Current Affairs
Of Poi Balls, Haka and people of Māori
If it wasn’t for the stunning vista of the Auckland War Memorial Museum and its glorious architecture on the Auckland Domain, I probably wouldn’t have known what is going on. It was by a chance of luck did I manage to reach the museum in time for a Māori Cultural Performance. Wikipedia says Māori are [...]
Teaching a people a lesson.
My views are mixed here. I think it is rather bold and admirable that Alan Joyce grounded all domestic and international Qantas flights when those unions are demanding too much. He literally put a message across to the employees, unions and government, “don’t fuck with me or you’ll have nothing to do.” On the other [...]
Morally Bankrupt
I am extremely disturbed in many levels by a viral footage in which a 2 year-old kid was ran over by two vehicles, ignored by the community at-large and left wrenching helplessly in pain as death slowly consumes her life. Over the past few months, I have posted tweets about how appalled I was with [...]
There is no power greater than the will to live.
Every now and then, I would be reading a story about a soldier’s life that CNN publishes on its website. Most personal stories behind these war fighters are endearing and there are the living American heroes whose awe-inspiring act of selflessness makes me believe in the Human race. Occasionally, there are these stories of fallen [...]
The unfortunate, doing the unnecessary, for the unappreciative.
So for the first time in my personal military record, I was given a Extra Duty because when I was the Duty Instructor one day, I had forgotten to give a call to the Chief Master Trainer. I have always been trying to aim for a clean official and personal records. I mean, after all [...]
The darnest wait.
While we keep Japan in our hearts and hope that the people find peace and solace in this tragic and devastating calamity, let’s not forget to appreciate the little smile life bring us. As I stood under the weather waiting for Daniel to travel to camp yesterday… “Your bus… Square wheels?” Hinting that he is [...]
Bringing forward past.
This November was littered with some Army’s high-key events and earmarked by my birthday. I just came back from my 3-day, 2-night field camp which we dug yet another shell scrape, and executed our battle drills and course. For some odd reasons, my time so far in the Army made me realized the importance of [...]
Not too sure anymore.
I was on Facebook and I came across an article Terence had shared. It is about an dialog session with the Senior Prime Minister when one student touch on the topic that many young Singaporean males don’t know what they are defending anymore. I am personally disdained by the response give to this student. I [...]
BMT Graduation Parade 2010
Because I am fan of panoramic pictures, I told Amanda how to capture amazing shots of the city skyline during the parade. I consolidated them through the afternoon, and this is what you get — one just after dawn, and another during the parade. Drum rolls, please… I know it is small, but the larger [...]
I feel like a doctor myself.
I have been very sick for almost two weeks now because none of the medicine are working on God knows what happen to me. My fever only subsided because I ingest two-folds of my prescribed amount. I have been coughing. My general practitioner told me it is a case of seasonal flu, and the polyclinic [...]
