Just got this and at first look, it didn’t feel so addicitve. Once i got the hang of how the game works, i was totally hooked.

Here are my latest creature creations:

Meow… What do you want? Hey look… it’s an iPhone 3G.. Smile… Meow

Before this, i only know how to do a normal search string and searching for the string through the whole document. Now i can search and replace all.. Yay!

First occurrence on current line:      :s/OLD/NEW
Globally (all) on current line:        :s/OLD/NEW/g
Between two lines #,#:                 :#,#s/OLD/NEW/g
Every occurrence in file:              :%s/OLD/NEW/g

I feel as if i have put myself on some social experiment. Yes i go clubbing, social gatherings and i hang out with random friends. Outcome of it is that i gained friends from more walks of life. It is not a life changing experience but i think i am learning more about myself in awkward social situations and also networking sessions. 

Drinking and clubbing isn’t that bad (just stay away from the booze if possible). It does open you up to more business opportunites. But only if you are working right now.

Was walking along Orchard Road from Tanglin mall towards Wheelock Place. This 60- to 70-ish lady happened to be walking beside me and asked..

Lady: Excuse me, young man, How to get to CK Tang? [Pointing into the road into Hard Rock Cafe] Can i get there if i walked here?

Me: Oh, just walked straight along this way [Pointing in the direction of CK Tang at Forum].

After walking about 200m and reaching Hilton..

Lady: Do you know where is Regent Hotel?

Me: [I am quite bad with hotel names] I am sorry, auntie. I do not know.

Lady: You know Singapore people are very nice people. ********ians tell you directions and they walk away or even rob you.

Not knowing what to say to her, i just followed her…

Lady: How old are you? Are you still schooling?

Me: 28…

Lady: Are you sure? You look like you are still schooling.

Me: Auntie, that was 2 years ago. I am already working.

She went on to talk about some stuff on why i still look young. Something about doing good stuff.

We reached the Wheelock place junction and we bade farewell. Her farewell struck me… “God bless you”.

The reason why i decided to start on this post is that her farewell reminded me that i have been a lost sheep. Perhaps it’s a sign…

I dunno how to title this post because i am having random thoughts right now.

About work, stress is chasing me right now when the perpetual go-live date is round the corner. Good thing i can still cope technically. The thing i do not have is time and hands. I hope people can see that i am trying very hard.

About a healthy lifestyle, now that i found my equilibrium to my work schedule. I can fit in my healthy activities like runs and rowing. Today is a good start with two sessions of dragonboat with Hougang sec and ACJC alumni. My arms have been itching.

About love, i am fool in this aspect. But i treasure friendship over selfishness now. I think it is rather selfish to want to try and “be with” someone. You might lose a friend. But looking at my lifestyle and daily activities, i most probably end up living a single’s life. I am pretty ok with that but the sucky thing is that you have no one to turn when you need someone. I cope pretty well on my own in a matter of fact though i am still in search of my movie buds. However, having said all these, i am restraining myself to “feel” again because i have found that feeling again. Even if i have to just keep our hang outs to late night one, i really have no qualms about it. I know you know but this friend of yours is “waiting” even till he becomes an uncle.

About the past, i have put it behind me. I am happy to see that its a happier ending right now. There are times when memories come back but they are all but memories.

About people i just met, through friends, i appreciate all those that welcome me and tolerate my social aptitude.

That’s all… To a great new year ahead… =)

One simple but happy night… Even though it was aimless… Feels like its coming back to me… =)

It is also good and nice to receive all the wishes be it SMS/Facebook/MSN/Gtalk.

Heard all those beatboxing on tv. Now hear the best… This guy is amazing

Been a while since i brewed thoughts to blog. Something that got me thinking about things yet again.

For recent weeks, Singapore had been shaken by a tragedy which was really unexpected and saddening. 5 fine young athletes drowned after their dragonboat capsized after a strong current struck. They were 50m within the pontoon. They weren’t wearing lifevests and it probably is the real reason why they actually drowned. Their luckier teammates struggled to survive with the help of luck and the nearby people.

It got me thinking about how clouded we were about doing our sports and not cherishing our lives. Often, are we stupid to say “Never Say Die”? What is the consequences of our actions? To our friends and family.

I feel guilty when i think back and remembered committing a serious mistake. Life vests in total bad condition were still being used and i let it pass.

Just last week, i attended a friend’s wake. He drowned in a swimming pool at his hostel in China. It was believed that he overworked his body at gym and blacked out himself at his swimming workout. It is sad to hear about him, especially for someone of his profile; First class hons student and just happily married less than a year ago to his JC sweetheart.

I feel it is ok to be fearful of death. I fear death a lot now. I felt otherwise before after won a classic race with my kids.

Because I have not achieved enough yet.
