Work can be a gift

Some call work a curse. "I don't have enough time due to work", some call it a bane, "If not for work I could be doing..."

I don't deny that work has been a curse and a bane, but I realise that work is also a gift.

People work for various reasons... be it the money, passion for something, or a pledge to certain people or groups of people significant to their lives. For some, it's a combination. It's these reasons that drag a person back to work, day after day, from Mondays to Fridays, and is far more powerful than his/her intentions itself. Such powerful reason as the self-directed question, "why am I doing this", or "who am I doing this for", and thus, "therefore I need to persist".

I'm very glad I found my work partners Andrew and Weikang. I'm currently going through a rough patch, and had I not a commitment to them to make our work project a success, I would probably be a victim to my own emotions right now.

I'm not sure if you're reading, but guys, thanks alot. Really... I really could have been caught in a vicious loop right now.

It's easy to want to fall into the vicious loop. It's a natural gravitation. However, work commitments just keep you from falling in.

On a separate note, I think couples too, need to commit to a higher goal than each other. I never saw it that way before. No, it's not about committing your relationship into God's hands. Atheists, agnostics, relax.. you need not cringe. Merely committing to each other isn't enough. If there was anything I'd do to change my relationship, I would find the relationship upon a mutual premise that includes love, happiness, success and all that is good. A commitment that is able to discernibly shunt anything else - hate, negativity, blame, jealousy, noise, contempt - out of the relationship so that both can live for that single-minded happiness.

John Legend - Save Room Song Meaning



Say that you'll stay a little
Don't say bye bye tonight
Say you'll be mine
Just a little of bit of love
Is worth a moment of your time
Knocking on your door just a little
So cold outside tonight
Let�s get the fire burning
Oh, I know, I keep it burning right
If you stay, won't you stay stay

Save room for my love
Save room for a moment to be with me
Save room for my love save a little
Save a little for me
Won�t you save a little
Save a little for me oh

This just might hurt a little
Love hurts sometimes when you do it right
Don't be afraid of a little bit of pain
Pleasure is on the other side
Let down your guard just a little
I'll keep you safe in these arms of mine
Hold on to me pretty baby
You will see I can be all you need
If you stay, won't you stay stay

Save room for my love
Save room for a moment to be with me
Save room for my love save a little
Save a little for me
Won�t you save a little
Save a little for me oh

(Pa-ya-pa-pa) (Pa-ya-pa-pa) (Pa-ya-pa-pa) (Da-da-da)

Oh come on

Make time to live a little
Don�t let this moment slip by tonight
You never know what you are missing until you try
I'll keep you satisfied
If you stay, won't you stay stay

Save room for my love
Save room for a moment to be with me
Save room for my love save a little
Save a little for me
Won�t you save a little
Save a little for me oh

(Fading)
Save room for my love
Save room for a moment to be with me
Save a little, save a little for me
Won�t you save a little
Save a little for me oh

Some say this song is about John Legend selling the girl the idea of "de-virginization". For once, I never saw a song in a perverted way. Others say it's a song to woo a girl. I personally think it's a about a couple in a rough, even "pain"ful patch where the guy is pleading with the girl for a little time to work on the relationship, and implying that he can show and give her better than he ever did before- if only she would ease up and let down her guard again.

Field Report on Singapore Idol 3



IT WAS ABSOLUTELY CRAP!! - Not me. I'm referring to the organisation of the event. It's beyond terrible. I heard from a MediaCorp representative who was ordering food in the basement that there were 3 auditioning rooms. Yet, a friend of mine who got in line at 2am, who was given the number tag 430-something, didn't get his turn yet... not even now, and it's already 7.13pm!

Another friend who's been queueing since 4am... got turned away and told to return tomorrow.. WHAT CRAP?

They started at 9 this morning, so till 7pm or 1900 hrs, that's 10 hours. 10x60, that's 600 minutes. 3 minutes per person, and 3 rooms, - 60 mins lunch, so they should have 560/3 x 3 = 560 persons. Or lets say, even 500. Why so slow.

And did they really have to keep all of us out in scorching sun till 4.30 before deciding that they can't finish the numbers today and that we'd have to return the following day? On paper, they said 500 people would get to audition today. Well I can totally understand that they needed some crowd to be present for their filming of subsequent trailers... but those were done at 2.30. They could have simply registered us all first with the many registration counters. Question is, why didn't they? No consideration for fellow mankind? Human Rights activists should really make a din outta this. This is really Horse Shit.

Underworked registration queue.



Fucking hungry.

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEVER GOT TO SEE ON STARBLOG: PART #2

Here's what NEVER made it's way to StarBlog. You may see the published version here:
http://starblog.stomp.com.sg/post.php?blogid=1235

I Like My Dreams Wet I Gooed My Pants 3 Nights In a Row Subconsciously Replaying My First Ever Close Body Contact

It was but an innocuous, couple-y “sit on my lap” do. And it wasn't even real. It was part of a photo-shoot. But having never been so close to a girl before, my mind registered it more like:



My first thoughts on the word “sex” is obviously the act of sexual intercourse. Second thought, geez... I hope I can last (especially with a “hot” babe in ANY sense of the word). I've never responded to any spam email on Viagra or Viagra alternative, but I must say I've always been very tempted. Third thought, my eyes are googling passerby cleavage and chasing skirts, or, 'I'd like some porn right now'”.

Did you know that Wonderbra & Cosmopolitan Magazine
jointly founded “National Cleavage Day” to:

“To solemnize women’s independence and power in all facets of life,
from their careers to their relationships to their own destiny.”
Picture from Wonderbra.

Surrealism is a gift. And the concept of succubus ever turned me on. Human are sexual beings.

The D.O.B is obviously bullshit. But the age is real. LOL... This is a graphical re-enactment, but I really did fill out a form like that recently, when I was subconsciously frisky.

The desire and inclination to mate is in-born. Even 4 year old girls start humping pointy objects. Vanessa and I found it very humorous the one time we were in a business partner's car driving through KL, and on the radio was a talkshow tracing children's sex behavior from the age of 2 thru 16. Subsequently, Vanessa couldn't help but believe my account of a 4 year old former tennis student intentionally stimulating herself with my sports marking cones on several occasions. I got spooked and quit teaching that demon the one time she said, “coach, I know your thing can grow” accompanied with some maniac laughter. So much for “Sweet, young, innocent thing”!

The talkshow also mentioned how young boys may demonstrate “peeping tom” or compulsive sniffing behavior without any prior introduction to sex or porn. Its true! Not just me, I also accidentally caught sight of a friend's younger brother sniffing the toilet seat right after a hottie came out from the washroom after peeing.



On a different note, a conversation back during NS with Jason who went on to start a fashion store went as such:

Jason: “Hey Jules, what's your 'Magic Number'”?

Julian: “Huh? What 'Magic Number' are you talking about? Is it to do with favorite number? Mine's '27' – if that's what you want to know. What about it?”

Jason: “Haiyoh! 'Magic Number' means, the number of times you can shoot in one session.. two hours.. Mine is 8.. You leh?”

Julian: “Since when did people ever refer to the number of times you cum as 'Magic Number'?”

How the hell does any guy manage to fire his bazooka 8 times in 2 hours? It needs to be charged you know? Anyhow, nope, folks I will not be revealing my “Magic Number” or whatever you call it here.. it's about as taboo for me as telling my age to a female from the era were pretty femmes were called “jute girls”. What I can say is, less than Jason. Grrr.

Most men, including thyself are rather fixated on how often, how many times, and how much release. I was actually repeatedly e-window-shopping for products that promised improvements to the above 3 areas.

Speaking of numbers, my numerology master actually told me that a person's friskiness can be told from his/her birthday.



A person of this birthday “selalu mau” (quoting my Malaysian-Chinese sinseh – always wants [sex]) is not only very horny and compulsive when it comes to sex, but also enjoys “painting”, for those of you who know what that means. When I learnt these calculations, scores of male friends were asking me to interpret their prospective girlfriend's birthdays to shortlist the ones with the highest and best sex drive.



Someone with the above birthday on the other hand, not only has a high sex drive, she also has a split personality particularly in bed, and can be a very talkative and noisy dominatrix at that! So pervs... if that sounds like your type, you'd wanna scout for girls of those two birthdates.

I don't have any frisky number combinations in my birthdate analysis. Thus I can only imagine just how highly-sex someone with such combinations can be.

I'd like to admit that, when I was single, I was on 3 dating sites, 3 meet-for-sex sites, and 2 online swinger groups (I'm shier than I look). I even paid for “Platinum Membership” on 2 of those sites – all in search of a good shag. I'd also like to tell that the results were very dismal – the prettier ones were either fishing for men with fat wallets or unserious, some were into their own kind, or not into NSA (No Strings Attached), and the rest were either fat or ugly as $#*@. Sigh again, paid for sex and still didn't get any.

Remember the song by Tamperer which goes:
“Is it SEX or is it LOVE? Is it SEX or is it LOVE?”

Sex. People who don't love each other can still have sex, but people who love each other by majority need ample doses of sex to remain in love.

The “Battle of the Fittest”, for male lions culminates in sex with the most number, or most desired of femmes. Among humans, “Battle of the Fittest” definitely applies. Either you're physically super fit, immaculately handsome, or financially well-endowed, or else, not a chance of bedding barbie.





I fully agree with the song that goes: “You and me baby, ain't nothing but mammals, so lets do it like they do on the discovery channel.”

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEVER GOT TO SEE ON STARBLOG: PART #1

HUGE Diff between this one and the one at http://starblog.stomp.com.sg/post.php?blogid=1222

I'm Already Lost! Don't You Dare Say “你能讲中文吗?” (Can you speak in Mandarin?)

Bad Communication, Bad Behavior, Stupid Questions and Nosey Parkers.

Over the weekend, I went for a workshop on Success Permissions, which involved understanding Energy Psychology and using its principles to clear my phobias, emotional blockages and negative repetitive patterns. At a point in the workshop, I was asked to think of an event I felt a very strong hatred toward. The event was “National Service Enlistment Swearing In Ceremony”.

I was smiling because I beat the system in sneaking in my camera phone.

I remember how the hound dogs (whose service has been recently extended from 45 to 50 years) barked at me to echo words I did not mean, about my allegiances to the nation. Not just once, but several times over. And that, if we were real men, we had to be loud and full-throated about it.

Why does being gungho about the scorned 2-year chore that stifled me of a professional tennis career equate to being a “real man”? I vividly recall how I and a couple of promising young men were verbally whipped and stripped of our intellect and social standing. I remember seething with a fury akin to Logan, a.k.a. Wolverine upon realising he was but a disposable pawn in Col. William Striker's plan.


I would have been touring around for international tennis/
tournaments if not forestalled by NS.

I put my hand up, and denied experiencing any such event, and was given an alternative task. There's no way I will forgive the system for racking up such great losses in income, opportunity, esteem, and most importantly, time. Don't discuss about being “The Good Soldier” or “Doing Your Part for Singapore” with me, EVER! Also, don't EVER make me swear CRAP about blah blah allegiance to some national slave-type activity.



Like... NPCC back in secondary school. I dropped out not long after went to a new cadet swearing in. Why not try the SPCA? Sorry, I'm not a dog-matic.

Don't EVER ask me for “Good-will Offerings”! As the word suggests, it's really about good will! How can I have good will if I never felt anything positive about a particular place? So hypocritical isn't it? Like, back at Nan Hua Primary School - I scorned the then-principal Mdm Fong who couldn't be more blatant to my parents in seeking more “good-will offering” for my acceptance into the school. Wasn't it because she and my paternal grandmother had an association in common and thus wanted to extend a favor? Plus, my parents already gave her/the school a red packet of $2000 when I first entered. She was not even the least bit trite about my class and 1/5 of the school going through one in a half semesters without electricity in classrooms, when the teachers and staff areas were fitted with 2 large ceiling aircon units per classroom size – which even required the construction of an outdoor power-housing unit. Ludicrous! I'm proud to have pioneered the $0.11 donation packet. She actually hauled me out during one assembly when I was primary 5 regarding this, in a bid to “humiliate” me. My logic? I nonchalantly explained that the number of cents to commensurate with my years in the school, that I'd give $0.12 the following year. I'm so glad when I heard several juniors have emulated my example in the years after.

Parents around... so all lights and equipment in working order...Wayang ah!

Don't EVER give me bad service and expect a commendation. School again. This is about my current institution, SMa School of Management. Students service is run by a bunch of largely incompetent and selfish bastards! (I must be clear that 2 or 3 or the new staff are really God-sends, and that this applies to the bulk.) What service? They expect students to keep to our decorum, but they do not keep to theirs! When I asked to come for an alternative time to attend a class, following the lecturer's instruction to check with them on his teaching schedule, I was given the whole “No. We will not disclose his lecture schedule to you. If there's any reason as to why you can't make it for your regular class, you are to submit a document excuse letter about your engagement. Even so, it would be subject to review.” Hello? Doesn't SMa stand for Singapore Manufacturer's Federation? Aren't you supposed to be encouraging enterprise? I'm self-employed and you wouldn't support my expansion of my business by even allowing me to sit in for another class just once? Then why on the other hand, why are we supposed to put up with the bunch of prudes who have all of a 2-week school vacation to print our new term notes, but only do it 15 minutes into class time, such that we have just the first lesson's notes only 45 minutes into the first lecture of the new term? Multiple times, not just once. Ridiculous.

About service again. Don't you even “我听不懂!你能讲中文吗?” me. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against China nationals here to make a living. But I have EVERYTHING against employers who put China nationals on the front lines of various service business, just because they're cheaper to hire. Singapore Bus Companies! Shame on you! You keep raising our fares, but bus drivers tell me you've been reducing the pay plan, such that locals won't even do it as a gainful employment. What's more, how can you expect Malays, Indians, Eurasians and Foreigners to communicate their questions on bus route? Are you thinking “ignorance is bliss”? That's so cheap! When I dine in a western food cafe or restaurant and get served by a Chinese national, I politely dismiss them and beckon the manager. While I can order in Mandarin, but why the hell should I order in Mandarin at a western food cafe? It's just unacceptable. Once, the owner of a Mediterranean cafe came over to ask if there was a problem with his staff. I totally flamed him and asked him what the hell his problem was, to hire so many people who are all obviously hopeless in understanding his menu. Shape up, and hire bilingual, or else ship out of my patronage EVER!

I still remember how a China waitress was adamant that Mojito is pronounced “Moh-Jee-Toh”, and wasn't willing to accept other pronunciations of the word.

Don't ever attempt to block the MRT doorways when people are exiting. Especially if I'm one of those exiting. Especially in at the interchanges and the heartland stops, there are scores of “kiasu” Singaporeans crowding to enter. I literally go ballistic. I stick my elbows out and ram my way forward. I shove/ram/topple idiots who can't follow the multi-language train announcements to “please stay behind the yellow lines and allow passengers to exit before boarding”. There was this uncouth douche who pushed a pram in even before anyone could exit and was making big side-to-side movements. Because his baby's legs were sticking out of the front, everyone including me had to be extra careful getting out so as not to cause hurt to the child. I told the jerk, “hey asshole, can't you wait for us to get out first?” And he engaged me for that. His meena wife too. They challenged me to call him “Asshole” again. I yelled back, “Hey it's not my fault you're fathering at 37, broke and can't afford to take your kid out in a car!” Stomp Seen! should have more of such errant train boarders in the “ugly singaporean” posts.

Scores of inconsiderate people, “Kiasu Singaporeans”.

Speaking of which, the Stomp Seen! is full of videos of “Ugly Singaporeans” eating or drinking on buses and trains. What could be key reasons for barring eating/drinking on public transport? Odours? - Severe body odour is far worse than any food smell, including durians. Mess? Fair enough. Litter? - But what if I ate neatly, clean up after myself and on the way out? I recall this one time Vanessa and I had the craziest, long day rushing from place to place that we literally had NO time to stop and eat. We had no breakfast, and no lunch, and were going to miss dinner too if she didn't have her California Handroll, and I didn't have two chicken wings on the go. But this spare-tired nosy bitch who probably had a 2 hour lunch-break and was on the way home for a nice home-cooked dinner just wouldn't cut us any slack. First up, she went, “excuse me. You see the signs? No eating and drinking on the bus.” We acknowledged, and we continued. Then she pursued again, “hey! Did you hear me? The two of you! No eating on the bus!” Vanessa glared at her, while I answered, “Yes, but we'll STILL going to eat! Unlike you, we haven't eaten ALL DAY, so go mind your own business” And I continued to munch. Then Vanessa noticed this prude started filming us discreetly with her phone's cam. I also “discreetly” made a middle-finger sign in the direction of her lens. I hope she's happy about that. Yes, we weren't supposed to, but we're knowingly breaking the rules, and no one else got encumbered or hurt in the process. I ever come across a group of school boys practicing card flourishing tricks with a deck of poker cards on a bus. But some bespectacled 38 year old prudish lady readily recognised that as (whispering VERY LOUDLY to her friend) “haiyoh! Gambling! What a disgrace to their school! OMG! Don't their school teach them about these vices? I'm gonna film this and post on Internet! Make sure I shame them and let their principal see!” Great God! How small minded can some people be.

This was late for last week's entry, but nonetheless,
working out helps deflate some pent up anger.

Just thinking of these instances of social retardation makes my blood boil. Looks like I gotta start using my energy reset methods to discharge before I go to sleep tonight.

HUGE Diff between this one and the one at http://starblog.stomp.com.sg/post.php?blogid=1222 Compare la

What I did today?

Today was quite an interesting one... ok let's skip to the interesting parts.. In the afternoon, I went to Natural Therapies Centre for my appointment with EFT and Chios Master, Wong SiewFan. This was all part of a followup to the Success Permissions workshop I been through about 2 weeks back.

I tell you... it's INSANE!... Just when I thought Kinesiology or Muscle Testing to show up subconscious thoughts and insecurities was crazy enough, she didn't have to do any of that! What she did though, was dangle this Token looking thing.. which looked like a Chinese Golden Ingot, and just waived it back and forth. And apparently, it could pick up emotions from me, and revolve clockwise, to indicate a yes, or anti-clockwise, to incicate a no. And without me lifting a finger, she was connecting with me and running a checklist, and totally sussing me out. It was so weird!

She recognised that I have some problems with being able to feel, and to be important, and identified that I also tended to take people forgranted when they're by my side, and covet them when they're gone. I couldn't disagree.. Alot more stuff as well.. spot on...

And she also tested through waiving that medallion that I had to sort out some 14 un-resolved conflicts in memories at the ages of 17 mths, 23 mths, 3 years old, 5 years old, 6 years old and 7 years old. And in treatment, I got so freaking emo about an episode of me at 3 years old..

You should totally try it out yourself. I'm feeling a hell lot better right now.

Later I was over to Andrew's place (Andrew is a young and successful lad that started up Carver Model Management among other businesses, including education), where him, Faye Hokulani, and I worked on our Internet Marketing project.

In the evening, I headed on for a karaoke session at my Grandaunt's vocal club, down at Hong Lim Complex. And I recorded the following video:



In the same session, Jacky, who happens to be President at the ToastMasters Capital club, got me hooked on a song "Bo Go Ship Da" by Kim Bum Soo with his fantastic rendition. This is the song..



Translation in English
No matter how I wait I cant go
next to you, crying
You only gave me pain and you didnt know me
Are you telling me to leave?

I miss you, I miss you
To the point where I hate myself
I want to cry..I want to kneel down
And if only everything didnt happen..
The memories where I loved you crazily..
Those memories haunt me
But i cant hide from this love any longer
I shouldnt do this
But i miss you to death x2

OMG... what a tear jerker right.... Shi bai!... I miss you already. I'm gonna seek you out.

Have you seen my post at Starblog?

OMG! It's SUCH A RIP OFF! Where did my pictures go? WTF.. it's plain as an empty toilet bowl... It hasn't got shit! Where did all the stuff I wanted to say go?

Check out the damage...

Grrr....

I just hate it when I'm given some juicy topic to write, and when I try to be engaging... I get censored.... because "The Singapore Readership is not ready for such content" blah blah blah... Look at our people! No wonder they're so bloody sheltered. I've overhead randy 16 year olds still mistaking that virginity can be lost in a kiss - not even on the lips but through a peck on the cheek! How ludicrous ain't it?

So whatever. I'll be posting up this week's post and the last that didn't entirely make it thru the media.

My Top Wishes, Pertaining to Internet Social Media Marketing.

I wish I had:

A video crew - So I can produce all kinds of whimsical crap with lots of special effects.
A sound crew - So I can parody any bloody song out there whenever I feel like it.
A webdesign crew - So I can just come up with concepts and have people do the dirty work.
A writing crew - I'm even too lazy to write.
A soundproof room with spotlights and diffuse lights - so I can make stupid videos any time of day I want without bothering anyone.

Saucy Pics of American Idol Katrina Darrell (Bikini Babe).. woo... Clamps cup between her boobs!

While I didn't manage to find some topless or nude photos of Katrina Darrell, the shameless starlet who did more a duel than duet with Kara DioGuardi at the American Idol Finals, I thought these pics would be pretty saucy...



I'm not so much of a girl-on-girl fan, but I do love cleavage and seeing stuff between cleavage. Here's more...



I thought Casey Carlson who covered Vanessa Carlton's "1000 Miles" at the audition is rather hot too!

Flab to Fit in 5 Weeks

This was a shot taken prior to my photoshoot for inclusion on the STOMP Starblog mainpage.

FLAB... Mind you, I even used baby oil to highlight the lines. And it's still like this.

Which would be this horrible unflattering picture... of all pics... (not my best angle).. Referring to the one below.


And this was taken just early last week, prior to my haircut. In initial week of training, I lost 1.5 kilo, but subsequently gained 3.5 kilo. All muscle.

And this is all part of the California Fitness Body Age Challenge. I don't regret it one bit. Feel ALOT better.

I Unblocked My Obstacles to Success at the 40th Success Permissions Workshop!

On Saturday, I attended a Success Permissions Workshop by Success Apex (Programme and website at the end of this post) and Dr Sunardas of Natural Therapies Centre. The course was on Energy Psychology and how words and emotions can affect our energy levels and success. During the course of the day, I learnt some Kinesiology Techniques and I also learnt a method to clear my phobias, and also, there was a facilitated segment that helped me clear a blockage to my attainment of success. Who would have guessed that it had earlier rootings than I would have thought! I also uncovered the real reason to some of my key decisions in life as well.
(Btw, that is NOT Dr Sunardas. Just another participant, 
helping another attendee in a clearing procedure I also went through)

I was told to observe myself for the next 21 days from completion of the course. Here are some of my observations:

(The one arrowed is me!)

Day 1 (Sunday, 17 May) - Nose kept running like a tap. Visited the toilet to pee like 20 times over a 15 hour period. Rather unusual. It seemed like the body was detoxing, even when I initially had little faith in some of the techniques learnt.
Day 2 (Monday, 18 May) - I slept really well the previous night. Good things started happening too.. A prospect for a corporate communications tool (Talkfusion) whom I thought was no longer interested SMSed to apologize for not keeping up with me, and arranged to meet me next Monday to re-look at the package. I opened my Forex Simulation account and discovered that my 5th day of testing was of an even more fabulous result than Day 4! OMG! $1421 in a Day! My target was only $1000! And I also made some money at Versace (Excelsior Hotel, Lvl 4, by the founders of the successful GioGio Male Host Club @ Lavender), and got to hang out with two friends, Aaron and Shino at the same time. Discovered that Shino's also into Quantum energy, and there're a couple of things I can learn from him.
Day 3 (Tuesday, 19 May) - I was supposed to head up to KL to pick up new FusionExcel Stock, however, as DBS messed up my PayPal transfer, I had to delay this trip. I thought I was in for a long boring day. However, one of my new and gracious tennis students called up to check if I was available for a lesson, and I was! In the early evening, I was also preparing for my backup music for tonight's trip down to Versace, and I was so thrilled that so many of them are available on Youtube! I accompanied Griblit for jamming, and during the dinner before that, at Zac's Cafe btw, was real good! 3 long jumbo sausages (2 long, 1 coiled) with potato mash for just $7.50! I wasn't expecting to be stuffed. They undercooked the coil sausages, so I got another one FREE. I initially wanted to head down to work my second night at Versace, especially when Shino said there's a good crowd expected. However, as I didn't intend to stay out past 1 last night, I decided against it. Besides, though the money was tempting (more capital for FOREX!), I figured I ought to keep some Work-Life balance, and also not keep Griblit up too late waiting for me as she had school this morning. I ended the night by entering some trades using a Forex system I'm testing.
Day 4 (Wednesday 20 May) - I woke up feeling real refreshed. Haven't had such a complete sleep in a while. Walked Griblit out to catch a taxi, and I got back to check my $1000/Day Forex Simulation Project. OMG! $1568 in a day! As I decided to go live with my method, albeit with a smaller lot size, I netted $200 - sounds small... but it's 432 pips! The biggest taking yet! Will continue to experiment on live and gradually bring my lot sizes up to test account's.

I'm gonna continue to count my blessings. It's been a blast, and I know that since its only Day 4, I'm only just getting started. I've unlocked my earning potential to be capable of earning 10.5 times of my highest earned in a single year. I believe this is possible, especially given the 1 week of successful $1000/Day Forex Simulation Project's success, and as well as my new appointment at Versace.

The details of this workshop can be found at http://www.fftcentre.com/sp.html While this workshop costs a 4-figure sum, they also have a 3 hour introductory workshop at $127. As I'm part of a business exchange network, I can get you in to the introductory workshop FOC, and the main workshop at a NICE discount. So do leave a comment here, or on Facebook (Search for Julian Wong). The next intro workshop will be on 1 June.

Craigslist to replace "Internet Brothel" : Prostitution via Craigslist in Singapore too!


I first got to know about Craigslist through a Canada-educated friend who used it to find foreign students to study here, as part of his education marketing job. At the time when I was fresh from my previous relationship, I did look through the personal ads in Craigslist in the hope of finding some company. However, all I ever found through the "W4M" (Women for Men) ads, were scores of posts, I believe not by genuine persons, but by pimps operating under several nicknames. NOTHING was for free. At the time, there was NO ONE around for friendship without financial benefits.

Read about the full story from CNN.com.

Updates to Singapore Phone Scam

Multiple people might be targetted. Benjamin, my girlfriend's bandmate's mother received a similar phonecall with regard to "her son being nabbed". Her reply? "Haha. My son's in University. Beat more la!" 

The caller speaks in a mix of mandarin and hokkien profanity.

My grandmother received 2 more calls. Both calls, my aunt answered. In the second call, the same called to ask if she had the money ready. Having ascertained this is a hoax, she played along and replied that she needed to go to the bank.

15 minutes later, she received the 3rd call. She said she had yet to go to the bank. The same caller said this time, he wanted $40,000.  She pretended, "sorry, I'm out of job. I only have $500."

Then the caller was convinced and said, "fine then... $700, and I release him", "give me your handphone number, so we can arrange for meetup later." 

My aunt then said, "Sorry.. I'm out of job. Can't afford to have a phone".

Then the caller told her to go borrow a phone and that he'll be calling back again.

My mom had made a trip down to the police post, and was told to work together on apprehending the scammer.

DO NOT at anyone time divulge any personal details, address or phone numbers to the scammers. They may use pressure tactics to try and lure the weak-minded out.

Beware! Singapore Phone Scam. Don't Be The Next Target. Please read and forward.

This morning, my maternal grandmother received a call from an unlisted number. The person on the line claimed to have nabbed my 2nd Uncle, and demanded $20,000. Knowing that my 2nd Uncle is tough and used to get into fights - and won, throughout his youth and early working life, she asked the person how she could be sure that he was really nabbed. The unidentified caller merely held the phone somewhere else, and my grandmother heard non-distinct whimpering and crying noises from a male in the background. At that point, as my Mom and Aunt happened to be at her place, my grandmother smartly put the phone on speaker-mode so that the two could know what was going on. She told the caller that she wanted to make a call to my Uncle to ascertain that he was indeed captured. However, the caller insisted that he would not hang up until my grandmother could agree to pay the ransom. 

I just received a phonecall from my mother, who phoned to ascertain that I was ok. In the span of time that my grandmother was stalling time with the caller, my mom and aunt had called and smsed everyone in the immediate family to confirm that they were all ok. 

We thus verified that the phonecall was a hoax, and an attempt to scam my grandmother of ransom. Subsequently, my mother lodged a report to the police, and sought their help to trace the number of the prank caller. 

Within minutes, they received another phone number, and the caller claimed to be a policeman, to ask for further information. Out of concern that the 2nd call was bona-fide, from the police, and not a timed response by the earlier prankster, my family members refused to divulge further info on address and personal particulars unless the said caller would meet them at the nearby neighbourhood police post. 

I did not pick this out from any lame sms or forwarded email. This is a real experience that my maternal grandmother, mom, and aunt just witnessed. I just wanted to type this out immediately and forewarn all of you, because the scam-prankster might be part of a syndicate and have more targets. DO NOT be quick to agree to paying the demanded ransom. It could well be fake, but warn the folks at home to promptly verify everyone's safety as well.

Androgyny, Threesomes, Abs and Thongs.

When the looking glass is more than buddy.

Here's an excerpt to my Latest StarBlog Posting..


For the longest time, I have been a narcissist, perpetually in love with myself.

Ricky, my childhood buddy ever did a sharing over one of my birthday gatherings, before he renounced his citizenship, "hey fellas, did you know Julian is always about the mirrors? Did you know that all the times we hung out, if he ever passed a reflective glass panel, he'd go.. 'OMG... check it out.. which Superstar is that?' He used to have me fooled that there was really some celeb in the shop, but then I got used to the fact that he was just rambling about himself again".

Even when I ran in track and cross country meets, I ever ran into people or even lamp posts... yes lamp posts, more than once - because I was too caught up admiring how my shadow was striding away. That, I felt, was way more exciting than eyeballing the long, dreary path ahead.

Ying: "OMG, why are you flashing me?

Me: "No... Check this out!!! I never realised my body was this fantastic."

The Gym Training is Working!

Ever since commencing my Body Age Challenge at California Fitness Novena, I'm feeling the benefits! Thomas, my trainer told me that I might feel intense soreness post-workout for the first 3-4 sessions due to heavy lactic acid buildup. Since then, my body has acclimatized well! On Thursday, we had YET ANOTHER leg buster workout. Strangely, it wasn't half dreadful. And, even though I was 25 mins late as I overslept after a 530am return from a 2 Day 1 Night trip to KL to stock more FusionExcel products, I finished the planned routine in what little time left! Thomas also commented that my fitness and endurance had improved. Unfortunately, some of the less welcome gain would be my bodyweight. I started at 71.8kg, and now I'm 73.6kg. Bugger! BMI gone up! But I feel leaner.. and Thursday I will know just how things are working out, as he's gonna do me another In-Body Composition Analysis to find out whether my Body Fat has reduced, and Muscle Balance improved. Owing to improper leg rehab since my road accident last year, my left leg took like over 2 weeks to get over the strain from the first Leg Buster workout. However, Thomas' assisted stretching proved to be very useful. He also taught me some new Gluteal Stretch the last session. 

Sorry I keep procrastinating, but I'll be posting up videos soon!

In the meantime, here's what I look like now! I'm pleased so far!


However, still a far cry from my best shape before...


Meanwhile... Check for my latest STOMP STARBLOG post after 1pm today!

Why I'd rather not earn your money even though I enjoy teaching your daughter tennis

I enjoy teaching tennis to your daughter because she is positive, energetic, fast learner, and grateful. 

However, the list stops at your daughter. In actual fact, I'd rather not earn your money. Yes, which means unfortunately for your daughter, you could take her somewhere else. 

  • You are stingy
  • You always ask for timeslots that do not factor in a young person's (me) need to go out and have fun.
  • You fail to acknowledge what good I'm doing for your daughter's tennis, in comparison to what LITTLE she could have achieved with the other coach on the next court.
  • I might feel slightly better if you gave me some other sideline business, i.e. buy Pharmanex G3 from me, or buy Quantum Pendant from me, but no... even that, you want some ridiculous discount.
  • You expected me to teach at 6pm on a Friday that is a public holiday (May Day) and would not consider having the same lesson on the morning - perhaps because you, and not she, does not want to get out of bed. Come on, she is old enough to stroll down to the tennis court, which is safely within the same premises of the condo. Obviously, I cancelled the lesson, because I had BETTER things to do.
  • Today, you smsed to say "Please be punctual for the lesson, as our time is also precious". 

What the hell? I told you Fridays are not good for me, but you say that if it were any other day, it'd interfere with your daughter's tuition, homework, and whatever else. So fine... Fridays... even if it means I have to have a quick shower, skip dinner to go meet my friends. For your daughter's sake, not your sake. Then I tell you that I already have a student who learns with me 5-6pm on Fridays, and for YOUR DAUGHTER's sake, I managed to get them him to start at 430pm. The previous week, he was not able to book the tennis court in his place for the earlier hour, and thus, I suggested to end the class at 5.45, and charged a lesser fee, so that I could return to teach your daughter at 6 or so. I SPECIFICALLY told you, that such was the case, and allow me some time for traffic delay, given it was a Friday. Eventually, there were traffic delays, and I only reach the court at 6.14. At that moment, I had an SMS from you. It read:

"Then let's cancel today". 

However, I only saw this after the lesson which I ended at 7.15pm. I'm wondering... how on earth can ANYONE be so FUCKING UNAPPRECIATIVE? 

So what? You want me to cancel my earlier student's class since he couldn't get the court at the right time? If I hadn't shifted his timing, your daughter would not be able to do class with me on a weekly basis. You want to deprive another kid of your daughter's age the chance to learn? How selfish can you get?

Look now, I already told you, I DON'T TEACH TENNIS FOR A LIVING. I still teach the few students I have left out of passion for the game. I have other sources of income. I'm barely affected financially if it rains out all week. I DO NOT NEED YOUR BUSINESS

So stop talking as if I do, and being rude.

In fact, I'm prepared you to give you a refund of all the unclaimed lessons if you piss me off again later, at 6pm. In CASH. I have it ready, in my wallet. 

Probably, someone might hire me for FULL-RATE in your absense, and tip on top of that. Speaking of which, have you no tact? You video tape all my lessons for revision and study, but don't offer me an additional fee!

You just wait and see what I'm going to say to you. Trust me, it will be anything but kind.

How To Remove Leg Hair, Without Cuts! Using Veet?

I've kindly prepared this video for all who might be similarly interested in removing their body hairs. In this case, I had to prepare for a photoshoot, and couldn't afford the time or pain of a full-body wax. This proved to be rather efficient... One of my more popular online videos!



Here's what you need to construct a fake monster penis.

Here's what you need to construct a monster penis and balls (what I used at least)

1) A can of hair removal cream, I use Veet by the way.

2) A thin, small plastic bag (as shown in picture)

3) Two tangerines.

Put them together, you should have the following effect, Voila!




Goofing around is so much fun!

STOMP STARBLOG POST: “Porked” out of my senses - Julian Wong

Topic: Recession, pay cuts, more people unemployed, and now swine flu. What's your mood now? How do all these affect you, your lifestyle and your friends?

“Porked” out of my senses.
Julian Wong - Current mode? Nonchalant. I never knew what the "swine" in swine flu meant till I wanted to write about a first-hand account of a swine flu conspiracy which I heard from a friend. Only then, I looked up the dictionary and found that "hog" "swine" and "pig" were interchangeable in the context of hog/swine/pig flu. 


I'm less affected than bothered by all the brouhaha about Swine Flu, H1N1 and the like in the media. Back since Mass Communication days, I've weaned off the press, knowing that Media is pretty much just an orchestration of what the ruling government wants people to think and concern about. What I see is like *Rolls Eyes* , By God! Same Shit Different Day! (SSDD) Can't we have something new for a change.

Sure... and then came the whole AWARE saga. Confusing as hell! Till now, I'm not aware if it was the outgoing committee or the new committee that spurred the inclusion of defecto sexual orientation in the school sex education curriculum. Local online blog aggregators' top 10 spots have 3/10 spots taken up with pointless headings like "Leaked letter from AWARE discussion". Look I really don't care! Singapore youth have been labelled as apathetic, ignorant and egotistical when it comes to national affairs and the elections. I don't really enjoy the Mundane Members of Majority- you know, the homogenous looking herds of same-expressioned folks along Orchard Road or Raffles Place, but I just joined the club.

Back then, Fat = Prosperous. Now, Fat = Stupid, Poor, & Frustrated.

This afternoon while I was discussing TalkFusion video email solutions with a Social Media Marketeer at Atrium@Orchard's TCC, on the neighbouring table were two fat shits.

One was telling the other: “Did you know there's this ex-course mate at my uni? She landed this $2000 a week job! I on the other hand, am earning $2000 a month. What the fuck right?

Then the other fat shit said: “Ya lor... I'm only earning a few hundred more than you. Wah. $2000 a week is really alot. She must have had very good grades!”

The first fat shit: “Ya...don't really know her, but I think she must be a top student.”

Wake up, pieces of fat oily shit blobs! When was it all about grades? What era do you think this is? Confucius' era? Where every self-respecting person would be taking the government entrance exams, and be awarded posts based on grades?

What about aptitude? Yes, she was probably above average at school, but probably did well at aptitude tests too. What leaves this fat shit at? Well, she scored crap at school (by her analogy), and probably didn't pass the aptitude tests either, or didn't even persevere and hold out for the good job unlike her “high-flyer” ex-schoolmate.

So there she is, stinking, unsightly, oily, neglected and abandoned – at the bottom of the food chain.

Real Funny! Have you heard the Ponyo On The Cliff By The Sea Pork Version Swine Flu Remix? Laugh Your Head Off!

Amid the current Swine Flu crisis, I decided that something I came up with sometime ago but procrastinated on producing has become current again! So thus, there you have it, a sing-a-long complete with lyrics.

Why We Shouldn't Eat Pork

Bad effects of pork consumption

Pig's bodies contain many toxins, worms and latent diseases. Although some of these infestations are harbored in other animals, modern veterinarians say that pigs are far more predisposed to these illnesses than other animals. This could be because pigs like to scavenge and will eat any kind of food, including dead insects, worms, rotting carcasses, excreta (including their own), garbage, and other pigs.

Influenza (flu) is one of the most famous illnesses which pigs share with humans. This illness is harbored in the lungs of pigs during the summer months and tends to affect pigs and humans in the cooler months. Sausage contains bits of pigs' lungs, so those who eat pork sausage tend to suffer more during epidemics of influenza. Pig meat contains excessive quantities of histamine and imidazole compounds, which can lead to itching and inflammation; growth hormone, which promotes inflammation and growth; sulphur-containing mesenchymal mucus, which leads to swelling and deposits of mucus in tendons and cartilage, resulting in arthritis, rheumatism, etc.

Sulfur helps cause firm human tendons and ligaments to be replaced by the pig's soft mesenchymal tissues, and degeneration of human cartilage. Eating pork can also lead to gallstones and obesity, probably due to its high cholesterol and saturated fat content. The pig is the main carrier of the taenia solium worm, which is found it its flesh. These tapeworms are found in human intestines with greater frequency in nations where pigs are eaten. This type of tapeworm can pass through the intestines and affect many other organs, and is incurable once it reaches beyond a certain stage. One in six people in the US and Canada has trichinosis from eating trichina worms which are found in pork. Many people have no symptoms to warn them of this, and when they do, they resemble symptoms of many other illnesses. These worms are not noticed during meat inspections, nor are they killed by salting or smoking. Few people cook the meat long enough to kill the trichinae. The rat (another scavenger) also harbors this disease. There are dozens of other worms, germs, diseases and bacteria which are commonly found in pigs, many of which are specific to the pig, or found in greater frequency in pigs.

Pigs are biologically similar to humans, and their meat is said to taste similar to human flesh. Pigs have been used for dissection in biology labs due to the similarity between their organs and human organs. People with insulin-dependent diabetes usually inject themselves with pig insulin.

Here's a popular Youtube Video on Pork.


Is Pork Forbidden to Muslims Only?

The Jews and Christians are also forbidden from eating pork. Here is a quote from the Old Testament to that effect: "And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase." Deuteronomy 14:8

Many Christians believe that this verse was directed only at the Jews. But Jesus himself says during the Sermon on the Mount; "Think not that I am come to destroy the Law, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill." Some Christians say that, after a vision by St. Peter, God cleansed all animals and made them fit and lawful for human consumption. If ALL animals are cleansed by Peter's vision, this includes dogs, cats, vultures, and rats: but you just don't see people getting excited about a cat-meat sandwich like they do over barbecued pork or bacon. Others say that it was Paul who rescinded the law forbidding pork to humans, in order to appease the Romans, who enjoyed the taste of pig-meat. Many excuses have been given, but none are very sound.

Many Far Eastern traditions also discourage the eating of pork. The 3,000 year old Confucian Book of Rites says, "Agentleman does not eat the flesh of pigs and dogs." Although many Chinese are avid eaters of pork today, physicians of ancient China recognized pork-eating as the root of many human ailments. Buddhists, Jains and Hindus usually avoid eating any kind of meat.
