Time to work overtime

Found out the first project that I worked on when I joined my company last year is going to go live this Saturday. So right now I’m rushing to convert the whole ASP site to a PHP one. It’s one hell of a challenge and worst still, my SQL statements have sub-queries in them! At the moment, my webhost’s MySQL is of an old version that does not support the wonderful sub-queries yet. [X(]


I’m going to be rather busy converting and might need to pull in one or two extra hours in the office…


Getting more and more addicted to the songs in Kotoko’s ç¾½ (Hane) album the same way I fell for Maaya Sakamoto’s Birds. [X)] The majority of Kotoko’s song’s music carry a rather sad tune. Her voice and singing style makes them even sadder. And it just so happens that I’m in the mood for sad songs.

I’ve – Kotoko

I have noticed this name and it confuses me till today. I got confused when cos I don’t know if it’s a songname or the name of the singer/band. And when someone mentioned I’ve’s Kotoko, I got even more confused.


And now, after a bit of googling, we have this informative link. Be sure to set page encoding to Japanese and check out the Information link on the left.

I Fucking Hate Dust. [>(]


Out of the blue, I moved my monitor to another corner of my room and dismantled my computer table. Took apart everything and cleaned up dust that had been accumulating for 2 years. There’s so much of them in thick layers you could probably stuff a small pillow and use it as a wrist rest. [:|]


So I washed and wiped and vacuumed the area. Dismantled any device with wires and revised the setup of the electrical plugs. I was able to remove 2 extension power sockets and even made freed up one power socket. The floor looks much less cluttered with wires now. With plastic raffia string, I tied up those extra long wires to make them shorter and less messier.


Then I met up with my friends for a swim at the SAFRA at Yishun. Guests have to pay S$3.10! I don’t really know how to swim so what I did for most of the 90 minutes was just stay in the pool and enjoy the evening sun and the young ladies in their swimsuits [XD]. I felt refreshed when we left.


For me, it was just another weekend well spent. [:)]

They no longer make comedy the way it used to be..

A rant against Singapore’s Jack Neo. The only time I watch TV is during dinner where I have to go to the kitchen away from my computer.



  • His programs are losing originality.

  • All laughter in his comedy shows are recorded and played after every freakin’ sentence.

  • His jokes are getting lame.

  • He and his gang are setting a bad example for young teens to follow.

What ever happened to “Liang Po Po”(Grandma Liang) ? Where did Moses and his “hey-orh, hey-orh” go? They used to be a lot more entertaining years ago if anyone remembers.


Now I may understand a little of why they say TV rots the mind. From my observations, half of Singapore’s teens are mimicking what they see on TV. They base their assumptions on what they see on TV. TV is becoming their bible to life!


I may sound nonsensical but one thing’s for sure, I’m fucking glad none of my friends behave that way. [X)]

No lunch money!

Bah… Left my money in my drawer and I forgot to take some this morning. Guess I’ll have to skip lunch.


Just added a Blogger’s Day link. Urgh… I’m a day late. [X(]

An extract from the webpage.

Why sign up?

There are over 4.12 million webloggers writing their thoughts so that people can share in the good things and in the bad, in the happy things and in the sad. Each weblog is certainly a world of its own. There are people out there who write phenomenal entries every day, while others muse a few days and write a smashing entry once a week… and the uniqueness of each blog is what makes them so interesting. Its the forbidding, often voyeuristic sense of reading someone’s journal that makes it so interesting, and no culture, race, sex, gender or any division can make a blog less interesting than another.



writing. freedom. expression.


So why should you join the list?

Because its a growing phenomenon: you can rest assured weblogs won’t dissapear for decades to come.
Because its to celebrate you: whether you write often or not, you still dwell in “blogland”
Because you express: and show your thoughts, feelings, happenings, likes, dislikes, privately or not
Because you make it happen: webloggers are proof that there are no borders in what and how people write
Because someone said: “Think of a blog as your own private therapist. Without the fancy fees.”
