narcissist.

ah the inner narcissist has overwhelmed my uptight catholic nature once again. sigh. so i am posting here again. while keeping the livejournal one up still.

i am not even asking myself why.

:)

just the other day, a business friend of mine popped by the office. i call him chinafan becoz he is in love with the "sights" of china and assorted mountains. so chinafan came down for kopi, with assorted china-members (other china travellers with similar inclinations) having just returned from a 1 month "gruelling" shanghai trip, which "was physically and mentally taxing" with a smile.

(having done my 4 trips tour of duty in china, i am sufficiently equipped with the knowledge that that meant simply: many women, not enough time.)

anyway, we ordered our rounds of kopi. halfway through exchanging notes on the philosophy of chinese women (major studies) he suddenly turned to me:

chinafan: hey before i flew, there was one day i was driving home listening to lush, vivien tan.

me: ah-huh.. hot chick man. *drink kopi*

chinafan: yeah yeah major hot. anyways, then they suddenly went into poetry, something about candle and candle being blown out, and then suddenly, they said your name.

me: yeah what i write one of course they must say my name ma. *drink kopi*

chinafan and assorted china-members: whoa u write poetry ah?

me: yeah, fuck i told you guys this before.

chinafan and assort china-members: oh, no wonder you gay lo.

me: nabey! * _|_ all round *

not.shy.

anyways, from my prev. post, not that it matters, but i am now, more or less, at overtlyshy.livejournal.com

will be back at this space still, but havent really figured livejournal's fun-ness yet, so let me play first, kay?

u know poetry on livejournal just looks so much nicer. but ranting feels better on blogspot and i would like to keep the 2 separate. so we'll see how it goes.

haha, my little article for substation mag. got tomorrow-ed. okok, u know, actually there is a certain vanity that comes with seeing your own name in print, i must admit.

the catholic boy in me just keeps shouting "sin, sin...".

why, i dunno.

am also jealous, because someone i know might give it all up to go back to studying. research. sponsored. on a subject close to my heart too. congrats and good luck and i just wanna say this:

i also wan. :(

but my bluff-people degree definitely not counted loh. so back to school and f-ing basics if i ever wan to get a proper master or something. sigh. i would so love to go back to studying.

anyway as for the article, if u are that bored, here it is.

back in a week or half a month i guess.
