As we grow older and as we progress from job to job and earn more, we also tend to spend more. This also means that we should be saving more (that is if we set aside by percentage and not a finite number).When I first started work, buying an extravagant item meant saving for many ...

Yes I’m quite sure bad experience lead to loss of innocence in certain cases… because you no longer wear your heart on your sleeves and go out unguarded. I guess after something bad happens, you tend to protect yourself the next time around. Live and let live…I cannot remember what I was hanging on to ...

Fraser Island was one of the best holiday places I’ve been to in like EVER!It is also where I’ve taken some of the best pictures of my life… evidently shown in some of the shots here. Well at the end of this month I will be going to Bali and I hope it will be ...

In the era when I was engrossed with wrestling and basketball, a once close friend in primary school introduced me to the world of football. Into supporting a team, watching the televised games and subsequently playing the sport itself.Thus began my love-hate affair with Arsenal Football Club. I watched as the years passed and we ...

Well from animosity to one that is all good to one that is all left. That’s the relationship of my mum and I. She’s probably the only family I have left.I sure as hell haven’t been spending enough time with her lately because of my travels but every so often I will call back and ...

Those who follow this site probably think that I write way too little. I think so too, it used to be a place for my mental catharsis and I should honestly write more often. Maybe I will, when I get an iPad or something. Typing entries on my iPhone just doesn’t cut it.Since I don’t ...

I in some kinda of long-D relationship right now as well. With the amount of time I spend away from home, I can honestly relate now how tough it is.But like I said then, there are perks… time together however little are now more precious than ever and cherished more.But she is someone worth fighting ...

Final Fantasy XIII was released just a few days ago but I haven’t bought the game nor even made a customary preorder. Mainly because I don’t know when I would be able to pick up my controller and play without the worry of pending work on my mind.In my first job, work was always mixed ...

Well, there has been a few things floating in my head for a while but I haven’t had the time to really sit and write them all out.The Jay Chou song in question previously I think was Qi Li Xiang. Been awhile since I last heard his music, I guess it was just a fad.Bent ...

Doing all these travelling… is also taking a toll on me. Somehow I know I’m missing out on a lot of things too. My ex-housemates who now go out for drinks cannot call me because I’m almost never around.Interestingly enough I watched Band of Brothers on HBO just the other day, same thing they showed ...

Dear you,You knew what you were getting into, so what’s with all the irrational paranoia and insecurity? You bloody hell knew where your place is so why are you expecting something you know you aren’t entitled to, so soon? Why can’t you be more understanding? Can you please just take a deep breath, two steps ...

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 know it’s not gonna be easy. You’re not gonna be around half the time and neither will I. But I think we can make it work, if you want to. Because I do.Sure you carry some stuff which you cannot yet let go of, but I promise to help you hold them, and in ...

A small world huh? Guess it really is after all. But then again, when you think about it, it really isn’t at all. There are 6 billion other people out there, spread across the entire Earth and yet we are only separated by six degrees. Funny world we live in.One of the things I regret ...

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 ...

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 ...

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? ...

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 ...

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 ...
