This is my life, and it’s as good as it is ever going to get

Last night fell asleep when I should have been working. Julia calls at 2am and I don’t remember a thing about that conversation. When I open my eyes again, it’s 5am on a Sat morning. So I take a bath and I resume work.

Finally finish up all the tables and flowcharts and fuckwhynotthekitchensinktoo at 10am. Opened a socket to my office network and launched Lotus Notes to send my work over to the relevant parties.

You.Have.New.Mail

79 spanking new mails waiting for my attention on a beautiful Sat morning at 10am. They are usually in the following categories

1) Company notices (at least 8 a day)
2) Pls help me
3) FYI (mail cc’ed to me)
4) Fuck You Very Much (from angry and cofused ppl)
5) In response to your earlier mail…

So anyway in the process of clearing my mail, I find myself working another 3 hours to reply to those that require my attention – usually those that have docs for my review.

At about 2pm, I leave for my parent’s place. I get home at about 3pm. As usual there are plenty of condiments but no actual food in the fridge except for bread, cheese and durian. So I have a durian sandwich with cheese. Watched a re-run of ‘Little Nicky’.

Later I felt hungry again, so I drove out to get a haircut and a bite. My hairstylist is so happy that I have decided to keep short hair because now I visit him for a trim every 1.5 weeks.

After the haircut, I lose my appetite so I just buy some buttered corn from a hawker. I notice that there is a pirate selling vcd’s so I buy ‘The Chronicles of Riddick’ and ‘The Stepford Wives’.

Go home. Pop the riddick movie in. Read on for review.

‘The Chronicles of Riddick’

Riddick aka Mr Indestructible takes on an army of Necromongers who possess planet bombs but fight with swords and spears after he escapes from a max security jail.

1) The architecture is moorish
2) The necromongers are styled after the roman army, but have gothic armour.

This would have been a pretty rotten movie if it didn’t star Vin Diesel. The director and editor seem to have butchered the movie in the editing room. The plot goes round and round. I was more fascinated with trimming my toe nails then the final showdown between Riddick and the Lord of the Necromongers.

I give this movie 3 out of 5 wangs.

i only watched five minutes of The Chronicles of Riddick just now…

you fell asleep?

Have you noticed heroes in movies can run faster then cars, planes, ice, light….?

just because you have cheap durian over there is a reason to emigrate for me ! yum !

The dog in Riddick looks like walking durain…

vin diesel will always be my hero

aneki, u like durian too? cool… no many westerners can adapt to the pungent smell. :) caleb & i love durians!

durian sandwich???… really!!???

Wacky Queen > So did you watch the rest or not? Must be a pirated vcd right?

Aneki > You dig durians? Far out – you’re the 2nd caucasian I know who digs it. The rest just faint.

Mandrake > Was that a dog or wolf? Looks like a wolf with lots of gatsby hair wax.

Powerpuff > When I grow up, I wanna be just like Vin Diesel.

Picolo > yeah man. I have the durains stored in a fridge so they are cold. Then I peel off the flesh and spread them on bread. Farking ‘A’.

I know of one rawfood fan who got a durian tattoo haha ! It’s “the” thang for rawfooders.

caleb: u can be my hero then when u grow up

aneki: you rock!

I’ve not even watched The Chronicles of Riddick and I’m giving it 0 out of 5 wangs, based on the trailers alone. Speaking of the trailers, I saw it first in the US and I must say the trailers there usually tell the whole story, so you don’t really have to go watch the movie.

Riddick’s trailer look like a B-grade movie. But it was Vin Diesel, what the heck?:P
