song in my head

For the past few weeks, there was this sound in my head. Ermm ok not that kind of sound that goes "murder inky" but close.

I have been trying to figure out the title for this song but all i can mumble is the chorus that goes "I love you" x3. So Inky wipe out his precious pda phone and show me how to google for it.

Impress. very impress

didgeridoo reduced snoring

Reuters, LONDON: Researchers have discovered that playing the didgeridoo (an ancient wind instrument of the Australian Aborigines) reduces snoring and daytime sleepiness for those with obstructive sleep apnea. The condition occurs when the airway is obstructed during sleep, and results in the sufferer gasping for breath, snoring loudly, snorting and constantly waking up. It carries an increased risk of stroke, heart attacks and high blood pressure. Swiss experts, after hearing anecdotal reports of how playing the didgeridoo reduced snoring, decided to study how it could....

story from the tank 2

Having gotten 7 new prawns lately, I eagerly placed them in my tank. Its then I realised that they aint the same species as my resident prawn and kinda gave him a hard time.

2 days later, I found the empty shell of my resident prawn with him nowhere in sight. I guess my babies have once again cold murder him. I shed a tear for him and decided that I need to get bigger prawns from now on.

As for the remaining 7 prawns, I gave away 1 and as of today only 2 were seen around. Seem to me the rest got eaten once more. I swear I feed my fishie suffiently. But I got a good feeling they are bored enough to bite anyone who appears to be naked to them. *sob

story from the tank

I have so many fish stories... that i decided to share with you guys.

For a while now, I have notice that 1 out of 8 of my babies were slightly different. He is a whole lot slimmer and has more yellowish fins as compare to the rest. Its then I realise He is a He while the rest are ladies. You might be thinking what a lucky guy he is. But the truth is fish mate differently from humans.

Oh and he is such a terror. He marked out a space at the bottom of the tank as his own. Any of the ladies who came nearby would be immediately chase away. Very dominating. the rest of the girls would just crowd around the top corner of the tank to get my attention. I guess they are probably thinking, if I look hungry enough BLM would feed me.

BTW there is no moral to this story

So what is a Turducken?

snails and the holiday spirit

Just to let you know, I was real busy in the morning. Finishing up 2 reports and making calls and such.

Then my boss left and all hell broke loose. We went to vivo for lunch. We din have a long lunch cos we wanted to spend the time shopping. And I got a new watch.

Anyway, after we came back 2 hrs later we were all lost with this lack of management. I spend the time catching snails and counted 14 little slimeballs in my cup.

Too bad I have to get out of office tomorrow.

Pic from my trip

After 3 trips to the same location.... I brought to you silly pic taken with aileen (my phone)


A trip to the beach on a sunday when the weather was sunny.
It was only sunny for 2 days out of the 15 days we were there.




We had to rent 2 cars for our trip this time. Yes one is a BMW and the other is an Audi. Ermm... we needed the space.




The is the hotel we been staying. Its only 2 stars but the guys who run it did an excellent job with their services and smiles. And its only run by 3 persons.




A typical French meal last 2.5 hours. We normally ordered an entree, main and dessert but the restaurant has a habit of inserting appetizer, fancy side dishes and delightful pastries. Oh and I was in a region famous for Duck. Not just the meat.




This is a view from my window. I stayed on the 2nd floor and cant see much further then the shop roof next to us. But hey, I thought its a nice pic still.



We did make a trip to Paris after the work was done. Having only hours of time on our side, we could only shop. and yes ladies, the bottom left pic is the giant LV store. 3 levels of LV stuffs.




On another rare day we had good sunlight, we managed to capture the sun setting.

Macquarium

I would like one of these.

In other news, my colleagues alerted me to a "cooked" prawn found in my fish tank. As I inspect the prawn today, I found thats its actually the remains of my big ugly prawn (which I have grown to love).

There is pieces of prawn shells everywhere and its pale pinkish body.

He was molting peacefully and somehow my 8 babies must have gotten hungry.

beep beep

Annoy-a-tron from ThinkGeek as a great way to express your true feelings to these people. It’s basically a small circuitboard about the size of two quarters but what it’s capable of is worth far more than 50 cents. You see the Annoy-a-tron is designed to produce a short beep in random intervals ranging from 2 to 8 minutes. Just select one of the three sound options including 2kHz, 12kHz or alternating and then stash the Annoy-a-tron somewhere discrete and hidden in the proximity of your target person. If hidden well enough the Annoy-a-tron could be the gift that keeps on giving for weeks and weeks.

Why you should go on holiday while on Leave

Besides the obvious reason.... here is the reason which I stumble upon myself.

After spending 2 days at home resting, I ended up spending more time with just my mom. At first its the usual chat, then it turns to nagging.

First Nag

Mom: Please clean your room! Its worst than a garbage dump.
Me: Yes mom.

(Job done in couple of mins to my standard)


Second Nag

Mom: Go get your winter clothings!! You will be flying off soon!!
Me: Yes mom.

(Shopping done in a short couple of hours)


Third Nag

Mom: Boy ah, you are not getting any younger. Why don't you go and find a Girlfriend, huh?
Me: .....
Me in my head: Its not like shopping lor. Not to mention you didnt like it when I had a girlfriend 10 years ago, why you rushing me now?

Clever dog

A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful pet dachshund along for company. One day, the dachshund starts chasing butterflies and before long the little dog discovers that he is lost. So, wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious intention of having lunch.

The dachshund thinks, "OK, I'm in deep trouble now!" Then he noticed some bones on the ground close by, and immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat.

Just as the leopard is about to leap, the dachshund exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around here?" Hearing this, the leopard halts his attack in mid-stride, as a look of terror comes over him, and slinks away into the trees. "Whew," says the leopard "that was close, that dachshund nearly had me."

Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So, off he goes, but the dachshund saw him heading after the leopard with great speed and figured that something must be up.

The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard. The leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine."

Now the dachshund sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?" Instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet...

And just when they get close enough to hear, the dachshund says, "Where's that darn monkey? I sent him off half an hour ago to bring me another leopard."

Blue car

Caught this car while its parked somewhere in Bugis area yesterday. I must say, its quite unique

Leaving on a jet plane once more

Hey guys, I would be leaving for France once more.

And though it might look like a wonderful traveling destination.... I am only there for work. And NOOO! Its not in Paris and I wont be anywhere near the Effiel Tower.

On a side note, I would be taking any overseas order you might have. For those keen on LV stuffs, please email me the item number, colour and preferably a photo of it. I am a guy after all and WE would would think all the brown bags look the same.

I should be back for Christmas. I think.

stress

I am an endless ringing sound in my left ear for the past 2 days now. It has kept me from sleeping and gives me a bad headache.

To make it worse, I was out at sea this morning. Had to wake up an hour after I managed to shut my eyes. I was dreading to go to work today but I have to. Work needs me.

The ringing persisted constantly and my attention began to slip by. Giving up a few times, I went for some smokes before dragging myself back.

And then I learned that the trial results aint satisfactory. Good news, we get to arrived before midnight. Bad news, we have to do this shit again.

As I walked away toward my home, I thought back that a year ago I was having the longest break of my time. The period before I start work and after I grad was a dream. Nowadays any attempts of taking leave might mean I might have to cancel it later.

Sighs. The ringing still has not stopped. and I have to work again tomorrow.

Torn (again)

Fish tank 2.0

I have upgraded my tank....

well to be correct, after weeks of not having time to take care of it (as well as over zealous colleagues who helped me in feeding). My tank has turned into a yellowish nightmare. There is lots of shit which the filter could not reach that kinda end up becoming an eye sore.

Soooo, I bought new plants and employed 3 tiny yamato prawns to help in keeping the tank clean and clear.

Here is the new look

Snap Electronics

I did learn my Electronics the hard way and the only way we all know. Thats by designing the circuit, soldering the component, test, debug, test again, debug again, curse, break board and start all over again.

Its definately help make me a better engineer. So when I saw this THING. I cant help but feel its cheating. Shortcuts get you nowhere.

On the other hand, make a good gift for a 5 year old.

Guess what I bought (again)

Well after catching Gundam Seed, I kinda like the bad ass Aegis Gundam. And using a free cash voucher I bought the bugger.

Took me 2 hours to completely fixed up the whole thing. and though it feels a little flimsy, I must said that its quite a beauty.

Oh and while I was in HMV, they were showing Transformer the Movie.

There is a scene where Devastator was destroying Autobot City and Optimus Prime was just arriving with Reinforcement.

OP to Grimlock: "Grimlock, destroyed Devastator!"

Digital love

Last night I had a dream about you
In this dream I'm dancing right beside you
And it looked like everyone was having fun
the kind of feeling I've waited so long

Don't stop come a little closer
As we jam the rythm gets stronger
There's nothing wrong with just a little little fun
We were dancing all night long

Off again on monday

The last couple of weeks have been a busy period for me. Hardly had the time to even finish up my work.

I was looking forward to finding a time to get some rest. And tomorrow is a perfect opportunity. With 2 ships sailing, there is hardly any work at all. So guys have fun in my absence.

The last kiss

I saw this while waiting in line for the movie The Departed.

It has one of my fav comedian actors in it. Wish I caught his earlier works.

Saw the departed

Caught the Departed with my colleagues. I must say, if I din see the HK version, I would have thought this is an excellent movie. But now its only Great.

The acting, direction and pace of the movie were in balance of each other. Quite rare of the the past few movies the Director made.... He probably copied too much from the original... but lets not go there. In fact, the point of this post is nothing to do with what I think of the movie. But rather what I saw.

The microprocessor chips which are mean to launch missiles are made by ST!

Francis's Wife (GF/Sex partner/"bodyguard") was reading a magazine "Getting Pregnant" when they are in their night robes.

There were some scene, the camera din obey the 180 degree rule

etc

I guess the film art module I took made me see more details than usual.

Glad to take it.

Lunch and more at NUS

I finally pop by my old school for lunch today. dragging my colleagues along, i introduced them to jiazi at Business canteen. Its the first time for them, although 2 of them were former engineering students as well. *looks other way*

Lunch was fabulous and soon after we walked toward the bus stop to take us back to work. I stopped by the NUS publication, called The Ridge and took a copy. I recalled I used to like to grab a copy to check out the funny articles inside and the amusing pictures they have.

Sadly it seem that The Ridge has been taken over by and all Art students editor team. Every pages is flooded with thousands of words (I aint kidding). I swear I just picked up an ugly dictionary by accident.

No wonder why there aint any commercial sponsers

Pac man

Din know that did you?

Prawn fishin

Its my Family day once more (dont ask) and we are going to do some Prawn fishing tml somewhere in CCK.

Anyhow, kinda feel bad that I am fishing prawn since I do have one sitting patiently on my desk (in the tank).

I thought I might want to rear the prawns I caught tml, but BBQing them is a good idea too.

Anyway... I decided its time to name my fishes. They would all be given a name and all starting with the letter A. Why? I dont know, just happen to name all my stuffs that way.

wanna help?
