i think i really am a social butterfly… in a previous post, i lamented that my friends have sort of forgotten about me but after 1 month in sg, it is now more like i have never been away… everyday i am like some where and i absolutely love it. however, my writing and reading has suffered a great deal because of this and it seems like i am beginning to be a ignoramus because i do not read the papers much either.

worked part time as an event dude last week… man, such a marked difference, from someone who ordered people around to a coolie whom nobody gives a bloody damn.. so lowly i am regarded, that the in charge was apprehensive when i was needed (due to someone taking sick leave) to operate a pc. all i needed to do was to click record and save as a file. i mean even a complete moron can do it lor..

but no.. he was pondering like he was cracking the kinetic theory of superfluous static, contemplating if i could handle such an intricate task. really i felt like screaming at him, i mean, my bloody company entrusted the entire finance operation to me and here he is doubting my ability to click record… wtff

anyway, in retrospect, it was a blessing in disguise that i went back to freelance because i was given a massive dose of reality, that if nobody knows you, you might as well be invisible. and always, i must remember that past ‘glories’ count for nothing, never take it for granted.

went for this off road trail recently, big SUVs cramped into tanah merah waiting to rock and roll.. i went because i wanted to relive some of my bike trailing days…

but man, it turned out nothing like it. being in a car, you are cocooned and with all the high tech ABS, traction control.. whatever.. i wonder why do they think that they are really out in the nature? and heck, as a group they are so environmentally unfriendly.. air-con, random grass steam rolling and the likes… i seriously think that these people give a damn about where they are.

and they are such ‘action’ people, the sun was tearing into our backs, and sweat enveloped any open skin but yet this bunch keeps stopping in the middle of nowhere and chat… what the hell… when me and a friend hid inside a car with open doors and umbrella shade, they gave us a ’such pussies’ look..

it made my blood boil, what is it about sun and being bbq alive? does it make you more of a man? one can even say ‘aiyah we are used to it’… yeah, no wonder, the sun must have baked his pea sized brain to go with his grilled arm.

havent they heard of heat stroke?

friend and i so wanted to tell them that they are the sissy ones instead, come ride with us and then you will know what true off roading is about..
