Made some modifications to my car over the weekend. Replaced the air filter with a Green Twister and added a CAI to "improve" the performance of the car. More like pose factor. How when I rev my car, it makes a loud induction noise. Sweet!

Technology

Was out for lunch with my colleagues yesterday to a nearby coffeeshop. We have not been there for a while. Was surprised to see the drinks uncle wearing a bluetooth headset. He obviously had a bluetooth enabled phone.

Wonder why he needed it. Taking orders over the phone maybe - high tech.... haha

This is your life

Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you’ve broken
Don’t close your eyes, don’t close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you’ve got now
Yeah, and today is all you’ll ever have
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes

This is your life are you who you want to be
This is your life are you who you want to be

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

And you had everything to lose

In this Life

Let me show you what I’m made of
Good intentions are not enough
To get me though today and this life.
You’re in the basement watching the tv,
I’m on the second floor watching the ceiling.
We sleep underneath the same big sky at night.
I dream the same dream we can fly
You can run from me
You can hide from me
But I am right beside you
In this life.

Let me tell you who you really are
You’re my comfort
You’re not a superstar
I can reach up and bring you back down to the ground
And give you everything you dream about
You can run from me
You can hide from me
But I am right beside you
In this life.

I’ll give you all the things that I never get
Give you all I have and have no regret
Take you to the places that I’ve never been
Forgive you all the things that you cant forget
Take away the pain with my healing hands
Wash away your sins and set your spirit free
You can run from me
You can hide from me
But I am right beside you
In this life.

Let me show you what I’m made of

Complain Complain

MC complains alot. I mean alot. First she complians that I always say my friends, but I never give a name to my firends. And then she complains that life is not so wonderful because its not updated often enough. She begrudges that I pay more attention to Dashboard Confessions than to "Its a Wonderful Life"...;)

I'm closer than I was yesterday

I get all my bad habits watchin' you. It's true. Well, I wish that things were so different. Change it myself.It's what i'll do.

But, I can't figure it out, yet. Just how to make it perfect for you. But, I'm closer than I was yesterday.

They say that life is for learning. Well, teach to me to live while I'm here. Messages twisted and turning. What should I give. Make it clear.

Don't you know there's no difference. I'm not the same. I'm only here.To be with you
And now I'm closing the distance, dropping the claim. Trading the past for something new.

Why would you work without living. Spending your soul. What's it worth? Well, I hope you make it to heaven. Waiting for life here on earth.

CHERRY GARCIA!












CHERRY GARCIA!

You scored 74% SWEET, 70% CHUNKY, and 59% UNIQUE!

cherry sweet cream base with cherries and fudge chunks


Awesome...you are one of my personal favs: Cherry Garcia. You fall in
the middle on all measurements- sweet, wild, and unique, but not
overwhelmingly so on any of those. You make a good friend, able to
share your unique perspectives on things, and able to have fun without
winding up in jail or something. Good job.

Talk about lousy advertising, saw this poster at the lift lobby of my apartment. Really crappy tag lines, "Mosquito wars" indeed, you mean that's the best they can do, really. They should relook at their campaign. Haha. Maybe we should start some "war" against ads liek that, call it "Crap wars" of something...haha

Life is Wonderful

by Jason Mraz


It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying

It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
It takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction

La la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Al la la la la

It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to make you yawn, brother
It takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other

It takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
It takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished

Ha la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la

Is so...

It takes some silence to make sound
It takes a loss before you found it
It takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is meaningful
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la it is so beautiful

It is so beautiful (x8)
It goes full circle
It is beautiful

10 Commandments (alternate version)

This is hilarious.

COMMANDMENT 1. Marriages are made in heaven. But so again, are thunder and lightning.

COMMANDMENT 2. If you want your wife to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep.

COMMANDMENT 3. Marriage is grand and divorce is at least 100 grand!

COMMANDMENT 4. Married life is very frustrating. In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbours listen.

COMMANDMENT 5. When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: Either the car is new or the wife is.

COMMANDMENT 6. Marriage is when a man and woman become as one. The trouble starts when they try to decide which one.

COMMANDMENT 7. Before marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about something you say. After marriage, he will fall asleep before you finish.

COMMANDMENT 8. Every man wants a wife who is beautiful, understanding, economical, and a good cook.....But the law allows only one wife.

COMMANDMENT 9. Marriage and love are purely a matter of chemistry.... That is why wife treats husband like toxic waste.

COMMANDMENT 10. A man is incomplete until he is married....After that, he is finished

Originally uploaded by pierrefong.
The new National Library is HUGE. It has 15 stories in total, 3 of which are underground. Kinda felt a little lost in it. The last tiem I went to a library was in my uni days and even then, it was to sleep ahha. this place is really spacious, really wonder why they waste so much space though. Bookshelves are too spaced out. But there are plenty of chairs and sofas to rest.

The picture is of the Lee Kong Chian Library. Check out the interesting colours. High ceiling and at a ptetty high level I might add. Wonder how's the view in the day.

Originally uploaded by pierrefong.
Was at the Jubilee Hall at Raffles Hotel to watch a medical musical. Christine was acting in it and we were all there to support her. Musical started at 2.30pm and ended at almost 6. Longest musical I've ever been to. I must say it was a tad too long for me. I've got a short attention span. I really liked the opening scene though. Well done Christine, all that hard work paid off huh.
