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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

A New, Shall I Say, Mini-Series and I’m Still Not Sure About It – My First V-blog (Prelude) Episode 1
June 8th, 2008 12 Comments
Ideas are peculiar little tangibly intangibles. They are not as abstract as dreams like you want to marry a perfect guy (or girl) when you grow up or that Lamborghini you must have; wanting to be a rock star or to save the world. Ideas on the other hand are more tangible than that. It could be as simple [...]

Movie Script: Where In The World Is Mas Selamat?
April 22nd, 2008 24 Comments
The so-called vivid story told by today’s newspaper is neither in-depth nor entertaining. I was expecting a Hollywood script like this. Enjoy! Rated M18 for strong language, blood and gore. 1. EXT. DETENTION CENTER, SINGAPORE – NIGHT (4am) (Writer’s note: Who wants to watch a fugitive film that happens at four in the afternoon?) [...]

March 17th, 2008 6 Comments
One weekend, Cynthia passed me a newspaper cutting written by The Straits Times journalist Sumiko Tan on how her text message conversation with her friend inspired her to write an article on why some people tend to tell white lies to comfort others. Sumiko was having lunch alone one day, sent a text message to [...]

An Attempt To Pinpoint Why I Still Love Reading Chinese Literature – A Brief Review of 倪匡中篇奇情武俠系列《金腰帶》
February 20th, 2008 4 Comments
I have read tens or perhaps hundreds of English books but none matches the sensation I derive from reading in my mother tongue. Like this particular book I am going to feature here, I was so deeply affected that my mind just wouldn’t allow me to do anything else right after I’ve finished reading the [...]

This Is How Love Is Measured
November 30th, 2007 6 Comments
Everything in life can be measured, that is what I believe – either directly, via proxy measurement, or indirectly. One friend of mine asked: how do we measure love? We don’t have something like a love-meter, nor any consistent correlation that can scientifically measure love. How love is measured (after months and years of pondering), [...]
