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, [...]

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 [...]

I had a dream. I had become the new Minister for Transport. * * * * * Dear citizens, I have great news to announce. As a small child, when I see that an average citizen has to pay up to $100,000 to buy an average Japanese car, I see something is not right. For [...]

Summer Blog Episode 2 – A Harem Full Of Girls And A Hard Disk Full Of Music
June 21st, 2010 No Comments
Cynthia often pokes fun at my ears. She says my ears are promiscuous. I used to buy many compact disks regularly. My favorite pastime since the day when compact disk format was made popular was to camp at record stores, staring at the nicely wrapped disks trying to decide if I should buy just one [...]

Here is where I need to put a little disclaimer. While the following write-up is inspired by things that I see and do during my nine-to-five job, all the characters and events are fictional and by no mean resemble to anyone or anything in particular.

32 Weeks Have Passed And I Now Have My To-do List
August 13th, 2009 9 Comments
Recently, I read an entry from one of my friend’s private blog. It is kind of private because I promise her long time ago that I wouldn’t make a link into her site. She said, six months have passed and she still doesn’t know what she wants to do. And she has another six months to [...]

Crash! A “Retired” Cyclist Perching At A Flyover Overlooking The Streets Of Singapore
March 18th, 2009 2 Comments
“You really should relive your days of glory, pick up a bicycle, and cycle with us,” said my good old friend Rob time and time again when we meet up for lunch. And as always, I laughed it off and changed the topic. His determined eyes do pierce through my heart, though I am not showing [...]

U2! Down the Memory Lane on a Nostalgic Hazy Friday
February 13th, 2009 13 Comments
UB40 didn’t make it, U2 does. When I was a little boy, I often camped at the record stores, going through the catalogue organized by alphabets day after day, month after month. There weren’t that many group artists under the letter “U”. “Red Red Wine (1983)” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love (1993)” still put [...]

A Series of Interviews – Of Blogging and Journalism (So I Have a Digital Badge)
December 11th, 2008 8 Comments
I don’t know which is more mentally challenging, the competition or the interviews thereafter. Fortunately, my mind was very much heightened with the essence of at least two chickens I took in the morning. One reporter pulled me outside for an interview. Well, I had no clue that when she asked me the first question, [...]
