29 February, Are you injecting racism?
Recalling to my childhood days in kampong... The area was so huge that there wasn't any boundaries for you to roam about. To prevent us, the younger generation, from getting lost in the vegetation, my elders used to tell us that if we went too far from our base, we will be abducted by "mang-ga-li" or "ah-neh". Hmm...why "mang-ga-li" or "ah-neh"?? Is it because they had pioneered this 'project' - kidnapping? Or is it due to the difference of skin colour? Did the "mang-ga-li" or "ah-neh" tell their kids not to wander too far off in case they'll be kidnap by a Chinese? I thought such teaching had dissolved long time ago till my encounter with two Chinese kids during my transit. They had boarded the train and seek for empty seats. One of them spotted the empty seats opposite where I was sitting, and rushed to it. The other followed but I was rather curious why both of them were eying on one seat when they had one each. While they were 'fighting' over that 'special' seat, one of them just spoke out that she didn't want to sit beside an Indian. That sentence has caught many people's attention in that cabin but not that Indian. Probably, he was busy attending to his kid at that point of time. Later, the two kids just ran off to the next cabin.
So, why people starts judging people based on their colour? Does it mean that a specific colour defines a certain set of characteristics? Ya, probably black will makes you think of darkness, secret, and Batman? Yellow will be banana, egg, and Big Bird? And white will be peace, pure, and MacBook Air? Whatever it is, these colours will be interpreted differently when it comes off a human skin.

***Thanks Sagiboar***

25 February, Prayer was answered
I was browsing thru' some old movies and came across "Paycheck". That disc was scratched, therefore had decided to opt for "Cellular" instead. I think it was the sixth or seventh times I've watched that show. Good cast, good plot, good progression. I just won't get bored with the same old good show. Well, that's me...
Yesterday, I was channel surfing and happened to catch "Paycheck" screening on FIVE. I felt so amazed that I spoke like a "choo-choo" train to ah-ger. Maybe my prayer has been answered, or it was purely coincidence. The show is about this billionaire, Aaron Eckhart (main lead in "Thank You For Smoking"), employs a Reverse Engineer, Ben Affleck, to build a machine that is able to see the future. So the story goes on about how Ben Affleck, who has saw his future, changes his own destiny and win the $90million jackpot prize which he's well-deserved in the first place.
K lah, gotta stop my Ah-gong's story-telling session before you close this window.
Looking forward to get my paycheck this weekend~ Peace Out~

21 February, Insensitivity
What would you do if someone is standing in your way while you're on your job? Seek for an alternatively route? Probably. How about if I refer that to a camera shot? Seek for another angle? I doubt you want to do that if that's the best angle you could get.
So you've guessed it huh~Ya, I was blocked by an insensitive living thing during my shoot in the midst of an event. The living thing should know that I was working on my camera (unless the eyes were covered with shit), and it just stood right in front of my camera when there was a group of people responding to me.
So, what's the fucking problem with that thing? It just carried on yakking and yakking as if I wasn't there. WTF! It's tough to get the right shot at the right timing as most photographers or videographers would agree on.
I just HATE those living things who are not visually impaired, and behaving like one. So get the fuck off my shot next time, else I'll put you in my cross-hair.

18 February, The launch of the 5th clickable
(The LIVE webby cam)
Didn't expect this to be so fast right? Well, me neither... I was still doing my research over last weekend about it, and managed to pick up some tips from the new media. However, there's a serious lag for the visual transmission. Anybody has any idea how to counter this? Ah-ger said prolly it's beyond your control, which I thought so too. Still, hope to work it out somehow and I'll implement this thingy to my outlets. Maybe some of you may think this is a management idea to use it as a surveillance camera to 'look after' their staffs. Correction. This is mainly to broadcast big event nights. So if you happen to be a EHG staff reading this, please be rest assured that the webcam thingy won't be tracking every movement of yours!
(Where got so free!!)
Come to think about it, I might just be the first person doing this in the entertainment industry. If the response is good, which I really hope so, then we'll surely HUAT AH!!

17 February, A new column coming soon
Realized that there are five clickables now? Well, I'm trying to embed a 'live' webcam to my blog. Still in the process of finding the solution though. Hopefully, it will be setup soon. I mean very soon.
Last week, my boss introduced "Mixmeister" to me. I had tried out the software and was amazed by its technology. For those who wanna do their own music mixes, you can check out that software. It's cool~
Had a mini "LOH HEY" session just before our football match this morning. And guess what, this time, we had some beer too! Managed to play the game but had suffered a minor injury. "Time to hang our boots!" Someone shouted across the court when I had to squat down to rest my knee. Maybe we'll play for another one or two years and call it a day.

14 February, Defining V.Day
Was at the "Anti-Valentine's Day" event last night and read some funny notes from the patrons.
One goes "I hate v.day coz' last year I spent it with my mum, and this year I hope to spend with someone else's mum." Another said "I hate v.day coz' all the guys i like are gays!"
Something I couldn't agree more with Smookey was when he said everything is expensive on this day. Apparently, this is the chance where most retailers and restaurants are out to squeeze you dry.
In conclusion, my definition for V.Day will be "Very-expensive Day". What say you?

12 February, The One Hundredth Post
Today marks my 100th posting. It isn't something great, but blogging has somehow changes my lifestyle. I've learned to voice out my opinions and perspectives. However, I'm still trying to improve on my grammar. So please bear with me~
So what's coming up next? Ya, it's valentine's day of course. It's just round the corner. It's the day where the price of all stuffs that signify love goes up. I just couldn't see the point of spending on v.day. Maybe I'm ain't romantic, or I refuse to be a prey of those marketing predators.
Why should any of you be oblige to buy anything to your special one? Is it that getting a gift to your partner means you love him/her more? If it's interpreted that way, next it will drills down to how much is your gift worth.
Here's the Trippon's annual top 10 list of the most expensive Valentine's Day gifts for 2007:
1. Bombardier Global Express XRS executive jet - $48 million
2. Phuket private island in Thailand- $23 million
3. Renee Strausse for the Bride diamond encrusted wedding
dress - $12 million
4. Neil Lane sapphire and diamond necklace & diamond drop earrings - $2 million
5. Tiffany & Co. 7.5 carat diamond and platinum engagement ring - $845,000
6. SSC Ultimate Aero sports car - $654,500
7. Honma 24k gold and platinum plated golf clubs - $52,938 per set
8. Fendi Pink Crocodile Spy Bag - $25,700
9. Golf round at Sandy Lane in Barbados - $1265
10. Bling h2o water - $40 per bottle
So what you gonna get? I think I could only afford Evian ~

11 February, Conversation dominator
Ever find yourself in a situation where someone is talking all about themselves? Would you interrupt that fellow, or simply let the machine gun keep firing? I think most of you will roll up your eyes if you encounter it. That reminds me of person who I used to work with, but now, it's quite a different situation.
It did happen to me a couple of times, and I had kept quiet throughout those conversation. Almost every sentence that came out was "I this, I that, I , I , I..." I was pretty sick of it till the nature's call. Maybe these people needs attention that they have been lacking. Whatever it is, I hope they do spare a thought for their listeners' ears!

4 February, Gi's coins
She packed up her feelings and luggage, and there she went in tears. That was the last time I spoke to Gi face to face. She couldn't bear but she has to. She doesn't want to give up but she has to.
She had returned to where she came from. Back to her life, back to her home. She left nothing else except a handful of coins in my pocket. I could sense that she do not want to step into the sorrow land again.
Gi, take care and bon voyage~ will miss you~

4 February, A message for all commuters!
Simply annoying!! Encountered a young punk playing music through his mobile? Well, I've encountered one who sang along. Gosh! Was it KTV session or some Sing-Ka-Por idiots, i mean idols thingy? Gimme a break, will you!
I was exhausted over last weekends with all the painting, troubleshooting, and cleaning. Fortunately, Ah-Ger was there to lighten my load, else I'll be still wiping my equipment right now. We were busy like bee, and soon ended our day with "The Bee Movie". Oh ya, there was a minor accomplishment too. Managed to fix up Joyce's printer which was spoilt for dunno how many decades! I'm glad it came to life again after some sticking and slamming.
Nacho got his fur trimmed yesterday and he looked similar to the first time when he came to our place, but his "Hao-Lian" character is still intact.
Spoke to Remy after our usual football game and realised that even police patrol car needs to display parking coupon these days!! Can you believe it? I wasn't convinced till he told us that he had actually paid a fine even he's a station inspector. Seems like it's really getting tough out there even you're working with our government huh! On the other note, maybe the authority wana perform equality in our society. Sounds familiar? Ya, it's from our pledge.
"We, the citizens of Singapore. Pledge ourselves as one united people. Regardless of race, language or religion. To build a democratic society. Based on justice and equality. So as to achieve happiness, prosperity & progress for our nation."
Hmm... progress for our nation? Well, that leads me to think about our ERP systems. I guess you'll anticipate what I'm gona say. Alright, let's face the "Ever-Rising Payment" system if you gona get a car and travels during peak hours. So what's the alternative to reach your destination in the shortest possible time? By cab? Well, they had adjusted their prices too! It cost me about another five bucks (with midnight charge) when I took a cab home after work. So that leaves us with buses and trains. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? We can pretty much anticipate what's the next thing gona be adjusted huh~ (DEFINITELY NOT OUR PAY OK!) So, are you thinking of our next rally?

1 February, "Really ah?"
Realised that this phrase has been coming out from my mouth so frequent this week. Perhaps it was only to that 'someone' who I spoke to. Someone just claimed to know everything that I know, as well as the hot babes he had dated. To be honest, I dun really give a fuck shit about who he had dated before, what he had for lunch, blar blar blar...
Initially I thought we would strike a good conversation due to our common interest towards a specific subject. However, someone didn't avoid generalism. It was pretty easy to spot the "Mr. know-all". Earlier, I caught a show from BBC which discuss the truth about human nature. The show focus on a thing that everyone is doing at least 15 times a week - according to BBC. That's lying. It can be a white lie or any colours of lies. At the end of the day, it's just lie.
So I put that someone under observation and realised he did give away tell tale signs on his facial expressions.
When Clinton claimed he didn't have sex with Monica Lewinsky over their national tv, did you notice a microscopic smirk on his face? That was picked up by experts and gave him away. So back to that someone, perhaps he felt he was drifting away when we had conversation on technology stuffs. I guess he felt a sense of insecurity. It did irritates me when I know that someone was bull-shitting, but I do appreciate if that someone has done enough homework. I admit that I had bull-shitted in my essay during my mass comm studies~ But what really matter is if your words make sense. Make sense?
