A Glitch

2011-07-02T12:37:00.004+08:00

We are experiencing some technical difficulties at the moment.For some time now, this newspaper has been plagued by this troubling problem called 'life', which is severely limiting our capacity to generate funny and/or happy material. Rather than bore you with incessant re-runs of 'Yes i am still alive' and the spontaneous emo entry, the publishers have decided to suspend publication of

A Letter

Dear Yj,Why has singlehood suddenly become such a pain for u?There was a time when u said that this was a gift and not a curse, meant to be cherished and not to be discarded.So what if u think u've found the most wonderful and amazing girl in the world but can't be with her now?Knowing the delights of autumn does not diminish the joys of summer. The latter must run its course before the former

Procrastination

The thing about procrastinating a particular piece of work, is that all the other pieces of work get done up very quickly.

The second is that my self-confidence has been assaulted in an extremely effective

It is regretable that so many of my posts are related to work. This is a result of my highly developed left and right brain capabilities. Basically, the bulk of my work requires left brain functions (logic, analysis, processes, scolding pple, running all over the place, etc). Consequently, the right brain becomes extremely bored and under-utilised and is free to think up all kinds of nonesense.

"Grace is shockingly personal. As Henri Nouwen points out, "God rejoices.

No, God rejoices because one of his children who was lost has been found." - Philip Yancey, 'Whats so Amazing

Moon Over Malaya

2009-04-15T22:57:00.002+08:00

Halfway through learning how to give a positive no, i've taken a diversion and went on to read 'Moon over Malaya' by Jonathan Mofatt, a book about the 93rd Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, who fought the Japanese from Kedah to Singapore throughout the Battle of Malaya. These was the unit which was mentioned in MM LKY's first memoirs, to march across the Causeway with their pipers blaring. A

Coffee Ribs

2009-03-17T06:39:00.003+08:00

i was out for dinner with my parents at this new place at West Coast Plaza and we had coffee ribs. It reminded me of my second year in London when we were staying at Swanbourne and Lawrence made this 'coffee ribs' which was incredibly bitter and sticky. No one was really very fond of it and it permanently scarred his Teflon non-stick pan. haha.. But it was a good memory.Dude, if you're reading

For the longest time, my weekly routine involved: Monday - Work and sail like mad - Friday Saturday - *Blink - MondayWhich explains the absolute absence of entries here. i had neither the time nor energy to blog, not to mention the lack of interesting things happening..Today, after so long, i finally hav a chance to sit down and catch my breath.

Being Myself

2009-02-21T03:52:00.002+08:00

It's 0353h in the morning and i'd just spent the last 4 hours being myself:Namely, pouring in a lot of energy and effort to solve a very compelling and interesting problem which is also very small and unimportant, while having something much more important waiting for me to do.This time, i was programming macros.

Funny

i was going to blog about an extremely pointless and amusing conversation i had with Neville over sms this morning, only to realise that i'd have to explain so much background, censor off so much information and rephrase so many things that the thing won't be funny but i'd be very exhausted.so here's something funny from Kennysia.com instead:it's probably much easier for a guy in any other job to

Shuyin is taking a break from revolutionising the scientific world with her research to come back to SG and amidst my insane schedule and hers, i was blessed enough to meet her up for an hour of 'quick tea', cos she had to go for dinner w her parents and i was going to have mine w Zongbo.During the two conversations w two friends whom i've not met for quite a while, i realised/remembered one

"Quote-of-the-Day"!

2009-01-14T07:09:00.004+08:00

"Hurting people hurt people get hurt - The Pain Principle."The above quote is apparently supposed to be very wise and profound becos i saw it as TVMobile's Quote-of-the-Day. And it must be twice as wise as any other quote becos i saw it as Quote-of-the-Day on last Saturday AND Sunday. And it must be even more wise than all the other quotes seen elsewhere cos based on AC Nielsen, TVMobile is

2009!

2009-01-04T21:41:00.004+08:00

i've walked less roads than most and read less books than many...But this i know:We're angry when we feel mistreated...We're disappointed when our expectations are not met...We're sad when we lost something...We're unhappy when we're not satisfied...To those who had a good year, i hope this will be another one for you.To those who did not, cheer up. There's a brand new one for you to try again. =

Resistance

Feelings and emotions are such dangerous things... In a moment of weakness, you get can get swept away by the things that are happening around you and the things that are happening in you, to be brought to places which you said you're not ready to go.it is good to have sobering friends and colleagues.i am me. i choose objectivity. i choose to resist.
