Oh by the way...



After many many years...

... I succumbed.

La Sardina.

Faint cakes



This was for breakfast & lunch.

Since it's still somewhat stuck in throat, it'd be for dinner too.

$11 well spent.

Gyeah!

Mania

Spate of "good luck" hasnt ended.

Have been activated to teleport myself to Kuala Lumpur this weekend to do an event coverage and a couple of interviews.

Need to settle travel plans by today because...ta-da...I am on leave tomorrow.

When you want to go, the whole world conspires with you.

Thank you.

Volcanoes melt you down



And What I am to you is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for the sea

Hey...

...got a problem?

I run

Two months after Hong Kong, I will be running away for 3 days to Krabi.
It's just 3 days...or rather, 2 nights.

Doubt I can do much, but I plan to rest and swim as much as I can.



I'm staying at the Mercure Krabi Deevana and true to my goal of to just space out, I've got the pool access room...

...probably something like this.



Asked my sister to join me and well...I'm paying. Would have been alone otherwise. I could, but really, I'd love to share moments with people. Even if I have to buy their moments. What to do...singleton.

Stop short of asking my parents cause they will bug me incessantly when all I want is to rest. Something which they cannot understand. Why would one pay so much to just...rest?

Well...cause good rest is expensive and hard to come by.

Second-class technocrat

I have always been a techie...since I got my first walkman. I've had a gazillion of them cause I always messed up those bloody things by ripping them apart and not being able to put them back. Then there were discman and all sorts of tape rewinders, radio transistors, pagers, various headphones and all sorts of gadgets courtesy of uncles and Bank of Daddy.

Then when I started to work, it all ended because I couldnt afford all those and Bank of Daddy ceased to exist. So now...when I'm finally more financially-able (just a little bit more only), I can slowly indulge in my passion for techno-ware.

But, I'm still too stingy/cautious (whatever you want to call it!) to buy top premiums and best sellers so I resort to buying used stuff like my black Macbook aka Mandela. And with that spirit, I've got another toy...

...an old DSLR camera.



It's just an old Olympus E420 but I've got it at such a good price and well, I've always wanted a freaking digital SLR (I have a normal SLR...who uses that nowadays? Films? Huh?).

It's an entry-level DSLR but it's all right with me cause I can play with lenses and playing with apertures will keep me occupied for many happy hours. If I am not wrong, this camera is one of the smallest DSLRs around so I can stuff it in my handbag or something.

Cant wait to bring it to Italia and shoot from the hips while rolling down Tuscan grass. It's going to be awesome, though it's just 4 months away and I havent gotten even a single accommodation covered.

Gonna start searching for the next electronic device...

...an all-in-one turntable :)

What's your worth?

I may not lead a perfect life nor am I the most happiest person on Earth.

However, I do believe that you should always do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

That means:
- Stay away from other people's property
- Be kind to other fellow human beings, not just to animals (yes, this reversal is intended)
- Don't be a hypocrite
- If you want to be selfish, then others can too
- Be empathetic
- Have a clean heart. Life's easier that way.

 Simple rules...
...so hard to undertake.

Take away your worldly possessions, and well, who are you really? Are you someone who is proud of yourself? Are you a good child? Sibling? A good friend? Or are you a parasitic creature who just takes and takes but seldom gives, if at all?

If you don't know your worth in kindness, others wont know too.

So, how much are you worth?

For if it is low, how can you not expect others to treat you cheaply?

So again...just how worthy are you?

Safe and sound

I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, Don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...




P/S: I am experiencing the lowest period of my life. So yeah, excuse my melancholy and sadness.

Shakespeare in the Park



It's raining but that wont deter my annual ritual of catching Shakespeare in the Park here at Fort Canning.

It's Twelfth Night this year...last year was Macbeth and the years before were Much Ado Abt Nothing and Midsummer Night's Dream.

Hope it's a good one.

Later.
