Click 5. Just the girl I m looking for

With all the latest post commenting about just about any other random topics. I thought I just focus a little attention on one of my favorite past and current topic. Myself.

Firstly, anyone who thinks I am one of those 'popular' guys around going out almost everyday, well let me lay rest to that false theory. It's a fiction. My holidays has been one of slow pace and currently one of my biggest regret this hols is that I started lifting weights only just recently and not any earlier. Yup lifting weights equals going gym btw.

With all my 1987 peers going to the army already or waiting to do so. I thought it's high time i start putting on some training by myself instead of just being another young guy going into the army out of shape. Well thats not to say my army friends are out of shape, but i rather go NS in a good shape than a not so good one. Not to mention, solid motivation from Marcus Pereira the past week as well.

Well of course, a slight lack of height means i will never be as build as Brad Pitt......but well, we are all different aren't we.

Other than that, been seeing a few dvds recently and probably a movie today. www.imbd.com A great site to check the rating of any individual movie if you ever want to do so.

Other than that, nothing much for the moment. WIll be updating more soon

What I do, to make you fall for me

Alrite some sports news to spice up your boring life

Jean Alain Boumsong. Now in case you do not know him, this is the guy who did an 'air kick' while attempting to clear a ball and then subsequently wrestled liverpool's peter crouch onto the ground giving away a penalty and getting himself send off.

1) What the heck was he doing? that 'air kick' is the kinda mistake that i ocassionally do while playing soccer. This is French International

2) Why did he have to bring down peter crouch? Peter crouch runs his 100m in 16.2sec. Shoots the ball as well as Singapore's rafi ali. and is as strong as me. Crouchy wun have scored.

Another footballing jokes has to be Gary Neville.

So now the top 10 most overrated soccer player in the English League.

10) Micheal Tonge- The new steven gerrard, or supposedly. I wonder where he is now? Last time i saw him, he ran into a referee and was knocked down instead.

9) Gary Neville- One of the living example thats shows how far you can go in life as long as lady luck is smiling at you.

8) Phil Neville- Brother of no 9). One of my fren once said phil neville was better looking than a bald David Beckham.

7) Kavanngh- The white hair guy from wigan. I don't know how they had got away with playing this guy and still being 8th place. But i suspect they will suffer next season and they can thanks him when they are back in the championship.

6) Andy Todd- Blackburn is 6th place. Todd is Blackburn's captain. So is he their best player? Hardly.

5) A. Mokeano- South Africa youngest ever captain. He was compared to by a soccernet writer to be "the closest thing in the premiership to claude makelele" I wonder whether the writer had lost his job. Claude is now probably the fastest captain ever kickout of the South Africa team.

Thats all for today

With you, I be myself

We all pretend to be somebody we all not one time or another.

Some reasons why

1) We want to impress someone and think that the person will not like us for who we are, so we try to be somebody so that the person we like may possibly be more attracted to us.

2) We do not want our friends or people around us to know us for who we really are.

3) We want to imitate someone. For example, we may possibly want to be like Cristiano ronaldo/wayne rooney and therefore develop a kind of arrogance/confident that is attached to these two people.

4) We are sick of being ourselves.


many more.

The points that I have pointed out might seem really common, maybe you even tell yourself "hey i seen this or i read this shit before". But look carefully. I assure everyone that you can relate to at least two of the above 4. In other words, you experience at least 2 before.

1) and 2) are pretty common. It is generated usually because we feel we are not as good as wat we think people expect us to be. And dun go fooling yourself that u never been like that once before. Everyone reading this have certainly tried to be someone they are not just so their friends/crush will think better of them.

One word of advice. If you have a bf or gf and you still feel the need to impress them.....well, ermm...good luck, you probably need it.

3) is simple, basically we see someone on Tv. Perhaps David Beckham, Morten Gamst Pedersen, Britney Spears, Jamie Spears and we think hmmm it be great to be like them. And so we do. The consequences? not much actually. Just that you look like a loser when people find out.

If u suffer from 4). Whoa! I shall write about it another time, but its not the end of the world dun worry. You can either seek professional help or wait till i have time to do my 'research' .

The Possiblities

Reading http://dineshdayani.blogspot.com reminded me of one of my all time favorite topics. The demand of equality for Woman.

If 'equality' is ever achieve with regards to the two genders, than it would most likely mean the rights of man being compromised in the process.

Firstly what is the meaning of 'equality'? Well the general feeling would be that neither gender gets any extra favour with regards to just about every aspect of life. So there should be no reason why 90% of politicians should be males. There also should not be any reasons why 95% of CEOs are males and certainly no reasons why 100& of constructions people are males.

But here comes the defination of 'equality' from female. " There should be fairness among both gender in everything, but female should be 'protected' " For example, females should be 'protected' from army and need not serve NS unlike males. However should they want to join the army, the army have to grant them an 'equal' opportunity as their male counterparts. Also in the case of a divorce, despite both husband and wife having an 'equal' opportunities to work and established their career, the husband, or should i say ex-husband have to provide an allowance to his ex-wife to 'protect' her while she enjoys life with a younger and possibly better looking guy.

Now notice the word 'equal'. In the context of enlisting for Army, it does not mean that both males and females will be evaluted the same way. It however does means that if 50 male and 50 female both sign up for the army for 10 places ( if that ever happen). 5 places should be given to males, 5 to female. Should only 3 places be granted to female, it will mean the army is a place that practises discrimination. 'Equal' does not mean being fair and seeing both party without gender. 'Equal' means that the female should have a similar chance of obtaining something as the male despite her being possibly weaker and less capable.

The same however does apply the other way. You do not hear a man complaining to the Society for Men's Right (SMR) about how despite his better education qualifications and superior working experience, he lost out in a secretary posititon to a woman. Now man do not ask " hey that is unfair, the bloody boss favours the lady over me, this company practise discrimination". Why not, because man understand one simple concept better than woman, Life is not suppose to be fair.

If you don't understand my post, you are missing out.

Out of curiousity, I just went to check out what temesak holdings owned. This is what i discovered.

SingTel-63%
MediaCorp-( the company that owns all the free to air channels in singapore)-100%
StarHub-63%
Capital Land-43%
DBS-28%
SIA-57%
PSA-100%
SMRT-55%
Singapore Power-100%
Tuas Power-100%

all information from http://www.temasekholdings.com.sg/index.htm

and many more.

Well since Temasek Holdings owns so many important companies within Singapore such as SMRT, i will like to raise a question, are they responsible for the actions of the company they owned?

For example, If SMRT hike MRT price citing increase cost in 'staff salaries' and increase cost in 'maintence' after the elections, and the government does it's usual response of saying that they do not have control over 'privately' owned company. Who do we blame for the hike? Who make the decision to hike price.

1)Do we blame the government? who in their defences said they do not owned the company

2)Do we blame the management of the SMRT and their CEO? Well the usual assumption is to blame them since it would most likely be them who imposed the decision to hike price.

3)But then since Temesek Holdings owned SMRT, should it not be them who be blamed? Should we citizens blamed the hike on the CEO of Temaesk Holdings ,Ho Ching and the board of directors?

My answer.....SCREWED IT! If SMRT hike the fare, the only people who deserve to get blamed are naive Singaporeans above the age of 21, people who every five years decides to grant Politicians with so much power in Singapore with even more power.

Like they say, You reap what you sow.
