Back from Heaven and Hell



Black Sabbath...These guys are amazing.

Dio, in his 60s and still rocking damm hard.

The concert was held last Saturday at Fort Canning. Amazing awesome is all i can say. All the rockers attending are in either Led Zeppelin, Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden etc T-Shirts. (and no, you dun see people in pink and gals screaming "I love you!", "I wan your baby!", "you are so handsome!". Please dun mix up Boyzone and Black Sabbath).

The crowd have people from all ages. Right from the teens to the middle age. Well, the middle age, is natural, cos Sabbath was that era. The teen, well, all i can say is, never to young or late to start rocking!!!

Dio still moves around like in his 20s and not a year older, his voice still as powerful as before! The blast of those electric sounds..it's just plain ass-kicking!!

When they rock with "Heaven and Hell" the crowd just went crazy and our voices sang to the chorus of the song, drowned Dio's totally! Amazing shit man!!!

Still Alive....


Yes, yes, yes. I am still alive. Not dead yet.

Some of my friends have been going like "Aye! Bugger! You still alive or what???", "Oh! You are alive! I thought you dead...jus checking!". Well, good friends I have! Haha!!

For over a month, I have been quiet. Very quiet in here, I mean. But in my not so coulouful human live, I have been running so so busy(Unlike Keeve, whom is going crazy as well, still have the discipline to update his cyber life...). Occupied with too many things. It's the end of the year. The last stretch to run and see the result for the whole year. It's the final lap. Cannot fail.

And I have been keeping myself busy, besides work, with some other stuffs.(You buggers must be so interested to find out what other stuffs right??!!) Well, let's jus say..i have been steadily working towrads my dream, my goal. I will own her very soon. Ya, one more addition to my many girlfriends and lovers... i can almost see her sexy butt already...so so sexy...ahhh.....the feel of her skin...the smell...ahhh...OK OK OK. I am getting carried away... one day you will see what i am talking about... ha ha ha!!!

Taking some time off tonight for a heavy metal rock concert. Black Sabbath. Yeah, Ronnie James Dio is back for this world tour series. Thank goodness they decided to pop by Singapore!! To Heaven and Hell tonight!!!

OK, I promise to be good and try my very best to update this as often as possible... Hang in there. It's gonna be a fun 3 months ahead.

For someone in particular to remember : "When you think you can do it, You can do it. When you think you can't do it, you can't do it."

We can all win this. be strong.

Small Island


Was at Wheelock Place Starbucks over last Saturday. Noticed 2 pretty gals sitting opposite me…

Than, I was at Ikea the next day and walked past one of the gals that was at Starbucks yesterday. We looked at each other like.."Hmmm…do we know each other?" kinda look. Than in a split second, we goes like "ah! Starbucks, yesterday!" in our mind.

I was than at Holland Village, sitting at Haagen Daz for ice-cream and coffee. Sitting next to a table of 5 ladies. One of them struck me, cos she is the slimmest of the lot(not a good way to be remembered I am sure!).

Than yesterday, I was having lunch at this restaurant and the slimmest-of-the-lot gal from Haagen Daz on Sunday was sitting next to my table. I went like.."hmmm…I know her…", than the "ahh..!!" happens right immediately.

It's really such a small world. Especially in this country. There's only that many people in this little island and everyone will kinda "seen" or "know" or linked to each other.

Scary...

New Ink Part One



Got new ink.

90% done, need to go back for the finaly blue lining and touch up. Goes around almost my entire left calf. Well, i would love to say that it din hurt at all.... BUT..truth is..IT DOES.

Somehow, this time, it hurts more than the one at my left shoulder back... Especially the upper part of the calf...

Friend did a great job. Precise and no overrun of the lines. It is not a easy one to do..he totally shagged out after 80mins... Hahah!!! Took about 3hrs...

Overall, I love it. Simply beautiful.

There are of cos people in this world who cannot accept this kinda art. To them, its like a hooligan etc etc. Well, we are in the 20th Century now. Not 1960s. Open up ya mind and enjoy the beauty!

Photo : It goes around the calf, so try to match both the photos together and you about get the idea...

Simple?


Simple things, where have you been?

If only things in life can be simple and easy. Alot of us would have a much more happy path to walk...

Someone told me, we are the ones that complicate stuffs...It is simple...

I dun agreed and I dun disagreed.

Simple things, I would prefer simple things. Pure and simple.

Cyber Space


Finally gotten the broadband back.

Been without it for a couple of month. Just got the new package fixed up today. everything is running smoothly. It jus feels like life is back to normal with the broadband back. How pathetic and reliant we have all became of technology.

The new iMac are really tempting...but mine is still werking fine...arghhed....!!!

Went online for a round of golf earlier today via the PS3. Japan based game. Did not encounter any english speaking people there. It was interesting, playing with golf online with people. There are some Tiger Woods around Japan... Looking to tee off tonighth with some friend.

24 Day 6 is finally here. With broadband, 24 and football...what else i need in life? ha ha!! there are, there are definitely some things I very much want in life.

Podless


My ipod is screwed.

Been a faithful servant for 3 years...and it starts to go bonkers now...

Played every song for 3 seconds and skips ahead to the next song...restarted the whole thing, still dun work.

I shall proclaim it officially spoiled!

Now, a reason to buy a new one...Heh Heh Heh...

It is really difficult to go without a ipod, all my CD collections are in there, and assholes like me, wants to listen to any song any time kind...so imagine my frustration when it played out on me... arghhed!!! I am basically "musicless" now..untill i get my hands on a new one...

Sigh...life without music...is no life at all...

Sad or Beautiful, You Decide


Interpretation.

Canon by Pachelbel. People used it for weddings all the time. Used in a lot of movies and serials. It's suppose to be a lovely and romantic piece.

Love it since the day I heard it many years back...To me, this is a sad piece of music. There are just so much pain in it …especially when it gets faster, it seems to hurt more… hmmm….

Hope I am not the only one with this kinda interpretation for this piece. I guess art itself is very subjective. It is seen differently and judged differently by each individual people.

For example, the song "Starry Starry Night". Beautiful and romantic. Deep down, its such a sad song about Vincent van Gogh…the impression it gave people is that..WOW! Such a romantic song…BUT, when u look at the lyrics, its sad…

Guess music is really a important thing, and it affects a person's feeling and mood.

It's Here!!!


Finally.

Football is back!! Last weekend saw lotsa interesting results.

Sunderland have a dream start against Totteham. Last minute sucker punch. Roy Keane mus be over the moon now. Let's see how long both Black Cats and his luck will run out…

Newcastle did well, against all odds. Man City was the surprise, a perfect job on 1st day of the season. Seriously, I dun expect them to do well, regardless of Thai money or not.

Liverpool had a tough time with Martin O'Neil's Aston Villa. A brilliant free kick seals the 3 points.(hope this is the beginning of something beautiful).

Arsenal's young squad showed how determined they are. Fighting from a horrible mistake from their old fart Lehman…

Birmingham simply dun give a fuck about Chelsea and scoring at will, although not picking up any points in the end. Good fight.

Reading showed they are not the whipping boys and hold the arrogant united to goalless draw, with 10 men. Well done.

Next Sunday is the first big match, Liverpool hosting Chelsea…let's see what happens…Thank god football is back!

NDP 2007


The parade/celebration was a major one yesterday.

First time in Marina area..the public...the human traffic.. it's like in a sea of red yesterday.

The parade looks beautiful from the Suite. It's amazing what we can see up there versus what was shown on TV... Everyone enjoyed themselves, lotsa Moet & Chandon going around and lotsa laughter and small talks.

The issue of the day was getting to/fro from Marina area...estimated 150,000 and more people at Marina...(this side of the island is sinking!!!)...

Still, I am sure it was lotsa fun for alot of people out there last night. For me, the highlight of the night was having the fireworks shooting right up to my eye level with a right-smack-in-your-face view and Moet & Chandon in hand... amazing shit...

Missing For 3 Weeks


It's been 3 weeks since I last wrote something.

Went back to annual summer camp for 2 weeks…now struggling with work and other stuffs.(thus had been missing). It's now reaching the peak of things at work..full steam now..hope it will slow down by Dec…

1 more million…jus 1 more million...

Lotsa changes since than..some good, some not.

These stuffs below helped me survive the past 3 weeks :

Linkin Park : Minutes to midnight (bloody good stuffs!)
Katie Melua : Call off the Search (great music, beautiful voice)
MIKA : Life in cartoon motion
PSP
Dune by Frank Herbert
Wired magazine
Famitsu
Cigarettes
Coffee

I have to take care of the money plant on my table for this week…and I totally forgotten about it, not watered it for 2 days in a row!! Ran to 7-11, bought a bottle of Evian and start feed the little fellow…money money..come my way…

Tomorrow is Singapore's 42nd Birthday…gonna be a busy day for me as well…and get myself caught in the human traffic here at Marina, how exciting!!!

For me, NDP is more of a big wayang show than a real celebration. My ideal celebration would be…on that day…every Singaporean in Singapore, at 8pm, jus step out of which ever building they are at, look up in the sky..and the fireworks goes off with music through the whole island. It can be seen at any corner of Singapore. This, to me would than be a real "Whole Nation Celebrates". Every Singaporean, whichever corner you are in Singapore, together as one…

Let Go?


It's really hard to let go, even for awhile.

When the trust is not there, things can get really difficult and put someone on the edge everyday.

I guess it kinda makes me worry now…it can be good and bad. 2 sides of a coin.

It makes me tired, cos I cannot let go. Yet, it makes me wanna let go of it all and just "fuck it". I never thought that this would be upon me..it's just so not me…guess it's passion?

Sigh. Just pray nothing happens in the next 14 days...

A lot more "cold' jokes last night…

A gal next to me was like non-stop on the phone via SMS…the guy infront of me cannot stop shaking his legs(wearing Man U jersey), the one 2 tables away cannot stop asking idiotic questions…sick people… Singaporeans are really one kind.

Completed step 2…proceeding to step 3…this is really taxing…

I am someone who hates calssroom… and worst still..tests… but, I dun have a choice for this…

Gonna be another mad rush tonight…a breatherv tomorrow and another rush on Saturday..then follow by 2 weeks worth of jungle…

I am so impatient to get the necessary done now…oohh…my desired princess…come to me quick...

First Step


Last evening, went for the first of the many steps towards the goal.

As I was travelling in the train…It went past my goal's habitat…it look so so beautiful..so clear with all the windows and bright…she is just in there..waiting for me… It's like a motivational factor for me, to drive me on.

I am very tempted to pay a visit soon, even without the plans in place...

Upon reahcing the "school"..it looks like immigration building..so many people so busy...

There are really lotsa weird people in class..and so so so typical… Singaporeans! What can I say?!(I dun even wanna repeat the incidents...)

The worst thing is…the lecturer was "giving away" COLD FREEZING JOKES….can die…

Now, on to step 2...

Violence Is Not Necessary



Watched Pan's Labyrinth over DVD last weekend.

Great stuffs…BUT…the violent…! The part that this guy's mouth got cut open with a knife..ARGHHED!!!! The violent is totally unacceptable and unnecessary…I will faint to such scenes…

Still great movie and great directing. Costume designs are stunning. Fairy tales does exist in this world…? Check out the DVD. Worth it!

Lost all my fortune over 2 weekends in Monopoly games…total bankruptcy…

Died numerous times being Ryu…

Defeated too many times as Shu…

What's happening…nothing seems to be working out…

It does not help that I will be going for Military Summer Camp again come next Monday… MGS Portable Ops, Frank Hubert, Isaac Asimov hopefully will help me past that 2 weeks. Oh! Not forgetting Cigis and coffee!!

Gonna miss some nonsense for that 2 weeks...

Photo : Japanese wedding ceremony. Great efforts and lotsa details...(Thought the photo will look better in Black & White...but than again, might look a little like horror movie if it is...)

Fatal Attraction


I have been "missing" for weeks. Long time. Work is really taking up all possible time that I had and white hair seems to be sprouting out too...stress...pressure... but still, there is always time for a "new love"!

On this new love, like Keeve said.."This is a Fatal Attraction"

I am in this mode now. And I am gonna do something that I never thought that I would. It shock me too. A lot of my friends were shock as well, cos I was so strong with my opinions and then suddendly, I changed my thoughts.

Ha Ha! What can I say, I totally fell in love with It. And I will do whatever I can to own it. I am working hard towards it. Let see what happens in the next 18 months…I do hope I can achieve it. It's love at first sight, I think.

Some were telling me, there are many other nicer ones around! Not to me. I never was interested and into any of it, untill I saw "her"…she came along and made my heart pound day and night...

Amazing… Friends who know me well will know that, whatever catches my fancy, and when I have made up my mind to own it, I will. At least I have a goal to work on!

It is really a Fatal Attraction...

Life Revolves Around Work?


I have been really busy of late and don't have time to write anything…

Got a little better today…but it will pick up again!

The only thing I am surrounded with now are work, work, work.(It sets me thinking…Work? Is it really all there is? Just work? Sigh. Life can be better. Let's put it this way, it's just work. The company don't need me. What they need are the things I am handling. Everyone is expandable. Even CEOs)

I am looking forward to Wimbledon, which already started…Also thinking of getting a massage…to relax and remain sane…

Gonna try and see if I can spare more time later this week…it's hell here...

Colour Spaces


Recently read about a office move of a particular software developer in Japan. The report shows some of the office space and designs. Beautiful, colourful and lively.

I was fortunate enough to visit alot of different companies before(Locally or overseas). It's always a experience to see different companies' design, layout and colour themes.

The more interesting ones I have seen are from event companies, Art & Design firms. Microsoft's office looks amazing too!

The colours and surrounding of your little "Kingdom" will make you look forward to work everyday!

How I wish I have an opportunity to work in such a enviroment. Colours! Life! It's a little too serious and corporate here. Not that I am complaining, but I always loves colours and art..

Willpower and Endurance


I have been doing battle with Willpower and Endurance level for the past 2 weeks.

2 months back, I bought a new pair of leather shoes and it took me 7 working days to tame it. The back of the shoe caused abrasion which result in serious pain when walking. Endured thru the pain and agony…by the 7th day…the shoes gave in and it fits comfortably now.

3 weeks back, I bought another pair of leather shoes. This time, it took me 10 working days to tame it. It is feeling comfortably now. Not perfect, cos my legs are recovering, but good enough.

I dunno if it's just me or happen to a lot of men out there.

The only kinda shooes that will not make me "work" for it are sports shoes.

Couple of Irritants


There's this really irritating "couple" who are always waiting for the same bus with me every morning.

The lady looks like she's in her late 30s and the man is in his late 40s. It's pretty obvious that the man is trying so so hard to get close to her, courting her even. She seems to be enjoying the attention from him.

The man is always dressed in cargo pants, badly worn out construction worker boots, T-shirts of many different companies(looks like that kinda T-shirts given to companies employees during family day etc etc). The lady is dressed from head to toe with This-Fashion clothing. Very Jiu-Hu infact…

A little mismatch at first. But after looking at them for so long, they look like a match made in heaven.

It's obvious the lady loves attention and loves young men. I caught her admiring at a few young men at the bustop.

The man MUST sit with her when they board the bus. With a slight sighting of the bus, he would rushed to the edge of the curb, stand at the "prime" position and wait for the bus. He must be the first to board, and find 2 empty seats that can accommodate him and his lovely This-fashion girlfriend.

If they are separated with different seats in the bus, he will be all jumpy and agitated. When someone moves or alight, he would quickly move to the empty seats and asked his girlfriend over.

It's like a comedy every morning. And turns to irritation.

End of 20s


Happy Birthday, Miffy!

End of another 12 months cycle, moving forward to the next.

Youthful and joy will always be with you.

Gonna miss your lips when you moved behind me next week. And I am not an owl, I cannot turn my head all the way to see you pout your lips!

A big hug and lotsa love from Jack. Enjoy your special day!

Sickos


I cannot understand the thoughts and behavior of some people.

Their "narrow mind", "their petty heart".

For some people, they deem theselves as successful individuals or their partners as THE MOST successful person. They love to compare and compete among their own group of friends. When someone does "This"..they will have to do it too, and will have to be bigger and better!

Where's the logic? Why compare? For What? To Prove you are better?

If you are indeed better, you dun need to prove it, people will tell you.

Not only that, they gossip among themselves and backstab each other. Please remember, theses are all friends I am talking about. Imagine, a bunch of…say..7 friends, they are so called "Good", "Better" "Best" friends. They are so so friendly and "close" to each other, they laugh and joke.

BUT, Friend 1 will talk bad about Friend 2 to Friend 3. Then Friend 1 will talk bad about Friend 3 to Friend 4. Also, Friend 3 wil talk bad about Friend 2 to Friend 4. Friend 4 will bitch about Friend 1 to Friend 2…the cycle goes on and on and on…(they are all good friends, please remember).

Again, where's the logic?

What?! Ya, like that. This bunch of clowns are really. Some of the worst possible human beings I came across.

There are just so so so many more incidents and examples from these bunch of fools, the more I though about about it, the more sick I felt. Really, trust me, you ain't seen anyone like this...

I am thankful I am not their "friends".

Whenever I attend something they organise, I will sit back, enjoy the show and laugh to myself.

Good friend are hard to come by and we MEN dun do this to our fellow male good friends.

Ya, the above story is about a bunch of women. With limited brains cells I would say. No heavenly bodies as well within any of their possession. So not bimbos.

Ha!

Roland Garros 2007



Watched the Roland Garros women and men's final over the weekend.

It was an interesting contrast and pretty exciting match.

Justine Henin demolished the young Anna Ivanovic 6-1, 6-2 on Saturday. I felt a little disappointed for Anna Ivanovic, a young gal, full of hope and bright future, fumbles at the final. Not able to even mount a challenge and force Henin. Justine Henin is simply too experienced and seasoned for this young gal.

Yesterday's final was more interesting.

Rafael Nadal meeting Roger Federer again. The widely expected final for this year's French Open.

Nadal destroyed Federer's historic Grand Slam dream for another year by capturing his third successive French Open.

It was exciting with Nadal taking down the first set and Federer the second. The third set proved to be the all important one, with Ndadal securing it, and moving on to lift the trophy after the 4th set.

I felt very happy that Nadal won(nothing against Federer), as the crowd favorite is the world number 1, Federer. There were very little cheers and support for Nadal at the final. However, it grew louder as Nadal play some beautiful tennis! Great job!

Good stuffs!

Elites and Vermins


Keeve mentioned in one of his previous blog entry about the "Elites" and the "Loosers". I dun think looser was the term Keeve used, but we shall call them Vermins here.

I have to say, the vermins are really really ridiculous.

In my environment here, we have a very distinct line drawn between the Elites and the Vermins. When I say "distinct line drawn", I dun mean, we dun talk to them, we walk past them without seeing them etc etc. We are cordial to them. Some of us even lunched with the vermins everyday. It just the clean and precise seperation of Elite and Vermins, results sometimes speaks louder than words.

We have very few Vermins here. Mostly Elites. Well, not to sound big headed or arrogant, but people who are here, are only the Elites. If you are not an Elite, you probably dun belong here. Somehow, there are still few of these Vermins breeding and surviving among us Elites.

One of them pissed me off totally today. Big time.

I am EXTREMELY UPSET at that person's competency level and judgement. This person simply does not belong here, the only reason is, the person's eyes are blue. That's it.

I shall not go into details about the whole thing, but all I can say is, this Vermin is really useless. Absolutely no measurement for his/her incompetency level. They are gonna get it sooner or later. And you know what, I dun give a shit about this person, and I have tolerated enuff. One more time, he/she is gonna get it straight in the face from me.

Here, we have 3 types of class :

1) Elites
2) Vermins
3) Blue Eye Vermins

Most Vermins are gone, now only left with the blue eye vermins.

Salute!


The preparation is going underway for this year's National Day parade.

It's gonna be the first time this cdelebration is taking place "on the water". Right on top of a floating platform at the bay front.

Halfway thru work today, all the military commands and music were all over the air. Being a kayp, I took a look at the window and saw the practise going on for some of the parade.

Well, guess it's gonna be a huge celebration, with fireworks and all at the bay.

I cannot understand the excitement of going to the National Day Parade…I really cannot...

Chain of Thoughts


This morning, It's my turn to energize the "Gold Standard of the Day".

I usually do not do preparation work for this, just hit out whatever I have in mind. Was the desired results always achieved? I dunno.

So I was thinking of what to address the department this morning…and from the "Promise"..my thoughts spinned off to the "Credo", the "Motto" etc etc…and somehow, my thoughts landed on "men" who are better at "ruling", "managing" loves "excitement" and "challenge"… than their counterparts "women"… (I am still trying to figure out how my chain of thoughts ended up there…)

Men.

Majority of rulers, presidents, kings, CEOs are male. Somehow, men are better in doing "big" things compared to women. One of the main reason I can think of is the "emotional" factor.

Women tends to let their emotions get in the way, clouded their perception and affect their judgement calls. Whereas men, the only distraction for us are probably "breasts"…

Men loves excitement as well. Sports for example. The kinda excitement they get out of it…it's huilarious to a lady…

Men also love the excitement in pursuing things that they have difficulty or needs a lot of effort and challenge getting, be it valuable items or women of a certain nature. Dun you find it exciting "getting" a woman who gave you so much resistance initially?? The problem is, after achieving "her", we tend to "throw" her aside and look for new challenges.

Hahah!! Men!

Well, I am sure some people are gonna murder me for making such statements. Well, I cannot help it, I am born a man!!!(I think next life, I will probably be a prostitute.)

2nd Home


Was moving and clearing stuffs from my work area this morning.

I get this "stroke" of clearing my area every once in a while. I did not plan for it. When it happens and my system tells me "Jack, let's do it", I will drop everything and start cleaning.

After clearing..I have some stuffs that I need to bring home...

24 Season 4 DVD
24 Season 5 DVD
Prison Break Season 1 DVD
1 Korean Movie DVD
4 Pairs of shoes
2 Neck Ties
1 Pants
1 Novel
Half a packet of (at least 3 months old) cigis
1 Pair of cufflinks
1 Watch
1 Travel bag

Dun ask me how did I manage to have all these at my work area... It beats me as well...

This place is like my second home...

JackRedDough


News Flash! News Flash!

Ok, not so great stuffs anyway.

Check out my new "dough" blog, titled JackRedDough.(See the link on your right of this blog...)

It's not about all food and beverages. it's gonna be focusing on Bread, cakes, donuts etc... Cos, Jack have this love/obsession for food of that category...

I have been hesitating to open up this food blog, cos there are already so many food related blogs out there(Keeve had his food blog too!)..dun wanna do the redundant and labeled as a follower/copycat of the crowd...

But, heck, since UsagiKiller have this love of bread too, might as well share our enjoyment to all who is interested too!(Dun expect to see Loh Mee, Laksa, Prawn Noodle in it...)

So, if you love bread and dough stuffs, hop in and see what's baking!

Jack will try his best to update it as often as possible...

Returns


I guess one of the highest compliments one can get in this line of job would go something like these…

"Jack, If you are not around, we will never do xxx with your company again. You cannot go on leave, if you do, then we postpone the xxx, untill you come back.”

“Jack, you better dun leave the cmpany, if you do, your company can forget about biz from us.”

“Please ask Jack to call me back, I only wanna speak to Jack”

Might not mean a lot to many people. But to me, that kinda meant a lot…the achievement and satisfaction all comes from comments like such above...The returns for hard work, sometimes years of it...

Somehow, there’s this thing about challenging people and their foundness of Jack...

Fuckerella


OK, "Fuckerella"~pronouced as "Fucker-re-la" is derived from Cinderella.

Somehow, someone from my former work place just came out with this word..and it got stuck with me ever since.

Used it quite often and have forgotten that not many people will know what it means...

So someone asked me just.."what is fuckerella?"

Than it reminded me...ahh...that!!

Fuckerella can be used on male and female the same. For example, when you called someone "you fucker!" That would usually mean, that person is a man and is such an asshole. Thus earning him the title of "fucker".

When you wanna call a lady "fucker", it somehow seems unappropriate... so, that's when the word "Fuckerella" comes into use. Of cos, you can use it on a man as well, it just elevates the man's status to gay.

So, enjoy using fuckerella.

Lucky Bastard


Today is kinda lucky for me.

I was on my way back to offce after getting a haircut...and I spotted something that stands out on the ground of the busy street...

It's money. On the floor, where so many people are walking past every other second and nobody seems to notice it.

So obviously, being the poorest soul on earth, i approached the money, It smiled at me begging for ownership...

I picked it up and was shock that nobody bother about it...cos, it's US$100.

So, I am US$100 richer today! Thank you god and whoever..

Blue Dragon


The first RPG for the new generation finally hits upon us…

I would have to praise Microsoft for what they did to this game.

They translate the game from Japanese to English/Chinese/Korean within 5 months from the Japanese release for the Asia market. The Europe and America region will have to wait till end of this year. A full Year late from Japanese release..

With the Asian version, they kept the Japanese voive over intact, with subtitles of English or Chinese. Great job Microsoft.

With Hironobu Sakaguchi creating and spearheading this project, Akira Toriyama's character desogn and Nobuo Uematsu's composed music..many would think that this game cannot go wrong. Indeed, it does not disappoint. It's amazing infact.(comes in 3 DVDs!!)

High Definition graphics, addictive combat, deep character growth, interesting story line, amazing and haunting music..and a song sung by Ian Gillan..it's really a great job done. Creativity unleashed.

Was so so anticipating the experience that I bought the Japanese manga during it's release in Japan..amazing art by Takeshi Obata(Death Note fame).

Guess another 60 hours of time wasting on this experience...

Percy Pig and Pals


I have this thing for soft gummy.

The one thing I can never resist is "Percy Pig and Pal" from Marks & Spencer...

Percy of cos being the pig..and his 2 pals, sheep and cow...

For a soft gum addict like me, finnishing the whole pack within 5 mins is normal... When I am feeling no good, moody or stressed..soft gum helps...

Carousel Cafe


After high recommendation from someone to Carousel Café(newly renovated) for their buffet spread, I finally had a chance over the weekend to try out their high-tea.

Well, the one and only thing I am looking forward to is their bread and butter raisin pudding over at the dessert counter. The former restaurant have really good bread and butter pudding. So, I am hoping that dun go with the renovation.

Ok, the atmosphere of the "new" restaurant ain't so bad, but that's it.

The spread is pretty good, but lack real quality. It's basically, Quantity, no Quality. The food were totally nothing to wow about.

At least they are using Luzerne New Bone for their plates and cups. It's a habit of mine of sorts, whenever I step into a restaurant, I would always flip the plates, cups, over and see what they are using. Luzerne aint bad…(I saw a particular Hotel~claimed themselves as 6 stars grand hotel~using Ikea cups in the room. Totally unacceptable. Not even the cheapest of the lot, Nikko…let alone seeing a Narumi...)

Ok, the pudding is still good…and I had enuff to stop my craving for awhile…

Mini Twister



Half way thru work, I notive the above scene appeared just off the shore of Singapore…

It's a first time for me seeing something like this…

It's like a mini "twister" moving across a small spot, with rain hitting on where it goes to..the surrounding are clear..

Nature is really interesting…yet scary...

I Know, U Dunno!!


Some people are so so impossible.

When they think they know about things, and think and thought they have done some things, where infact they have and did not.

Confusing?

Well..that could some up this kinda person.

Confuse. Disorganised.

When such disorganised people do stuffs, it's all over the place and it's chaotic. Worst, if these kinda people deal with others who are steady and know what's going on. The steady kinda people, with one look, they can access the situation and know what's ahead. But with those that are confused…they simply refuse to accept it.

They think they have everything under control and perceive the other party as "not knowing what's going on". In true fact, these fools are the lost lambs.

I simply cannnot tahan these SAS people…(SAS..Stupid Act Smart).

Of cos, with people who know whats happening and are prepared, they will not have much questions. But to those SAS, no questions means you do not know what's happening…

Bwahahahaahahahahah!!!

All I can say is, everyone is sitting down, and watching you act out your stupidity and displaying your "excellent" organisational skill…

Haha!! Joke.

With Hope In Your Heart...



Back from licking the wounds of the Mighty Reds failing to lift the 6th European title…

With all the wannabes kocked out(Man U, Chelsea etc etc), the whole world are watching 2 of Europe best football teams battle it out. Atmosphere were fantastic. But for the Reds supporters, only 1 word sums it up.

Disappointing.

Reds were just not good enuff on that night. Milan have only 1 chance in the first 45mins, and they scored with a deflection off Inzaghi's arm. 2nd half, Reds defense went to sleep for a slipt second and that's all Milan need to secure their 7th title. With so so many chances for Reds, they just could not finish it.

"you'll never walk alone" was in full voice during the closing stage of the match, even when all hopes are gone. This shows one thing.

Loyalty and passion from the Kops.

Chelsea and Man U, that is something money and diving cannot buy. Ever.

It's obvious what will top the gaffer's summer purchases list for next season.

Move on and better for next year. Looking forward to another AC Milan Vs Liverpool Champions League Final for 2007/8 season!!

You'll Never Walk Alone


When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone


The build up and anticipation for tonight's main event is killing me..My whole heart is already in Athens now...

Tomorrow this time..I will either be Singing or Crying...

Banana Bin...


Another departure.

Sad. #10.

Tides are changing.

New era and new direction.

New blood, new challenges.

Casualties are expected.

Quitters and loosers dun have a place.

Fighters stay and fight.

When the sun rises tomorrow, it's another new day, another new challenge.

Move on.

Ladies Dun Like Ultraman..?


There I was, enjoying my cigi at this "smoking spot" in Raffles Place and spacing out.

2 Sexy Gorgeous ladies approached me. Really reall Sexy and Gorgeous.

"Hiya, can we borrow a light?"

(oh shit, came to my mine…)

"Absolutely" I said, sounding confident and cool.(was nervously thinking of my lighter…)

I presented the lighter to them…and they go..

"Oh…! Ha!" Smiled and laughed.

They stared at the lighter for awhile after using it and smile again…

Arghhed!! I think a St Dupont lighter will do the trick…arghhed!!

Think Thought Thoughts


I have been saying this for the past 2 weeks.

"People dun bother to think with their brains, before opening their mouths."

Think. Just Think abit more, before making statements and also saying stupid things that dun make sense. Seems like most of the time, words come out before going thru their brains.

You may think that it's correct and nothing wrong with what you say. You may even think that is smart of you. But think a little more, you will find that it's totally stupid and shows a lot about you and your judgement.

Sigh. I would have kept quiet if It's me. Work on the negatives and make it straight. Take the challenges face on, conquer it, not start making stupid statements and even excuses.

The whole think does not impact me, but I just find it unbelievable. I am actually having a good laugh and pity that dumb soul...

Anticipated Let Down


An extremely boring and disappointing FA Cup Final last weekend.

I was so looking forward to 2 self proclaim BEST TEAMS in the world playing against each other. Especially in the new Wembly Stadium.Everyone is so looking forward to this final. "No better teams to show case this final"~some fool were quoted as saying… (It's a far cry in comparision to the first FA Cup final played out of England(Wembly), in Cardiff, in 2000/2001. Between Arsenal and Liverpool)

In the end? Boring like fuck.

With an unsportsmanship claim from Ryan Giggs for a goal when it was NOT a goal. Over all, it's a huge let down, and does not match up to the pre-game hype and expectations. Yawnnn…..

(Who can forget last year's amazing, exciting, unbelievable FA Cup final between 2 "LOW" teams?)

Infact, the semi-final match between Nadal and Hewitt over the next channel was much more exciting. It decides who will meet Roger Federer in the final on Sunday. Nadal(personal favorite) the clay court expert(world #2) versus Roger Federer(World #1) is a exciting prospect. Well, the final was last night and Roger Federer came up tops.

It's gonna be hell of a week… The build up to this Thursday's epic final between 2 of Europe's Finest in football is driving me nuts…maybe it's gonna be as disappointing a match as the FA Cup? Maybe it's gonna be a unforgettable night for fans of either side? Let's see if this year, the Milan fans will turn to support the Reds again like 2005(when Reds were on the brink of a 3-0 come back, Milan fans unexpectedly cheered on the Reds. They too wanna see history and football of a different kind)…

Really hoping for a crunching Final this Thursday...
