Avoid at ALL cost!

I think for the past erm... 1year plus, it was rather apparent that I have a strong ability to, like a magnet, attract messed up and complicated people into my life? Like I'm one of those Heroes people with abilities? Ok no I exaggerated on that, I guess it just so happen that you know, people whom I've come across and have met (somehow) all have emotional baggages with them? It's funny yet depressing. Well I was talking to one of my friend that now I've become like some sort of listener because all this while, I have listened to God knows how many of the ladies telling me about trouble with the exes? All of them are like pretty much the same, I'm sure I could just type one set and then the format would all be the same? Hur. And the funny thing was, for a few of them I remember telling myself that this girl could be it but I somehow helped more and as a result forgot about the initial and supposed dating plans that I have thought of lol. Not that it was bad, not that I'm complaining because I strongly feel that what I've gained now is definitely more worthwhile. Oh ya disclaimer, I'm not saying it's a mutual feeling with the ladies, that I wouldn't know but I guess obviously not. It was all on my part but that was how I felt, at the very least. Michelle said that I shouldn't make messed up people as potential targets, ya duh I know that but how was I to know from the start. Girls, put post it on your head please, so that us boys would know, thank you very much. Anyhow, all of these made me remember something. Something I've heard from a certain someone say around 2 years ago? Jen used to tell me to stay away from messed up people. Of course I did not listen to her.

So now here I am, being very free, was able to come out with this chunk of I would say nothingness because at the end of the day, I don't think it changes anything in my life so as my supervisor in the police force would always say, Life goes on..... Truly boss, truly.

And sidetrack, I wanna have hair like Jim Sturgess in Across the Universe, woot! Sibei inspired... Soonest..

You have found her now go and get her
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better"

I have served my term

I remembered the anxiety on 14th March 2 years ago, the uncertainty of enlisting. The typical sian-ness every guy feels when they know that they are about to contribute their 2 years, some 1 year 10 months to the nation. The bald period. And then plus the fact that everyone around me went into the army, I do not know what to expect. I used to hear people telling me it's good that I've gotten police, things like "very slack!" was a common thing to hear from them. Now that I've been through it, without a doubt, the physical training comparing to the army dudes is definitely less taxing. But I'd say handling the public was really a chore, no offence public! (lol)

Time flew faster than Nathan Petrelli but nope, it sure doesn't feel like it was just yesterday. Why do people use that kind of term anyway? It's just me I guess, I'm there. Ha. So yes, I'm clearing leave now and I will soon officially regain my freedom and status as a member of public some time mid next month.

I... AM.... SCARED.

I think this time, I'll be facing a bigger uncertainty and it's like woah no more escaping! Gonna be harder to maintain. Nevertheless, a happy boy still! Freedom!
Part and parcel of life...

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a starter home. Choose dental insurance, leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose your future. But why would anyone want to do a thing like that?

- Trainspotting

Oh well.. I'll really need a job by then, or if not then freelance jobs, do come in ok? Mervyn needs the moolahs. Bangkok in May, please do not let any thing clash with this holiday plan, because we all need to get out of this little island and have our holiday! ERP is killing us all! LOL

Bosozoku!



I've recently completed the book Yakuza Moon(reviewed by some chap) by Shoko Tendo and I really enjoyed the book. The book kinda got me all interested in the cultures of 'Yanki' (or simply young punks in japanese term I think?) I've decided to make a search on it and I found so many other interesting stuff along with it.

One of them being the motorcycle gangs and their culture and they actually have a proper term for it, aka BOSOZOKU! It's really cool that they have such strong culture, even on motorcycles groups/gangs and the type of clothings to go with the look (kamikaze suits with embroideries, damn cool). Oh and look at how they've all modified their rides, kamikaze balls!

I've gotten this from wikipedia..

Bōsōzoku (暴走族, Bōsōzoku? "violent running tribe") is a Japanese subculture associated with motorcycle clubs and gangs and sometimes also with car clubs like the one called Yankee which in Japanese means punk. The word bōsōzoku is often applied to these gangs, mainly comprised of young men who share an interest in modifications (often illegal) for cars and motorcycles, such as removing the mufflers so that more noise is produced. Bōsōzoku also engage in dangerous or reckless driving, such as weaving in traffic, not wearing motorcycle helmets, and running red lights. Japanese police call them Maru-So (police code マル走). Another activity is shinai bōsō (市内暴走) speeding in city streets, not usually for street racing but more for thrills. With many cars (or bikes) involved, the leading one is driven by the sentōsha (先頭車), the leader, who is responsible for the event and is not allowed to be overtaken. Others keep a lookout for side and rear cars/bikes. Although they do race, some groups prefer to simply bōsō, or violently run. They modify their exhaust systems to be extra loud and drive through suburbs at speeds of 5–10 miles an hour, waving imperial Japanese flags and shouting obscenities, occasionally throwing Molotov cocktails and carrying swords/spears, daring bystanders to challenge them. Bōsōzoku members tend to be perceived as criminals and misfits, and were first seen in the 1950s as the Japanese automobile industry expanded rapidly. The first bōsōzoku were known as kaminari-zoku (雷族 "Lightning Tribes"). There are bōsōzoku clubs throughout Japan, including female bike gangs (レディース "ladies"), identified by their stylish fashion and customised motorcycles. Members take part in mass rallies and have had gang wars amongst themselves. As a fashion and youth subculture, bōsōzoku are subject to increasing state and police pressure.

Here's the link to the wiki site anyway if any of you may want to check the whole thing out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosozoku

There's this movie called Kamikaze Girls and it's about a girl who's into Lolita and another girl being a Yanki. Not bad at all. It was actually released quite awhile ago, perhaps 2004? But since I've only found out about this whole Yanki culture like recently, pardon the slowness yo..

Ok that's all for now, I can't believe I'm actually blogging from my station lol. Good night or good morning, whatever.
