The Love of My Life

I have found the love of my life....

1. She looks like me first gf.

2. She's from SCGS.

3. She's sporty and tanned. *Sigh.. but currently she's injured, recovering from op*

4. She's funny, witty with just the right amount of cynicism.

5. The only problem is that she is not from NJC. *Yes, as of now I just have to buy a few NJC year books to have a complete photo collection of my past r/s*

6. To top it off she's ALREADY attached to Eugene! *wow, but the minor problem being that the eugene in question is not me.. sob*

Bozo says: I think tonite i will drive my bulldozer to plow down some bus stops

*alpha* says: Huh like tt the pple harder to take bus leh

Bozo says: Can Scare ppl into Mrt station. Else maybe i might sneak into the civil defence control room to sound the sirens to get everyone into Mrt shelter... ooh ooh its back to 1.08 nvm 4pm liao..

*alpha* says: Hmm maybe we can talk to those old uncles and aunties on the bus and distract them.. so they will forget to tap the fare card when they go down

Bozo says: Its shld go back to 1.08-1.09 liaoz.. hmm true

*alpha* says: I am still hopeful that it will cls @ 1.27

Bozo says: hmm...there's a slight chance of that…I wldnt be too hopeful but got chance. I would suggest u up ur chances by buy all the 1.08 stocks now.. then buy all the 1.09 as well..until u hit 1.27

*alpha* says: Yeah yeah.. or at least buy till YOU recover the brokerage fees rite?!!

Bozo says: Oh...erm..come’on man...is our frenship only worth the brokerage fees

*alpha* says: On moday.. I am gg to hack into the SPH webby to release News Article: Citi Grp & JP Morgan issue strong buy ratings for SMRT. Rumours of the company having discovered a way of using water and a cheap alternative to oil had been circulating in the mkt... Target price: $2.37

*alpha* says: U think if we 2 stand in the middle of the trains and repeat: " Pls do not leave your belongings unattended.. if you see and suspicious objects please inform the MRT Staff or call 999" over and over again, then SMRT can save electric bills of the announcment system

Bozo says: Erm. nah I think the price wld drop if we tried that. I say we both quit our jobs and go and be mrt drivers then we drive the trains faster to improve efficiency i think if we're lucky mite close at 1.09 today

*alpha* says: Huh i still hoping for 1.27.

Bozo says: Erm. yes. thats rite. as long as the mkt doesnt close...still got chance...
most prob...i think we talk cock then the price will surge...

PS: The counter closed @ $1.10! Yay!

My Hall Reminds Me Of YOU!

Disclaimer: Just penning down me thoughts.

Day 2 in hall. One friend made, hahah not helped by the fact my room is located in the furthest reaches of Siberia *yes the hall officer don’t like me*. My right pinkie finger has over taken me thumb as my fattest finger and my left ankle no longer allows me to move side ways. Yup a normal day in the loserly life of alphamale.

Oh the biggest news in recent week is that one of the Loser Club’s member is getting engaged!! Wow! Darn.. going to lose my upsized bet. Its kinda scary really.. many in loser club are settling down. It kinda sets one thinking yah? I have just been demoted from Cher to student, life’s in a state of flux and I still do not want to settle down. There’s so much more to do in life!! But that said, I am starting to believe that it could be that should one meet THE ONE, he/she will wanna settle down asap.. hmm let me ponder.. when your partner says she doesn’t want to settle down yet, does it means that she still have doubts over whether u are the one she wants to spend the rest of her life with?

Another sad thing in life, which hit me this couple of months, is that relationships are all about timing/fate. Starting to believe and accept that people usually do not marry the love of their life *hmm lets not be dragged into the arguments of whether there is in deed THE ONE*. For many, having spent early adult-hood searching for love, they seem to give up their search, lower their standards and grab whoever comes along @ the time they decide to settle down. Then there are those we meet too early or too late... Hmm hmmm let me ponder and observe more. *Another interesting discussion, which would deserve an entry on its own is "Would you rather be with the person who loves you most or the person whom you love most?". I argued for the former, haha but I know when it comes to the crunch, I will still choose the latter*

My hall really reminds me of my ex-gf. The same canteen we used to visit. The lay outs of the blocks, bedrooms, bathrooms, lounges, laundry rooms are all the same! It sets me thinking.. if I had got into NIE straight after graduating from accountancy, we might still have been together *alternatively me might have actually succeeded in killing each other* then we might get engaged, then I would have won my upsize!!! Hahah life is such! Best wishes to the soon to engage couple! I wanna be the best man!!!!!!!

Short snippets of my NIE week:

Day 1: I learnt that basketball can kill.. goodbye to my left ankle and right pinkie finger
Day 2: Yay I am the libero!! Fun lahz but tiring.. and in the end both teams hate me!!! Grrr…
