Thanks to Rowena for these pics from the Banda Fantastika gig..(So this is what I look like with red hair dye bwahaha)Last week was the most exhaustive week ever. Try sleeping at 12am, then waking up at 3am to finish some demos (software, not songs!). Going to the office at 8 to do conference call. Attending a meeting at 10. Continue with the demos until 2.

Wow Jeremy (from Songcraft) painstakingly cut, edited, uploaded to YouTube, and commented on each of the songs in the Songcraft blog! I have very high regard for Jeremy for having this much dedication to the group. Here's a picture from that night by the way..(that's not me holding the guitar, that's Betty.

The weather almost always puts a twist in our mundane everyday lives. Two days ago it was raining very hard when I woke up. Being in Singapore for about a year now, I knew the rain would stop in about half an hour or so, just enough time for me to fix up before I go to work. An hour later it was still raining. So I called up a cab and waited by the guard house. Whenever I pass by the guard

Rain has eaten away at our makeshift clothesline - a bench-like furniture (which oddly has a "Sony" logo marked on it) that we turned sideways. Water has softened the wood inside, causing the base to be unstable.So, I bought two adjustable aluminum rods and four plastic clamp thingies that I saw in a do-it-yourself shop in Novena Square, to hold the two long main bars where we hang our clothes.

I thought this game was meant to be played as one whole box of 9 x 9 squares where each vertical and horizontal row should have non-repeating numbers from 1 - 9. Stupid.Aimee told me that the whole thing is actually divided into 9 parts, of 3 x 3 squares that was also meant to be filled with numbers 1 - 9. From then on, my sudoku life became much easier.Share the pain.Add To My Blog

I need to take a break.I went to HMV earlier, and was quite disappointed. I was browsing through every listening machine and every new album they have in display. Maroon5, Transformers soundtrack, Linkin Park, Kelly Clarkson, even Julio Iglesias, and all albums in their charts. Nothing seems to satisfy me anymore, music-wise at least. It's a scary thought.I went back to my roots, and bought

Welcome once again to my foolproof-tried-and-tested series of inspirational stuff that aim to make you feel sorry for yourself because I have the intellect to come up with this crap and you don't.Anyway, I'm here to present to you my 5 B's to unleash your creativity. Now why the hell would you want to do that. Well for one, you're bored with your life and want to do something different (you

I love to ride the MRT. Some may find it weird but I've actually tried riding from Pasir Ris to Boon Lay (stopping by at Jurong Point) and back. The main reason was for me to "get out more". Hmm but staying inside the MRT doesn't really qualify as going "out" does it haha!Anyway, I do still ride the MRT for such reasons and "hang out" pathetic occassionally in one station (I stay inside the

We have three toilets in our office floor, one for men, one for women, and another designed for "handicapped" people. The last toilet is under repair though..You know how those "handicapped" toilets are - cleaner than the "gender" toilets, very spacious, complete toiletries, doesn't stink, it's almost like a mini-hotel. Once in a while I see someone go in there with a magazine in hand, or a

A few months back I attended a SOMA (songwriting) class. We recorded this cover song (Angels - Robbie Williams) on the last day.You know that feeling you get when someone scratches their nails on the blackboard?Exactly the same feeling you get when you listen to this. Haha! Enjoy.

OMG, this was bound to happen..Google has released their My Maps service which provides tools for anyone to create their own mashup. A mashup refers to two or more services integrated together. In this case I combined Google Maps and Meebo using My Maps. You can check out this clip from cnet that shows you how to create your own mashups.HOWEVER, there's a bug that erases the embedded HTML

In fact you can place him up to chat for you thru MSN!

I can't contain this anymore. I've been struggling for a long time, hiding my true identity. If I've been weird around people, I guess this pretty much explains why. Recently I've been opening up to people, so most of you would know already. If not, then.. I am gay.I've been gay for as long as I can remember. It wouldn't come as a surprise really. I hang around with girls more. I have very

Forgetting Luna on SellaBandI have promoted Forgetting Luna once again, this is probably the 999999th band site I've uploaded our music to. But this new site is so cool, if you get people to buy "parts" (basically buying your music) and reach $50,000 (hahaha! laugh with me c'mon!), you can use the money to record in the studio and distribute your music! You just need "believers" to buy your

Hmm, recently I've been getting a lot of add contact requests from people, well not a lot, but so far, four. Two of whom I know (in a "i-know-him/her-but-he/she-doesn't-know-me kind of way), and two others whom I DON'T KNOW.They do seem to have valid names and are valid people (but I can only base this on their email address, which doesn't resemble anything like janah3767letsgooutsometime@

SO.. After sleepless nights I've finally finished doing the traffic monitoring gadget. You can check it in Microsoft Singapore's Vista Sidebar page and look for the LTA Road Monitoring Gadget. (If you'll notice the radio gadget is also there :) For those without Vista..After all the hard work, I took the initiative of rewarding myself with...

Mond just sent me a bunch of pictures we took during our Forgetting Luna gigs. I'll just post one here hehe.From left to right: Alan (guitars), Mond (bass), Me (Lip-sync), Nico (guitars), Jon (percussions, in this case a "kahon")This was an acoustic gig of some of our original songs, which in my opinion turned out to be f*ckin awesome. The calamari was great too.See you guys soon.

Not so long ago, I blogged about my boss, who I look up to and keeps me pretty well grounded with my current company. I guess you can say that I work for him, and not necessarily for the company.Well, he's abandoning ship.It's like being slapped out of dreamland. That's how I really felt.You know what they say, "People leave the company because of their bosses."Taken on a slightly different

I caught this view while walking home a few hours ago..Actually I've taken many pictures from the same spot during nights while walking home (yeah I had to look around first, else people will think it's weird). This picture is different from the rest though, because it has the moon in it. And that made all the difference, for me to finally understand why I was drawn to the damn thing..Van

Property rates have been rising like hell. My friend's condo rent shot up from 1400 to 1800SGD/month! I'm going to need every excuse I can get to convince the landlady not to raise her price, come May.."C'mon, I'm living over the edge here.. what if that thing eats me?!!!"

I was hoping to watch Hannibal "Gong Li" Rising last night but it starts at 11:45 and am way too sleepy. Going back to the MRT I saw this dude playing didjeridu. Not your everyday busker. You can't see it in the video but he has a banner reading along the lines of "music is his form of communication" and claims he's traveled all over the world busking. Not sure whether I'd believe that or not

Went to Mediacorp this morning to sort some things out. But I didn't get the chance to eat breakfast before leaving the house because I woke up late was in such a hurry. If I get there without having breakfast, I won't have a chance to eat until 6pm.Luckily, there was a sandwich-spitting machine just right outside of Mediacorp's waiting area.Some kids banged up the adjacent coke dispenser with

Last week I went to an event hosted by fundsupermart.com called "What & Where to Invest in 2007" . I'm not exactly a "hardcore" investor, as probably most of the attendees were (nor do I have that kind of money to invest anyway.. yet), but I was glad to have met Mr Warren Mira, owner of http://pinoymoneycentral.com/ .

With technology moving at a feverish "shrinking" pace, we seem to have forgotten how the "older" generation will cope. Case in point, I saw this uncle in the MRT, texting from his cellphone on one hand, and holding a magnifying glass on the other..And if that ain't cool enough, I could've sworn his phone was ringing "Tokyo Drift (Fast and Furious)" when he took it out of his bag.Yes, they're

Seryosong post muna..I have a dilemma. I like the company I'm working for. I didn't intend to like it, but since that is the case now, it has become a problem for me. I am in that usual "money versus nice job" situation. As much as I want to move on to find a new job (with higher salary), I am held back by some stuff that I think would be difficult to find in any other company. Ok that's

I didn't realize how much I missed home until I went back there last December.christmas tree.. my mess..it's still running..my mess again.. the mirror..the new U-turn shaped stop light signal, only in the phils..forgetting luna.. never forgotten..my mess again..the sala upstairs, i rarely watch here..pirated dvds.. there's another layer behind the ones you're seeing..upstairs, leading to

Yesterday our team went to watch Eragon at the Cathay Cineplex. Here's a picture taken by the "pink tree" heheOh, and don't bother watching Eragon. It sucks! Sienna Guillory made it bearable to watch though..

Got myself an early bday/christmas present..I remember buying Myst Riven back in college. (Shucks that was an original copy as well). This one was released almost two years ago, and made a mental note to pick it up *someday* .Let the insanity (and sleepless nights) begin.This will have to wait until next year though (hmm I make it sound like it's so far away). I'm going home tomorrow yey!

If you recall, I installed Vista on my laptop.. err Amano, and toyed with the idea of doing gadgets (those thingies on the right hand side of the Vista desktop). Anyway, this Microsoft dude who came over to the office mentioned that there's a contest here in Singapore for gadgets. I checked the site and lo and behold, a contest. Ahehe.A week or two later, I had a working gadget.It's a radio

Went to Toys 'R Us last Thursday at Tampines Mall. Actually I went there only for the pizza in Pastamania, but figured I'd do some toy window shopping and pretend someone *winks* will actually buy me some of these for Christmas..For those who watch the old cartoon series, Bumblebee is supposedly a yellow Volkswagen. However in this toy version I think he's a Chevy Camaro(?). Probably to be in

Ok, my coworkers would probably disagree, but I've been contemplating a lot about this. And there's never a better situation than today to stress that I feel I am in a good company, loose and volatile as it may seem. I'll probably regret about this post someday, but right now I want to be proud and excited of what I am currently part of.I work in a data hosting and web services company, with

I'm getting bored. My options are..1) Sleep it off2) Make music3) Buy some self help book (again)I'm having trouble sleeping, thanks to a built in "dream" cable inside my head, i get weird channels once i hit the sack. (I once got a "Discovery-ESPN" crossover, dinosaurs playing tennis.. )Music, hmm, I've been doing that quite a lot lately, probably time to let it rest for a while.So I'm left

I was never a history buff, nor a fan of Frank Miller (the guy who drew "Sin City", yeah the movie with Jessica *hot* Alba dancing on it). But this movie trailer has somehow gripped me....hmm, probably has to do with the background music? Which is Nine Inch Nails' "Just Like You Imagined". Hmm yeah, probably has a lot to do with that. But the trailer's equally appealing, so we'll see. March
