::I am so tired. Last night I slept at 5 am again which caused me to miss another class because my biological clock has been upsetted. I feel so drained, but from what, I know not.

For the time being, I feel that I just wanna be alone. Get myself away from all the insanities of the world, the rat race, the incessant crowds and shut myself up in my room and not venture out 1 inch.

I do not desire human company anymore ( at least for now) simply because I am tired of trying. I keep trying but to what end? A deadend. Yes. A deadend. It is futile. For now I am content in my own private little fantasy world and I really hope I can live there for the rest of my life.

I love my newly built PC. In times of lonliness and crisis, its there for me. I can just log on and play games, listen to music, surf the net etc. Its much better this way. A fantastic source of escape from the real world. I bloody hate the real world. It stinks.

I love it this way. The simple way.::

::I am so sorry for having neglected this blog for some time. To all my friends and readers who occasionally visit my site for juicy stories, I offer my most sincere apologies. As I am currently working on my book ( which hopefully one day makes it to the publishers, I do not have adequate time and energy to actually blog about my life.

However, lately, I have been quite upset over certain issues going on in my life. Everything has not been going well for me ( oh well, what's new). Its amazing how people can think I am happy go lucky everytime and actually think I am noisy, failing to see beyond the appearance. But well, I guess thats the problem with modern day society, this obssession with the outer appearance of things. Its ok. I think I accept it. I am too tired to critique society and its flaws and etc. Its comes to a point where I concede defeat. Whats the point when people won't even bother to change or make things better?

I give up. I won't bother anymore. I will no longer share any of my sociological theories or any of my innermost thoughts anymore. This will be the last time I blog about my own thoughts and feelings or frustrations or anything else u want to call it. From the next post onwards, I am going to post about trivial stuff and everyday stuff. Thats it.

::I never quite believed in Chinese proverbs until recently when my very own behaviour behooves me to appreciate the genius of whoever came up with this exquisite little string of proverb: The lakes and the mountains are easy to change but the basic character of a human being is hard to shift ( Translate into Mandarin).

However, recent events in my short but eventful life has made me realise that the sage who coined this wise proverb is a genius for he has captured the very essence of human behaviour and deserves a place alongside the pantheon of western philosophers such as Freud and Plato ( Both Freud and Plato had to resort to writing lengthy essays to explain human behaviour but this genius here hit the target with only a single sentence. How cool is that?!)

In order to accomodate the not-so-friendly and vivacious local-bred Singaporean girls and in a valiant attempt to please my parents and my ancestors by trying to get myself a girlfriend who would, hopefully, become my wife, I took the advice of some of my friends who told me I was too forthcoming in my display of emotions towards girls that I have an interest towards. Emotions in the Singapore dating climate is a no-no. Any displays of strong and intense affection towards one you like in Singapore is termed "coming on too strong" or carries the negative connotation of being "overtly and overly aggressive".

Instead, being able to find "love" means one has to play incessant mind games so as to heighten the fantasy level in a relationship. One has to constantly suppress how one feels for the other pary so as not to be labelled as "needy", "clingy", "pushy". Asking for a girl's msn or trying to start a conversation with a Singaporean girl is almost akin to rape as I get the stares or the cold treatment from girls who thinks that I have sex and rape on my mind 24/7.

Hence, I tried to change my "aggressive" and "emotional" behaviour to fit into what the Singaporean dating scene would deem "appropriate" and suppressed myself. But to what end? I just couldnt take it because it just isnt me. I can't help it if I love too intensely. I can't help it if I come so close to become a modern real-life Romeo. I figured that if girls here can't take it, what the heck. Who gives a hoot. Would Singaporean girls ( not all are like that. There are obviously nice ones who already are attached, unfortunately) All these shit and trouble and nonsense just to "love" and procreate. I rather not. Fact is, if guys want to just bed girls, they don't have to jolly well go through all these shit.

But oh, I still want to find a mate. But it sure ain't going to be some unfriendly, unreasonable, unrealistic, eogistic and selfish Singapore girl I am going to lay the red carpet for and pretend she is Queen Cleopatra. Thailand and Vietnamese brides might do just fine ;p::

::Cancer/Leo
July 19 to July 23

Cancer is the fourth sign of the Zodiac; Leo is the fifth. Those born on the Cancer/Leo cusp have the vitality and ambition to be successful in their creative endeavors. Creativity is one of their keywords, and their caring nature ensures that the benefits of their imaginative powers help others. Cancer/Leos turn to nurturing the family group and take pride in their warm hospitality. They are emotional and traditional, interested in heredity and ancestors. Cancer/Leos can be prominent on stage and in film, as their natural ability to act and their flamboyance and love of attention make them naturals at fame.

The astrological symbol of Cancer is the Crab; for Leo, it's the Lion. Cancer/Leos go through life with a strong shell around them that is not easily broken. However, Cancer/Leos are the first to express emotion in any given situation -- the first to laugh and the first to tears. In this way, the Cancerian influence exemplifies the cardinal quality assigned to it. They also have a strong ability to see their projects through to the end. In this way, Leo exemplifies the fixed quality assigned to it. Cancer/Leos are good organizers and tend to be popular, even inspiring.

Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and Leo is ruled by the Sun. In ancient times, the Moon, which represents fertility and instinct, was perceived as the Great Mother, responsible for nurturing all life. The Moon controls the tides and all water on Earth, and it has a strong effect on human emotions. Cancer and Cancer/Leos tend to be more sensitive to the movement of the Moon through the zodiac than are other signs, their moods changing with the Moon's passage. In ancient times, the Sun was believed to be the center of the Universe, the core of existence, the Father. The Sun generates warmth and keeps life on Earth moving. Leos and Cancer/Leos sometimes feel they are the center of the universe, and sometimes they are! They are gregarious and social, fun-loving and live life with enthusiasm. Generally domestic and peaceful, they have strong emotional drives and won't sit still when loved ones are threatened. The Sun and Moon, mother and father, day and night; Cancer/Leos are all of these things, and finding a way to express the entire continuum is both a challenge and a much-needed emotional release.

The element associated with Cancer is Water. Water Signs are emotional: they tend to respond to the world through emotion. The element associated with Leo is Fire. Fire Signs are physical and tend to respond to the world through action. Cancer/Leos are very intuitive and jump headfirst into life, without worrying whether their latest goal is realistic or practical. For them, everything about life is Big with a capital B, and if drama and courage is required to meet their goals, they have both in abundance. Their warm and caring nature is very sensitive to other people's harshness. Cancer/Leos are cheerful and self-assured, sometimes to the point of living in a fantasy world. They are always happy as long as someone is paying attention to them!

Cancer/Leos have a strong association with food. They are very imaginative and sensitive, making them excellent amateur chefs. Some go on to make a career out of cooking. Pleasure is important to those born on the Cancer/Leo cusp, and they like to spend money to feel good. Cancer/Leos tend to enjoy physical exercise, finding that sweat helps them counter the stress inherent in their emotional nature. They prefer to play in groups, rather than solo. They are too sociable to enjoy solitary running or weight lifting, and they much prefer team sports or group exercise.

In love relationships, Cancer/Leos top the charts in almost every area, from devotion to romance. The great strength of the Cancer/Leo is in their creativity and generosity with others. Sometimes these qualities combine, resulting in thoughtful gifts or unique solutions to problems. Cancer/Leos emotional orientation to life help them understand the difficulties their loved ones must work through.::
