How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand there is no going back? There are some things time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep that have taken hold.

Another day passes me by.

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

It’s been quite a quiet couple of weeks for me. No partying, no drinking etc. I’m enjoying my cheap entertainment at home, with a couple of occasional booze from 7-11.
Gaming, watching movies. Actually, I’m quite hooked on LotR recently. I’ve been playing Battle for Middle Earth II and re-watching the movie trilogy. Didn’t really have [...]

What?! No live telecast?

Monday, July 28th, 2008

What a farce.
The Samba boys hit our shores for a friendly match and Mediacorp decides not to show it live on TV!

Apparently it’s not to affect the sales of the match tickets which many believed to be grossly overpriced in the first place. But that’s another story.
I mean… It’s the Singapore team playing on Singapore [...]

If we could just let go and enjoy.
Life is already cluttered as it is.
Why load ourselves with extra burdens?

How ironic is life?

Monday, July 21st, 2008

The whole world kisses your ass when you’re on the rise, yet the very same people kick you around like a football when you’re down in the dumps.
In my life, I’m constantly trying to escape from what has saved me. Too much of a good thing may actually do you harm. Legalism, obsession, conformism, indoctrination; [...]

Red Cliff

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Star-studded, draggy, cheesy; yet at the same time, enjoyable enough to make you come back for more.

The Dark Knight

Friday, July 18th, 2008

Alright I’m lazy today. Let’s cut it short.

I don’t like to mince my words. This is the movie of the year, so far.

Heather Ledger deserves a posthumous Oscar.

And Prison Break fans would enjoy seeing a familiar face on screen.

Gary and Robin go to town.

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Another Harold and Kumar day. Haha. Met up with Robin after his work.
We were both seriously tired. Robin, with his “everyday is exactly the same” programming work. Me? I’m down with some bacteria/virus or whatever. Furthermore, I had just 6 hours of sleep (6! What! I usually have 9-10!) and woke up at an unearthly [...]
