The wonderful 80s
Been 20years.. and the song is still singing in my head.
Over the shoulder
Sad isn’t it? A place that used to be bustling with laughter and activities is now a barren land.. a ghost town. With some occasional passer-bys, a hi & a bye, a little nod of acknowledgement if both glances ever met and that’s about all.
Is it time to demolish this rundown old place and open it up to a better future and most probably much better usage? Or would it be worthwhile to hang on to it just a little while longer… hoping that maybe some life will return?
Faithfully serving as my little yet significant time-capsule, re-tracing back the steps, the stories, the past… is not just any ‘Sunday morning-read’. It brings back fresh emotions of anguish, joy and heartaches. While treasuring the past might
be a positive value, reliving it is certainly no walk in the park…
Indeed when your focus is no longer fixed, the realization that boundless opportunities seems to pounce on you at every nook and crank. With such endless and fresh opportunities and a chance to finally set things right in the beginning, it would indeed be foolish to do otherwise.
But a fool’s foolishness is not foolish to the fool….. right?
Think about it...

[ Goodbye ]
再见 - 张震岳
我怕我没有机会
跟你说一声再见
因为也许（就）再也见不到你
明天我要离开
熟悉的地方的你
要分离
我眼泪就掉下去
我会牢牢记住你的脸
我会珍惜你给的思恋
这些日子在我心中永远都不会抹去
我不能答应你
我是否会再回来
不回头
不回头的走下去
It's beautiful
Fate, Destiny & Pain Pte Ltd
Somebody should buy Fate a watch. Don't you ever feel that Fate tends to come at the wrong time? Either too early... or too late, but hardly at the right time. I'm pretty sure too that Destiny is in cahoots with Fate, ganging up ever so often to catch you at the wrong time and playing some really cruel pranks on you.
They must be really young too. Not realising that at times the pranks they play can have a far more hurting consequences. So much that silence is the only scream that I can muster enough to emit.
Pain must be one of the biggest shareholder in the Fate/Destiny partnership, as evident in the ever-increasing value it gains whenever Fate/Destiny goes into action and returns triumphant.
It's a cruel world, isn't it?
A clip for deeper thoughts...
For those who are familiar with our northern neighbour's Negarakuku's saga.. this is a well-thought out clip by Petronas with some hidden agenda about a particular race.
(Pay attention to its process & the ending... it has a message.)
Go figure.
Budding Poets...
Excellent poems by not so famous poets... found on toilet doors and walls..........
A budding poet trying his best...
Here I lie in stinky vapor,
Because some bastard stole the toilet paper,
Shall I lie, or shall I linger,
Or shall I be forced to use my finger.
Before he graduated to be a poet, he wrote this...
Here I sit
Broken hearted
Tried to shit
But only farted
Someone who had a different experience wrote,
You're lucky
You had your chance
I tried to fart,
And shit my pants!
Perhaps it's true that people find inspiration in toilets.
I came here
To shit and stink,
But all I do
Is sit and think.
There are also people who come in for a different purpose...
Some come here to sit and think,
Some come here to shit and stink,
But I come here to scratch my balls,
And read the bullshit on the walls...
Toilets walls also double as job advertisement space.......
(written high upon the wall)
If you can piss above this line, the Singapore Fire Department wants you.
Ministry of Environment advertisement.
We aim to please!
You aim too! Please
On the inside of a toilet door:
Patrons are requested to remain seated throughout the entire performance.
And finally, this should teach some a lesson... (Sign seen at a restaurant:)
The hands that clean these toilets also make your food...please aim properly.
Our Northern Neighbours.

Time-talking
Maybe it's time or mayb it's just the lack of it... time seems to hint it needs to be out for a while... It's been a long time... too long. Time for a time-out, maybe?
( Scratching your head. . . ? I'm not telling. . . go figure. =P )
Nothing is Impossible
H
ow time flies... it's been a month since I've been actively blogging. Being busy isn't the whole story... neither is the lack of topics. On the contrary... many thoughts and grouses has been on my mind, and due to the public nature of this avenue... sad to say, I'm unable to share further.
For those who has been faithful readers through the years might realise there's a certain topic I've been circling in. Topic that pretty much involves going rounds in circles.
To set the record straight.. I'm someone who likes to push ahead, regardless of work, family, friends, love or other matters. I hate procrastinators. To much dismay, at times I'm guilty as charged. However, in my mitigation.. much of my procrastinating often involves external factor that were beyond the boundaries of my control... kinda like a car waiting for the traffic lights to go green.. nothing the driver could do except to wait.
Ok, back to the topic... I really hate when things or situations starts going around in circles. To me, either you stop or move ahead. In my opinion, roundabouts are justifiable only for 1st usage, anymore than that.. its for the indecisive and the unprepared. (For those who are still scratching their scalps, think of how this analogy applies to matters other than driving.)
Probably due to my upbringing, social and work environment, being result-orientated has enabled me to achieved things a little more and a little faster than my peers. As such, seeing much work, time and effort has been spent but returns are often circling in the doldrums.. with no clear indications or improvements in sight, it really got me irritated.
Patience is indeed a virtue, a trait I've painstakingly harnessed and still harnessing thoughout the years. But like a saying goes.. "nothing last forever". Not life, not $$, not even water or air and certainly not Patience.
I've always been a keen believer and practitioner of a faith called: "Chances". Probably a preset feature in my programming during my inception... I strongly believe in the power of the human mind... the ability to affect and induce change. Nothing is permanent. Yes... not even your character nor your habits. It all boils down to HOW important and HOW determined you are in wanting the changes.
Nothing is impossible, just a matter of Wants. (correct me if I'm wrong...)
Transformers for the girls...
Now even the fairer sex are finally treading on our most protected domain.... hiazz..

Bestseller in the making? Or just a flop...
As she steers into unknown waters, her crew made the fatal mistake of assuming the ship's tough enough to withstand all dangers. Barely a few years since leaving port.. cracks have appeared on numerous occasions,
at times.. it seems fate has destined it to be part of the seabed. Yet, thanks to its never-say-die attitude of its crew's tireless repairs and work, hope was never lost and miracles was born.
Maybe its the time, or maybe its the pressure of the high seas. This indomitable attiude of her crew has waned significantly. If this goes uncheck... it could very well mean the end of this ship. She will sink.
Period.
Updates
Phew... what a month! It's been a whirlwind of activities, work and more work with just enough break in between for some much-needed shuteye... hence my lack of posts recently.
Well, guess I own you guys a little update. Hmm.. I can't reveal too much for now but for just a sliver of info, something major is on the cards... not entirely new but a realignment of strategy and focus.
Oh, this is getting fun.. maybe I'll just tease you guys a little further... here's a teaser ad I've done.
Part 1
Part 2 
Apart from work... it's been a pretty turbulent period with plenty of ups & downs. Nothing new or news-worthy, just that I'm really getting tired and pretty sick of it all.
As promised..
The final piece of the puzzle has been fitted... took me an hour last night just to reconfigure all the wirings of the speakers. It's amazing how much dust can accumulate behind and beneath your players, I swear it almost looks like a complete eco-system when I remove my amplifier!
Looking good.. Pass the popcorn, please!
Stay-home weekend!!
it's here!! After eagerly awaiting it for a week... I can finally bask in the full glory of watching LOTR on the 50" plasma widescreen.. Throwing caution to the wind, I turn up the volume and almost max out the sub-woofer... despite it's getting late in the evening. The result? Simple mind-blowing... I'm speechless! Hahhaa.. I can see more movie-nights are on the cards.. Time to stock up on the chips!!
Btw, bought a new TV console.. would be coming in 2 days' time.. shall update with more pics then...
