I suppose if I had two x chromosomes, I’d feel hostile too.



"Nothing"

[Verse 1]
Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I'm better off now
Than I ever was with her
As they take me to my local down the street
I'm smiling but I'm dying trying not to drag my feet

They say a few drinks will help me to forget her
But after one too many I know that I'm never
Only they can’t see where this is gonna end
They all think I'm crazy but to me it's perfect sense

[Chorus]
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over the town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind turn it all around

And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the words
And she'll listen this time even though they’re slurred
Dialed her number and confessed to her
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing

[Verse 2]
So I stumble there, along the railings and the fences
I know if I faced her face, that she'll come to her senses
Every drunk step I take leads me to her door
If she sees how much I'm hurting, she'll take me back for sure

[Chorus]
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over the town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind turn it all around

And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the words
And she'll listen this time even though they’re slurred
Dialed her number and confessed to her
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing

She said nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing
Oh, I got nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing

Ohh, sometimes love's intoxicating
Ohh, you're coming down, your hands are shaking
When you realize there's no one waiting

Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I'm better off now
Than I ever was with her

[Chorus]
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over the town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind turn it all around

And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the words
And she'll listen this time even though they’re slurred
Dialed her number and confessed to her
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing

She said nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing
I got nothing
I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Ohh I got nothing

I got nothing [x3]

"You can’t ADD things and come out with LESS than you started with!" "I can do that! It’s a free country! I’ve got my rights!"

You know the usual question of "How's work?" or "Do you like/love your job?"

Well, there's a reply which goes, "It's 60-40." Meaning that you love your job 60% of the time, and hate it 40% of the time. In other words,

60/100 = 6/10 = 3/5 = Love Work
40/100 = 4/10 = 2/5 = Hate Work

To simplify it even further, we can also say
60% = 3/5 ≈ 66% = 2/3 = Love Work
40% = 2/5 ≈ 33% = 1/3 = Hate Work

This means that out of 3 days in work, you hate 1 day. Out of a month of 30 days, you will hate your work on 10 days. That doesn't sound so bad.

Now. Consider this. If you're a female, you will have to take into account the effects of your menstrual period. That will probably ruin your day and you will hate your work during that time.

If you're male, you will have to take into account the behavior of your female colleagues or female bosses during their menstrual period. They will probably take out their irritation / anger / discomfort on you. That will probably ruin your day and you will hate your work during that time.

And a woman's menstrual period and effects lasts for typically a week or seven days in a month.

Which also means that the number of days which you hate your work is as follows:
10 + 7 = 17 days in a month = Hate Work

In other words,
17/30 = 57% = Hate Work
13/30 = 43% = Love Work

Therefore, in reality, you hate your work more than half the time.

So. Do you really love your work?

I like maxims that don’t encourage behaviour modification.

I know this song is very old. But after being indoctrinate by her in Chinese songs, i find this melody absolutely enchanting.

Chinatown is South? Any lobang for helicopter?

My Reply:
Hi all,

As for parking spaces, there isn't any multi-storey carpack nearby. You guys can park along the small roads. As long as you don't obstruct the driveways of other houses, its ok.

As for helicopter lobang, you can call 1800-CARELESS-AIRWAYS. Please contact BC for any helicopter parking spaces.

Got parachute? Pilot included? How to go home?

My Reply:
Pilot is considered as add-on services, so there will be extra charges. Parachute not included. But since you live in the South, i presume you can afford it. Please contact your chauffeur when you want to go home.
