Nemesia... Death Star

I love watching documentaries and last night proved to be one reason why.... I learned that scientists suspect that our sun.... you know the bright, hot thing in our sky?? It may have a binary sister.... I did not say twin sister hor... Stars with binary partners are not uncommon in the universe.

So this binary sister is supposed to be close enough that it will jiggle some rocks in the Ort cloud, (a cluster of rocks... some as big as a planet) far far far away... at the edge of our solar system... So..... if we truly have such an evil sister star and it is causing all the mass extinctions, let us consider this.... What is the ultimate future of us human beings? And if we are all destined to go the way of the dinosaurs.... what do we do?

Well.... personal thought... jus F**k it and just have all the fun and all the sex and hedony as we can till we all die... we will die anyway.... right???

Anyway... back to Nemesis... it is the name given to this star, but it may not even be a star.... it may be more like Jupiter.. a gas giant.... seems like most of the further out planets are more of clumps of gas rather than rock like Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.... If this is so, it will be more difficult to find... but no matter what... isn't tv interesting???

Hhehehehee... Cheers and peace out.

This is truly shocking and unacceptable!!!

Well fans... I am seriously stressed out about a certain energizer rabbit... As I told you yesterday, she went and took out some money from our joint account because she feels that $750 a month for her is not enough... How the hell does one spend $750 and not even go out or do anything? Now I hear that she has been telling the maids that we have a heck of a lot of money and that if anything happened to her, they can have her money. Who the f**k does she think she is? Madam Queen Latifa Mother of Persia? Does she even know how hard it is to earn and save $10? The big problem is that our gahmen, the people we elect into power do not care about us middle income earners...uuuhhh wait... do they care at all??

I would have loved it if there were a geriatric centre in the middle of at least every cluster of flats. So that the aged can go for some inter-mingling and also some form of life. But energizer has no life. So she has to find reasons to live, eg "looking after" the kids and so on... Julian is 8 now and he has to start to look after himself. But old crazy wants to feed him and manja him... Wait till my baby comes to Sg... she will amble to my place and say that she wants to look after her too. And that will be the start of so much problems and so much grief as she will want to do things her way... no matter how wise or unwise that is.... Actually, for her, nothing is wise anymore because she does not really use her brains anymore.

I do not mean it in any demeaning fashion. It is just that her brain is not working anymore either by choice or by default. Anyway... so back to being unacceptable and shocking.. if she dies and the maids come and said aunty told them they could have her money... I will dig up all her bloody remains and den rebury them again in a most uncomfortable manner. Imagine... now in this bad economic times, there are so many robbers and bad people around. And yet she wants to flaunt what she has... And maids are maids.... How can you trust them so much??? Well, the thing is, if any maid were to kidnap her and ask for money.... it is not that I want to be mean... but I will say that I do not have any money... and leave her to them... it will be less costly.And more convenient.

Been away for a while

For the past few weeks, I've been pretty damn busy. At least now I have a bit of time to breath. By meaning of breating, I mean only for a little while.

I was out completely yesterday because I had spent the weekend in JB doing some congress stuff. And only came back on Sun evening. Talk about work and being busy huh....

The big problem was also that I found out that my energizer rabbit went to the bank and withdrew 1k from our joint account. I was pretty devastated. In a way I was hoping that it will not happen, but in the end, it did.... And it will start the flood gates if I am not careful. I am gonna give her my half of the $700 mthly allowance. And if it is not enuf, it will unfortunately start a series of events which will turn extremely ugly. If I find that she has withdrawn another 1k, I will unfortunately have to take even more serious measures. Spending is like a disease. You have to cure it. Because she thinks that we are al very rich, she will not want to save. I think that even if she wants to, she does not know how because her concept of money is totally gone.


And this is where the problem will lie. Like I have always said, if the money runs out, then life cannot continue. I am already pretty freaked out about her inability to think things thru. I am afraid of her going downstairs by the flying or leaping method instead of using the lift... As mentioned before, when a person's mind fails, they tend not to see things or think things thru.If she could think things thru, then she will not have spoilt my air con vent. Because I know that the old ladies must have felt cold and must have wanted to change the direction of the vent... But of course again, you can and should only do it with the remote and not forcing it... So she forced it and broke the clip and I had to pay for a new one... Which she claims is already 2 plus yrs old and should spoil anyway... Which is farking stupid logic because I would not want anything to be spoilt no matter how bloody old they are.

I hate to see people waste money... Especially now when you do not know when you may be out of a job and if you will be able to draw your next pay check.Like I always say, you have to plan your finance because if not, when shit happens, you will or may not be able to pay for it.... Imagine... if wife has to give birth and I do not have the money... Or child is sick and needs treatment and we do not have the money....

Having spare and savings is never a bad thing. But even my sis has the very bad habbit of spending too much. She bought a BM claiming that she can get a few k back for getting rid of her Esteema and it ends up that she will pay over 30k in interest rates and the car will end up slightly less expensive than mine. And then she will send her eldest son and her husband to NZ by the end of the year to start him off there and so on.... It will all take money.... so shoudl she not save now? When my mom sees this, like a child... she will go.... "oooohhhh everyone so rich" and she will spend lor.... which drives me crazy.... How the hell can they think in such short term...

Anyway... I will chill out and start to distance myself. And be prepared to cut everything if I really have to... because this sinking ship could bring us all down.... So my frens and all my dears readers.... having the responsibility of bringing up a family or leading a family really sucks... and having a family that does not listen sucks even more.....

Still hungover from the wierdness

Let me tell you something boys and girls.... Wierd is not the word I should use in my life right now... but it is... Guess what??? As mentioned before, I know my baby girl's birthday, which will be the 29th of May 2009... So the possibilities and the permutations are 2959 and 2905.... right? Your uncle bought a lot during this weekend... but all the wrong bloody numbers.... I bought 2969 because I still thought that my baby will be born in June... crap... eat shit and die Mikey......

So the wierdness continues.... I am just wondering when such small happenings will end... I am not freaked out about it or whatever, but it is interesting... hehehehehehehe

Continuation:

I jus spoke to the old wife and she was just telling me that everytime when we speak, either on the phone or thru the internet, my baby stops moving.... Perhaps she is shit scared of me... or she is trying to listen in... But it does not happen to anyone else... Only with me... Maybe she knows daddy is speaking and she has to listen.... But dear me... when she comes out, it will be a different story all together..... hehehehe... I am sure that she will be yapping and talking all the time... So it will be my turn to tell her to shut it.....

Why I can't drive a WRX

I have been mulling with the idea for some time now.... Would a WRX not be a more fierce car to drive? After all, with its boxer engine... the sound is definitely nicer and fiercer... But then I realized one thing.... thank god I did not... (not that I can anyway)... Why?? Well because of the scoop..... Now even with the X, the bucket seats or sports seats or whatever you call them are so low that my coins... my handphone and other things from my pockets can slide into the space between the seat and the flooring.... Which is a bummer....

So what happens if you have a scoop on the hood??? Short people will not be able to see over it... hehehehehe.... not a joke my frens... and it is also very dangerous....

Imagine... wen I first got the X and had not raised the seat... my uncle fren from the petrol kiosk told me he was wondering if he was seeing a ghost car because the car vrooommmedd into the kiosk... but he could not see the driver.... Lols.... maybe it is the way the car was built... to protect the driver from side impact.... or maybe because I am short... but whatever it is.... I have problems with a lot of blind spots till I put many many mirrors all around... Now at least it is better...

Wierd weekend

Well coming off a wierd weekend, I would only like to say that life goes on... Anyway, V jus mentioned a very strange thing to me... He said that his dad's birthday is 29th May and that his dad said if he were to be re-born, he would like to be a girl... And guess what?? Christina Komatsu Yeo, my daughter is supposed to be born on the 29th and she is a girl... So what was he driving at?? My daughter is is his father??? Man this will be wierd....hehehhee

And to make things wierder.... Isn't it wierd that my daughter's birthday will be determined? In the sense that most couples will more or less know when their little baby is coming out, but ours is already confirmed to be on the 29th.... hehehe... shiok hor... but it is actually a good thing and a bad thing lah.... Gud is that I will see my little one earlier... bad is that it will cost me so much more... hahahaha... Sori lah... but all I keep for now I can spend for later....

So instead of talking about EDD (Expected Date of Delivery)... I am speaking in the sense of confirmed date of delivery... But of course anything can happen and the date can be earlier... The drs do not want my wife to have a normal birth as she will lose too much blood if she does so... So perhaps if there is any pre-mature delivery... they will still cut... But at least the date is well ahead of the real expected date of 13th June, so it should be ok... In another way... Christina will not be born on the 13th, so it will be better also... hehehehe... imagine this.."Papa... can I have a birthday party??" "Nope.... 13th is very unlucky number"... hahahahahahahaha

I am not superstitious lah... I do not care for the number 13... and actually my own birthday makes up 13.... 1st of March... 1.3.... hee heee and I have no complaints.... I am not sure if 1968 was a leap year... but I know my mom had a long delivery... so if I were unlucky.... mom starts labour on 29th Feb... and I came out then.... boy I will only officially be 20 yrs old... hahahahaha

I am still having a wierd hangover from a wierd weekend... man... I gotta get outa dis rut.....

Owe $ Pay $

Ladies and Gentlemen... This was written on your walls if you borrowed from a loanshark and could not pay... Chicken heads.. pigs heads and all other heads would be hung on your gate if you still did not pay..

Now not only is the hanging or painting illegal... the actual borrowing of money from an unauthorised money lender may become illegal also... hmmmmm... interesting... If you need money..., u go to some place... u must get a stamp of approval that the place is authorised... or else.....

But actually... if I did not have a job, had to feed family and send children to school and jus needed something to tide me over till my next cheque comes in... will a proper money lending place give me the money??? Ooops I mean lend me the money? Nope... probably they will check your credit status, then your consolidated balance sheet, CPF contributions... blah blah blah... and then tell you... "Sorry mate... you are a credit risk and as such we cannot lend you any money"... so back to square one after that charade of checks... So where can we borrow money from? If our relatives are in similar situations, they will be of no help... If our friends are also of similar situation, they will also be of no help... Can we approach any tom dick or Mary to lend us the money? Nope... I guess not too... So we are screwed...

There are avenues... CDC's or some other local govt arms and NGO's but then lets face it... with so many in desperate need right now... I do think that they are swamped... And even if they are swatting flies because their acronyms are so mysterious that some people mistake them for a multi level marketing company and dare not enter the doorway, they will still not lend us any money because if we were such a credit risk before... it will not change the situation now...

Let us take an extreme example... Mr Lim Ah Kao has finished uni... he just married the girl of his dreams, bought the HDB flat of his dreams, joined the company of his dreams and bought the KIA or Hyundai of his dreams... Now his whole world is collapsing because of the fact that his child is now diagnosed with some form of wierd disease and the doctor wants 30k to treat the child... Mr. Lim Ah Kao is leverged up to his eyeballs and beyond... can he approach the banks and ask for some cash? Does he have anything in his CPF or Medisave?? Can he use the whole amount in the first place? So he is now so royally screwed that he must be wishing that he dreamt less when he could.... Where can he find money? His parents have already waved the white flag because they are still trying to pay off his study loan and his stupid wedding dinner... Of course he has to repay them somehow too... His friends? Well if we as human beings hang out with people who are surprisingly similar... So friends wise... they can't help....

Will he approach the MP and ask for help? What can the MP do? His neighbours?? He just moved in... So he is up sh*t creek without as much as a paddle... Maybe he has to ask the "illegal money lenders".. No choice... and of course the repayment will be so unreasonable he will wish doubly that he should not have dreamt for so much... So how?

A feeling of dispair... or is it worry

I just had pretty worrying news today, my wife shows signs that she will hemorrhage badly and the doctors are so sure that they already set a date for ceaserean and also asked her to prepare her own blood for transfusion. So it seems kinda scary... But then if that biatch dares to die on me and leave me with a baby in my hands.... I will have my hedonistic ways with it man... Jus joking lah...

But the thing is... its a good thing I have slowing trying to save for a rainy day... the op will cost about 10k SGD... where to find so much money at this time??? And people think that they are in the midst of a recession. But seriously speaking... even if I tell this to Energizer rabbit, she will not understand.... The other day, she asked for some cash so that she could buy some small stuff and also to give some tips... So her loving son changed 150 Euro and 50 USD... That a heck of a lot of small change and tips... and she called back claiming it was not enough.... $%^&*(&%^&*()_$%^& lets see that woman earn so much money... And she was claiming that it was so unfair that I was shouldering so much responsiblity and so on... and the next day she calls up asking for a digital camera... Everyone swears that they know she has a silver camera... but she says she does not have it... and she was saying I was so poor thing.... Yea.... guess what... she was playing mahjong on Saturday too... So she says one thing and thinks another... if she thinks at all....

Haizzzz... that is the curse of my life lor.... But then the big thing is that even being cursed... I am also looking at the positive side of things... So I can get to see my daughter earlier... and she will cost me a bloody bomb... There is still the 6k waiting for the next IVF cycle as the money paid cannot be refunded... Oh well... wat the heck... No wonder people do not want to have children in Singapore.


Wait... my girl will be born in Japan... same thing lah... f**king ex lah.... But looking at the bright side... wife does not have to undergo labour... so it is cut and pop and done... hopefully the bleeding is not too bad and then she gets well after that... I will be giving her plenty of my company's products after and before she gives birth. So instead of waiting for hours and hours... I only need to go out for a few sticks and she should be done... hehehehehe.... and because there is no birth through the ahem ahem... her hip will not be mis-aligned and she can get back to shape more easily..... Bright side... bright side.....

Well wish me luck.....
