if i had only one more day to live,
i swear i would swallow the pride(if there's any left that is).
Then i'll donate my heart to you*.
give it nourishment.
let it beat.
It beats still.
till Yours* ceases.
Then i'll give it to you.
So that we'll never be apart.
even when death calls.

Michael Bolton sang, "Love is a Wonderful Thing." I disagree. The J. Geils Band sang, "Love Stinks." I couldn't agree more.

Love stinks, surely, but don't get me wrong - I am not preaching hate to the world. There are basically two kinds of love: There is the love associated with peace, respect and goodwill - usually referred to as "Brotherly Love," which is something the world definitely needs more of.

Then there's the other kind of love - romantic love. Which is total crap.

What is love? That question has been answered many times by poets, songwriters and lovers making utter fools of themselves, all of them usually coming up with such cliches as, "Love is a Rose." Blah. Love is a rose, all right. It's got thorns.

If I were to answer that question (which I believe is intended to be merely rhetorical anyways), I would say:

"Love is a luxury, not a necessity. Love is society's dangerous pressure, which ruins those who vainly try to comply with it. Love leeches you of your intelligence, rational abilities, creativity, time and money."

So there.

"Love is a luxury, not a necessity."

Is love _really_ necessary? Does the Constitution mention it? Does one of the Ten Commandments say, "Thou Shalt Fall In Love?" No. Love is simply a luxury. Once can live a happy, healthy, productive life without falling in love. If Plato had fallen in love, for example, he would have never had the time to create his philosophies.

"Love is society's dangerous pressure, which ruins those who vainly try to comply with it."

Turn on the radio. What do you hear? A love song. Watch a movie. What do you see? A love scene. Perhaps, to escape the problem, you can take a walk. Sorry! there are lovers holding hands in the parks, sidewalks and shopping malls of the world. What happens every February? Ugh. We are bombarded with hearts, Cupids, flowers and candies. We feel the pressure of the marketing ploys of Valentine's Day (a so-called "holiday" with a strictly commercial purpose and no historical significance whatsoever, designed to suck your purse or wallet dry on overpriced gimmickry). Pressure indeed. So you have no one to love? Tsk, tsk. Society labels you a "loser" or an "outcast." That's just not fair.

Love is certainly responsible for the problems of the world. Take overpopulation, for instance, Love leads to sex, and sex leads to babies. Too much leads to too much sex and too many babies. Perhaps the world's governments should take that into consideration. Without romantic love, there would be a dramatic decrease in the instances of date rape and spousal abuse. Not to mention a massive decline in AIDS cases.

"Love is something that leeches you of yout intelligence, rational abilities, creativity, time and money."

Love makes you dumb. That is not just opinion, that is fact.

A study performed last fall at Tuebingen Univeristy in Germany dealt with electroencephalogram (EEG) readings of people with low IQs and high IQs. One of their findings revealed that some of the high IQ subjects showed brain- wave patterns of a "clearly reduced complexity," comparable with those in the low IQ group. The researchers questioned them and found out that they were genuinely and passionately in love. And how many times have couples neglected work or their studies just to spend time together? Far too often.

Lovers are very un-creative people. They succumb to dullness and cliches. "I'll love you forever," a man would say to his woman. Bo-ring. What does that mean, "forever?" No one loves forever. People break up. And even if they marry, they get divorced. And even if they stay married, they die. Nothing lasts forever.

I have lost count of all the times I wanted to hang out with a friend, only to hear, "Oh, sorry, I can't. I have to spend all day with my girlfriend." (My mind hears the sound of a whip cracking). And lovers are so intoxicated with each other that, for them, "Time seems to fly by so quickly."

As for money: Hah. Love leaves you bankrupt. There are the necessities of life: food, clothing, bills, perhaps even rent and gas. But love upsets one's financial priorities. Lovers have to spend money on such things as presents, flowers, presents, cologne or perfume, presents, perhaps even birth control and, oh yeah, presents. And I didn't even mention how money disappears when people go out on dates! All of the above leaves one financially weak. It's no wonder that lovers have to end up living together.

Face it, love is not such a wonderful thing now, is it?


what a cynical view which i happened to stumble upon.i still believe it's great to be in love,sometimes.don't you agree? then again,im a whimp and softy in this kinda affair.it would take me forever to believe im out of this game.

I've been wanting to blog for the past week, but I could not find the time and effort to here's my easy way out.or you call it my lazy way out:
1. The physician gave me a long lecture about my dying body parts.
2. First was the hormonal disorder,then the incapability(or so she says,but I doubt)of my liver,then came the gastric(ok this is a recurring prob so screw it.)
3. Eastern medicine tastes so bad
4.Thomsom medical centre looks like a corporate world office in the interior(I was dumbfolded,or maybe im just easily streaked in awe.)
5. I finally bled after 2months,yes I am proud of this felt intoxicated.
6. I never thought that people could survive 4hours of GP
7. $50 can get you a lot of happy things at chomp chomp.Had a gargantuan feast with my cortie or cameradie for that matter.
8. Wednesday was my first time knowing what satay bee hoon tastes.
9. Green top swell and nicole's mad . Stop competing with me will u.=) permission granted k.
10.Manda's still my bestfriend =) I always smile when I see her =P
11.dried papaya is addictive
12.But im suppose to refrain from carrots,papaya,sweet potato.(notice the colour of it all?you should check my palms out to know why.)
13.Liang siah street is an eye opener.i promised to bring my gfs there after MYEs .
14.I can hardly wait for our night out to Wala wala.=) (my gfs talked abt it.im curious)
15.i learned to be contented with the litle things in life.Like: Taking a picture with my daddy.
16.I learned to be contented that I wake up every morning to 3 people who'll love me even when I drive/drove them to their death beds.God,Dad,Mum.
17.ok,I realise I wear my heart on my sleeves.

That was about it all.i think I usually score well in summary. =) wait!17 is inauspicious.Make it 18.

18.There was something someone commented as well, about grasping the moment and changing your fate, instead of just theorising about it. I'd just like to add this catchy phrase that I'm fond of now, "Analyse until paralyse".


you know,it's no point theorising on something which is already intangible or worst,beyond ya control.Analysing works.getting Paralysed is ultimately what that yields out of all the thinking.
Life doesn't just exist.By definition,it lives.So,why not?So do we live and still analyse or do we live just the way it should be?we all search for meaning in our lives, often in vain. Perhaps the answer is not to find meaning, but to give it?

Heave drops contain weak acid
Small bridges fall hard
Reality is distant from searching eyes
And no one seems tall anymore
I've not caught up
But only grown accustomed
To the true features
Of people

it's been a while since i touched this.so much had happened for the week.*sigh.
Well,the week cruised by so fast.too fast for me to even cry out loud for what's lost and be contented with what's left?i don't even know if i am making any sense now.

In short,

1.I lost 3 damn soccer bets as well.Ok,i was too greedy.*sigh.I mean,im human after all aights?It's natural.So now i am in some sort of cash crisis again.I ought to be shot right through my brains and stop being so silly about bets.

2.I lost to Mr ice-kachang thrice in 3days with regards to the "falling mountain" bet.thank lord it was atapchee-less.i would have crumbled down due to food poisoning if i were forced to swallow more of that disgusting seed.

3.Met my scadalous gf for a study session on wed.Not too bad.She is quite a nice person to mug with.Quiet.Unlike my bestfren.chatterbox. =Pp.Thanks Ms YP.=) love ya company.Promise!

4.finally,i met happy people tdy.people who never fail to make me laugh for at least 5mins non-stop!.faith-departed dia wasn't ard though.(manda gave her tt name!hahas.i think its suits.)

We were studying at coffee club xpress at wisma.Lovely to meet my long lost shanghai mei and the ever so articulate manda.We ended up checking out on the stuffs shanghai mei bought for us.loads! she got me a red top!=),wuxi's famous pork rib,rose petal almond nuts and some purple looking food.Good stuffs there.I feel so loved.=)thanks nic.Ah..i forgot...she overloaded manda and i with some stupid "wan wan" sweet.Unhealthily addictive!ok at the end of it,i prob remembered studying one page of my notes.good gracious me.

The best moments was spent in Soup restaurant at paragon.Oh dear,we really question our chinese language.We were having sucha hard time trying to figure out what sweet potato,potato,corn,yam and tapioca is called in chinese.Try it! I think all of them sound some what similar~ =).Until now,im still puzzled and confused.There! =Pp. The dishes there have funny names too.We had samsui women garlic chicken,beggar pot tofu,black chicken soup with..(i don't know what) and white chicken soup with ginseng..disgustingly filling.J.leong joined in later and he was prob amazed at how unsightly girls get when they luagh i suppose.(or maybe it's only us)Ok it wasn't that costly.$53 for 3 of us.Reasonable?
