Something

Ahhh..no nice MV. But imagine hearing this on the most amazing rainy day that I have ever remembered..the rain never stopped for the whole day.

I still maintain that this is the best soundtrack that I ever own.

Guru of Chai

It has been a long time since I have been to such an entertaining play. A practically one-man show telling the story of 3 main characters, but I think at one point in time there were more like 7-8 characters, all played by one person. And with practically no other props than lights, sound, rich songs (I wish I knew what was being sung!) and well..one puppet parrot. Read more about the production here.

It's amazing to see one so good at his craft. And passionately loves his job too.

It's not easy to make your passion your work, hearing that harsh realities often crack those rose-tinted glasses off pretty fast. But for those who could, it would have been the most wonderful thing as like what they always say, then you would never have to work for the rest of your life.

(If anybody is interested to catch The Guru of Chai, good luck cos heard it would be full house or selected seats left until the show closes this weekend!)

绝路

今天在办公室有想要呐喊的冲动。很不喜欢被逼到角落的感觉。

这几天发生了一些事情，让自己真的很沮丧。 理智上，天下无绝人之路，可是眼前这条小道好像布满荆，觉得好委屈。

但每当和友人讲叙后，满满怨言，越说越听越觉得自己好可悲。不喜欢这样的自己。

The world is like that, there will definitely be somebody who lose out*.

但未必一定要是我，尤其是当这游戏规则就表明着，这场游戏就一定我处下风。

我未必要帐单全收。而且，我也不可能那么没志气。

一定要快点反弹回来。

*尤其如果是一个上司能说出这种话，你也知道你是甭指望他了..

Wintry weather in the little red dot

I never thought it would happen, but for once, the weather outside the office was freezing as I stepped out of the office building. The wind was shipping my hair around my face and I jolted a shiver before I skipped into the lift to get to my car.

I was also contemplating if I should wear a sweater at home. Sans aircon. I figure that the weather should be around 25-26 deg c, which should considered comfortable given that the temperature went down to low 20s deg c earlier this month.

Gosh, low 20deg c? Singapore sounds like some temperate countries going into the fall season. I was fighting the temptation to buy a long sleeve running top for the fact that the cold weather was deterrant to go running in normal singlet running tees that I only have got (not excuses la..I really scared cold one).

Now sitting at home, with the google box showing pilots freezing in mid-air in the show "The Day after Tomorrow", with all the wrath of mother earth culminating to a destructive wrath of a tsunamic wave hitting through the streets of NYC, while I remember the 37 deg c weather when I was last there. Sends another shiver....spooky.

Perhaps I am thinking too much; should just take the opportunity to enjoy cuddling in blanket a while more.

贺年片

Ok, I was intrigued must because I saw the trailer on tv, with none other than "双节棍" playing in the background. I wonder how Jay Chou remembers his English lines..and if he eat up his words as badly as he enunciate his Mandarin.

But anyway am more interested in this. 大卡司耶。

闯关东

有时候看腻了时尚的爱情／悬疑／推理／科幻片，偶尔看看以前的先驱们开拓新地方的故事，觉得自己生在这个年代，真是幸运。

又有得追了。

老天的事

Another year is upon us..

Oh well, a belated acknowledgement that a new year is upon us.

The last day of 2010 didn't exactly go too smoothly, and that's putting it too nicely. For one, I can't believe that luck has it that I had to repeatedly face disappointment after disappointment, after disappointment all within 1 year. And when it struck, I can only think that how the incident had nicely conclude what has been a crappy year, like a nice concerto, where the last movement is likely to be something is so quick paced to bring the whole piece up to a climax. Which incidentally, isn't really nice to be on the receiving end actually. This is a story for another day.

Nonetheless, I must be grateful that somehow, luck has it that I downloaded a book 2 weeks back. Curious, and in need of some reading materials, I finished the book in 1 day while worming on my bed feeling feverish on the first day of the year (body's reaction to the immense upset I guess).

Re-read on Sunday and highlighting all the passages that resonated and began the week feeling a little more like human.

The dirty little mind that plays up shadows into fearful demons..

Anyway, though I am an atheist, I do believe that help would be at hand if you ask for it, and true to be, the first official workday of the year ended quite nicely and to top off, a truly enjoyable evening session with a group of hockey mates.

I hope 2011 will be year of ridding the shadows and bringing in a little more light.

(ok..I cheated a bit for this post..I had started composing but left it off halfway..but had really wanted to rant i.e. on the 4th Jan post. But not wanting to start a new year's post on such a negative vibe..I decided to finish up this post before I started ranting!)
