rav4

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.

where the star i have been

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!

first spam comment

hello.

lorlilorsor.com has its first spam comment.

here is what it looks like.

spam 

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

authorities

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.

dust in the brains.

hello lorlilorsor.

long time no see.

so what wind blows me here?

rav4 keeps telling me i should blog.. must blog.

but i say no hweeling.

today, i got hweeling.

and usually, me gets hweeling when i see people who piss me off.

so thank you mr dust in the brains.

so i was sitting by the poolside chilling, reading and eating chocolate rolls.

suddenly the security guard went to the pool and wanted to verify if some of the folks swimming in the pool were residents.

(ooooooh, the folks he questioned includes a couple of very hot russian chicks..)

i thought wtf, simi tai ji, this guard so buaya?

until i realized he was instructed by this other resident who apparently complained to him about not signing in or something.

if i were in a rational and clear mind i would have thought he was being thoughtful and was concerned that these folks from overseas could bring in h1n1 or something..

budden apparently the point he kept stressing was that “they aren’t residents”.

got need to be soooo gei gao anot??

he can recognize all the residents meh?! i bet he’s never even see me before.

and then again, so what if they really weren’t residents??

swim only, the swimming pool water will evaporate by half ah?

he trying to exert his authority and power meh?

probably some guy in the management committee..

MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE…

my hatred for management and committees re-ignites..

committee liao bu qi huh?!

eat full full sit by poolside complain about nonsensical things..

make the security guard like so paiseh, have to go and make them come out of the pool to sign in..

poor security guard..

these committee people really very the cartoon..

is it just me, or does someone else think it is an uber elitist and anti-social thing to do sia.

pui.

approaching the end of life as a student

and yes, the flooble chatterbox has finally died.

i’ve managed to stay inactive enough to not realize that it was dyING.
i shall revive it when i decide to post more actively :)
final fyp presentation just ended last monday!
i basically told everyone that i was a FREE MAN and i would be damn free from then on and i will steal all the duties in the entire world so i was kind of sad when i kind of thought about it and realized i still have..
1) 2 x exams in 2 weeks’ time
2) fyp bounded thesis to submit
3) a job to find
4) my current work
5) 1 x term paper due tomorrow
actually i’m not that free yet afterall geez.
oh well, free-ER i guess.
i have finally started winning some $$ in mahjong! the curse of the tai sui on us dirty mice must finally be over.
after exams end on 2nd may, i’m unofficially no longer a student anymore.
zzz…
rav4 is having HER final fyp presentation now.
i am hanging around near the room waiting for her to come out.
she is such a poor thing.
she is dressed in formal and high heels and so unlike her formal self.
she is so nervous.
her presentation started at 10:55 – 3 minutes ago, and her kena-shoot a.k.a q & a session starts 11:15.
and then it will all be over.
these days as stupid students sux big time, but i’m sure gonna miss school after i graduate!
yea, i probably won’t miss the modules etc, but there’s still quite abit of good stuff we could think about.
amitabha to rav4!
