"i am free to be who i really am... no pretenses, no broken promises, no fear... just a life packed with hopelessness and unattainable dreams, 'cause im just livin' like i shld... my life..." everyone has hopes and dreams but dun they know that hope is the denial of reality and that dreams will forever be just dreams?

[170708] Life lessons

A meaningful story was told to me the other day: 2 brothers reside on the 80th floor of an apartment building. The 2 brothers returned one day after an overseas expedition to find that the lift for their building was out of service due to routine servicing.

The 2 brothers decided to climb up the stairs to go home, the climbing started pleasurably enough, with both of them joking and talking with each other but upon reaching the 20thth floor to retrieve the bags at a later time. floor, they were both exhausted and decided to leave their bags on the 20

Without the additional burden of the bags, both brothers found it a lot easier to climb up the stairs but by the time they reached the 40th floor, they were even more exhausted and began to quarrel and complain while trying to find fault with one another. It turned out that one of the brothers had read about the lift servicing but had forgotten about it. The other brother scolded him for not remembering the notice and they continued to quarrel as they climbed.

When they reached the 60th floor, they were thoroughly exhausted but were determined to finish the last leg of the climb. Though unhappy with the situation, both brothers kept to themselves and climbed in silence as they laboured on with the arduous task.

When they finally reached the 80th floor and their home, they realised one important thing, they had left the keys to the house in one of their bags and it’s already too late to go down and try to retrieve it.

Take this story as an analogy of life. The 80 storeys in the apartment building represent our lifetime. When we were young, we were full of dreams, ambitions and hopes but as life progressed, we find that we are increasingly burdened by our dreams, ambitions and hopes. By the time we are 20, we have discarded all of them for more realistic and practical aspirations.

By the time we are 40, we find that life isn’t a bed of roses so we begin to complain, whine and find others to blame for our misfortune, our lack of luck and everything that didn’t go according to our grand scheme of life. By the time we reach 60, we became overwhelmed by the workings of our society and we just took everything good and bad in our stride and laboured on in life in silence. More often than not, when we reached 80, we find that we have lived a largely unfulfilling life and that the most important thing that matter the most to us was left behind back when we were 20. Life is a one way journey; we can never go back and re-live the dreams we had.

[120708] ATTN: Hazel Tan

A dry pack is basically a waterproof bag made of of vinyl and is favoured by outdoor adventurers and water sports like canoing or kayaking. It comes in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours these are the bags by sealine, the bag i bought. Notice how none of the bags have slings? Yep, no slings.
The bag above is mine after having gone through some minor modifications. Notice that it sports a sling? Courtesy of the carabiner that i attached to the bag. Water proof and sand proof, ready for action at the beach.

[100708] dumb and dumber

Been getting alot of junk email of late.. most goes straight into the junk folder (thank you hotmail) but some inevitably gets into my inbox tray proclaiming that i've hit the jackpot or lottery in the following countries thus far: Ireland, England, USA, Switzerland. WOW! If that was true, i would be a millionaire 4 times over! But sadly, all these are the infamous hoaxes that appears on the news every now and then.

How in the world did anyone in the world get conned baffles me. They either dumb or just er... dumb. How in the world can you believe that you've won the lottery just through one email??? and the worse part is when they know that they've never set foot in those countries before let alone buy the lottery. Folks, common sense prevails, if you've never bought any lottery ticket, you'll NEVER EVER WIN a freaking lottery!!! geez. DUMBASSES.

just use a little common sense ok folks?

finally managed to buy my dry pack for use to the beach. Aint the ocean pack brand that i wanted but i settled for sealine instead. There came a problem, it didnt come with a sling, and it doesnt support slings. D'OH!! trotted back to the shop and yep, they didnt have a refund policy, clever damian, didnt even checked the bag properly before buying the freaking bag... smart, real smart. In the end, bought an additional sling and carabiner for $26. Came back, punched 2 holes at the bottom and slotted in the carabiner. Felt so proud of myself... haha... but i felt cheated and dumb nonetheless...

sighz.

冰雨-刘德华

我是在等待一个女孩还是在等待沉沦苦海
一段情默默灌溉没有人去管花谢花开
无法肯定的爱左右摇摆
只好把心酸往深心里塞
我是在等待你的回来(嗯)难道只换回一句活该
一个人静静发呆两个人却有不同无奈
好好的一份爱啊怎么会慢慢变坏
冷冷的冰雨在脸上胡乱地拍
暖暖的眼泪跟寒雨混成一块
眼前的色彩忽然被掩盖
你的影子无情在身边徘徊
你就像一个刽子手把我出卖
我的心彷佛被剌刀狠狠地宰
悬崖上的爱谁会愿意接受最痛的意外
(悬崖上的爱谁会敢去采还是愿意接受最痛的意外最爱的女孩)
