My dad has just brought to my attention that a link in my archives (part of the template/skin so I can't change it now) that used to link to Auntie Allen's blog now directs the user to a porn site. O_o

User be ware.

Just saw the second telecast of Superband and was reminded to add a link to Jing Bao Yue Tuan's blog. It's on friendster so I don't know if you can read it if you don't have an account.

Objectively speaking, I thought their second performance - the first time in the studio - was certainly not their best, but I've heard them do much better and I'm sure they're capable of going far in this competition. (And I'm not just saying that because because the lead singer is my cousin, I'm very particular about musicality.) The third performance was much better, but the drums were still overpowering the lead vocals and diction was a bit garbled. And the bass... haha, there was something strange going on there.

But anyway, good luck guys... go sing your hearts out. =)

One of the perks of this job is that your boss is actually an international-award winning photographer. Which means he knows lots of people and takes lots of nice photos which you can use for your MSN display pic... XD

Anyway, he was speaking at a digital photography seminar yesterday with Eric Cheng. I got to see some of their work, and I also got to see Stephen Wong and Takako Uno, two pretty well-known photographers. Their book "An Ocean Odyssey" has got a really surreal and poetic cover, so I went looking for their work and found this image:



And that is the sad reality of what happens to sharks for that bowl of sharks' fin soup you eat at weddings. Some fishing communities will use every single part of the shark, but most just cut off the fins and throw the poor creature back into the water to drown. All that for a bowl of soup that really tastes more of the sea cucumber and crab broth than the sharks' fin.

After these 4 months fighting for a place to stand squeezing with the rest of the working population on the train, I find people who lean their entire body on the holding bars my absolute pet peeve. Some of these invertebrates will even lean on the bar when you're already holding it, squashing your fingers under their weight. Even worse - some of them will attempt to read the papers while leaning on the bar, and they will spread the newspapers wide, as if they were right in the comfort of their own home, waving newsprint under your nose.

Why is it that when I see videos of Japanese people on trains reading the newspaper or generally squeezing around in their very packed shinkansens, I never see this problem? Ok, so they've got other problems like molesters, but there are molesters on Singapore trains too. Maybe it's just the grass looking greener on the other side... or as a certain someone in my office would say, "Back in Japan, things were better." XDDDDDD

mood

Translation:
Nemo nisi mors.


the subject

utopist. dreamer. cynic. poet. a contradiction. eccentric. cartesian. a starlight in the gloom.

The patient, born in 1984, suffers from a history of idealism of unknown onset and duration.
