HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

i don't usually do this, but here's to all the lovers out there who will be celebrating v day.

good luck to all the folks chasing the object of their dreams/desires/whatever. hope you succeed!

and to all the sad lonely hearts, cheer up! it's not too bad being single you know!

and to all the happy singles, ROCK ON!

stop that right now

this is in no way targeted to anyone.

things i love to hear not. things i love to hear pause not. things i love to hear, pause, pause, NOT!

ok the real title:

things people say that completely turn me off and make me cringe

1. telling me how rich your friends are

2. telling me how cool you think you are

3. telling me how much you care for me, or how much i'm your brother, or how good friends we are, when you behave the other way

4. telling me you know me so well you know what's best for me (even i don't know myself)

5. telling me how cool your new friends think you are (whether that's really the case or not)

6. telling me how cool your new friends are

7. telling me how good you are or think you are when we both know that isn't the case

8. telling me that we'll go out next time when you don't mean it at all

you know what? i don't really care. i care about more important things. like ideas, and funny things. not things you think pads up my impression of you. if im sitting at a coffee/dinner table with you chances are nothing of the above will make me think better of you because i already know you well and such superficial things are of no relevance to our friendship. so if you want to continue talking about all these, well, just GET OUT!

to feed an addict's addiction

let's say there's this loved one, could be a brother, or a really close friend or relative. you grew up with him, wanted the best for him, and really love him and don't want to see him sad or down. so he's on drugs. could be any addiction but we'll just use drugs. been on drugs for a while. he says its under control, and that he know's what he's doing. he tells you not to worry, trust him.

one day his mother calls you, tells you she suspects something and asks if you could kindly go over to her house. when you're there she tells you her jewellery has been stolen, and she can't contact her son. he wasn't home all week, and the night he comes home there's this theft. what in the world should you do? you feel pissed off, that this guy is fucking up his whole life, letting everybody down. you know where he is. would you take her to him? find him yourself? or let everything go?

presume you go find him, just to make sure nothing's wrong. he's in this really nasty part of town, with all these fellow substance abusers. you find him where he told you'll he'll be, and he's in a heap. alcohol everywhere, more cigarette butts can be seen than empty floor space. you shake him, and get him conscious. you ask him, what the fuck are you doing?

he asks you to help him, and you tell him you'll help him out of all this, this mess he created. then his real request surfaces, he wants another hit. you tell him to relax and get out of here and everything will be ok. but he says he really wants another hit. another hit and he'll quit. if not he'll die. it's obvious he won't die, but psychologically and physiologically his body needs another hit.

what the fuck should you do?

came back from sydney a week back. just went there to chill and relax. spent so much money on eating. but the food at the fish market was no let down. the sashimi was so good we went back for seconds. the lobster mornay was delicious. and i really love the sydney rock oysters.

had dinner at bondi. it was quite beautiful, watching a 2 hour sunset, eating ribs and wings. we had 4 jugs of beer and they only charged for 2, making it 5 bucks a jug. i drank quite a bit as weian was out of action with heat rash!

earlier in the week had the $10 steak and beer, its super worth it man. wonder why they don't have that here.

jasmine brought me for some damn good jap dinner as well, 3 of us couldn't finish 2 set meals. really big servings! and hot chocolate at balmoral beach, dunno where that is but its damn nice too, the resturant was super posh and cool. went to look around sydney uni as well.

had lunch on the last day at this german beer/sausage place, good food and beer but a bit pricey.

jasmine cooked chicken rice and then sent us to the airport.

i have lost contact with too many friends.
