There is nothing you can say in answer to a compliment. I have been complimented myself a great many times, and they always embarrass me as I always feel that they have not said enough. If you hear that someone is speaking ill of you, instead of trying to defend yourself you should say: "He obviously does not know me very well, since there are so many other faults he could have mentioned". So long as they don't get violent, I want to let everyone say what they wish, for I myself have always said exactly what pleased me.

You know how much I hate to wish that something really bad happen to anyone (though at times I have expressed my desire to have someone I truly hate suffer in death thanks to a speeding bullet train). But I think I have no excuse to pray that the author of this idiotic post have anything good for him or her.This guy is a real muppet. I couldn't care to dig up his background …
It's been almost 30 years now. A basic education, a marriage and a HDB flat later, I question myself what's ahead of me now. In an ideal world, the list shall include a car, 3 kids, a bigger flat, a promising career, at least one good holiday every year and a comfortable lifestyle for my family and I. Well that is if living here was anywhere close to ideal. However, as we are …
I chuckled to myself early today as I flipped to the 2nd page of The New Paper on the way to the office. With a huge front cover image of a poor girl in China reportedly needing to have her legs cut off to free her from being trapped amongst the rubble after the quake, I was anticipating the story as I flipped only to be surprised by a stupid article highlighting an even more …
You can go around the blogsphere and I assure you that amongst the local bloggers, quite a handful are authors of blogs that highlight the difficult issues and the miserable plight of Singaporeans. They rant on the rising in costs, petrol, taxes and increasing ERP gantries. They rave on the harsh pace of working life, the low salary and the poor treatment they received a …
I read with disgust today's article in The New Paper, on the fate of the PRC student from NTU who is down with leukaemia. Not disgust at his condition, in fact I can't help but feel for him as I don't think contracting serious illnesses at such a young age is a fun feat. You can't help but feel sorry for him. What disgust me was the reaction some people had over a donation …

And now, the end is here
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and ev'ry …
I am one big fan of music. Other than those heavy metal ones where I can hardly make out the lyrics, most of the other genres can easily make me jump up and get jiggy with it. Of course I do have my favourites - hip-hop, ballads, evergreen hits - in no particular order. Lately though my taste for music took an unlikely twist leaving the missus a tad bit worried. Oh well.You …
This weekend will be particularly busy for the missus and I. Let's see now. We have 3 weddings to attend in total and trust me when I say this, we are not the typical couple who likes travelling from one end of the island to the other to attend weddings week after week. No we don't hate weddings. We absolutely love weddings, the union of two souls very much in love. Just that …
It was really interesting how breakfast went last weekend. I'm not really a breakfast person but perhaps thanks to last weekend, I might convert to someone who enjoys breakfast. See, the missus had earlier planned a breakfast date with 2 of her mates, one particularly having her last weekend breakfast as a bacholerette. Ok that's not really significant - as you can't possibly …
Ok it's been a while I updated on the happenings here. Yet today is not about blogging shenanigans. It's all about last night. Oh the glory. If last night have not instilled any belief in you then I don't know what will.It's been 4 seasons. 86 games. Ages really since the blue russian scums of Chelsea tasted defeat in their own backyard. Many have set upon the Bridge only to …
