Wow, this is really the longest time it’s been since I wrote something. Well, things have changed around here, quite a fair bit I have to say.Mainly that I got married a couple weeks back (shocker!). I don’t think I actually saw myself being in this position not too many years ago… and I still ...
When I was younger, people used to say to me that I had worms in my stomach because of my scrawny size and insatiable appetite. I guess I used to have much much more metabolism back then, nobody tells me that anymore It would have been so much easier to just say that somehow the ...
Well the year is coming to a close and it feels to have just flown by. Like seriously whizzed by. It doesn’t feel too long ago when I was on this same day last year counting down, Christmas just over and me being in a new job.I don’t remember much about the first quarter, other ...
It seems that these days I just blog with increasing irregularity. I think there are just too many other things that I want to do than write an entry. Part having to study, play games and also because I have found a confidante that I can tell things to, thus making this space rather redundant. ...
Credit jmakI will just join the millions of people out there who have had their lives changed or affected in some way by an Apple product in dedicating this post to the one true visionary of our time. I don’t really need to write about how he turned Apple around from a near-bankrupt company to ...
I shan’t even start on the numerous excuses I have for not writing here lately… I guess I’m really busy. Or maybe I’m not.I spend too much time gaming, watching TV and just now doing what I am supposed to - studying and labbing.Sometimes I think about what I wish to write, but never get ...
Well, I’ve been flying under the radar for a while now. Especially since returning from my holiday and army stint. The reason - CCIE.CCIE stands for Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert, which *was* the epitome of networking guru-ness until they recently introduced an invite-only architect level certification. That aside, the CCIE has been a dream for ...
Well my birthday has come and gone and it looks like I’m now officially 30.Thirty doesn’t feel anything different to me other than the way people look at me or perhaps I am overthinking that they are looking at me differently when they actually are not.I didn’t have anything too extravagant, just a BBQ dinner ...
Well then, for the uninitiated (mainly those not Facebook friends of mine), I’m engaged. Yes I’m actually finally getting married!The proposal was nothing extravagant nor showy, just a simple act done by the bedside in Phuket when we were there for another wedding. The ring was custom designed (copied if you will) and just the ...
When someone told me that you’d be of a certain kind of character, I never quite believed it. Somehow I had a more forgiving view of people, guess I never really learnt my lesson. To put it in a sense one of my friends would coin it (bad pun), you’re a five-cents face.You helped to ...
It’s been close to a year since I got the original iPad as a surprise present from the girl… and I haven’t looked back since.In the beginning I didn’t quite use it as much, bringing it around only to surf the net (if WiFi was available) or look at pretty vector drawing apps to amuse ...
I’ve become such a boring person.Golf used to be a fortnightly affair with range practices weekly, but that has dwindled down to once every two months (if I’m lucky). I also barely go out these days, when normally I’d be out meeting a friend for a drink or coffee. Heck sometimes I don’t even step ...
I don’t even know what I wanna write about. Perhaps my life in general? As I sit here in Starbucks enjoying my favourite Green Tea frappuccino, I ponder upon what life has in store for me.Life in the new job has been stressful at times, making me feel stupid and struggling but the people around ...
Well well… here we are in 2011. I swear that I wanted to write this at least five days ago, funny thing is - occasionally while I was playing my PS3, I would glance over to my bookshelf and see a book previously gifted to me - Living With Procrastination. Hahha how apt, I even ...
Last week we celebrated our first year anniversary. It’s scary to realize how fast time blitzes by when you’re not looking, and now we are almost at Christmas once again.The year that passed has been nothing short of fantastic with a lovingly quirky girlfriend who gets me (mostly) and it’s been an absolute blast of ...
For the uninitiated, I switched over to a new job a few weeks ago. Tomorrow starts my fourth week, and I have to say I’m slightly overwhelmed. Looking at the knowledge I need to grasp scares me, partly because this is similar to what I used to do in my first job and also it ...
This thought struck me a couple weeks ago while I was on the road. I thought about why some of the world’s top athletes tend to come back into the game after they retire. Usually they go out at the top of their game but only to return a few years later.Tennis has Kim Clijsters ...
It’s true how you never know what you’ve got till you’ve lost it. Because we always tend to take things for granted. Not many are capable of stopping themselves every so often to take stock of their lives.The good things we have in life always tend to get overlooked and rarely do get credited when ...
I guess I may one of very few people who no longer look forward to overseas work trips anymore. In fact, I dread it.As I sit here writing this in the plane, I’m thankful that the 11-hour flight was made bearable since I managed to sleep about eight hours of it on a three seat ...
LUCK - some of us have it, some of us don’t. But if you sit down and think about it, I’m sure actually all of us have it… just in varying amounts. Is it predefined by your birth date and time like what some beliefs are, just as the stars aligned during your moment of ...
