So does that mean it's emo?
Not in Love
I saw you standing in the hallway. Looking all sexy and all that. You were new here. We went out and talked. I really liked you. I think you liked me too. Afterwards, back in my room, I felt a pain Somewhere between my stomach and heart. "I must have fallen in love," I thought.... Continue Reading →
In Australia
Just a quick note to say that I'm now in Perth, Australia. I'm residing in Currie Hall, a hostel just off campus. I hate being the new kid on the block: periods of adaptation have always been looked upon by me with trepidation. Of course, I know it's the inevitable, but that doesn't make it... Continue Reading →
Slogans
I was just drinking from a mug that said, "We make sense of your money," and thought to myself how fun it was to come up with slogans like these. So, I decided to come up with a few slogans myself: Financial Guru's Advice: Making Cents of Your Dollars Group Hypnosis: How to Write a... Continue Reading →
Football and Controversy
I watched the Singapore vs. Thailand (ASEAN Football Championships) match on Wednesday. I had gone into the match thinking that it was going to be a dull affair. I'm the kind of person who goes to a football match not so much concerned with the proceedings but with the final result. This match, being only... Continue Reading →
Meet Your Maker
I was just going through random "friendster" sites when I came across a profile of a girl that had under the "Who I want to meet" heading, "God". This led me to wonder if she ever got confused when a baddie in a Hollywood movie held a gun up to the hero's head and said,... Continue Reading →
Angular Momentum
I came across this web comic today, called Angular Momentum, at xkdc. It has got to be one of the most romantic things I've come across -- ever. Definitely poetry in pictures. xkdc does have many more comics like this which are also very, very funny. Do check it out.
Running a Marathon
I ran the Singapore Marathon (also called the Standared Chartered Marathon, named after the organisers) last Sunday, and I have got to say it was the hardest thing I've ever done in a long, long time. Like the NaNoWriMo, I had gone into this expecting something difficult, but not this difficult... Bloody Early The start... Continue Reading →
Family Planning for the Virgin Mary
I've listened to this song called Zoom! (by the band Super Furry Animals) many times, but it was only today that I decided to take a look at the lyrics (as they mumble through their song, it takes more than listening to know what they're saying). Anyway, here's the part of the song that I... Continue Reading →
On Being Useless
A great quote I found attributed to Zhuangzi on Wikipedia, the same man who dreamt he was a butterfly, and woke up pondering if perhaps he was just a butterfly dreaming he was a man. The mountain trees bring about their own demises [by being useful], burning oil exhausts itself in fire [when people use... Continue Reading →
