long overdue

this is for my best friend kenneth who is an adult now.



once upon a time, there was a baby boy called kenneth and he was curious on why his weener was so tiny. but then he named it excalibur and started scaring little girls. he became the legend he is today.

when he was young, he spoke british english. because he was concieved in england therefore he thinks he can drink tea and eat scones at 3 in the afternoon. his brother threatened young school boys in the courtyard and the family had to leave england so kenneth's dream of being born in a football stadium where newcastle plays was dashed. he was born in thomson medical centre.

as a child, he went to newton kindergarten. he wore pink and white checkered uniforms and blue shorts. he posed infront of a castle where balloons unrealistically floated behind him. he graduated from school.

during his young teenage years, he wore bata shoes and played soccer instead of studying his principal of accounts for his olevels. when his bata shoes gave him blisters, he took them off and got cuts instead. kenneth almost killed his science tuition teacher. he joined a band called song bow and became famous in kuo chuan pres sec school. he had fans and groupies who did not want to sleep with him.

after his olevels, kenneth decided to get a job. he was a waiter service agent at a prestigious 5 star hotel in singapore. he stole milk and bread from the kitchen. he broke plates that hung as decorations. he refused to smoke. he sat there as his best friends did.

then a aunty at a mama shop convinced him to smoke. he was convinced.

as a young buddy poly student, kenneth thrived on compliments, gay teachers and cigarettes. he listened to emo songs about slitting your wrists and sitting on ice blocks and hanging yourself. he discovered yassin. his best friend saw his house for the first time. he ate his bangla meal. kenneth lived the high life and drank coffee from a nissin cup noodle cup. he played drums drunk in church on xmas. he found true love in a male counterpart.

as an adult, kenneth got drunk.

i love this man. i really don't know why. i know i do.
i think that's enough.

happy birthday my love.

etched on skin.

but the skin graft man won't get you
you'll be there when I die, tattoo

the who - tattoo

i got it today!



i'm crazy happy about it. it hurts but it sure made me feel good.
the outlining was a bitch, especially on the tailbone.
carlston, my artist, was amazing. he drank barons, almost let merlynn do my tattoo and he's an all round expert.

destination beautiful.

you're my getaway car

you're the line in the sand when i've gone too far
michael buble - everything

my lovely friend/collegue/creative genius, candy, has her own brand!


www.whitedogbobby.com

the stuff she sells is amazingly cute. and they are all based on real life pets she has:

a dog named bobby who pees alot



a rabbit named wabbit


another dog called hungry


and an unidentified animal called FUCK who is a spawn of a fish and a duck
(its brother is called funny = fish and bunny)


ONCE UPON A TIME, Fish and Duck had an affair. it was hot and passionate. One day duck felt sick. She bought a pregnancy test kit and peed on it. "I'm pregnant." Duck said. "How do I know it's mine?" replied Fish. The affair ended and Fuck was born. THE END.


everything is hand-drawn or done by her. the cushions are sewn by her too. eyer! so happening.

she's damn happening.

what good can love do

diamonds never lie to me,
for when love's gone,
they'll luster on.

diamonds are forever - shirley bassey

hey, person who is talking to me, i've been dressing up in pajamas and heading to singapore's most crowded places giving out kotex samples.

yes. below, there is acutal evidence for the above statement.




we are so OC.

lips like sugar

she'll be my mirror
reflect what I am
a loser and a winner

lips like sugar - coldplay.

oh wow, the previous entry got a lot of responses. thanks loves, i know this world is a b-e-a-utiful place because you're here.

besides that, i have decided to tattoo my lower back. oh so excite. inspired by jules, i'm going to tattoo something in sanskrit or arabic because the language is so amazing beautiful to look at.

i'm thinking of something like "hello, stanger. but i'm afraid it might be so fucking annoying because it's like a line from a cheesy pickup bar. i was thinking of "ridiculous love" or "beautiful disaster" or "destination beautiful".

الغاية جميل - destination beautiful
مرحبا الغريب - hello, stranger
الكارثة الجميلة. - beautiful disaster

which one?

i want my tattoo to show intense, crazy love or something to say that love is blind and ruthless and over the edge but beautiful.


i'm so picky.

just complete silence and the candle light

i wish i could,
stare at the wall
and see something different everytime

lene marlin - it's true

i have a problem.
the one who is a has been wants to be an now again.
the one who is harpped on wedding bells and satin gowns is in play.
the one who is the best friend is also in the darn play.

but the one who i really want, isn't.
in fact that one does not even know anything.

i'm far too old for that kind of situation.

anyway, this desperation for touch and love is utterly driving me insane. it's been so long since i longed for someone. i never really thought of getting into a relationship after desmond just because i'm too darn tired to start all over again.

it's so hard to be a girlfriend.
you have to be pretty all the time, meaning when you roll out of bed, you have to look like you can walk out the door to orchard.
you have to be smart
you can't be helpless
you can't eat too much in one go
you can't buy shoes, bags etc ie no shopping
you can't whine about how much your shoes hurt.
you can't ask for anything no matter how much you want something.
that means you have to drop hints which he does not want you to get.
you have to have amazing talents.
you have to be calm
you have to be unjealous
you have to be a sex god, the girl next door, the career woman, the mom, the housewife and LIKE IT.
you have to be wanted by every other man, but chose to be with him and say it.

that's why i'm so tired. because out of all of that, i did the exact opposite.
maybe i thought he was not worth it.

but now, this urge within me is so annoying. i'm far from the pretty thin thing that man crave for.
i figured that i'll just find the one that doesn't mind me.
who has a shallow hal effect.

i want you so bad. and he wants me so bad.

birds go flying

at the speed of sound

while i am packing my bags for my trip to redang (it's an inside joke thing),
my dad starts talking about the renovation of our house in june.

and he has this semi brilliant idea to travel for a month while contractors are hacking our walls and redesigning our rooms. we are going on a month long road tip.

i am so motherfucking excited ok. i can hardly contain my balls. i'm serious, i was so excited, i grew balls!

we're going to:



every continent cept' for africa. i'm trying to get my dad to put us on a flight to south africa just to complete the trip. but he scared that i would be sold off as a sex slave. (hahahahahaha). that wouldn't be a problem as now, as you recall, i have too much extra weight and balls.

plus i'm am going to spain! spain! spain! that means i'm closer to



raul my beautiful latin lova, i am going to be near you. i will go to real and snatch you from your hawt supermodel wife. i will raise you 4 kids so they can use chopsticks and line up for free hello kitty toys that they don't need. i will treat your entire team to sugarcane and chin chow during practice and at night, we will break the national singapore average of number of sex they have in a year. that's 96 times in one night my mucho macho man.

with that thought, my balls have returned home where they cannot be seen by the naked eye.


look out world!

can't touch this

dum dum dum dum... dum dum... dum dum, can't touch this



little miss sunshine (2006) was the best comedy i've seen in a long time. forget your epic movie, norbit morbid nonsense and be prepared for tear jerking laugh out loud, rewindable moments with the hoover family.

the hoover family is the world's most functioning dysfunctional family. they travel to redon beach for their little Olive to compete in the little miss sunshine competition. be prepared for tear-jerking moments and those laugh until your belly bursts moments also. i want a yellow van. it's like the essence of the show.

and also, this has one of my favourite comedians - steve carell. the office. 40-year-old virgin. i love this man can, especially in this movie.



but the true show stealer? this guy:


hello stranger

paul dano acts as dwayne hoover, a boy who talks for less then 5 mins in the show. but that's the beauty of his character, all you get is his face and his body movements. ah.

please please go and see this show.

it doesn't matter

we all falter

ok a moment of weakness back there, but we're moving on.

i had lunch with the two best people in the world to ever have lunch with on a sunny monday afternoon. i love the cheap shots, the noodle laughs and all the in-betweens. dean and lynda of 3 jalan kuning are my two best workaholics in the world. dean with his batik shirts and his eye for fashion detail and of course his simon webb impersonation.

and lynda for eating haato gelate and falling asleep after every bite.

and then i had a brilliant idea of wearing our shades into 7-11 and act all shady.
but as usual, with us oozing ultimate sex appeal, we ended up looking like this:





i think lynda was falling down in the last shot.
but she looks damn hot doing it.

give yourself some time to falter

the riot in my heart decides to keep me open and alive
i have to take myself away from you


amidst the corny moves and the heart-stopping mambo music,
the groppy hands and throbbing hips,
among the drunk horny ns boys,
and the gorgeous girls decked the halls,

i realised something so raw and unmistakably true.

i miss you so much that today, i nearly fell on my knees just to feel the ground shake.

it's not that i still love you, because i'm pretty sure i don't. not as much as i do anyway,
it's just that, i miss you. your hair as it falls across your forehead when it's matted with sweat.
the way you light up with passion
i miss your scent, a mix of musty old charm and comfort
the way you talk and over pronouce certain words.

i miss us. when we went on a whimsical pop-the-weasel chases.
i miss the way you knew what i was thinking about.
the way we always said the same things at the same time.

god, even the way you use to check girls out.
i miss the way we use to talk all night. the way we argued, the way you slammed the phone down on me and how i would cry and you could not sleep till we both could smile as we fell into dreams.

you and your games. your 101 different tactics for different games. i miss the way you would bore me to death about the trials and tribulations of your life and how you made me a fixture of your future.

i miss your intricate movements, the flick of your wrist when you tell the time.
the soft sounds you make when you eat, the way you slurp your noodles (though i hate that)
i miss your mismatched sense of humour, how you always think my jokes aren't funny.
when they actually are.

i fall hard and i fall fast. i hate to admit this, but tonight, when i was singing "together forever and never to part" with russell

i was thinking of you.


and once again, i don't love you. no i don't because it's very vulgar and you did it to yourself.

i just miss you. that's all
