Sports & Runs

Am I crazy?

I hate to say this, but personally I find myself super addicted to exercise. Not to mention often missing the feeling of fatigue during my regimes... an adrenaline addiction? Maybe because of this, I see myself for the past 2 months running at least 9km (usually topping 12km) 3 times a week on monday, wednesday & friday...

The power of dreams

I just have to get this on my blog, its just so.. real... I had a weird dream on friday, not like your average nightmare, but something worth marvelling about. Its a about meeting this girl by the name of Sherwin or Sherene or sort. I was enrolled in Singapore Poly, DME (diploma on mechcanical engineering), a...

Makan Singapore!

There is a new additional section to the site, called SG happening - Makan places in Singapore. This is a soft opening of the section, which is still under construction. I am still in the mist of compiling the full food list at the moment. In the meantime, if you have any good places to recommend around...

Die comment spammers!

Add a niffy new plug-in to the blog today, namely an additonal field which requires people to enter a security code (from a randomly generated graphic) in order to successfully post a comment. Something any average net surfer can do, but not spam-bots. Though I personally hate filling out such unnecessary code-like-thingys even before I could get...

Singnet boardband 256kps unlimited is now 512kps?

Hey if you are a previous singnet boardband 256kps user, you may notice download speeds going up to 50-60KB/s from 20-30KB/s. Possibly a typical computer reporting error? I don't think so, especially with my downloads getting relatively faster. Not to mention surfing speeds. Strangely though this is not reflected to the public or so, as singtel always...

Gleeming license plate?

Found this interesting product on while surfing one day. This is definitely not legal, especially in the Singapore context where everything including the very cars we drive are all restricted in terms of upgrades, modifications & so. Not only a stock car city but a "fine" city as well. Not to mention is heavy contributions from us citizens...

Hot hot hot

On the weatherwatch, yes it had been a very hot period in Singapore this month, not to mention the number of bushfires around to keep our friendly firefighters & tax expenditure busy for the time being. I used to hate the effects of el nino, though I am not sure of its part & its eminent effects...

pleasure pressure?

Reading from today's Straits Times main, an article in the kaleidoscope. A particular interesting quote made by Mr Md Islam (a foreign worker from bangladesh working here) saying. "In my country, people read or travel for pleasure. Here, it seems, we all work for pleasure." Personally I think its bad. & I guess you don't need Steven...

In memory of Uncle Loke

Its a dark & gloomy night & when we least expected it, a phone call came around 9pm informing dad that Uncle Loke was warded in coma at Chanji hospital due to a fall at the chinese swimming club- where he was spending the sunday night. Dad rushed to the hospital immediately thereafter. Another call came from...

OMG the power of piak piak

Enjoyed a leisure game of counter-strike source last week & man do online play do seem rather "uncompetitive" these days. Namely because of some overly powerful gun or superpower entities. For the eye candy here I am to share some of the rather interesting experiences, such as the invincible cupboards in de_prodigy & the power of the...
