We are encouraged to knock off by 5pm today so that we can have dinner with our family which most people do not usually have the opportunity to. This is the 'Eat with your Family Day' - a prelude to the official launch of Family Day Celebration tomorrow.A rather nice and thoughtful initiative but when the (working) environment does not conduce such privilege, it becomes …
Attended the charity screening of the movie 'To Speak' in United World College last Saturday. Tian Hong has written a rather concise excerpt and review of the movie. We were honoured to have Janne Ritskes, founder of Tabitha, to grace the event.Thank you Uncle Freddie for the kind invitation to the screening. It took me quite a while to muster enough courage to introduce …
Composers Block is alive yet again. Kudos to Uncle Freddie.Have changed the auto-play music to "Favour" cos this is one of the many I like a lot.Still have much to say about my thoughts of Reuben's music and the 5 of them but my body has long signaled me.Shall find time to share on this before I go out of town else it would have to be after my return.
In a press statement on public holidays for 2008 released on 29 March 2007, the Ministry of Manpower announced that Deepavali would fall on 28 October 2008 (Tuesday). However, the date needed to be checked against the Indian Almanacs when they became available.

I have been, or rather my skin has been peeling off since Sunday and I now look like a freak; I sure can do with the little "extra" attention from others with this hideous look. :P LOL, needn't spend tens or maybe even hundreds of dollars to perform exfoliation at the facials, just go under the sun for 6 straight hours. =P Went to the East Coast Park on Labour Day and did a …

How time flies. This is the fourth month that I am over here and things have pretty much been the same as when I first arrived. I have hoped that the rather good start could continue, but only to be a wishful thought. There were just too many matters to sort out right after my resignation and before the flight: banking and billing, finance, domestic......the list goes on; …
Finally caught the first musical of my life last evening (second one if I didn't give up waiting till the interval to catch the remaining portions of Les Misérables when it first performed …

“有頭有臉的已婚大老闆，瞞著妻子，借故說 要加班開會，但實為到酒廊風流快活”在本地 極爲“平常”也好，“男人玩女人很正常”也 罷，是不是就意味著“既然即平常又正常”， 那麽背叛了婚姻的承諾就沒有“愧疚”可言， 也因此無需“道歉與懺悔”呢？ 原為“滅火”但所說出的字與詞更像是在引火 自焚。當事人還算是有頭有臉，一家公司的老 闆吧？那麽這樣的話語，是幫到忙，還是幫倒 忙呀？是 …
My trigger finger seems getting worse. It used to only refuse to stretch out when I wake up and would slowly stretch out within the next couple of hours or so. Just yesterday, and since then, this finger seem wanting to fold-in the whole day and it required an effort to stretch it out.
