I think I have been watching too many movies in the past few months that I even watched great classics such as Pulp Fiction and Happy Gilmore again haha. Other movies include shitty ones like Transporter 3, Ghost Town and Max Payne, comedies like Ron Burgundy, How To Lose Friends, Zack & Miri, Pineapple Express ...
As promised, today is a significant date because it marks five years of my blogging here on DS.org and I am very proud (yet at the same time ashamed of haphazard coding) to present to you my reminiscing of times long gone.After a fervent midnight oil burning session, I have created a reminiscing page which ...
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 ...
This scene was taken from the movie “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”. It struck me hard because that is exactly how I think sometimes - that all it takes is for a different action and life would change completely. Some kind of butterfly effect.P.S. Stop the music before hitting play, you’ll wanna hear the ...
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 ...
It is such a shame that we do not have beautiful beaches here in Singapore but must actually travel to our neighbor countries to enjoy lazing in the sun. I did remember being burnt crisply that weekend, the peeling felt like it would never end!I did try to run through 10 years of Calvin & ...
It appears that one of our local MP (Minister of Parliament) was set on fire not too long ago. What actually astounded me is the reason why someone would resort to that kind of tactic.Everyone knows what kind of government we have here and for a place where it is against the law to hold ...
I am still highly procrastinative (there is no such word haha) and competitive as well. Actually, I think I am slightly more procrastinative and slightly less competitive these days.Five years on, I still have not purchased a saxophone. It is not exactly the cheeriest of musical instruments around and I think I could do without ...
That “Dreams May Come” shot is probably one of the nicest shots I’ve taken… ever. It does look a little overexposed on the left but the colours! Just look at the colours! And I can’t believe how many people have not watched or even heard of the movie “What Dreams May Come” for that matter…I ...
Yep, I used to be cheap labour. For a couple of bucks per hour, I had to wake up each morning and go to the east ends of Singapore just to fix up Dell computers for primary schools. If enduring the long train rides were not bad enough, being paid a pittance that barely covered ...
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 ...
Wow, I can’t believe I actually got a headache attending the first class after NS. These days only marketing and sales talks give me head trauma and I just had one big one on Monday!I think I’m getting old and the brain is not functioning that well anymore, because I barely have a problem falling ...
With the action-packed events lined up for me ever since I touched down, I have barely slept a proper nights’ sleep. The longest sleep I’ve had over one night was six hours, shortest was forty minutes and averaging about four hours per night for three nights straight.I was busy doing stuff like scrambling for a ...
It started to snow about three days ago, stealthily occurring overnight and in the next morning - a thin white sheet laid upon the ground but by the end of that day, it had pretty much disappeared. Then yesterday evening it began to fall more steadily and you could see the snowflakes drifting lazily down ...
This friend of mine who left so many things for me when I first arrived in Australia works near to my current office. We met for lunch just once in the six months I have been on my job… and she got married during my overseas training stint. I’m going to make it a point ...
Gosh 41 degrees… and not too long ago Melbourne was scorching as well.I think I’m the kind of person that doesn’t remember alot of movies shortly after I watch them. I remember a bit about the Shawshank but can’t remember even watching the Mean Machine before. I guess it was just not impressionable.I still can’t ...
There are a number of things that are inherently different when you get to Finland.First thing you will notice is that people there drive on the right side of the road. I believe most European countries do the same with the notable exception of the UK. This is utterly confusing for me because I always ...
Sometimes I really wonder what my paper footprint is like. Right now I’m in the office printing 1500 pages of notes, and it’s my fault that I’m spending my time doing it myself right now. If I had known any earlier I would have been able to outsource this job to the commercial shops to ...
Two weekends ago, I was in the frigidly cold town called Rovaniemi - the very same place where Santa decided to set up shop, tending to little childrens’ wishes to sit on his lap and reiterate their goodness the past year in hopes of receiving presents on Christmas Day. Heck, I even crossed into the ...
