from green to black

wishes and pictures

i'm really grateful i didnt pass up catharine lim's books
now that i have the time. she writes really well and
i'm thankful of the time machine effect that her stories
have. mrs. lim i'm pretty sure you have a huge fan base
so this number is just gonna wish for christmas for an
hour of your time. most probably to irritate you half
to death about your stories which have added colour and
depth and breadth to my overly futuristic world. i'd
probably embarrass you with wanting to know where you
get your inspiration for your books and or perhaps if
your protagonist usually resembles you in any little way.
i appreciate that some of the views and beliefs held by
some of your characters show a very realistic side that
is not dealt with but only in stories such as yours. i
wouldnt be so presumptious to assume you hold those views
but i really adore how you paint human traits like you do
in your books. oh but in one corner of the internet, just
let me say thank you in helping me know and appreciate
what we are and have, my lot in life and all the colourful
scenes of history that your books contain.

now that was part one.
its kindda late coz i've just finished reading the last of
the 'history' books which i promised myself i'd read. and
it was church before this where i had a good time with
alvan which i am thankfully to meet after all this time.
the play was good and i think mel stole the stage because
like good ole raj said smile and emote and she did. and they
asked what christmas wishes we had. i used 1 already and i
probably have a list of more but problem is, good old santa
probably cant deliver cause you dont gift wrap these things.
an immortal perfect body would be one, especially if you'd
have heard the greatest joke that i sustained the injury
while i was in the shower. scandalous huh? but to keep
certain impressionable minds safe the stoory goes like this.
i was showering without the heater and the rainy weather made
the water damn cold. so my leg muscle constricted so much
when i squatted that it disjointed the bones at my knee.
good joke huh. too much muscle la i said, the weather too
cold lah. but it still amazes me how such a thing could happen.

then i attended a traditional chinese wedding in malaysia on
the 23rd which showed me how weak my stomach was, coz i had a
little bit of roadside food which gave me the runs the next
day. probably because i didnt drink alcohol to kill the bad
stuff. had fun chatting with our group cause every1 was so
racial. wad do i mean? well almost every1 spoke malay,
some more terribly then others. so the joke was usually on
one of the chinese uncles whom we called a mountain chinese,
which was hilarious. really bet my malay would improve in
the given environment. haha. and for memories sake!
JKR = JANGAN KERJA RAJIN (dont work hard)
Jabatan Kerja Raya - malaysian public works.
you'd understand when you start wondering why the roadworks
are still incomplete on the same road after many years;)


then it comes to christmas again. which to me is utterly
depressing this year. no christmas cheer to spread. no cash
you see. i felt totally helpless and useless, 'surviving
on handouts' not exactly, but receiving more than my ego
can take. i mean this is the season for giving man! so
learn from my mistake kiddies, be more materialistic and
chase cash so you can be financially free instead of
spending your time trying to be a better person. doesnt give
as much benefits as being rich, and ah heng cheh couldnt
agree more right mrs lim? the rear windshield is broken
cause my brother reversed into a pole. damn big joke, cause
it really proves my point even if we have a singapore license
so what? our accident rate probably is the same as our
neighbours. at least they have a lack of license to justify
themselves. tho theres no fight if we talk figures since
they are all much bigger but the point stays that if you
still need to pay 'tuition fees' after your license you
might as well skip it and pay tuition right?

oh anyway i got a job at barker, which has been a joke
because i'm a science guy whos responsibility is to teach
the humanities. i'm not complaining about the company though
i hope that we will be able to tolerate the differing opinions.

merry christmas.
