holidays is not as bad as I thought...

I take back what I say about holidays being boring and friends being so far away... Perhaps it is the end of year or perhaps I got it wrong from the beginning, this year end holidays seem to be rather fun filled and somewhat hectic for me. =p

Everyone (metaphorically) is back. Meet ups and gatherings were so well spread out the past week that there wasn't any day I felt bored... those time not spent with friends were spent running errands with my parents or simply watching TVB drama with mom. I am not a "drama series person" but mom will never start watching any drama alone. I decided to break my own habit for this once. Both mother and son completed the critically acclaimed "Beyond the Realm of Conscience".

Hmm... I shan't bore you with other details of the week except perhaps the fact that I got ear infection after trying to clean my ear the other day. Dang... the pain was excruciating. A word of advice for you guys... if you hurt yourself when cleaning your ear, make sure you seek treatment before the wound gets infected. Do not end up like me... even now my hearing with my left ear is still somewhat muffled.

I end with something I found on YouTube the other day. This channel features some interesting Japanese advertisements. Click Here.

a date with my evil twin....

Evil twin came to town for a seriously short trip this week but the whole time was awesome. Tonnes of catch up, tour and.... I finally got an excuse to get a ride on hop on hop off bus. I had listed that down as things to do for last semester's break. Overall an enjoyable and refreshing trip. Did you know that Malaysia has the largest free flight walk-in aviary?!

Anyway... the week was filled with nights out with friends new/old. I enjoyed the company of a couple (literally a couple of twins) new friends. Great laughter and jokes. Oh yeah... we finally submitted our entry for HSBC YEA competition.

Specially for my evil twin and friends from Singapore... if you feel bored during your semester break or you feel like you need to escape from your work stress... I recommend couple of places to check out. (P/S: You need to have an interest in Arts/History/Nature)

1. Singapore Philatelic Museum
2. Peranakan Museum
3. Kranji Countryside
4. Stanley St/Telok Ayer St/Amoy St/Ann Siang Hill Park/Club St etc.
   

Well... if you are not going to Singapore anytime soon, I would recommend you couple of website to fill your time instead. oobject.com features some interesting innovation. There's the famous FailBlog for some witty humour. If you are interesting in a little astrology, I recon something introduced to me by evil twin - astro.com. Search for free horoscope and enter your personal details like date of birth and time of birth. Enjoy.

two more months...

I have this feeling that I have done tonnes of things and been to tonnes of place... yet, it is barely one week into the holidays!!

One week into the holidays and I have... spent consecutive nights on the internet doing discussions, hung out in shopping centers for hours over the weekend, meet up with a few friends whom I did not catch up with during the lesson weeks, chill to great music and awesome drinks, movies, gaming, etc...

Still... Mom's birthday's tomorrow and my best friend from college is coming from Sg after dinner. I am suppose to meet up with my neighborhood friends one of these days too. Then there's my competition dateline on 11th. then there is bleah bleah ....

Anyway, I found this gallery/exhibit (ZINC) over the internet today. Click Here. The thing that caught my attention, when i found this website, was the name "Michael Lau". Michael Lau is the person who designed those LMF cartoon figure. During my high school/secondary education years, LMF was perhaps the most popular HK band among teenagers. err... anyway, this ZINC gallery reminded me of red dot museum that I frequent back in Singapore. If you are in Singapore during the first weekend of the month, do try and head over to red dot museum for MAAD. Click Here.

Yawnz... I guess I will check out for now...

war games playing in my mind...

Couple of my friends can identify several of my weakness... being easily fired up on few specific issues, cannot stop thinking once I going to this thinking mode and so called alter ego...

Over the course of the last two days, I have been spending some time preparing for the Young Entrepreneur Awards competition. During this period I have configured my brain to only focus on business plan... from assessing business plan, trying to improve on existing ideas etc. In doing so, I triggered "thinking mode". As a result, I was awake the entire time for last night but with my eyes shut. darn... I need to control my thoughts and not let my thought control me.

Anyway, while spending time Googling and surfing in preparation for the competition, I chance upon couple of interesting things (most of it through my friends). If you enjoy this composition by Jon Schmidt, just click on the hyperlink to go into his website. Jon Schmidt's website

holidays has begun... AGAIN

Another long break has begun... unlike the previous holiday, I do not have so much energy to plan and execute a research or do anything complicated...

I still hate holidays. I think people lose touch during long breaks away.

I was supposed to join my friends for a day trip to Genting but I decided against it for some personal reasons. In the end... I have my whole evening for discussion for some competition my friend convinced me to join. Click Here.

Now that I have time to catch up on things I seldom do during the semester, I have been reading my friends' blogs and I realized that since the last time I decided to stay away from the internet for almost a month I have not been in touch with a lot of my friends... sigh.

More updates soon...
