Hmm,  with the new year, we have, note: have to give thanks for everything we had.. blah blah...

Well... Lets say I'm very, very thankful for all the great friends I've garnered..Yuking for one.. Helped me lots! Thanks! As well as Sparky. Who shared with me nearly everything. One year older. One year wiser, and as I and Sparky put it, "one year closer to our deaths"

May the light shine forever!

Forgiveness. That is what i would want to speak about today.

If one holds a grudge, it is akin to holding a hot stone with the purpose of throwing it. But in the end. You get hurt. I think that is why most religions preach forgiveness. Because it is one of the more powerful aspects in life we can wield. After love and hope. I think forgiveness stems from love but it may not be necessarily so.

One who grasps these mentioned values and holds them close to the heart are one of the few naive and weak people you will meet in life. But you will also find these people innocent and never falling. For with these values. You will overcome the hardest of hits, pass the darkest of nights and still manage to find your feet even after crawling out of the deepest of pits. Find these people.

And cherish them, no matter if it was a five minute meeting or a lifelong friendship.
-Alson

This is to Liz.

Why put 'him'? Why not just put down my name? I'm tired of your childish ways of thinking. You never did cherish anyone. Why sully me? Calling me dumb? Why not take a look in the mirror? I did you no wrong, in fact, had even helped you in the past. I admit, i have to thank you though, for teaching me that people to the likes of you, no matter how smart or influential you foolishly believe yourself to be, you'll never gain any friends who would open their hearts to you.

You bitch and whine about your own problems. But you never think of other's. The universe, your little world which you live in, does not revolve around you. Of course, the message might not get through, considering how self-centred you are.

Have you considered what were those 'small' problems are? Of course, the high and uppity miss won't dirty her hands with considering others would she? She's too high for that.

Pity, i am too, fool enough to invest in something that will always bite me back. But at least i've learnt something.
-Alson

Oh man, just found out that Sparky would be staying for the entire week. Just entered into a collaboration with her. Hopefully, everything will turn out great.

Also I have gotten my PSP! Yay! Playing FFT(Final Fantasy Tactics) now and seriously? I'm only beginning the game and have so far spent up to four hours I think. Great games such as this should be banned as they waste too much of one's life away...

-Alson

In the darkest of nights,

the shadows leap, 

the chanting sounds,

And monsters rise

-Alson

Yawn.. The afternoon... is warm and fuzzy.. I want to sleep.. Right... Sparky comes online this weekend! Whoot! Christmas is coming! Bigger Whoot! Yawn...

A letter to Santa

Dear Santa,

How are you? Well, i know i'm not really qualified to request for a present and all that because i've been mouthing off my math teacher.. But how about if i request a present for someone else?

Well, I do hope that you get yourself a GSM 2000 Nitch and Lite rocket powered boots(You know, the ones that the military uses but never tells anyone). They are really zippy and will get you round the world in seconds(Very useful too for delivering presents through the windows of HDB flats). Oh yes, i sincerely apologise for the lack of any lack of parking lots on christmas night because singapore is a very small place you see?

But if you do manage to find one, i have enclosed a weekend parking ticket just for your sleigh(so you don't have to waste time and breath cursing the samman auntie).

Oh, yes, just in case, i have too enclosed a empty cashcard and a cashcard reader just in case you run into any erp gantries that might still be open during that time to 'ease' traffic congestion. Just remember to top it up. I heard that got samman if you drive.. Wait, fly through the gantry without a loaded cashcard.

Merry christmas!
-Javier and Alson

I'm starting to hate messenger now.. The loading never starts. I have waited even until the connection to the server was timed out. Ok, on to other things.

Yes! Finished my first work of fiction! Finally.. Now, its in its editing stage. Some of it reads awkwardly so yeah. Need some work on my vocabulary and grammar.

Well. On to work! Part two here i come!

The guy-gal theorem

Been sitting round my head a little. Thought i should post it.

Guys, try to understand gals. Of course, they usually fail.
=
When they do, they usually lose the upper hand in arguing.
=
Thus, when the rule 'if ya can't beat them, join em' comes into play.
=
Therefore, guys tend to agree with girls on everything.
=
Hence, the rule 'she is always right' is true.

-Alson

Had a rather engaging talk with a girl yesterday(yeah. Wow. I seem to be talking about girls nowadays..) well.. I wondered if our lives. What is it there for? What do we live for? The biological cycle dictates that our lives are just for the continuation of the species. But.. Humans have developed conscious thought(along with it thousands of problems). Thought that is not driven by need. Surely our lives are supposed to have some other purpose.

Once, i have read that our bodies which we view as a singularity(me), is actually many different cells, billions upon trillions of these small items, each without its own purpose other than the one it was created to serve. All of which are connected in so intricate a manner, that we actually view ourselves as a whole rather than a collective of sorts.

So what is our purpose? Mankind has created so many things to connect himself to the rest of the world. Is our purpose that one of we find faster and better ways we might connect each other? Might we all be, one day, lose our individuality as nations and merge to form one pangea? Maybe, maybe not. This is but a simple statement that which would allow you to build your own theories upon.

Would you control your destiny?

Back

ok. Back from my foray into cameron. Basically, the trip was slightly better than boring mainly because of my cheery tour guide, who, if he was not there, it would have been horrible. Many shopping trips into various supermarts. All of which sell only food. Oh. Speaking on food, the meals there, which i would mean lunch and dinner, were awfully much. Too many things. View wasn't bad, nor good. Mostly, my seat faced the wall of the mountain. Much to my disgust.

It set me thinking though. What are you grateful for? For one, i am grateful for having great pals, a wired city(it gets awkward sometimes when speaking of new things to Sparky.) and a hobby which helps me in life.




What are you grateful for?
-Alson

I hate going overseas. Now, I'm potentially going to a place which has no entertainment, null, zero, empty, devoid, nothing. How many other words I can find for boring you say? Bah humbug. 

As you can see, there are a few changes to the duty roster. With Yuking taking over the cooking, navigations,  lookout and cleaning while I and my first mate finish this round of drinks and cards eh? Oh sailing through the mighty sea without a licence... Yo ho ho a pirate life's for me!

Ok, on the more serious topics. Well, I have been up and typing the entire day, maybe thats why my back hurts. I think I found a new artist. X-Ray Dog, go for it.

-Alson 

These days guys. Working on a new piece of work, so many things i could have wasted your time on. Or entertained you. But to my dear reader, you. I am, or will not be posting anytime soon for this work requires my outmost attention. I have but only three days to work on it as i am going overseas. Sparky must get the work before I leave.
-Alson

Dudes. So sorry for the late posting. Well, this weekend has been a blast for me. However, what i wondered was where had all the everyone gone? My entire contact list has virtually been empty. And i expected it to be throbbing with energy..

Firstly, i thought about activities, such as ccas and immediately decided against it. The day which i had wondered was on sunday, and the ccas dont operate on the weekends. At not more than one time, my friend, i had only a maximum of six on my contact list.

The next thought was work. I mean, those kids foolishly signed themselves up for work and a reasonable number of them should be at work yes? No. If i am correct, only four work in the mornings, most of the others do night work.

I scratched my head a little and sat there for a moment. Then another flash of inspiration caught me. Teenagers are night dwellers! So? You say, well, i am one of the rare few (self praise) who can manage to wake up before 11. (I slept at 12.30 last night) obviously it was too early for the rest! Surely that would have solved my question? Ah. No.

Problem was that i am nearly continuously on throughout the day(yeah right). Well, most of the times, but that did not exceed the amount of six. Although there was this one time at night i managed to see eight online at once.

All that and still no? Well, they could be bored and not log on. But it seems like not the case. During term hours i have more people online(although its not relevant to mention 85% are usually frantically asking for solutions to answers on the day's homework). Well then, i chanced upon the most fantastic idea that i have came up with so far.

Could the above all be combined? Surely that will make up the numbers. And yes, that does make up the numbers. Most of it anyway..(some might have blocked me for all i know)

But i'm not that annoying...



Am i?
-Alson

The hundredth post

Today Sparky came online and unsurprisingly, i found it hard to do anything else. No offence guys, and gals. But she only comes online during weekends and well.. You understand.

Many a time I have laughed but didn't put 'lol' or 'haha' cause there were simply too smany times i giggled over here.

Well.. Nothing much today. Again. Unless you count eating a plain congee. With olive and salted fish. Urgh. I like olive myself but the salted fish.. It was too salty.

I have no idea what people see in desperate housewifes. Its just another household politics show. If you know what pulls people to it, hell, just leave a message why.

Lobby (my freshwater crustasion) managed to lift himself nearly all the way up the tank. Don't underestimate these creatures. One even managed to escape in the past. Heh. Explains the lines of water i found in the living room after it escaped.
-Alson

Here i am. Sitting through the rain. A slight breeze blows by me, ruffling my clothes, bringing with it a kiss of calmness in the midst of the chaotic rumble of the thunder.

Here i am. Sitting in a corner of the house. Fiddling with my phone, feeling the cooling sigh of the wind that passes me. Listening to the patter of the rain.

You say we are done. Finished. But you left without saying why. As i lean in this corner, something is pressing into my back, but that is minuscule compared to the sharp ache that i am feeling now.

You are mean. You know that? Capturing my heart in a single glance. So many silly things i did, just for your attention. Your smile.

So beautiful. As you always were. Many a time i paused my steps outside the music room. Hearing you play. Notes.. Scales. Cruel ones, each only serving to draw the unwitting in. Suffice to say, i was hopelessly attracted to you.

Would the rain stop? What do you think? Funny as it seems but rain has the same numbers as pain. 7246.

They say time never waits. But for you girl, I'll stop time itself. I've never said these three words before to anybody you know? But then again, they were only reserved for you.

I love you.
-Alson

Early and gaming.

Bah. Nothing much except that I managed to waste a considerable amount of resources. One more day till Sparky. Not sure if mom will come back..

Nobody is online in messanger.. I wonder... Watching Transformers. As you already know, I watch nearly everything. Its ok, but I've watched it before. So no surprises.

Bah. I dont have to water my plant. Its been recycling water. Like Earth. Continuing on my story writing. And getting hungry, wonder what time mom will be home?

Minibond series, I guess you all should have seen this? Well, I don't think its anyone's fault, since they also had no prediction that the market would fall so fast. But its sad for everyone, since humans would pin the blame on the banks. And the banks lose money, and there is a credit crunch since everybody is afraid to pass money around since they are afraid of going bankrupt too.

I think PSLE should not be so commercialised, people giving their children the best, yes, but so what? You're just hard-training them.. No use apparently, when they go out to work.

-Alson

Finished The Amethyst Road. Quite... an interesting read. Considering its about a girl and a guy traveling on a road. Discovering who they really are. It twists quite predictably. Probably came from reading too much novels, maybe thats why it didn't surprise me. Much. But still, since I control my 

I would recommend you to pick it up if you have nothing much to do.

Rating :3.5/5

Argh. Sparky REALLY does only come online during weekends.. Man, my source of amusement. Gone.. That girl is a testimony to how witty one can be. Looking forward to her being online.

My hamster is extremely cute. It, he, curls up in a foetal position when sleeping. A round, living, furry ball of cuteness. :]

Lost One

Well, the captain would like to say that kuay chap requires a huge amount of skill to eat. Stupid...*Noodles slip down* Chopsticks.. Also, one, if eating in a group. Has to have a quick mind, and an even quicker hand if one is to eat most of the other incredients.

Found an old friend yesterday. Then lost her. Apparently, she isn't the girl that I had known from the past. She had... changed. It's extremely sad, she was one of the more active and outgoing ones. But I think now, she has overstepped the line between good taste and pure wildness.

In life. We lose some, we gain some. I only wish that I knew what to do..

On a lighter tone, my parsley that i had not yet cooked, after putting it in a bottle of water. I'm glad to say I've given it a new lease of life. I like plants. Easy to grow and fulfilling. The chili plant i had before, died due to some insects. Oh, i too, have a terrianium which i tried to grow chili plants in(silly me) which failed and now houses algae and suprisingly, a colony of small, white insects which only came after the algae. Blessing in disguise huh?

How to Better your English Essays!

Aye, the promised land.. I mean guide.

One: Always use proper English.

Not everywhere, but at most places, like on your blog, try to practice using proper English, that why, your blog will seem more professional and its liable to draw in other people than your usual viewers.

Two: Characters

Oh please. So many essays I've read. None, absolutely none, of your characters seem real. Make them real. Give them a human edge, nobody likes a perfect character. At least, not me. Shape their personailities. I don't know why some essays are given 21/30 when their characters are so weak. I just have no idea.

Three: Believable Plots

There is where you all, mostly fail. Plots that are solid are more likely to score higher than those are not. Use your brains, and ask yourself, is it believable? Can the event happen according to the circumstances? No? Tear it all up and start rewriting. That is the only way to be better.

-Alson

Earning cash?!

Man, looks like whenever its the holidays =  Ways to make cash. Or, WTMC. I feel that this is laughable. When kids try to sell clothes I mean. Its laughable at best, commendable at worse.

Argh, first mate took a vacation, mopping the floor of this deck here is backbreaking, now that I am doing it. Cleaning three rooms with their various knick-nacks is a feat in its own right. I deserve a medal!

Thousand curses! I still have to work out the Bit Torrent! I can't do it. I JUST CAN'T DO IT! All that talk about opening your floodgates for the torrent to work... Curses..

Just got news that my PSP is... Denied. What the... Seems like its a lil too expensive but as I always say, can't get something good if you dont sink in the money first.
