Had a poly gathering cum celebration at Kai Wen's 21st birthday bbq party. Nice food..cool ambiance and most importantly great hospitality. I said something which I ought not to express so wrongly and I got pissed over some issues. But great thing was that I managed to curb my fiery temper. Yet another episode of me not using my brain before speaking. Can I be less bimbotic? Tsk..must improve on this aspect of social skills. Witty and conducive discussion ya LOL~

And through the media, the news that Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett had passed away brought tears to many people including shocked fans from around the world.

Perhaps MJ would be in a place called Heaven which is better than Neverland..heal the world, make it a better place. Thanks for all the nice songs you have created and the Moonwalk. And Farrah would be reuniting with Charlie as one of the angels in Heaven.

On the very next day, my dear hamster passed away too. I suspect it was cardiac arrest that took his life. Being a staunch animal protectionist, it sort of tore my heart but at least he was not put to sleep. Is just old aged. With the recent big hoo-ha over the dog call Pom Pom who is abandoned by her owner and thrown into a bin, what can I say?

Just some horrifying but amusing entertainment news..which I will not comment on. I admire her flair for flowery words. Or maybe she is in a cloak impersonating Hermione Granger? Click here

The long break has allowed me to ponder on myself. Of the things that I have done, mistakes that I have committed and things that I have experienced. I think life is a double-sided coin. There is bound to be gains and losses. While we embrace gains in life, how well do we react to losses? Situations where we fall into deep trenches. Do I swear of ill-luck, blame it on others, see it as god's punishment on me, curse of unfairness or accept it with poise and dignity? While I have something in life, I may have lost something. Of friends who will never ever able to be as acquainted with me as before, of things that have disappeared, of memories that have faded. I still regret it.

People always mention about moving on with life, to charge forward and that time will heal all wounds. But I guess it is never easy. I think I deem myself as successful when I can move on with life still remembering of the flaws, but not shunning/grimacing and instead smiling at it.

I have witnessed some of the oversea voluntary projects that my friends are executing. Some nights before I sleep with a full stomach, I wondered how many kids out there in the third world are suffering from hunger? Of the amount of food that I ate which could have make them happy and sleeping soundly. Johnny Depp mentioned that "Money doesn't buy you happiness. But it buys you a big enough yatch to sail right up to it." How far do you agree on it?

Have watched (rented) some great movies so far.


The Pursuit of Happyness - Was recommended by an enterpeneur-aspiring friend who attended Chris Gardner's seminar. A father's love for his son could achieve so much!


Twilight - A romantic vampire tale for female like me LOL~ Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen) is hot. His eyes ever so penetrating and bright. I think I am better off reading the novel instead. Fancy a blood-sucking moment from Cullen?


The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Again, Brad Pitt portrays a brilliant role as the dear old Benjamin. I felt so sad when Ben was unable to be together with Daisy. How is it like to be born as an 80 year old man and died as an infant..memories fading as you grow younger and slowly curling up as a baby on your deathbed? I think the OST by Alexandre Desplat is impressive too.



Changeling - A true story starring Angelina Jolie as the grief-stricken Christine Collin who lost her child, Walter. Blame it on the corrupted police force and the sadist who murdered young children. Christine never found her boy but was innocently deemed as psychopathic and locked up in the hospital before a trial was set.

It makes me think of it as almost similar as Sally Clark's trial where she was wrongly accused of murdering her child. This case was discussed during one of my lesson. Meadow's statistically independence theory of the 1 in 73 millions and how the Bayes' Theorem proved otherwise. And in the end...Clark was released in 2007 but was unable to recover from the aftershock of imprisonment. If you are interested and as boring as me, read on: Click Here

Sorry that I bored you with my countless rantings. On randomness, I am still waiting for them to reply. I am so impatient at this moment..I feel so unfulfilled.
