Lousy Domain Names

http://www.nextwebgen.com/2006/08/02...-company-urls/

The top 10 unintentionally worst company URL
Everyone knows that if you are going to operate a business in today’s
world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name
selected as other see it and not just as you think it looks. Failure to do
this may result in situations such as the following (legitimate) companies
who deal in everyday humdrum products and services but clearly didn’t give
their domain names enough consideration:

1. A site called ‘Who Represents’ where you can find the name of the agent
that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it… is
www.whorepresents.com

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange
advice and views at
www.expertsexchange.com

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at
www.penisland.net

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at
www.therapistfinder.com

5. Then of course, there’s the Italian Power Generator company…
www.powergenitalia.com

6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South
Wales:
www.molestationnursery.com

7. If you’re looking for computer software, there’s always
www.ipanywhere.com

8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is
www.cummingfirst.com

9. Then, of course, there’s these brainless art designers, and their
whacky website:
www.speedofart.com

10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at
www.gotahoe.com

Friday Rules

The rules are simple.

Friday Nights are date nights.
Friday Nights are boys/girls' night out only if:
1) you dont have a bf/gf
2) your other insignificant half do not wish to see your face
3) you're tagging along to your boys/girls' night out

Isnt that the unwritten fundamentals?

So my point is, this rule ought to be strictly followed.

the other truth

My brother lamented that we should be made to pay increases in tax since there's a surplus in the budget (studying econs for As now, so can quote facts)

while eating a doughnut and too tired to think, i commented that some place have a 17.5% tax, hence our country's new 7% is pretty low.

and i suddenly realised and told him:

BUT THOSE ARE WELFARE STATES!!!

people there get retirement benefits, we have to save for our own retirement through CPF, which may not be enough.

Single parents can queue up for social benefits. Unwed girls here cant even get the baby bonus! So that's why the probability of babies appearing in rubbish dumps actually exist.

Oh, so my government are playing mind games now. you see, before elections they give people money to 'cope with the economy', which they claim have nothing to do with elections.
so means after elections can raise the GST to 7% ?

you see, for those of you who forgot your economic theory, there are a few types of tax:
poll tax - stupidest cos it taxes rich and poor same amount
progressive tax - usually on income to place more burden on the rich
regressive tax - to kill consumers like us GST GST GST GST GST cos we have no choice die die have to pay if you want to buy stuff.

i can almost predict this:

yea. wait til the bus company increases prices again due to 'increases in cost of goods and service'.

then you ministers with the high paycheck to notice the little difference it makes to your pockets can sit in your air-conditioned office (adding CFCs to the environment) while common people are jumping off mrt tracks cos we are all too fucking poor.

see?
now we all know why.

time to take a walk

I admit i'm not much of a counsellor. not good at encouraging people, and i fail at handling relationships.

I've always believed in the contradicting sides of logic and passion when it comes to handling these things, so when i yell "it's not about whether you're good enough for another person", i know i'm preaching. after all, i'm talking about another person. sounds easy doesnt it? it's so much clearer to look at what others do.

i score less at self-criticism. i just block out all possible voices.

When both the logic and passion voices becomes muffled, one reality becomes crystal clear:
How can i expect anyone to love me when i dont even love myself?

No man is an island.

No man is an island.

I try to be.

I've been stocking up on food and water and everything i need in my 10 metresquare room (ok.. you know how lousy my estimation and math is, i have no idea how small it is)

I must say i love it. i have a queen size bed, enough wardrobe space (although its bursting, but the salesperson said it was enough for two person), a nice little dressing table, and a desk (recently, i found out that one of my tutorial mate has to share a study table with her sister, so for that i'm very grateful), 2 notice boards, 2 bookshelves, a laptop, and a laser printer.

of cos there's a trade-off.

I can barely walk in my room.

I think the business modules about a company's ability to self-sustain is getting to me.

I'm insane enough to walk past a binding machine in Carrefour and stop and stare. Fact is i dont need it, but think of all the things i can do with it! (bind) oh wait.. i only have one more sem to go... what can i bind? at most 3 reports??!!

but that's just fantasy. i would consider a TV, but there's absolutely no space to put it. and.. i have no TV cable.. so that sucks..

No need for a fridge cos i dont really drink cold drinks.. but a fridge for ice cream! omg! let me see.. i'll put it on top of my dressing table and block my mirror. yep.. nice try.

I think i forgot that the company has limits to growth.. i need to expand my room size before i can be self-sustainable by adding stuff..

in case you're wondering, my guitar is on top of my wardrobe collecting dust.. nowhere else to put it.

the worst part is, when i throw my teddy bear off the bed when i sleep at night, it rebounces off the wall and falls back to me.

and.. i've also come to the realisation that i cant be an island without a bathroom.

but you can declare your undying love for someone else in a public blog over the internet.

and it kills you to say it to me.

i'm not angry.
i'm disappointed.

some people just dont get it

of course. i've said this before.

you lay your filthy tongues off my friends.

it's just too bad you're not in my school or i will make your life a living hell.

you want to scold them? get past me.

and just because you fucking cant get into my school doesnt mean you can insult
"smart undergrads".

yes i am making a fuss out of this because you caught me at a fucking bad mood.
and i repeat: no one insults my friends.

if my lawyer's still in singapore, i would have sued the living crap out of you.
