A Special Occasion
Play the harmonica.
This clip from Jimmy Kimmel Live cracked me up so much I thought I might share. He started off with a holiday greeting before continuing, “last night, more than a billion people gathered in the Chinese Times Square watching Chinese Ryan Seacrest banter awkwardly with Chinese will.i.am.” With a footage of the Chinese President, the [...]
2011 Epilogue – Year in Review
Life has never been so different. Army came like a bombshell that shook my ground in 2010. Then in 2011, the year was almost all about it. This is what happened: TRADING MEMORIES I HELD, FOR STORIES YET UNTOLD. I realize in 2010 that if we kept too ourselves tied to the past, we can’t [...]
Last of Escape Theme Park
Yesterday was a riot of feelings. There was something about the closure of the Park that sent hundreds of former crews flocking back after so many years. Deep inside, we know how much this place meant and how much priceless memories that are untold of. Following what Aisha would say, these people are the reasons [...]
This is what it would be like if you weren’t you anymore.
I do not even know how to start off my writing. So much have happened as we go on with our lives. I mean, how else would you describe in entirety a friend who went to the same primary school, then the same secondary school, and suddenly both of you are specialists in a military. [...]
Obviously I assume all food on the table are edible.
While reading through the past, I am republishing some hilarious moments caught on camera. Originally published on March 11, 2009 as Obviously I assume all food on the table are edible. The BBQ gathering Melati and some other colleagues who planned received quite a huge turnout. I will probably put up the photographs Thursday or [...]
On 46th year of independence.
9 August 2011. I hate departures. When I left home late last night I was awash with a sense of loss. It felt different when I left home for school overseas attachment for a month in China. After being deprived of many comforts during training, I saw this world in another light. I boarded the [...]
When today was unreachable in the past.
I was seated in the lecture hall, being a Recruit, as a video of how Specialists are trained in the Specialist Cadet School flashed on the projection screen. Boy, did I remember how I felt; I was awe-stricken and I thought I never would go so far that stage. I mean, where would I garner [...]
A Raving Lunatic
I attended my alma mater’s biennial C’est la Vie concert yesterday. I frankly do not know if the standards of our performing arts group have risen or plummeted, but I was sure the ELDDS’s dramatic script was a mess! On the other hand, I was awash with glory and awe when the Angklung ensemble orchestrated [...]
Watching past replay with your eyes.
Its almost safe to say I am losing touch with writing. Used to be so good at it I could blow the entire Internet off. If you do realized, Lunar New Year is becoming a festive that we helplessly go through the motion. It is no longer a series of occasions that everybody gather for [...]
Trading memories held, for stories yet untold.
I was very excited yesterday because of, well, all the hype about a new year. The second thing about yesterday was all the floating “wish ball” as I would call it, was on the marina! The Singapore skyline have changed dramatically after the Singapore Flyer and Marina Bay Sands are constructed. The lighting was beautiful. [...]
