I cannot even being to describe the feeling I had back then, it really felt like being a ghost drifting. Didn’t feel connected to anything real or solid… what is real anyway?Sometimes I think I take it too hard on myself for mistakes I made or stuff I failed to do properly. Anger management is ...
I have no idea what I was stunned about Aug 16 five years ago. I do however have something to say about the butterfly effect.My friend posted on Facebook this statement : ‘What if, you woke up one day… realized that all the decisions you made led up to this very moment… and you were ...
It has been more than a year now since I have been out of a relationship and honestly I don’t know how to begin… as in begin another one. There have been times when I wonder to myself… how did it all start in my previous relationship(s)? Truth be told, I am not some sweet ...
In a blink of an eye, our nation has now celebrated 44 years of independence. I spent that time in the airplane heading off to Shanghai this year. Hahaha I can’t believe so many years ago I was watching the China vs Japan game in Australia and complaining about the attitudes of the Mainland Chinese, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The main reason one carries a phone around is because one wishes to be contactable at all times right?One of the things that irks me these days are when people do not answer their handphone… OK maybe irk is too harsh a word to use, slightly annoyed might be better. What really pisses me off ...
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 & ...
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 ...
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 ...
I could be getting creeped out by the sheer coincidence of some things I write here. Just two days ago while walking back with my customer service manager, he remarked that water is the basis of life… it can float your boat, and it can wreck it too. Gosh.I realised as well that many of ...
Along the years, I have made many strategic mistakes that has shaped my life in more ways than others. Making the wrong choices, choosing the wrong paths and sometimes even procrastination or not making a decision has cost me something. I guess this is the part where you can say that we are all to ...
Leopard spots hahha… in the year 2004 and I already wrote something about it. Four years later I am guilty of not remembering that I wrote it and doing exactly what I thought was futile and it turned out to be right once again. I guess love was really blind.I wonder what happened to that ...
An ex-colleague of mine passed away last week… the initial news was that it was a traffic accident. None of us knew anything more and it just seemed like another unfortunate accident. It made me think then that life can be so easily cut short and I should living mine without regrets.News started to filter ...
Five years on and I’m still studying… having so many programmes packed on a day to day basis, I still try my best to read my nerdy book which I spent a bomb on. I hope that after going through it, I would be able to be better at my job.These days, it’s harder and ...
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 ...
