Good and Bad Me

i know i sometimes annoy you...
i know i can be a pain in the a**
and i know i need to improve..

but maybe i have some plus points too i don't know about?
blind spots perhaps?
maybe there are some reasons why u still wanna be my friend?

if you happen to be a personal friend or close acquaintance of mine, or even someone who has had a certain amount of interaction with me in the past or currently, can you kindly do my Johari Window (Angel-me) and Nohari Window (Devil-me) please..?

Thanks a bunch.. :p (last ditch effort to get more plus points for my Johari window.. wahahaha..

Homosexuality in Singapore

MM Lee Kuan Yew recently said that "homosexuals are mostly born that way." The Government has in effect adopted a "don't ask, don't tell" policy. With Singapore becoming more cosmopolitan, should society also be more open towards homosexuality?

Recent sightings...

pics from my samsung x820 .. what strange images i document on seemingly average days.. sometimes i don't even remember until i see the pics again for downloading...



from top (left to right): 'L' from Deathnote acting all aloof, a goldfish ignores ChannelnewsAsia, new HDB blocks, a gathering of chihuahuas, cold cream noodles from waraku (ummm.. nice..), a standard poodle pensive and pondering, reflections on Riverside Point, overhanging clouds, a bizarre soft toy, hideous crow paper decor hanging in the NIE canteen (couldn't figure out if it was for attracting or to ward off the crows??), a frighteningly enormous moth, leaf silhouettes outside suntec mall

Wings: A Tribute



This is so terribly touching....

Visit to the Esplanade area

yet another visit to this definitely over-photographed tourist spot but this time with an excited group of photo club students and no tripods :p.. made good use of railings, lampposts and steady hands... pardon me if these pics are rather cliché.. i wasn't particularly imaginative on Friday nite..haha...

A Rather Amazing Dog

Domokun Ipod Case


someone make me a Domokun Ipod casing pleeeeaaaseee!!!! this is sooooo cute!!! the "furry monster ipod casing" tutorial is here..

on the side.. am waiting for the "other colours" of the Creative Zen Stone to come out.. S$69 for 1gb.. something to accompany me on my runs... :)

finally.. i'm persuaded to switch from Ipod... :p .... half the price leh!! (instant lesson for econs students: consider cross elasticity of demand for ipod with respect to the price of creative's mp3 players..:p)

The Bird Outside The Office Window



the nest's been built and the olive-backed sunbird mother awaits her babies... she sits staring out from the tiny window for hours patiently..

Dolphin Slaughter



i dont' know if this is going to offend anyone but if it is the truth and the truth offends, so be it..

nonetheless, maybe the eating of meat will always be an act of cruelty.. and in that sense, i am a hypocrite... :(.. i don't know.. maybe one day, i'll turn vegetarian after all..

in case u wanna petition.. u can try this site or this one, both are addressed to the "Prime Minister of Japan".

Otters holding hands



i've been meaning to post this up for a while but never got round to it.. more than 5 million views, in case u haven't seen it..enjoy :).. the lighter coloured one is asleep and just floating around, held on by the dark grey one...watch it till the end, it gets really really cute!!

i want to be an otter too!! :) hold hands, float around and get fed.. no more marking!! wheeeee...

The Nest Outside My Office Window

when this female olive-backed sunbird began building its flask-shaped nest a couple of days ago, just a mere 10cm from my office cubicle window, i couldn't believe how lucky i was...


it's so incredibly lovely..

i still can't believe how lucky i am... from what i read, it looks like she's going to be around for at least another month or so... :)

life is made up of little pleasures just like this one :">

You say it is a frog and I say it is a horse!


We have to respect each other's opinion;

You're not wrong but neither am I! I'm not wrong but neither are U!

We just need to wait and listen actively to others' point of view;

Make a conscious choice to figure out why the other person sees it the way they do..

We might just discover something new for ourselves too! :)

Farm Visit to Kranji Countryside



yet another visit to the farms of the far (then again, how far can far be??) north of Singapore ... but still quite fun.. :) the area has some nice new eateries around worth dropping by for lunch or a snack.. check out Petals & Leaves Bistro (Ngee Phoe) - food's pretty ok and great ambience, open only in the weekends... and there's of cos Poison Ivy Bistro at Bollywood Veggies.. a good morning out before the midday showers came :)

SPCA visit



dropped by SPCA yesterday afternoon to rub the tummies of the doggies, scratch the faces & necks of the kitties and pat the furry heads of the bunnies.. the cats were sleepy, the dogs were frisky and the rabbits were .. err..quiet..

therapeutic. :) albeit the crowd...

lots of beautiful and friendly pets awaiting good homes.. please don't buy pets from the pet shops. Please adopt if you can.

Kiwi!



the youtube award winner, in case you haven't seen it.. so meaningful... the kind of stuff i like.. :">

"Kiwi!" is an animation about a Kiwi - a type of bird that cannot fly, who spends its whole life working towards achieving his dream. The kiwi strived to create the illusion that it was flying over a forest as it soared down through the sky from the top of a cliff. Thus, the kiwi spent what must have been its whole life nailing trees to the side of a cliff. All this, to fulfil its one dream of flying, even though it was technically unable to. There are several powerful messages behind Kiwi, but mainly, it makes you think: no matter how absurd and seemingly out of reach your dreams are, what's stopping you from achieving them?

something to encourage all of us dreamers out there.. :)
