A Dose of Backstreet Boys in the Mornin'

This morning I had a little chat with my buddy Kav online, who happened to mention about the once famous boy band BSB (Backstreet Boys) will be coming to town. My 'BSB mood' was jolted, and below is what happened.

The Breakfast Scenario

To be doing good deeds is man's most glorious task. I beg to differ, Sophocles.

This morning, I decided to break-a-way from my ever so-comfortable routine of getting up 15 minutes before the time I'm supposedly to clock in, rushing my ass to the office; managing only to reach my office exactly at 8. Instead I decided to go for breakfast at McD, to have a good meal before slowly strutting to work.

The place was located adjacent to a petrol station, beside the freeway; it's one of those one-stop petrol stations that you see in the TV (where there's virtually everything there); I managed to reach the place at 7.25 a.m., it was a 15-minute drive from my place and proceeded to order my desired breakfast set, which consisted of a Sausage McMuffin with Egg, a Hash Brown, and a hot cuppa tea. I was enjoying my breakfast, the good food, the fresh morning breeze, 'beautiful' scenery (I chose to sit outside); quality time well-spent before the horrors of programming for the next 9 hours.

I was lamenting about what to do if I had a million pounds (whilst waiting for the steaming hot tea to cool) when I was approached by an elderly frail Chinese lady. She was hesitant at first, pacing around briefly before finally mustering her courage to ask me, "Boy, can you help me?" Naturally, I was shocked (and a slightly irittated coz my day-dreaming was interrupted) and responded with enquiring what help she needed.

It turned out that she needed somebody to help her with refilling her Kancil's tires with air, apparently she didn't know how to operate the air compressor and there was no petrol attendants to help her out. Well, being the ocassional good Samaritan that I was, I agreed to help her out, leaving my half-munched burger, the untouched hash brown and a good three-quarters of tea behind and accompanied her to the car. She requested that I only have to fill up the front tires, but my 'light-side' got the better of me; I decided to fill the rear tires as well. After getting my hands dirtied (man, the tires were soiled with tire rust) but the job done, she thanked me profusely and handed me a tissue to clean my hands.

I beamed at her, saying it was nothing; the feeling of helping somebody out made me feel good, and I was whistling as I made my way back to my abandoned breakfast. I was about to reach my table when I realized that the tray containing my breakfast was... gone. I enquired the staff and it seemed that one of the McD cleaners thought I already left and cleared out my table. I was dumbfounded as I was disappointed; I managed to mumble a 'never-mind' even though the guy apologized.

A good breakfast gone to waste

In the end, I reached my office late because of the whole damn scenario that could've turned out to be an enjoyable morning. Glorious task? I don't think so.

Anti-Valentine's Day!

It's that time of the year again, where guys and girls alike are excited for no apparent reason. Yup, it's the 14th of February, where Valentine's Day is celebrated.

It's that day which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery. It's been made a holiday in North America, named after two among the numerous Early Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. (cited from Wikipedia)

Guys will get their spouses gifts, go out for a romantic dinner, and the after-events, I leave that completely to your imagination.

Try dressing like this to celebrate, creativity is always rewarded

Personally, I think that Valentine's day is not worth celebrating, I mean come on, in a year you gotta celebrate your girl's/guy's birthday, your anniversary and god-knows-what special occasion, and now you need to fork out a small fortune to celebrate something meaningless? Especially when prices are hiked up to take advantage of your wallets.

You don't need to shower gifts on your beloved one just for this one day; besides, it defeats the purpose where both of you act lovey-dovey on this day and resume the bland relationship the day after.

It's just that I find that this celebration is futile, where restaurants will be extra packed, and some will amp up their prices because of the celebration. Some of you may say, "Hey, I can prepare a home-cooked dinner for two", but how many of you really do that? (Well, at least I did last year, I had to rush back home during lunch to prepare the stuff). The chore of braving traffic jams, crowds at restaurants, early bookings of restaurants, flowers isn't a delightful ordeal.

Saint Valentine’s Day has become commercialized and lost its significance of lovers expressing love for each other. Instead, it has become a sales gimmick for gift/flower shops and restaurants, and the sole reason for the road to my apartment to become jam-packed when I clock-out today.

No, I'm not a Valentine-hater or anything; it's not that I couldn't get a date this year and that's why I'm venting out my frustration here. Nah, I'm already attached. I'm just here to make my point. Some of you may diss them, with better points which may be true, heck I'm a liberal man. Everyboy's entitled to their own opinion.

With that said, I wish those who're celebrating Happy Valentine's Day/Happy Single Awareness Day!

Xing Nien Kuai Lerk!!

It's been a while since my last post, with me busy writing a system, my home PC's power supply going kaput, and restricted Internet access at work makes it no wonder that I couldn't update my blog.

Well today, I've managed to bypass the damn restriction via proxy server, and a little manual tweaking at the server has enabled me to post. Viva la Resistance! Freedom to blog!

As we all know, today's CNY eve, thus I decided to stick a YouTube video of a CNY song. Kids singing CNY songs annoy me, but as today is an auspicious day, what the heck.

Happy Chinese New Year!!!!!
