Life goes on

My life is quite on the low side now. My sis-in-law, who married almost a full year afer me, will be giving birth to a son sometime this week. What happened to me and my wifey? Well, in total I have been with her for the past 2 plus years, a total or no more than half a year. She came this month and will be away again from the 8th og Jul. Total time together..... 3 weeks. The big problem is that the ticket will be considered as open and it will be very expensive. I can also apply for PR status for her, but I am almost always on a business trip, so having her here will be more troublesome. Of course it is not troublesome for me, but all the TV programmes are in English, people speak to her in Mandarin and the food is usually spicy here. So in order to preserve her sanity, I have to bite the bullet and send her back to her Japanese home.

Further to this, with the strain of my workload and also not being able to be with wifey, we are not able to "produce" children.

But like I said, life goes on. I am under great pressure to produce children, but I have decided that if we cannot produce this year, we will buy a monkey and bring it up.... hahahaha.... Hey boys and girls.... a monkey is both smart and intelligent and all you need to do is to give peanuts and bananas. I do not mean any reference to the NKF saga hor. I mean literally peanuts for a monkey and no need for any education.

Anyway, seriously speaking.... I am getting tired. I d not know why I feel this way. Maybe it is just that I have been having a lot of problems and worries and also life has not exactly been going my way. But life is like that. It is easier to give up than to slog on and fight on. So my gentle readers.... Do hang in there and do not give up okay?

Getting sick of waiting for my stupid car

End May, early June has comed and passed. The promised Evo delivery date has also come and gone. So where is the damn thing? When is it coming? What the bloody hell is the SE doing about it?

He is still groping for his balls and wondering how to explain to me I think. I already scored a set of Defi meters, a turbo timer, boost controller, set of window panels and reverse sensor from him on signing. Now I will insist that the products be HKS and or I will not sign the delivery order.... Don get the Evo only lor..... But if he can throw in the Sat Nav system... it will be sweet man.....

Actually I am stumped by the service standards of some Sillypore people. There was this survery done a little while ago saying that the service standards of Sillyporeans have improved... I am just wondering who actually bothered to answer this survey and how impartial was it?

If you went into a shop, you will still see people trying their best not to serve you.... If you went into a restaurant, it is the same thing. But of course, with the increase in prices..... Who in his or her right mind would want to go out and spend more money man??? Furthermore, although the so called "experts" say that inflation is goin to be 6% or thereabouts, it is like the survey.... Where the hell did those figures come about? Okay... maybe our salaries increased a bit so that will offset the rise in food prices and fuel prices.... but it will not be enough. I was thinking that if I actually got the evo.... I would be really up shit's creek if I were not very careful with my finances.

A sombre note

Not all my posts are perhaps happy and bright, however, today's post will be a very sombre one. I have decided to send my little energizer rabbit to a mental institution. The reason is because she is no more in control of her thoughts and or of her self. She has been spending a lot of money for a very long time. She has always had a reason to spend, be it for the family and so on. Nowadays, I am trying to stop her from spending because she spends SGD$2k a month without batting a wrinkled eyelid. This is scary for me because if I were to die, who would give her such money? I do not want to be a ghost or spirit and see her on the streets begging. If she cannot control her spending, it will end up in that.

Lately, she has been hiding money here and there and complaingin that she lost it. Our maid found it under her pillow. She even told the maid that she has100k in the bank, which I find is a very scary piece of fact to share with a maid.

She now paints herself in a very pitiful light saying that all she spends on is on her medication and seeing doctors and then her mahjong. It is okay is she spends 1k on all of this. This amount is that of a very well to do tai tai. However, she asks from me and my sis and in all, she gets over 2k a month in cold hard spending cash!!! If she cannot account for it and also cannot even justify it, imagine the injustice she is doing to all the poor people in this world who have to live on much less!!!!

She is not even taking her medication as her condition is not improving!!!

So I have made a decision to intervene perhaps in the most cruel of ways. To put her in a mental institution for the time being. If not, it is too dangerous for us all to even ponder. It is a hrd choice for anyone to make, however, to have an uncontrollable adult and the possibility that the adult will brig ruin to her children is not a choice I can make easily. She mentioned today during an argument that childen are supposed to save money. She is so old and should be allowed to spend money. Does she know how much or how long we can survive on 2k cold hard cash????? If she can promise me that she will die in 1 year from now,I will take the hit and allow her to spend 24k!!! But like I said.... she is th fucking energizer rabbit and she goes on and on and on and on..... If she lives for 5 years.... that is 120k..... Even a patient on chemotherapy does not spend so much every month man!!!!

So I am sorry if I sound like a bastard son. But if I do sound like one... so be it.... I want to see you try to support a blood sucking and life suckin leach for the past 6 years and having three quarters worth of your life sucked out just like that.

Mountain Tortoise, Monkey, Pig and other animals

No my dear reader, I am not interested in starting a zoo or whatever. It is just that my previous post about the mountain tortoise, (sua ku or one who has not experienced new things) has got me thinking about various animals of the same nature.

So here is my shot at such animals:

1) Sua ku or mountain tortoise:
He or she will go on board a plane.... "waaaaahhhhh" "waaaahhhh" here and "waaaah" "waaaaahhh" there. How to use the headphones? How to use this and that..... They are really lost because this is the first time they experience such things. I am not against such people because there is a first time for everything and you cannot pretend that you weren't a bit over-awed yourself in your first time. There was once a flight from Vietnam and the passengers did not even know how to lock the doors. So nothing against sua kus... other than better learn how to adapt soonest possible.

2) Sua Hou or mountain monkey: Ahem ahem... inclusive of yours truly who is a monkey... this creature is damned smart... so no matter how over-awed he is.... or even if it is his first time using something... he will not show that he is stumped.... He will wait in the background or pretend to be doing something, then learn how to use whatever he does not know how to use by looking and seeing how others use it... And very soon, he also knows how to use the object and shows even a proficiency in using it.... Typical example... the first time I got my tiptronic car... Did not know how to engage it at all... Fiddled around like a sua ku fora while... then managed to engage gear.... sounds really scary.... but don wori... mountain monkeys do not let other people know they do not know how to use... hahahahahaha

3) Sua Der or mountain pig: This boor is one of the worst mountain animals..... He has not seen the object before, does not know how to use it.... and is still very yayapapaya about it.... (Sillypore slang for very arrogant) He will brag that his own is better. Like for example.... a car.... If Mr. Village elder from the provincial town of Idoncare in I donknow where comes to Sillypore.... he will see many new buildings and technology.... he will brag that althoug he is from a backward town of God knows where..... and there may not be any running water... he is fully proficient in using the lift or the television.... and he will spoil it and then blame it on shoddy workmanship..... He may even ask you to give it to him to bring home since it is already spoiled and you do not need it anyway.

4) I don't know how to call a donkey in Mandarin or dialect... but the last creature is the mountain donkey: This animal is so butt stupid and or stubborn that no matter how many times you teach him to use a certain new fangled thing.... he still does not know.... Duuuhhhhhhhh...... I do not know whether to be sad or to be angry... but such people do tend to make our lives a little more interesting whenever e meet them.......

Well hope you enjoyed this little tour of our animal kingdom... if you have any more animals to add to the mountain area... please feel free to comment.

Long time gone

It has been a fragging long time since I last wrote here. That's because I've really been busy and also have been flying a lot too.... I have been averaging 2 flights a month since the beginning of the year.

I have also not seen my wifey...(though we see every night on yahoo) since CNY.... actually... my car has also been in the workshop since then.... booo hooo.. I've been a deprived guy for so long....... (oi don think funny things hor)

But then I was just makig noise to my SE because the delivery of my Evo X is also not known.... I feel so handicapped without my loves.... No car.. no wife.... haizzzzz life is not complete man.....

But then come to think of it, many people will be so glad when they are free from their wives.... Can play around... can do anything they want... but then... even though I came into this wedding bound and gagged... virtually hor... since you know that I did not even propose to wifey properly when she dropped the bombshell on me, I still feel that once we have made a commitment, we have to abide by it.

Anyway, back to my life so far.... I have been travelling so much that my health is not that great anymore.So that led me to the conclussion that life is not all about money or status or other materials things. A lot of people will envy others just bcause they have a nice house, car or whatever. Some may even envy others for their possessions. I had a few people saying..."Wah you have a Japanese wife ah"? but then what is a show if the show is a scam? And livin a lie is tantamount to lying about life.

I am sure that many people will agree with me on this because living a lie means you have to remember which lie you told to who and when. I do not like to be caught out this way. So I am always open, to all my frend and even my wife. If I were to go out wth a fren, I will tell her... If not, when she calls, I have a lot to explain about to her. What for?

One interesting thing about my last flight was that I sat on Business class and it was shiok. Though I have been on countless business class, I am regional so have never taken a long haul business class. (Boss really giam kana.... stingy lah)... But it was really comfortable man..... The seat was so big I could sit lenghtwise on it. It could also be converted to a bed and the screen was so large.... as large a a small tv.... man this is the life.... but of course the price of the ticker can feed a small family for a few months.... which is true lor..... the amount of money we spend for travel is huge... Be it for work or for pleasure. But think of the poor family who has even trouble going to Malaysia for a family trip... That is why as Singapreans, we must also remember our roots... We were never that well off before. So now even if we are well off, we must remember what it took to get us here.

Well, just came to say that I am back and will have a longer blog the next day when I am more free.
