Tomorrow is the official last day for me at my old company. In the end, it was the politics, the backstabbing, the two-faced people, the slackers, the rigidness of the processes, the lack of support, the poor vision, the unstable products and the crappy job scope that did it for me. Trust me, there are ...

Awoke from my slumberI clearly rememberOne thing as I ponderThat made me thus sombreDo dreams ever come true?‘Of course they do!’I wish to believe youBut that I can’t do

Wow, I must’ve been real sad cause I have no idea what the hell that post was about. One thing I do know, is that I thought it was a nice play on words. That I was the NOBODY and nobody went to the corner… meaning I went to the corner. Geddit? LOLI can’t believe ...

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 ...

I can’t believe I settled for a 2MP camera to take pictures of the decorations around my house so many years ago. Nowadays people won’t settle for anything less than 8!Well, that house has been sold for a while now and we didn’t even put up any Christmas decorations this year because my mum is ...

I’ve got a bit of time to kill before I need to go so I thought I would write a bit of what’s going to change around here. Last night after going through my teaching materials, I got up, sat at my desk and started coding away… This idea probably came across my mind like ...

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 ...

I don’t know what is wrong with me. I feel inadequate. I know I am better than this, but yet so easily fall into the pits of self-loathing and uselessness.Take work for example - I know I am definitely up to the task of excelling at my job although there is a lot of catching ...

I used to mix drinks at home and enjoy them on the veranda outside my old place. At my current place, I do have a quaint little balcony that looks over a hill but I haven’t quite used it for drinking yet. These days I only lie down in the balcony and enjoy the breeze ...

I am such a slob.Staying here for the past four weeks have only solidified this fact. I do all my sleeping, eating, watching TV and reading/studying on the bed, and I don’t make my bed each morning. Thank goodness for the cleaning person that comes in once a week, else I can quite confidently say ...

Winter is either here or coming real quick cos it’s so cold these days. My daily getup includes GoreTex shoes, double socks, long johns, jeans, top, parka, leather gloves, scarf and beanie. If I leave my hand open to the mercy of the wind, my bones feel the chill within minutes… so much it hurts.I ...

A lot of people don’t understand why there is an overdependency on cars and transportation in other countries outside of Singapore. It is only when you reach there do you realize that without a car, you’re effective cripped.Going from place to place without wheels would take forever and not forgetting that it doesn’t help if ...

Well, Happy Valentine’s to all you couples out there. Another alternative name is called the Single Awareness Day. That’s where I fall in hahah… I pretty much spent the day doing nothing but watching TV, completing my GTA4, went for a swim and hit some golf balls at the range. Rather uneventful I know, but ...

Everybody is afraid of the R word - Recession. But face it, that is the situation which we are all in now. Not just Asia like in ‘97 but a full-on Global Economic Crisis… you see those words so much in the papers that you are probably numb of it now.Reports of mass layoffs, downsizing ...

Five years ago, I was found to be working for less than a couple of dollars an hour. How times have changed since then. I actually cost much much more now. Now if I can get a system in place so that I can start charging people fees for man-hours, consultation or companionship. HahahaCome to ...

Happy Chinese New Year! I was away in Perth for a holiday over the weekend and actually came back happy yet sad as I thought about a lot of things when I was there… stuff like how opulent the holiday was and wondered if I will ever find a special one.My holiday was fully paid ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
