I Screwed Up...

I screwed up not once, but TWICE in the space of 2days!!

1st incident : I un-intentionally stepped on a close friend of mine's tail. I'd hereby like to offer my apologies to that person involved. I didn't mean to do that to you. I guess I lost it...

2nd incident : Was supposed to meet-up with another close friend for drinks on Xmas Eve. However, at 'the last moment', I feel like going for BC, of which I told her. She told me she'd go there alone first and I'm to meet up with her once I'm done. To be honest, I do not like the idea of her being there alone waiting for me. Perhaps I'm being MCPish here but knowing how the pubbing environment can be like, I somehow just do not like the idea of a lady-friend of mine drinking there alone, let alone a close lady-friend! Anyway, I told her I'd decide whether if I'm going to join her after gym. Besides, knowing Hero's condition and the potential absence of my sis due to them going to Xmas Eve Mass. In such a case, I would definitely be activated for 'duty'. Not wanting to surprise her with an aeroplane at the very last minute, I pre-empted her about it. She got extremely pissed thinking that I had other programs which I would very much loved to attend and thus tried to think of 'excuses' to reject her. I don't really blamed her for this. Anyway, I didn't explain things to her too because I do not wish to be seen as giving excuses. I ended up not being activated and thus went down to the pub at about 10pm but didn't see her there....

Thinking back on these 2 incidents, perhaps I could have better handled them..... What a Xmas for me :( Hope it can get better next year.

The Lost Room


Anyone out there had seen The Lost Room? I copied it from a colleague of mine for the sake of copying and left it lying there in my HDD. Last weekend, I was extremely bored as I've gotta take care of Hero and that's how I ended up watching the 1st episode of this 3 episode mini-series by the Sci-Fi Channel.

This show is about how a once typical room at a 1960s motel along U.S. Route 66, having been the site of "the Event", the Room now exists outside of normal time and space. The show's protagonist, Joe Miller, is searching for these objects to rescue his daughter, Anna, who has disappeared inside the Room. Hundreds of everyday objects such as key, specs, pen, etc attained special powers as a result of "the Event".

I was hooked on the show after finishing the 1st episode. By 11pm the same day, I couldn't resist the urge further and started on the 2nd episode. I followed that with the 3rd and final episode, finally finishing the entire series at about 4am and went to work with barely 3hrs' sleep! You can imagine how hooking the show was to me to cause me to want to lose sleep over it. After completion, I still keep thinking about it such as which object would I love to have and how would I use it :p

For sure, I'd love to have the "Key". Imagine being able to have Tim Sum in Hong Kong at 9am before being back at my desk at 930am to continue doing work as usual. Spaghetti for lunch along the Grand Canal in Venice, back in the office by 2pm. After work, pop over to Taipei's Shilin Night Market for a walk and grab a bite of the XXL Chicken Chop. I did consider how and what would I do with the pen... come to think of it, having the pen and using it is akin to murder. So I guess I'd just keep it from anyone's hands.

I was telling Mich about it but she only knows how to pour cold H2O... GRrrrrrrrr

Underground Nuclear Power Plant??

Check this out!!

I can't imagine next time 1 power station is enough to power the entire CCK or AMK for 40yrs at a stretch. No doubt they will bury it, but I cant imagine the implications if an accident were to ever occur.

SG is not very big to being with, even if studies shown that you can build deep underground and the earth would be able to contain the fallout, but can you ever be sure? Have you even purposely engineered a fallout accident to test the 'insulation'? Relying on data models is as good as guess-work!! Besides, even if you managed to contain the site, how else are you going to build another reactor nearby the failed one? Won't it also means with the potential health hazards of staying near a reactor, the property prices is likely to be low, very low.... ?

Hope NEA, PUB, etc will be able to turn to other cleaner source of fuels...

Aother Feeling of Nostalgia....

Thanks to a YouTube Video posted by MF, I'm all nostalgic again....





周杰伦-说好的幸福呢
词:方文山曲:周杰伦

你的绘画凌乱著
在这个时刻
我想起喷泉旁的白鸽
甜蜜散落了

情绪莫名的拉扯
我还爱你呢
而你断断续续唱著歌
假装没事了

时间过了走了
爱情面临选择
你冷了倦了我哭了
离开时的不快乐
你用卡片手写著
有些爱只给到这真的痛了

怎么了你累了说好的幸福呢
我懂了不说了爱淡了梦远了
开心与不开心一一细数著你在不舍
那些爱过的感觉都太深刻
我都还记得

你不等了说好的幸福呢
我错了泪干了放手了后悔了
只是回忆的音乐盒还旋转著
要怎么停呢

怎么了你累了
说好的幸福呢
我懂了不说了
爱淡了梦远了
我都还记得


Those of you who know me well enough to know what I've been thru recently would be able to understand why I posted this song....
