lorlilorsor.comthe awesome place where kang kang talks alot alot of nonsense.

life takes weird turns at times.

while i was still a puny ‘a’ level graduate working part-time as a car-washer, i had 2 bosses.

D: my supervisor
Y: the big boss

with the advent of technologies like the internet, i’ve actually managed to locate their profiles to have a peek at their lives after all these years.

i had to strain the brain abit to remember the old times though.

==

D treated me pretty well. lets me go off early if i want to, does the more difficult work himself instead of forcing me to learn.

when i last left, he promised that he will hire me to wash cars for him when he sets up his own company.

ah, an entrepreneur-minded man.

i was touched.

==

Y was a slave-master.

he’s never been menacingly mean but he speaks like an a**hole and seems to like to flaunt to me that he is a graduate of nus. omg, (so big deal, right?)

my last impression is that i had to go all the way to the main branch (far far away from the workplace) to bug him to give me my final paycheck.

he was actually adamant about giving it to me “some other day” but being a persistent and desperate puny car-washer, i was more adamant than he was and took a bus all the way down for my moolah.

when i reached there, he was like uber busy and had no time for non-essential nonsense like paychecks, so he ordered me to over-work for me one last time.

at the end of the exhausting day, i finally left the workplace at like 6+ (i think work was supposed to end at 5) paycheck in hand, proud that i managed to prise my symbol of victory off the hands of the slave-master.

he did thank me when i left, and reminded me warmly to remember to send my car to him for grooming in future.

it’s probably been 5 years since then.

==

looked up information about D: there seems to be someone fitting his description posting free ads on the internet advertising his services via broken english.

not a good sign..

Y is a tad bit low-profile given his business-y character but i’ve still managed to find out abit about him.

the business is still going on, but i saw a few negative testimonials for his services, several directly accusing him, the boss as a nasty person who doesn’t honor his promises.

==

i have an urge to re-connect with my old friends but 1) they wouldn’t remember me 2) i wouldn’t know what to talk to them about.

me is free thinker, so the parts about god’s healing touch etc kind of puzzles me.

anyway, these are powerful statistics which i personally know are mainly true, which just pisses me off to no end when i hear people complaining non-stop about the government.

• If you woke up this morning with more health than illness
  You are more blessed than the million who won’t survive this week.
• If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, the pangs of starvation,
  You are ahead of 20 million people around the world.
• If you attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death
  You are more blessed than almost three billion people in the world.
• If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep
  You are richer than 75% of this world’s peoples.
• If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change on a dish some place,
  You are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.
• If you parents are still married and alive
  You are very rare… especially in the United States.
• If you hold your head up with a smile on your face and are truly thankful,
  You are blessed because the majority can but most do not.

• You are so blessed in so many ways you may never even know…
  May God continue to bless you now, forever and always.

if you pump your petrol at SPC i highly recommend u go for the $3 car wash at least once in your lifetime.

2 reasons:

1) they wash with soap and super high-powered water hose so your car gets really clean.

2) very shiok, you get to sit inside the car when they shoot water onto your car.

the chemist thinks it’s more fun than a ride in an amusement park, and costs only $3!

so i’ve been beyond busy.

i’ve probably been trying to do too many things at once, but my ailed body is telling me it’s time to work on only da most important stuff for now and say no to the rest!

and i’m hating myself again for not writing about the u.s. trip.

and man, that was last august.

mr sua ku goes to the united states of america, if still don’t write i will slowly forget everything, then how?!

ok baby, here we go..

it’s time to reclaim my social life.

i just looked at my old blogroll and see that i haven’t seen some of my friends in ages.

some of their blogs have even gone missing.

i haven’t played bball with the worlds’ saddest team in like more than a year.

rav4 has now officially been renamed as per typical “naming conventions” on lorlilorsor.com.

from now on, rav4’s new nickname is the chemist.

anyhoo, the chemist has decided not to be a chemist.

she did try applying for a few conventional jobs, but they seem to be anal about what your cap score is.

it is infuriating.

the chemist is like 0.01 or something away from second upper.

that has affected her employability alot.

but humor me if you will.

wtf is the difference between a second upper and a second lower, if the difference is like 0.01??

really.

it’s one thing to discriminate against an engineer like me with a ****ed-up cap of like two point something.

it is a completely different thing to judge a chemist’s ability based on a stupid 0.01 speck of a cap score.

and i repeat the question..

wtf is the difference between a second upper and a second lower, if the difference is like 0.01??

i simply do not understand.

but it might be a blessing in disguise.

the chemist has decided to help her father out with his business.

way to go!

sure, tongues will wag and people will say “honors degree go sell furniture”?!

yeah, to heck with them, it’s our lives.

reasons why i have stopped posting on lorlilorsor.com for so long.

1) laziness.

2) i have a journal which i write in on a very consistent basis.

i figured the business-y aspects of that journal will turn you off so i write those posts in there.

3) i am officially self-employed. my company name is Kaizen Digital Media.

i have been working on the business since year 3.

which explains why i have been so anti-social and unhappening for a good part of uni life.

unfortunately, contrary to the popular belief that entrepreneurship makes you rich beyond your wildest dreams, kang kang is still a poor man.

i know you probably visited my website and are still scratching your head wondering wtf my business is all about.

that’s okay.

that’s the reason why i’ve never really blogged about it on lorlilorsor before.

common responses when i tell folks about my business:

“oh. you scam people ah?”

“omg, porn?! never share?”

or the more common one.

“oh. hmm.. i see.”

2 reasons for the above. one, they dunno wtf i’m talking about. two, they think i’m in some sort of mlm.

fortunately, it’s none of the above; all you gotta know is this.

i’m in the search engine marketing business and basically i help other businesses get more business using the internet. i also build my own website and sell stuff on them. sometimes, i also sell these websites.

“got people buy meh?”

got. of course got. just gotta know where to look, and what to build.

things have been okay so far, with me working at home or sometimes out of my papa’s office.

i’m also helping papa out with his car business a little so if you want to buy a car just drop me an sms i’ll see if i can help you out.

so that sums it up.

lorlilorsor is where i’ll be writing stupid nonsense without capital letters at the start of first letters, so not much more of this business nonsense.

4) i was too concerned about what you guys think of what i write. and then i had a revelation.

i have always been of the opinion that blogs are meant for people to read.

i find it funny how some people can honestly say they write for personal purposes.

that’s what personal journals and diaries are for, ya know?

so anyway, i kind of fell into another trap; i had quite a few people reading lorlilorsor in the past.

general comments were that it was funny and entertaining.

which is awesome because i like writing.

yeah i know engineers aren’t supposed to like writing but i never claimed to be an excellent engineer.

so whatever.

but once in awhile i get comments like “sometimes i dunno what you saying” because once in awhile i blog about business-y stuff and cheem cheem stuff.

so i will become like.. oh, okay.

i will blog more interestingly in future.

gradually i started to scrutinize myself too much.

until i stumbled upon an awesome blog which i enjoyed reading alot.

it was deep.

resonated with me.

interesting and fun, just as i like it.

the weird thing was..

there are no comments!

post after post, there are no comments.

still, the writer continues blogging about whatever he likes with gusto.

and then i had my revelation.

who the star cares about what other people think about your posts?!

granted, blogs are made for people to read.

but when you pick up your cyber-pen and start writing, thou art thyself.

if you write with the intention of pleasing and entertaining, you are setting yourself up for pain and torment.

so yup.

since i had the revelation, i have been more liberal with what i have been writing.

let the critiques be damned!

hello.

lorlilorsor.com has its first spam comment.

here is what it looks like.

i thought i’ll make this an educational blog post by describing why spam exists, and at the same time expose to the world what in the world i have been doing, staying “jobless” after having graduated for 4 months.

well basically in the comment above, the bugger is trying to promote his little page on his free friendster blog by spamming my poor little lorlilorsor.

while nobody is really going to click on an obviously spammy link like that, a link is still a link, and a link makes the search engines deem that page important.

this might seem incredibly nonsensical and unworthy of the effort to the naked eye, but spammers create thousands of email addresses and spam thousands of blogs on autopilot (hence the weird email addresses) which will result in a substantial number of backlinks getting approved.

so when you actually get onto the page that he’s promoting and buy what’s on the page (some variation of viagra i think) he gets paid.

the probability of that happening is super duper small but when something like this happens thousands and thousands of times, it becomes a numbers game and someone is bound to buy.

makes sense?

end of lesson.

up next: wtf kang kang has been up to and why he has been missing in action for so long

if you’ve known me for any length of time you know i have this disdain for authority.

i just read this very well-articulated write-up about something that happened to this poor bloke.

we should really be thankful for the kind of environment we’re living in.

it’s been awhile since i graduated and stepped into the real world.

health-care, taxes, government, police, whatever.

if you hate the singapore government, think about why you hate’em.

and think again.
