Inspiration #1

Well, as the weekend comes to a close and the Blues in us sets in, let me inspire all of us to the wonders of what the world has to give!


Many people will walk in and out of your life,
but only true friends leave footprints in your heart.
To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.
Anger is only one letter short of danger.
If someone betrays you once, it is his fault; if he betrays you twice, it is your fault.
Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events;small minds discuss people.
He who loses money, loses much; he who loses a friend, loses much more; he who loses faith, loses all.
Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art.
Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.
Friends, you and me. . . you brought another friend. . . and then there were three. . .
we started our group. . . our circle of friends. . .and like that circle. . .there is no beginning or end. . .
yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That is why they call it the present.

Eleanor Roosevelt

*Lets reflect on the passage and ask ourself how myopic we have been in our life to always be complaining.
Start learning not to ask WHY!

OUCH!!!

"Every new skills comes with a painful experience"

*Anakin lost his right hand too while training to be a great Jedi*

Im a justification of this statement too. Cant sit properly now and trying to typing comfortably without having to incline my butt at a certain angle.. (hmm.. shall now blog abt the details of my sitting posture!)

Well.. if you are wondering wat happened to this toopid Anz...

He fell after trying to be clever by doing 2 things at one go. (Blading and throwing something into the rubbish bin. Though i succeeded in being environment conscious/friendly, he suffered the fate of having to kiss the floor with his already thin buttocks! Ouch... wat a painful experience.

If you cant imagine how painful it is, let me give u a maths summary.

Mass of Anz = 60kg; assuming ht of buttock from gnd = 1m and taking g = 10m/s(2)
Surface area of Anz buttock = 0.02m s(2) [quite logical]

Force exerted on buttock = 60g = 600N
Pressure exerted = F/A = 30 000 Pa [ quite high]

Assuming no lost in energy
PE = KE ===> 600*1 = 0.5 *60*V (2)
Velocity of impact on buttock = 4.5m/s


Hmmm... sounds painful enough rite!! *time to sayang my butt* sigh....
Hmm.. will i be seriously injured? getting paranoid with these maths
Hmmm... im still good at maths.. haha.... should have practice Engineering!!

The battle for Rohan

As i get engaged in the battle for Rohan, Anz's getting tired with every increasing day. The multiple battles and the multiple casualities that results in each passing day is depressing and something i have to face with constantly.

This make me wonder how heros in films every have the energy to engage themself in so many battles and yet not feel tired or stress. Their hair style remains the same after each battle and hardly any visible eyebag. hmm... film makers should note this and make it more realistic! Im exhausted after just a day....

The other heros with me is also feeling this strain and getting tired with the long hours and the "no tea/lunch break" conditions. sigh... was telling my colleagues that i should volunteer to be a casuality too and cant fight anymore. haha... "Chao Keng"

Cant blog anymore. to tired to think and shld rest now for the big match afterwards.. haha...
Boss just de-brief that we are not to watch the match tonight and rest well.. BUT who cares about Rohan when liverpool is my all time fav....

War is Raw

As i get ready for war tomorrow, my phone starting to fail me! damn... wat an appropriate time. Just when u need your most reliable tool that mankind had created, it had to start giving me problems. damn... how to stay connected!

Hmmm.. The urge in me had me telling me to get a new one, but somehow i had procrastinated. The lazy bug in me kinna prevented me from visiting a mobile shop to get a new one and also partly bcos Bug's been spending too much this month too.

Damages this mth:
1) Bangkok trip
2) Clubbing consecutively for 4 Friday's in a row
3) Roller Blades
4) A new ping pong racket

Darn....

Bug's getting poorer.. so sad....

With Affection Comes Jealousy

How true is this liner?

I also wondered! How do one feel when the person you are like is out with someone else? Jealous? Or are you able to take it with a pinch of salt. For those with partners, do you allow them to meet up with the ex and not feel a tinge?

Yoda said to Anakin Skywalker in this episode that "With Affection comes Jealousy" and he advice this young jedi to learn to control this affection for Padme (Natalie Portman) or let go of this love in order to remove this jealousy. Bcos with jealousy, comes anger and with anger comes hatred, which eventually lured him to the dark side.

It struck me deeply as I think upon the numerous events in my life that i couldnt let go off. Issit so easy to let go of the affection/belief/love you have? I have seen many people struggled in their entire life moaning over the lost of their love ones. There were many who also took a long time to heal from this lost and eventually developed into someone more sceptical and more afraid to get hurt. How easy issit to phrase such a statement, but yet so difficult to put it into actions.

On this note, I dont blame why Anakin turned to the dark side as he yearns for power and the love he has for Padme. This also explains why people changes upon the failures they experienced in relationships making them into a different person.

IF you havent watch star wars III, hope that you too will reflect upon this when you watch it. A must show to catch!

Wet Wet Saturday

Woke up at an amazing 11am this morning, of which i only eventually climbed out of the comfy zone at 1pm. Completely shack out after clubbing at Thumper last nite with my colleagues. Well. i must give this place a BIG thumbs up. Nice ambiance, good crowd and nice music too. Definitely a must go if you havent check it out.

Had lunch with Joe in CCK as he was working nearby today and wanted to blade. But the weather completely destroyed our plans. sigh.. wat a let down.. Will add that it a "must" do in my calander.

So this rain spoilt my mood for an outing today. wanted to go town also to see see look look, but the weather "nuahed" me from doing anything except gluing myself to the chair and watch some DVDs and chatted with the losers online.

This isnt a way to spend our preciously saturday!

Thousands and one things so which comes first

There's thousands and one things on my mind now as im jotting down the things that are yet to be done and wondering how its ever going to be completed. Boss and colleagues asked me to relax, yet the deadline seems so near which is making me so uncomfortable. Mind in a complete mess over which one i shld do first and which has precedence over another. prioritisation seems so difficult when one thing is connected to another and all seems so impt!! how!!

Joe once told me the idea over URGENT and IMPT. But cant seem to recall that lecture now. He said that what is urgent might not be critical and something about what is important might not be urgent. So there is always a need to prioritise over the work we all have. (something along this line.. but i cant remember what he said! haha.... )anyway.. I cant decide what's on my list is URGENT/CRITICAL/IMPT too..

Is working life so tough? Or am i just too hard on myself, setting too high standards on things and being the perfectionist i knew im capable off getting it tolls? Im suddenly getting disturbed and disorientated after a year back at work. (time really flies man....) Have I been too idealistic (many said i am) and too demanding (some ppl said i am) ??? Have I watched too many cartoons or films that makes me believes that all things are possible as long as you put your heart and soul on it. (can still recall many miracle scenes that i watched on TV that had made the impossible a reality) But in the bottom of my heart, I knew there are many things i can do in order to make things progress better.

So many questions, but yet no answers! So many ideas which no one shares and so many things and yet no hands. Sometimes dont you just feel so small in this world we are living in....

~Sentimental Bug~

No Carry + No feeling = B B D

Bug went bowling today on my routine tuesday workout. Eager to bowl as I havent been bowling for 2 weeks. Felt good at the lanes initially and tot today shld be another fun day at Victors. But.....

No carry !! pins just wouldnt fall. damn.. First shot is always a 9 and not a strike. sigh.. tot it was the entry angle and did some adjustment. However no matter how much i shifted, the results remains! No strike! *almost fainted* Well tried not to think so much into it and spare the frame.
BUT BUT...... was kinna rusty after not bowling for 2 weeks and have problems sparing. DIE big time... No strike , No spare = No score.

So it a Bad Bowling Day when my release was good but pins dont carry! hmmm.... Cant expect so much when im not bowling 3 times a week like i used to! So much for my dream to be a national bowler on day! haha.. dream onz....

~Dreaming Anz~

A drawing from Qi, which i tot was very cute.

Although the monster was bit way off how i look.... haha.... It look more like casper than me!

A lost man in the woods

So many things happened in office while i was away. Wow.... its seems like life had made a complete turn around on me and evolving too fast that i can hardly catch up with it.

Firstly, found out that 2 of my colleagues were hospitalised. OMG.... dead serious! It was just over thursday when we were happy chatting and laughing and dead solemn when i was at the hospital visiting him.

And back at office, things seems to taken a 180 U-turn too. Coordinations that were made prior to my departure are completely different now and more meetings added into my already un-readable diary. Damn..... wat a waste of time... Wat makes things worse was that my email account CRASHED!!! This is due to excessive big files that people are sending me or rather my mail account is probably still holidaying in Bangkok and refusing to work!

I seemed so lost at work today, nothing acomplished and alots of huh... "y like that now"... Will have to readjust again. hmmm.. dunno if its good or bad to take a break.. sigh, it seems liek a chain effect everytime i take a break....

Last check b4 i left office... 98 unread mails.. F***

However on a lighter note,
Things I looking forward to this week

1) Bowling tomorrow.. Wee.weeee.....
2) Star Wars on Thursday.. Dont envy me.. im a SW freak and i have to be the first to watch it!!
3) Velvet on Fri
4) Blading at the weekend? Are my kakis all good to roll? (havent blade for 2 weeks!)
5) Unpacking my BUYS in Bangkok. This will prbably take the whole week

Anz....

The Day Ninja turtle meet Uncle Moldy

Drew this ugly pic while taking a break from work... sigh.... kinna "bo liao"

"Bu kan le"

Another day went past without much work done

Sigh... sometimes i do wonder about my existance at work. Time just fly by without me realising that its time to go home again. haha.... Nothing conclusive is done everyday. just plenty of phone calls and plenty of mails and plenty of meetings.... No time for makan, No time to read papers and No time for tea break. hehe....

Work plan (not doned), Presentation slides (not doned), Training schedule (not doned), Medical checkup (not doned), Malay notes (not read)... blah blah.... Going to die big time liao..... Plus im going on lve this thursday.. Jialet.. going to be kanna F**k big time.. GOD: transform me to have either multiple hands or multiple brains...

Save me!!!!! help..............

Sunshine after the rain

After the shower/thunderstorm in the morning and early afternoon, the sun finally awakes. Finally our prayer were heard and calm was restored. Quickly called our kakis and set out on our weekly balding meetup at ECP.

Hopefully WX is ok after the fall which occured due to my inability to brake. Joe, WX and Anz fell together as we were holding onto each other. I kinna drag the 2 of them to "die" with me when i couldnt stop. WX was the worse from the fall as he was trapped and "sandwhich" between the 2 of us. Luckily didnt hurt my already injured knee. But WX did had a bad fall... Hopefully he's fine.. so so sorry.. i feel so so guilty

Beside this incident, everything was ok. As usual, tired after that, with my back feeling strained and my thigh feeling the soreness. well... but its all worth it!!

~Our Sentosa Story for those who missed~

It was a bright and sunny satuarday morning at Sentosa

Where we had our picnic at the palawan beach.

We had makan, such as Mee hoon, mee siam, cakes, fried fish cakes, nuggets, otah, sandwiches, agar agar and fruits. Tks for those who prepared the food. We all concurred that we miss the chicken wings that Jackson was supposed to prepare!!

the yummy's chocolate cake made by corr

After makan, the 3 musketeers enjoyed some tanning and babes watching in the beach. wee wee

before we decided to blade around palawan.

and was completely exhausted after that...... ZZZ.zzzzzzz

Others started playing card games and having chips... Steven was the main louser, which explains why he had to sit on the mat while others had the chair... HK was so proud of himself for this ability to beat steven. haha... wat a sight!!!!

And we finally ended the day with dinner at coffee club.

rain rain go away

Damn.... it had to rain when i want to go blading... TMD!

so here i am in my room singing "rain rain go away, come again another day, little adults need to blade"

Joe, corr, wx, lin and me are supposed to me blading this morning at east coast after the unfufilling session at sentosa yesterday. the blading track in sentosa was short and you probably need 10 mins to complete. How much training value can it give to this newbie!!!

so pls stop raining so that i can go out and play!!

Anson & Ck with a Russian Dog.

This photo was taken in Indonesia when I chanced upon the Russian Rescue team. I was stunned when i was told that this is a trained search and rescue dog. I tot those dogs would be freaking big and not so cute like this.....!!

Mr Auntie

Ppl at work started calling me Mr auntie today when i was spotted cutting the NTUC discount coupons in my office. Well... All these bcos of the Picnic outing we have this sat!!

There were drinks, nuggets, sausages, tissue on discounts in the papers and i was thinking that i can save a huge amount by cutting these coupons. Wat the hell.... and ppl in office thinks that only auntieeeeeeee does this! Well.. im known and behaving as one now.

Happily went to NTUC after work to find the stuffs i need and place them onto the shopping basket. Weird eyes were staring at Mr Auntie for the buys he has. Wat the heck! "cant a man be seen buying lots of food??" nevertheless, I got the nuggets, sausages, but forgot the Mee Hoon which im suppose to buy. sigh.... how forgetful.

All excited and geared for sat. Lets make this an eventful one, even though im Mr Auntie now!

A tribute to Mr Wee

Music - Corrinne May
Books - None
Mood - warm and sticky

Looking at the ST today, the most eye-catching article would be the death of our former Prez, Mr Wee. The were many reports from the radios and newspaper about how good Mr Wee has been during his tour of duty, describing him as a people's president. However, it was sad that i never had the chance to witness meeting or talking to him.

Thinking back, the only memory I had of Mr Wee was the annual National Day Parade that I get to watch on tv. I can vividly remember that big smile across his face and him waving to the audience as he was brought round the stadium in the jeep.

Well... it time to say farewell to the man we all love. May we continue to remember him in our hearts.

God Bless~

You'll Never Walk Alone

The day where i can hold my head up high to say that you deserve it!!!.... Well done Pools....


~~~You'll Never Walk Alone ~~~
When you walk through the storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark

Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

Malayu

Attended my second class today. Was bored as Elton couldnt made it for today's class and had to sit alone. It was made worse when the back row seats are all taken up as i was 5 mins late due to the traffic on the road and me leaving late from office as there were last min fires to fight.

So had to made do with front row seats which was very eye-catching to the Ciku. As expected, i was a target from the obvious position i was in and the ciku asked me a question in Malay. "Sia ......" which completely stunned me.... Well, gave him the completely "stun look in puss the boots" (made to do so to act completely blur in order to spar me off from further embarrassment)

However the class was kinna interesting. Ciku was cranking jokes to make the class attentive, which i was very appreciative off. Numerous jokes were cranked which made the entire class bust in laughter. And not to mentioned the MALEs jokes that we are so familiar off, but still laugh at them...

Think im flare-less when it comes to language.. and im beginning to feel that its going to take alot of hard work to master this... Well... Pray for me...

A Malay Bug.....

Kepeing fit has finally taken its toll

Should have expected it. My body is already 26 and not 15 anymore. Gone were the day wea i can play hard and "chiong" ard. This machine in me is not as efficient in recovery anymore. haha...

Aching all over from the strenuous exercise that i have been engaging in. Clocked 3 hrs of balding on sun and another 5 hrs today. Played ping pong for an hour on sun too. total of 9 hrs of exercise over 2 days... just too much!! and im not reaping the effects... Aching legs and arms... damn.... just too lazy and tired to move anywhere now.

On top of that. I strained my kknneeeee.. arrgh... its kinna painful now and its heavily strapped. Wanted to post a picture of it, but the sight of my HAIRY legs would have probably turn ppl off rather than sympthize me. So shall save you guys from the disgusting sight. haha...

But on a lighter note, i do feel healthier and fitter after the extravaganza....
Well guys... sentosa next week.. dont forget!!

A sunburned bug...

~Darth Vader invaded Orchard~

Dark lord invaded town

Can anyone spotted the badie in the photo!!!... YES.... the dark load has invaded orchard with his gang on sat and rdy to destroy earth. haha.... well.. Wea is my fav YODA.... think he is probably too short to be captured! oops....

Keeping fit and healthy

Had my 3rd session of roller blade-ing this morning at ECP with the uni mates of Joe, Corr, Jem, Lin, Sharo, and the blahs blahs... ( too many to name) and it was fun! Tks guys and gers for the good entertainment and fun we had.

Well.. im getting the hang of it. Only fell down twice today! Hooray Hooray (slowly getting it sia!) *big pat on the back*

After East Coast Park at noon, i went off to play ping pong! surprise rite! Since i have kinna gave up on that game years ago. But my colleague "Jio" me for this and it kinna hard to reject. Well... it was fun too as i havent played for years and kinna rusty too! made a fool also. But the basic skills are still there and it too me a while to get the fundamentals rite. So it upper and lower body exercise in a day! Wat an achievements *another big pat on the back*

Wanted to bowl after that, but i was completely drained. haha... so much for being so ambitious in a day. I completely exhausted and tired. legs are aching, but im going to ECP tomorrow again. Well.. no price for getting it rite. IM BLADE-ING again.. haha.... total mileage on the blades = 5hrs and more to come........ hehe....

A tired Bug...
