砂漠のJeffire

Jeffirean Stories

Wednesday, September 14, 2005

First thing Jeffire needs to report is that he hasn't been missing in action. It's just that his life online starts with the moment he is in the office and ends with the moment he's getting out of office. The PC at home has yet to be repaired. He is not sure whether he can coerce his father to buy him a laptop for use in school and home.

Well, in all, Jeffire thinks that this world is really 'no money no talk'. Rather than to kpkb about being poor, he knows that working his way up is the only way to go. Soon he will start to acquire assets and then hopefully this assets are revenue generating so that passive income will flow in. Jeffire will then work less and go to school more often... (yah right).

Anyway the week has been pretty horrendous as outflow of vitamin M (stealing Ms F^Jinx's terminalogy) was huge. Bought a present for Mother and then her sister as we had a siblings' birthday celebration last Saturday (Jeffire's eldest aunt (Aunt Angie), mother(Mrs Catherine Yeo), and their brother a.k.a Jeffire's uncle (Uncle Albert)) Jeffire bought a stylo-milo Emporio Armani shades for Aunt Angie (actually was instructed by mother to buy a present around the $100 range) and then a Sovil Titus watch for mother. Two swipes of his Visa Mini and there goes quite a lot of money. Although mother offered to share the present for Aunt Angie, but Jeffire declined. Apart from Saturday, the huge expenditure went to some textbook acquisition ($37+ for two), stationery ($18) and other stuff like food, presents for colleague and toiletries.

Hopefully the closing of Winning-with-Jeffire does help to earn some cash back as jeffire re-opened the punt account for this month at $100. Took some $75 out to invest on Saturday's matches and was spot-on for the Boro-Arsenal match. Now Jeffire's guess is that NONE of you bought Boro to win. Hahaha. Anyway the next day there was some losses so although overall the punt account is in the black, the double-digit didn't compensate for the triple-digit outflow for the presents...Oh by the way, Jeffire closed the shop of Winning-with-Jeffire as he realised that no point giving people wrong information (wahaha). Well, his strategy is investment oriented and not gambling so it really doesn't sell to the masses who are speculators and gamblers.

Recently Singapore has been besieged with dengue attacks. Oh my. The number of people reporting to the hospitals are alarming. Hopefully everyone will work together and deal with the irritating mosquitoes. A good thing is that we have learnt to respond quickly when it comes to big problems like this so everyone will be checking on their homes frequently to ensure they don't keep mosquitoes as pets. And well, Jeffire lives in a high-hit area (Yishun) so please help to pray for his safety (Jeffire is reaching a 4 yr no MC record... yeah). Jeffire will also pray for you guys too by burning more joss sticks on your behalf (in a bid to fend off mosquitoes from his home..hehe)

You can see that on the sidebars Jeffire puts "Looking at good-looking people" as one of his preferred activities. Certainly EVERYONE looks at good looking people, but do we actually look at bad-looking people as well. YES, I say. Bad-looking people are like sore thumbs sticking out. And by the way, bad looking people are not really bad looking as in they have crooked teeth or extremely big mouths or what. Rather, they are people who simply have no dress sense, or who had never thought of going for some aesthetical improvement like moderate eating and exercising (you get me?)

The first kind of people are either lazy, or unequipped with the know-how to look good. In fact I always maintained that most of the people I see outside look good, and comparing to 10years ago, I say we have this proportion of people on a surge. There are many many guys with better skin now (Jeffire is very jealous of that), more striking outfits and attractive hairstyles. Girls dress up with more variety(yum~), and are much attractive to look at than before. This observation is backed by rise in sales of cosmetics, skincare, and beauty centres. So in fact this little group of people are most likely people who don't bother much about how they look. Jeffire thinks looking good can be cheap also. Wooo...(some self-praise coming in) Jeffire's quite good at cheap dressing (especially since Jeffire looks as ugly as usual EVEN after expensive dressing, lol~that's some self-criticisim to balance out)

The second group of people are people who certainly need to be reminded that the society doesn't like looking at big mobile stores of fat. Okie you call Jeffire discriminating, but tell him what is the most oft reason people become fat? Big eating, small exercise. Your big eating stimulates demand for good, and causes prices to go up (since we mostly import our food, so supply is never controllable). Secondly, big eating equals to less food going to the people who need it. If you don't need that much food, Jeffire is quite sure the food will go somewhere that will be much more productive. Thirdly, bingeing wastes plenty of other resources. There are tons of examples of that. So please leave Jeffire out of buffets... (last Saturday's at Miramar was absolutely treacherous and feels sinful..eeww but someone else was paying, so just go lor...)

The other part regarding inadequate exercising is actually easily solvable. Burning of fat stores requires your heart running at above 70% of its maximum power for 20mins continuously. It is easy to reach 70%. Just simple quick paced walking will do. How do we make it 20mins continously since we don't have time? One suggestion is to budget your time for 1 hour of such time for each week. It could come on Monday evening when you try your best to go home earlier to clear your Monday blues, Wednesday afternoon when you perhaps can drink your lunch after your work (ie don't eat a meal for lunch) and Sunday morning before you go for breakfast. Of course if you can take time out to go for a morning walk everyday it will be better... Jeffire will do that once he moves to Punggol, a much more scenic place to walk around..

Oh man, Jeffire wrote so much for this particular group of people. You see, Jeffire likes to make people feel good, and feel good for what they have ACHIEVED. Jeffire thinks that there should be much more good looking people on the street so that he can enjoy his hobby more...hehe.

Finally, to reveal a little naughty bit of Jeffire, he says he likes girls in tennis skirts. Woo. And one word for the guys, you are good looking if you have good skin, either very fair or tanned and have less hair... (that's Jeffire's idea of good looking guys.. no offence to hairy chaps...)

If you have an EBay account please tell Jeffire because he wants to bid for a Snorlex toy overseas for himself. This is Snorlex. Snorlex says he wants to hug me!! Jeffire wants a hug~~~(but no bearhug please!)

Cute right?

Actually Jeffire wants a Snorlex, a hug and a Maria Sharapova poster.... (or even better, a hug from Maria Sharapova without Snorlex also can...lol!)

Dreaming of Maria Sharapova..
