For God's sake... don't you people get it?


People are just downright either :
(1) stupid
(2) retarded
(3) moronic
(4) all of the above.

Stop SMS-ing me your bloody song requests. I can't be arse to read or reply. If you know me well enough, you'll respect my stand on such rude and unethical bad habit. This is not a bloody radio station. Also stop asking why the guestlist is now closed, especially so when I've already explained about the limited capacity. Lastly, stop asking me what is the address of the bar. There's such a thing called "the internet". Heard of it? If not, there's always the traditional Yellow Pages, where you can slap yourself silly with it for being such a freaking ignorant irritant!

Everytime I play a party here or something, thanks to such people, I actually don't look forward to it! Complete killjoy!

Want to hear your favourite over-exposed POP TRANCE tunes is it? Bring your own mp3 player and leave me the hell alone!

Halloween Greetings...


Sorry, I'm just not exactly in any celebratory mood whatsoever due to the personal matters at home. Don't expect to be enthusiastic in anyway. I'm one person that wear my emotions on my sleeve. Nonetheless, for those that are heading out this Halloween... have fun and be safe!

In the meanwhile, poetry time! :p

On these grounds we use to play
On these swings we use to sway

With nothing left between of us to say
What we held on is gone today...

And the No. 1 spot goes to...

The Top 100 DJs polls is exactly like the English Premier League. Predicted and getting somewhat boring.

The score? Trance 7, Progressive House 2, House 1. Then again, it's quite reflective of the electronic dance music scene, isn't it? House is like getting nowhere (and David Guetta sucks) and the Trance monster truck just keeps garnering momentum each year.


01. Armin van Buuren
02. Tiësto
03. Paul van Dyk
04. Above & Beyond
05. David Guetta
06. Ferry Corsten
07. Sasha
08. Markus Schulz
09. John Digweed
10. Infected Mushroom

Snowy is back!


Cheerfully brilliant. Just what I need right now!

Before you said those words
And now even in the darkness
I can see how happy you are..."

No sacrifice is too big...


There comes a point in life when one's virtue and character is called to the "test". Particularly in the area of "孝" or in more familiar terms, "filial piety". And it's not just about giving your parents or elders respect and pocket-money. It's about making sacrifices and it's about sharing the burden.

Come the end of next week, I'll be stopping my work because my father is going for a triple heart bypass and for the next 2 - 3 months, he'll need a lot of help in recovering. My mother is already doing a lot for the family and I do not expect her to be physically able to handle certain tasks. Sure, one may suggest the hiring a home nurse or something of the like. But truth be told, would you TRUST a complete stranger to execute their required duties diligently on your loved ones? Would you have the peace of mind?

This is my willing sacrifice for a father who has gone through happiness and sadness with me. A father who has supported my passion, beliefs as well as encouraging me through the mistakes that I've made in life. A father who has ever so often giving me great advises. I was never close to him during my teenage days (mainly because I was rebellious) and I grew to fear him instead of respecting him. But somehow, life has a funny way of working things out. Today, I'm growing closer to him than I ever was. I share many things with him... my work, my experiences, my opinions. And I'm about to share the existence of this blog with him after this. After all, he should know the persona that is known as Yukun.

I thank all my close friends and the like for all their well-wishes. I have faith, I have hope and I'll see this through no matter what.

For those of you who may have grown estranged from your loved ones, perhaps you may want to consider mending those bridges before it's too late. Time can only go forward and living a life of regret is something we should all avoid.

Superman gets it on with Spiderwoman!


I think all the directors in Bollywood films are either fucked-in-the-head or high on some illegal substance. And their audience must be fucking retarded to really appreciate such horrendously stupid crap.


Indian Superman doesn't give a flying fuck (literally) because dances like no one's watching. He canoodles with Indian Spiderwoman at 5000 feet. He sings like a drunk William Hung. His enemies fear him because he's likely to make them die laughing... which isn't really THAT bad. He doesn't have X-Ray vision or super-breath. Hell, he probably can't out run a speeding bullet. But you're most certainly going to smell him 5 blocks away!


Oh... and he's gay because he love to grope testicles.

Happy Deepavali!


... one firecracker coming right up!

OK, so I say the most insensitive things at the most inappropriate times. So what? Have a bloody sense of DARK humour, can?

The day I went East after many eons!

If you own a blog (like I do) and your mates come up to recommend certain things for you to blog, you know that you're read widely and that you've some kind of effect on the readers, one way or the another in some degrees. Anyway, I promised them that I'll blog about this...

Yesterday was one of those occasions that the bunch of us managed to gather for good company, conversation (i.e. talk cock) over BBQ and drinks. The last time I went to the Costa Sands chalets at Paris Ris... it didn't look like THIS!


Call me out-of-the-loop, call me a rural-dweller but the freaking place looks more like a mega-shopping mall than a holiday chalet resort. You've got 24-hour McDonald's, a multiplex movie house, a jackpot room, a food court and countless shops of every nature imaginable inside what seems to be a labyrinth. I mean, convenience is one thing but it kind of defeats the purpose when you're planning a stay to "get away from it all."


Which brings me to the agenda of this post. If you or any of your friends ever intend to book any of the chalets here... stay the fuck away from Block L and M because it's right next to the bloody go-kart race track. The noise is just downright goddamn I.R.R.I.T.A.T.I.N.G.!


I'm fine if they sounded like F1. Problem is, that they all sound like the broken-down engine of a sampan boat and that goes on and on... which makes me wonder if the developers of the resort actually had any brain at all, putting chalets right next to it and charging the same price as the other quieter plots. Having amenities and attractions is one thing. Having the SPACE to do it is another.

Another fine example of "you can't have everything when the country is so bloody small!"

p/s This Halloween... I'll be Mr. Nobody... so don't ask me what my costume is. Self-explanatory!

Can't read English but can understand pictures?


Singapore a gracious society? Singaporeans have heart? Singaporeans care for each other? My foot! The fact that we have over 1 million foreigners here that may not be better skilled than any of us but have better benefits than our own local citizens, makes this a shelter rather than a country. Stop patting yourselves on the back for contributing to the President Star Charity and other similar crap. It's hypocrisy and it's blatant best.

TWICE yesterday I gave up my seat to TWO visibly OLD ladies in the train. And TWICE the people around me gave me the funny look as if I've did something seriously wrong. Oh, I'm sorry... I didn't know I was suppose to apply glue to my arse and miraculously fall asleep like the rest of you whenever an elderly person is within the vicinity. My bad!

For fuck sake... what's the problem with you people? You can't stand, is it? Will die if you give up your seat? Have to be seated next to your family / partner? Seriously... WHAT THE FUCK?

Then again, maybe I should thank you selfish bastards because I actually felt good raising above the rest of you assholes. You know what they say about karma. What does around, comes around. And it did in the form of Everton drawing against Man Utd. No need for me to explain what the pay-out odds were for that match.

Champion Moron is reading this!

"Hey Yukun, why did you blog about me replying your party invite in your last post? It's not a very nice thing to do, you know?"

So sue me then you stupid twat!

Actually, you should sue yourself. Who ask you to be so fucking moronic in the first place?

WTF is wrong with some people?


You know people are just downright idiots when they say things like...

"Majestic Bar is too far!"

So what do you define as near? It's bloody Singapore. It ain't exactly a visible country on the world map, in case you haven't realized that by now... making it possible to drive from one end of the country to the other in merely 45 minutes... with a flat tire. You know what I reckon? Some people just have no basic common sense whatsoever and yet they must open their mouth to tell the world just how fucking moronic they are. Mother never teach you is it? Nothing clever to say, please shut up.

If you get sent an invite and you're not interested... so be it. Don't have to reply by saying things like the amount or... "I'm away" or "Can't make it" or "I got work the next day".

Reality check, people. No one gives a flying fuck if you're in Hanoi getting a budget penile extension or that you have to work your arse off for a slave-driver.

The world is already stupid enough so spare us anymore redundancies!

Stinko...

For the first time this morning, after traveling to and fro to work on a 45-minute ferry ride for almost 3 months... I puked. No, not because I got seasick / motion sickness. Unfortunately for me, I had the misfortune of sitting next to Pepe Le Pew.



This 40-plus year old man should be declared a bio-hazard! It was the worst case of putrid body-odor. I actually felt my nostrils burn. The last time I had such a "sensation" was during my chemical defense training in the army when we were subjected to pepper gas. Even dog shit don't smell this bad! I tried to endure but my breakfast just had to come back out for fresh air.

Seriously, I know it's kind of rude to tell a person he has an offending smell but if it's going to endanger the public's health, shouldn't there be a law of some kind to protect the rest of us? The government have all sorts of stupid campaigns and they should have one for people with foul body smells. My God, I know how a decomposing corpse smells like and that's an air fresher compared to this man! I thought I'd died and gone to hell!

The army should employ him as a top secret chemical weapon. He'll be more devastating than a mega-tonne nuclear warhead! Fuck, the world's superpowers will shudder in extreme fear when they take a whiff...

"You sea-sick, ah?", he asked after seeing me puke.

"No man, it's you. You smell worse than a dead fish..."



"... you smell like TWO dead rotting fish
that's been baking in the sun for a decade!
"

None of that overhyped Superstar-dom or over-rated and over-commercialized big names. Thank you for keeping it real, John! Will be seeing you soon... I hope.

Liverpool = Gay

Liverpool FC are the Premiership homosexuals because they always come from behind. Seriously... it's a open known fact that Steven Gerrard and Alonso are the "best of mates" in more than the usual buddy way. Here's the photo evidence.

It's also no secret, as made known by the British tabloids, that Gerrard likes trannies too. Another casualty to an otherwise manly sport...

Lazy Sunday Snooze...


It's Sunday and it's raining... PERFECT!!!

Time to kick back...

SMS : "Hey Yukun, you working this weekend?"

Reply : "Nope. Where got time!!?"

I can't remember the last time I actually had to work during weekends but for a while it was for the longest time ever. It was bloody torturous and downright demoralizing. Your friends, loved ones and family are off and you can't spend any time with them. It indirectly killed my passion and interest and made me very disillusioned with DJing and clubbing industry. Of course, other factors contributed to that outcome as well. And because of that, I decided to stop lying to myself and flick the middle finger to a never-ending road of frustration that meant very little in terms of future development.

To work hard or to work smart? I think it doesn't take a genius to figure that out, unless you're equally starry-eyed like I was. I thank God because now I only work a 4-day work week starting from 11am - 5pm and that gives me loads of time to...



Having the time to laze is indeed a luxury that many don't have the privilege to do so. I'm going to savor the moment... for the entire weekend and plonk myself in front of the TV and catch up on the huge stack of DVDs that I've yet to watch. Don't envy me. You too can make the choice... to be a slave to the system or to live your life? How long to you want to spend 3/4 of your life working a dead-end job? When are you going to enjoy life? When you're frail and weak?

Remember the golden rule to being a complete sloth :

"There is always tomorrow."

I've wagered money on Chelsea to beat the crap out of Middlesbrough tonight so it's going to be quite an enjoyable laze on the sofa :)

Talk talk talk... is all they ever do!


I didn't make this up... the stereotype of the typical Singaporean housewife (with no life outside of marriage and kids). I had the displeasure of enduring one of the worst case of chatterboxes during my 45-minute ferry ride to work today...

Sitting right next to me were two housewives who left their kids with the maid to have a day out at the casino. How did I know? It was in their conversation. Not that I was eavesdropping but I think they had one coffee too many and where speaking way louder than the noisy engines of the ferry. They say when MEN gather, the amount of cock they can talk is unbelievable. Put TWO housewives together, they can talk till the cows come home after walking around the equator a thousand times!

And by God, their conversation topics were random as hell and it went something close to the following for almost 45 minutes... non-stop!

"My hubby hor... bite his toenails one!"
"I tell you, my maid damn one kind."
"My daughter got body ordour."
"And then hor... my dog..."
"That day my neighbour fall down the stairs."
"You got tell your hubby you go casino?"
"My baby shit green in colour one leh!"
"Are we there yet?"

Oh my fucking God!!! Do they know that talkativeness really puts people off? Especially when it's so good damn loud! And I happen to overhear them while plugged into my iPod listening to Metallica's new album... above the din of the engines! That's how loud they were! If it was a 14-hour flight to Europe, I bet you they could go on and on and keep the plane in mid-air with the engines off, considering the amount of hot air the both of them can generate PER MINUTE!

Shut up already!

You may think that these two women are long time friends catching up on lost time. Accordingly to part of their elaborately redundant conversation, they're next door NEIGHBOURS.

Perhaps the Singapore government can consider adopting this law they have in the United Kingdom, applicable in all modes of public transport! That would be such a torture for some people, eh?

On the iPod...



For those that appreciate the deeper sensibilities and music manipulation work... this is simply a work of musical art. It's the perfect antidote for an afterhours soundtrack or a morning wake-up call. A soft caress to the brain and ears. I've been looping the album for about 8 times now and I'm still intriguing drawn to it. Inspiring to say the least.

Sick as hell :(


Doctor says I have it so "thou shall not speak for a few days". Fine by me. It hurts like hell anyway. So excuse me if I don't pick up any calls or reply any of your messages. I'll be in bed with a cold pack over my throat. Not in the mood for anything at all. Good night on a Sunday afternoon!

Saturday, October 11, 2008

Ouch! I can't talk... that's why I blog!

No voice and I'm not picking up any calls because all you're going to hear is my breathing. Going to just lie in bed and be a complete sloth this weekend. Hopefully the cough and sore throat goes away due to the induced boredom. It's a new recovery therapy that's still under trial... just lie there, do absolutely nothing and listening to all the albums from Sigur Ros playing back to back.

Kowpeh some more?



Some Singaporean heartlanders are even dumber than they look and yet are as arrogantly stubborn despite facing impossible odds of winning an argument. When you're in a PRIVATELY-OWNED casino, it has it's own house rules and reserve the right to EVERYTHING. You're invited to someone's house, you jolly well don't act like you own the fucking place. And yet... Singaporeans will be Singaporeans. And just because you raise your voice doesn't make you right either.

"I demand! It's my right as a Singaporean!"

Hello! Moron! The ship's on international waters. What rights you talking about? Singaporeans got rights? What? Democratic rights? Sure or not? I thought all Singaporeans abide by all rules and regulations without question authority?

Anyway for the sake of the rest who bother to read this blog; and since Singapore will soon see it's own casinos up and running, let me share this incident so that neither of you will ever embarrass yourselves in such a similar case.

In every card game at the casino, the dealer (that's the person hired by the establishment to facilitate the game) will always "BURN" the first card before dealing. What is that? A burn card is a playing card dealt from the top of a deck, and discarded ("burned"), unused by the players. Burn cards are almost always placed face down next to the discard pile without being revealed to the players.


OK, dream on...
casinos dealers are not THAT hot!


Burning is most often performed in casinos to deter a form of cheating known as card marking. In poker, for example, the top card of the deck stub is burned at the beginning of each betting round, so that players who might have been able to read markings on that card during the previous round are less able to take advantage of that information. Knowledge of a burn card might be marginally useful, such as knowing there is one less Ace in the deck, but far less so than having it in play.

Burning can also be used to prevent second dealing - a method of manipulating a deck of cards, during a card game, by way of dealing the second, rather than the top, card of the deck, for the purpose of cheating. A card cheat who specializes in manipulating playing cards is called a card mechanic.

Anyway, a casino does not need to CHEAT to survive. As long as there are gamblers with no self-control, idiots that play the slot machines and morons that try to beat the system at roulette... that's sufficient. Won't explain why. Just that it's something to do with near-impossible winning odds at those games.

So today, an uncouth Chinese-speaking man (most likely a taxi driver) lost a card game and accuses the dealer for not burning the first card. It's a known fact that all casinos are fitted with CCTV not only for security reasons but also for cases of disputes like such. When the supervisor calls to the security room to verify the validity of the game and concurs that the first card was burned, let it rest. Instead, he flew into a fits and said that he has the right to view the recording as well and went on to accuse the establishment for cheating his money.

Hello Unkle, your fucking $160 very big is it? Casino want to cheat might as well cheat the high stakes table. Use your fucking brain can?

Wanna act like hero some more. Threaten not to patronize the casino ever again. Insist to see the boss. Accuse the dealer and the floor supervisor of working together to cheat your money. Make noise about you being a Singapore Citizen and all. Say Singapore got laws about cheating.

You think your money damn special and big is it? You think you've special privileges? You think the boss damn free to entertain your $160 dispute? Later he ask his chief-of-security to throw that amount in $5 chips at your balls! And this is not Singapore, stupid!

Anyway, just to shut his mouth from further vulgarities and spoiling everybody's mood, he was ushered to view the recording of the game. He returns silent as a mouse, looking like the complete moron that he already is in the first place. Oh by the way, the boss did called regarding this matter and he says...



So the next time if such a thing happens to you in the Singapore casinos. I hope you know better. By the way, the idiot is effectively banned from the Singapore ones, Genting and all the regional ones. Yes, all casinos are linked to filter out "undesirable" characters. What else will get you banned? Banging on the slot machines just because you lost.



It's not the machine's fault. It's your fault and you should go bang yourself against the pavement. Why? It's not called the "one-arm bandit" for no reason. Your odds of winning at the jackpot machine is 1-to-zillion. Oh, a little secret? It's "electronically-engineered", that's all I can say. Go figure that for yourselves.

Have a great weekend ahead. I know someone isn't, after losing money, making a monkey out of himself, getting thrown out and banned for life from all regional casinos. Oh, and for providing a brief moment of light entertainment for the guests. It was hilarious to say the least :D

********************



"Eh, Unkle... no go casino liao?"

"Enough liao hor, don't say me anymore can?"

It's just a little history repeating...


Go GOOGLE on the stock market crash of 1929, circa The Great Depression. And if all signs are true, it's coming full circle. Raising cost of living, stagnant salaries, spike in unemployment rate, the collapse of finance houses and the addition ERP gantries. OK, I made the last one up but you get the picture that recession is lurking and waiting to hit big time! So those with jobs, hold on to it and stop complaining that you can't take leave to go on your secret dirty getaway. Those without jobs, brace yourselves. History does repeat itself ever so often... and it's all going belly-up in rapid time!

Viva la Alias!

Screw the long-winded Prison Break, the pointless Lost... nothing quite beats the old-skool on-the-edge-of-your-seat espionage suspense like Alias.  When it was on television, I didn't catch any of the episodes or bothered to follow it.  I can't recall for whatever reasons either.  Nonetheless, thanks to the current rage of TV series being released as DVD-box sets and the availability through rental, I'm hooked!

And thankfully, I know this ends in FIVE seasons.  Can't say the same for some painfully ongoing series that have stretched beyond paper-thin.  I'm done with the first.  Season 2, here I come.  Now there's something to do on my long ride to work and back to home each day :)

And that means one day less of making some easy money... SHIT!
Ah well... I'm off to sleep for the rest of the day.

It's been a dreadfully boring and slow week. I've been feeling extremely sluggish for several weeks now. Don't really know why either. Every thing's out of sync and tediously draggy. Maybe it's the news of my ex-classmate passing away due to colon cancer. I think I've been lamenting since then. Life's so unpredictable and it makes me wonder if I have enough time to attain what I hope to achieve. One can't deny their fear for the unknown. I fear time, to be honest. It knows no friends at all.

OK, time to get a hot cup of cocoa, get back into bed and put on two gorgeously witty albums on this somewhat slow Sunday.
