Stockholm Syndrome

Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response sometimes seen in an abducted hostage, in which the hostage can show signs of having feelings of loyalty to the hostage-taker, regardless of the danger (or at least risk) in which the hostage has been placed.  The syndrome is named after the Norrmalmstorg robbery of Kreditbanken at Norrmalmstorg, Stockholm, […]

Que Sera Sera

This song kept playing in my mind today – Que Sera Sera… especially the chorus: Que Sera, Sera,Whatever will be, will beThe future’s not ours, to seeQue Sera, SeraWhat will be, will be. While at Eon Canteen, boss said my MSN chat windows are very distracting… apparently he gets distracted by them.  Strange.  Perhaps i’ve […]

Grey

I did sms HD in the end.  Asked him if he wanted to watch Spidey 3 with the gang, and told him that Mr. Abandoned and Big Ass Tim pissed me off by insisting that i check with him. HD’s reply was a “no thank you!”.  I responded by asking if he wanted to watch […]

Ugly is the New Beautiful

Did anyone watch Miss Universe Singapore on tv just now?  Azure was right when she told me there’s a comedy on tv tonight… The gals had no poise, they couldn’t catwalk, and what’s with the ugly gums?  Most of them had the Julia Roberts smile… but without the twinkle in the eye.  Sigh. Did u […]

Mega Moping

Was really moping about the office today.  As Genma rightly pointed out, i managed to cover 1001 analyses of the situation.  Amazing.  Sigh.  I’m trying very hard not to think too much now… just focus on the tasks at hand, clear my backlog, and try to survive my very first biz trip (ever) to Manila in […]

Without Hope or Agenda

Having studied Literature before, i am fond of dissecting sentences and exploring what they really mean. I like the statement “without hope or agenda” from the movie Love Actually because it’s such a simple sentence but yet it speaks volumes. To have no hope means to have no future because as long as there’s a […]

Home Sweet Home

Back in Singapore.  Ho Chi Minh was nice… crazy traffic, great service standards, horrible weather… list goes on.  Will have to save photos and details for another night.  Tired now… sick too (cold, bad bad sore throat)… and i need to work tomorrow. A lot of things on my mind now… a problematic case that […]

Saigon Saigon!

1:05pm.  Handphone rings. Me: Yes Boss? Boss: Hey, i’m doing the binding process for XXXX client.  Anything else that needs to be done? Me: That should be all boss.  The new UT deal will be next week… DB can ring the underwriter tonight if need be? Boss: Don’t forget the Terrorism Cover for Pakistan… but […]

N95

Check out this brillant new model from Nokia man!!  WOOHOO!  Was just leaving my seat to buy it when my friend told me it costs $1288.  *Faints*.  But the specs are good lor!  5MP camera… GPS… 160MB internal memory… ————————————– Chope chope!  Just did a check at singtelshop.com… it’s going for $1148!  (Not that i’ll […]

The Crying Game

Just saw The Crying Game at Birdland just now.  Weird movie.  Don’t understand how one can lump the IRA (as in Irish Republican Army… not to be confused with IRAS… i know it’s tax filing time!) with a romance between a soldier, a tranvestite, and a IRA volunteer, who loves the tranvestite, but cannot accept […]
