The nature of man

It been another long hiatus from blogging due to my life being turned upside down by tumultuous events. The seas are calmer now and I can resurface from the sheltered depths to once again mutter something which wouldn't have mattered to anybody anyway. So fun!

Having emerged from the storm with more than a few scars, my favourite phrase nowadays is 悠栽闲栽种盆栽. I will post photos which are testimonies to my philosophy when I become materialistic enough (Yes, my ramblings are sometimes inspired by other blogs) to get the latest shiny camera.

A life less ordinary

It has been some time since I last blogged. That's because this period of time has been occupied by a special someone... Such a protracted lay off has dulled my arresting wit and made me rather prosaic so I shall just let some self-indulgent pictures do the talking about what I have been up to when I was AWOL...


No caption yet.(Caption naming contest: Open to all those who read my blog i.e. tecksein, ah lee, spencer, letissier, teksi and TS)


Wong Kar Wai's Happy Together... Don't you find a stark semblance in this picture to the descriptions in Towgou's dissertation: "How light reflects off the cheekbones of characters in Wong Kar Wai's films"?

Growing up

I was very inspired to learn skateboarding after watching The O.C. on TV; somehow the geek character has 2 babes slobbering at his feet. I concluded that it must be his shiny skateboard. Girls love shiny things. Like diamonds and bald men.

However, my friend Dave said I was too old to learn skateboarding... his exact words were, "Grow up lah!"

Thus, I've decided to pick up finger skateboarding instead. This way, I'll never have to suffer the unthinkable of being laughed at by pimply teenagers half my age. And hopefully, girls will be so impressed that they start wondering about what other dextrous magic I can perform with my fingers.

For the uninitiated, below are a couple of pictures to help you understand what it is all about.

For the tricks I am supposedly able to execute on this blasted miniature, pls visit the tech deck website... I'll post pictures of me actually executing the tricks when I have mastered the art although I suspect that may never happen...

Still on the subject of frivolous tiny gadgets that provide hours of mind-numbing entertainment, I've recently become the proud owner of a Creative Muvo2!

(Yes, go ahead and imagine the very large lop-sided silly grin on my face now... muahahaha!)

Time capsule 1

Nothing interesting to write about...
I am reading Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code...
I am trying to learn finger skateboarding...
I am eating Meiji chocolates...
I am thinking of how to get money to buy a Creative Muvo2 1.5Gb, a Nokia 7610 and a 256Mb SD card...
I am wondering if there is someone doing the exact same stupid things as me...

Slimey: 1st August 2001 - 31st May 2004

My pet Slimey died today.
It'll be cremated at Tuas Incineration plant tommorow.
The memorial service will be held here on this page for your convenience.
Just hold your breath and say "ohmmmm..." for one minute while circling your mouse in a clockwise manner.
This will invoke the necessary emotions you need to feel for Slimey.

Here lies Slimey: 1st August 2001 - 31st May 2004

Slimey's last ride

Hamster wheel of fortune

I just started work today and it made me miserable, thus leading to the following Useless Observation #3:
I don't like to take trains.
The masses make me feel sad.
They make me feel like one of them.
One of them who runs around in a hamster wheel.
One of them who tries so hard to climb to the hatch on top a hamster cage only to be picked up and thrown back in by a big fat hand.
One of them who only pretends to understand the concept of freedom.
One of them who only pretends to be depressed and rambles on and on like this but is just too weak-willed to do anything about it.
I like buses better.
There are fewer hamsters and I can just fall asleep.

I am The Bard

Spring is in full Swing! (a little alliteration yo!)
Love is in the air!
You can see it, hear it and smell it!
Yes! The tantalising smell of fresh clams!
