Classroom....
As you go through life, the mighty current of society is bound to get in your way and there will certainly be times things don’t go as you’d hoped.
When this happens, do not look to society for a cause.
Do not renounce society.
Frankly, you’d be wasting your time.
Instead, just say, “that’s life!” and muddle your way through with frustration.
Once you’d past it, consider: if society’s swift current is tossing you around, how should you be swimming there in its midst?
You don’t always have to stand and face it head-on.
You can run and hide.
If it’s not against the rules, you can try a sneak attack.
You can use unconventional weapons.
Stay determined – not impatient nor discouraged – and with repeated trial and error, you’re bound to reach a splendid outcome eventually.
That’s because each and every one of you is a top-tier assassin who can do just that.

A Quote to remember.....
"I start with the voice. I find out how the character sounds. It's through the way he speaks that I find out the rest about him. ... After the voice comes the looks of the man. I do a lot of drawings of the character I play. Then I get together with the makeup man and we sort of transfer my drawings onto my face. An involved process. After that I establish how the character walks. Very important, the walk. And then, suddenly, something strange happens. The person takes over. The man you play begins to exist."

Osteonecrosis of the jaw - After wisdom tooth extraction
Today,
I went to see the dentist, as I had this little piece of bone protruding from Gums,
After extracting my wisdom tooth, and doing a filling on my other teeth, I have had felt a sharp bone being pushed to the surface of my mouth,
Caused me a great pains, from eating, and just going to Malaysia would be a nightmare as I would not be able to eat much - This is good for the diet....
No, its not Cancer, or anything serious (hopefully)
Google pictures of it, and you will be convinced that you are going to DIE ....
or you have some terminal disease.
Anyway to cut things short, through surfing forums and reading discussion on the matter, it brings me down to the fact that it may just be 'lingual mandibular sequestration with ulceration'
The Dentist broke off the sharp end of the bone, and picked out the the little bits of it.
So strange - Tiny bits of bone can be such an irritation.
In any case, the left side of my jaw feels like someone just gave me really hard right hook ....
Not swollen, but hurts....
Hope it heals up and I can go to work tomorrow.

Thoughts: Impressed ......
We don't ruin others in order to rise up, we don't step on others dreams in order to fulfill ours, and we don't ridicule others for not being like us.
Instead, we lift up our friends, we extend a hand to strangers and we forgive our enemies. We do what is good so that others may see the goodness in our hearts and want for themselves what they see in us.
That is character
Wow....

Marriage life – 002 – Naming the Kids
When I got married, I already had a many plans for what was to come.
Being here now, it had opened a whole new network of paths of which I would take.
Through the many years singlehood, planning, rehearsals with all the imaginary girlfriends I once had, that grew into imaginary wives that led to different imaginary lives….
One of the scenarios was to start a family with 2 kids.
So one fine day, I brought this idea up to the wife:
Me: Dear, if we have kids, what would we call them?
Wife: (Looks at me with that weird look….)
Me: Lets try something interesting…. Maybe something scientific….
Maybe….. Cosine – Fang Cah Soh……
(After Moment of Silence…..a strange look)
Wife: No…. we should go with something biological – Diarrhoea Fang
Me: That’s a great Idea, while we are at that…. We can call….
*Wife walks in on me writing.... and hijacks the keyboard*
------------------------------------------------------
The original story:
The husband and I did not want children.
He: They are a bother and expensive to maintain in the current Singapore economy. Do you know the cost of childcare and education? Who is going to take care of the child?
I: Then why don’t we have a dog?
He: …. (frowning) … and what shall we call it? *interrupts to sniff the air* Wait… did you not bathe today? I smell shit…. Maybe we should call him “Fang Pi” (meaning Fart/breaking wind in Chinese)
I: (patting my womb) Since you like science, how about… Diarrhoea Fang? It has a nice ring to it.
He: (…rolls eyes…) I was thinking of something more scientific. If we had a child, perhaps we should name him Trigo Fang.
I: I got it! Diarrhoea Fang Cah Soh…
He: (utter silence) ………..
*Husband takes keyboard back from The Wife *
Conclusion: Our kids will be called Diarrhoea Fang Pi and Trigo Fang Cah Soh... and we also decided Fang Lau Sai.....
We make bad parents.....

This Space is empty - ?
It has been ages since I have taken up the task to write about something.
Looking at an old blog of mine, which post dates back to 2009, it kind of occurred to me that I have not written anything for a long time.
So, what had happened?
What changed?
Why have I started writing again?
I vaguely remembered that I had stopped all my blogging activities, due to the fact that almost everyone was sort of mud slinging me for the post I had written.
May it be some inspiration or some insights or just the strange way I put across ideas over the page.
Anyway, forward to today, I have successfully completed a milestone in my life, I got married.
Happily I must add, although it has been a short 6 months, it was an interesting experience none the least.
After years of threshing around, talking of love, learning about love, discussing about love, dreaming about love. You have finally reached!!!
A whole new ball game, a whole new set of rules, a new set of challenges.
The wife said I should pick up blogging again too, so here I am.
No idea what I will do with this, but yes, I will try to write something regularly.
Hopefully not sounding like a complete idiot as I have done in my previous blogs.
I was young, 25 to 29 years old, obsessed with the thoughts of "RULING THE WORLD!!!"
Ok ... lets see where this leads me.
Like all my dreams, maybe one day I can take all my blog post and compile it into this nice booklet and call it "thoughts of a twisted mind"
Let me see if I can find the time to fix how the blog looks like....till then, enjoy this basic look.

Marriage 001 - the beginning.....
That moment when you have a make or break kind of fight and, instead of breaking, the relationship strengthens and things change and you both change in ways you never thought possible. And, all of a sudden, you’re standing in the middle of the relationship you’d always hoped it would be, all because you took the risk to stay instead of the easy answer to leave.
It's been 6 months since I said "I Do",
it is now "Us against the world"....
I am Happy
