Time flies

I’m surely lost track of what has been happening around me with so many things for me to keep track within these few month. The saddest thing? It’s the end of this year, 2010 which marked a lot of tragedy in news, perhaps the decade. And it also made me realized that I have been living for more than 2 decade, “invisible” burden that has been building up on me, which makes me wonder what it would really feel like being a 30 years old or a 50 years old person. I miss being a kid.

Sure one would argue that having a property or car or money at your disposal at this point of time is the utmost important thing in life, however I can’t shake the fact that I can survive on merely 10 Ringgit for a week when I’m young. I just have no idea on what kind of pressure that one-man would need to endure in taking up mortage, loan that literally holds that person down to 30 years, unless they are exceptionally stable financially, which you can make a one-off payment to big-sum-items like house. I guess that is probably the part of living, and getting old. No more that you will hear people around you talking about things you used to like during childhood, except marriage, wealth and having children. It’s pretty interesting to always step back and have a look at the path you’re walking down the road.

I surely do enjoy this few month with several interesting thing happened to me. Starting with a weekend picnic at Marina Barrage.

[Random] What’s for lunch today?

MC lunch. Took few pictures of the process. The result was…ehem. This would be officially the third time I cooked for lunch. This was a collaboration with Ms. Canny. *cough*

The end result, dishes including egg custard with minced meat, old cucumber soup, some kind of fish with ginger, and some messed up vegetables (I’d admit it’s me ). 1 Word of advice, if you know nothing about cooking, do not worry, I don’t as well, read up on the “correct” instruction in preparing a dish, this will at least make you enjoy your fruit of labor without pain in the toilet later

[Life] An agency’s life

It has been a while since there is a change in my life in terms of career opportunity, but I had been offered a place in an interesting agency. The time’s not long due to I’ve decided to make a tough decision and start things on my own after 2 months of my service there. It’s a short time but fun.

The usual joint that I’ll stay before board the bus to Singapore every Sunday night. Look at OdysseyNow. Good and honest service.

[Rant] Looking towards a new direction

It could just have been more than half a year I have not been blogging officially on my life except bit and pieces on some interesting thing I have found. Been working as a designer in Singapore for the past 2 year, a lot of thing has grown to me, in all aspects. And there’s a period of time I felt strongly that I have to move on and look for something that I believe and meant to do in the beginning but just because limited by resources.

Pictures below are taken somewhere around the last month of me in Yolk. It’s good time.

[Rant] May Flu Bless You

It must have been a while since there is a proper update on what is happening around my life in the past month. I hate it during this period of time so much, but it’s something that we will have to go through, some seasonal flu shit, in a more larger scale nowadays. The month of May has been a crazy one with so many sleepless nights and people around getting infected with the “seasoned” flu, and people getting paranoid over a lot of things.

Well one of the highlight would be my frustration over my macbook’s keyboard are finally curbed with this below. I know it does come with a hefty price tag for a keyboard, but it’s either i fork 500 ringgit for the replacement on the top cover (i didn’t buy ACPP, damn) or vice versa) 

It’s actually pretty well built, and I think most of the newer iMac owners would appreciate this old fine keyboard. 

Would take a bit of  getting used to that some of the function keys are repositioned. But my overall impression on this keyboard, is really good. The build’s pretty solid, the keys felt snappy and you can type pretty fast on it, just probably the most common question would arise from everyone’s mouth after a while, how would you clean it?

And no, I didn’t buy the album, in fact, I won it, (or precisely, “we”, my girlfriend and I were walking down the Orchard Road after dinner in Singapore) from some street event by a local radio station here. Just some random Q&A and got it

I still think they’re pretty… experimental to me.

Hot hot heat!
It’s undeniably also a freaking hot month to come for us. And reported on the news that the temperature might go up by few degrees more. Some of the capture taken along the balcony at my workplace. I hope you’ll be able to feel the heat from the heavy shadow casted on the floor. Yes, it’s that hot.
