Disbanded but Still My Fav.

This album retails at $42.95 @ HMV but I got it for free! Yay! This is an awesome album. A really great follow up to their superb debut album 'The Lost Riots'.

They've since split up.

A Reply For You By Me

Dear Jeremy,

How have you been doin since Friday's drama? I see that you are taking things quite seriously at work. You throw tantrums at Medusa at times but nevertheless not overboard. You were just so straight with your words I feel being that direct or agressive isn't too healthy. Why don't you self-reflect on yourself and not let emotions and feelings succumb you? You're a man. Do what a man gotta do. Go find a new gal! Don't let her ruined your already pathetic life.

I know sometimes when a special gal comes along you'd get butterflies in ur stomach and automatically loose appetite even though you're so damn hungry. But hey, look at yourself! It's torturing u know?! Carry on like that, you'll be skin and bones I tell you. So the best solution is to go and get laid. I mean if it gets desperate, pay for it la! Everybody needs to have abit a pleasure every now and then what rite...somemore you're such a bloody horny fella. Haha. Or go wank la! Oh ya ah...u told me wanking will only make u look haggard. Hmm... eh fuck you la! Can u jolly well explain to me how will that ever happend?

I think you need help, really. You even told me today that you were on the verge of sending her a text message! WTF! Pls don't do that! You don't even know what's happening on the other side. Wait for her to contact you first then see how ok? Then ah when she contact you, err...go meet her! Make her be open to you and say everything. Don't play hide and seek anymore, ok? But I tell you la, she's not worth it. I think you're just a passer-by. Just so sway that you were the fella that came along. Aiyah you...wrong place, wrong time man. But what to do? It just had to happend. As they say, shit happens loh. But hey...everything happens for a reason rite? Haha. Macham like the show LOST. :P

Maybe this whole melodrama shit will make you stronger in your views about having a relationship? Maybe God has a fantastic movie script that hasn't climax? Or maybe, just maybe you're destined to be gay. I dunno. Just speculating arh! Dun scream at me. But aiyah...if you're gay, I tink more gals will fall for you than guys! Look at you! Haha...just maintain the person you are. You're a cool guy. A cool gal will come, naturally. Sumpa.

Actually being single has its goods and bads la. No need to explain to you rite. Tink you jolly well know. Being single for so long already..How long is it? 4-5 years? Wah seh...you ah...how can u tahan for so long? Hmm...i guess it's time for me to give you one last piece of advise.

Cheer up! :)

Love,

I lost a friend...

AS the chorus of Cake's song goes,"Friend is just a four-letter word." What exactly is this four-letter word? For me, I think it's called LOVE.

I've recently lost a friend in the most terrible circumstances...

She (0350am,Saturday 2-9-06): .....N btw, wrz d kiss u promised? :P

At ard 5am, i got a call from her boyfriend. It was by far the worst phone call I'll ever received. And probably the last I'll ever hear her voice.

Have you lost a friend before? It just happened to me. 48 hrs ago. I couldn't believe it.

Many Friday nites were special nites. Just the 2 of us chilling out, with good red wine and conversations. Knowing she'd already had a boyfriend, we'd still stay up till the wee hours of the morning. We'd only have less than 4hrs of sleep and I'd hear her voice again from her morning call, waking me up for work. Those 3 Friday nites we had together were memorable, if not, just awesomely splendid.

If this goes on, we'd probably be in a relationship. But I knew there was a barrier I have to cross. A barrier, in fact, I will never attempt to cross. I'm not a bastard to break apart your relationship. To put in layman's term, I ain't goin to be labelled a 'third-party'. I'm just with you for good close company. But in my heart, I knew I stand a chance. It wasn't my intention to let your relationship with him turn sour. It was probably my intention to captivate you when i'm in your presence. And tt's not wrong... 'Cos I know that you know you'll have better years ahead when you're with me. Maybe you'd also have the same barrier to cross. Nvrtheless, you were an incredible company, and I to you.

It'll take time for me to look forward to Friday nites being without you. But as they say, life has to go on. With or without you, we'd still be in each other's heart. Goodbye, friend. Till I hear from you.... @muah!@

Passion

Sometimes designing can be a pain in the arse. Just ask me.

This is especially so when you have 3 freaking magazines to handle. 2 are abt 100pp each, the other 50+pp. And when your freaking assitant takes a day just to do 2pgs max. How the hell are we goin to deliver on time? And when I say to finish 2 pgs, I say 2 'incomplete' ones that I have to snag along doin up changes and stuff. He's a freaking snob. Suffice to say he used to 'take care' of 4-5 designers at a go last time. Stop bullshitting for crying out loud. You can't even handle this dumb mag.

So the question is: Where do we draw the line? We all have a job to do. And that I'm doin 2mags and he 1. After 2 weeks struggling with the look, *Medusa gave up. I had to step in. His confidence drop dramatically. Idiot. With 10yrs of experience in this field, this was probably his worst. But that's only my presumption. He may just be a lazyfuck for all i know. The more i think, the more I cringed opening up psds in the mornings and start revamping it. Its like doin 3 mags now. Tt's no joke. Just ask any good designers and you'll know wad I mean. I'm goin insane! i'm also trying to keep myself calm at times when *Medusa starts pinpointing tt that pg sux. We all have to defend 'our' designs sometimes.

Like wad happened today. I believe designers shld always 'protect' each other in times of frustration by not pushing the blame...for this instance, on me! I think by doin this not only dis-rekindle wadever relationship you may have with ur collegue. It'll also shows ur childishness and unprofessionalism. I think the best solution is to just listen and shut the fuck up. After *Medusa's done with her ramblings, then go scream ur head at him. I failed doin that. He left for home soon after. I will fuck him tmrw.

Sometimes being helpful lead to many uncertainties. When you tink you're doin a good deed for him, he may turn the tables on you. Bastards like these do exits even in a small company. I wonder if i ever land a job in a bigger company, will it be like that? Or will it be so stringent that everybody just shuts the fuck up and do a good job - a job tt was assigned to you from the beginning? What landed you this job is your specialty. He has none. No foundation. Nothing.

Show passion my friends. It'll bring you more satisfaction in wadever you do. Even sex. 'Nuff said.

*Medusa = My Boss

Platonic Relationship and Stuff that Matters

Now, the last time i heard this bad word was from my ex-gf many years ago. Using this dirty word to describe her male college's relationship - 'It was just a platonic relationship.' Oh hell yea right! In time to come, this platonic relationship had developed into something else. They got together. I guess mine wasn't long enough.

Whoever invented this word, I have to give you the finger 'cos i don't believe it at all. For me it's either a yes or a no. Yes we go into a relationship, no we juz remain friends or worst off never contact each other again 'cos by doin that, u gather feelings for each other again and it's never ending. It just goes round and round. So the question is, should I be seeing her again. I got all the vibes last Saturday when we went out for drinks. I couldn't remember the last time I had a good night, with solid conversation and everything. A little touchy here and there. Fuck, we even held hands. Only the kiss was missing. I only got it on sms before I went to bed. Does that count? I feel like I gotta take some action soon 'cos I still do not know if she's still with that 40+yr old boyfriend of hers. She could be his daugther for all I know. LoL!

She didn't directly said she's treating this as a platonic relationship but eh dun bluff me. You just couldn't get upfront with me cos you're afraid i may get hurt, jump off a building, commit suicide or scream or something like that. C'mon man what was that all about the previous night? A show? Something you seek to be comforted cos ur guy didn't? Because of some quarrel or misunderstanding? Feeling unloved by him? Using me as a one night substitute? Because I was too irresistible that night? Was the night so surreal to you as you said? Or you want me as your part-time boyfriend? Goodness. Where did that come from? Shit.

We didn't finished our conversation. So I can't tell you more. And I also dunno wad's gonna happened. We even planned going Phi Phi. Everything was just goin too fast. It's like a movie. We even planned to get a matching tattoo done. What the hell is happening? I guess it's game on. Shan't contact you till wednesday. We'll see what happends. We'll see.

But i'll always believe platonic love is platonic bullshit.

But then.... hey i gain 1KG! Hooray!

p/s: I gotta get back to my winning ways. From my hair to my feet. 'Cos Gorillaz told me to feel good. Ahahahahaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.............
