Dance like no one's watching

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Mr. Abandoned was right after all.  I AM territorial!  Iceman met up with Alt-S in Shanghai… a gal whom before he left, he was cursing and swearing about not wanting to see her ever again. One night in Shanghai and his attitude spun 180deg.  I kept asking Iceman if he’s interested in her (‘cos we were teasing […]

I had a happy Monday… which was rather unexpected ‘cos i thought i would have a “long weekend” hangover. Had my first dose of hou happiness during coffee break with HD in the morning, then met Green Apple for lunch for a booster hou happy dose… and finally… heeheehee… the last hou happy dose… which […]

Sigh… the long weekend is drawing to an end.  Kind of sad… it was a good weekend mostly.  I say mostly because 2 things marred my weekend.  Although they’re not very major incidents but they surfaced once in a while and are like a blemish on an otherwise porcelain smooth skin. First incident was at […]

I have lagged, once again.  During the sermon today, the speaker spoke about how Christian scholars have overturned the Discovery Channel’s documentary on having found the tomb of Jesus (together with his alleged wife, kid, etc) earlier this year.  But the tomb was discovered in 1980 and a BBC documentary has been made on it […]

In tort law, there is a very famous “neighbour” principle, established by Lord Atkin in the final hearing of the Donoghue v. Stevenson [1932] (aka the case of “The Snail in the Gingerbeer Bottle”), used in establishing a breach in the duty of care. In his judgment, Lord Atkin said: “The rule that you are to love your neighbour becomes in […]

My parents have a quirky sense of humour.  Drove home one night last week to find this. My dad said it’s to let me know when to stop the car.  I told him, “Aiyoh.  I’ve been driving and parking at that spot for the past 6 years.  If i was going to crash into the […]
