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 [...]

I believe that challenges and obstacles are there to propel us forward, setbacks are [...]

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, [...]

Comic Relief – 5 Ways to Beat Electricity Price Hikes (And You Don’t Have to Sweat About It)
October 8th, 2008 20 Comments
By now, you must have read 101 ways on how to cut back on this and that to save $$. But do we have to go down that path? All we need are some workable innovative ideas. Something sustainable, something … fun.
What triggered my thought is probably this. I have done what I can comfortably do (and [...]

Yet Another Road Trip, Yet Another Small Step Towards Our Goal
September 26th, 2008 4 Comments
By the time you read this, Cynthia and I may have reached PJ Malaysia to meet up with Wieke for a band practice. Nothing is going to slow us down for our November performance at the Heeren, Singapore. Not even the temporary relocation of Wieke.
I have a theory I concocted decades ago and it has [...]

The Moon Against a Beautiful Blue Sky
September 12th, 2008 10 Comments
Besides imaginary friends, I have scripts of imaginary thank you speech too. I would picture this vision of “I made it” – not a bad end in mind I reckon – and I would give thanks to those who believe in me and to those who don’t. Except, those who don’t probably become less significant [...]

My New “It’s So Strange” Movement / And I Started Swimming Again
August 25th, 2008 14 Comments
This is me, swimming in Backstroke. It’s a strange drawing of mine, isn’t it?
Maybe I tend to influence people around me with my quirks and twists; maybe everybody is influencing everybody else with his or her quirks and twists. Last year, I started the “Do It” movement. Some colleague of mine told me that they have even [...]

Of Dr. Nanorobot, Human Power Plant, Chip Implant, Eyeset, and More – My First V-blog (Prelude) Episode 4
June 25th, 2008 4 Comments
I can be a futurist. I see a future that our bodies will be repaired by robots of nano-scale in the comfort of our home, bulky televisions are things of the past and instead, we will have our own Eyeset (think headset). Walking through the building entrances, office doors, and immigration checkpoints without the need [...]
