Artist: Teddy Geiger
Title: For You I Will (Confidence)

I'm wandering the streets in a world underneath it all
Nothing seems to be
Nothing tastes as sweet as what I can't have
Like you and the way that you're twisting your hair round your finger
Tonight I'm not afraid to tell you
What I feel about you

I'M GONNA MUSTER EVERY OUNCE OF CONFIDENCE I HAVE
AND CANNONBALL INTO THE WATER
I'M GONNA MUSTER EVERY OUNCE OF CONFIDENCE I HAVE
FOR YOU I WILL FOR YOU I WILL

Forgive me if I st-stutter
From all the clutter in my head
Cause I could fall asleep in those eyes
Like a water bed
Do I seem familiar
I crossed you in hallways a thousand times
No more camouflage
I want to be exposed
And not be afraid to fall

I'M GONNA MUSTER EVERY OUNCE OF CONFIDENCE I HAVE
AND CANNONBALL INTO THE WATER


I'M GONNA MUSTER EVERY OUNCE OF CONFIDENCE I HAVE
FOR YOU I WILL
ALWAYS WANT WHAT YOU CAN'T HAVE
BUT I GOT TO TRY
I'M GONNA MUSTER EVERY OUNCE OF CONFIDENCE I HAVE
FOR YOU I WILL, FOR YOU I WILL, FOR YOU I WILL

If I could dim the lights in the mall
And create a mood, I would
And shout out your name so it echoes in every room
I would

That's what I'd do
That's what I'd do
To get through to you

I'M GONNA MUSTER EVERY OUNCE OF CONFIDENCE I HAVE
AND CANNONBALL INTO THE WATER
I'M GONNA MUSTER EVERY OUNCE OF CONFIDENCE I HAVE
FOR YOU I WILL
ALWAYS WANT WHAT YOU CAN'T HAVE
BUT I GOT TO TRY
I'M GONNA MUSTER EVERY OUNCE OF CONFIDENCE I HAVE
FOR YOU I WILL, FOR YOU I WILL, FOR YOU I WILL

Dear ,

Greeting to you,
I am Dr. Best Kone from the northern part of burkina faso.I want to
seek
your assistance after my discovery during auditing in my bank as am the
manager of Bill and Exchange at the Foriegn Remittance Department of
BANK OF
AFRICA,(B.O.A.) In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of
USD$10.8million US dollars in an account that belongs to one of our
foreign
customers who died along with his entire family in plane Crash since
2000,

Since his death, we have been expecting his next of Kin to come over
and
claim his money because we can not release it unless somebody applies
for it
as next of Kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking
and
financial policies but unfortunately all the efforts proved abortive.

IT is therefore upon this discovery that I decided as the head of my
department to make this business proposal to you and release the money
to
you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and
subsequent
disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money
to
go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed bills.

Do not view this as been illegal but an opportunity for us to help
enrich
our hope in life instead of the bank converting this much money to the
security funds.You should not nurse any atom of fear as all required
arrangements have been made for the smooth transfer of this funds and
your
acceptance is what will crown this effort.

We will conclude this operation within 14 banking days based on the
amount
of coperation you will contribute.

Thank you for your understanding as await your urgent response to
enable me
give you more details.


Remain blessed,
Dr. Best Kone.

The anaconda suddenly backed off and slithered away with its tail between its legs...if it had any....

Then i continueed walking down the street...some ninjas were standing staring at me. I thought they wanted to pick a fight with me. So i pulled out my super kung fu hero move i call the standing snake. They all froze in their steps. They bowed down before me and asked to be forgiven and to become my pupils. I said no...they came to me and whispered into my ear...something....then i told them...i dont do ninjas....

so the ninjas left....then i saw horse and a elephant. I was then thinking bout the scene in Freddy Got Fingered. Wahahahah! Damn funny. The two animals stared at me and said...Why you laughing boy?!?!?!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Schools in session...

Everyday need to go to school. Hais...

Im damn bored

I’m damn bored. Here’s a filler post. Some stuff I picked up off the net.

I was born in the month of January 1986.  My Chinese zodiac shows that I’m a Wood Ox. Apparently those born in the months of January and February are not necessarily the “animals” they think they are.  And this also makes me a Capricorn…

Details bout the ox:

The Ox of Chinese Astrology is no bull in a china shop. Steadfast and solid, this powerful Sign is a born leader, being quite dependable and possessing an innate ability to achieve great things. Oxen tend to be plodding and methodical; they approach projects in the step-by-step manner that serves them best, and they never lose sight of their goal. They are tireless workers who are detail-oriented and believe in doing things right the first time.
The world may perceive Oxen as being far too serious or incapable of loosening up. This sturdy sort is less than social by nature and tends to become introverted in a crowd. To make things worse, they can't be bothered with what other people think and prefer to do what makes them feel best. Behind that calm facade, though, lives an Ox who can feel hurt, lonely and unable to connect with others. Friends and family are a great source of comfort to this beast, even if they don't always understand what makes the Ox tick. As a lover, friend, family member or housemate, the Ox makes a wonderfully strong, tender and affectionate companion who is protective and always reliable.
Out in the world, though, Oxen tend to be stubborn, dogmatic, my-way-or-the-highway kind of people who have no concept of when to back down. Oxen don't care to be pushed, especially since they think they're the good guys of the Chinese Zodiac. There is some truth to that theory, since the Ox is smart, trustworthy, caring and honorable. If you need honest, steady and unbiased advice, call on the Ox.
A good lesson for mighty Oxen is to strive to overcome a judgmental nature that keeps them from getting close to others. If they can learn to value their own good qualities, they'll have more room in their hearts to invite others in.
The most compatible match for an Ox is the Snake or the Rooster.

Celebrities include: Bach - Handel - Van Gogh - Dvorak - Walt Disney - Charles Chaplin

Those born in these years are typically reliable and dependable. Ox personalities often rise to positions of authority and make excellent leaders, however they are seldom elected into high official status because of their lack of flair and excitement.
The Ox achieves through routine hard work and patience...not that the Ox lacks a creative imagination. They are hard-working and persistent, and can stick to a task longer and harder than others. They believe in themselves.
Although seldom romantic, the Ox is very tender and loving to the few lucky enough to receive such attention. They are not social or party animals and tend to be quiet when in groups. People who are around oxen-personalities often misunderstand them, but oxen are patient and caring. An ox is the best friend you could choose.
In business, the Ox often bring prosperity as a result of logical thought and extensive planning. They are exceptional at hand-crafts or the arts.
The Ox has a prime place in Chinese symbolism and appears on the first page of almost every Chinese Almanac. The Ox is a symbol of diligence, perseverance, tenacity and thoroughness.

Now about capricorn
Personality Traits
Capricorns live by the steadying hand of their planetary ruler, Saturn. Those born under this sign are noted for being patient, prudent, determined, reliable and disciplined. Saturn brings a constricting influence and yet Capricorns are characterised by a life-long striving towards accomplishment. The sign is known as the most ambitious of the zodiac, driven to climb, yet constantly checked by the pressure of a planet whose nature is to hold back and restrain. As a life-pattern this can result in many crosses to be borne, and Capricorns who have yet to discover their self-worth often feel rather cheated in the gifts that accompany their lot. The tale of Capricorn is that its natives suffer in youth and profit in maturity and old age. Only with the benefit of hindsight can they fully appreciate the process which leads them towards resilience and achievement. The goat is a creature born to tread the rocky and inhospitable path that leads to the mountain heights. Those that stay the course acquire a strength that has been cultivated slowly, deliberately and firmly, their position solidified and their wisdom forged through the hard experience of steadily pursuing their objectives against adversities and obstacles. Sadly, many descriptions of Capricorn dwell too heavily upon the harsher aspects of Saturn as offering a limiting, self-depreciating and pessimistic outlook. Saturn is a planet of realism with a controlled release of energy which does mark the Capricorn as apparently lacking in creative sparkle and exuberant vivacity. As the Sun enters the sign associated with mid-winter, its power is low and the solar qualities of light, warmth, enthusiasm and brilliance struggle to emerge in recognisable ego traits and personality features. Yet the qualities exist, submerged deep within the character. The fire that animates the Capricorn's spirits is gestating and self-contained, but not to be taken lightly. The Romans celebrated the Sun's ingress into Capricorn as Saturnalia, a festival which welcomed back the return of the Sun's power after the shortest day of the year. The emphasis was on renewal of strength, fertility, and power that originates from the depths of being. As the cardinal earth sign Capricorn portrays the enduring and irrepressible spirit of nature. There is a productive fecundity inherent in the symbolism of the goat-fish that is dismissed too lightly if we fail to explore the deeper meanings of this complex ancient symbol. Many astrologers consider Capricorn to be the most enigmatic and mysterious sign of the zodiac. All of the cardinal signs indicate seats of power and in a creature with the forelimbs of a goat attached to the tail of a fish, the abyss of the ocean is combined with mountainous terrain. This represents a 'cross of matter' between the psyche and its manifestation in the material, drawing the soul out of its collective stupor to confront the challenges of reality and individualism. The ocean, besides symbolising primordial roots, relates to instinctive wisdom, secrets, and knowledge that lies buried within the depths of consciousness. Capricorn, bearing only the tail of an aquatic creature, keeps a head that is free from impressionable thought - at a rational level Capricorns are affected only by what they can define through logic and reasoned assessment, but unconsciously, spiritually and emotionally they draw from the deep. This is a sign that is anything but shallow and superficial; beneath the Capricorn's cool, reserved and calculating exterior lies a profound resource of emotional strength, psychic resilience and earthy endurance. The recognisable character traits of the sign reveal compulsion, dedication and perseverance in its aims and interests. Capricorns may not impress others by their motivation but neither do they seek the easy approval or widespread attention of others. Their ambitions - in relationships, career and personal growth - are rooted in an 'inner' motivation that runs too deep to be easily shaken. Their strengths (and their faults) are based upon the qualities of stamina, fortitude, staying power and survival. Some see the Capricorn's scaly tail as that of the sea-serpent, a creature of 'old knowledge', wise in matters of the occult and offering a potential for understanding beyond limited, earthly experience. Capricorns are known for being 'older than their years' and those who take up the study of mysteries and traditions gravitate towards a masterly knowledge of their craft just as the business minded Capricorn will gravitate towards the managerial position. Mastery and power are the understated keywords of this sign. Even the earthy aspect of the goat is frequently underestimated in its potential for symbolising hidden reserves of strength. There is a feature of the goat that deserves special attention in our understanding of this sign. The name 'Capricorn' draws our attention to it and comes from the Latin caper ('goat') and cornu ('horn') - literally 'the Goat's horn'. In the ancient world horns were symbols of royalty, strength and power, as well as fertility and abundance. Cornucopia in mythology was the goat Amalthea who nourished the infant Jupiter with her milk, though the term remains in use today as the 'copious horn' or 'horn of plenty' which symbolises prosperity and growth. The goat is one of the three horned creatures in the zodiac; these were also the creatures celebrated in ancient religious festivals and used in sacrifice to draw power from the gods. The use of the goat as a 'scapegoat' in the biblical ritual of Atonement (see the star lore of Capricorn) has led to goat deities accumulating a reputation as icons of evil occult powers rather than the neutral symbols of earthly fertility and focused power that was implicit in the older customs. J.E. Circlot, in his Dictionary of Symbols, includes an interesting passage on the symbolism of horns as related by the three creatures of the zodiac; the coiled horns of Aries, the inwardly curved horns of Taurus, and the upwardly pointed horns of Capricorn signifying elevation, power and prestige. He notes that in Egyptian hieroglyphics, horns signify what is above the head and by extension 'to open up a path for oneself'. Horns then, are similar to halos and crowns in denoting princely wisdom and illumination. The theme is repeated in ancient depictions of the sign that replace the horned fore-creature with that of a man but retain the imagery of the crown. In later art we find depictions of Moses bearing horns after his descent from the mountain, indicating the radiance of light and wisdom emitted from his head after the divine contact. Elsewhere horns have adorned battle-helmets since prehistoric times in an attempt to capitalise upon their expression of strength, power and force. Jung recognised the horn as a powerful symbol for fertility and dualism, being both masculine - by its phallic and penetrating shape - and feminine - by its receptive, cup like qualities. The goat's horn thus stands as a representation of the elemental energies of the earth, the prime matter from which the alchemical process begins its quest for the transformation of gold. Alchemists have often related 'prima mater' with lead, the metal of Saturn; though it was also frequently associated with the unconscious and thought to come from the mountains where 'all things are one'. The Rosarium terms prima mater the 'root of itself', being the first principle that separates reason from chaos. Many elements in the symbolism of Capricorn make this one of the most interesting signs in terms of the spiritual undertones conveyed by its imagery. In the ancient world Capricorn denoted a noble, kingly wisdom and earth power associated with those who are 'older and wiser'. In Babylonian mythology it is linked with Ea, 'antelope of the ocean' who brought knowledge and wisdom to mankind and was never subject to fits of emotional disturbance or angry wrath, unlike the other early gods. Drawing from his heritage, Capricorn is the caricature of the wise old sage, the one who has the experience to understand human emotional weakness but enough mastery and control over his 'self' to prevent reason being affected by it. Rudyard Kipling was a Capricorn, and his famous poem 'If' reads like the Bible of Capricornian logic in how to develop true strength as an individual - never by trusting to luck, never by aiming to explode upon the world or seeking glory and hopeful expectation, but only through enduring hardship and refusing to be beaten by it, by patient acceptance that the wheel must spin full term, and by tolerance of the hurt that others will inevitably cast your way. In our modern world Capricorn relates to those who manage and lead in all walks of life, from the Capricorn mother, who governs her household with the firm hand of structure and teaches her children that they should restrain their urge for short term gratification and invest in a 'reputable' future; the Capricorn business manager who may seem somewhat unapproachable but is always in control of his responsibilities, and the Capricorn lover who seeks long-term stability over spontaneity and amorous excitement. Capricorns who have risen to fame have generally done so by taking the hard route, gathering respect for their fortitude, resistance and application. Capricorns don't seek fame for fame's sake, are generally uncomfortable in the public eye, and expect to keep their private life private. Theirs is not a 'what you see is what you get' mentality and all Capricorn professionals draw clear boundaries between that made available for public appraisal and the personal self which is never given up to free and open scrutiny. Capricorns are often accused of being motivated by the acquisition of material comforts and financial security. An important keyword here is respect - Capricorns expect to be treated with respect and are sensitive to taking offence when it is lacking. For many this entails living the traditional 'respectable' lifestyle and drawing around them the material trappings of respectability. Even the lesser off Capricorn can't help but see himself as having a position to hold and may care greatly about 'what the neighbours say' to the exasperation of more liberal or free spirited partners. Above all Capricorn is a conservative sign, rooted in conventional morality and bearing a great deference for history and tradition. This is not the sign of the innovator but the preserver, not the gambler but the investor, often willing to take a risk but only where it has been carefully calculated and measured by reason. Neither do Capricorns 'live for the moment' since their personality is defined by an awareness of time and the ever-present need to safeguard the future. Relationships can be the source of considerable pain unless the right circumstances are met. Capricorns have little instinctive knowledge of how to play the dating game and are too earnest with their emotions to respond to light hearted flirtation with carefree abandon. They can suffer through shyness and are seldom at ease displaying affection. Yet Capricorn is a strongly sexual sign - the goat's horn is a symbol of male virility - and their fixed emotions can cause them to remain locked in grief and disappointment if they fail to win the object of their affection. Within relationships they have a strong sense of duty and commitment. This will be highly satisfactory to some but others may perceive it as unnecessarily restrictive and oppressive. Afflicted, the sign can show a tendency towards control and jealousy. The faults of the Capricorn are always more apparent to those who fall into the opposing personality types. As in all the sunsign faults they arise from a negative appreciation of their strengths. Some may feel that they lack spontaneity and creativity and thus perceive them as boring and uninspiring. Others will view their emotional control as hard and unfeeling, regarding them as unresponsive to their moods and undemonstrative in romantic affairs. Even those that appreciate their reasoned outlook and strategic approach to problems can be disparaged by their composed response, regarding them as demoralising and unnecessarily rigid or pessimistic in outlook. All young people can benefit from the guidance of a Capricorn, although most will find their lessons on the need for patience frustrating. Dignified Planets

Typical Features
Capricorn takes its 'typical features from its planetary ruler Saturn. The body is described as 'dry', that is, not much flesh on the bones, inclining towards leanness with little by way of curves. The height is medium - not particularly short or tall. The neck is small or long and small, the chest narrow. The hair is thin and generally dark but sometimes white or very pale. There is a lack of colour in the complexion, it may be dark and brooding or pale and wan. There is very often a prominent bone structure or noticeable features such as a narrow chin or ill-shaped knees.

Traditional Rulerships





























http://www.skyscript.co.uk/capricorn.html
The Sun glowed in Capricorn, the Sea-Goat, a feminine sign on your birthday. The Sun in astrology stands for our inner nature, revealing the mark of our true character. The tenth sign of the zodiac, Capricorn is ruled by powerful Saturn, the planet of structure and responsibility, but it is the exaltation of Mars, the planet of action and desire! A cardinal (creative and original) sign, Capricorn governs public life and organisation, combined with personal ambition and will to succeed. An earth sign, Capricorn is a loyal associate and faithful friend – although the Goat can be quite possessive and even rather jealous.
Saturn, the lord of karma and emblem of structure, is strong. Tenacious, logical and endowed with the capacity to work hard and long, you rarely hesitate to grasp opportunities for advancement or promotion. You are quite well-grounded, especially later in life (over 40), once you have learnt to overcome those early insecurities. More ambitious than you appear on the surface and a natural executive or manager, you set out to accomplish and are determined to succeed one way or another. Pragmatic and goal-oriented, you soon learn how to get things done, for you aspire to positions of power and authority and admire others who attain such positions.
Keys to Success
Initiative and willingness to accept responsibilities are keys to your success, but a false pride makes it hard for you to admit when you are wrong, or to ask others for help. Though you compete aggressively for what you want, you harbour an inner lack of confidence which can make you defensive. Viewing insecurity and fear as weakness, you attempt to hide such feelings, making it hard for others to get close to you.
Hard-nosed Capricorn reacts by assessing the possible worth of any given situation. The goat is a sure-footed, methodical climber. You are heading for the top of the rock, so you'll gladly work long and hard if it means getting what (or who) you want. The energy and randiness of the goat is proverbial, but you can be very lazy if you see no sense in working, or if you can achieve the same high goals in a less strenuous manner.
Structure and Reality
Your sense of humour is generally impeccable, although you fail to see the point of personal jokes at your expense. You hold grudges and will take revenge for perceived slights. The ancient emblem of Capricorn was the sea-goat, half goat and half fish. This symbolised the death of the lower mind and the birth of the spiritual. The goat was a popular sacrificial animal in days gone by.
Saturn, structure and reality, teaches an understanding of limits in all areas of life. You respond to traditional values, rules and regulations, and proper thought and behaviour at an early age, even if you reject these things later. Without a coherent structure to guide you toward your goals, you risk losing your way. Ambition and enthusiasm fade without such a structure on which to hang them. Once the reality of something is understood, it is much easier to handle and manipulate. You can be a good builder, engineer, politician, lawyer, or business executive.
Youthful Appearance
Lean Capricorn develops good eating habits early, which stand you in good stead as an adult. An innate spirit of competition makes you keen on sports, although you can be so aggressively determined to win, you can be less than gracious when you lose. Jogging, running (especially cross-country), golf, skating, hunting, wrestling, boxing, martial arts, and body-building are favorite activities. Although you probably looked older or more mature when you were young, you seem to defy the aging process, and retain a remarkably youthful appearance from your middle years well into old age.
Capricorn rules the bones and joints (especially the knees), teeth, and skin. Sensitive skin, allergies, and broken bones are problems, while worrying too much can also result in physical disorders. You suffer from insecurity and anxiety in your youth, but blossom under Saturn in your later years.
Your colours are chocolate brown, royal and navy blue, dark green, charcoal grey and red. Capricorn rules metallic lead, while the red garnet is your birthstone, which protects against accidents and falls. In some ancient societies, garnets were worn only by royalty. Capricorn flowers include the camellia, orange blossom, carnation (red), baby's breath, and magnolia.

Capricorn, symbolized by the Goat, is a Cardinal Earth sign.  Like the goat, Capricorns want to climb to the top of the mountain.  Ruled by Saturn, they are ambitious, determined, persistent and willing to do the hard work necessary to achieve their goals.  Career is important.  Underlying their determination to succeed is a desire for recognition, status, and prestige.  Capricorns are responsible, conscientious, efficient, organized.  They can be domineering, bossy and unforgiving of those who are not as diligent as they are.  Consistent with their Earth energy, they are practical, sensible, down-to-earth, dependable and conservative.  Capricorn is also cautious and somewhat inhibited.

Saya anti - anti rasuah

was walking around in sarawak plaza.
saw a cop...was relly bored and thought ild go greet him and make friends...

heres the conversation

wei:*taps police officer on shoulder and scans for his name tag and notices the "saya anti rasuah" badge"
PC: Ya? Boleh saya tolong anda?
wei: oh..nah,..i just thought ill strke a conversation with you regarding the rasuah tag.
PC: oh...macam tu...nm...u tak pernah nampak ka?
wei: no no..tak...i find it funny la. don take this personally ok?
PC: nothing to be ashamed of...i don condone this act.
wei: but sir..out of the records la, will u accept if someone offered you?
PC: depending oso, if its worth it. but normally nola.
wei:but im anti-anti-rasuah bor...how?
PC: o_0
wei: Gotcha! nah...just wanted to see your reaction. you dont mind if i get to know your name do you? In case anythng i can contact u la
PC:err...ummm...
wei: forget it la.



That conversation however...never actually happened. I just saw a policeman with his name tag and the saya anti rasuah badge and was playing with the idea. bleh.

Not meant as an insult to our police force or anything.

I originally intended to tell him I'm also anti rasuah, but i dont have a badge to prove it. Then again, maybe i should have been mean and looked at it closeer and innocently say, nanti has a "n" in front right?



hrmmm...if im not wrong anti anti is termite in bm rite

*waits half an hour...prepares some refreshments needed to replenish everyone's energy after given the all deserving beating to the idiot who keeps blocking my view of the scenery out side my house*
*

-half an hour later-

troops arrive.
*goes over to neighbour's house, calls the driver out to remove his car*
*idiot neighbour trys to argue and defend his "right" to park there*

First strike occurs.

*neighbour cries and says he'll move the car...tries to call friends*

*neighbour drops handphone and runs for life*

iron rod smacks neighbour in the back of the head.

neighbour falls to the ground...groaning in pain.

*takes key out of pocket, moves car by self*

*sigh*

i wish this was true...bloody idiots...keep blocking my view of the scenery...ergh!

A letter to some screwed up internet service provider

I really want to write something like this to those bloody people.

Dear Sir/Madam.

RE: Crappy Streamyx Connection

In reference to the above, I would like to inform you that I have been constantly facing problems with my connection since it was installed on x.

2. With all due respect, I view your company to be a pioneer in the telecommunications for our much loved country of Malaysia. Seeing that the internet is part and parcel of telecommunication, I would suppose that this issue is not to be taken lightly.

3. The connection instability in my area has been going on for a period of x year. And this has become a bane rather than an improvement of living standards.

4. How can you expect people to use your bloody services when they can’t even stay connected for more than 10 minutes!?!?!?! Oh…I forgot…You’re a bloody MONOPOLY. No wonder. But wait…Shouldn’t you do something to maintain your position???? I know you all can hear us. You’re just lazy and don’t want to do work. Maybe it’s also because I have serious doubt in our so called justice system.

4. I was notified by your employees that the issue is caused by
i) usage of a router modem.
ii) The cables in this area having high resistance
iii) The weather

5. I would like to clarify that the issue with a router modem has no connection as we have tried using a normal typical ADSL modem and still face this problems. And what kind of lame ass reason are you giving me? The weather???? What the? Ok…now that is lame! Why does the rain make the connection go hay wire? Explain it bitch! OR I will stick my internet cable up your urethra. Then again maybe I shall stuff it into your nostrils and push it until it comes out of you non existent anus.

6. This is stupid you know. I hear bloody ads during the holidays on how to get the kids to use your so called broadband…imagine...paying for a 512 Mb line tat only delivers a quarter of that speed consistently. Streamyx…should I say…strip-my-money-from-me?
I mean. Shut the fuck up about your crappy services…polish up your bloody customer support also. The fucking people cannot even understand English. And yes…They are good hardworking people who try to help us…but they are also stubborn and not too helpful. You want to know why? I called…they said it’s my problem, what kind of help is that. Typical…push the blame around.


7. I have given up all hope in your services. I hope that your own internet connection fail you. And may the Gods command all the serpents to spit venom into your eyes when you wake up in the morning.


Your Sincerely,
-wei-

The Arrival of Wei-izm

I have finally moved to blogspot. Everyone smile now.

I am Wei. And you shall Address me as Wei. Nothing more, nothing less.

I shall see that my confused and rather irrational ideals be spread across this thing called the internet.

You all shall be entertained by my semi-rational ramblings about day to day life, and my nonsensical and rather sexed-up tales of the daily adventures of my alter egos and I(or is it Me?)
