Tea, I drink with JAM and bread Posted by Unknown , Friday, August 22, 2008 at 11:46 pm, in

Nop, I am not trying to sing the song do re mi....
but this is what I can do in my car every morning when driving to work...

I can take my time to toast the bread, smear butter and jam, standing by the boiling water, so I can make myself a cup of Lipton tea, while checking out the cars in the filter lane just slightly ahead of me joining our little JAM party.

Yes JAM... JAM and more JAM... a 20 mins journey turns out to be an hour drive... Its longer than driving from cck to changi airport.

2 days ago was one of the worse Jam.... The jam started even before I left the carpark... I dunno is this coincident or Truman show in real life; everyone seems to leave home for work simultaneously today. I know because I have to queue just to get out of the multi-story carpark.

As my house is just beside KJE, immediately I turn into another super long queue known to modern people as JAM... Usually there's lots of car, but not enough to constitute a jam.... oh well... Anyway it didn't take me long before I realise a van broke down in the middle of the expressway. Hey man, you know u r a van and u noe its a old van... so please keep to the left side and die there, dun jam it up at the middle of nowhere.

Immediately I started rerouting... knowing there's a less travelled road old choa chu kang road which can lead me to PIE. Happily, I got off the expressway and drove towards the single lane road, with a L-plate car that just knock down a motorcyclist waiting for me.... well done... ok lucky he's a L-plate... can't drive fast... so that guy suffered minor cuts and bruises...
However I think it will be a good time that the instructor taught his student to turn on the hazard lights so that everyone from behind know he is not going to move anymore!

Ok 1 broke down vehicle and 1 traffic accidents in a single trip.... not common but not unheard of... so when I was counting that no more traffic incident will happen... the filter lane that I am suppose to exit have another broke down vehicle.... don't anyone in Singapore take care of their cars?? Do they even heard of maintenance?? Ok, in a supposedly 20 mins drive to work turns out to be one of my longest trip... a record of 1 hr and 20 mins... due to 3 traffic incidents... well if its accident... I guess sometimes its really hard to avoid... but broke down vehicles......... oh man... the driving school should emphasize more on car maintenance as well..

绝处逢生 Posted by Unknown , Monday, August 11, 2008 at 8:13 pm, in

Something I ripped off the net


绝处逢生　　

　是意志力的源泉，是信心的保障。一些很难解决的问题，需要深层次的解决方法。绝处逢生，不断地想象自己什么都没有了，才能从根本上净化自己，从思想上彻底摒弃一切私欲和杂念，才能从根本上提高自己。 孤独产生激奋，激奋化作力量。

Another more recent mass game from North Korea Posted by Unknown , at 12:05 am, in

Another more recent mass game from North Korea

The best mass display in the world!!! Posted by Unknown , Sunday, August 10, 2008 at 9:29 pm, in

Ok, the best mass display in the world. This is my personal opinion of what is the best display in the world. Not something people voted for or some awards proclaiming them the best in the world.

My reasons for voting them world best
Well currently the world will be saying that the Beijing Olympic mass display is spectacular, thousand of performer able to synchronise their movement, their amazing lighting's effect and props, especially the scroll and the floating Olympic logo.

But wait till they see the performance by north Korea... they do not have so many amazing props or effect... however their performers especially the gymnastic performers can performed difficult to execute movement in sync!!! They can lift their leg in exact height, do somersault in exact timing and swing their props with precise angle! Its like watching computer graphic effect, with all the people clone... doing the same thing... I guess their only difference is their looks in the whole performance...

heres one of the video I found on youtube. I can't find a better version which I chance upon many years back, its in a video tape format which I think is long gone.




One has to ask oneself, how did they manage to do so well... I guess this is the power of brainwashing and fear instill into them... since by not doing well in the performance might mean something really nasty to them! Their livelihood might just depends on this one performance... So in order to survive, they will have to do it well... and I mean really well....

Its actually kind of sad for me admit that the best mass display in this world is performed by a country with some wacko leader... Where everyday they are being oppress and live in fear... whatever they can do and cannot do is determine by their "Great Leader" So I do wonder how true their passion are in this mass display... Lets just hope one day their life will change and they will performed not to survive, not to please their physco leader, but because they enjoyed it.

PP 2009 Ticket Design Posted by Unknown , Tuesday, July 22, 2008 at 8:36 pm, in

Design of PP 2009 for Ngee Ann Dance Group.
The inital idea is to create a shooting stars with dancers dancing under the Stars.

Sadly, the shooting stars turn out to look more like a beam of light with ppl dancing under it... Lol... not realli the effect I am looking for. Oh well thats wat u get for rushing the work.

The reasons for the shooting stars and the Nebula...

As you might have known,the stars that we see every night, are merely lights reflected from the far distance planets or objects that is many light years away. In other words, they are so far that even at light speed they need to spend years to reach earth. So the light or star we see in the sky are reflected many years ago... some thousands of years and some up to millions of years ago.

All the star lights that dazzle u every night are actually lights from the past... in a way, it's a time machine that shows u images many many years ago. Therefore the perfect representation of our dance performance which is to celebrate its 30th Anniversary, looking back at what Ngee Ann Dance Group have done for the past 30 years.

And the shooting star is to represent the dancers' short-lived glorious moments on the stage that last merely for a few minutes compared to their years of training. However, I do believe in every dancer's heart, few minutes of glorious and cheers from the audience would have make up for all the hardship and pain they have to endure during their training.

Nice perf by SDT... Posted by Unknown , Wednesday, June 18, 2008 at 2:04 am, in

Went to watch SDT perf, Continuum, at esplanade last Sat. Nice... three Choreographers, three different style... dancers from different parts of the world... each displaying their uniqueness, showing off their passions in their dances.

I particularly enjoyed the last dance piece,Glow-Stop, during the perf . Choreograph by Jorma Elo. Even though there are some gitches, music stop playing after 10sec... the dancers are able to react appropriatelly. Most of us didnt even realise the music have technical issue, till they drop the curtain. After a couple of mins, they restarted the dance... and I dun see any complaint from the audiences. Nice job and nice audiences :) glad to be in this crowd... I guess ppl will start "boo-ing" already if its some place else.

The dance is around 16 mins, if he uses the full length of the music which is ard 16mins... its a pretty fast pace comtemporary dance... I guess thats why I like it, fast pace, steps I never seen b4 (refreshing)... very smooth flow... even though dancers are moving in and out of the stage, u dun feel distracted. Individual techniques are of coz pro... they are pro afterall... lol... The costume uses very bold colour,RED, match with dim dark background and a strong light beam shining down from the corner... just like lights from the other side of the cave type of feel.

I tot the dancers will wear something darker to match the setting, however using red created an interesting combination... really brings out the dancers. I especially likes the lightnings and the choice of music ... their dance steps harmonize with the music beat for beat, rhythm for rhythm. Producing a very smooth and beautiful transition in between scenes, and I can feel the chemistry among dancers, their tight collaboration and precision carried out to pave way for the next movement by other dancers.

All in all, the dancers created an intimate bond with the audiences leaving them breathless and in awe.




Why this particular music out of so many dance pieces is posted here...
Ans: Coz I like it...

Scientists Invent Machine to Suck CO2 & Fight Global Warming Posted by Unknown , Monday, June 09, 2008 at 9:31 pm, in

Wooohoooo! Finally someone is inventing something tat is useful for the environment! A CO2 vacuum cleaner that promise to suck out the excess CO2 in our overly polluted atmosphere!
Take a look at the link below:

Now if only they noe wat to do with the collected CO2 ?

The looks of TowKay Posted by Unknown , Saturday, June 07, 2008 at 6:31 pm, in

Was hanging ard ps when a middle age guy approaches me. He told me I have very nice face feature, features a towkay have. Fucking hell,is he trying to sianz me or something like that. Then he ask me whether i wan to have my fortune told. Siao bo... have my fortune told in the middle of nowhere... in front of so many ppl... I would have prefer it in front of the temple or somewhere more holy... not in front of PS... plus he has a sneaky looks... 贼头贼脑. Lol, I guess I can face read ppl as well.

Anyway out of curosity,a quick search online shows what a typical businessman should look like...:

Water Face
The water face is rounded, wider in the middle and rounded at both the top and bottom. In Mian Xiang, wide faces belong to people who are intellectually quicker, usually also wittier, and definitely better at making money. (check out your neighbourhood millionaire – chances are he’s got a wide face).

Water is associated with intelligence, diplomacy, adaptability and relationship. They also have strong business acumen and can take advantage of opportunities that come along.

Water face people are most suited to jobs that require interaction such as public relations officers, sales professionals etc. Or they can be good businessmen.

One weakness of water face people is the tendency to take too long to make decisions and others may view them to be slow. Another weakness of water face people is food and we know what too much good food can do to us!



Lol... And I guess this is how I look like in the eyes of a fortune teller.
