There is no doubt that this is how you’ll probably feeling after today’s “surprise” lunch.  Hope that you withstood it and it wasn’t too painful.  Bonus points if you managed to tick my mum off like I do when I say random shite in front of her friends haha.

It’s bad enough that I am staying up this late and just talking the night away with the people that I care about.  It’s also bad that one of them decides to talk about food and then makes future plans for dinner and the food that we should eat.  So in retaliation I have decided to post a past dinner that I had in Hong Kong, and now will just suffer the consequences as I hear my stomach have a conversation with me….

I am beginning to find a new thrill in reading emails.  No longer are the regular emails giving me the daily joys that I need, instead I have resorted in going through my spam or junk email folder and finding a world that I never knew existed.  The wonderful world of spam is where it’s at and rather then hearing from your peers, family and friends, instead it’s more interesting to hear what your friends in the world of spam have to say.

For example, opening up one email, one of my friends suggest that my penis is rather inadequate and it’s  time that I satisfy her by getting a bigger penis (touché).  To top it off, after having taken that suggestion, perhaps it’s also a good idea to enhance my sexual performance and Greg (another spam friend) has the goods that I need in the form of viagra pills.  If I’m not quite up to the challenge of taking viagra pills, then Stephanie has shown me the ways and has begged me to make my way to the filthiest web site which is full of webcam whores who will do anything at my request(real nice of her that Stephanie).

Having cleared out all those emails, I then get a Nigerian minister who is in the process of being exiled and would like to send his forture of $10 million to my savings account.  All that he  requires is my bank account details, my address and without any obligation he will split the money with me since I have been such a helpful person.

How could I have been so ignorant, after all these years of internet fun, I neglected all my spam friends and now must reply to them and see their responses.  I wonder if we can be budding email friends and start what I see will be a fruitful relationship.

To commemorate Batman; The Dark Knight, I wanted to post this funny ass MTV from a while back.  Jimmy Fallon does such a good job at syncing in with the footage.

Me: How much would you spend on your girl?
Al: Hmmm like 10 thousand or more?
Shaz: I dunno ey something that I can find that probably costs 12 thousand but is a steal

I never anticipated that when people buy diamond rings to propose to their respective partners that they would have to fork out so much money.  I had always intended to possibly spend 1 or 2000 dollars but never more, but now after talking to my close peeps, here they are talking about spending thousands.  In my mind I was thinking why do you need to spend so much just to prove how committed you are and just how much you love someone???  To top it off afterwards, you then have to fork out the extra money to get the wedding rings then the additional costs of the wedding itself.  The wedding would be a damn expensive occasion too, seeing as I’m Viet and I am sure with my extensive background, there’s a lot of family and relatives from afar that I would have to invite.

I mean how much does the engagement ring really need to be?  I thought it was the thought that counts but obviously diamonds are a girls best friend and the more you spend the more she’ll be shrieking with delight and showing it off to her female buddies.  I guess this is where size matters really comes into play, and with the hollywood tabloids showing off the diamonds that the celebs adorn, it’s no wonder that ladies around the world are just as easily influenced.

I’m speaking right now that I am so certain I’ll be thrifty and not wanting to break the bank when it comes to getting the ring.  Without a doubt though if I’m that soaked in love (aka pussy whipped), I’ll probably spend as much as I can, seeing as in past relationships I never seem to think too clearly.

Does anyone agree with me though?  Spending 10 thousand or more does not make up for the years and challenges ahead of marriage.  Nor does it warrant for how much you love someone either.  It’s almost as tacky as spending a lot of money on Valentine’s day. Sigh, how about I’ll just leave it and cross the road when I get there, before I get myself worked up on something that I’m not even sure may happen.

Imagine going to a ice creamery and you’re given only once choice, and that one choice is like the picture below:

 It’s how I consider my life at the moment and it’s ok and not that bad, I mean after all it is chocolate here.  From the picture you would gather that it’s sweet, and you would be satisfied with it no? Imagine however, constantly drinking that same beverage and putting up with it without any complaints. Not to mention how tempting it would be to also want to try other combinations or other flavours and by that time you’ve already got it fixated in your head, that no matter what, the current drink that you have is just going to be disgusting.

An example of one is of my current job right now, and yes it has kept me going in life and paid my bills.  However now it’s come to a point where I would just like to move on and possibly open up more pathways into my life.  Some of the greatest co-workers that I work with are now gone and have found their own career paths that will lead to a more fulfilling role.  While some have stayed and are just making life difficult for others, not that it bothers me but it definitely brings the morale down in the work enviroment.

To ensure that my happiness outside of work is not affected, I’ve started getting some help in looking for a new job and so far it feels great.  It’s like getting a new breath of fresh air and I now look eager to the challenge and the change of scenery, that’s taking into account should I get a new job.  Things are no longer looking like that Ice Chocolate above where it was just one single choice but rather more like this:

 Hmmmmm decisions decisions….

I just got a call from my Dad and it all started like this:

Dad: Hey I just missed you by 5 minutes last night
Me: Well I was expecting you to be home at 6
Dad: Yeah I was busy sorry
Me: ……..
Dad: Can you do me a favour?
Me: Hmm what did you need?
Dad: It’s Co Catherine’s birthday today and can you get me some flowers for her?
Me: I finish late today Dad?!?!!

Seriously who in their right mind calls their own son to get his father’s girlfriend, some flowers just for her birthday.  It’s probably acceptable if say she was my own mother or someone that I’ve known for quite some time.  However in no way does it vouch for someone who is currently 6 years older then me and doesn’t really matter that much to my Dad (he’s still being the same old same old).

Even if my dad has had a child with this woman and they have been together for 4 years or more, I still feel that by me getting my Dad these flowers, I am letting him get away with murder and taking the easy way out of things.  He’s always been like that when it comes to relationships, it’s just all about him and his physical needs.  He’s already got both my sisters not accepting his ways and regardless I will never see a change.

Sigh, however I have to help out the old man since I will feel guilty if I let this slip by and am now about to go get ready to go down the local grocery store and buy him some damn flowers for the lady who does not really matter one bit in my life.

Edit: I didn’t buy it for my Dad, my Dad had wanted me to do this as a surprise for her.  Talk about weird moments.

That picture I believe was when I was possibly 6 or so, and it was in front of the Berlin Wall.  Being a kid and so innocent, there was no way in my mind I even knew what the Wall was all about and what it represented.  As we all know the Wall did eventually go down and it signified a time of change.  Germany became a united country and was no longer referred to as East and West Germany.  26 years later and a lot of things in time have changed, however I look at this world now and sometimes wish that I could go back to those times when things were so much simpler.

Everything now has become so high tech and we take a lot of things for granted. For example, I use to predict the weather by simply looking at the mountain ranges and be able to tell what my day would be like.  Nowadays, you can simple get that information from your iPhone (the latest and greatest of mobile technology).  Emails are now the norm for keeping in touch with friends, family and loved ones, and fading away is the art of writing a letter which held more meaning.  The internet is certainly making things easier and quicker to access information and no longer do you require going to the library when doing research.  In fact I dare say that things nowadays are becoming more and more automated that things one day will no longer require human interactions and instead it’ll all be done via a PC.

Regardless, even though things have gotten impersonal and one day I won’t even have to get out of bed to go to work, I still have adapted and accepted change.  It all comes down however to the individual and whether or not they are will to evolve and go along with the change.  That’s all for now, it was just a random thought…..

Sometimes words aren’t just enough and the damage is too far great.  All that’s left to do is just let it go and move forward.
