Helsinki to Rovaniemi is twice as far as Singapore to KL, but the time it takes to fly there is only a little bit longer. After going 700 kilometres further north, I landed into temperatur …

It’s been fifteen years since FRIENDS stopped showing… since then I don’t think there has been a sitcom that has emulated the success of the sextet.And since then, none of them have really made a big impression on the big screen nor stepped out of the shadow that is FRIENDS.The Song Yueting song came up ...

Just the other day I was trudging home after a tiring day… throughout the entire train ride I was playing Scrabble on my iPhone. And when I reached the bus terminus, I spied a blind guy near the toilet entrance, possibly looking for something.I took no further notice and joined the queue to wait for ...

Blind faith is like having a horse with the sides of its eyes covered so that it can look straight and no where else. You believe in one thing and one thing only, your team is the best in the world and can never be faulted. Get a life you idiot.One of the things I ...

My sister got married yesterday but it sure didn’t feel like it to me. Yes, my blood-related elder sister.When we first got the news, it was after a hiatus of no-contact of almost two years. So much so, my mum and I initially decided that it was a waste of time and a matter of ...

When I was growing up just like any other kid on the street with parents who thought the world of me, I was signed up for classes such as piano and swimming amongst others.It took my mum three years to realise how musically declined I was - I never got to Grade 1. Of course ...

I’ve been wanting to have one ever since it was announced. It launched back in Nov/Dec 2006 but we never got ours, it delayed so long that even the Playstation 3 came out first. Every week, I tried to keep up to date with the news and always got disappointed, until two mornings ago.It stated that the console was launching, at a bundle price which may or may not be …

I think it’s an inherent problem I have, that I procrastinate and spend so much time in a timesink of I-have-no-idea-what. Even til this day I am guilty of doing the exact same thing… saying I need to get something done yet spending the productive hours doing absolutely nothing.Have I managed to be more happy-go-lucky? ...

Happy New Year!It’s actually already February but I don’t really care. Thanks for still coming around though. Life has been great since the last time I posted. I’ve gone to places, worked on a couple of things, planned on other things but the gist is that I’m really really busy.A lot of my time I actually wasted on sleeping, which I really enjoy at the …

At times, when I’m musing to myself, I feel like I could take on whatever the world throws at me. As though I can climb any mountain, run any distance, clear any obstacle, take on any challenge and still beat the odds. Like a million bucks.Yet at other times, I feel like I was put ...

In the old posts to come, you would come to realise that I spent 700+ dollars of my hard earned money on a 4-megapixel camera shortly before going to Australia. How fast has technology advanced? Because I actually paid only 350 bucks to get my current 8-megapixel camera. Ouch for then.I never got around to ...

I admit.This traveling job is exactly what I signed up for, which means being out of the country close to 50% of the time. It’s not that I don’t like it, I do actually enjoy it to some extent - not having to be desk-bound, meeting new people and experiencing different countries and cultures all ...

Walking in the rain in Singapore conditions are hugely different from doing the same in Australia. The size of the water droplets itself is so different… in Australia it feels as though you’re being sprayed upon… in Singapore, you’re pelted against.Three days ago we had one of the coolest days in Singapore for the longest ...

Four days ago, after months and months of holding back, I couldn’t take the probing and poking any longer and went out and got the Apple iPhone 3G. I had to pay a premium to re-contract and purchase the phone but with Lady Luck still smiling on me, my new company will actually subsidize a ...

Sometime this afternoon I came across a link on someone’s site with nothing more than a YouTube link to a video of Britain’s Got Talent. I clicked on it without hesitation together not knowing what I was in for.Cue to the video - it began with a short interview after which she appeared on stage ...

Well, it seems that I lapsed once again last week in writing a reminisce post. It’s been hectic… really really hectic. I spent the whole of last week working from Sunday til Thursday, arrived home on Friday and attended a wedding on Saturday before flying again on Sunday.I’m not sure if anybody reads this anyway. ...

What the hell happened in March/April… no title for the post either!

I can’t believe I actually took all that shit when trying to leave the army. Gosh it’s almost ridiculous the amount of abuse one can take during NS. Nowadays I realize that relationship building goes a long way to getting things to go your way. Gotta work on it abit more too.I actually forgot about ...
