Muselisation

I always had people coming to me asking, "Hey whats that on your back???" or "Why do you wanna put a shark on your back???"



Well, for me as an all time shark lover, I had always wanted to do my small part in in my own way to prevent Shark from being extinct.

My first attempt, took place almost 10 years back, when I stop consuming Shark Fins. As a traditional delicacy at all Chinese banquet dinner, just as everyone else I love this dish to the max!
However, on one very occasion, I chance upon a documentary talking about how people fish the shark, get the fins off them and throw them back into the sea. This cruel sight really leaves a deep impression and have great impact on me. Since that day on, I stop taking Shark Fins, no matter how much I used to love eating it...

My father always tell me, "You don't eat the shark fin, you are only wasting whatever that have been cook." To refute that, I always tell him, "By doing this, people will take note of my action, even if I am able to influence another person, I am happy that I did my part."

As such, this morning when I saw this very article about US is moving to being touch on Shark Fins, I was really happy about it.



Then, it leaves me wondering, when will Singapore do it's part in preserving this animal...

Just last night I saw this interesting life analogy in Chinese from the TV...

爱情就像德士，有时候你等它， 有时候它等你。。。
只要你愿意等， 一定等的到。。。

Been more than half a year, since I was here to drop that few words that I used to do.

During this period of time, quite a series of things been happening in life, so that was why I kind of like went MIA.

Tracking back to Aug, I was flew Down Under to Perth and Tasmania, where I finally get to meet up with my bestie. My girlfriend, whom I only get to see her like once or twice a year, and with her new relocation to Perth, it just make the meet up more difficult.





After which, was further down to Tasmania, for my sister's convocation. Tasmania was indeed different from the rest of Aust, in terms of development as well as the people. Together with my family, we drove up to Cradle Mountain, arriving the place where everywhere is green is peaceful. It was amazing at how when I woke up the next morning, greeting me was the lovely snow. Despite the few hours trap that the snow had caused us, it was nevertheless, a wonderful experience once again after my Canada trip.



Upon returning from my long holiday, I decided to plunge in into making a life turning decision. Getting myself off the comfort zone, taking up a new job which is kind of closer to what I had always been wanted to do. However, it all comes with a price to pay for, pay cut, benefits cut as well as less time for myself. Nonetheless, I truly hope and wish that, all these little scarifies will be worth it in the long run.

Now, it has been more than 2 months since I got into the job, and the probation period will be over in about 2 weeks time. Hopefully I am able to make it through and continue to be with this current company. Despite being here for slightly more than 2 months, but the amount of things that I have learnt so far is really so much, and I was loaded with responsibilities that I do not get to experience in my previous job, which from time to time can be kind of challenging. I definitely look forward to learning and experiencing more of these.

With 2011 just a few steps away from us, once again, I wish for a better year next year with everything falling into place.

Merry X'mas & Happy 2011~!!!!!

最近为了一些往事而使自己有点不开心...

周围的朋友经常都对我说: "要学着放下, 不要在这里兜圈圈... 惟有放下了, 你才能继续前进."
说来容易, 但当你处在实际情况里时, 往往事情就复杂化了.

有些人在面对困难时就会使用逃避来解决问题.
而我呢却选择了要勇敢的去面对, 但是有些时候我反复看到我自己在躲避, 一直不停的在兜圈子.

直到最近, 有位很要好的朋友就对我这样说: "你有没有想过, 可能你要有另一个人来取代他在你心目中的位置... 我并不是说这个人会站取他所有的地位, 但是这个人能使你把 focus 转移别的东西或人."

对于这翻话, 我觉得也许是时候我开始使用另一种方式来治疗我自己.

As all knows I am never a fan of super heroes... Nonetheless, last week when a friend was nice enough to offer me a movie pass to the premier of Ironman 2, I decided to give it a shot.
For once, I was really enjoying the movie, not too bad of a storyline and utterly impress with the special effects that was presented in the show...


Quite a few scenes in the show that was taking place at Tony's house really amazes me. The advancement of the technology with the entire house fully computerize and the ability to communicate with the computer and robot, dropping instructions to them off from your mouth directly... That is really impressive.

According to a friend, more than 50% of the special effect in Ironman 2 was constructed by the crew of Lucas Film in Singapore... Which means, Singapore plays a big part in this film too~!!!


I rate Ironman II:


Ending the weekday at the Ice Cold Beer with Sec Sch friends of The Best Friend...
What more can you ask for when you get to drink the night off and get high with a great bunch of companion after a super stressful week... Shiokness x 10...


Saturday was another night of boozing away, but with the additional companion of Jazz... The night started off with attending the Lisa Ono's concert, which was really fantastic...

The first half of the concert was more like a warm-up for her, not exactly impressive, but was definitely good enough. However, when we came back from the 20 minutes intermission, together with her group of musicians she uses her voice to led the crowd to the next level of what I call enjoyment. It was really so great listening to her, her voice was able to bring you into the picture and makes you feel totally submerge in the music. As she said, "I can sing forever..." I guess for me, "I can listen to her forever too..."

The group then proceed to Axis Bar @ Oriental Hotel for the continuation of Jazz-ing the night away...

Together with a close we are trying our luck at the JetSaver Light Challenge...

In the first part of the challenge, we are suppose to do a video introduction of ourselves, as well as answering a few questions that JetStar had posted to us...

So if you have time, please hop over to www.hthtfriends.blogspot.com and have a look at the "OUR VIDEO IS UP~!!!!!!" We strongly welcome you to drop any comments.

Ever thought about what was the best invention that had happened to you??

While many out there have been talking about mobile phones being a bad invention. These day it seems that mobile phone have gradually becoming a part of us and it became so important that one may not be able to make do a day or feel totally not at ease without it.

I personally felt that, the best invention that had happened around me would most probably be the internet as well as the MSN messenger.

Reason being? For one simple reason, when it comes to making phone calls catching up with friends, I am just the laziest person to do it, even if they are best friends and family members. Some 20 to 30 decades back, when internet were still barely exist, my uncle had to stayed up through the midnight just so that he could make a phone back home to Singapore while studying in Canada. And what makes thing worse is that, overseas phone bills those days are not cheap at all. However, with the invention of internet, it brings people much closer, irregardless of which part on earth are you at.

Moments ago, I was just telling a close friend like I was able to make do without mobile phone and Facebook, but without MSN, I go hay wire.

There were a few incidents where I would forgot my mobile when leaving the house, and only to realize it when I reached school. At that point of time, there was no sense of uneasiness or anything like that. On the contrary, the people around me are the one who went berserk when they were unable to contact me on my mobile.

On one incident, the best friend was trying to get hold of me, and when I finally got home to check on my phone, there were like 14 over miss calls and my phone was flooded with SMSs, asking me where I was, am I ok, and please get back to her as soon as I see these messages. **She thought I met with some accident or got kidnapped by the aliens**

It's really amazing like how these technologies have come to take over our life and make up feel lost without them...
