He left us, a sad and tormented soul.Sad not because of people who misunderstood him, betrayed him, taking his money from him.Sad because these very people had deprived him his chance to help those children.Children whom he wished so badly to help.Tormented when he turns on the media to hear his name bastardized and publicized everyday.Know what it feels like to be referred as Wacko Jacko

This year's birthday celebration was indeed the most different one I had for my past 22 years here in Singapore. For the first time, I invited my friends over for a small party. Though it was a pity that Yeeshuan, Yunyen & Zhexun could not join in with us. Well I guess there is always next time.For this year, I got a Western Digital TV HD Media Player.

Wow, been some time since I wrote something. Time really flies. Tomorrow will be my one full year of full time work here in hellhole Singapore. Thank Haruhi I got a nice job with wonderful colleagues to help me past time. But not for long...

Today, my office had our Christmas celebration. We had a little gift exchange session. It involves us drawing names of our colleagues two weeks ago and buying a gift for them with a budget of around SGD$25. None of us will know who actually got the present for us nor what the present really is.Our presents were all placed under this treeDuring the actual gift exchange session, each of us were

Its the time of the year. Christmas is around the corner. In view of this, I took up a Chocolate Truffle making workshop to learn how to make these yummy little things for my special someone. Its just a basic course so nothing really godly. There were a few different flavors being taught but I am just going to show the orange flavored ones here. So lets get down with it.Get some chocolate

Due to my work commitments, and mainly because of our ISPs throttling BT speeds; I am currently now back to using more direct methods. Having only a few hours at home each day, I cannot afford to waste my time on waiting for downloads to complete.Thus my search for the best download manager aka download accelerator began. After researching around and trying various programs, I had narrowed down

I used to play MapleStory alot. Had a Level 53 Bandit in Global Windia and a Level 51 Bandit in SEA Delphinus. During Uni days, I will sometimes play well into the wee hours. However, sometime during my last semester, I stopped playing Maple and went for Trickster (had a Pure Evasion Cat... rocks!). I didn't thought that I would revisit the Maple world again untill recently when my girlfriend,

Finally, my 'dear' younger brother had managed to end my laptop's life. Yesterday morning, it gave up on me despite all my rescue efforts. That placed me in a difficult position. My laptop is suppose to last me till the day Starcraft II is out. By then, I will buy a top end spec Desktop to replace it. I am not willing to spend 4k to buy a top end computer now when the game is not even out yet.

I am not even going to begin talking about the behavior of the people taking the trains, Singaporeans & Gaijins alike. Just the thought of public transport alone makes me puke blood.

With my life getting quite boring and monotonous nowadays, I decided to start a new interest before Starcraft II & Diablo III hits the shelves. I will now start to channel all my free mental energies into researching and studying this new field. Did I mention that it will go inconjuction with my life objective? Yup! To make more money than I spend.Without much hesitation, I started with a little

"Derived from the Latin gluttire, meaning to gulp down or swallow, gluttony is the over-indulgence and over-consumption of food, drink, or intoxicants to the point of waste. In some Christian denominations, it is considered one of the seven deadly sins—a misplaced desire of food or its withholding from the needy."Sometimes work makes one just want to go out and have a big feast.

As someone who initially volunteered to be a small booth helper ending up as the Programs In Charge; I must say that we didn't do half bad. This is the first time SP organised its own Family Day without engaging external services.

This is it! Finally! A touge showdown between two of my favourite cars. Not to mentioned them being tuned by top renowned tuners of Japan. The two cars from Japan that spawned a cult culture around themselves. The Mazda RX-7 and Nissan GT-R (previously known as Skyline GT-R). The 13B rotary engine powered FR RX-7 has always been loved for its exotic looks, excellent handling and sexy sound. The

Today I went chilling out with my colleagues at Clark Quay. Our first stop was Monori Dining and Sake Bar. 10 of us went there for its Ala-Carte Buffet dinner. The ambiance is decent as we got a room to ourselves with the ever repeating Japanese songs CD. Food are well presented with good service. There is a camera fixed at the ceiling to monitor our needs AND to make sure that those who choose

Today is my little sister's 20th birthday. As a present, I got her a red Nintendo DS Lite. This is a rather big present as I was away from Singapore for 3 years; thus missing her three previous birthdays. It is also a form of reward for her continued well performance in her University studies. Keep it up! And of course, I will not be getting her any more presents for the next 5 years to come.

What happened was that I was nominated for Best Performance in Biomolecular Design back in my University and was cordially invited to attend the prize giving ceremony. I emailed back to them saying that I was unable to attend. They replied that they will mail me the certificate but failed to

Sorry dear, just when you are not at my place today. We had steamed lobsters for lunch. There are two types here. One type costs USD $60 per kg and the other costs $40 per kg. The $60 one had softer and more tender meat. The $40 one had more springy meat texture. I prefer the cheaper one though...Most of the meat were already eaten before I can even take a photo...
