Dear Telemarketer...

1. I am not your girlfriend, boyfriend, father or mother. If I missed your calls I missed your calls deliberately, so don't try to call back every half hour.

2. Just in case you don't know, well I don't supposed you do, I work the night shift, i.e I need to sleep during the day, so don't go round trying to call me in the morning when I was about to slip into a slumber, or afternoon when I was in deep sleep, or any other minute of the day for that matter.

3. Please keep using private numbers because I now barred annonymous calls.

4. If I rejected your offer, please don't ask me why.

5. And if I rejected your offer again, please don't tell me how good your product is because that is not the point.

6. And if I rejected your offer politely, you are lucky. But God knows when you will be out of luck. Maybe the next phone call to me.

7. And hello dear telemarketer, please don't ask if I have a minute to listen to your crap because I will surely say NO!

8. If I answered your call in silence, please don't try to do the same. It will only irate me even more.

9. If you can't get through my handphone, please don't bother to call my house phone.

10. And certainly not the last point, if you decided to call me again and again after so many missed calls, please be prepared to be hollered at, by me.


All these crap calls. Who wouldn't be pissed? And God knows where did they get my number from!

Sianzzz...

Yet another disappointment.

This is the nth time that I'm not getting a house. Because all the okay units were all taken up. Only those units with stupid architectural design were up for grabs. Forget it man! I hate HDB! Damn you all!

Songs of the Sea

Finally. Something which I, as a SGer, can be (a little bit) proud of.

It's been a while, like 20 years, since I last watched the Musical Fountain in Sentosa. I could vaguely remember what it was like, except for the splashing water dancing to the rhythm of the music.
But now, for the first time in 20 years, I stepped foot onto what is now known as the Songs of the Sea. Admission fee is 6 SGD. It's like a show akin to those live shows you watch when you go to Disneyland or Warner Brothers or Universal Studios.

Instead of a big stage with fountains, like it was in the past, the Songs of the Sea was aptly staged at the beach near the sea. I was treated to a feast of water works, pyrotechnics, fire works, laser shows and projections on the water fountains. All these displays were cleverly weaved into the story. All my senses were awakened with the sounds of the music and sights of the colourful displays. It was beautiful and mesmerizing. I must say that I was pretty touched. It was better than I had expected. The only nitpick I find was that, since it is a live show, then it would be better for the performers to perform live dialogues and songs, instead of pre-recording. Only then, would this show be comparable to the others worldwide. And it would also make the whole performance richer and fuller.

Urge

Oh no. My nomadic syndrome is acting up again. No, no, no, no. I must suppress it!

Wordless

I wonder why can't people be truthful and sincere to one another?
There he is, holding hands with another girl, while the Real McCoy happily thinks that he is the man for her. Pitiful, that such a nice girl should end up with such a lousy person.

Another D & D

Yet another Dinner & Dance. This year, it was held in Sentosa's Siloso Beach. A Hawaiian-themed beach party, that is. Food definitely sucked, and can't feed the hundreds of stomachs out there. And they called it a buffet? Food was gone in less than 30 minutes.

The only consolation was that the emcees for the night was the Flying Dutchman and Mark Lee. They were hilarious. And the performance by Singapore's very own drag queen, Kumar, was fantastic. His stand up comedy was, well, as politically incorrect as his image. But he was really funny and I laughed and laughed, with my mouth opened so big you can shove your fist in it.

Other than these, the rest wasn't really worth mentioning.

A Lesson Hopefully Learned

I had paid a high price, for trying to be different.

A high price.
