gentlemen and ladies.
This happen too many times that I just need somewhere to rant this.
With all due respect to all humankind in the whole wide world, universe, mars, planets, outer space, under water, and whatnots,
I
Okay, don't get me wrong on not liking men, and that I like women. No, for pete's sake, I have nothing against the gender or sex for that matter. I'm perfectly, 100 percent straight, not a bi-, not gay definitely.
Anyway, as I was saying about gentlemen. I mean we are living in the 21st century, does chivalry still exist? Do these men or women know what is the meaning of chivalry in the first place?
After all these years, I guess it is safe to say that not many people know what it truly means and how it came about.
Let me take you through.
Ever wondered why is it "ladies & gentlemen" and not "gentlemen & ladies"?
why is it "ladies first" & not "gentlemen first"?
why is it "men have to pay for the date, cos it's considered being a gentlemen" and not "women have to pay for the date, cos it's considered being a lady"?
why "men have to open the door for women",
why "men have to carry the women's handbag (or any bag)",
why "men have to treat and pamper women",
why "men should drive",
why "men are stronger* than women",
why men here, men there... (and the list goes on and on and on...)
...and not the other way round?!
Enough said, I'm quite sick and tired of the world revolving around men doing things for women.
Come on girls, you are as strong as them! Humans are made equal (besides the biological make up of course) and there's no need for the segregation of gender and sex.
WHERE'S THE GENDER EQUALITY IN THIS WORLD?
WHY THE NEED FOR GENDER DISCRIMINATION?
WHYYYYYY?
Most of the Presidents in the world are men. More men are involved in the military, more men are involved in sports, more men are involved in ALMOST EVERYTHING.
WHYYYYY! :(
But anyway, I'm not an extremist in promoting feminism as I believe that women or in fact every living being in this planet have their own beliefs and rights, yes?
You wanna play football?
You wanna play the PS's Need for Speed, Assassin's Creed, Street Fighter?
You wanna play Dota, CounterStrike, Diablo, Maple?
WHY THE HELL NOT?!
(I played them before, they're quite fun!) - no link but it's okay.
This post is not only to guys but also to girls out there who may have some trouble adapting to your hormones and whatnots. Nah, KIDDING!
This post is not dedicated to anyone. It's just a post, yeah blog post. Heh.
For what's it is worth, I think I'm done here. And chivalry is/will be dead for good.
No offence to anyone. Any resemblance to anything or anyone is purely coincidental.
Till then!

welcoming the three hundred & sixty six days!
Let's see. I didn't really prepare any last day of the year post, but since it's the beginning of the new year, oops correction, the beginning of a new LEAP year (dammit!), I shall rewind & reminisce the last 365 days and post eleven most memorable/worthy of remembering things that happened in 2011.
Ready? Here we go!
#1 - Went Countdown @ Esplanade area for the first time! (Does this count? Haha)
I don't really like to blend in with the crowds, especially during this time but it was a last minute meet-up with a friend and his mom to watch the fireworks at the City Area. It was humid (cos it rained), the floor was wet and the area was flooded with people. But it was something to remember cos it was the first time I went to such extend to celebrate the New Year! :)
#2 - Got my first ever Sum 41 Music CD from Amazon!
Screaming Bloody Murder is the title by the way. I remembered I kiasu-ly pre-ordered this item way before it was released. The disc was shipped to my place a week after it got released. I was a happy kid; and the happiness and excitement lasted close to a week ever since I got hold of it. It was just, indescribable :)
#3 - Took A380 for the second time to Hong Kong with BFFs!
Yeap! I used to be so fascinated about boarding & flying to other countries in an airplane. But after taking the A380 for the second time (the first was a 8hour flight to Japan), it feels quite normal. Went to Disneyland for the second time too. But I still prefer Tokyo Disneyland though. :)
#4 - Got super tanned after the wave of regattas in SAF Yacht Club!
Ever since I left secondary school, I thought my "dark" days were over. But I was wrong! End 2010 and early 2011 was my tannest of all due to the regattas that I supported during my term in the Yacht Club. Even my relatives & friends saw the difference!
#5 - Left my previous job, and embark on a new journey in RP!
Discover. Transform. Achieve. Yes, that's the new tagline for the upcoming RP 10th Anniversary Celebrations. Somehow, I think that will shape how I will grow during my time here. Work has been pretty hectic so far, but gotta love term breaks/school vacation where I can have my own vacation at work too! :)
#6 - Bought 2 Mango Dresses from ASOS, 3 Heels from New Look & a bag from Timbuk2!
3 words; Bestest buys ever! Till date these items are the most utilised during special occasions or during a night-out with friends! Spend quite a lot on them but it's worth it. You should totally see the face when these items arrive at my doorstep. Priceless to the max! HAHA! :)
#7 - Turned 21 years young on the 27th July 2011!
Finally, it was the year, the moment that I have been waiting for. Being a non-minor, fully pledged adult and being responsible for everything never felt so good before. Hurray! I am free from all the clutches from everyone and it's time for me to fly and lead myself to a place and environment that I desire since a long time ago. Hurray again! :)
#8 - Participate in my first ever Adventure Race - Avontuur ROAR @ Outward Bound Singapore!
Yes! It was a last minute sign-up. Signed up for the 25-35KM non-competitive run, bike, swim, kayak & lots of adventure at Ubin. After 7-8 hours of non-stop sweating, we managed to cross the finishing line & received the finisher medal. Aww, miss the fun & laughter while racing! Overall, it was really satisfying!
#9 - Found out that my favourite band is performing in Singapore in 2012!
YESSSAAAA! 12th April 2012 shall be the day that I'm gonna head to Fort Canning and watch Sum 41 live, YES LIVE! They are like finally coming to Singapore! Tickets gonna be expensive thought, but who cares right. It's like once in a lifetime opportunity. Moreover, money can be earned back right? :)
#10 - Bought 1, but received 4 different water bottles from different people!
Yes, 2011 gotta be my "water bottle year" as I received water bottles twice as presents; 1 on my 21st Birthday by Mia & Eve, and 2 from the TDA/TSO gift exchange from Siti. Where's the other 2, you may ask? I got 1 as a consolation prize during the D&D in my previous workplace and the other one, I bought it at Royal Sporting House! Guess I got no reason not to drink enough water then! Heh.
#11 - Bought a freaking iPhone 4S, 32GB some more!
No doubt that it cost a bomb, but I believe it's worth it. Apple products have never fail me. My iPod Nano 9th Gen is doing perfectly alright, considering that it have been through tough times with me. Haha!
So that's it! There you go, the list has spoken. These are definitely the best of 2011, and it'll always be placed close to my heart.
Happy 2012 everyone! Stop thinking it as if it's a leap year, think it as if you have an extra day to make a difference!
Toodles! :)

Wow, it feels like forever since I last updated this space. No doubt many things happened lately and for obvious reasons, I guess I won't be writing about it.
Anyhow, I've been very occupied with work stuff lately. Things have been pretty much hectic, with all the video editing, travelling, managing, exercising and whatnots. It's really tiring but yet, you still wanna continue and do it more, that kinda feeling. Okay, maybe sometimes fatigue and insomnia come crawling back into the body, but all in all, it's becoming more of a routine for me and that I have to survive and go on in life, yes? :)
Well, that said, I'm feelin' so excited for Christmas this year! Not that I am not in the previous years, but this year's gonna be magical cos it's a brand new Christmas, celebrating it with many different friends & colleagues. Just by thinking and typing all these, I feel so pumped up! Who wouldn't love this festive season when the atmosphere is cool and happy and cheery, right? I haven't really settled down & manage my budget yet, but will do soon as I'm really saving up for something important in the future, that of course gonna be so worth it! :)
So what's on my social calendar for the upcoming festive month? Gonna be yet another busy month for me, but I guess it's gonna be lots of sweating and tearing and prolly a sense of satisfaction, yes? Celebrated Christmas with different colleagues here was so fun and exciting. I would definitely remember the water bombs, water guns, the tray of bee hoon (haha!), the fake champagne, the sakura & many many more. These are of course only memories that I can look back and smile to myself, thinking how much fun I had in 2011 Christmas.
I do still have upcoming celebrations; before, during and even after Christmas itself. So there'll be many many more gift exchanges, good food and most importantly good company. Oh man, how I wish December won't end so early. A month is not enough to spend time with our loved ones!
On a happier note, I will be embarking on a new journey in 2012; the journey I have decided to take since 2009. Wish me luck! And no, it's not changing of jobs if that's what you're thinking. Heh.
Have a very Merry Christmas everyone, and a wonderful 2012!

rainbow paths
Sometimes when life takes a tumble, look back. See the joy and happiness you have ever felt before and then relive the moments with a better and positive mindset in the future.
I did. And I would love to recreate "a world filled with joy and affection and endless possibilities", with you.

"whatever happens, life has to go on"
This has become one of the most used phrases nowadays when facing a tough situation. I think people take advantage of this phrase to shield their cowardice in facing the situations.
I believe that we have to at least give a try to break the shackles and change the situation and make it desirable. Life offers us with everything, but we are always afraid to take more than a step further due to the risk involved. Try beyond the safe zone cos nothing is impossible if we are ready to give out best to get what we want.
I hope, I wish but how far can I?
This one's for you and me,
living out our dreams
We're all right where we should be
Lift my arms out wide I open my eyes
And now all I wanna see
Is a sky full of lighters.
--
Fly me to somewhere I can live my life happily, will you? (Phuket's not good enough for me, I'm sorry)
