I'm proud to say I've started exploring my life since August 2009. It has been a scary journey, though I don't talk about the process much. There's so much questionings and self-doubt. But at least, I'm awake. At least I've stopped going through the motions of the day because I'm expected to. This month onwards is picking up and the future out there is for us to carve. Cheers …
I just saw A Moment To Remember on TV. It's a big deal for me because I don't normally watch romance, especially Korean ones because the couples are either permanently crying, or that they were long-lost brother and sister who fell in love with each other. Something along those lines. Anyways, this movie caught my eye because I love the way it was filmed. Very poetic. Very …
I didn't grow up listening to the Rolling Stones but I've always thought young Mick Jagger is quite hot. He's got the swagger and attitude face. Anyways, it was Rolling Stones Night on American Idol last night. Tim Urban sang Under My Thumb and it sounded a little painful. Maybe like 5 fingernails crawling over the blackboard. It's not just the voice, but the overall delivery …
Hello! Long time no chat. Here're some random updates. I'm alive I'm mad busy I tour around Singapore past week like a hardcore tourist for meetings My business is still in supplying quality t-shirts and premiums. It's growing healthily. If you need my wonderful service, please do drop me an email. I haven't been going to the gym and I miss spinning. I played tennis once last …
We've a tiring work week, so we hung out with Teddy, James and Wensi on one of the nights at Mono Bar at St James. It was my first time drinking Macallen and it's so bloody awesome 'cos the whisky is so damn smooth. Mono has a fantastic set of sound system, in fact, the best I've tried. After a few swings of whisky coupled with highly emotional songs, the night have …
There's something very heartwarming about these photos. I'm not sure if these are from a film, music video or a movie...but I think there're many ways to interpret this love story, isn't it? I wonder, if my life's random snapshots are laid in front of me in a scattered pile, I wonder if I'm able to arrange them in order. I wonder too, how I'll interpret them. {images from …
please put on a shirt We were running ironbra for our own self-indulgent jokes and art. Then of late, we've expanded to supplying and printing corporate events tees, class tees, CCA shirts, sports jerseys, sweaters...even shoebags, towels, laptop bags etc. So we set up Singapore T-Shirt Studio. We've been rather busy of late. Customers are rolling in for our service but …
Few days ago, Bryan came to my place and sat at my study table. He took a book from my table, then sat at a corner to read. I was at the living room, and I took a book from the sofa to join him. I opened the book, but the page that was folded was not where I stopped. Creepy fact was...we were reading the exact same novel, but taking each other's book thinking it was ours. …
Let's sum it up. Here are some inputs from friends when I asked what I can do for my life: Being a DJ, an events organizer, being on TV show, a fashion mogul, a full-time blogger, a martial art expert and "go and get a bloody job" (my favourite one). I know I am supposed to know what I want to do. I thought I did. But what I really want is to wake up each day, jump out of bed …
I've been cracking my head like crazy, pondering what to make out of my life. It's not about sitting there, wondering if I should head to gym class tomorrow. But it's like, what choices should I make, what directions I should head. Have you once properly sit down to figure what to do with your life? How do you know what you're doing is what you truly desire for yourself? …
Here's another apartment that's tiny but beautifully done up. I love the details that contribute to the cosy environment of house - ladder, art on wall, the lights, stylish wallpaper, colorful pillows...They've even got a mini "open closet" with the little rack in the bedroom too. You can see more photos from FresHome.
I think starting a business has been one of the biggest adventures of my life. Some days, I wake up thinking I'm really brave. Some days, I wake up, wishing I've a 9 to 6 job instead because at least the income is stable, but I'd confine myself to my work station and office schedule. Then I'd sit there and wonder if I am capable of building anything for myself. Hey, I'd like …
It's so hot of late that I think I'm dying from the blazing heat each day. I never have the habit of bringing bottled water to the drink, but thank God, I brought one to spinning class today. I think I'll grab a bottle of water to run next time. At least I can train my arms and hydrate at the same time.
I've a good-for-nothing left knee, ever since I've mildly tore my ligaments twice when I was training competitive ultimate frisbee. At times when I run, the pain is unspeakable of. First it feels a bit wobbly, then it feels slightly out of place and that's when I get the sharp jab of pain. Then I'd stand to let the knee rest before I continue. I noticed that the frequency of …
Ever since we offer to do shirt printing in large runs (say company polo tees, class t-shirts, club t-shirts, shirts for events...), I've been so occupied. Dear Friends, if you do know anyone who might require our shirt printing services, I'd really appreciate it if you could refer 'em to us! We print on premiums like bags, towels and mugs as well. Of course we're more …
The alluring darkness versus... ...the seductiveness of light. So this is my side profile :) I don't have much opportunity to see it everyday. The front's being dreamy, the back's just being morbid. My night is made perfect with a very fun, outdoor shoot with my talented buddy, Alex. It's funny how just two year's back, when we were fresh out from university, we hung …
I think Bryan knows me too damn well, cos this is what he got for me. It's perfect! I can't put it down at all... Here's some excerpts from Ralphie's Grade 2 Progress Report - On listening/speaking Needs improvement. Ralph answers math questions with information about his pets and/or pants. He refuses to make anything but buzzing noises during spelling bees. He of ten calls …
On the day of my birthday, Bryan took me to Sentosa. We walked around the island, spent some time choosing a beach pub (there's a few new ones at Siloso Beach), had some mango magaritas...then he took me to KHA at Hort Park for dinner. We had olive rice, green curry chicken and some tom yum goong. The food is really awesome, especially to us, since we like spicy stuff. I told …
On the eve of my birthday, Bryan whisked me away for dinner. He led me to The Queen & Mangosteen, sat me down and ordered two pints of beer. The fish & chips is one of the best I've tried in S'pore (I don't quite like fried food usually). We also tried their roasted rack of lamb and had two scopes of kapiti ice-cream (rum & rasin plus cafe expresso, both damn …
