My driving test is coming within 2 hours time. I am slightly nervous but it is ok. Driving has taught me a lot about my own character. It revealed many of my weakness like over-thinking, assumptions and low performance under pressure. Funny how something so mundane can teach me so much. No matter what it is, love, life, career, whatever. It is a process of keeping on. All ......

Just spent an hour or so optimizing this blog and I shaved down about 2.5MB of loaded info per page. This should increase loading speed somewhat significantly. I also redid the logo and I hope everyone would like it. Red meat + alcohol is an undeniably the most attractive food combination for any man, even if it is a really weird combination of red meat + alcohol. You see, ......

The new Duckling shot! Crystal is all about form and calmness, keeping its resolve even in utter hopelessness (therefore the darkness of the environment). Duckling is more like a dream, an ugly duckling wishing to become a beautiful swan. The last shot was just an ordinary macro. This one packs more feelings. The water, the sunset, Duckling's field of vision. It wishes ......

Please click on the picture to enlarge it and read the text. Ok, good. Here is a man who avoided direct confrontation and at the same time scared the crap out of his "opponent". While frontal confrontation may work out, a non-frontal approach like this one require much more grace and intelligence. It's something for everyone to learn from. Just completed editing my Duckling ......

Hm... I think I should start writing in a more serious tone before my blog is reduced to something purely about whining. In fact, I am going to remove the whiner posts I've posted before. Well, we'll see. And I will start writing in Chinese once in a while too I think. Tomorrow I have two important tasks to do. In the morning, I will photograph the White Chocolate Biscuit ......

My computer died yesterday, totally and completely dead. While there is still power, nothing responds or reacts. I think it's motherboard. Anyway, to continue with my translation job unhindered, my parents and I went to Simlim Square yesterday night looking for a quick fix. At the cost of about 1k, I procured a motherboard, a CPU and a casing. Then I spent the whole night ......

Today (yesterday) is a sad yet fantastic day. We're holding a "Never Say Goodbye (something like this I think)" party for Jeremy who is leaving for US soon. I really hope he does fine there. Then again, he has his family with him so I guess everything will be alright. There are a strangely large amount of potato today... I made rosti (Julia said it bears more ......

Sometimes I really wonder if it is my sense of "fun" is wrong or is it others' because I find it disturbing how "harm" can become funny. Maybe it's because I've been on the receiving end of things "done for fun" that really hurt me? Maybe I'm too serious? I don't know but I really can't handle something like Jackass as "fun" or "funny". Maybe it's just me. And I consider ......

Some news! The new 24-70 2.8L II is on its way out. Fortunately it's not too expensive and that means 24-70 2.8L's price will drop. REJOICE! Tamaron's coming out its own 24-70 2.8 too. Looking forward to them all! I can already imagine myself holding a nearly new 24-70 2.8L with about 1.3k of expenditure. Mmmmmmmm! Muahahahahaha! But in that's not important. While I ......

Sometimes, all one seeks is someone who understands. Because everyone leaves, EVERYONE bloody leaves. Why must people leave? Why can't they stay? Why can't the people I like, I love, I appreciate, stay? It's like a bloody stupid joke. I'm not even asking to be appreciated or liked in return. I just wish to be together with everyone. I don't want to leave. Neither do I want ......

Utopia Within Temptation The burning desire to live and roam free It shines in the dark and it grows within me You're holding my hand but you don't understand So where I'm going you won't be in the end I'm dreaming in colors of getting the chance Dreaming of trying the perfect romance In search of the door to open your mind In search of the cure of mankind Help ......

A major lesson learned today: Even with 1% chance, put in 100% effort! And say no to pornography! Ahahahahaha ......
