Welp, I'm still alive

Well guys, look! It's February! Oh dear.
I know I have been missing for a darn long time. But I thought it would be best for me to catch up with you guys now. (If any loyal fans even exist and see this)

I'm back. Hopefully for good this time. *Crosses fingers*
So a lot of you are following the Steven Lim vs Aaron Tan incident huh.
I think I would just like to share a few insights to this fiasco. I mean, this is probably more exciting than the sex scandals of seemingly important characters who have been taken into custody by the police.
Do correct me if I am wrong btw... I'm more than willing to resign from my post just months after I won a General Election.
But I digress.
As much as I am interested in seeing how to fight between two video warriors duke it out in the ring (which I seriously doubt will happen at all), I believe we need to take a close look at the two of them.
Aaron Tan. How old is he? And he's already famous and probably ruined his future.
His goal? To get attention.
Something he probably didn't get at home. He doesn't mind if it is negative attention.
But then the negative attention starts to get to him. And he's breaking down.
Maybe, just maybe. We should stop. We don't want him to end up like Steven Lim.

Speaking of which. Steven Lim has most definitely ruined his entire life by making ridiculous videos and tweeting nonsensical nonsense. He earns money by getting people, (good and innocent people) to watch his videos and comment, life, favorite... whatever. He earns money from all your clicks. That's right. While you're laughing at him, he's laughing all the way to the bank.

My point? I think we should stop giving these people the attention they crave and let them be. Without attention, perhaps they might give themselves the slaps they need to get back on track in life.
So yeah. I would like to appeal to people to stop sharing these videos as they only cause more harm than good. More than you know.

Soap and the Papi

I heard the wikipedia and many other sites are blacking out in protest of this soap and the papi thing.
So I guess I'd do the same.
Is the blog black enough?
Let me know in the comments down below

Reliving 2011

You don't say

At the off-chance that the Mayan calendar's so-called "End of the World" deal is indeed true, I decided that this year's recap or resolution thingy should be a little different.

I started off this year with a feverish 40 degrees Celsius. That's not something you want to see after all the fireworks start scaring birds to death all over the world.

Then, I witnessed what the world witnessed. Japan got hit by a 3-in-1 disaster package. Earthquake, Tsunami and a potential nuclear meltdown. Many people died and it was definitely hard to watch as people died or disappeared. But then it was really encouraging to see the people of Japan so strong and united, swiftly recovering from the disaster.

I got myself a chance to write an article for the New Paper around this time. I was excited at first, but it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Trust me when I say that the articles that you read on your newspapers are extremely heavily edited. Sentences are changed or deleted altogether. In the end, I got myself an article full of quotation marks. Though it was a new and valuable experience, it was far from good. Not going to enter the news industry unless things change.

It was a nice to know that I was of the eligible age to vote during the year's elections. I mean, not many people get to vote for the General Elections exactly at 21 years of age, especially with all the walkovers and whatnot.
It was a fun but trying time for me. I had to struggle between expressing my views and not offending friends along the way. It was not long before I realized that those 2 are quite the mutually exclusive. I mean, if you want to express your views, you'll risk offend people (not to mention your friends). But if you want to keep your friends, you'd probably have to keep your mouth shut tight.
If I were to choose all over again, I know I would have chosen to express my views. Any friend who gets offended shouldn't be my friend in the first place.

After my exams, I had a brief period of solace, playing games at home all day. It was a time of bliss.
But too much of a good thing can be bad. I started to feel guilty for not getting a job during this holiday period. It took awhile, but I finally landed myself a job at the east.
The job itself was mundane, but what made it interesting was the friends I made there.
Throughout my life, I have always struggled to make new friends. Even more so during these past few years. The pain of people leaving your life is not easy to bear. But I learnt that by depriving myself of new friends, the pain of loneliness itself is even harder to bear.
I am glad that I have this new group of friends in my life that I can see in school!

I am definitely dismayed at the fact that so many dead bodies were discovered in the eastern reservoir and water tanks. Like I said earlier, it could very well be that the country is decaying. But what irks me the most is that people do not treasure life. It doesn't matter who you are, taking a life, even your own, is a terrible idea.

I learned a lot during the year as well. That includes Japanese Elementary 1 and how to play with Forex. The Forex was an opportunity not to be missed and it was a great learning experience. Though I lost much virtual reality money in the process.

Looking forward, I have another round of exams awaiting me. I'm intimidated by these upcoming exams, but that only means I have to work much harder.
And then after the exams, I just might attend Summer School in London. After hearing stories of Summer School and witnessing all my family going on holiday overseas, I can't wait to travel and see the world as well. Staying cooped up in this country looking at the computer screen all day is not going to do me any good.


All in all, Here are the lessons I'll be bringing with me to the next year. I guess you can call them resolutions in a way.

Stay Healthy
Live Life to its Fullest
Don't Trust the News
Express Yourself
Have the Courage to Make New Friends
Treasure Life
Grab Opportunities. Learn More
Study Hard
Travel if You Can

Here to wishing everyone out there a Happy New Year.

WevHez and the breakdowns

Doesn't this remind you of Men In Black?

From the Breaking of Windows to the Racist Comments, this end of year SMRT saga has been brought to the public's attention; and by attention, I don't mean the good popular kind of attention.

Let's face it. We as Singaporeans, do not mind that the train breaks down once in a blue moon. Sure, we will most definitely make some noise about it, but life goes on. But not 3 times in a row!
What irks us is the service (or lack thereof) provided when the breakdowns happened.
Half the time it was evidently apparent that the SMRT staff did not know what they were doing.
Everyone was afraid to do anything because they were waiting for the boss who was probably eating dinner at home.
And nobody seemed to take the initiative to do anything except send an "Income Opportunity" message to taxi drivers all around the country.
What made things worse was that the backup plan of shuttle buses didn't work. Heck, the buses got lost or even broke down as well.

What I am trying to say is that. They dare to call themselves a world class transport system and dare to show off to the world about it.
So riddle me this:
Would a world class transport system trap passengers on non-ventilated trains for more than 40 minutes?
Would a world class transport system not be able to understand and speak English?
Would a world class transport system call the guy who broke the MRT window a vandal?
Would a world class transport system start the transport system 1 hour later than the promised time?
Would a world class transport system have shuttle buses that arrive late as well?

SMRT, while I applaud your hard work over the past few days on swiftly restoring the train network, it is most definitely going to take more than a few cable ties to reassure the public that a breakdown of such a scale will not happen again.

Technicalities aside, I wish to say that despite the series of FAIL that SMRT has shown to the whole country, blaming the CEO of the company is not the way to go.
It's not as if the CEO had anything to do with the maintenance department.
All she does is sit on a sedan carried by macho men and review figures from reports. So why are people calling for her to resign?
Are people jealous of her pay? Why are people talking so much about her pay? That is so far from the topic at hand.
Look, the trains broke down due to technical faults, not because she has an extremely high salary. Getting the CEO to resign for a maintenance fault is like firing the security officer because the office is not clean.

Thankfully, the dust has settled, unless of course the trains start breaking down again. For now, I believe that Singaporeans should move on from this, but never forget it. At least not until the next GE.

WevHez and the Muppets

Hey guys! It's me WevHez. This time I'm going to talk about the Muppets.
A new Muppets movie is coming to town soon! The movie is called... Surprise Surprise. "The Muppets"
I'm so excited for this movie! It's been such a long while since the muppets made a new movie.

Aaaand they're back!!!

This is the Synopsis for the movie:
On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world's biggest Muppet fan, his brother Gary (Jason Segel) and Gary’s girlfriend Mary (Amy Adams) from Smalltown, USA, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theater and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets' former stomping grounds. To stage a telethon and raise the $10 million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate. With secret, signature, celebrity cameos, Disney’s “The Muppets” hits the big screen Dec. 8, 2011.

I've been watching the muppets ever since I was young. My most memorable movie was the one that was always on tv during Christmas: The Muppet Christmas Carol.
I love the muppets! Their ability to be hilarious even when being serious is so surreal.
But my favorite muppet has definitely got to be Beaker.

Meep Meep Meep Meep?

Yes beaker, you're my favorite!
Wondering why? It's quite simple actually! Just watch the following videos.


And if you thought that was cute, watch this one!

The muppets invaded the WWE universe! And look how cute Beaker is with Sheamus!

The best thing about Beaker is that he doesn't need to say a word in order to be hilarious!
And somehow, you can still make out what Beaker is trying to say from all those "Meep"s.
Oh, and Beaker's tendency towards misfortune is always a good way to cheer yourself up.
I'm not going to lie. I'm definitely watching this upcoming movie, mainly for Beaker.
Of course, I'm also watching for Kermit and Miss Piggy and Jason Segel.

Yes, you heard right. Jason Segel, otherwise more popularly known as Marshal Erikson of the How I Met Your Mother Television series. His ability to draw laughs is impeccable.
So be sure to catch the upcoming Muppets Show!
Here's the Trailer.

WevHez is back

Hey people!
Sorry for the long hiatus. I've been... er.... otherwise occupied by this thing called life. (Which have sort of sucked recently)
But don't get me wrong. Blogging is also an important part of my life. Otherwise, I won't even be doing it in the first place.

It occurs to me that the Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blogging Awards are now under way. (Sort-of)
So do take some time to vote for your favourite blogs on the left sidebar!

A lot of things happened while I was away. I don't think I want to list them all here now.
Just a few snippets.

This is me, flying in Gotham City.

I started on this MMORPG called DCUO
It's the DC Universe Online, which recently went Free-to-Play.
It's quite fun to play, especially when I'm such a hardcore DC Universe fan. Fighting alongside the Justice League heroes like Batman and Superman is like a dream come true. (So is flying around Gotham City and Metropolis)
But I have to say: this game is easy to pick up, but hard to play.
The quests are not as easy as they seem. And sometimes, abit too unrealistic even for my tastes.
Nevertheless, the quest-based leveling system is a PLUS for me as it prevents players from hoarding training spots for grinding purposes.
I'm seriously considering upgrading my FREE status to Premium status though. A 1-time charge of USD$5 don't seem so expensive for the upgrade.

Another Game in the Queue: Amnesia (I don't seem to be studying at all huh.)
While I don't particularly own this game, watching videos of gameplay of this extremely terrifying game is enough to serve as entertainment for me. Especially when players scream like little girls when the monsters start chasing them. Sheer hilarity. Here's an example: (There may be explicit language)


Oh, and the Bedok Reservoir saga CONTINUES
I believe I have said it before. This dead-body-in-reservoir saga is a sign of the country slowly deteriorating because of the disease that is efficiently masked as "Foreign Talent"
Again, I understand why we need these people around, but I most certainly do not condone the fact that they are here contaminating the culture of our country.
So, when I heard that a body was discovered early in the morning just before the epic blessing session occurred, I couldn't help but laugh at the irony of it all.
I mean, it was almost as if the body appeared to jynx the blessing procedures.
I sincerely hope that the Reservoir will stop spewing dead bodies anymore. It's so not cool.

The Bus full of young *BLACK RECTANGLE*
Yeah. YPAP members sure know how to get into the spotlight. And the public media sure knows how to hush it down.
My take on all this? Arrest the YPAP member and sentence him to life imprisonment!
Now, I'm glad I'm not part of the government.

Right. I have to go back to my studying. But stay tuned. I'm going to post a Muppet-ful blog post soon enough!
