As I look out my window pane, the afternoon Sun shone without mercy down the crack earth, drying everything in it's path. The weather seems odd these few days. With late afternoon downpour just enough to wet the earth and then disappear as soon as it came.
One of the trees has grown quite tall with it's branches reaching up for the sky, it seems to be shedding it's leaves.
Few months ago, a fire broke out and nearly burnt it down. The branches at the bottom of the tree has dried up, but it still remain bushy at the upper part. I hope it will continue to survive & flourish as the shade is very much needed to cool the surrounding environment.
Sometimes just by shedding leaves and then growing new shoots & branches. This shows that even plants in evergreen tropical country need to rejuvenate. Ever notice that the trees look the same but feels differently? Every year, around that same time, there's a different feeling or a scent in the air that we just could not describe. Maybe we do have our seasons here after all.
Rejuvenation is part of a yearly process necessary for growth, not only in spring time do we need to clean up our room, sometime we need that extra energy & push from our surrounding to proceed, to reach out & touch the Sun.

20100628: Needless Things
I am surrounded by needless things (a.k.a clutter) due to the former habit of shopping & constantly picking up dead chicken. I'm not one of those impulse buying type though, I hope. Recently I have this stronger urge to reduce demand and increase supply so that the price of things will fall and they will become "ded-chickieen" for me to pick up. It's become like a cycle to achieve my goal, the only thing to do is to wait it out. Hmmm.
How did I conclude that I'm not an impulse buying type? First off, I seldom use my credit card, picking up points for exchange of gift is beyond me. I was having shopping session few days in a row with parents, siblings and friends. I found that people are more prone to spend when they're with their friends rather than relative. One thing is I did not spend money on buying my things during my parents' recent vacation here. LOL, except for the $10 France world cup Giordano T shirt on cheap sale. Hahaha (had to laugh at those Francee' for crashing out, next team I wanna sabo I will buy their T-shirt). For that except for paying for all my parents' shopping expenses, food and utilities stuffs, I didn't spend another single dime... So, only $10 for the whole 5 full days of my parents shopping getaway. Conclusion, I'm not one of them people who feel overwhelm by the hugeness of the high-class shopping center environment, seeing something overpriced and wanna show off they can spend their hardearned blood & sweat money against their normal better judgment in an air-conditioned place full of people waiting to service you with a smile as if their salary depended on it. Nah... not my thang.
This urge I had for reduce demand and supply, well... Me and my buddies conclude that after watching world cup we should do green tiles, green roofing and green everything. One of the goodness that becomes of this is to "j00" g00ogle map's accuracy satelite spy cam on our roof top. Going green and recycling maybe good for our earth. So, if we demand less, people will produce less & mnc company like the one I'm working for will have less customer demand so our supplied output will be less, hence reduction in OT working hours & green house gas emission & I can go back home while the sun is still up & have some quality time daily to update my blog instead of 1 time in 2009. That's the green life all stemming from watching world cup & insomia. Ding...
Ded-Chickieen, there are few types
1) Dead due to sick and throw out in trash.
2) Those kampung chicken crusing in mid air & kena windscreen.
3) Walk walk pok-pok & suddenly the "kai" pokkai drop dead from over feeding a.k.a heart attack.
4) Old & ripe enough to become brands essense of chicken
5) Chicken that wouldn't lay egg & won't die
6) Good chicken that got thrown out for no reason
7 ) etc . . .
Now about achieving my goals, I looking back I think I set them too easy. So, the only thing to do now is to wait.

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.

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.

20100220: Reading - Prosperity Year
23 Thoughts from Reading While Posting - Prosperity year 2010.
Thoughts of 2010 in General:
1) Drama, intensity, change travel (ok, will take note).
2) world conflicts and disasters (hmm... nothing can top the perils & uncertainty I felt during 9-11; or even the tsunami incident, so this is "bull")
3) won't be a dull 12 months for anyone (ok, will take note, especially what undull things others are up to)
4) far reaching changes for everyone (as a person accustom to changes, this is basically normal)
5) New inventions and incredible technological advances have a good chance of occurring (market strategy to incur forced spending, I succumb not)
6) seizing opportunities and making the most of our personal and very individual talents (ok, will take note & apply those set of mirror skills when needed)
7) Everything happens quickly and dramatically (already pick up paced since mid last year, also pick up white hair & eye bags. @#$%^&)
8) blink and you could miss an important chance of a lifetime (that's why i have a video phone).
Habitat Thoughts:
9) Zodiac Stone: Sapphire (jade can or not? I don't want to wear my sapphire accessories so often)
10) Special Flower: Violet (will watch out for people named violet)
11) Best Hours: 3-5 am (best hour to sleep?)
12) Best Season: Winter (will play some snow this year :-))
13) Horoscope Colors: Green, Blue, Yellow (from the 3 I only like blue; #$%^ will buy some green/yellow under-garments)
Lucky Thoughts:
14) 2010 holds great promise exciting developments both personally and professionally (great news but I feel so so only, so-so will take note).
15) Disappointed and disheartened 2009 (no, I've gone thru worst years, last year was kacang, most things came my way)
16) important to leave the past behind and CONCENTRATE ON THE FUTURE, which is looking so BRIGHT! (Super Love This Statement, I started buying Jackpot LUCK. kekeke)
17) Financially, everything improves this year (hmmm... doubtful but good to hear for my ears)
18) money-making thoughts and ideas should be fully explored and investigated (not so sure; GOOD ADVICE this one is though)
19) With the fast pace of this year for all signs, needs to take extra care in planning and thinking all projects through – no rushing headlong into schemes during 2010! (Patience I super have, learning from Survivor while waiting for competition die off)
20) romance will possibly see a friendship suddenly develop into something more personal with exciting consequences. (wah... let's see how it goes this year)
21) August, December and January-2011 (Fun activities)
22) March to May will bring encouraging and interesting job opportunities (Time to test the market)
23) Make sure he puts himself forward and gets noticed at work (already got notice for attacking a lot during play, what need is to build a perfect defence for my teammates to advance the opposing factions, If necessary hostle offensive will be applied. For the benefit of the TEAM).
END ... CHOW BABY...

20080801: Clutter Other People
Stumble upon this pictures of other people's clutter. Before the clean up and after, looks fantastic. Thought I reexamine the potential of an empty canvas over an over crowded living space & tranform it into some art for easy living. :-)

20080726: I Know What You Did To Your
Timberland wrappers:
These wrappers from Timberland are ideal as box wrappers for my new colour scheme.
Like what they say: "Don't Wear It, Use It".

20080719: I Know What You Did To Your
Nirvana T-Shirt:
"Come as you are, as you were, as I want you to be. as a friend, as a tramp, as I know memory... ya... memory... ya...".The moment I heard this song and it's addictive melody, Nirvana & Kurt Cobain became a permanent part of my existance.
This is my one and only favourite Nirvana black rocker's T which was very popular during college days.I've "out-sized" the T-shirt but the smell of teen spirit will be permanently encast in an LCD TV cover at my living space. :-)
"Long live Nirvana."
