and coffee-bean style rattan chairs. Hoegaarden was going on tap at $11 per pint with 1% cess being the only taxation. The staff were friendly and although they ran out of nuts, they gave us, er, fried ikan bili s to placate our rumbling tummies.

What followed was a night of bridge, booze, fags, and bending over in laughter upon hearing snippets of conversation from the bisexual drunk and his "non-conformist" friends at the next table. In geek-speak, this is a "Web 2.0" pub, where entertainment is provided by the other patrons, not the establishment =)

L is for ..

In view of the coming valentine's day, here's a take on love

"And now we know the difference between love, and a desire to love. Love, which exists in its perfect form in the relationship between God and man, and a desire to love, evident in most relationships between lovers.

Love is unconditional and all encompassing. If I love you, and I accept all that you are. A desire to love is an attempt to emulate perfect love, by turning a blind eye to flaws and character traits that are in reality unbearable; tolerating them only out of a desire to love the person, unconditionally. If the other party, too, has a desire to love you, the person will have adjustments made to his or her life, and an equilibrium will be forged, and over time perhaps, true love will blossom.

My love is imperfect, and in the absence of perfection, disasters abound."
