The Percussionist
2007-08-19 21:48:00
Guys in a band, rock band or otherwise, usually receive lots of attention from girls. Particularly the drummer. In any band performance or for that matter sunday worship, my attention falls first on the lead singer then the guitarist then the drummer and for the rest of the performance or service it's the drummer. There is some kind of charm eluded when you see him perform with that rocky of jazz music. Problem is, these guys are usually that kind of guy you should stay away from. The kind of guy you wouldn't want to get involve with.

Sometimes you get this funny feeling you can't explain why. It's a kind of anxiety, worried, anticipating feeling. Human, especially women have this sensitivity, in this case, extra sensitivity to the changes in the surrounding and predators approaching. You feel threatened by the changes cos it's not what you're used to or who you are. You wonder what's it like to be on the other side or to be the other person. It makes you think about your life, how different and better it would have been to be the on the other side. You start questioning have you truly live your life or wasting away. Time is not on my side, the older you grow, the more worried you get. Have been spending recent nights watching this Korean drama till morning, still watching it. It just dawn on me the reality in life. There's possibly no unfailing love and happily ever after. We are so uneducated by fairy tales.

What do you do when disaster struck? How can something so cruel happens in a family all in one day? Losing the oldest and the youngest in the same day. You wonder why God would let this happen. My troubles looks so much more meaningless compared to his sufferings.

Angry people
2007-08-30 05:44:00
Certain people
have an angry character. They go round looking pissed off or gets pissed off by everything else around them. It could be for legitimate reasons, judging how the world has gone dumber each day. I notice angry people have certain similarities. They are usually big. Of a certain built. By that, i mean muscular. They shave their heads most of the time. They frown and look irritated at everything on sight. Amusingly, they still look quite approachable with a look like that. People will still go up to them, which pissed them off even more. They look a little mysterious to you, cos you wonder what pissed them off. Do they even notice you. Strangely, these people have a certain charm about them. No matter how angry they look, you still want to know them.

Thank God for this beautiful day in Bintan, my first trip to Bintan. First of all, I'm most impress with our Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal. Couldn't believe how modern and high tech it's evolved. From the scanning of tickets to the variety of shops and duty free. We boarded the first ferry in the morning to Tanjong Pinang. It's already packed with people at 8am in the morning. Singaporeans are indeed true to their name. Kiasus, Kia-see and according to my BSF leader, Kia-bo-lui. (If you don't understand this, ask any Singaporean or drop me a line.) Approximately two hours ride across the sea (i still have no idea what sea it is. Probably South China Sea). Ride was smooth, rocking you to sleep in their air-conditioned cabin. On the deck you find Singaporeans in spagetti and shorts and sunglasses all dress for holidays at the resort. We arrived there greeted by swarms of taxi drivers offering their services. Fortunately we know better who to choose. The mission for today is to visit vi

There are people, especially man, who conceals their emotion. Always. More often than not, the more you want to hide, the more obvious it is. Like i said before, you really cannot assume about someone if the person has not allowed you to know him. I mean, I always thought he's only insterested in his business and work. He acts nonchalantly about sensitive issues, about people. He doesn't display emotions generally. Sometimes
you hate him for being so stupid and a bully. But when disaster struck, it's silence and paleness and more hiding. Your heart soften and weaken when you see the lost of evil smile, the lost of that familar confidence and arrogrance.You rather he be happy and hate him than to see him down and lost cos when he's evil, you know you only hate him. When he's pale and aged, you don't know what to do, what to say or feel. I hope he recovers fast. I rather he be boyish and stupid than to be sad and lost.
So long...

It's been a while since I last post. The long silence is mainly due to lack of materials to write about and partly due to an occupied mind. Now, that's an oxymoron right there. Anyway, I wonder who's reading a blog of someone who doesn't have much life. Chances are, nobody's reading this but i still wonder who are the slightly over hundred readers on this blog. Probably passer-bys who stayed here for 30 seconds. In the words of my favourite blogger, people who read blogs are intelligent people. Yet he doesn't know who would give a s*** about his boring life. Which to me, his life as a bouncer in NYC is a hell lot more eventful than mine. BUT I wouldn't trade the world to be in his place tho'. Feelin' lethargic lately. The most exciting thing i've done this week that keeps me looking forward is my subscription to National Geographic. wow.. how exciting. I've only been back to work for 4 months and i'm yearning for a break again. I want to go back to those amazing places in t

"And you know about the SIA crash incident in Taiwan? They've a story behind it." "Yeah, many people died. Was it 80 people? It was supposed to fly to LA." "It was the pilot's fault. He didn't check the route plan beforehand and drive on to the wrong runway. It's so important to check the plan before flying.""Yea but there's another side of it. The airport has faults too. The lighting was on, on the wrong runway. That misled the pilot. And the crane shouldn't be there in the first place. It's so dangerous to leave the crane on the runway even if it's unused." "Yea but you know they've a rumour about what happened. You remember the SIA girl who was raped and murdered in LA sometime back? "Yea, why?""It was said that when the accident happened, they quickly do a head count on board. And the crew reported that they saw an extra woman passenger. Wearing red. The crew recognise it was her. You know how the chinese believe after the dead wears red, she's coming back for revenge." "

I love war movies. There's so much love, brotherhood, intelligence, military jargons and not to mention bloody images in them. But I don't like war, of course.I'm beginning to see where V is coming from when he said Americans are stupid. V said how American are trying to force their idea of democracy on others is a foolish idealistic idea."It's not possible to conquer the Muslims. It's just the way they are. You've to accept that."What do you get out of a war?In one of my last post in july, I was wondering why do men go to war. It was well said in this movie."It's all about the man next to you.And that's all it is. That's all it's about."I remembered having dinner with this American guy in Pennsylvania last winter. He was then to be sent to Iraq in 2 months time to replenish the US military force there."I'm going there so that my brothers and sisters can come home for New Year." That must have echoed what was said in the movie.

My goodness! Call me old-school but this still comes shocking to me. People do things to release themselves from loneliness especially when you're out of town for a while. That's fine. What became clear to me was what man do to quit boredom. I mean I already know what some would do but when it came real life before you, it's still surprising. I guess you see how disputable the character of a person can be. Beneath the 'good boy' facade, comes a corroded character. I wonder if TGG would do the same where he is. As much as I like to believe otherwise, the truth is, I would never know. "Your company has this F guy, quite good looking one is it? He's a S guy rite?""Yea. He's new.""I saw him at Taka last weekend with this girl. That's his girl friend
is it?""Yea. I think so. He has a girlfriend here.""She big rite? Tall and big-size.""Big size? No she's slim. Then it's not her. Are you sure it's him?""Yea. This guy I can recognise him. They were very intimate.""Maybe they're jus
Land of a thousand smiles

Here's what I learnt reccently; going to Thailand can be considered exotic to some people. It may be true in some sense, I mean I'm sure the land has alot to show of its exotism, just that Bangkok was a little....well, less than expected. When we first touched down, I'd expected warm friendly smiles greeting us at the airport. What we received was however, a rather hostile custom check. I couldn't help but wonder was that a repercussion of a political tension between Singapore and Thailand. You know, i get sensitive about these things. If you really hate someone to the extend of burning their national flag, could you possibly put behind that animosity easily even if it's a year ago. Anyway, throughout the trip I became wary not to reveal our national status. That aside, Bangkok can be a lovely place with beautiful people. I enjoy the cheap taxis rides amidst the heavy traffic jam. Now, we all know how infamous traffic in Bangkok can be. The jam is really something you wouldn't wa

The photo is the 'Pulitzer prize' winning photo taken in 1994 during the Sudan famine. The picture depicts a famine stricken child crawling towards an United Nations food camp, located a kilometer away.The vulture is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat it. This picture shocked the whole world. No one knows what happened to the child, including the photographer Kevin Carter who left the place as soon as the photograph was taken.Three months later he committed suicide due to depression.

Christmas isn't christmas till it happens in your heart
2007-12-24 06:33:00
Christmas has been crazy this year. While the frenzy comes every year and the lightings in Orchard Road tries to live up to its name year after year (if truth be told, it gets uglier each year), I never hated Christmas so much as this year. Contrary to what Christmas appears to be or what people make it out to be- all warm, cozy, lovely, merry, jolly, it's really a loney, busy, over blown up event. I read in the papers it can be lonely and envious for some because you would always be thinking the other person is having more fun partying than you are. Well, it doesn't matter how many parties you attend or how many presents you received or how many wine dinners you attend. It's a matter of the heart. No matter how lively it's blown up to be, it can still not lift your spirit up to the same level as the season. Sometimes I wonder is the other person truly enjoying the party. Does it match his spirit? I think one of the reason why we don't enjoy it the way we should is because it has

"Sir, you want shawl? You can buy for your girlfriend. Only one dollar.""You buy from me please sir, only one dollar.""Ok, maybe later you buy from me, madam? What's your name madam? I'll remember you."Cambodia is a country where people live by a dollar a day, or slightly more than a dollar a day. It saddens me to see kids running around naked, babies hungry, asking for a dollar. Cambodia has a sad history of continuously being invaded and robbed by Siams and Vietnam. In the ancient kingdom of Cambodia, the Khmer kingdom, they were once rich and powerful. Kings built magnificent temples for themselves, self-glorification. It's like a competition, a way of comparing how powerful a king is by building bigger more beautiful temples than the kings before. These temples are as old as 10th to 1

Wedding dresses and WMD

I used to love weddings. Catching up with old friends, great food, beautiful bride, just the joy of the whole event. Until about 3 years ago, I still like weddings. I like attending my peers' wedding because they're my friends. I'm sincerely happy for them. It's also a great opportunity to catch up with old time friends, people whom you soon realise you only see them on two occasions - weddings and funerals. Quite recently, I've begun to hate going for weddings. In fact, I found myself consciously or unconsciously, finding excuses for not being able to attend weddings. "I'm working on that day but congrats anyway.""Oh, It's a little too early for me. I might not be able to make it. I'll try my best." "It's too late for me. I've something on in the evening.""The church's too far from my hou

10 Things to give thanks in 2007

Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;Sing praises on the harp to our GodWho covers the heavens with clouds,Who prepares rain for the earth ,Who makes grass to grow on the mountains.He gives to the beast its food,And to the young ravens that cry.He does not delight in the strength of the horse;He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear Him,In those who hope in His mercy.Psalm 147:7-11This was a paragraph from QT this morning. Aptly so, I should praise and give thanks for this year. Below are 10 things I can recall at this moment. There're defintely more things to be thankful for. The list is in no order of importance or priority. I'm equally thankful for all things.1. Thank God for enabling me to successfully attain my driving license after 5 hard trie

I love American Idol. Never miss a season of it. Granted, running at season 7 now, the talents seem to be running dry. Nontheless, there will always be two contestants in every season who will stand out. One is the all talented, sings beautifully, highly popular from the start, promising winner. Examples of such are Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson and the likes of them. The other is what we call the Underdog. Didn't attract as much attention in the beginning, a little vulnerable from being eliminated but definitely stood the test of pressure and tension. Cooked under such squashing pressure boilings forth the true hidden talent and the tenacity to perform their best and most of all to impress the sexy, witty, proud, all-knowing singing expert Simon Cowell. Carly Smithson did it well when

The difference between the two is
