Happy Tune = Happy Times

With so sooooo many thanks to my secret friend (sorry I can't disclose who! but you know who you are. ;)), I managed to get the theme music for So Simple Goodies! *whoohoo*

You know some songs just stick in your head, then makes their trip down to your heart, warm it up, make your blood runs a bit slower while assuring you can take on whatever that comes your way, make you feel so relax at the same time, lift your spirits up and being totally happy about your overall wellness? (Make any sense? haha..) Well, for me apparently, the So Simple Goodies theme music does just that. *xinfu*

The office hours just got a lot more bearable, the MRT crowd just got a lot less irritating, and all my worries and stress just got a lot less. :D Generally speaking, bad things/feelings go down, good and happy times go up. *yippee*

Now I just gotta find some time to convert it to be my phone's ringtone, sms tone, alarm music, door bell tune... :P

Music therapy someone? ;)

Lose Your Camera Tripod Today!

If you're a photographer (hobbyist or professional), you're bound to be sick of carrying your tripod around, setting it up for 3 minutes just for the perfect angle (for just a single shot mind you), before keeping it again and moving on. :S

If you don't like to be burdened with a tripod and insist on shooting without it, you'll instead be plagued with all types of blur shots (horizontal, vertical, diagonal, you name it). :/

I'm glad to come across this great DIY method to create an image stabilizer for any camera. Although it doesn't look pretty, it sure does look to be useful and handy. Considering the weight difference, you know what I mean. Hope you will enjoy your many tripod-free days to come! :D

Something Is Wrong

Something is wrong,
when you wait for 7 days,
which is 168 hours,
or 10080 minutes,
just to see someone for 30 minutes.

Something is wrong,
when before seeing that someone,
anticipation grips you by the second,
keeps you watching the time every minute,
with the thought hardly going away.

Something is wrong,
when you finally see what you so yearn for,
keeps you smiling every single moment,
makes you happy,
with that tinge of sweetness in your heart.

Something is wrong,
when after the 30 minutes ended,
you feel all this waiting,
all this anticipation,
and every single moment of it,
is totally worthwhile.

Something is seriously wrong,
and oh how I love and dread this feeling.

:P

A Birthday Cake, Song, And Wish

A birthday cake, a birthday song, a birthday wish. These elements were missing from my birthday this year. Strangely though, I did not feel anything in particular was missing.

I'm not too sure how the general folks out there feel about such things? Do you feel that they are necessary/important? Well for me, I had the general thought that they were not of much importance, which probably gave way to a better understanding of why I did not feel much without them.

Well, not until my friends in my church's choir, Praislight, celebrated my birthday for me today. :D

As usual, I was leaving home after practice when Clara called, and asked me to head to the food court beside our church to discuss something. I thought it might have something to do with our Good Friday performance, so I U-turned my way back to meet them.

Who knows that not long after I sat down, Sister Girlie, the worship leader of our church, brought a cake for me!! *ecstatic*

The setting was in the food court (not the best of places), and all of them were rushing to finish their dinner (not the best time either) because they have to prepare and serve God in the Miracle Service in an hour or so. After positioning and lighting the candles up, they sang me a birthday song and I was sooooo utterly touched. T_T (You know.. food court leh! So many people watching! And they still sang like nobody's business! :D)

My cake!!

Momentarily, the candles' light engulfed my vision and stole everything from my sight. It was like the most beautiful thing I've seen. :P Meanwhile their angelic voices resonated and having their way with my eardrums, and it was as if I was transported to another realm altogether. It certainly wasn't the best place, and it wasn't the best time either, but what I felt was certainly the best. I have no idea how else I can describe it any other way. :P

I finally had a chance to say my birthday wish as well. ;)

Deeply touched by their kind gestures, I can find no words to describe what those meant to me. I want to thank God so nmuch for this beautiful arragement, where they had managed to change my former perspectives about these simple blessings and actions. *touched*

To know you guys have been my privilege and a blessing from God. Thank you all, and I'm so fortunate to be serving our Lord and Saviour with all of you. :)

Helping Hands: Monkey College

Saw this heartwarming video this morning, and I'm so prompted to write something about it. In the right context, such as this, animals are really a great companion and help to us. Most of the times though unaware of what exactly they're doing, they faithfully obey our instructions, and the resultant service they render becomes a huge aid to us.

Think about dogs that guides the blind, other assortment of household pets that heal people's loneliness or psychiatric disorder from their constant companionship, the joy that they can bring to you is endless.

This organisation, Helping Hands, is a college that trains monkeys to help the disabled. I find it very heartwarming (and cute of course), and I hope to pass it on. :)

My N95 Can Do That?!

Oh gosh this company, A2JSoft, has done something so revolutionary to mobile phones *sayanging my N95*, that you're not going to believe what you're about to witness. :D



Are you thinking what I'm thinking?




That's a freaking Wii we have here! :D

Actor Heath Ledger Dead

Slightly depressing news today, but please bear with me. The news that actor Heath Ledger being found dead shook me this morning via an overseas friend.

Heath Ledger, from the "Brokeback Mountain" fame, acts in a couple of very well known movies, including one of my favourites, "The Patriot". In the new series of Batman, acted by Christian Bale, Heath acts as the psychotic bank robber known as The Joker in the upcoming "The Dark Knight". I love the new series of Batman and had been anticipating this movie since two years ago. To know that Heath gave his final performance in this movie, it kinda saddens me even more. :(

I got reminded too, of my post "An Awakening Nightmare". The reality that life is so fragile and delicate hits me again. Life IS a fleeting moment, please don't take it for granted.

Live your life to the fullest everyday, give thanks to people who have helped you in every single way, forgive people who trespass against you, remember to do good and be kind to all the people around you, and if you made a promise to someone, fulfill it today.

What if tomorrow never comes?

Life's Simple Blessings

Waaaaaaaaaaaa!~~!!!~!~~!!!!

I so love 简单就是美2!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ Just finished watching the first episode and I feel so relax now! Whole day's worth of work tension and stress just dissipated into nothingness~~ Must be my endorphins laaaaaaaa~!!! Acting up and working doubly hard! *whoohoo*

The notion of going for such a tour, like Peifen's, wells up... *dreams*

I can relax myself, loosen up my shoulders and swing them without any cares, slow my steps down and appreciate the surroundings, take a good breath of fresh air to invigorate my senses, then lie down on thick carpet-like grass, let the warm sunset's light grace upon my face, and the cool breeze will blow away all kinds of thoughts and troubles, leaving just a, so simple me.

How wonderful is life's simple blessings. :)

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

I don't really know how to start! :D Firstly, the thought that I'm 24 makes me feel old, because contrastingly enough, I feel young. I don't exactly know what to feel. Is that a sign of getting old? :S

Anyway after work I met up with my godmom, kamee, and uncle dan, and they brought me to this "secret alley" in Potong Pasir with VERY GOOD FOOD! *slurp*

We sat at table "57"... the person really don't know how to paint la... :D

This was only one of the 3 dishes that we ordered. The fish soup was super nice and authentic! An ultimate delicacy! I'm still drooling so late into the night by just thinking about it. haha.. Unfortunately, because I was too hungry by the time the other 2 dishes came, I couldn't be bothered to take photos. :P But just for records, they were kangkong (wa... the sambal chilli!!!) and tofu and prawns in chilli-crab-style sauce! Are you drooling?? :P~~~

We had such a filled dinner that I had difficulty walking around (not to mention my sprained leg. haha..)!! Thereafter, we went to kamee's place and, though not convenient to disclose where I got these, I managed to play with computer chips (flash memory to be exact)! haha...

Look at how small they are! Oh gosh!

Curious, I tried to fit as many as I can on the tip segment of my middle finger, and wanna guess how much I managed to balance? :D

A whooping 14!! haha...

Today had been a great great day, and I really want to thank all the people who sent me your well wishes, which had touched different corners of my heart and made me feel so blest. :)

This is going to be a great year. I know it. ;)

SingNet Broadband Connectivity Improved?

Well at least for me, it improved slightly. :D

I used to have friends who were SingNet broadband subscribers telling me that my geek blog is not really accessible, either it loads too long or doesn't even load at all. :S These aided to confirm what I felt too because I'm a SingNet broadband subscriber myself.

Today however, I'm pretty delighted to find out that it loads well, and the connectivity was much smoother! :D

If you're a SingNet broadband subscriber, and have difficulty loading my geek blog, could you kindly leave a comment and let me know? If the problem still persist I'll have to write a customer support email to Singtel and ask their tech team to check things out, because apparently, Starhub had no such hiccups (I know because I tried. hehe..).

Thanks in advance!

Optimus Maximus

Doesn't the title of this post leads you into believing that this post has something to do with Transformers? :P The successor of Optimus Prime maybe? :D

Anyway, Optimus Maximus is the name of the latest high-end keyboard (not the music kind of course, but something you type your emails with). :D It's so high-tech I feel I'm NOT going to get one. haha..

High-Tech = A LOT OF MONEY! *istroke*

But well, for those with a lot of money, check out the video below for a quick rundown and demo of this latest toy before you buy one on impulse. ;) For the rest of us folks, it's drool time! :P~~~~~~

Hello Peeps!

I'm waving I'm waving! haha.. It's 18 days into 2008 and I'm making my first blog post for the new year! Darn! Am I late or what? :D

Thanks to the constant "nagging" of my dear granddaughter, I've finally decided to write an update post of sorts. hehe.. So here goes!

How did I usher in the new year? Ermz.. ermz... (thinking hard) I think I was actually writing a post about the things that had happened for 2007! It remained in my drafts and I dint want to publish it because it felt pretty rough. Some more no time to polish up lor. :P I was also writing another post that has my new year's resolutions, and guess what? It's (also!) still in my drafts! :P

Pardon me la, but working life and church commitments have taken a huge part of my life. Should I be thankful that I don't have a girlfriend now? Seriously think she'll feel neglected from the lack of attention leh. Tsk tsk tsk.. :(

Anyway, in the following days, I hope to be able to repost some of these late posts up. They're not old news to me, so I hope you won't find them irrelevant either. haha.. Till next post hor? :P
