Let's face it Americans...only pussies call their game Football when they play it with their hands...real football begins in Leeds, England
With Leeds United AFC still buzzin with the appointment of ex-Chelsea chairman Ken Bates...i came across an open letter to all Leeds United fans worldwide...written by Steve Ahern...a Chelsea fan...im feel so much enlightened and refreshed after readin it...the rejuvenation of Leeds is near...
"Dear Fellow Football Fans
Having just watched a certain Mr Ken Bates "introduce" himself as the new Leeds Chairman to the media this afternoon on Sky Sports, I felt I had to write with what Ken calls "some constructive criticism".
That was it - that was as critical as I could honestly be about your new Chairman.
I am a lifelong Chelsea Fan - born and raised just a short walk over the river from my beloved Stamford Bridge. Ken arrived at a sad, decaying Stamford Bridge in the early eighties and inherited an equally sad and decaying team - and a financial situation that the words sad and decay would not do justice to!
Ken bought Chelsea for £1, went to work on the infrastructure, the team, the ground, the debt (boy was there some debt) - and took on (and beat) anybody who dared to stand in his way. The result, and the legacy that Ken has left - is a football team ten points clear in the premiership, a team in one cup final this year already - and in contention for another two, the finest (though not the biggest) stadium in Britain if not the World - and an air of grandeur that has engulfed the entire Club, from the current Chairman down to the youngest or most occasional Supporter.
You'll probably remark that our "newfound success" is a result of the arrival of a certain Mr Abramovich - and I would agree that, from a financial viewpoint, he has made a sigificant difference to our fortunes of late (excuse the pun). But, ask yourself this - would Mr Abramovich have been interested in purchasing Leeds in their (your) current predicament? NO!
Would he have looked at Chelsea in their "pre Bates" era? NO! Mr Abramovich wanted to buy a Club with a solid infrastructure - and Chelsea fitted the bill because of what it had become under the guidance of this Bates fellow.
When I was a kid, Stamford Bridge was a p*** hole. Views in certain areas of the ground were restricted, parts of the ground were derelict and fenced off, the away fans got rained on if the weather was bad (aw bless) and the food was atrocious!
Now, every seat in the ground offers 100% field of view, the whole place looks five minutes old, the away boys enjoy the same facilities as us, and the food is superb!
Years ago, a pint or a pee before the game had to be endured in the street (yeah both) - nowadays both are available in one of London's finest hotels - a hotel that is an integral part of our ground - a ground that Ken built.
So, Leeds United as is, fasten your seat belts as you are about to undertake the ride of your life. Things will have started to happen already, of that I have no doubt, soon, you will notice this stuff happening and will rue the day any of you scoffed at having a "Chelsea Boy" as your Chairman.
I have no doubt whatsoever that Leeds will be back in the Premiership very soon under Ken's guidance, and I will be happy to welcome you back because of who will have led you there. Don't get me wrong, I will still want my Blue-Boys to smash you all over the pitch when we meet - but those games aside, you got a bit of a new fan in me.
Good luck

I Wana Turn Gay
Many times in a man's life...the bevy of beautiful women that appear on TV and clubs constantly remind him of his purpose in life...and that is to plug all the women's hole ala plumber style...
There are...however...times when the appearance of male models who're so fuckin beautiful will simply send even the cockiest man scutterin for cover...and ive been guilty of that...coz i admit...im a fan of the new reality TV show...Manhunt: The Search for America's Most Gorgeous Male Model.
Touted as the show that will break fashion industry stereotypes...a group of young newcomers compete for the ultimate prize: a one-year contract with top international modeling agency IMG...
As a reviewer for the series puts it: "It almost feels like we missed the real premiere episode as Bravo (the TV network) brings us quickly up to speed. “It all begins with the search for hot guys,” the voice over man tells us, and we see blurry figures darting around parks, streets and car lots snagging muscle-bound men. Here’s something new I learned: If you want a cute guy to take his shirt off, the magic words are, “I’m a casting director.” We see the guys lined up for casting calls, and a few audition videos filmed in the shower."
Ive caught the premier and 2nd episodes so far...and you know what? It's been several days now...but THAT scene where all 16 male hunks jump out of the plane for a sky-divin session in nothin but sunglasses...Calvin Klein white boxer briefs and combat boots will linger in my mind for quite awhile...
Quite simply...just lookin at these men make me wana turn gay...or be a woman...i now understand why both species alike pander and lust for hunky men...

A Post In 10 Minutes
Ive aged 2 years in the last 2 months...
One cannot possibly fathom the stress when one packs...to pack for a short holiday is time-consumin enough...but when one has to pack...uproot and re-establish one's base to another country for 3 years...the logistics and preparation goes WAY beyond just a simple schedule...everythin just goes out of the window...
It's like an insurmountable task has been handed to you on a golden platter...you know everythin's gona be a wonderful stroll in the park when you arrive to find everythin's in order...but to get there...holy crap...
Wana know what's the bitchiest thing to do? Be at the mercy of a lunchtime crowd in a bank clutchin thousands of dollars...
Most annoyin? Sortin out the mountain of clothings that you have and packin em all in...bearin in mind that a 35kg weight limit beckons with every Joe Boxers i roll up...
Most time-consumin? Catchin up with friends that number in the tens who conveniently decide to choose your LAST week to meet up with you...hello!?!?!?!? Im fuckin neck deep with B-U-Z-Y...
Most worrisome? It used to be the visa...but now that it's been approved...it's gotta be the shippin of stuff that's not flyin with me...what if...just what if...they dont arrive in my apartment? Or if they do...arrive in bits and pieces? IM SO FUCKED...
Ok...back to packin...

Bah!
So you see...
Im in a quandry again...
Ive yet to purchase a computer system for my studyin needs...and i cant seem to decide if i should get a lappy or a desktop...
micheLe has an old lappy...a Dell Inspiron 2650...but since buyin it 2 years back...she's only touched it for bout 50 times...i guess once you're a nurse you're omniscient...there's no need for internet access...
It's still 'brand new'...and the specs are pretty awesome...512MB RAM...DVD/CD dual drive with burner...you know...standard specs for PC users these days...as the apartment in Melbourne is completely wireless-ready...all i need is to upgrade it to Wi-Fi compatibility...and im ready to go...
But im thinkin...with my online habits...i reckon a desktop would serve my needs a lot better than a lappy...i spend a great amount of time facin the monitor...on days when im really free...10 hours wouldnt be an exaggeration...and last i checked...no lappy could be left alone for 10 hours without a recharge...and the heat! Gosh...i dont want no hot lappy burnin my hands while im busy punchin away at the keyboard...
So what's the beef? Anyone has any suggestions?

Leeds United AFC have been saved from the clutches of administration...from ex-Chelsea's chairman Ken Bates...of all people...Leeds and Chelsea do not have the best history...i sincerely hope Bates does his utmost best to appease the sufferin fans...he must realise that Leeds has a proud history and has fans all over the world...and that the ONLY United is Leeds...not fuckin Scumchester United (lick my fuckin hairy crack while ya at it Fergie)...
Let this be the start of Leeds' revival and restoration of a once feared European powerhouse...not a fuckin laughin stock in the League Championship...enough tears have been shed over the course of the last 2 years...

A Jewish Blog
I thought this was rather interestin...
Taken off Wyatt's Torch...the writer seems to be a rather angry Jewish...it's a brand new blog...but a pretty quirky one nonetheless...
Reasons People Hate Jews:
(1) Don’t recognize pagan gods
(2) Won’t worship leader as god
(3) Don’t Recognize the one true God and his Prophet
(4) Killed God
(5) Are all Atheists
(6) Are all Communists
(7) Are not Communists
(8) Are all Democrats
(9) Too wealthy; control the world’s money supply
(10) Invented a “slave morality” where the weak are the most virtuous
(11) Invented Objectivism, which denounces altruism and glorifies materialism
(12) Oppress a minority population trying to claim a right to their homeland
(13) Are overly pious
(14) Are purveyors of amorality
(15) Oppress African-Americans
(16) Are supporters and enablers of blacks
(17) Are all do-nothing neurotic worrywarts
(18) Are all successful lawyers, doctors, businessmen who have too much control over society
(19) Are all Neo-Conservative Imperialist hawks pursuing a destructive American Imperialism
(20) Have questionable loyalty to the regime in power
(21) Are an intenerate, rootless people eternally siphoning off of other countries
(22) Are a ultra-nationalist aggressor state endangering world security for territorial gain
(23) Are too ugly
(24) Run the entertainment industry
Now...perhaps i could write a post on why people hate Singaporeans...that would be the mother of all posts wouldnt it...

Club and Kiss for a Cause
Ive been spendin a rather copious amount of time on the RMIT website...browsin through the activities and clubs available for students...it does feel rather strange to be a student again...
As it is im in a beautiful dilemma...do you remember back in the days when you're faced with a plethora of clubs that has specific interests that ring a tune in ya head? Im facin that right now...it's still early days...but right now it's a toss up between:
1) Alpine Club
Skiin and immersin myself with something that's alien to the tropical climate in Singapore - snow
2) Soccer Club
I grew up lovin and playin the game...it's funny how the Aussies...with Union Jack affiliations...are usin the word 'soccer'...shouldnt it be football?
3) The RMIT newspaper
With a rather extensive writin background and portfolio in Singapore...i would really love to contribute to the paper...afterall writing is a hobby i thoroughly enjoy
4) The Swim, Bike, Run Club
As a qualified Junior Life Guard...a serious competitor of mountain bikin and dozens of athletics medals garnered in my High School days...this is a Club that combines 3 of my favorite sports...quite excitin indeed
5) 90.7 Syn FM Melbourne
Ive often been told that ive a very radio friendly voice...i would like to put that to the test and have a demo tape submitted...who knows you could hear my voice across the internet
I then stumbled across this interestin article...Melbourne is biddin to set a world record for "Most couples kissing simultaneously"...as the event would be held on the Sunday before Valentine's Day...i'll be makin my way to St. Kilda's beach with micheLe to break the world record...
Watch this space in 3 weeks for updates on the world record attempt...

Eastern sign: Sheep
Wastern sign: Aquarius
Zany and unconventional, you are full of surprises. As far as you're concerned, it's better to be shocking than boring. You're willing to do anything to get a rise out of people, whether it's poking fun at a sacred institution or standing on your head at the dinner table. Setting yourself apart from the crowd is your number one priority. You believe great beauty can come from being unique. Your greatest challenge is to develop your sensual side. Although you are most attracted to the world of ideas, it wouldn't hurt to indulge in physical pleasures from time to time. Your biggest strength is your appreciation for people's differences. You will never lack for varied, interesting company.
Because you are utterly determined to be independent, you need a job that allows you a great deal of freedom. Working with plants or animals may prove rewarding for you. You'd make an excellent botanist, veterinarian, or landscaper. A job that affords lots of travel might also suit you. Joining a music group, theater troupe, or dance company could ward off boredom. Alternately, you could learn a skill that would allow you to pick up and move whenever you crave a change of scenery. If you want to see the world, you could learn how to program computers.
You're a little reserved in your affections, and may wait until you're older to form an intimate partnership. Folks who love a challenge are attracted by your cool. There's something so elusive and mysterious about the way you conduct your personal life; many people assume you have a tragic romance in your past. The truth is you're just reluctant to open up to friends until you know them extremely well.
Offbeat, adventurous people make the best friends for you. No wonder so many Ariens, Geminis, Leos, and Sagittarians make up your social circle! Romantically, you need a warm, effusive partner who can bring out your sensual side. Given enough encouragement, you will be as affectionate as a playful puppy.

Bumped
Over the weekend i bumped into an ex-...eh...girlfriend of mine (yes we used to date)....somehow...with the assistance of a higher power she happened to chance upon my blog....suffice to say our conversation wasnt sleep inducin!!
We walked over to a little coffee joint just off the city area...and she got comfortable:
"John...i know you arent...but your blog makes you look like a big male-whore...you have pictures of yourself plastered all over ya blog...in several countries...and Christ there are shots of you posin with women of different races...no wonder you've never ever had a serious relationship! No woman will ever take you seriously...if you ever want to date someone..you will have to take a reality check and realise women dont like to be seen with a big attention male-whore of a boyfriend..."
I realised at this point that she obviously hasnt been readin my posts...coz ive been writin bout my beautiful micheLe...enough to warrant a casual reader's attention...so i quipped:
"Hey...i am seein someone at the moment..."
My ex-girlfriend proceeded to cut me off and went on merrily bout how...with my personality...i would sweep most women off their feet...but bring them crashin down to earth within 3 months...often with several broken limbs...
"Dont you understand that women need security and a certain level of maturity to feel that they actually belong? Ive seen you with your women...most times they like the way you bring them out for a good time..."
At this point i got annoyed...lit my cigarette and pretended to look interested...
She failed to take the hint...oh stop she did not!...she said that i'll incur the wrath of many local Asian men because I seem too confident and cocky...and since they are too meek to make a smart retort to my wiley ways...they are left high and dry when i leave the club with their women...
"For once," i thought...she makes a valid point...ive charmed women to bed before...even though they were in a relationship...mmm...
So...until i finally learn how to treat a woman with the respect and love she's due..she says...the vicious cycle will not stop..."You'll get into trouble one day"...she added...
Im gona have to leave out the rest of the conversation...but believe me when i say the look on her face is picture-worthy after tellin her of my relationship with micheLe...
Yep...ive changed...
micheLe...i love you...

Joe's Apartment (no not the movie!)
This is Joe Gordon of The Woolamaloo Gazette...a fellow blogger who resides in the dreary land (no thanks to the weather there) of the Scots...a spat over the beautiful Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi 6 months back made us friends...and since then we've been tradin satirical views and throwin brusque barbs on worldly issues and events that represent an interest to us...as a result...we're firm allies in the war against freedom of speech (as readers of my blog would already know)...Joe has a story to tell...and a damn good story it is...
Now this story could start from many angles...dependin on how you look at it...it could start from 11 years ago...when our young protagonist Joe (now 37) applied for...and got...a job with a leading chain of bookshops called Waterstone's in Edinburgh, Scotland...im not familiar with Waterstone's...as i live in Asia...but from what ive read and gathered...Waterstone's is somewhat similar to what Singapore (and most parts of the developed world) have in the ubiquitous Borders Bookshop...
Or the story could start from just several weeks back...where Joe chanced upon my post on Germaine's police threat as a result of my very rude verbal backlash on her...Joe gave a hint of his problems back home (read the comments of that post) which piqued my interest greatly...
Reason for writin all this? On January 5th this year Joe was charged and sacked for alleged gross misconduct and bringin Waterstone's into disrepute...my friend's offense? His blog...which has been maintained in his own time and at his own expense from home...
Most of Joe's posts involve his thoughts on publications (books and the likes) he has read...literary events that go in and around Waterstone's or just silly observations on life looked upon from afar...Joe does however...on the rare occassion mention his time at Waterstone's...as he puts it..in his usual self-deprecating humor: " Like many folk I am not always happy at work"...coinin terms such as "Bastardstone's" and have a character called 'Evil Boss' (" my equivalent to Dilbert's Pointy Haired Boss - in fact I compared head office directives to being in a Dilbert cartoon ")...
Sometimes i find it hard to believe that people graduatin from the School of Stupidity still exist and are allowed to traverse the dark depths of the Internet...i mean...is that a brain in their head or is it just gray matter? Dont these people read?
Right off the bat...in a fashion that's almost too similar to mine...Joe's blog starts off with this disclaimer:" The Woolamaloo Gazette is a satirical newspaper I first started on email way back in 1992. It allows me to vent steam on stories which are bugging me or amusing me and hopefully make people think at the same time. Satire is the best defence in any democracy. Items in the old Woolamaloo Gazette style newpaper articles will be obvious from the bold-face banner headline. Anything else is just my ramblings, mumblings or rants."
It's a wonder how Joe has been maintainin his site over these years...and seem to have safely gotten away...not knowin he's been threadin on thin ice...playin with the cacklin fire...i wonder how long the management at Waterstone's has been monitorin his site...
Perhaps the Waterstone's Head Honcho...sittin comfortably in his reclinin armchair...doin nothin but signin unneccesary papers while rakin in the thousands of dollars daily...has finally found somethin meaningful to do in his office as he heads out to work in the mornin...Head Honcho has been takin down notes in his trusty PDA...allocatin points to Joe's posts that's determined by the severity of his 'crimes'...
Head Honcho *reads out aloud while scannin through The Woolamaloo Gazette*: "...workin at Bastardstone's..."
Head Honcho *thinks out aloud*: "God damnit...that Southern Fairy has tarnished the Waterstone's name far too many times...that's a 10 points penalty..."
Head Honcho *continues scannin*: "...my Evil Boss..."
Head Honcho *leans back against chair...nostrils flarin and clenches his fists*: "This fuckin twat has gone too far...that's a 15 points penalty...and it's 5 points to much...im gona have to fire him..."
Ok i kid...but who knows what racy thoughts the Head Honcho has in his head?
So what exactly is wrong with use of an Internet medium to vent one's steam bout the daily trappings of his life? One only has to scratch the surface of Joe's past posts to find an extremely intelligent young man who has an infectious and impressive grasp of the science fiction genre...many of his posts involve excellent buyin recommendations...author readings and signings in and outside of Waterstone's...over the years Joe has built up a creditable reputation as one of THE guys to turn to if you wanted an opinion that's both trusted and valued...Joe not only unwittingly built up Waterstone's reputation but...as The Guardian puts it..."Joe was disproportionately influential."
Im guessin Waterstone's...no wait...at this point i find it strangely appropriate to refer to them as Bastardstone's too...
It's a strange world out there...the modern society frowns upon acts of euthanasia...terrorism and Communism...proclaimin proudly the ills of intentional deaths and an oppressive government...they champion Free Speech and Movement...and denounce barbaric acts that make headlines and run rife in the daily newspapers...yet...when a lovin husband severely wounds his wife's rapist in blindin rage or an innocent black man is incarcerated for decades for a crime he did not commit...the world turns a blind eye and the punishment is dealt out according to Victorian-age doctrines...the husband goes to jail and the white men gets away scot-free...

Likewise...Joe's humorous outlook in life...when presented in an innocuous and easy-to-read format that is his blog...is the subject of scrutiny from top management...when news of Joe's dismissal exploded across the media...his daily routine is not only severely disrupted from the myopic view and thinkin of the top dogs...but is also dissected and discussed in forums and media worldwide...
Where is the fairness in this? Joe...a hardworkin...honest and likeable lad who has...over the years proved that he has been an asset and indeed...brought out the best of what Bastardstone's had to offer...what the bookstore couldnt provide...Joe gave...it's rare to chance upon a person who would contribute willingly ...but it's another to have him in your employ...what Bastardstone's did was...for me...akin to ethnic cleansin...wipin off someone off ya slate over somethin you never truely understood...
Bastardstone's was wrong to fire Joe...yes...callin him into the office for a private behind-the-doors chat was sensible...but to stir the brew while the coffee's still cold is simply reprehensible...unethical and downright rude...has Bastardstone's considered the thousands of hours Joe has faithfully put in? How bout the emotional duress Joe was subjected to? How would the Head Honcho like being subjected to the glarin eye of the monster that is the media? And..is there a law statin Bloggers are violatin company policies if and when they write ills bout their office place? Last i checked i didnt think so...
To a certain extent...i sympathise with Joe...as a fellow Blogger who finds solace in writin...it is in our best interest to write with earnest and feelings...our Blog is an extension of our personalities...writin untruthfully is one thing...but when you write with a song in your heart and a whistle to every word that you magically conjur...only to be hauled up to the courts for transgressions that you knew nothin of...you simply have to ask yaself...where is the justice in this?
Is it safe to walk the streets anymore? Someone could be watchin you from afar...
Could i make the trunk call to my loved ones halfway around the world? Someone could be tappin my phone call...
Can i even blog about the yellow starship that parked in my garden yesterday evenin? The National Security Agency (NSA) could be keepin close tabs on my apartment now...what am i to make of it? Im not an alien!
OR...
Could i still even mention Germaine's name now? If Joe was sacked for being an exemplary employee...what of me then?
Is there hope in the world at all?
Saturday, January 15
Now what can possibly beat this on a Saturday mornin?
Reportin to military camp for one's IPPT...
Try as one might...
Fail the test...
Citin years of physical inactivity...
And the paunch in ya body that gets bigger by the day...
Middle age creepin up...
Returnin home all sore and stiff...
Yup...one's Saturday cant possibly be any better...

Grumble
It's my last full week of work in my agency...
Next week...i shall be officially an Office Redundancy Boy...millin around in parts of office i really have no reason to be in for several days before i bid farewell to a company that hasnt paid me my due worth *chuckles* (Guess we know the reason why im leavin :O )
As the new bloke has already deftly displayed...he's more than capable of takin over my duties...the last 4 days of adrock2xander's able tutor and mentor-ship has been a roarin round of success...next week i'll just be in the office for formalities sakes...showin my ugly face...in the event that my colleagues decide to take pity on me and offer me a dollar in exchange for my hasty exit...haha...
My days in Singapore are numbered...and as my new lease of life in Australia looms (larger than life it seems)...ive been wittlin down my 'Must Do' list...as it stands...it seems like an awful lot to do...
The untimely misplacement of my wallet has handicapped me somewhat...with a lack of credit/ATM card i find myself resortin to some unneccesary borrowin of hard cash to get by these days...it's a good thing these cards can be replaced without an additional fee...but cards take awhile to arrive...so hey...im livin off my parents' money for the next few days! How cool is that...Muahahahaa....
Dinner with Gavin yesterday brought up another important issue that i simply have to get over with...as an active National Serviceman...we're obligated to serve our despot-ruled country till the ripe old age of 40...and as a combat-fit serviceman it's my responsibility (against my own will that is) to pass the annual Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) or face Remedial Trainin...failure to attend one's IPPT before his next birthday is considered a military offence and a warrant of arrest will be issued...now the last thing i want is a brush with the law (Germaine's conspiracy with her Blogmates not-withstandin...)
This is not a post on how much i abhor Singapore's ways of governin and forced conscription...that's a story for another day...but i digress...
With the deadline for my IPPT approachin fast...i had a reality check...ok face it John...over the years you've piled on the pounds...increased ya girth in unsightly areas and wouldnt be able to outrun a turtle...so there's no way in hell i could possibly pass the IPPT...
But hey! Singapore's anachronistic law hasnt stated anythin bout NOT passin...and besides...by the time they rope me in for Remedial Trainin i'd be in Down Under no less...hell yeah! That's right...fuck y'all...im just gona go for the test...fail it...satisfy Singapore...and owe them nothin more...
And there's the unenviable task of packin one's life in several suitcases and boxes...i gota give it to people who succesfully manage that...how da fuck do you do it...
Over the weeks ive been takin stock of what ive to bring...and gee wheez...it's a mountain alright...and with the 30kilograms weight limit at the airport...i have to resort to overseas shippin...and that means money...
Gah...money...that means cards...bah im cardless...i blame the dishonest cab driver/passenger...a result of Singapore's way of life...gah Singapore's government...@#$#$%#$%!@#%#$%in unneccesary piece of ##$%#$^%&^$%&%^....

Lost in Walletland
I lost my wallet on Monday mornin...
Unlike the last time...where the wallet was returned to me...this time i'll be lucky to even get a dime back...
Contents of the wallet not-withstandin...it's the emotional bond of losin somethin so special that's heart-renderin...
You see...micheLe gave me the wallet as a prezzie the mornin we flew to Bangkok a month ago...
But back to the contents...
In the wallet were:
1) $300 in cash meant for the application of my visa to Australia...
2) Credit card (had the card blocked almost immediately...dont want the dishonest bloke swipin my card on purchases)
3) ATM card (had the card blocked too...coz my 6-digit PIN number's really easy to decipher if you've half a brain)
4) Identity card (reported the loss to the police...and had to fork out $100 for a replacement...wtf?)
5) 2 completed Subway cards that i could exchange for a foot-long Subway sandwich (YOU FUCKIN TWIT...now you not only have $300 spendin money...you wont go hungry!)
6) Almost completed HMV card that i could exchange for a free CD/DVD (YOU FUCKTARD...now you not only fed ya belly...you walk away with a free disc!!!)
7) My Zouk membership (That's right...free entry to Zouk...good on yer mate)
8) Other cards that are deemed too trivial to bring up...
Oh my heart aches...

adrock2xander's Top 10 Most Beautiful Women - Part 9
Hi there everyone! It's been over 5 weeks! How goes the sleaze over the New Year? I sincerely hope all my readers got some hot bedroom action...i know i did :O
But there's only so much i can write bout the illicit things im capable of performin on the women...so for my last 2 women...i'll cut out the raunch...for those who missed my last 8 women...here they are:
1) Amber Brkich
2) Katie Holmes
3) Kate Beckinsale
4) Megan McCormick
5) Eliza Dushku
6) Natalie Portman
7) Ashley Judd
8) Winona Ryder
Ive come to realise that ive a serious penchant for brunettes and dark-blondes...writin bout them is one thing...but unconsciously waxin lyrical bout 8 women...non of whom have blonde hair...is another...perhaps my next woman shall be a blonde...we shall see...
Speakin of brunettes...none of them get any better than
9) Marisa Tomei
Famous for: A thoroughly deserved Oscar win in 1992 for My Cousin Vinny...a thoroughly underserved non-win in 2001 for In The Bedroom...appearin in movies that bombed in the 10 years between...flashin her boobs in Slums of Berverly Hill...
Face: 8.5
Body: 8.0
Fame: 8.0
Ok ive somethin to admit...im a little biased...Marisa's only here becoz she's an exact carbon copy of my ex-gf 4 years ago...minus the wrinkles of coz :O
The slim Italian brunette is simply ravishin...bambi-like features with porcelain skin...now throw in a cute petite nose that's turned up at the end and you have a face that's good enough to eat...mind you ive not even gotten to her body yet...
But this is a new adrock2xander...away with the sleaze i say!
Oh...did i mention she's seriously right up my league coz cute and spunky is a fail-proof way to get me lookin?
That's right ladies...you know wata do!

Achilles...eh i mean Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston have separated after 4.5 years of marriage...oooh...juicy news...
They were quoted...
"We would like to announce that after seven years together we have decided to formally separate"
"For those who follow these sorts of things, we would like to explain that our separation is not the result of any of the speculation reported by the tabloid media. This decision is a result of much thoughtful consideration. We happily remain committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another. We ask in advance for your kindness and sensitivity in the coming months."
Now...explain to me how 1 Greek in reel life and 1 Greek in real life could not possibly get along when one's impossibly good lookin in the buff...and the other...eh...has hair that all women want?
Nope...i still dont get it...
Only thing i know...is that Brad's now in the market again...
And that means...ive a shot at him this time...
*stiffens collar and splashes cologne*

My body took notice of micheLe's absence...
And fell violently ill...
Im writin this in the office...
With a 38 Celsius temperature...
Why am i puttin myself through this...
Perhaps my days in Singapore are numbered?
Oh wait...
They are...
:-O

Sex
Decidin to have sex is a big decision...
There is the possibility of pregnancy...
AIDS...
Or your parents walkin in on you...
That's why ive decided to wait...
micheLe's never been more receptive...
Until im ready...im choosin cyber and phone sex...
Cyber and phone sex is a safe alternative to sexual intercourse...
No STDs...
No babies...
No pressure...
Just a 70 year old octenagarian in her widower's basement who likes to tell me im fuckin hot...
Or talkin dirty to ya girlfriend when she's hundreds of miles away...
And the best part is...
No one ever needs to know bout it...

Mirror
The blog has decided to go mirrorin its previous look with a splash of rose-brown for background color effects...
Ok that doesnt make much sense without punctuation...
But wait! People have been lambastin me for that flaw of mine...
It's a flaw coz i champion good English...
Oh wait! Everyone knows that...
The irony of it all...
Just like how just a week ago...too much water killed hundreds of thousands of people in Asia...
A week later today...too little water is killin hundreds of thousands of people in Asia...
Funny how too much of somethin is never good...
Or too little...
Go blog go...

adrock2xander apologises
Turns out...someone has reported me to the Police for all the abusive language ive been usin on Germaine...geezzz...these people have taken it too far...as if gangin up on me to start a blog war in November wasnt enough...now this...
Here's what it says:
"Adrock2xander, we have actually lodged a police report for all the abusive and offensive message you have posted in your blog about Germaine, in case you want to know, stealing someone's picture to be posted on your blog is an offense too. If I were you, I would remove that page immediately before the police comes to you before u leave for Australia on 21st Jan. They are currently considering 2 options, 1) to refer this case to Police HQ 2) to refer this case to CID, which more serious charges will be pressed against you. If you want to continue with what you are doing now, you will have to pay for it.Yap, I am sure your Uni can wait for you.
Arguments on net are very common, but resorting to such threats and despicable comments on someone much younger than you, all I can say is you are a big bully. Go bully someone of your age, n confront someone face to face instead of doing this."
Now it's one thing to mock someone over the net...but another thing to lodge a police report...empty threat or not...im not bout to deprecate the escalatin situation...takin sense in all of it...ive sent a public apology to everyone in Germaine's blog...here's what i wrote:
"Ok i'll stop messin with the lady...
Just know that it took a genuine threat (i.e police report) to simmer me down...
10 vs 1 aint botherin me...
I apologise for the offensive remarks...picture is not comin off...coz it's my blog...
Now we shall just leave it at that..."
Hey...cant we all just get along?

Hello there 2005
So what were you doin on New Year's Eve? With the sombriety loomin in and around Asia...and blessin my lucky stars that i'd returned from Phuket just days before the tragedy...micheLe and i...together with her sister Crystal and boyfriend Gavin headed on down to China Jump at CHIJMES for some lame music New Year usherin...
Pardon me...but Top 40 hits by a live band is hardly what i call fun...or music...but oh well...in the spirit of good fun...i tried real hard to look like a terrible dancer (actually i didnt have to try too hard...who the hell dances to Top 40 hits?)...
Me goofin around...micheLe and Gavin...
I think the lame music must have been gettin to me...that's Crystal and Gavin...
Fish-face is the new black of 2005...
Scenes at CHIJMES were pretty chaotic...then again...in the wee hours of January 1st...where isnt?
Retreatin from the heat in the club...i noticed the club next door has an uncanny resemblance to the wet paper towels i use...
It must have been the long hours put in...but we were all dog tired by the end of the night...the sisters seem to second my opinion...
Have a great New Year everyone...now let's wipe off our smiles and get back to work on Monday...
*groans*

It must have been the long hours put in...but we were all dog tired by the end of the night...the sisters seem to second my opinion...
Have a great New Year everyone...now let's wipe off our smiles and get back to work on Monday...
*groans*
