Some People
Some people come into for a spell, but after a while they leave Some people walk with you through hell, and they stick with you long as you breathe Some people bring with them a chime, but the bell only tolls when they mourn Some people stay only for a rhyme, and when you’re down they scorn Some people look upon from afar, and protect you unappreciated Some people stay close, keep their...

"Actually"
We need to educate Singaporeans on the proper context, nuance and use of the word “actually”.
Many promising academics make themselves sound defensive or desperate to look intellectual when they add in the word “actually” into responses:
“What is the value of <something>?” “The value is actually <insert value here>.”
What good does it...
“Those who walk away from you in the dark should be forgotten in the light.”

My phone, after going through my rugged life, is finally screaming to stay alive. Please hang in there a while more!

Friendships and Loyalty
It’s snowing outside in London, and I just had a great dinner with god-family and friends! I was contemplating on a cider but given the amount of food i just ingested and the temperature i thought a warm cup of Horlicks would do a better deal :)
=========
Recent events have brought up thoughts of what friends should be like, and what their loyalties should be. More so, it brought up...

Sometimes it doesn’t pay to be streetsmart. But I’d rather be streetsmart than naive and dumb.

“Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger”
I think this post was very well crafted, and could be very potent to most of us, being a very realistic and down to earth post, without the airyfairy-ness often associated with religion.

…Or is it really a scandal?
Just because one thinks differently and lives differently doesn’t mean one is wrong or unmotivated.

iPad app for Tumblr
Anyone know of a good one? I do hope the Tumblr Team come up with an iPad version soon, primarily because I’m finding it a lot easier to type on the iPad than anything else =\

Toughness
“The ability of a material to absorb energy and plastically deform without fracturing. Material toughness is the amount of energy per volume that a material can absorb without rupturing. It is also defined as the resistance of fracture of a material when stressed.
Toughness requires a balance of strength and ductility.”

Tis the feeling of “so much to do that I don’t feel like doing anything”. Not that I could even if I wanted to today.
Bleh
Once again i had a long text post done but tumblr erased it all. Meh.

Tube travel thoughts - 19 Jan 2012
Sometimes we can’t quite explain what we’re feeling.
Take me for example. I may be a pessimist to say so, but generally I feel like I’ve had a rough track, though people may or may not agree. Then again, only I know what I’ve been through and what goes on behind the smile. Most of my friends find that I’m unbelievably jaded and some even think I was ignorant and...
Walked home from the station “accompanied” by an Audi with blue “eyelights” playing the Terminator theme. Skynet is closer than we thought.
Opinions
Word.
rubyrenegade:
Everyone has a right to their own opinions. If you don’t like something, there’s no point in anyone trying to change your mind. However, if you choose to insult someone directly, it would be considered hating. Wether or not you try and counteract your hate with “Well, I said she was pretty”, it was still a directly negative comment. If you don’t know me personally, you have...

Dear Parents (and Prospective Parents)
These are your child(ren) speaking, or at least some of us.
We want you to know that we love you very very much, and we know the lengths you have gone to take care of us. Shuttling us around, sending us for classes (even the ones we didn’t want to take - hey, after a while we have to admit that they did us some good, even if it wasn’t the good that either of us intended to happen),...
