180 Degrees U-Turn

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

is what probably Kelvin's life has turned into.

Finally, I can stay back in school till really late, can go out during weekdays and stuff. For those of you who don't know what happened, please, don't ask. It's very difficult for me to spell it out in words. Yea?

Let's review the happenings this week(end). I'm quite proud of it, actually.

V A I O? What's that? Woohoo!

Ok. What's this? V A I O.. Hmm, Is that a Sony VAIO laptop?

Yes! It is! *Cackles evilly* I've finally got _another_ VAIO! OMG. Now I can chuck that underpowered Fujitsu S6240 aside, finally. Anyways, so… How did I get it? Well, I actually played the Voyage of Life game organized by the CPF, and.. Not exactly played. Actually, but I still got the prize. Think - Exploitation. Hehe.

Beautiful, isn't it?

Anyways, speaking about beautiful… I'm sure the fellow guys who are reading this probably have noticed those insurance agents - gorgeous ladies, and some average guys - standing in MRT stations, with foldable tables, and stopping people halfway. Notice how the ladies always stop the guys, and the guys, well, vice-versa. Thing was, one of the ladies actually approached me (when I was holding my 9500 and dressed so-damned-formally), with the lousiest pickup line I've ever heard:

Chiobu Sales Agent in a seductive Japanese voice: Chu-to-ma-teh!! (or however u spell that.)
Me with a confused look: Uhh?
Chiobu Sales Agent: How old are you?
Me after some thought: 18, and I'm not interested.
(me walks off)

What the hell. If she'd use a better line I'll maybe invest like half of my account on her. Must give credit to her appeal. But what the..? Horrible pickup lines spoil shit. Stupid insurance agents - go get more training first.

Anyways, the week was long.

I did NOT get into EMP. Got kicked out for being too noisy - together with the other 3 gals in my group. Somehow, that guy who can't speak Engrish for nuts got in. Can't really blame me, though… Two of them were exceptionally horny gals, and one, was, well, very appealing. Not my fault, right?

That's probably them.. Hmm. For those who're interested, the one on the left is Hanani and the other is Sarah. Pei Xin probably refused the photo due to the fact that she was *very* upset with not getting in. But she looked good on Saturday morning. Argh. Why no camera with me!??

And.. Wilson leaked his.. er, something again. My fellow team members describe it as "porn". But I assure you, its no where near a turn-on; for both the guys and the gals. *sighs*

Wilson = SEXY, not.

And, that's about it for this post.

Kelvin out.

Flip Sides

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

Let’s use the analogy of the coin. A simple coin. Fair chance of getting both, probability 0.5 for each side… 

SiDE ONE of the coin, decides that, after some point of time, it feels like letting the spinning coin fall on its side; because it thinks that it has found something stable to land on.. and that, this side can satisfy its, er, desires requirements :P

SiDE TWO of the coin, however, feels that its just getting warmed up, and doesn’t want to land. “Let the coin spin.. Spin..” - whispers SiDE TWO of the coin… You’re just getting started with the fun..

Question: What are the chances that the coin will fall on SiDE ONE?

Risks VS Personality

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

Dang. The previous week just like flew across. It’s amazing how a few days can make up a week when you’ve great company, be it physical (next to you, right now), or not-so-physical (maybe on MSN Messenger, or through SMS messages). I’m actually still feeling that I’m still in last week. Time-lagged, I suppose.

Nevertheless, I’m deciding to take a gamble based on my Realisation (in the previous post) as to how things could really go. That probably sums it up, Risks VS Personality. Risks - would be the risks that I’m actually taking - stirring up a big hoo-haa with that someone special, and Personality - being what really is this blog is all about (and yes, user retention strategies, I do want to keep my readers, still.) No no no, it should never be restraint, not yet, at least.

Much have been gone through this past few days, as an Event Manager for an Interest Group in the school, I do feel the pressure on me to “come out with” events for things to happen. Maybe even having to turn to people whom I actually pissed off in the past and threated to file lawsuits against. Now, that’s reality, the horrible situations in a country whereby the law stays above all. (And what happens if we stay above it? No. I’m not going to answer that, not yet.)

I’ve felt much “altered” these few days. Suddenly, I’m joining Zixin and Serene twice in a week for lunch (and today’s only Wednesday) and trying to stay *OUT* of their clique. By that, I do mean that I do not want to end up being a “fellow”, like what Wesley unknowingly (probably) evolved to. I’m not saying its bad - you get a few great friends which would stay alongside you for a long, long time - but looking at the numerous limitations that come along with it? Do the math, like Fredrik did, Wesley, if you’re even reading this. You want to stay in the game as someone which controls the aspects of the game, or you prefer being the rental clerk which hands out the DVDs? I’m sure this psuedonym is not one which anyone would have problems deciphering.

Maybe even with a proper manifesto set, Kelvin is still not himself. Too many personalities, images (aka dressing styles), social circles? Perhaps. One day you see a guy who dresses like the facilitator in formal attire with only 1 button down from the collar, the next, someone in a Polo Tee with the collars flipped upwards, and maybe on the third, you will see an average guy in 3-quarter pants, carpet-surfaced slippers, and a flashy chain over the neck. That’s how unpredictable things are, and how unpredictable the situation has been for the previous few days (or weeks? or months?).

What else do I have on my “asset” list? Around 5 potential DVDs which I don’t think anyone has rented yet, and that I’ll probably get a great screening, and one which is in the player right now ;) Go figure, guys.

Realisation

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

A huge wave of realisation suddenly hit Kelvin.

What if, one day soon, Kelvin wants to quit being a player?
What if, he knew this yandao.com has affected the people special to him?
What if, it has already happened?

(Gawd, I must really sound like I’m writing programming codes. So many If’s…)
