Its Been...Can you believe it? Just as we were done dusting the glitter off and stowing away the party favours, another month has dawned...Its been work, work and more work ever since the new year started though...so much so, i'm actually working as much as i had during my trainee periods (ok, so i'm not doing a 20 work day stretch but i just did an 11...).Not that i'm not enjoying it though...on

When You Want Something...

2010-01-12T22:19:00.002+08:00

When You Want Something...By nature, i'm non-confrontational...i don't pick fights and neither do i stick around to be involved in one...because i don't see the point in them...Pretty much why i hate watching Debates...They're just so...pointless...But things change...situations change...and so does life...Had enough of sitting by the sidelines and waiting for what i deserve...I have therefore

The Return

The ReturnWell i'm back...again...Yeah, yeah, i know....i've done/said this more than once and disappeared after a couple of posts.Hard to explain why...the closest reason being possibly me losing my 'fire'?I donno...maybe i was happy and contented with life that i decided to plaster over the cracks...That (hopefully) will change...I don't believe in resolutions but i'll make an exception here..

This is a post i've been wanting to do for ages.How long? Well lets just say that i'd been wanting to share this eversince the 90's, when my good pal Kevin (aka Inrsoul) discovered this on a webpage during the infancy (to the public anyways) of the phenomenon known as the Internet.Thing is , i'd lost the original printout and i'd been resigned to not being able to share this with anyone, UNTIL my

Issues i've debated with in my mind with myself and i'd really appreciate it if any of you would share your thoughts/views ...The Mas Selamat AffairMy first thoughts when i heard about this were "no shit?" and "What?

A Much Needed Holiday...

My dad had been going on and on for the last couple of months about going on a holiday...To Kuantan...I swear the man has the weirdest locations in mind for holidays... His last suggestion was to drive up to Malacca and staying over at his boss's town house...which we would have to spend a couple of hours to clean up before staying there since no one lives in it...And I'm still waiting to go on

My 1st Transformers!Those of you who know me real well, would have known how much i love the Transformer series.In fact the original series was what got me interested in model kits and engineering stuff (gears and such)Sadly though, i've never owned a Transformers toy...mainly for 2 reasons...1) They were too damned expensive (sorta like LEGO, a small box could cost upwards of $20)2) The toys

As Stubborn As An...Don't you just hate it when a person in charge makes a very unpopular and seemingly selfish decision and when confronted with it, keeps on insisting that he/she IS DEFINATELY correct in doing so and tries to convince his/her group that he/she isn't being selfish even though it’s so bloody blatantly obvious?Like talking to a bloody wall?Its like this, there are 2 factions

The World Cup Runneth Over...The World Cup...I remember a time when that, meant a whole load of activity and hubbub on a personal level.It usually began during the qualifying stages, when team sheets, results and stats were studied critically with much entusiasm, sleep sacrificed to view what i perceived were matches considered the "pick of the crop" (usually South American qualifiers and a few

Racing For A Seat...I hate politics.Not just local or world politics, i try my best to steer clear of office politics as well...Maybe its due to a bad experience i had when i was in Secondary School, when i learnt 1st hand that holding any form of power or authority means having to sacrifice and endure alot more than you'd expect to...And that more often than not...its a thankless job...Which

Another Year Gone By...

Another Year Gone By...26...Not exactly one of those "Milestone" years (12, 16, 18, 21, 25, 30...) but it does bring a few thoughts to mind.Like "i'm gonna be 30 in 4years" and "The spawns of my cousins/friends/random people i know who are my age, are calling me uncle".Still, taking a look back, i've had a pretty eventful life.Alot of Downs, even more Ups and a whole bunch of In The Middles...I

Time To Take A Breather...What a month its been...I haven't been posting as much as i'd have liked...put it down to the reasons i'd stated in my last post.The good news though, is that the workload i'd been complaining abt so far is starting to diminish.I've already cleared 1 of my final 3 papers and i'd just sat for another one (confident of passing...keeping my fingers crossed nonetheless...)

The Best Ever... George Best (1946-2005)

2005-11-27T22:58:00.000+08:00

George Best, European Footballer Of The Year 1968I have to admit, i wasn't suprised when the news that Manchester United legend George Best had been admitted to hospital (again) came along. Its happened more than once before and Best always seemed to somehow defy the odds and bounce back, flashing that all too familiar and cheeky grin.Sadly it seems that fate and consequence DOES catch up with

Eddie Guerrero (1967-2005)

2005-11-16T01:36:00.000+08:00

I was very shocked to hear that one of my favourite wrestlers Eddie Guerrero had passed away recently.Of all the Wrestlers that i'd come to like, i'd have to say the Eddie Guerrero's story was one of inspiration and sheer hard work.Born to Mexico's greatest Wrestler, Salvador "Gori" Guerrero Quesada (the inventor of the La de a Caballo or Camel Clutch hold and the Gori Special hold), wrestling

So the annual President's Charity Workout was upon ST again.That time of the year when all the different branches of the ST Engineering tree got together, went through the motions of a lame workout, listened to a few speeches and enthusiastically preened their ears in the hopes of winning a prize in the Lucky Draw.Failing which everyone would get up in disgust and make a beeline for the exit,

Since we were on the subject of the X-Men movies, thought i'd share some interesting (and not so obvious) trivia facts from both movies with you guys...X-Men (2000)(Picture courtesy of 20th Century Fox)After Toad kicks Storm down the elevator shaft, but she rises back up, he says angrily, "Don't you people ever die?" This is in reference to the fact that nearly every member of the X-Men has died

Would you believe it, they rekindled old friendships when they found out that their sons were attending the same school many years later.That, was simply put,

I'd just sent D home after catching a movie with her at Yishun and i'd forgotten to bring my earpiece which would hav enabled me to listen to the radio on my new (albeit 2nd hand) phone which i'd recently got to replace my current 1 (which, after being exposed to the rigors of changi, is starting to

Looks like i spoke too soon 2 posts ago (Back And Back In Form).Turned out that the fever i got on Friday came back (with a vengence i might add) on Monday night. Mind you i was feelin alright the whole day and was actually planning on visiting the gym after a long absence.Wasn't until i was heading for home that i started feeling nauseaous and feverish.When i got home, the temperature on my

Sup guys?I know its been ages since i put up a new post and quite a few people have been asking me if i'd (finally?) lost interest in my blog.Rest assured...its nothing like that...My absence (at least, from my posts) was a forced one.1stly, i'd been bogged down with ALOT of work at SASCO Changi, so much so that when i get home all i want to do it hit the sack.Thats how physically and mentally

End Of Exam... Time To Chill...

2005-06-04T13:49:00.000+08:00

2005-05-26T20:57:00.000+08:00

Well, the EPL and European season has drawn to an end and frankly, what a season its been...To a neutral spectator, this season was probably one of the most exciting...That i'd agree with.Instead of the usual 2 horse race between Manchester United and Arsenal, we had Chelsea, fueled by billions of Russian Roubles taking the Championship by storm and Liverpool finally living up to their label of a
