I can understand there are people out there who are afraid of dogs. Bigger dogs yes, but, a Shih Tzu?! They’ve gotta be kidding me!

Finally managed to catch The Hurt Locker. I’m not a movie critic, I have little idea what makes an academy award winning show, but I definitely agree it is a very captivating show.
The short story-telling style reminded me of Full Metal Jacket. The sniper standoff bit reminded me of Enemy at the Gates, then everything else reminded me of Rules of Engagement and Black Hawk Down.
Whatever show it has reminded me of, I was for sure angry and upset, the same feeling I got every time after watching war movie.
A car owner’s IQ level does not usually commensurate with the horsepower of his car – more often than not, horsepower wins!
Two things I’ve learnt after watching The Blind Side:
For that matter, I’m telling Monica to start keeping a lookout for homeless kid. Especially one who plays ball…
Thanks to Oscar nominations (best picture and best actress), otherwise I would have missed the good movie.
I thought I should announce it much later, but I’m just too excited I can’t contain my excitement. So here it is, please visit the blog I set up for my baby who’s yet to come: http://october20.org.
Back in 2004, shortly before I started my freelance journey, I was at the lowest point of my life (and I bet it was!) I had to throw in the white towel for what I was doing at that moment, and decided to “get a job”.
I saw the hiring ad in the classified, a 2-month contract position for a webmaster, To me, it was already a gazillion times better than working in 7-11 (I’ll tell you this other story in another seating.) So I sent in my resume.
I’m just in the mood for blogging.
I dropped by the neighborhood police post in Bukit Batok to update the address on my ID (yea I moved to Bukit Batok).
While the officer was processing my request, an uncle walked in to report his bicycle got stolen. The officer asked how did it happen. That uncle said he left his bicycle in front of his mother’s house, unlock, while picking up dinner, for “just” half an hour.
Then the officer asked if he has any receipt. Uncle said no, he bought the bike long time already. Then the officer asked if he can describe the model of the bike. Uncle gave him a blank look. Then the officer asked him to wait as he was halfway attending my request.
Then a young lady walked in to report her stolen backpack, that has a laptop, and two books that were borrowed from the library. Obviously a standard response, the officer asked how did it happen. The lady said she left it on the table in McDonald’s, then walked to the counter to order her dinner. When she came back later, the bag was gone. Again, the officer ask if she has the receipt. She said: should be. The officer told her to wait her turn.
Then my ID is fixed, and I managed to walk out from the police post without bursting into hysterical laugher.
What an interesting encounter of inDUHviduals.

I am now happily engaged (to Monica Wong), employed (by Dean Loh & Associates), and am in the midst of building up my next Internet business (codenamed: TanTab). That means I have very little (if not no) time for blogging. If you missed me, you can follow me on my Twitter.
