Two bitches and a gentleman

I was on the way by train to meet SO at the PC show. On this train, sitting next to me are two young teen girls around 12-15 years old. They were wearing this barely there tops and skimpy shorts. And they were chatting loudly and playing their music loudly from their phones.

Such stupid bitches. Normally I am bothered by such incessant playing of music loudly in such confined places. I would either move away or give them funny bitchy, dagger looks. Once I even went to the train staff to complain that these youngsters are disturbing the peace!

But this time, there was no train staff in sight. Luckily I was listening to my music from my phone using earphones, so i was still able to tune out most of their loud peasant music.

Frankly, do parents just let their daughters dress like sluts when they go out? That's why I dun have children, particularly daughters! These days, girls are sometimes so uncontrollable.

----------------------------------

I was at the train station entrance leading to the main road. There was this caucasian guy walking in front. As he exited the doorway, he held the door open for me! I was so touched! There are a certain distance between him and me and he actually waited up for me and held the door for me. I did thanked him but I was not sure if he heard me cos I was a bit shocked and I mumbled.

Frankly, I do hold doors open for the people behind me, provided that they are not too far off. But this distance today, for me, I would have just walked off. Yeah...I am ashamed!

That gentleman really made my day!

Making of a little bitch

SO's sister has 2 young daughters. Both are below 8. Ch was about 1 to 2 years older than Cl. According to grandma, Cl was the more favored child cos she was prettier than her sister (and also a better ass kisser/suckup). This Cl is a little bitch in the making. Despite her tender age, she is a spiteful little bully bitch. For example she would hide her older sister's toys or stuff, even destroying them so Ch could not play with them.

She would also often do stuff, steal things and then blame it on the elder sister. Wat a little bitch! She is about 6 or so only, so where is she learning all things from? Tv? Her mama? Gosh. If she is like that now, imagine her 5 or 10 years later. If she could do spiteful things at a young age to her very own sister, what havoc would she do to others?

Please, this is not being naughty, this is spite and pure jealousy. At her age, I dun think I was even capable of such actions much less such spiteful thoughts.

The following incident was told to me by SO, as narrated by his mother.
Grandma visits them during the day when the parents are working. One day, Cl wanted chicken rice for lunch. Grandma said....tomorrow, cos the maid has cooked lunch. Cl went sulking to the room, not before demanding chicken rice for lunch the next day.

The next day, grandma visited them again. This time, Cl asked....where's my chicken rice? Grandma said she did not buy cos maid has already prepared lunch! Cl stormed off....screaming at grandma..."Then tomorrow, you better buy 3 packets of chicken rice!"

What a little bitch! At this age, such diva behaviour! Mind you, this is a little girl who pecks at her food. SO had meals with her before on special occasions like birthdays etc...and she had to be fed by the mother or maid, otherwise she would not eat! And during grandma's birthday last month, she had a fried fritter on the way there and she could not eat her dinner other than a few mouthfuls!

And this little diva dared to ask for 3 packets of chicken rice! Can she even finish half a pack? Screaming at her grandma! What a brat!

Yet this little girl is terrified of her father. Once she broke something, grandma threatened to tell her father, and she went into hysterical sobbings...please dun tell papa...Obviously her papa is the disciplinarian in the family.

And when SO visits, this little girl always go all mute, hiding in corners, refusing to speak. And at the slightest approach from strangers or relatives other than her immediate family, would burst into tears.

And did i forget to mention that she likes to cry? Sobbing if she is confronted by her parents if she bully her sister? Gosh...this little bitch is going to grow up to be a typical woman.

Frankly, that's why I dun have children. Some children can be demons these days. If Cl is my daughter or even granddaughter, I am not going to stand for this type of bitchy bully/diva behavior at this age! She is not even a teen yet! When she becomes a teen, she is going to be a handful!

And yes, I will buy you that 3 packets of chicken rice. And you little bitch are going to have nothing for breakfast, lunch and dinner until you finish all that chicken rice!

SO told me I am wicked and thank god, we dun have children, otherwise they turn out not to be bitchy divas but whimpering idiots.

That I dun mind. What I do mind is you cannot become a spiteful bitch at this tender age. Childhood is suppose to be innocent and trouble free, not plotting against your sister cos you are jealous. You are already the prettier one and the more favored one, what else do you want?

You can be a spiteful bitch when you are in your teen!

But then luckily she is not my daughter, so why should I bother! Ha!

Buying a printer

Going to the PC show tomorrow. Decide to brave the crowd for a printer, a micro SD card and a Creative Xmod.

So far, i have narrowed down the printers to the final 4. I have been wanting to get a multifunction print/scan device for a while.

Epson seems not very common. It seems almost obsolete, based on number of reviews.

Canon MP620 weighs 10kg but since meeting SO, he would be the one carrying it. Ha!

How to deal with mad barking dog

The way to deal with a mad barking dog is to just let it bark. When it grows tired of barking, it will stop. The fact that a barking dog is abusive shows he lacked composure. In the end, the one to lose out is him.

Barking dogs dun bite. Biting dogs dun bark!

P.S. I am not really talking about dogs.

Blow the whistle for Foolz Part 2

The papers emailed me back.

The reporter asked if it was possible to obtain contact details of Foolz's family. She asked if there was any reason I thought the acne medication could have caused the complications leading to her death?

Frankly, how do I know? I was not a personal friend of Foolz. We are members of a forum and we sort of chatted online on some topics. That's all. So no...i dun have any contact information on her family. I did provide some links to the forum and some of her friend's blogs. Hope the reporter can get the information from there.

As for why i think acne medication could have caused the complications. Nothing, except some nagging suspicions. Foolz was a healthy 24 y/o girl. She had a fever one day, few days later, she went into a coma which she never woke.

And she was taking acne medication! It could just be a rare isolated case like SO said. But is that the real cause? When you cannot find the reason for a death, doctors just pin point viral infection? What sort of virus? Is it infectious?

Will the truth ever come out or should Foolz just died in vain? Did she died in vain or was it really just time to go?

I took a risk in blowing the whistle. This is the first time i emailed any papers for any type of story. I did not provide any contact information of mine. I am not into this to win any prize or get my own name into the papers. I dun have any personal agenda on this.

I just want to know how a healthy 24 y/o girl can just get a fever and died a few days later.
That's all!

Old Photos of Bell

These are old photos of Bell at our former place in Newton. When he was still young and white. These are taken with camera phone.

All about Bell

SO told his sister all about Bell!

He was always going on and on how he would not tell her about Bell but today, he sms me to say that he finally told her all about Bell cos he felt it was time for her to know. What a load of crap! Sometimes he can be such a big mouth!

Since he is in such a confessional mood, maybe i can get him to confess more about his sins.

Will "steal" his handphone and blogged about the entire sms chat he had with his sister...

-----------------------------------

The dorky chat between SO and his sister. By the time, i got my hand on his phone, his responses were mostly gone. His sister used a lot of sms short form, so proceed at your own understanding. I added in spacing for easy reading. SO is so going to kill me if he found out, but then he did not know I have started blogging again.

The ones in red are my remarks and comments to SO as I read the chat in front of SO.

Sis:
I just went to a famous geomancer to check on Ch's name (her daughter). Count d strokes 2 define d fate.Realise v true.

Dad 1 says: sad separation, stormy weather, hade labor, punishment, hardship, fish on drought land. Mom 1:winter grass, difficulties, sick n weak, loneliness, frost n snow, unable to untilise one's talent.

iWicked: Eh...what talent, I asked SO? She's illiterate and the only thing she knows is housework. She is a great cook and can even make clothes. But her husband refused to let her go out and work. Maybe that's her talent wasted.

Sis:
I calculated 3 of our names strokes. 3 of us all gd.
Yrs say: authority, honesty, understanding, kind, independent, great achievement assured.

iWicked: At this point, SO can see me rolling my eyes.

Sis:
Nt overly superstitious lah. Just 4 xinan. CC (brother) says yrs n his v accurate. Mine says: resourceful n brave, self confidence, leadership, wealth n fame, happiness, god given gd luck.

iWicked: Some women can be so guillible. SO said ...did you read that my bro said his is very true. I can see SO rolling his eyes at this point.

Sis:
CC: virtue, boldness, health, harmony, man of luck, unlimited gd fortune. He's gg paris tis august.

iWicked: That lucky bastard. Always said no money to give his mother or contribute to household funds, got money to go Paris. He even rents a car for $1000 a month. SO rolls his eyes and did not say anything. (meaning he agreed with what I said)

SO:
To tell u frankly, i found your lost dog almost 8 years ago. Still keeping him now. SPCA wanted to put him down. But he's on heavy medication because of fits. Dun tell anyone ok. Now he's old and grouchy. He used to be so meek.

iWicked: That big mouth bitch. Guilty and thus confessed. Anyway, there was some silence on his sister side. SO thought she was too shocked or embarrassed to respond.

Sis:
Oh, me shower just cm out. Yah, shock n move 2 tears. My ill hearted father in law let him go on purpose. Gd thing u kp him bt it must b v v tough on u.

SO:
I know you must have felt bad. This was him around 2001. (He sms her a photo.)

Sis:
What u mean dun tel any1. Why? So u must hv spent alot alot on his medication? Hw frequent he hv his fits? I remembered can b few times a day. So hw u hv time 2 clear his mess.

iWicked: So misleading. I am the one clearing the mess since i am the one always at home.

SO:
Dun want mum to know cos she won't approve of it. Because of his many fits, so sent him to vet. No cure but on daily medication and frequent check up. Everyday must bring him to walk outside to pee before work and after work. Then come home must mop floor cos he pees everywhere.

(SO mms this very old pic of Bell)

iWicked: (Me rolling my eyes) You lying bitch. I am the one mopping the floor every day. Most days twice. You only mopped on weekends. Dun make it as if you are slaving and mopping everyday for your dog and got no life! I am the maid who mop the floor, who mop the urine, clear his shit and feed him while you are at work. And if you misbehaves, I am gonna tell your mama you got the dog your sister abandoned years ago.

Sis:
N u can endure tat 4 so many yrs? Then nw he start 2 bite u hw?

iWicked: Of course, can endure. Got free maid...ME!

SO:
No choice. I learn to clamp his mouth. Think he started biting me after i beat him 2 yrs ago. He never used to bark too. Nowadays, not happy he will growl and bark. He is prone to liver and kidney failure due to medication, so dun think he will live too long though he lived so many years already.

iWicked: Ya...No choice. Anyway, i did not beat him. SO beat him for drinking the urine of our other dog, a bitch and he snapped! Beat as in reprimand him and gave him a curt smack on the mouth area after he was caught drinking urine.
I also have liver and kidney problems. Bitch, you poisoned both of us!

Sis:
He dun bark? I tot he barked n smtimes bite. But u mean al these years you clean d mess everyday n u cn take it?

iWicked: I looked at SO....what mess you have to clean every day? If it was a real child, it would have died long time ago! SO rolled his eyes at this point.

SO:
For many years, he din bark. I tot he was mute. Then he started ti bark about the time i beat him. It's like he suddenly realise he can bark. Ha ha. I can take it because he's a dog and probably doesn't know what he's doing. It's just instinct. Enough about him. Must bring him for walk soon. U rest well. Taking care of kids are not easy too!

iWicked: Actually it sounded worse than it actually is. We dun beat or whipped/caned our dogs. We are NOT pet abusers. Years back, we were more ignorant on the ways to train our dogs. Now we know better. I think they are one of the luckiest pets in the world. Walks everyday. Snacks frequently. Soft bed. Clean floor every day. Clean drinking water daily. Weekly baths. Premium dog food. Lots of hugs and love. What else can a dog ask for?

Sis:
Taking care of a sick dog is much tough! Bt at least knws he's in gd hands. Thks.

I swear this sms chat really took place and not a figment of my imagination.

The Closet Test

I learnt something new today, from the TV series, "Bones". The question of who loves whom more.

--------------------------------

WYATT: Yes, well, now of course you're flattering me, so obviously I'm helpless. Alright, so, what made you think you should move with him in the first place?

BRENNAN: The closet test.

ANGELA: Over half of his closet is filled with my things.

WYATT: I see, and what about your own closet? It overfloweth with his things, does it?

ANGELA: Uh, no. It doth not.

WYATT: Well then, I suggest you wait until it does, thus rendering you manifest equals. Tabling until that day, the vexed question of who should move in with whom.

Blow the whistle for Foolz

Well...i blew the whistle for Foolz.

Viral infection is not a good answer for her death. Is it really viral infection that attribute to her death? I read that the doctors dun know. So they concluded that that it was a viral infection. Some virus got into her body, destroyed her immune system and attacked her organs.

But could it be Suprim, the acne medication that she was taking for her acne? Suprim, like some medication has its side effects.

FATALITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE ADMINISTRATION OF SULFONAMIDES, ALTHOUGH RARE, HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO SEVERE REACTIONS, INCLUDING STEVENS-JOHNSON SYNDROME, TOXIC EPIDERMAL NECROLYSIS, FULMINANT HEPATIC NECROSIS, AGRANULOCYTOSIS, APLASTIC ANEMIA AND OTHER BLOOD DYSCRASIAS. SULFAMETHOXAZOLE; TRIMETHOPRIM SHOULD BE DISCONTINUED AT THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF SKIN RASH OR ANY SIGN OF ADVERSE REACTION.

Clinical signs, such as rash, sore throat, fever, arthralgia, cough, shortness of breath, pallor, purpura or jaundice may be early indications of serious reactions. In rare instances a skin rash may be followed by more severe reactions, such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, hepatic necrosis or serious blood disorder. Complete blood counts should be done frequently in patients receiving sulfonamides.

Though i dun know her personally, i am just not satisfied with that answer. So I blew the whistle for Foolz. I dun think she should die without a valid reason. I dun have the resources to investigate her death, so I emailed a newspaper, detailing her death.

Hope that they can find out the real truth or at least create awareness of the risks associated with acne medication. Beauty comes with a price!

Death of a Stranger Part 2

More from DT's blog. I finally found out how JL died. What a horrific way to die!

I attended the wake yesterday. Very sad... Frankly, I felt it's like dream. I can't accept Jimmy's passing on. Honestly, he's too young to go. His Brother told me to whole thing.

Jimmy was depressed before the kidney gall stone operation. He thought of dying and talked about suicide. He was in depression. I don't blame him... Life is very exciting , full of colours, work is good, doing what he does best!! Then got hit with the sickness... who wouldn't be depressed??

He spoke to many people, but none can't fill inthe emptiness he felt. Till one day, his sister suggested that he shld speak to the Lama of the temple. He did. The Lama spent some time with him, talked to him. After the session, Jimmy instantly felt better and didn't talk about suicide anymore before his operation. He began to eat but not much as his stomach hurts each time. He was down to 45kg. Days past, he was feeling better, ready for his operation on 28th May. Operation went well.... came back to his Mom's to recuperate... Then tragedy strike!!! He was up on Saturday morning, took a rag and a pail of water to clean the windows of his Mom's flat. While cleaning the window, he fell....20 storeys down!!!! He fell to his death!!!

He DIDN'T COMMIT SUCIDE!!! ...HE FELL , accident!!!! The police saw his body and his hand was holding the rag tightly on the ground, also saw the pail by the window he was cleaning in his home. NOT SUICIDE!! I repeat .... NOT SUICIDE!!

I don't believe he will do such a thing too!!!

At the wake , Lama disclosed that Jimmy's soul came to visit him. Jimmy told Lama, it was all an accident, he slipped, fell forward and out of the window down 20-storeys.

It was all an accident!! My dear Jimmy, my sad loss, our sad loss!!!

Life is ........unpredictable!!

Live life to the fullest, every moment!!

I admired Jimmy, he planned for his funeral 3 years back, wrote his will too.

All the details and requests in his plans were carried out to his wishes. Lilac table cloth over white. Small flower arrangements on each table. Consisting of white roses, lavender, statis in a small arrangements. Playing his fave music from Barry Manillow. Finally, he wants everyone to be happy, not sad on this day. He wants us to dress colorful!!! Jimmy..... Jimmy....how much I really miss you!!! A good friend and Boss!!!

----------------------------------

Found this blog on JN. I think it was a bit mean, especially the last part. The author is 20 y/o male.
RIP to JN
a local emcee. after losing his voice with thanks to the tonsil operation, he was extremely depressed. labeled among other emcees, as the best in singapore, being able to host for 2hours straight.

gay. and his parents claimed he fell from the 20th floor after wiping the windows.
but theres no signs of falling from a building.

flying dutchman and all my other emcee friends will be attending the wake.

suicide.

----------------------------------

I was reading a new blog, Ga and I came across this posting. This is about JL dated 9th Jun.
This morning, I saw a familiar face in the obituaries section of the paper. It was a face I knew from a long time ago, like when I was in my mid 30s. Yes, how time flies when you least notice it.

He was just someone who had written to me on numerous occasions. For a short period of time, we communicated, mostly, through emails. I knew he was a successful entrepreneur or at least that was what he told me. He also travelled quite often on his job. Somehow, along the way we stopped communicating and went about our own lives. You know, it's one of those things. They never last. I wish I had known him personally but that was as much as I knew of him till today. For some reasons, I never had the chance to meet up with him or got to know him better.

So, when I saw his picture in the obituaries, I felt a tinge of sadness. He was only 39, still so young was all I could think of. It was all the more poignant when I visited his memorial website. I may not know him as a friend but I learned that he was loved by many and his life was anything but ordinary.

Rest in peace, J.

----------------------------------

His death also came out in the papers of Shin Min on 10th Jun 2008. Only saw the headlines online, never read the contents inside. "Well-known local MC plunges to his death."

Rest In Peace, JNL!
