God blesses the fella who are responsible for making blogs popular. It's really interesting reading people's thot in their blogs... some people amaze me with their thot that otherwise left unspoken. some people are actually clueless but they thought they know something. some people mask their post half-heartedly. too shy to reveal all out but too passionate to hide it. some people strip themselves naked with their posts but.. they didn't know. and some people are consistently subtle with their writing. and some people are persistently naive. but generally, blogs tell stories that otherwise left hidden. like.. how much i want to see you. =) and i always love the fact how some people thot they know who "you" are. or the silly fact how i thot that no one knows. like.. how I saw Caeli today at TPY MRT. Oh goodness.. she stays here. Of all places! Is that destiny or DESTINY? =P

The Measure of a Man..

I haven't read about this in detail but unless a HUGE conspiracy took place and it was all bluff.. then.. yeah.. goodbye Pak Harto. I am not sad because after all, we know that he was no angel. But if I have to choose to be sad, then I would choose to be sad over his death, and not someone who I only got to know thru movies. In Pak Harto, for all his crimes, we have an ex-president who truly measures up to other great leaders in other countries. Surely no one after him was big enough to fill his shoes. Great leaders are not always good men. Great politicians are seldom saints. You may not love them for who they are. But you should at least respect them for what they have done. Critics will try hard to prove that Suharto has done more harm than good to Indonesia but as the guy in Ratatouille said (oh gosh.. I am in danger of using his quote too much): "it's free to criticise.." And no one of those critics have actually done anything much for our country- not that I kno...

S-Pop

S-pop has been improving tremendously over the past few years. While Sg Idol has often been mocked for its lack of quality as compared to other countries' idol show, I thought Project Superstar has actually been good enough for the more forgiving ears of Chinese songs audiences. And the show has produced some talents, in my opinion. If you always have to compare Kelly Poon with Kelly Clarkson, then probably you will forever live your days envying others. As for me, I prefer to appreciate our own Asian talents for what they have. Kelly Poon- Project Superstar

Ignite

another weekend without viewing but went to Ignite conference and was so greatly blessed. To begin with, the host, Heart of God Church, were excellent. They were so warm that Anton couldn't stop talking about them. They made me realise how far we were falling behind in this caring department. Oh and they are also much nicer than *the other church* heh. Joachim Lundqvist (not sure bout spelling), is a charismatic speaker with tons of awesome testimonies. But that nite.. I suppose many left the conference thinking about his story about Sara, the girl with cancer. This girl was a new believer, she was on fire. But not long after she received Christ, she was diagnosed with cancer. When Joachim called her, intending to console her, this is what she had to say, "Ok, the Bible says God can heal me. But even if I die, I’ll take as many with me to Heaven as possible." Her group became one of the most radical in Sweden, reaching individual students 10 times as often as the national...

Twins..

I have always liked Charlene Choi of Twins (girl group of two from HK, but they are not twin).. I forgot the first movie that got me hooked on her but I thought she was really sweet. But I am now watching a wuxia series and Gillian Chung (Charlene's partner in Twins), and I was like.. Woah.. Gillian is not bad either. A bit of Chae Rim in her. I guess I always have this soft spot for girls in wuxia costume. Anyway, Gillian offscreen is not THAT adorable. But at the end of the day, I guess I will still settle for Charlene. There's something about her that.. well u know. That's her in Kungfu Dunk with A Jay. I am so gonna watch that movie. So the conclusion is.. er.. I think I begin to like Twins.

....

it's one song that answers the Why, What, How, and When of my interest in Jay Chou. so obvious that it was never posted on this blog. coz my regular karaoke partners all know that this is "my song". and this is also the song that won me 100 bucks voucher heh. and that voucher was of great use, if you notice my new black bag. to me this song is ingenious because it touches every sensitive part in me and at any given time, it is able to bring out the melancholy in you. so anyway..

LKY

If you got last Saturday's newspaper..and haven't read thru it.. grab it and read the Lee Kuan Yew's article. Coz I think its one of the most interesting articles I have read in the last few days. And I learn a couple of valulable things from him. A great man indeed.

Rainie - Breathless

OST of Why Why Love Havent watched the serials but I guess it can't be much different from "Devil Besides You".. even the three main stars are the same heh. And you can tell she will end up with Mike He even before watching. So.. yeah.. that kinda kill off the need to watch the drama.

Miss you.. CDD

Went over to "that building" today, to refund them my bonus.. And it reminds me of how glad I am that I no longer need to face that "office smell".. that large corporate atmoshphere.. I dunno.. Then the HR girl asked me if I wanted to visit my ex-colleague. So I took up her offer and there I was. At the 19th floor. It felt kinda sweet.. making my way to my still empty cubicle. And LS, my nice neighbour, in the most familiar way, look up and she was like.. "Daviddd...." Warm as ever. As if it was an ordinary office day. As if I never left. And she just sms-ed me tonite, telling me it was nice to see me today. Well.. so did I, LS. I am missing my neighbour ^^ She has also picked up my habit of buying "bao" for breakfast heh. And KL now become her entertainment, coz I used to be the one amusing her with my nonsense. Seems like I had some "impact" after all. And in short while, CK and SC also noticed my presence and man.. I dunno if they re...

Haircut

Finally went to Shunji Matsuo today. And confidently, I told the girl who attended to me that I wanted Michelle. Michelle is the cute stylist I have been promoting all the time. So the reception girl asked me to sit and Michelle came. Gasped.. Double gasped.. Michelle is NOT the cute stylist who cut my hair last time. That cute stylist's name is NOT Michelle. And that cute stylist was nowhere to be seen. So how did I come up with that name? The real Michelle was kinda puzzled as well coz she must have realised that she never saw me before. So why was I so sure of asking for her? Nevermind, coz she resumed her duty and we negotiated on the hair style. So she went away for a while. And that is THE MOMENT... that I turned my head and saw this familiar petit figure standing behind me. I must be sux with this kinda MOMENT.. everytime! Should have looked cool, and asked her if she would be my hair stylist. Instead I looked like a lost man and stared at her hopelessly. She was amused. She...

Jay Chou- the longest movie

it feels like the longest movie.. you, you decide my heartbreak, but me, I decide your lingering presence.. and no one else can tell me to end this. not even you.. you said you would cry, but not because you care. i said i would let go, but not because i have moved on. it feels like the longest movie..

Minna no Uta

Dun ask what these songs are about.. ^^ this one is especially nice.. love the girl's voice. so.. japanese =) this one is by Hanaku Oku- she sang Garnet, OST of 'girl who leapt thru time'.

2008

First post in 2008. KL was okay. Never too fond of the city but then.. to be staying in a hotel where the fireworks is literally stonethrow away is quite an experience. To be staying in such a nice hotel for free and coached around on a nice car by a nice driver is a treat. And to be with your family is a blessing. Also, glad to know that I don't have to endure the stupid spraying stuff we have been seeing in Singapore for the last 2-3 yrs. So.. 2008. I have expectations, resolutions.. but I am still lacking one final touch- the GOALs. And it's something I need to work out with the Master Planner. What of 2007? It has been a great year. A turning point. An awakening. Five months with the environment folks. Three great books: Who Moved My Cheese, The Present, and Wild at Heart. One free soul.. I was set free from many immature and shallow thoughts I used to have. I was set free from many trivial things I used to believe that I need. And I was set free to see from the right persp...
