Are my contributions really that small that it is so easily overlooked by people?
Am I too benign, too obscure, too subtle.
Must I shout?
And then I wonder if I would be remembered
When I'm gone
Will I barely leave a void?
Sometimes
I wonder...

Clarification!
Am I the only one that finds the "hit" song "Nobody" by the Wonder Girls (how they ever came up with that name is beyond me, probably wondering why they suck so bad at singing and enunciation.) Seriously, that MV is just another excuse for horny men (and women, you never know) to ogle at plastic ladies who barely know how to dance too.
SO. You have heard the song, but have you truly understood it? They are music artistes afterall and their lyrics have GOT to mean something.
Well, contrary to popular belief, what you hear is not exactly what was meant. I mean, they have problems pronouncing proper words for Christs' sake! Let me give you a short summary into their song which as you would see, isn't about love, but animals!
WRONG
Nobody nobody but chu (you, for some reason)
Nobody nobody but chu
Nobody nobody but chu
Nobody nobody nobody nobody
ACTUAL LYRICS
No birdie no birdie but 猪 (see, hey can actually enunciate!)
No birdie no birdie but 猪
No birdie no birdie but 猪
No birdie no birdie no birdie no birdie
And the song goes on about this bird who was replaced by a pig.

Mutual
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
If you're human, I'm human too.
Feelings are mutual, and deserve respect.
But how can I give when I don't get some back?

MR25 Ultra Marathon
Took part in the MR25 Ultra Marathon over the weekend. It was when I was introduced to the multitude of garang human beings I've always knew existed in Singapore but never seen. And honestly, to see is to believe. They are people at the very peak of physical condition. No Standard Chartered Marathon posers here. Make no mistake, these people are the real deal and can put almost all 50,000 Standard Chartered Marathon runners to shame.
Being around them is a surreal experience in itself. When you are surrounded by greatness, you are forced to match them at their level. Unfortunately, I bombed, and I bombed hard. These people are what they are through much sacrifice and training. There is no way you can come amongst them without training and expect to hang. Alas, my first foray into trail running/ultra marathon wasn't as rosy as I had hope, but the experience was bountiful, and the lessons learnt, immense.
I barely made the half marathon, completing it in 2hrs 30mins. However, I have learnt that running on flat ground is childs' play compared to running in the wilderness. A lot more awareness is needed, and a lot more stamina too. Despite the failure I have realised that – this is something that I want to conquer. I know I can do it with adequate training. The Standard Chartered marathon has been milked pass its worth. It has become (for lack of a better description) a national past time. This is a real challenge, and I'm coming back for it next year.
Screw SCSM, this is much more worthwhile.

Shades That Impairs and Trucker Caps with Double Volume Height
I'm just getting this out of my system because of the ridiculous occurrences that I have had the misfortune of witnessing.
Firstly, people who wear sunglasses. Do you really need to wear them inside a building? For what? Scared the lights too bright blind you is it? Make you look like COCK understand.
Pardon my deviation to Singlish, there really isn't any other way to put that message across.
Secondly, double volume trucker caps. What's up with that? Caps are meant to sit snugly on the top of your head. What, your hair needs breathing space as well? Why bother wearing a cap then? Brain need air ah? Your brain got big enough not? Make you look like ANOTHER COCK!

Woke up specially at 6am (9am Melbourne time) to check on my results, and I've got to say, a slight bit disappointing.

How did the pass happen? Damn... what a damper.
