This is a very back-dated post.

During the mid sem break, 6 very bored souls decided to have a slumber party..

Here's the hostess, Shuyi with a stuffed toy of herself..



Here's MZ with her stuffed dog which she calls Zhou Jielun..



Damon, the bartender for the night (and many other nights as well), with his puppet monkey..



I borrowed ryN*'s Pooh Bor Kia.. (translation: Pooh's wife's son. in hokkien it means son of a bitch)



Justin decided to bring a toy that will make himself feel better due to his own inadequacy.. (I dunno why I keep making fun of him in my blog)



And in case you are thinking that we were toasting to kopi orh gao (coffee black thick), then you're wrong. Those were shots of Bailey's + Kahlua, a small fraction of what we had that night..



Well, thats about it. The sixth bored soul, Wendy Le, was in Bintan slumbering with somebody else. We had a Merliony roarrrring good time that night!

The fantastic four at Cherating in July this year..



Nope the fair one with breasts is not Jessica Alba.

And here's a pic of the awesome threesome at East Coast Park 3 weeks ago..



Its kinda funny how we always happen to stand in that same exact order no matter where we go or who we take pictures with. I have somemore pictures to prove that point but too bad I just reformatted my harddisk.

Anyways, its official. I'm putting on weight.

Nothing to blog about recently. Shall just post a mindless joke. No offence to anyone.


Pope vs Ah Peh

About a century or two ago, the Pope decided that all the Chinese had to leave Italy. Naturally there was a big uproar from the Chinese community.

So the Pope made a deal. He would have a religious debate with a member of the Chinese community. If the Chinese win, they could stay. If the Pope wins, the Chinese would leave.

The Chinese realized that they had no other choice. So they picked a middle-aged man named Ah Peh to represent them.

Ah Peh asked for one condition to be added to the debate. "To make it more interesting", he said, "neither side would be allowed to talk". The Pope agreed.

The day of the great debate came. Ah Peh and the Pope sat opposite each other for a full minute. Then the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers. Ah Peh looked back at him and raised one finger. The Pope waved his finge rs in a circle around his head. Ah Peh pointed to the ground at where he sat. The Pope pulled out a loaf and a glass of wine. Ah Peh pull out an apple.

The Pope stood up and said: "I give up. This man is too good. The Chinese can stay."

An hour later, the cardinals were all around The Pope asking him what happened. The Pope said, "first I held up three fingers to represent the holy trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there was still one God common to both our religions." "Then I waved my finger around me to show him that God was all around us." He responded by pointing to the ground and showing that God was also right here with us." "I pulled out the wine and loaf to show that God absolves all sin. He showed me an apple to remind us of the original sin. He had an answer for everything. What could I do?"

Meanwhile, the Chinese community had crowded around Ah Peh. "What happened?" they asked. "Well," said Ah Peh, "First he indicated to me that all Chinese had 3 days to get out of here. I replied to him f**k off and not one of us was leaving." "Then he pointed that this whole city would be Chinese. I showed him that we are staying right here." "Yes, and then???" asked the crowd. "I don't know", said Ah Peh, "He took out his lunch, and I took out mine!!!"

Last night when Giuseppe Rossi scored the third goal for ManU in their 3-1 win over Sunderland, ryN* suddenly had craving for rosti. Rossi scored so she felt like eating rosti.

I guess I'm getting influenced by her. And that prob explains why I'm piling on the kilos. Damnit man I've put on another 2.5kg in the past 6 mths or so.

Come to think of it, if ryN* was watching the Liverpool vs Blackburn game last night instead of the ManU match, and then Paul DICKov of Blackburn had score..... I would've been a very lucky man. Wahahahahahaha!

People come people go. The sun will always set at the end of the day. It may be raining heavily now but the rain will stop eventually. Rainbows appear but they disappear too. Which makes me wonder.. is there anything that is forever?

Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.. yeah i know the song says so. But whats the point of keeping a diamond forever if we can't live forever?

People say that even though the sun sets at the end of the day, but if you make full use of the sunny day then it can be considered a good day well spent. Or in the diamond case, you get to enjoy wearing the diamond on your finger out to flaunt it, just like one of my lecturer.

But whats the point of having something if you know that the moment won't be forever? Just to enjoy the moment?

Personally, I choose to give up making full use of the day. I just slack all day and wait for the sun to set and for a new day to begin. This probably explains so much about my school work which keeps pilling up.

Somebody should really invent a time machine.

The Ricardian rent for housing and land is determined according to the compensation principle. Ricardian theory also explains why land uses and different types of households tend to be separated spatially. Since sites go to those offering the highest rent, spatial separation occurs naturally in these markets.

In short, Ricardian theory suggests that land must be priced at each site so that its occupant is charsged for the value of whatever locational advantages exist at that site.

Sorry to bore you guys with my Real Estate Space Market II module. But I feel that the Ricardian theory is a true reflection of our lives.

In making friends, although it is true that you tend to choose friends who offer you certain benefits that other people do not ( I don't mean that kinda "friends-with-benefit"), it is quite expected of you to "pay" for the friendship as well. The more benefits that the friend offers, the closer you are to him/her, and the more you have to "pay" for the friendship. Payments can be made in the form of spending time with that person, helping that person when he/she is in need, listening and offering advice to that person, etc.

You don't repay a friend by backstabbing him/her, bad-mouthing him/her behind his/her back, giving him/her a dressing down (unless its for their own good), etc.

Thats why we should learn to cherish the friends we have, especially those who offer more "locational advantages". And we should be prepared to be charged a higher rent.

I know I'm not the greatest friend in the world, but I'm still learning. And trying to be. Sorry my friends, I will try my best to fulfill the Ricardian theory.

I've seriously been very busy. Not lazy mind u, its busy.

All of a sudden, I just have sooooo many things to do. So much so that I have 3 episodes of The O.C. Season 3 still unwatched, 3 episodes of Joey Season 2 and 1 episode of Desperate Housewives Season 2.

Anyways, I've figured out that there can be simple solutions to complicated questions. Try this one:

1 = 5
2 = 25
3 = 125
4 = 625
5 = ?

Nope the answer is not 5 = 3125.

The answer is actually 5 = 1.

Wonder why? Because in the first line I already said 1 = 5. Therefore, 5 = 1!

Hohohohohohohohohoho!!!
