The diverse Life
Getting sick of getting sick
I hate getting sick, despite what I understand in why do we get sick. I always feel that time getting sick is time wasted. And I would rather get sick on a weekday than on a weekend. A weekday, I can get a doctor’s certification and I don’t have to go to work. On a [...]
Blunder blender
Ever wish you have a gadget that could just blend away the blunders that you’ve made? To be able to start over? To be given a second chance?
Sometimes, you get a second chance, sometimes, you don’t. In either case, you’ll still need to create a mental blender to shred up the blunder you’ve made, in [...]
My random seven
I wonder how the number seven came about, and why this number is chosen as oppose to any other numbers for this tag from Rick. Which leads me to the first random point about me:
1. I like numbers, but somehow I’m not very numerate. I like the elegance of numbers, like how any division by [...]
Offsite to meet the Heroes?
Nah, our annual offsite was not a visit to the Heroes set, like the lucky bunch who gave us Google Reader. And I thought I was already quite close when I saw some of the Heroes cast here! Our offsite this year was a milder version of the Amazing Race, without the “strange things you [...]
Heal where it’s most painful
Have you had an injury but you just can’t pinpoint where the pain is? You know it hurts, but you just don’t know where it hurts. And if you don’t know where it hurts, you don’t know the source, and if you don’t know the source, you can’t fully heal the injury.
From my basketball days, [...]
I miss writing
It has been a while since I last wrote anything creative. Most of my writings have been dull unexciting pieces of junk that passed as compliant writing at work. BOOOORING!!! I can’t imagine writing any more of that without some other outlet. I’m not saying I’m a very creative person, but I was once told [...]
My Heroes
Ever wished to be a Hero? A hero like Superman? Spiderman?
You don’t have to have superpowers to be a Hero.
That’s one of the quote from a TV series titled “Heroes”. The TV series is about a group of people with special powers. Some of these people think about the amount of good they can do [...]
Harry Potter 7 - no spoilers, I promise
I am another year older now, but still, I am holding a Harry Potter book on my way to work. The train journey seems pretty short nowadays. The usual “are we there yet” has given way to “oh no, only one stop to go!” as I hurried through the pages before I need to alight [...]
A student becomes a teacher
After becoming a student for years, a few friends asked me to teach Tai Ji. I rejected profusely, citing some lame excuses e.g. not ready, not good enough, do not want to mislead etc. Of course, being friends, they have the normal comeback for each of my excuses. I think the fact that I’m not [...]
A whole day of hiccups
Chinese New Year brings with it lots of yummy food. Due to commercialisation, you can actually get these food any time of the year, not just during the festive period, but there is just this little bit more temptation during the festive season to try out the food. As I hop from one house to [...]
