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...

On and On

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...

Photo : Keeve..very soon we will be like this 2 clowns...sigh!

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...
