I do not believe in reincarnation.When i was younger, i seriously believed in reincarnation and life after death. I was especially interested in the forms of punishment in hell for being a bad person. In one version, i would be boiled alive (dead) in oil. In another version, my tongue would be cut off for telling lies (who doesn’t). Which kind of amused me coz i figured …

Omg. OMG. Whoever thought babies were oohs and cuddles, you’re in for a nasty surprise.

Insomnia grips you at the oddest moments. You think you’ve done the right thing by going to bed early, except that insomnia grabs hold of you and doesn’t let go. You think it is in parts due to the aching back that aches when you lie flat on the bed. So here you are, with ...

I came back from a chalet this morning. It was a tiring place to stay. There were only small blankets for each bed. That is, there were no extra blankets. I can do without bedding, but i cannot do without blankets. The place was infested with mosquitoes and all manner of six legged flying things. ...
I think it’s mooncake day sometime soon. Mooncake day is like a marker in my calendar. It is about the time when a couple of my friends would begin reading my blog. It is also the around this time that said couple of friends would, together with me, begin our pilgrimage across the tiny island ...
Went for my second pro-tour qualifier (magic the gathering tourney) at Braddell Heights condo clubhouse. Again, i didn’t win the plane ticket to San Diego. Didn’t even came close to top eight for that matter. I dropped from the tourney at the score of 2-2 with three more rounds to go, wholly disheartened and demoralized. ...

After fiddling a little with the privacy settings on facebook, and deleting a couple non-acquaintance friends from facebook, i’ve finally figured out a way to turn off the chat online status on facebook. As informed by a friend, it was as simple as setting the chat status to offline. Though that also means that i ...
I’ve been looking at my little cousin’s blog for sometime. It appears that the blog had degenerated into some kind of online shouting match intespersed with challenges to meet in real life to “settle” it. Reading the whole fiasco makes me roll my eyes. Some kind of pain, maybe. But it’s more likely due to ...

[Warning, 2012 spoilers follow]The thing about 2012 is the sheer number of narrow escapes. Most of the narrow escapes occur with the whole cast of protagonists in a vehicle and escaping certain death only at the very last (im)possible moment.
