This is a story of Dooku, of which the prequel you may have already read. Dooku was a farmer, a chef, but not any more. At least for now. While the story may be inspired by the people at work, all the characters are works of fiction. If you feel that I am writing [...]

Snippet Of My Life Episode 28 – A Matter Of Perspectives

1. Making Potions Lily Allen once wrote in her MySpace, “Most people don’t know how to make love.” I chuckled at her observation. What if she is right? What if most people simply mess things up in bed? Is it profound or is it stupid? My guitarist once told me that talents are innate in [...]

Sea Turtles, I “AMP” You!

It is time like this when I feel like I am staring in the movie “Troy”. Not as Brad Pitt of course, but rather one of the many soldiers who gets his point-one second of camera time. But that is OK. As someone who is reborn into this new generation of whoever participates wins, [...]
How I Met My Mother (At A Dumpster She Said)
November 17th, 2010 6 Comments
In one Spanish class, our teacher Alejandra posed a question: How did you meet that someone important in your life? For those who have kids at home, you must have been bombarded by soul searching questions like this. What a way to relive your childhood. As for me, attending a Spanish class is as close [...]

I Blog Because …
October 6th, 2010 7 Comments
My blogger buddy Walter has written an excellent post on why he blogs regularly. I have been wanting to write a similar topic for ages. So why not do it now? I blog because … I am highly imaginative? I have this special ability to look pass the pathetic statistics and number of comments in [...]
Snippet Of My Life Episode 27 – Some Kind Of Diary
September 2nd, 2010 11 Comments
A list of random thoughts and observations that bombard me lately begins with a comment made by my good buddy whom I met for lunch at Changi, somewhere so far away that colleagues aside, I have only got two lunch buddies to hassle with and naturally, they have become – again, colleagues aside – the second [...]

Fragments Of My Dreams Episode 15 – A Song That Lingered
August 18th, 2010 No Comments
For close to a year, I have had dreamless sleep, which is unusual if you know me. The night before, out of nowhere, Cynthia was conversing to me in purely Bahasa Indonesia. I suppose once in a while, we have this innate desire to feel closer to our mother tongue. I tried to hold a [...]

The company I work for has recently published a guideline on what not to share in a social networking environment, which includes personal websites I suppose. It is now officially out of the question to post the photo of that huge condom machine commonly found inside our office toilets a while ago. Because that is a photo taken [...]

How To Quiet The Prancing Horses Inside Your Head?!
July 15th, 2010 6 Comments
This is a pretty heavy topic. But I am sure some of you can handle. Once in a while, some trusted friends of mine would confide in me the situations they faced – at work, in relationship, or life in general – and hope to hear my perspective. I love listening to stories and answering questions. [...]

Summer Blog Episode 9 – Shortsightedness Versus Spelling Handicap (Final Episode)
June 30th, 2010 2 Comments
I too am shortsighted. So I am not here to poke fun at you, if you are or know someone who is shortsighted too. Looking at the number of people around me who require optical aid or surgical treatment to see properly, I cannot help but to wonder from time to time what would happen [...]
