Yes

NO!!!

No
24. Have you made a wish that came true?
Well . . . doing well for my qualification examinations . . .
25. What would you do if the girl or boy that you like doesn't like you?
Too bad, just walk away and then fall into a depression.
26. What would you do if somebody was about to steal your car?
It's now possible to activate the car alarm from your remote control key. So just press the button, sound the alarm and frighten the thief. If the bugger continues to pry open the door, or even attempt to drive off, men, don't put your BCCT lessons in the army to shame. Hit him on the head and make sure he concusses before you report him to security.
27. What would you do if you woke up with a billion spiders crawling all over you and your bed?
Hello, if there's a billion spiders, with different species, the Black Widow would probably count among them, besides the other poisonous spiders, including the one which paralysed Gordon in "Anaconda 2". That means, I won't even wake up and I won't even have to bother about "oh no, what should I do? There's a billion spiders on my bed . . . AIYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
28. What would you do if you farted while giving a persuasive speech in class?
Shout "Engineers!" Remember to shout, or the audience will hoot you because you emitted a lethal dosage of poison gas without warning them.
29. What would you do if the person you like farted in front of you?
If the person doesn't shout "Engineers", then I'll do the shouting.
30. What would you do if you had three wishes?
(1) Make myself ROD
(2) Produce a successful musical
(3) Be able to compose full-time thanks to a state pension by the government IN SINGAPORE. (Remember that Sibelius got a pension? But that's Finland. The PAP will probably tell you to fuck off and go and draw money from your CPF.)
31. What if the government allowed you to choose one thing to be made illegal and one thing to be legalised?
ILLEGAL to bring in cigarettes at all to Singapore - the penalty is DEATH, I don't care whether you bring it in through the proper channels or you try to smuggle in. No more cigarettes, no more smoking! And yes, eradicate those tobacco cigars and pipes as well.
LEGALISE graffiti - at selected spots for talented graffiti artists to showcase their stuff. Of course, if they don't paint at the designated points but elsewhere then they're considered having broken the law.
32. What if Britney Spears was at your front door?
I would start berating her: "BLOODY HELL! CALL YOURSELF A SINGER! SING STUPID SONGS, ONLY BARING YOUR BREASTS AND BUTTOCKS TO ATTRACT DIRTY OLD MEN. YOU CALL THIS MAKING MUSIC? FUCK YOU! THIS IS MAKING HORNY MEN SIT UP! AND YOU'RE A DISGRACE TO SOCIETY: HOW CAN YOU MARRY A MAN LIKE A ONE-NIGHT STAND AND DITCH HIM THE NEXT DAY, JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE DRUNK IN LAS VEGAS? WHY? SUPERSTAR THEN BIG FUCK IS IT? I CAN TELL YOU, YOUR PERFORMANCE IS FUCKED UP. UNDERSTAND? FUCKED UP!"
33. What if you had a time machine?
Re-visit those scenes I have studied in History and Music and visualised in my head, but never seen them or touched them for real.
34. Would you find a cure for cancer or the cure for AIDS?
Both, although I won't give the cure to those people who got AIDS because of one-night stands
35. Would you have the power to fly, or the power to teleport?
Teleport, it's faster.
36. Would you have the power to see the future, or the power to record your dreams?
Power to see the future, because by blogging I'm recording my dreams, or my past events
37. Would you become really skinny, or really fat?
Really skinny; I hate seeing that belly bulge out in front of me like some old man's.
38. Would you be stuck in a forest or a box?
A box, because I'm claustrophobic, especially after the BRONCO incident
39. Would you be in a drama movie, or a comedy?
Comedy, because I get a kick out of making a fool of myself
40. Would you have your birthday on Christmas Day, or on February 29th?
Christmas; 29 February is too rare.
41. Would you live in the South or North Pole?
No preference.
42. Would you be on a plane or a train?
Train - there are more things to see
43. Would you snow board or hang glide?
Neither. I'm contented staying at home.
44. Would you be a ninja or a pirate?
Pirate, because you can make lots of money as people don't like to buy original VCDs and DVDs. Anyway, to qualify as a ninja you need TOUGH TRAINING! No way!
45. Would your dream guy/gal be a musician or athlete?
Musician!!!
46. Would your dream guy/gal be muscular or slim?
No preference.
47. Would your dream guy/gal be romantic or humorous?
Please cut out the romantic stuff - it's so mushy and it probably doesn't last because it becomes a tat too irritating.
48. Would your dream guy/gal bring you flowers or chocolates?
Just happiness is sufficient. I'm not that materialistic.
49. Would your dream guy/gal date you with a candlelight dinner or a trip to the amusement park?
Can we make a trip to watch a concert or a musical?
