Interests: I read. I laugh. I listen. Nuff said. No just kidding that's never enough is it? Listens to Good ol' Rock n' Roll..Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, The Doors (whose lead singer I absolutely adore), Rainbow, Dire Straits, The Who, Hendrix, The Beatles, Queen..music from the Sixties to the Seventies..basically if your dad heard it then I'm still listening to it. Also gets major kicks outta Dream Theater, who has to be the best prog metal band around, and Iron Maiden. Reads Neil Gaiman (his stories are life-changing), Umberto Eco (this Italian is an amazing writer..go check him out) Oscar Wilde and a dozen other writers who have managed to influence the modern literary world. If you read, speak to me. I love "Get Fuzzy".
Expertise: Conjures silly analogies, creates similes and concocts situations as ridiculous as a skunk in a sack of rice. Actually it could be a sack of wheat too but it is only logical I adopt an Asian context. The skunk makes sure it not only reads silly, it smells silly too.

| So with a coupla months left on my phone plan and a handset that's slowly but surely dying, I thought I'd check out other plans and of course, other phones to replace my obsolete-before-it-left-factory piece. Off to the Singtel website, all decked out in festive html and flash programs. The phones look great! The promotions are myriad! But my god is the interface the suck. It seems holding a degree in programming is a prerequisite to navigating the site. But once I graduated (barely) from a degree in Singtel site navigation, I was on a roll. Then as I gawked and gaped at the brilliant Blackberrys, the ironic individualism of the iPhones and various other sleek and classy looking phones, the price plans persistently gnawed at my mathematical and practical faculties. There is no way in hell I am able to tabulate the various rates and costs of the add-ons (which on hindsight as I rant here, THAT probably is the whole point). Blackberrys and all their convenience is theoretically awesome, as is the iPhone and the hours of Tap Tap I KNOW I'll be playing nonstop, buttfuck, to have to figure out which plan you [need/want/would orgasm over] thanks to the gazillion free SMSes or phone time is a task for statisticians or quantum physics majors. Being a dime a dozen arts major, I only want a plan that wouldn't tear me a new asshole financially, and a new phone that lets me have plenty of fun. And then as frustration mounted (said frustration would have been greatly negated if any phone came with DOTA and/or L4D2), I realised that it's quite pointless getting a new phone and a new price plan. No fancy phone or bang for your buck plan is gonna change the fact that noone's gonna bother calling, messaging or contact me in the multifarious ways connectivity has been enhanced this decade.
So fuck that shit. When my phone dies, that's it. Nothing will change; I won't get messages I never received anyway, people can cancel on me without actually cancelling on me since there's no way I can be informed that anything has been cancelled, I can feel lonely assuaged by the fact that I don't have anything that's supposed to keep me connected with a world that doesn't need me around.
And then I'll die in peace. | | |

| 3 appointments in a day get cancelled at the last minute, for whatever reason. Nope, not pissed at all. I'm not taking my phone out any more too since it can't seem to work when I need it to.
If anyone needs to contact me, don't. | | |

"I don't have faith in faith.
I don't believe in beliefs.
You can call me faithless. You can call me faithless.
But I still cling to hope,
and I believe in love.
And that's faith enough for me. That's faith enough for me." - Rush, Faithless
That sums up my life for now. | | |
