The Swedish Theatre in HelsinkiI think I have very very poor perception and that inadvertently my brain is trying to kill me.When I packed for this trip, I thought I brought six weeks worth of clothing… Six weeks in, 30% of my clothes are in the same condition as they were when I packed them. ...
On the website it appeared so lovingly designed and upkept, the amenities and service look impeccable. It reminded me of the service apartment I stayed in during my holiday in Melbourne in 2005. I arrived two days ago sadly mistaken and was somewhat disappointed. The place feels like a dingy little Russian hideout, flanked by ...
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 ...
Oh I totally missed out on blogging yesterday since it was my fifth anniversary away from the army. Hey wait a minute! I have already attended three reservists and the fourth one is coming in April. Add my university studies into the fold, something doesn’t quite add up!Spending $300 dollars on a pair of glasses ...
As I settled down into my seat while the plane waited to be filled, I realized something. I thought that it was my first flight alone, but it really wasn’t… however, it was my first real trip alone. I had to transit in Bangkok and as I stepped out into the departure lounge, felt like ...
I got to know this information over a month ago, it appears that I was required to be in Finland for training at this new job that I’m at. I will be away for six consecutive weeks beginning this Sunday through til end November. Do await fascinating pictures because I have gotten myself a new ...
You’d think that having a weblog means there will be at least a page or two about the author himself, but all I have here is a short paragraph that really doesn’t say much at all. Although in its true essence, I don’t think much in the description has changed in the past few years. ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
Ahhh Churrascaria… I am not quite sure if I revisited the place after that night with my sister. I do remember a second evening there with my soccer teammates and boy did we pig out that time.Regarding the sibling’s significant other, I’m glad I don’t have to deal with that now! But significant other’s siblings, ...
It was like a wave that just crashed over and around me, a feeling of despondency and hopelessness that started sometime last week.These days I have been packing my schedules so tight, it looked like I never stopped moving. But when things slow down due to cancellations and pull-outs, I suddenly felt empty inside. Why ...
Speed-Reading, cost me a couple hundred quid then, and I have barely utilized the skills. But sometimes, just sometimes… I feel myself reading faster than normal. Maybe it is just my subconscious innate ability. Hahah.Well well, two days ago I was just at a dentist who made me feel guilty that I missed my wisdom ...
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 ...
What’s new for 2009? It didn’t seem that long ago when we were fearing for a global meltdown when we crossed into Y2K, now we have it in the financial sense.Resolutions never really worked for me, because I was a bumbling idiot who procrastinated more than worked at something. Thus, I will not make cliche ...
So the New Year has come and gone again… I have cleaned up well since 5 years ago, barely getting drunk on Christmas Eve (actually passing a breathalyzer at St James too) and even less drunk on New Years Eve. But whenever a New Year’s celebrations come up, I always think about the time 5 ...
Everybody has their own problems and dreaming of a better place or time is probably one way to escape the current situation - along with it comes something called HOPE. How much hope is too much?Admittedly I am an idealistic dreamer who thinks that my future will be all rosy and problem-free. It seems that ...
I can’t believe I actually started this site running on my own PC so many years ago, I guess it was a combination of me closing the old blog and not wishing to continue using the feature-limited blogspot. But having it hosted on my own computer meant I had a very small bandwidth capacity to ...
It’s been two weeks in this foreign land and I have to admit - keeping up with this whole disappearing act is getting quite tiring. I had initially thought that this game would have been fun, see how the world I know changed while I was ‘gone’. Yeah by cyber-stalking…However, I’m sticking to my plan ...
Here’s an excerpt of what the Finns are like, taken from the Culture Shock! book I bought from Borders weeks before coming here:Meeting a Finn is definitely good for a stressed-out soul, especially if you come from a nation of money-oriented achievers, celebrity fixations, and the latest ‘must have’ status items. As a whole, the ...
