Battlefield Heroes

I've resumed playing BFH after a timeout. This is my character... finding a tank and commandeering it.

I love my new Thinkpad T60. The ATI graphics card enhances the gaming experience.

2nd hand Macbook anyone?

I bought a new Lenovo Thinkpad so I'm looking to release my Macbook. The HDD, RAM and power adapter have all been upgraded and are new. The only component that is faulty is the battery. Let me know if you would like to take it off my hands at a reasonable price.

Malicious celebrity

Visitors to sites associated with Jessica Biel are at highest risk of being infected with malware according to McAfee. Interesting.

Tough call

I don't envy Chris Webber having to pick his all-time fav 5 Lakers. Its an impossible task with the star studded list of players who have worn the Lakers' jersey. Kobe as sixth man and Shaq left out? Inevitable really.

I'm not competing

I have this acquaintance who always wants to prove he is better than me. When I say that I want to do something... he will reply that he has done it already. If I say that I know something... he will declare that he is better than me. He is also constantly forcing his opinions on me. Dude... I'm not competing with you!!!
And I thought I was insecure? This guy appears to be even more so.

Jackie Chan???

Was watching Star World and commercials were airing. WTH??? Jackie Chan is Kaspersky's spokesperson???

Christian OS?

Ubuntu Christian Edition is a version of Ubuntu that comes bundled with a Jesus Christ wallpaper, Christian-related software and web filtering software to protect Christians against undesirable content while surfing the Internet. Anyone wants to install it?

No point

I keep getting rudely reminded that there's no point in being nice. You want to help people but they slap you in the face and insult you instead. Wth is wrong with me? Haven't I learnt my lesson yet?
My resolution is to go against my kind nature and be a selfish asshole.

Wtf???

I came across 2 incidences yesterday of men carrying handbags. At first I thought they were helping their GFs carry theirs only to find out their female companions were carrying their own. Wtf???

Hello From Earth

What is "Hello From Earth"?

I decided to send the following message for fun.
"2009 has been a bad year. Is your home planet a happy place? Take me to your planet please."

How do you mend a broken heart?

I've tried different things. I've gone on trips... I've bought stuff for myself... I've read... I've wandered outdoors taking pics... I've blogged... I've tried meeting new people. Nothing works. I've given up all hope and am hanging by a thread.

Finished

I finished reading "The Time Traveler's Wife"... the first book that I've picked up in years. I don't want to reveal the ending but it is depressing... it made me sad and I nearly called my ex as a result. I'm trying my best but I still feel despondent. 2009 has really been a fucked up year. It is one bad event after another. When will respite arrive?

Should I?

I have been contemplating submitting my video for consideration but after careful thought... I decided to forget it. My Mandarin sucks.

Just for laughs

Hate those annoying ads that appear in your Gmail inbox? I learnt a trick to fool Google. It is as simple as inserting obfuscated keywords into your emails.

All alone in this world

I was not born to this world an orphan... I have family and friends but yet I am alone... so alone. Is this life worth living?

ECP

Been procrastinating over taking pics of the incomplete Marina Sands. Finally dragged my lazy ass over to the ECP. It was strangely peaceful walking alone along the ECP.

Beautiful isn't it? It is as if time stood still.
Heading home.

Martian Child

Watched this movie and as the title implies... its basically about an orphan who thinks he's from Mars. He lives on "Lucky Charms" cereal and it got me wanting to eat them again because I used to eat them when I was young. I love marshmallows.
Went to different supermarkets hunting for it but to no avail. The closest I got to "Lucky Charms" were "Fruit Loops". Doh!!! I want "Lucky Charms".

Strange day

Witnessed a Coffee Bean employee putting on powder to his face and neck while taking the bus. Not talcum powder but makeup. The powder was brown in tone. Think the guy was creating a fake tan? I don't know... it was just a tad weird.
Later on... I was in the Cross Street area and there were Hong Kongers everywhere. Spent the whole afternoon resuming reading "The Time Traveler's Wife". I don't have the "gift" of time travel but I do have the ability of remembering faces. While enjoying my afternoon read, I saw a Malay father and son pair whom I've seen before at Isetan Scotts previously. I remember them very clearly because the last time I saw them... they attracted my attention because of their proud mannerisms, flashy expensive clothes and matching Oakley sunglasses. Am I a slow reader? I covered 200+pages in 4 hours.
Was raining the whole morning and afternoon so I was glad to see the rain replaced by beautiful clouds in the background. Pity I didn't have my DSLR with me because I was lugging a heavy Cisco router and switch with me.

Autumn?

Wonder if this plant's leaves are permanently brownish orange?

Movie marathon

Its been ages since I've watched consecutive movies at the cinema. Today I caught "G.I. Joe" and "Up" with ML. Both good movies. "Joe" gets my thumbs up for the hot babes... especially Sienna Miller... she's smoking hot. I love brunettes. "Up" is refreshing and touching.

Back in the groove

I haven't read a novel in years. The last book I finished reading was "Angels & Demons" and "The Da Vinci Code". Now is a good time to get back to reading. I bought "The Time Traveler's Wife" and started reading it while waiting for a friend to meet me for dinner. I'm at page 31 now. So far so good. Interesting book.

Choices

We are forced to make choices every single day. I often get chided for taking my time in making up my mind. I'm told that it is not difficult to make a decision. I disagree... it is hard because every choice we make has serious consequences. Dramatic am I? I have a good example to prove my point. When I was in my previous company, I was faced with a situation of choosing a candidate to fill a position. I made my choice. My pick joined the firm and his life would change forever. He was one of 3 new employees who joined on the same day. Of the 3, one of them was a lady who would become his current GF. They are getting
married in October.
Fate? Coincidence? God? I shudder to think how things would have been different had I chosen someone else to take on the vacancy. This reminds me of the movie "Sliding doors".

No more "The 5.30 Man"

I started a new job and OT is now part and parcel of my life. *sigh* I'm no longer "The 5.30 Man". There goes my personal life or whatever little of it I had.

Air we breathe

OMG!!! I totally forgot that this song existed until today. I used to be super insane over this song. I played it continually for weeks on my stereo at home when it first came out.

Graffiti fan

I'm a big fan of graffiti. It is a creative form of expression and I think the ban of this art form is partially contributing to the stifling of creativity in Singaporeans. Permitting graffiti in pre-assigned spaces might resolve this issue and at the same time add more colour to our Singapore landscape.

King of wishful thinking

I still hope for reconciliation with her but I guess that's wishful thinking on my part. It is depressing because I still love and miss her after all that has happened. Am I insane? I'm so unhappy with my life as a whole.

Blocks

I'm a decent jumpshooter but I do appreciate defensive prowess. I wish I were taller so that I could block shots like this.
