..my battle stance..

this life is a series of bouts. endless one. which is exciting if you think about it. we do not always win. inevitably we will lose. and it sucks to lose. but here's the thing. we do not have to win all the fights. in fact.. we do not have to fight all the fights. in obsessing over the trivial losses (and most of them are trivial in the end).. we lose our focus on the few fights that really matter (only a few of them really matter in the end) all it takes is that one clean hit. the only thing i have in mind is that one strike. there is only one fight that matters at one time. that is the present. you may have lost countless bouts before. but this one fight, this one win- it can change everything. and after that.. you start all over again.  because there are still thousands bouts awaiting you.

In the midst of  'Our Times' fever (the OST in youtube has hit close to 30million viewers), I thought I would like to pay tribute to Crescendo instead. It's our local drama production. Oh my I just said 'our'. Yeah I love 93.3, I love TCS, and I love Mediacorp, as well as 8 Days! So Singaporean.. For sure Singapore's production can't quite match up to their Taiwan counterpart in many ways. To begin with, Taiwanese accent is just .. ugh. And of course, they have strong pedigree in romantic comedy genre.   But.. I love that flawed, homemade effort that is apparent in our local production. Sometimes they try too hard and that kinda turn me off. Like a singer trying to hit the high note and fall flat. But at times, they hit the balance right. Between playing safe and pushing a little bit beyond the boundary. Crescendo is one fine example. The senior actors have solid acting and poor singing (which is funny coz they are supposed to be som...

tried to download tinder recently. been hearing a lot about this app from friends. a friend got to know a guy from this app and they got on quite well. and another friend.. now this one is weirrd -__-" his brother one day suddenly sent him a girl's phone number and asked him to chat up the girl. a total stranger. turns out that  this older brother went on tinder to look for a girl for his single younger brother. this is matchmaking in 2015. it was quite fun initially to swipe left and right. and occasionally you spot your own friends heh. but after a while it just feels pointless to me. or rather.. there is not much feeling to it. it feels like job application to me. except the 'No One Night Stand' warning. which is always amusing :D tinder is one of the things that highlight the irony of today's generation. this generation which uphold 'do not judge' philosophy is also the very generation which judge too quickly, too superficially. not t...

you made me glad.. Adonai :)

There is something about November that make you feel .. good. Maybe coz its the thanksgiving mood. maybe its like prelude to a holiday season. but then again I was not a huge fan of Christmas. Well.. as of now, we have decided to move on. To a new house. Bigger, nicer, but much much further from town @_@ Try not to think too much about it. Hope we get along well with the new housemates set up. I hope by the end of our lease at this new home, which is May 2017.. I would have something life changing to report here. Not that life is not changing now. Yeah.. rough sea. But this boat is sailing on like a good old Thousand Sunny. Have booked tic for an impulsive trip in Dec. Oh my.. I also do not want to think too much about it now. Seems that I can't escape winter, ever missing out on autumn. there is a reason for everything eh? I did say that this year.. I wanted a trip to an Asia country after my Europe trip. And I even stated the country I wanted to go to. But a...
