Da Vinci & The ITP survival kit

So it has been. I have been stagnant in my posting, and so has it been in my life. Just taking a step as it comes. And so it has been, at this stage of my life, I have been assigned for this fateful hols, to a company.

CHEVON INTERNATIONAL PTE LTD.

I hope u gather that I am not so happy with the above statement. If you cant I have nothing more to say. Read On.

Reason number 1. The linear distance from my house to the company is more then friggin 25 killometres. Do the maths yourself.

Reason number 2. It takes a combination of bus and mrt, $97 of consession, 1h45mins of travelling time.

Reason number 3. And it the same for me to get back.

Reason number 4. And worst of all, its not even a aircraft related company!

Reason number 5. All men in the company with the exception of 2 mature ladies who are well beyond my age, I should have converted to hermosexual.

Reason number 6. I have only one fellow sp, which by no coincedence is from sp, lives in yishun, and has failed terribly trying to impress me with his fly killing abilities trying to slap a fly with my topshop bag underneath. Get the irony>>>


So anyway I'm doomed this holidays. And therefore I have come up with a itp survival package. At least it survived me for one day.

1-WAter
2-Storybook that can make u think
3-YOur pair of eyes to spot that hunk or cute girl at the corner of your eyes. 1 a day makes your itp go away.


THE DA VINCI CODE - DAN BROWN

GUys n Gals, this is a must read book. IF you havnt read it is a book worth purchasing for, and if have read it and say I'm slow then screw you.

Anywayz thanks to the front page gal on straits times a while back for spawning the interest in me to read, and to my sis who has the book. God I'm slow.

I've read this book, and at an alarming pace that I left a dozen or more page for the rest of itp. Damn. Only started this morning on the train! ( Its 489 pages and if you havnt figure it out there was nothing to do today at the company)

After reading the book, though the story is friction, it has strengthed my views and thoughts on religion as a whole, as well as the all important christinanity. Pardon if I got it wrong. From here on, I'll pick short paragraphs from the book and reflect and discuss on them. Hmz, suddenly I feel I'm older by 2.

Langdon chuckled, not about to take the bait. From what he'd heard about Harvard parties, these kids where having more then enough sex. "Gentlemen," he said, knowing he was on tender ground, "might I offer a suggestion for all of you. Without being so bold to condone premarital sex, and without being so naive as to think you're all chaste anges, I will give you this bit of advice on your sex lives."

All the men in the audience learned forward, listening intently.

"Next time you find yourself with a women, look into her heart and see if you cannot approach sex as a mystical, spiritual act. Challenge youself to find the spark of divinity that man can only achieve through union with the scared feminine."

The women smiled knowingly, nodding.
The men exchanged dubious giggles and off-color jokes.
Langdon sighed. College men were still boys.

Ok my job is done for tonight, and I'm off to repeat the cycle that has been set in motion, undeniable for the next 6wks.

Last word, after reading that, I guess I'm still a young man indeed.
