A Jem of an Audio Draft

2009-11-24T01:56:00.001+08:00

I first heard Jem for the first time, of all places, on a youtube fan made video on Kingdom hearts.

If you find her songs familiar, you might have heard her music on television programs such as Damages, The O.C., Desperate Housewives, Wonderfalls, 90210, Six Feet Under, Crossing Jordan, Grey's Anatomy, Medium etc.

I've embedded a few of my favorite songs below. Recently, I've been hooked onto the song, "It's Amazing" from the Sex and the City movie soundtrack, which is also listed below.

Enjoy and have a great week!

This week on the rundown.

HIMYM- The playbook
Barney does the Scuba Diver... and it is On!

Yes ppl. Barney, that sonofabitch is back... and badder/better than ever~
Honestly, I'm glad that he and robin are coming back together as friends, rather than staying as a couple. Great episode, awesome moments and welcome back Barney!

TBBT- The Adhesive Duck Deficiency

Loved the pairing of Sheldon and Penny. To borrow a phrase from a good friend of mine, it was legen... wait for it... dary!
Especially 'Soft kitty' at the end. =D

Weekly Audio Draft

2009-11-15T17:41:00.001+08:00

I'm with good company, namely the soulful Oliva Ong on my itunes, this lazy sunday afternoon.

Olivia is a Singaporean singer. She sings mostly in English but developed her career singing in English and, later, Japanese.

Likened to Keiko Matsuda, she won a singing contest and was signed to a Japanese recording company at only 15.

Highly recommended if you're into bossanova music!

Here's a stream from one of my favourite album:
'Girl meets bossanova'

You absolutely have to listen to Track 7 "I'll move on" Its been my go to music when I'm down in a rut, for the longest time I can remember. And it still does the trick~

Freedom Writers

2008-11-13T02:11:00.006+08:00

Just had my first paper today! French~
kk, technically it was yesterday, and with that comes the inertia and burnout that follows the next few hours.

Decided to watch a some random movie to unwind abit, and I ended up watching this:

Freedom Writers

Halfway through the film, I realised that I had seen and heard parts of this before in the Common- A dream MTV in the previous post.

Gawd~... it so reminded me of Dangerous Minds, MUST FIND that show and reminisce Michelle Pfiffer lay the law in the classroom.

Btw, I just googled Dangerous Minds and u know wat?
The film was screened in friggin 1995.
And now I'm listening to MLTR ( Micheal Learns To Rock... duh~ =p ) and Backstreet Boys ( *cough... Backstreet Uncles), while typing out this post~

Doh~! I'm feeling a sudden siansation at how old I'm getting~ >.<

Yes, we can? Yes, he did!

President Elect Obama in Chicago

And so... come 10th Jan, the US of A will welcome its 44th president.

Hey Martin Luther King.jr!
Your DREAM has finally come to pass and CHANGE has come to America!
'A dream' by Common
Couldn't help but think of this song when i tot of wat has come to pass~

Was watching CNA's 1 hour special on how the world held its breath, as the next President of the United States of America was elected.

And you know what, never in my 24 years have i recalled of one person who has inspired and captivated so many the world over.

Children in a Jakarta Primary school, where Mr. Obama spent 4 years studying during his earlier years, squealed and danced with pride!

Residents form the the town of Obama in Japan, celebrated in Hawaiian t-shirts( he was born in hawaii), and connected with him through the namesake of their town.

He has alot to live up to, and expectations are high~

Change has begun. Change that's hopefully for the better.

ICT is over....

Thinking back I wish I could have done things differently, been a better person.
Stepped up to the plate and been more pro-active.

Being new to Archer Coy is tough, not knowing the men and commanders personally.
I'm grateful for Onn Ray and the rest of the of the PCs for helping me feel at home, but I can't help but feel like an outsider.

Maybe I should take up that Dys3 offer and move to Bn HQ.
But that would mean settling in all over again, and of course it might also include additional training outside of the annual ICT.

Well.... till next year~

So I think I want to dance~ >.<

2008-06-17T14:30:00.011+08:00

I've been watching season 4 of SYTYCD ( So you think you can dance). And not surprisingly I feel like learning how to dance! ^^;

Mwhahaha!! ^^;
At least lemme dream abt it k~ =x

Its such a joy watching the top 20 finalists perform, contemporary especially, Mia Michaels' choreography just blows me away everytime.

And Joushua and Katee's Hip Hop number. You noe... the one with Jordin Spark's 'No Air' playing in the background.

But i digress...

So riding on a Never Say Die Optimism, induced by an hour and a half of AMAZING dancing in episode 6. I googled online, hoping to find some good local dance schools.

Hopefully, all this won't degenerate into idle dreaming~

iPhone release earlier than expected?

Post WWDC keynote delivery~

2008-06-10T09:59:00.005+08:00

Well... Day 1 of Apple's WWDC is over~

Though there weren't any redesigned MBPs or MacBooks, the 3G iPhone was revealed.

Slated for release in the states and 21 other countries on July 11, it'll be selling for US$199 for the 8gb and US$299 for the 16gb version.

More excitingly, our Singapore Apple Store was updated with the 3G iPhone. Hopefully, that translates to an earlier release in Singapore, rather than the Sep release originally reported.

On a similar note, the Singapore Apple Store was also updated with iTunes Store!!

WWDC 08 is TMR!!!

2008-06-09T00:41:00.004+08:00

Come on steve...
Show us some re-designed Montevina MBPs and MacBooks~

I'm sure that 3G iPhone is not the ONLY thing u have up your sleeve. =p

Techie update~

2008-05-30T01:18:00.013+08:00

Battle of the Touchscreen Titans

With the release of the 3G iPhone, Sony X1 Xperia and the HTC Diamond this coming quarter, Tech savvy mobile fan boys are spoilt for choice.
Though the iphone won't be coming to singapore till septmember, as compared to the X1 and Diamond which should be available at an earlier date.
( The Diamond will be retail ready in June)
This of course, hasn't stopped hardcore mac fans ( I'm a proud owner of an iphone myself~ ^^;) from importing and unlocking foreign sets.

Personally...the decision boils down to 3 factors:
1) Price
Only the Diamond's retail price has been confirmed so far, at a whopping $1098.
No news abt the Sony Xperia as of yet.
And I predict the 3G iphone to retail at US$599 under AT&T.
Bottom line, it should be cheaper to ship in a 3G iphone from the states than purchase its competitors locally.
Which bring us to....

2) Warranty
Getting the 3G iPhone earlier from abroad would void the warranty, since you'll have to jailbreak and unlock it (provided an unlock for the new OS is available). The other 2 alternatives would be a safer option, if anything should go wrong with your handset.

3) UI
Nothing comes close to apple's intitive user interface, be it the symbian OS on the X1 or the Touch Flo enhanced Windows Mobile on the Diamond.

Of course we'll know more as the products are finally released. First up, being the 3G iPhone which will be unveiled at the coming WWDC on June 9th.

If I could afford it though, I don't mind getting ALL of these shiny new toys~ =p

Intel Centrino 2 ( Montevina) release postponed

If you've been thinking of getting that new lappy for the upcoming acad year, you might want to give it more thought.
A new mobile platform is due to be released by Intel Mid July, which should translate to OEMs shipping out Centrino 2 laptops sometime Mid August.

Orignally slated for a june release, the release date has been pushed back to july 14th due to issues with the onboard 802.11n and in-built graphic solution.

The new Centrino 2 platforms sports the new smaller 45nm Penryn chips, on the the new contiga chipset, with clockspeeds up to 3.06Ghz. In addition to lower power consumption due to the die shrinkage, it sports the new integrated X3100 inbuilt graphic, onboard WIFI (WiMAX & wireless N) and a 1066 MT/s FSB ( i.e. RAM support for DDR3).

So what does this mean?
Well... I'm gonna think twice about getting a new laptop replacement for my cranky vaio this coming PC show. ( which if u didn't know, starts the following thur at Suntec.)

But then again, these things are ALWAYS improving.
The best advice I've ever heard abt buying IT goods?

Just get it, when u need it~ =p

YES!! I know dat its been awhile~ ^^;

2008-05-29T09:44:00.006+08:00

kk.... no excuses.
Its been what.... a mth since i last updated. So here we go~

RONNIE and AIWEI where are the kelong PictureS?!?
LOL...seriously its been WEEKS.
I do realise that all your shots are in RAW and its a pain to convert, but pleaase please pleaase post them up soon ya~

p.s.
for those of u who don't noe.
The CNC gang.
aka
Ben, aiwei ( yes u 2 come in a pair. btw how was fishing yesterday?)
jourdan, kimhock, ben's brother, ezra, rachel, huiming, ronnie. nat, jiemin, wenlong and I went on weekend trip to HOTBOYS kelong.

It was decent, not fab but its who u go with dat makes it fun rite~?
And it was a great bunch of frens who went.
Highlights include fishing, mahjonging,
More fishing and mahjonging...
Oh! did i mention Mahjong and fishing? =p

Not dat i'm complaining but i guess the concept of this hotboys kelong is more for ppl to layback and unwind.
Personally, I was suffering from the lack of internet.
2 DAYS without getting an online fix is like...ARHGHhghHGHHgh?!?!

ok... i admit it. I'm an internet junkie. But I'm sure alot of us were suffering from withdrawal symptoms over that weekend. lol...especially so with so many CABAL players in the group.

Btm line:
hotboys kelong is decent.
Rmb to ask for some beach gear ( i.e. volleyball) from the kelong before going island hopping. Cuz pretty much other den frollicking along the the beach, there's not much else to do while island hoping.

Where in the universe is Apple's iPOD?

2008-04-08T16:15:00.003+08:00

A NASA photo of space shuttle Endeavour shows a certain Apple music player sitting in the window console

This NASA photo released last week of space shuttle Endeavour would likely have gone unnoticed by the gadget set if it weren't for some keen blogger eyes that spotted an iPod sitting in the window console.

Astronauts have been allowed to fly with iPods for the last few years, "a great space saver over CD players", according to recent ABC News story. But the devices can only take flight after their Lithium batteries are replaced with alkaline AA batteries that are certified to fly on the shuttle. And iPods aren't yet certified for use on the space station, the story said.

"Hope" is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops
at all

Olivia Ong- I'll move on

This road that I'm taking twists and turns
My life my chance turning dreams into reality.
Down this path faced with so many things
Sometimes I feel like giving up and turn away

Can't seem to go on
And I've been thru' this before
Now where am I?
Where do I stand?
A little lost here.
But I'll remember.
All those times you've bought me thru'.
I'd be a fool to give up cos' the goal is near

I'll move on I'll go on.
Lord I will take your hand.
And you will guide me along.
Survive thru' this storm.
So I say, come what may.
I'll hold on to my hope.
Yes, I will walk down this road.
And my passion drive will lead me on

Here I am Once again caught in the rain.
Looking back I've come so far And I want to carry on
Take a step at time
It's alright.
Even thru' this rain, I want to smile again

Don't hold back now.
And i've been thru' this before.
Now where am I?
Where do I stand?
A little lost here.
But I'll remember.
All those times you've bought me thru'.
I can feel the sun shining down on me

Here I am, Here I am.
Lord I will take your hand.
And you will guide me along.
Survive thru' this storm.
So I say, come what may.
I'll hold on to my hope.
Yes, I will walk down this road.
And my passion drive will lead me on.

情歌王 stikes back~ Take 2!

2008-03-22T01:53:00.007+08:00

古巨基 - 勁歌金曲2 - 情歌王

(Forever love 王力宏)
爱你不是因为你的美而已
我越来越爱你
每个眼神触动我的心

(两个人的烟火黎明)
最爱你的是我
否则你怎麽让我
否则我怎麽可能赴汤蹈火
你说什麽都做

(如果�爱张学友)
如果这就是爱
在转身就该勇敢留下来
就算受伤就算流泪
都是生命里温柔灌溉

(童话光良)
我要变成童话里
你爱的那个天使
张开双手
变成翅膀守护你
你要相信
相信我们会像童话故事里

(很爱很爱你刘若英)
舍得让你往更多幸福的地方飞去
很爱很爱你
只有让你拥有爱情
我才安心

(我愿意王菲)
我愿意为你我愿意为你
我愿意为你忘记我姓名
只要你真心拿爱与我回应
我什麽都愿意为你

(好想好想古巨基)
好想好想好想好想
好想好想和你在一起

(明天我要嫁给你了周华健)
明天我要嫁给你啦
明天我要(终于)嫁给你啦
要不是你问我要不是你劝我
要不是适当的时候你让我心动

(不得不爱潘玮柏/弦子)
天天都需要你爱
我的心思由你猜
I love you
我就是要你让我每天都精彩

(阴天莫文蔚)
开始总是分分钟都妙不可言
谁都以为热情它永不会减
总之那几年
感性赢了理性那一面

(飞机场的10:30 陶喆)
Baby baby baby baby baby baby
是不是拥有以後就会开始要失去
我给你的越多你却要想要躲
爱已无法回答所有的问题

(那麽爱你为什麽黄品源/莫文蔚)
离开你是傻是对是错
是看破是软弱
这结果是爱是恨或者是什麽

(你怎麽舍得我难过黄品源)
最爱你的人是我
你怎麽舍得我难过
对你付出了这麽多
你却没有感动过

(爱我别走张震狱)
爱我别走
如果你说你不爱我
不要听见你真的说出口
再给我一点温柔

(让我欢喜让我忧周华健)
就请你给我多一点点时间
再多一点点问候
不要一切都带走
就请你给我多一点点空间
再多一点点温柔
不要让我如此难受

(原来你什麽都不想要张惠妹)
原来你什麽都不想要
我不要你的承诺
不要你的永远
只要你真真切切爱我一遍
就算虚荣也好,贪心也好
最怕你把沉默,当做对我的回报
原来你什麽都不想要

(用心良苦张宇)
你说你想要逃
偏偏注定要落脚
情灭了爱熄了
剩下空心要不要

(祝福张学友)
伤离别离别虽然在眼前
说再见再见不会太遥远
若有缘有缘就能期待明天
你和我重逢在烂灿的季节

(吻别张学友)
我和你吻别在无人的街
让风痴笑我不能拒绝
我和你吻别在狂乱的夜
我的心等着迎接伤悲

(把悲伤留给自己陈升)
能不能让我陪着你走
既然你说留不住你
回去的路有些黑暗
担心让你一个人走

(征服那英)
就这样被你征服
切断了所有退路
我的心情是坚固
我的决定是糊涂

(听海张惠妹)
听海哭的声音叹惜着谁又被伤了心

(味道辛晓琪)
和身上的味道我想念你的吻
和手指淡淡烟草味道
记忆中曾被爱的味道

(我怀念的孙燕姿)
我怀念的是无话不说
我怀念的是一起作梦
我怀念的是争吵以後
还是想要爱你的冲动
我记得那年生日
也记得那一首歌
记得那片星空最紧的右手
最暖的胸口

(领悟辛晓琪)
啊!多麽痛的领悟
你曾是我的全部
只愿你挣脱情的枷锁
爱的束缚任意追逐
别再为爱受苦

(月亮惹的祸张宇)
都是你的错在你的眼中
总是藏着让人又爱又怜的朦胧
都是你的错你的痴情梦
像一个魔咒
被你爱过还能为谁蠢动

(我们的爱 F.I.R)
我们的爱过了就不再回来
直到现在我还默默的等待
我们的爱我明白
已变成你的负担
只是永远我都放不开
最後的温暖

(你把我灌醉黄大伟)
你把我灌醉你让我流泪
扛下了所有罪我拼命挽回
你把我灌醉你让我心碎
爱得收不回

(眼泪范晓萱)
Oh 眼泪...
眼泪都是我的体会成长的滋味
Oh 眼泪...
忍住眼泪不让你看见我在改变
孤单的感觉...
你从不曾发现我笑中还有泪...

(情非得已庚澄庆)
只怕我自己会爱上你
不敢让自己靠的太近
怕我没什麽能够给你
爱你也需要很大的勇气

(你是如此难以忘记梁朝伟)
你是如此的难以忘记
浮浮沉沉的在我心里
改变自己需要多少勇气
翻腾的心情该如何平息

(心太软任贤齐)
你总是心太软心太软
把所有问题都自己扛
相爱总是简单相处太难
不是你的就别再勉强

(Forever love 王力宏)
Forever love forever love
我只想用我这一辈子去爱你
从今以後你会是所有
幸福的理由
Forever love
Forever love
Forever love

I am so gonna sing this at KTV~ =p

WHy?!?

Becuz the SAF deems that we, 428 SAR, are to be on standby this week. In fact, the S3 emailed us that there's a really high possibility that there'll be an actual activation this time around.

edit
just saw an email from our CO, saying that there's no recall liao~.
Its like past 2pm on a sunday, and NOBODY is DAT hardworking, plus the SAF is probably too busy hunting for Mas Selamat anyways... =p

Deicided to post some random photos, while idling at home, waiting to see if they're actually gonna push the button.

I'm not sure if many ppl will see this, but a couple of frens and I are Mass Ordering Havaianas Slippers from www.igapost.com.

On average, slippers cost USD$14, which is ard S$20ish?? Which is still pretty cheap in comparison to the prices you see in NUM and other shops in singapore. Shipping is US$12, which all the spree-ers will share, and it take 1-2 weeks to ship into singapore.

So if you're interested and TRUST moi to handle you're moola~

Hexis... its over ?!?! ^^

BIG SHOUT OUT to EVERYONE who came to watch the show!

AND.... The cast who are a fantastic and crazy bunch:

The Men on the Moon, Crazy Dancaholic Max, who is undeniably insane at times; capable of breaking out in dance anywhere and everywhere~ Baby Face Swee Lee, who looks SO CHIO in make up, that I swear he even puts some gurls to shame. lol

Ezra and Mike, U guys RAWKED 'Bad Boys'!

" Nerd also cannot, Bad Boy also cannot? WAT U WANT? SISSY BOY??!" lol

Aunt Sally aka Faith, for being such a terrific and pleasant co-actress to work together with in our scene, "A Night with Elvis". Though thinking back on hindsight, you could have let me know in advance if u were gonna miss certain rehearsals... that way i also can 'pon' wat~ =p

Debra and "Uncle" Paul, My family were reallie taken away by your scene in "california dreaming". They tot it was the most thought provoking story out of all the 6 shorts. Ups La~!

Angela and Fund, I always felt that lead roles are the hardest to play, being restricted with more lines and less free play as us 'Supporting- cast'. BUT U TWO WERE GREAT! I was reallie impressed with the amount of dedication u two put into the roles; especially you
FUND, with the last minute changes to the script during the CNY period and everything.

Yuxuan, u are an exceptionally GIFTED actor u noe!?!? You reallie should continue exploring this avenue of yourself.

And of course Ellyne, who I can't describe in words~ Haha... lets say it was an intersting experience working with you. ^^ "Hi Mr Tan... its time for you're medicine." You did great for the play gurl!

P.S. Not forgetting Junjie and Shixiong, u guys were GREAT Directors. And BTW shixiong, i was totally BLOWN AWAY by your video... You're reallie talented dude~!

And I need to thank Siewying, who DOLLED ME UP real good. Will reallie miss you when u graduate from this acad year. KIT YA!

Happy wif moi iPhone

2008-02-20T18:58:00.006+08:00

Thanks DAD for getting it from the states for me and arranging for the stealth sim modification for the sim card. THough it took like FOREVER ( i spent the entire CNY hols jailbreaking and unlocking the phone), but its reallie worth it... loving it eva since.

p.s. if anyone's interested in getting one ... I dun mind helping to jailbreak and unlock it for you.
for a lil' fee of course... lol

FF7 Remake

2007-11-14T19:27:00.000+08:00

The much hyped about and fantasized remake of FF7 in all its PS3 CGI glory~

I sure as hell would wanna replay FF7, if an updated version were to be released on the PS3. Rumours are still adrift, whether a full remake is in the works at Squaresoft, or this is merely a secret ending hidden at the end of 'Crisis Core'; the prequel to FF7 which is on the PSP.

p.s.

here's the full Crisis Core Ending wif the remade 'FF7 intro' tucked after the credits.

An Open Letter to the PM, by Catherine Lim

2007-11-08T10:09:00.000+08:00

Déjà vu

During Breakfast, Nat, Elt and I were JUST talking about Catherine Lim, as an example of our Gahmen's sometimes High-Handed approach at regulating political discourse; and mere muinutes later, I run across this open letter which Catherine Lim wrote to the PM, about political openness in Singapore.

You can read her entire letter at her website. And her reasons for going online can be found at Cherian George's journalism.sg site.

She says of her reasons:

The Straits Times rejected the article, saying that there was really nothing new in it. I subsequently submitted it to TODAY, which also rejected it.

As a result I am turning to alternative sources of dissemination, and am going online. For I think I have some important ideas to share about certain major issues in our society which could have serious implications for the future. It does not matter to me if these ideas don't meet with agreement or even approval, but it does matter that they are shared with as many fellow Singaporeans as possible.

Excerpt of her letter:

...It is illuminating, Mr Prime Minister, that in your current dialogues with college and university students, they are less interested in what you tell them about the challenges of economic and social development, than in your thoughts and intentions with regard to the issue of human rights, public debate, public consultation, alternative voices, etc. Among them must be individuals who will be the future’s tiny minority of rebels, such as the wildly creative artist ready to defy conventions, and the ferocious non-conformist with political leanings, ready to challenge the establishment. It is a pity that your model has a place for the first but not the second, for surely true progress in society depends on the nurturing of both. And it would be the greatest pity of all if the young political rebel soon lost heart, got absorbed into the majority, and concluded, like them, that compliance with the powers that be, made for a more comfortable life. Fear, whether it results in people yielding in submission or lashing out in resentment must be the most damaging force in society.

I had begun this letter with a plea. It is an earnest plea to consider what can be done to remove this fear, for only then can the process of political reform begin, to lead eventually to what every society needs for resilience and the capacity for renewal– a continuing core, even if only a tiny minority, of alert, savvy, skeptical, dedicated and above all, unafraid citizens who can be relied on to be the movers and shakers. Indeed, no nation can be called great unless it can claim such a citizenry which transcends all governments. The greatest legacy of the PAP may, ironically, be in the creation of a society that no longer needs it....

Carpe diem

2007-11-04T01:03:00.000+08:00

Tu ne quaesieris, scire nefas, quem mihi, quem tibi
finem di dederint, Leuconoe, nec Babylonios
temptaris numeros. ut melius, quidquid erit, pati.
seu pluris hiemes seu tribuit Iuppiter ultimam,
quae nunc oppositis debilitat pumicibus mare
Tyrrhenum: sapias, vina liques et spatio brevi
spem longam reseces. dum loquimur, fugerit invida
aetas: carpe diem quam minimum credula postero.

So far I've only watched the current season's 1st 5 episode, but it SOOooo reminds me of 'Friends'... There are a couple of analoguos character, which I'm sure if you were a fan of 'Friends', you could easily pick out.

Highly Recommended...plus there's guest stars Mandy Moore, Brad Pitt and Enrique Iglesias too!

I would like to jubilantly apportion to my fellow man, of the whimsical use of prolonged contractions and superfluous adjectives.

This faculty is especially efficacious, when slandering in the presence of one's antagonist, or said person's associates. Hence, avoiding being masticated in the gluteus, which would be the stock culmination of such an endeavour.

A sheet of shelves

2007-10-04T00:59:00.000+08:00

If you tot ikea was the king of flatpacking, think again.
Check out the Piegato from Matthias Ries

Out of the box, the Piegato looks like an oddly designed magnetic board. With a few folds of this metal sheet, you can customize it to become a shelf for all your books and junk. And because you decide which parts to fold out, you can have just one to three shelves depending on how much wall storage you need.

They even haf a little video of unpacking it out of the box

Now isn't this just MADE for ppl like us who might need additional shelf space in our dorms?

Stupid, @#!$ lousy phone!

World's Smallest Toilet Bowl

2007-10-01T23:52:00.000+08:00

Do you really need more proof that Japanese people love toilet jokes? This photograph, taken by nanotechnologist Kaito Takahashi, won the Most Bizzare Award at a conference on electrons, ions, and photo beam technology a couple years ago. He took it using an electron microscope at 15,000x magnification while working at a lab in Shizuoka. And even though it's actually a photo of an integrated circuit, he decided to call it "Small Toilet."

"It's Been A While"- Staind

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

And it's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and fucked things up again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day!

And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem to be I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry

I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry

2007-09-23T09:51:00.000+08:00

It was much better than expected...
just be sure to watch it with an open mind, not for the faint of heart or homophobic~

Watch out for stellar performances by some outstanding supporting actors,

- Ving Rhames (past performances include ,Luther Stickell, Ethan Hunt's Resident computer hacker from MI-2 and 3): as Duncan , a manly fellow firefighter, who happens to be a closet gay.
Da man deserves an oscar for the 'Soap Scene' lol

- Rob Schneider ( needs no introduciton =p): as a hilarious Japanese Priest

I've yet to read thru it in detail, but it seems to cover:

- technical aspects of Real Time PCR
- Quantification of mRNA levels using Real Time PCR Standard Curve Mehtod
- Interpretation of the Tm Curves
- Further Deriavations of the Tm Curves (i.e. log scale etc)

Alot of the graphs he showed us during the pract seemed to pulled right out of here...

ups and downs

2007-06-12T12:14:00.001+08:00

I've been asking myself wat i reallie want in life these couple of days... sulking and brooding in a corner of my room here in the Grand canyon.
p.s. dats wat flunking a module did to me.

And I realised dat i reallie hafn't the faintest clue.

well u see... looking around me. All the singaporeans (cum malaysians and PRCs, since we all study in singapore) are working like dogs, taking 2nd jobs and working overtime to earn extra cash.

Its all so different from before we set off, wif promises of hafing fun and hiking and taking trips to other towns.

Its not dat i dun empathise that we could all do wif a lil extra cash ( imagins paying US$8 for a meal here). But everyone seems caught up wif earning more and more money.

Its kinda like a rat race. I dink singaporeans suffer from a need to compete and a serious bout of workaholism.

I feel it kinda started wif the the obscene amt of tips that bussers( ppl hu clear tables in the restuarants) here earn. sometimes $30 - $50 a day!
Ok... maybe i exagerate. but the tips easily come up to a sizable chunk of our avg pay.

so ppl as ppl always do.... tend to compare and contrast. And since it was our own suei luck dat we didn't fight for the busser job before we came. We work 2nd jobs instead.

Maybe I'm a tad jealous and i hope dat i dun sound harsh but i do wonder if life after graduation mimics this morbid rat race.

Which brings me back to my question:
wat exactly do i want in life?

bringing it parallel to my current circumstances... i wonder if i reallie wanna work from 5 till 10, jugglin 2 jobs just to earn some extra cash. Is dat wat i want?

Hafing flunked a module, i question my aptitude and attitude to my studies. Is filling ependorf tubes in a lab the career i truly desire.

HOw the hell does one actually noe wat he wants in life anyhow... there's a million and one things i could do or be....but as time slips away, i feel i'm losing each oppourtunity, and being left with one less choice or chance to try something dat i might reallie enjoy.

I do noe dat i quite enjoy languages.... the onli As i've scored in NTU so far, are all from prescribed electives hafing to do with communication and writing.

I've been sorely tempted to change course at times, but wat if u find out its not my cup of tea?
argh... i'm making excuses again... another one of my many short comings.

my minds been wondering from being an interpreter to cooking these past few days....
seeing as ppl could always use language interpeters, as i look at the myriad of tourist dat come to the park everyday, and the troubles we sometimes face.
and the cooking we've done here among singaporeans due to us missing our home cooked meals, has been suprisingly enjoyable and succcessful. We can make a mean hainanese chicken rice! ^^

I feel this post is getting me nowhere, but i feel so much better after all this ranting.

p.s. I've sent and apeal to review my flunked module, wish me luck that theres an improvement in the grade to a D. I reallie reallie dun wanna retake a module... i'm stugglin as it is already~

ok....time to dink positive and live for the present.
no point it lamenting the past and worrying about the future.
cuz if dink abt it, both don't reallie exist at all.

The past is part memories dat buildup to the present.
And the future but hope and worries dat fleet just beyond one's grasp.

wat's tangible and exists is: Now.
