Funny Clips

The Legend of Modern Aladin

Just a simple clip =) Don't question how the story flows; I don't know either. Just laugh your way to the loo!



Some fun before the shoot!



Basically, some fun here but still are things that can be improved on. Speculate for future productions! =)

Busy bee!

Have been quite busy lately despite being jobless. No extra cash but all the time and fun. But this lifestyle is not going to last for long - I've more or less found a job, just waiting for the interview to clear.

Daniel's here for 3 weeks, plus a trip up north are the main factors for being so time-packed. Last week, we went aboard the Ducktour! First and probably the only one. It was indeed as interesting as the way it's marketed. And what's more interesting is - Nisa's our tour guide for the day! Both of us were shocked so see each other at an unlikely place, and yea, followed by a big hug.

Daniel, and me, on a warcraft used in vietnam in WWII, touring the city in both land and water.

Merlion Park, and the world's tallest hotel.

Genting

Aboard and abroad. That's as easy as ABC because it's so convenient - just a bus ride away! Last Sunday, dad mum and me went ahead as planned for a short getaway. Same place, but different people. A 4D3N trip, unusually long, but that's with a trip down to Kuala Lumpur for a shopping spree which mum loves it. I brought back home nothing but memories. Some places we went were those we've been to about five years ago. Like the one below, Berjaya Times Square. Not much changes though. It's still the same KL City Centre.

Times Square and the monorail track (Which coincidentally broke down when we needed it most. And at the time of evening rush hour, heavy road congestions were seen.)

Dreamz Show - some sort of circus featuring white tigers, lions, and some puppies.

Not just that, its catchphrase included 'defying gravity' which later featured stunts like 'flying man', '360° flying bikes' and magician cutting up a live person. Gross, looked like real, but it's not. Sadly not a single photo shoot was allowed, except for preshow (above).

On our way home, we were given an ultra-luxury WTS coach ride for the next 6 hours! The bus was said to be just two months old, and I loved the leather smell! (a.k.a new car smell). The coach features aircraft-style cocoon sleepers, old-school games like pacman, and many other movies.

HOW COOL CAN THAT BE?!

Simply OMG!!!

How I wish I could have just one-tenth of it. haha!

Revived!

One old laptop, many new parts.

New RAM ($78), new Hard Disk($100+), New LCD (est$800-$1200), new touch pad ($?).

All for FREE! Thank you Thinkpad manufacturer. Thanks for coming to my house and had my slowpoke darling fully revived. It's now 10x faster than the slowest point in history. Screen is crystal clear too!

Respect begets respect.

LIFE LEGACY

Well, what's life?

Life is perhaps the most wonderful prototype a human can get. Without life, there is no wonder. Because life itself creates tonnes of wonders the nature can co-exist. It's been the legacy from nowhere till somewhere far we can never see. Some call it a development, some call it destruction; whichever the case, it's still the improvements we're talking about, so that we all can enjoy.

Life is rather driven by the surroundings. Sometimes one can confidently say 'I drive my life', but in fact and seriously it is too easy said than done. A mother's smile can get the baby craw further; a carol sang by everyone warms every heart; and even at the deathbed of your dear kin, the feeling of loss can subside after a big warm hug. Indeed, in life we are all dependants. We love people and in return, we hope people will love us back. That's all because no one is by himself, no man's an island; for a clap will always take two hands. Exception to those who can drive his own life, a round of applause. I salute. Otherwise, I know I'm like the rest who can't live in the world of my own. In fact, there's no such world. But I am the stimulus, so are you.

My dream world for everybody is one that is filled with love. No hatred, grudges, immorality, unethicality or conditioned love. Stop the blame, for it will never end. Smile, go and never look back, for life has better things to catch up on. Had your catch, turn around and look back at how sacred things were, for it had never been that easy to fish. Future is the world, if the present makes a story for a bleak past.

Life is a journey, a long long journey. Forgive and forget, and a better day will come. So what's with pushing a car that will never move? So what, change a car then. Hiking with a swollen feet? Rest or heal, and go on. I shouldn't repeat this once more: life is very vulnerable and unpredictable. The next moment royalty comes; or next, life falls. Things are constantly changing, so is life. So, create love and give love, as far as possible, for you might not get another chance for it.

- Just a simple story to show how much I care for the people around me, not at any expense or condition, and regardless of who you are, where you're from.

The abundance that ticks

Still unemployed. Still as bored as ever.

6 books at once is the answer.

1. The Greater Generation - In Defense of the Baby Boom Legacy (Leonard Steinhorn)
2. Depths (Henning Mankell)
3. Merdeka Square (Kerry B. Collison)
4. Golden Boy - Memories of a Hong Kong Childhood (Martin Booth)
5. The Process of Internationalization - Strategic, Cultural and Policy Perspectives
6. Crafting Marketing Strategy - To Improve Your Business & Profit (Dr Charlie In)

I feel loaded. Not cash wise though. 

I'M HOT

I'm fxxking warm. Not one with some hospitality.

But...

35°C

Even my hamsters avoided their running wheel. And instead of cuddling together for comfort, they've since been staying away from each other as far as possible, laying around like a tare panda. 

Neighbours' windows are mostly shut, because air-con is the only ice in the dessert. 

Grrr...

Damn pek chek.

SYF 09

SYF 09 was a killer. The judges were here to kill most of the bands. Gold bands got their silver, while the silver ones got their bronze. That was exactly the case, we felt. For the whole morning of 8th April, almost 80% of the participating schools were given bronze, and many done so consecutively. Swiss cottage band had been getting their Gold medal until now, a silver. Same goes to Commonwealth, just to name a few. Hillgrove wasn't bad - in fact they were good enough to have clinched a silver with their hard work. But a spade being a spade, the players should nonetheless still recognise it and work hard the next round. Just that the judges wanted to raise the local standard, that's all. I would only say, don't cry over spilled milk. Mr Ong has done his best, in fact much more hard work than the previous ones. I'm quite certain Mr Ong won't be allowed to recontract. So if that's the case, the alumni will vacate their already-cold seats too. It's just no point reviving an already dead pet. Unless the school changes its 'system', the status quo shall remain. I pity the few.

Insomnia

To fall asleep? That hasn't been much an easy task for the past one week, every night without fail. I would silently howl away after every glance at my digital watch seeing the changes by the hour, only to realise i'm still wide, wide awake. It irks me that both feets feels cold and clammy.

Habit dies hard - I'm still googling 'how to sleep well' to solve insomnia. As if it would help.

BOLD and (simply) NUTS

It is a school in a jungle with monkeys all over pointing fingers. That's all I could conclude. The younger ones hide, while the older ones lie atop them, collectively watching how the finger-system works. I couldn't believe there is a school in Singapore with extremely low morale in the staff. Are we too 'first world'? Or are their EQ too 'third world'? The top ones cover facts, the middle and lower ones suffer the process. Worse, so do the outside ones. It's just a system too rigid, albeit certainly nice on papers and appraisals. Everybody loves good appraisal, but is it a chore to be flexible? Material and realistic.

But I do understand the constraints of the poor few. I understand. No one owes another a living or two. So we shall stop the actions and give a halt to the induced one-way so-called 'interaction'. I shall stop providing the never-appreciated service. So will my team of loyal freaks. Not that I didn't want to clarify more, I was utterly wordless. I'm freaking disappointed.

Bukit Batok Street 52: a street of grief. I'll recover.

I Will Remember to Forget

Well, the title says it all. Yet again.

Or maybe trying hard to forget to remember. 

The fragrance, breeze, and the last quarter. Into the air they vanish.

The darkest bouquet ever. In the pink of recent memory.

Three Luxurious Weeks

Okay, exams are over and i still have been busy. Just one week after exam, I've been driving around in not one but three rented cars for seven straight days. Fun, fun and fun. Shouldn't it be that I should feel rich when whizzing around the town in these cars? Frankly the fact is I felt richer after the lease ended. The petrol cost has killed my lunches. HAHA. Serve me right. One SUV, one sedan, and a luxurious Mazda 6 in a flashy yellow paintwork. So for the past one week, almost every hour i'm active, except sleeps, in a car. We went fishing, late night supper, all the chores without the worry for the last bus or train.

One thing to note is that on one Sunday evening, my whole family went to Joo Chiat for dinner. Traffic jam gave us the surprised arrival kiss. The entire stretch of the road was jam-packed. Buses can't move, led to a standstill. We visited Parkway Parade for the first time since about 10 odd years ago, and finding a parking bay wasn't much an easy task. Seven storeys of carpark I had to drive all the way up, and upon realising no empty lot, down the hell again and up. Finally, parked, shopped but left within one hour for dinner. Not so interesting about it.

It was raining heavily, the visibility was really low. Everyone was cruising fucking slow. And after a few km, I was shocked to find one victim of a roadkill appeared right in front and underneath of our car. A poor carcass of a huge cat. CAT. Dead, and flattened. Immediately I applied the brake out of natural instinct, which nearly caused an accident at the back. Father screamed, not for the cat though, but for the accident-inducing action. I should've driven anyway and not stop in the middle of the road. So I did, which the car JERKED twice, because it has two left wheels. GOSH. Poor cat. It affected me so much that the Nyonya feast during the dinner was ruined. I felt highly guilty. Hmm... It led me to a series of thoughts. Talk to me..

Fri - Mon (Toyota 3-door SUV Rav4), Mon to thurs (Toyota Vios), Thurs and Fri (Mazda 6SP 2.3). The latter one has a huge engine, really powerful and comfortable. I belive those who have sat in that day share the same sentiments. A huge engine = huge hole in my pocket. Huge cost of petrol.

CityCat - One lady tried to flag me down from far, but shudders to say sorry with a wave is indeed the joke of the night. Does it really look like a cab?!

After one week of intensive driving, there came a backpacking trip to M'sia. It was intended for a gathering dinner at a restaurant in Ipoh, but cousin Leo and I went to other places as well. We flew to KLIA in just 40mins and visited the city once again for some food and sightseeing. That was Leo's first time at the Petronas twin tower. Sadly and again, we couldn't go up the the connecting bridge on the 44th floor. Visit my facebook for more photos!

And why luxurious weeks? I haven got myself a job for so long, rotting at home whenever vacant (as in not occupied).

Bell Rings!

Finally, school's over after three long, long years. Years of hard work will be affirmed on the cert. Yesterday, the whole lot of the final-exam candidates giggled with much relieve at the end of the last paper. It's just so great a feeling!!!

So here's the new blog skin. Simple and clean, but still, 'it's not that simple'. A spade is not just a spade. Many things just couldn't change, lest a fact that has weathered every element. Every single second it exists.

But what's there to fear when thinking back, it's the same old theory? Perhaps and again, time will tell.

Anyway, a belated happy birthday to myself! Thanks people for the elmo and bob-the-builder cakes =) It shows I'm still young! But then, nature tells me I'm no longer a teenager. No more an integer '1' as the prefix. Clearly it shows I'm older, but appearance wise... Better not boast too much.

True friends emerged. Would You Be There - by Redwan Ali.

A Glimpse of Hope

Well, the title says it all!

And I bought this phone! i780.

The dragonfly glides across the pond, to and fro, beautifully. And for as long as it's there to fly and touch the water, rings and rings of ripples would appear. It is beautiful always, indeed. But the ripple will go on, and on, until somewhere far... And perhaps back again.

Excavation needless, excellency sought. A spade is not just a spade.

Precognition uncalled for. But it rules.
