Some random thoughts..
1. The wind is always against me when im skating (Sometimes regardless of the direction im heading). And i start to wonder if im really lightweight or i have a really huge surface area.
2. If i drive a cab one day i will never drive one of the super old yellow top cabs. People get really disappointed that the next cab in line isnt the brand new Hyundai Sonata but a smelly-lookin cab (At least i do.).
3. When i see someone wearin crocs i knew in that instant that we seriously have nothing in common (I dont care if they are waterproof or not).
4. I think im a geek. I download my media, music, books and games online and i buy my clothes, bags, accessories, books, electronics and even food off the web. Oh my and books appeared twice. Or maybe i should say im a geek chic (Sounds more like im making a fashion statement here. But again it still sounds kinda derogative.).
5. I could never understand why is 3 pieces of stones stacked on top of each other considered zen. They might as well use a creative mp3 player instead.
Whatever.

I happened so quickly.
Within a split second i am reduced from such an intricate machine, to a conventional notebook of paper. How depressing. It felt like as if im a millionare who had just filed for bankruptcy or my home was burned down. Seriously, its that drastic. Now i start to understand the importancy of backup. I could never understand why will people buy software to remind you to backup, make a schedule to back up and as a matter of fact backup your entire hdd to ANOTHER hdd. Freakkks. But yup now everything is gone.
Anyway, the occasion epicure is takin over me again. (Though Epicurus was not exactly my favourite philosopher but not that i know of many more anyway). Im havin this terrible cravin for a lemon meringue pie these days but i couldnt seem to find anywhere sellin. But for the time being, any french pastry will do. Or to eat at some branded lookin patisserie that look more like they are sellin some handbags instead of real food. Having some macaroons from Pierre herme will be nice. Or some dessert startin with creme d'something or ganache au chocolat something or endin with blanc or a la vanille.
Im hungry.

Guangzhou and Hongkong June 2007
The weather was too hot in Guangzhou and too rainy in Hongkong. But overall it was still quite a nice trip, although its always better if you were there with friends instead where you can skip some boring stuff and go straight to the interestin parts. But again, its a different kind of experience. Here are some photos taken.

They sure have land and manpower, theres even a security guard standin by the gate and salute whoever or even cars that goes into the hotel. I think his only purpose is to make others feel superior and add some life to the gate.

One of their little pastime that im not as passionate about. First you have to dig some tea leaves using a spatula and smell them while rubbin between your 2 fingers. Next, waste the tea by rinsing the cups, teapot and everything with the tea. Finally, serve them in ridiculously small cups that you will need a thousand of them to quench your thirst. In fact im yearning for a can of coke as i took the photo.

According to the locals, touchin this rock will make you lucky. People believe in anything and everything.

What a weird choice of location to set up a little mobile store in a public park to sell dried gourds and vegetables. And it smells.

Stanley market, a blend of Chatuchak and Bugis village with a hint of Holland village. And suddenly i wonder why have some thai places be embeded so deep in us that we refer to them so simply as if its just in your neighbourhood.

年來了!!!快跑!
Chinese new year seems to be the longest festive season ever. Christmas is nearly as long but the festive mood dies off pretty soon but for cny theres like 人日 and whatever chinese valentine day. Apparently im quite bored during chinese new year. Still remember the story of 年 the monster. Every household will hang up red stuff and make lotsa noise to ward off the monster. Hahaa myths and fables.

Wahahahahaa rest in peace, clippy! From 1997 to 2007. Clippy, the most annoyin thing on Office is gone for good. Its always appearin and askin whether you need assistance or sometimes completely useless stuff like how it like to appear for no apparent reason. Not just the ugly paperclip on a piece of notebook, theres still the wizard merlin and the dog and the cat and the office logo. Byee =D

Sometimes i cant help but to marvel at the efforts of our government. The only plants that grow naturally from the ground are weeds and fungus but yet we are livin in a city in full bloom all year round. Raintrees or Angsana trees growin neatly along the roads, and durin the IMF period, bougainvillea that wasnt there before blossom over night. Uniquely Singapore.

1 月14 日 雨の日
Today is yet another beautiful sunday. I just like the feelin of not settin an alarm to wake me up by a certain time. It feels unrestricted, givin my body clock carte blanche to wake myself as it pleases. Rainy days are good as long as you didnt have to go outside. Theres nothin i have to complete, theres no where that i have to go. If only everyday could be like this..

Its a new year again. Im no longer excited, i had like 21 new years already. I had a fruitful year workin my ass off but spendin them as fast as i earn as well. I had my twenty first birthday this year, steppin into adulthood that is, im able to watch artistic movies, get married without parent consent, pay by installment and have my phone bill billed directly to myself. I had started to have a stable income and at the same time also develop a not as stable spendin need of buyin myself stuff that i need but can live without. And now its the time where people make New Year's resolutions that wont keep and make predictions that wont happen.
New year resolution 2007
1. Enjoy life.
2. Be more efficient. Do less work but accomplish more.
3. Be healthy. Try to exercise regularly.
4. Spend wisely. Do NOT buy unnecessarily.
5. Be puncture. Wake up slightly earlier each day.
As for my new year prediction, i suppose this is another year that i will forget bout' this entire New year resolution by the 2nd week of January and even if i do remember i will always refer back to resolution no.1 and do anythin as i like. This is a waste of time. Happy new year!
