20100529: Clutter 2010-5

It's almost that time of the year to clear my room clutter again. Hmmm... I declare Vesak day as ClutterDay. hehehe... On this day, I will do things related to clutter.
Start by random reading about clutter:
We are in influenced by things, events, and people closest to us. So it is absolutely logical and advisable to first start clean your bedroom clutter fengshui. The wonderwear under the bed, the skeleton clutter in your closets, sell/throw/flush/burn as many thing as possible not used in a long time. Take out all the items that create visual and heat like TV, computer, PSP (walao, i think i hit a really old article(http://fengshui.about.com/od/thebasics/qt/clearclutter.htm), nowadays TV is everywhere, especially in bedrooms LOL, well just go along with the reading), that do not belong in the bedroom. Exercise equipment, office/work related items, storage items. Ehhhhh... so in the past the bedroom they only put bed?
Other interesting read:
1) The bigger the piles got, the bigger my dread got.

Next take picture of room.

20100528: Train Seating

After 3 minutes, the train arrived. During morning rush hour, as usual no sitting place when I boarded, not that I really needed it; being "young people" & unimpeded in movement. I would feel unconsciously being stared at by Poison-evye or Silent-cursor if I sat down. Chuckle . . . that doesn't apply if you are not taking up space in the "special people reserve" seats though.
Bear in mind in a business corp island limited, where there is demand, there will be supply driven by the customer feedback or in this case the commuters complain.
Ever notice how if they announce cut cost, you will have to wait another 2 minutes the next day?If people complain not enough place to stand, the seating place will be reduced from 9 to 7; per cabin, that's like 4 "young" people cannot sit forever.
How about those:
1) old people who dye their white hair black
2) over-sized talking baby in the baby pram
3) fat people who look like pregnant
4) pregnant woman who refused to sit
5) old folks who refuse to be "Reserved Seat-ed"
6) Mother mauling you down with baby vehicle
7) Old people who gave up their seat
8) family of more than 3 doing a row.
9) Old people who want to seat at normal seat.
10) All day/night stand train with no seat and no prejudice
11) etc (to be updated whenever)
Conclusion is new train bigger compare to old. They minus away 2 seats when they build the new train. They claim it's for comfort, so while 7 comfortable people are sitting 2 uncomfortable people are some what "suffering".
Moral of the story is: Be careful what you wished for, you might get it when you're old and grey. Or your next generation might get it.

20100527: Humidity

Took the morning train these few days to office. Work up some sweat while dashing to cross the road at 7 seconds. This to beat the 22 seconds traffic running green man. About 2 seconds extra margin before the cars go mercilessly. Sort of reminds me of the 100plus commercial. LOL.
Arrived at the plateform sweaty felt cursed like a zombie slimmy rotten skin. Can't imagine at that instant how to do the day with all the salt covering my body; which explains how all the beauty industry can set up their flagship store at the most expensive location here. Looking around me, everyone is sweating, quiet and cussing... maybe.
One thing for sure. it pays insanely well for doing dermatology in this country.
It's that time of the year for the Great Singapore Sale & that hot and humid weather.

20100525: Black On Tuesdayz

Ever notice how everything around me seems to be black on Tuesday? Black coffee. Black computer screen, black electrical appliances, black file folder, black bag, black T shirt, black dustbin, black stingray wallet, black plastic bag, black camera, black diary, black handphone charger, black Nokia N73, black shoe boxes, black power brick, black dry box, black unwash T shirt, black notebook damper, black floppy disk, black cocacola zero, black working bag, black cabinet, black speakers, black duct tape, black uwear, black watch, black document bag, black pants, black shirt, black polo, black black sky (of course la, midnight liaw). ZZZ...

20100524: I Remembered Like It Was Yesterday

Couldn't believe what happened this morning, a drop of bird 'droppingz" flew like a b o m & landed on my bed while I was just a few feet away. It needle-eye-ed through the window grill, my towel, my hanger and unstoppably shot like an arrow to its target.

I seems to recall similar incident happened about 15 years ago when I was in Kuching.

The difference is, now I stayed on the top floor in Singapore, flocks of mocking? birds flew by every morning, afternoon & night,

I guess this is "D" day they decided to practise their aim. @#$%^&*.

Well... no matter, there's good SUN these few days & I already washed the "thang" off quickly.

I wondered if those birds fancy the cloths we hung out as target practice bull's eye? Leave the bird brains for the birds. :-)

This motivated me to buy Jackpot, but my number didn't "kena" today's draw.

Like Robin Hood Senior said "They rise and rised again, until lambs become lions. . . Never give up. LOL.

20100510: Reading - What You Can Learn From Silicon Valley

6+3 Thoughts from Reading While Posting - What You Can Learn From Silicon Valley
1) Maverick, non-corporate DNA - means casual working way, it's not about busyness, suits & uniforms.
2) Facebook with 400 million users, would be the 3rd largest country after China, India if it was a country.
3) Their office looks and feels like a living room. There's ample lighting, sofas & cosy decor.
4) They move fast, break things... cobble things together and see what comes up; sort of suntzu way, hmmm.
5) At Google, staff who meets all his targets is seem to have taken the easy way out. - they set easy achievable targets
6) Google did not turn up in Beijing in surfer shorts - Being Business oriented & Tech savy.
7) They don't only look at the CV, but also sense of humour (Googleyness). Same as Twitter.
7) Twitter created a company structure that supports creativity.
8) All recognise there are smarter people outside the company than within.
9) All understood that the only deal worth doing is a win-win deal.
Think that's about it, will check to see if I left out something (Rev1).

20100505: Green Zoning

Staring from the greens, I took my coffee in the morning cold.
As I gaze out across the field, the misty air in front of me.
Slowly... the sun would rise, the yellow ray broke thru the white.
At the early dawn, not a human in sight, I can only hear my own delight.
Without reasoning or insanity, the sound of silence can never appear.
Just whisper... gentle on my left ear, it's time to awake from the warmth of bed.
