I recently read this book called This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession by Daniel J. Levitin, and there was this part on why people like the...
I can't believe that I've posted only 3 entries here in 2008. I intended to post one last entry before the end of 2008 to give the year some form of closure, but evidently, for...
I'm suffering from post Olympics withdrawals. For the first night today, I flicked the TV on after work and there are no basketball games, diving events, football...
So I see I haven't been blogging for almost half a year. The reason why... well, it's the same old story. Not gonna repeat myself. <ramble>Found a new distraction by...
I was supposed to have written something before 2007 closed, so that at least my series of 2007 entries would have some form of closure, and not end off on some random note....
Credits: www.wangleehom.com Heroes of Earth ("HoE") was the album that turned me into a Leehom fan. It was in 2 words, sheer brilliance. While it dazzled me, it also got me...
I caught Cashback, an M18 movie today. Episode One that made my day Guy at the ticket booth (GatTB): Um, can I have your IC please?Me: (Throws him a...
Anger seems to have become part of my anatomy these days. When my emotions are at rest, I am cross. When they awaken, I boil. I somehow have developed a knack for...
It's ironic how I just have this desire to blog when I am in this current extreme state of wordlessness. After my harrowing one and a half weeks at work (and...
Today, I asked my manager for an internal transfer. Much as I’m tempted to, I wouldn’t say the cliched “I do not know what possessed me to do that” sentence. I know for...
Investing a Saturday on cleaning up one's habitat is definitely worthwhile -- decluttering IS therapeutic. I'm so proud of the end result I actually took pictures. No paragraphs...
I'm one of those people who stash my stuff in the first convenient spot I see, and then tell myself that I'll put them in their correct places once I have...

Somehow, I think the central theme of my teenage and adult life is Frustration. I was never much frustrated as a kid. I lived in oblivious contentment. (And they say...
I decided to give myself a day off work today. And all I can conclude about myself is that I am really just a lazy bag of bones who gets paralysed by choices. When I am...
A tongue-in-cheek attempt at poetry that turned out tragically unpoetic (and unintentionally depressing). If I look at it positively, it has turned out um, lyrical. Hence, I...
I realise I've skipped January altogether when it comes to blogging. Work has just been crazy, and I haven't the time. For the first time in my 2++ years with The Firm,...
Photo Credit: www.wangleehom.com This album (“GSYX”) converted me into a Leehom fan. I’ve never been much of an admirer of his music until I heard this album, which,...
