Someone: want anything from victoria's secrets

Me: err
like what

Someone: hmmmm.....
lingerie?

Me: gah
why would I want lingerie

Someone: u do like female stuff

Me: GAH
no I don't collect female underwear

Someone: u do wear scrunchies and all

Me: scrunchie is to tie hair


Someone else: eh those park students r not even in high sch

Me: how you know

Someone else: by the uniform colour

high sch is the typical sailor fuku

u noe the street fighter sakura?
tt uniform

Me: oh
I thought it's by school one

Someone else: little variance

and in high sch, the guys wear very solemn
buttoned up dark blue shirt
dunno how to describe

btw i have seen such uniforms here in SG b4
@ Liang Court there

there's a japanese high sch here
near NUS
in west coast

last dec i went to their primary sch located in a ulu part of changi
we had to sit on the japanese chairs meant for 6-11 year olds to take the JLPT!!!!
!@#$%

u have no idea how short tt stool is
the examiner is probably drooling at the gals who open their legs


Someone: i think u're sexually deprived
u need to get some

either tt or become a Christian
teach u abstinence

Me: hurr hurr
[Kabuki cho]'s in lonelu planet

HELLO
you think christians not sexually depraved ah

all the priests go rape altar boys

abstinence only education is either ineffective or makes things worse

Someone: hey u want to come visit my church ?

u explore Christianity la
with an open mind
and open heart

Me: I've explored christianity with an open mind
and have found it severely lacking

Someone: but not with an open heart

u need to approach it experientially
not purely intellectually

Me: like LSD

and islam
and wicca

have you approached wicca with an open mind and an open heart?

Someone: come my good man
open your heart to the Lord

Me: open your heart to the Goddess

Someone: come my good man
stop resisting

let me pray for you

Me: pray all you want
I'll hire a shinto priest to cast out the bad kami from your heart
and scatter some salt in front of your doorstep

Someone: open your heart
let Jesus Christ minister to you

sure
if u let me do whawt i want with you
you can do taht

abit hard to find shinto priests in sg too

Me: I'll turn a few turns on a prayer wheel for you
but I think it's non-transferable

are you doing this just to annoy me

Someone: of course

the ultimate goal is to amuse myself
i irritate u to amuse myself

Me: this is like how all the companies call me up to be financial planner
I say no and another comes
like hydra like that

...

Someone: but brother
if u are ever open

just drop me a facebook msg

i'll cab to yr place
and lead you thru the sinner's prayer

such that you may let Jesus into your heart
and experience his transforming power

it's never too late brother

this offer is open for as long as you or i live, whichever is shorter

Me: I thought salvation is open to all mankind because of his "sacrifice"
(at least till you die, but opinions vary on that)

Someone: yesyes
open to all

man can only be a vessel by which God works

if i die, someone else can guide you thru the sinner's prayer
or better still if u know it
u can pray it urself

Me: I'll bring you some peyote

Someone: shall I type it out my version for you?
so tt u can pray it anytime u wish
and let Jesus into your heart?

come come let me leave it on your facebook wal
so tt maybe when u're 70 and still have ur facebook acct u can call it up and pray it

Me: I need to start my own MLM


Someone else: manipulation is getting pple to do what i want

but the crux of it is..
what do i want from them?

it is really as simple as gg for lunch sometimes

however, most of the time i have no expectations of guys.. which means they are pretty safe from me

^^ strike them when they are unaware and feeling safe =)

Me: (then girls leh?)

Someone else: girls are harder to get along w
generally


Me: I commented drolly that honesty is never the best policy
no it's not. especially not with women

JB: obviously it's not
haiyo you should know that by now

it's pretty obvious lurh.

even if the girl happens to seem really rational or whatever
the double X is unbeatable
it is powerfullll

Me: reminds me of something I said
someone was saying vanity is one of the follies of man
I said the only folly of man is woman


Someone: haha....change!

be a food blogger
and a famous one

quite a lot of invites...seriously
i rejected quite a few
media invites also

Me: no lah
I rather stick to my niche :P

the web needs more people like me than food bloggers
haha

though it's worse for me materially
oh well

Someone: haha....ok lah..we do need blogs liek urs

there's too many food blogs in sg lah

Me: hahahahaha

yah
yet so many invites and vouchers

Someone: cos dining industry is competitive

so many new restaurants each mth
so many hawker stalls

Me: hehe

singapore is a good place to eat out compared to other places in the world
so much variety
not too ex
a lot of promotions

though quality not that high
a lot of mediocre food out there

Someone: true!

can't really find much high quality food
then i ve pple criticising me with too picky taste buds

but it's the truth lah
more like they dunno wat's high quality food

Me: you very picky meh
hehe

Someone: i m very lenient on my blog liao
dun wanna get bomb

if u read pple like ***
u will start wondering why *** thinks everything is good

Me: maybe *** only goes to good places
reviews good places

bad places say nothing
PR?

Someone: pls..i ate at some places *** ate before
:S


Akikonomu: i have my own personal stalker =\

http://akikonomu.blogspot.com/2008/07/friends-with-schizophrenia.html

Me: I think you can make police report

Akikonomu: he challenged me to make police report

Me: go and make lah
no point letting siao lang ruin your life

Akikonomu: he says he's schizophrenic, and has NO MONEY of his own

so i want to blow this up, i pay
not him
court fees, etc

Me: you're already paying

actually in criminal case you dont pay court fees

Akikonomu: anyway i hate being threatened

so i told him: fine. it looks like you want attention. if you want, i will go down to your house to tell your father, your mother, your aunt, and your grandmother what you've been doing

and then he put down the phone
lol

Me: are you going down to his house

Akikonomu: i'm going to do something better
i'm going to tell this to his father's colleagues

VP so? all the more HE now has something to lose big time

i also don't like to be lied to... i made a call back to his house and his aunt said the father not in... obviously

this is a failure of IMH lor
all these siao lang running around

i almost neglected to tell him that i found his younger brother's profile on facebook
kid studying overseas, i have a feeling he's not going to come back

but hell... if hobday wants to do a psycho on me, i'll make sure he knows the meaning of shame

him and his entire family
down to the 7th generation

actually gabriel... siao lang are very sensitive to the fear of being shamed

Me: then why do they do these things

Akikonomu: they misunderestimate what people will do

i've told hobday many times. i don't appreciate getting unsolicited messages no matter what time of the day. i don't think he's qualified to give any religious advice or exposition

they also overestimate is how far people will go to accomodate them
cos they know that WE feel embarrassed at having to deal with them

they don't know that we can be pushed to make them shamed

*** says these people are master manipulators and bullies
you just have to shame them or threaten to shame them

schizos are good bullies
cos most people just don't dare to aggravate them

Me: how long have you been trying to reason with him?

Akikonomu: let's put it this way. i have been trying not to answer his phone calls and smses for more than 3 months

actually more than 3 months... more like almost half a year

and every few days: 5-6 sms
sometimes at 2am
sometimes at 9am

Me: reason doesn't work
nor does playing nice

Akikonomu: i ignored him for more than 3 months
still got smses and whatnot

the right kind of attention can make it go away
like shaming and embarrassing them

make sure it's not them who pay, but their caretakers

Me: like how in japan if you kill yourself by jumping in front of a train your family pays for clean up?
