30 Jun, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
It seems like this post gonna be skewed towards the dark side from the title's equation. It's like having two bad news and one good news. So which one would you prefer me to reveal first? Almost everyone will opt for the bad news first coz they wanna be left with an optimistic feeling, or at least a little positive after all news were revealed. However, sometimes this is not the case.
So what's good? Getting to know my buddy who found himself a new girl, is a good news. Knowing a significant change in my reservist schedule, is a good news. Being recognized as an elite by the Brigade General, is a good news.
What's the bad and ugly now? Dealing with people who forgot what they said and claimed to something they did not, is bad news. Realized you're treated like a second class 'citizen', is both bad and ugly news. Being taken for granted of, is really shitty news.
Ya, it's true. This is part and parcel of life. I mean, I should be already aware of. Maybe I've put down my armor some time ago, and I guess I got to pick that up again.
Then again, I reminded myself.
"Why bother when you can live without it!"

26 Jun, Don't try!
You're making me sick with all your pathetic and unconvincing act after I've unearthed certain things about you. It can be from someone else, or it can be me witnessing with my very eyes.
Don't try to be friendly to me. Don't try to be so concern about me. Don't try, please... coz' your mask ain't working this time, or next time.
Neither I'm begging you nor challenging you. I just couldn't stand your feign smile that hides numerous booby traps, and the act of kindness that is in fact worthless in any sense.
If I pose a threat to you in any sense, I'm sorry that I didn't meant to. Else, just be yourself in front of me. I already have some fakies around and I don't want to do another addition.

23 Jun, Dual affairs @ Sand Bar
The thunder had postponed my long-waited match till next week. I tucked into my quilt and continued my dream. It wasn't a good one, as usual, but it had woke me up just in time for Charlotte's full month celebration.
Headed to attend the post party celebration at Sand Bar and it was a great team-bonding session as well. Great music (as usual), cool drinks (as per norm), and fantastic people (as always) were the main essence of the party.
Mr. Sam asked for a copy of the visuals and I thought," Hmm... it was kinda encouraging for me."
More drinks came along with those games and cheers, and I could sense that dizzy spells coming up. Went back home and watched a boring 0-0 match between Spain and Italy. The World Champ was dumped out of the Euro'08 competition after the spot-kick shootout.
*Yawns* Another mundane Monday~

20 Jun, Criticism Management Theory
Alright, a few of you might have asked or wondering what this theory is all about. Well, it ain't came from any great philosophist, nor from any theorist. It just from me. Maybe there's someone out there who had did this before, but I think it's me for now.
So what is this theory all about? You might be feeling paranoid when you saw the 'theory' word appearing. Well, even so, I hope you can read on, and maybe it will start your brain pondering over it.
"Do you think you're able to cope with criticism?", Crystal asked me. I suppose she was referring to bad critics. It took me a short while to come out with my answer. Now, ask yourself this question. Are you capable of handling bad critics? How well will you take it? It's rather simple to me. A bad critic serves either purpose. One, to stir a person rational state of mind and convert it into emotional response. Two, to assist in helping a person to achieve something better than what he/she is getting. In short, if you react negatively, you will feel discomfort and maybe react emotionally. If you think rationally, I think you will gain a valuable lesson which may help you to achieve to the next level in your career/relationship/etc, or you will be able to learn from your mistake and avoid them in the future.
I do know some people are just out there to criticise another just to make them feel discourage, or wanted to prove their dominance. Think about it dude. (ok, gal as well. Don't wana be labelled as a sexist.) Is the critic worth thinking about? Does it help you in any way? If not, just ignore it without any hard feelings. Don't take it too personal. If you reacted emotionally, you've just fall into the trap. Don't respond till it has processed thru' your head. On the other hand, if that critic serves you well, but it was delivered in a rather harsh way, keep your cool dude and gal, take the gist of the critic and proceed on.
I really hope you understand my simple theory, coz' it's ain't that difficult to read isn't it? Alrighty then, JimBeam Competition gonna start.
Bloody hell~ I didn't win anything on the PC show lucky draw! Tough Luck!
Peace out~

16 Jun, The PC Show 2008
The usual - PACKED! I was seeking for another portable external hard disk, and Buffalo is still the preferred choice coz of its rough and tough armor. It was selling 299SGD for 1TB, but it ain't the portable type, it was the tera-station instead. On the other hand, Seagate and Maxtor selling their non-portable 1TB at 299SGD and 279SGD respectively. I thought sooner I would be forking out my $$$ for that tera-cow. However, the thought was short-lived in my top purchase list after I came across the ViewSonic 22" LCD display. Asus offered almost the same package but it was the idea of their marketing differentiated them.
Apart from getting my stuffs, I guessed I got to realise how crucial it is for a company to market its products in order to standout among their competitors.
It's Monday again, and one of my friend is getting married.
"On Monday?!?" You might asked... Ya, it is... a wedding dinner on a Monday night.

5 Jun, Tthhh thruthh inth everythh wordthh
Wondering if there's a typo for the title huh~ If you can pronounce that, you have just experienced speaking with an ulcer tongue. So I did one thing that speed up the recovery. Ya, SALT ON THE WOUND! EWWww!! Painful of coursethh! It surely worthh the try since I realized the wound was in a better state this morning. Alternatively, get 'someone' to bite for you if you prefer to taste the sweetness in agony. I've never try thatthh yetthh, and I don't think I will.
*goose-bumps*

2 Jun, Observer or being observed?
Ever put someone into observation during a conversation? Well, I'm referring to the scrutinizing of words they used, the content they've brought up, and their body language too. Somehow, I like to observe people when they starts to talk. It does reveal the level of confidence they have and, how much they want themselves to be heard. However, being the 'loudest' doesn't mean you will be heard. Sometimes, some people just wanted to differentiate themselves from the rest. They just wanted to be the one that shines the brightest among the rest. I mean most of us, maybe all, would want to excel our own capabilities and stands out. If it's to the expense of our close ones, I guess it's better to dim down a little and be a part of the league. I'm not suggesting you have to turn your 'volume' down, but remember, without the people around you, you are nothing. It was like King Miraz in "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian". His followers were so disappointed by their King that they decided to exterminate him. So what if you're a king who couldn't care about your people, and so what if you have a loudspeaker with no audience?
By knowing where you'll be and who you'll be with, you may be able to observe the one who wanna outcast themselves, instead of being observed.
