Believe pregnant queen can fly

“I believe I can fly.”
- R. Kelly

Piss On You – Dave Chappelle

I read in the papers that there’s this man that truly believes he is pregnant. Yea. I’m the de jure Queen of England. And R Kelly still believes he can fly.

Just to let him piss on you.

Iggy 6th sense mogwai

“You see what sounds to you as like a big load of trashy old noise is in fact, the brilliant music of a genius. Myself. And that music is so powerful that it’s quite beyond my control and when I’m in the grips of it, I don’t feel pleasure I don’t feel pain.”

Some years ago when I was still ‘doing music’, I had once described to a person what it felt like while you’re on stage. Especially when you’re in your element.

I call it the 6th Sense. Cause I felt like my other 5 was almost numb. According to my records, the last time I had my fix, was on 28th May 2004 at an open mic session.

Yesterday I came across a video clip by one of my favourite music makers, Mogwai. In it, is an interview of Iggy Pop.

I think he described it, better than I.

Tie-pin should

“There’s nothing more that I want than to see you. Perhaps that is exactly why I shouldn’t.”

There are certain should and should nots in life that are carved in granite. Some are open to alteration and cultivation.

Recently, I’ve been wearing a tie pin on the top most button hole of my shirt. It’s not something I am trying to start, like how now it’s acceptable to wear jeans with a blazer. It’s just something I do. Because my cognitive capacity allowed me to explore this frill to that realm.

Yesterday I bumped into a (stupid) girl who asked me what was ‘that’. So the conversation went,

A tie-pin.

It should be worn on a tie then.

Yea. But it could be worn here as well. Looks alright.

No. It’s a ‘tie-pin’.

*At this juncture, she’s accentuating her words and speaking at a slower pace. A very subconscious insult that got me ‘TNG!!’. Also, her lines are italicised because stupid people need this kind of attention.*

It should be worn on a tie.

Yea. You’re right. It should. But if you want to dwell on should. Should. Then you, should, be in a prison where there are no lights at night because nobody should, see your ugly face.

Lost the white rock

The pictures you see were taken at the Peace Palace: United Nations International Court of Justice at the Hague in the Netherlands.

It was on 14 November 2007. Day 6 of the Case Between Malaysia & Singapore for the Sovereignty of Pulau Batu Puteh/Pedra Branca, Middle Rocks & South Ledge. I was attached to the legal team of Malaysia as an observer. Which within the ranks, pretty much means Nothing.

Today the ICJ announced that the sovereignty belong to Singapore. I didn’t know what was the outcome of the case when I took the photo below. It actually symbolises me. Lame. Not you. You’re cool.

Still one of the best trips I’ve ever done.

Expensive art bridges

“Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.”
- Claude Monet

Je Suis Venu Te Dire Que Je M-en Vais – Claude Monet Presents Monica Nogueira

.

Recently Claude Monet’s The Railway Bridge at Argenteuil did not manage to sell too well at an auction at Christie’s in London. It is said that the reason is because of the expected recession.

Another why it made news regarding the ‘low’ sale price is because in comparison to his record sale for, one of my favourites, the Waterloo Bridge, Temps Couvert. This one got that dead Frenchman 26 million Euros.

.

I almost got one too myself. A collection of 12 in fact. It was a private sale and I was the exclusive buyer. Special price and at a slightly smaller size. (Monday morning at the Museum of Fine Arts of Antwerp.)

I bought a collection of Van Gogh instead. 12 pieces too. 6 Euros.

Now the bloody calendar is missing.

4b’s and 5e’s of Malaysia and Singapore

“Haiya this fellar. This one cannot, that one cannot. Water can drink not?”
- Calvin Liew

.

I have a ridiculous amount of relatives in Singapore. Each year I spend about an accumulated, 8 weeks in that country. Thus I know the place fairly well and grasp the (hilarious) video quite as much.

Following that, I often gauge the view of people both from Singapore and Malaysia, about what they think of each other and themselves in relation to their peers. This relates to the part in the video where it says, efficiency and low eq.

This is one mutual sentiment commonly shared by people I know on both sides of the border. Malaysians may not be as efficient as Singaporeans, but they are warm. Singaporeans may not be as warm as Malaysians, but they are efficient. To me, truly a half full half empty glass of teh tarik. Or…green tea?

On another note, watching this video makes me miss my Chinese classmates from Bukit Bintang Boys Secondary School.

So this one goes out to Calvin Liew. In his own words, he would probably (affectionately) describe me as ‘the bastard I sat next to in my last year of high school and made me go all Halal when he stayed my house for 3 nights in Brisbane’.

Come to think of it, we actually had a classmate we always called ‘Ca Cheng!’

Keep talking sexy

“You know what they say about a man who has a deep voice? He looks better naked as long a he keeps talking.”

Look Of Love – Isaac Hayes

I’m now having one of those sore throats you get before the fever comes. Naturally my voice now has transformed overnight. Much like young teenage boys who go through that overnight transition and become a man.

For ages now, I’ve been trying to understand the idea of why women find deep vocies sexy. Like in the psychological sense. Is it because it exerts authority? Protection? Composure? Control?

Stupid bladder muscles argument

“Another thing fellars, don’t argue. You cannot win. You cannot beat a woman in an argument. It’s impossible. You will not win. Cause men, we are handicap when it comes to arguing. Cause we have a need to make sense. Women ain’t gonna let a little thing like sense fckup their argument. Cause she’s not in it for sense. She’s in it for distance and irritation. ‘How long can I talk before this mfckr snaps?’”

Never Scared – Chris Rock

I drink a lot of water and persuade those around me to do the same. A girl once told me that there is good in holding your bladder.

For a man, it is usually much wiser to argue with a woman. Because should things not go your way, you can twist the argument into a joke by saying something annoying or pretending stupid. Which in most cases, you’re indeed stupid.

She knows you’re twisting it. She’s just too kind to tell you how stupid you are.

To argue with another man, if you pull the same stunt, you’ll be deemed as a loser. Which in most cases, you’re indeed a loser.

The bladder argument was basically about how a person should always go to the latrine, urinal or jamban. Depending on which your home village have chosen to adopt. Mine, all three of the above. Very muhibah.

Anyway, this girl insisted otherwise. By holding your bladder for a little while, she moots, you are actually training or working out your bladder muscles. Thus keeping in active and functioning till old age. If you don’t do this at all, when you get older, your muscles can’t hold it too well.

You know it. It. Like bring it on. Like that.

Can anyone attest to this? Or better still, attest to my view. Because the argument was like 2 years ago and I’ve had it with being stupid.
