Her name taken simply from an anime/manga by Harold Sakuishi, adding a “Y” to the back to make it roll of the tongue easier. Taken in from a breeder because I believed that all she needed was time and care, and that karma will come round an...
It’s funny how I so easily associate music to time and places from before… like whenever I hear a particular Celine Dion song, I think of my first girlfriend, songs like East 17 and Take That brings the secondary school nostalgia back again...
It’s been a while since then, and I’ve since brought her safely home. I don’t it like now that I’m not aching so much for her, because she’s becoming a distant memory. Not liking it at all because she was a big part of me ...
People who know me personally will know that I’m a practical person. Weighing pros versus cons is something I do with almost every decision I make. Yet at other times, a part of my inner self would send signals to my brain saying “FUCK IT”, making me occasionally spontaneous and willing to try just about ...
I’ve been writing entries online for seven years now, five of which are here and two of them sneakily hidden away. You can call it blogging although I never really quite liked the word, and boy has the time just whizzed by.When I first started, I wrote about anything and everything under the sun although ...
I never did like shopping, it was always a drudgery for me. Although I have not found it to be exceptionally rewarding, there are times when I do feel better after buying some threads.I still do think that men and women are wired differently just like how women would try on the clothes they bought ...
When I re-read the old post, I realised that it was during the time when I was still serving the army. But it was close to the end of my stint and I think I was just busy clearing my off-in-lieu and leaves. In other words, I was just bumming at home.I don’t think ...
Yesterday I took a trip down to the newest IKEA store in town, the one located in Tampines… and I quite like it.The parking is free and the place is gigantic. It reminded me of the times in Australia where something like this pops out in the middle of nowhere, located in a suburb where land is probably cheap. Stores that are actually warehouses, like Woolworths …
I cannot remember what caused me to pass each day without doing my assignments. Maybe the same thing that causes me to pass each day now without reading my materials and books.The five coloured lines look so cool! As though the words fade away from the top. Like Star Wars intro! HahahahI try not to ...
Tickets to the event!Apparently 3DD first began performing in Europe right here in Helsinki in a smaller pub location, unbeknowst to me at least. And yesterday was the last leg of their European tour this year, previous locales included UK, Germany, Sweden and finally Finland.Brad Arnold (Lead vocal) & Matt Roberts (Guitar)Chris Henderson (Guitar)They absolutely ...
Lemme see here…$250+ spent on the Synology 109j NAS, which by the way was the cheapest NAS in their extensive lineup. It was more of a want than a need, but it is performing just as how I imagined and wanted it to be.$350+ spent on a shirt, a pair of jeans and blazer when ...
Snuffing out my beating emberWhat is it that you rememberCold winds clear the clouded mindUndo whatever intertwinedSlowly coming to my sensesTime to put up its defensesPack it in the velvet snowHide them so they’ll never show‘Til the lines can cross the signsLet’s get high, Superfly
I’m back, finally. With a new webhost Orynet and a spanking new layout. Sorry to the creator as I changed the initial Lexus to my personal fave.There’s another lovely emo-rocker song on right now and I promise you I will be back more often with new stuff regularly.I absolutely love the date layout on the individual posts. Don’t you?
I was reading this forum thread about this guy who is thirty years old and has been jobless for the past 4 years since graduation. His qualifications include a PhD, MBA, Masters of Science and First class Engineering Honours from his higher education.His petulant replies to many people who question him really turned me off, quickly assuming he is the type of person whom many …
Before anybody gets any lewd ideas, yeah I wish… it actually stands for 3 Doors Down and I just purchased tickets to watch them live in Helsinki! They are amongst my top favourite alternative bands like Staind, Daughtry, Switchfoot, Nickelback and Breaking Benjamin. I’m still feeling stoked about it and will tell you how this ...
I have an iPod that spews music in the car, also something I listen to whenever I’m on the public transport. I have tonnes of songs, but only listen to a handful of them.I like jazz, the soothing kind, bossa nova and sometimes fusion. It kinda calms me. Mando-pop is straight out depressing, I haven’t heard many songs that don’t talk about love and stuff, …
I know I’m not an American, but I almost feel like I am. I think it must have been the way I was brought up, the fast food, the culture, the TV dramas/comedies and two companies I’ve worked for are both American as well.Anyway on to the topic of the day - it appears that ...
If any of you actually read our local rags recently, you’d probably have come across the article about the Mazda test driver who killed the Sales Engineer. Remember that story? The one where this guy who had no intention of buying a car, test drove an MX-5 with a pretty young lady SE and subsequently hit the central divider, flipped over to the next lane, smashed into a …
The festive season is once again upon us all. After weeks of dilemma and hysteria, I finally purchased the lifestyle product of the past half-decade - an iPod. Sure, I have an iPod Shuffle but the iPod itself is the ultimate music player that is so hyped that many are willing to forgo additional factors because of the form factor and style.I was thinking if a Playstation …
I have a dream.In three to four years time, when the shopping centre I’m eyeing is fully built, I’m thinking that I could open a game shop. Selling consoles, games, toys, books, magazines all gaming-related, have a couple of display sets for people to try them out. I’ll also have a web portal where people can gather and discuss as well as see the latest …
