Who am I?
Hello everybody.
You have just chanced upon a personal website of an extremely
useless person in this not-so-forgiving world. Born and
grew up in Sillypore (a.k.a Singapore, the "fine"city)
or the land of expensive beer, this person had went through
an "ok" teenhood who was only bothered with
doing 3 tutorials before the lesson and completing twenty
years (yes, 20 YEARS) of past
year exam papers for the Cambridge O-Level and A-Level
examinations (Secondary and High School examination).
After my
national service, I got into the local university and
got obessed with getting my honours. Uni life was almost
rosy (I started a relationship with her after the Myanmar
trip), just memorise all the lecture notes and copy all
your tutorials (with understanding) from nerdy friends.
Complete all past year papers and pray hard. Do not take
spicy food before any examinations. Watch as much English
Premeirship highlights as well. Without much hiccups,
I graduated with a honours degree in "What did u
learn" Engineering, receiving my degree on 11 September
2003. Do not ask me why I took this up as my major.
Thus, I
went through the machine-like education system and got
fairly average grades (mostly Bs), it enabled me to secure
a executive-level job in the civil aviation industry.
Though I don't like to work (who does?!), I'm actually
into an industry that is closely related to my not-so-many
interests (e.g. travelling). This
keeps me going. I suppose I also don't mind working in
the local Coca-Cola factory or any beer brewery, as these
are also the drinks of MY generation.

Just in
case you are bored and totally uninterested in this on-the-dole
citizen, place the mouse cursor
on my photo (used in my current resume). The alternate
picture was used in the version 1.0 of my resume. I sent
it to 50 companies and no one called me for an interview.
After I changed it to my current photo, I got a job offer
within a week. It is amazing on how this world appreciate
looks and appearances.

My
interests and fettishes (!)
Relax... This
is not a website on my "weird" sexual orientation
(attempting to throw in more confusion). Neither will I
include a a picture of me in curly hair and showing suggestive
pictures of me sitting cross-legged. Not to say that it
will even interest anyone, the title is there merely to
capture any remaining attention left (if there is).
As a skinny
yellow-skin boy, I do not have much interests except in
travelling, beer, coke, phad thai, thai beef noodles, instant
noodles, bloody slimy cockles, watching WWE (I always have
a fantasy of pouring beer on my head just like Stone Cold
Steve Austin), enjoying it when FC Barcelona defeats Real
Madrid, listening to Beatles, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell,
David Bowie, Velvet Underground and The Doors.
I kick ass,
and I have a big cannon. |

So,
why this Bloggish website?
I am not god
and certainly not trying to play one. The purpose of this
website is just to share some of my views of this "pretty
strange" world with the web community. Blogs are so
common currently and my aim is not to set up another one
of those all-too-similar blogs on the internet, though I
do not make a big fuss if you think it is.
I am obessed
with details. Will tend to include prices of food, beer,
coke and whatever I have paid for if I can remember them.
To be frank, this website also serves as a means of remembering
the different experiences of each trip. I used to write
them down in a small diary, but I realised after years of
selling my life to MS office, I can no longer write in a
handwriting that is readable even by myself. Such is the
human being depenenices on the computer. Scary indeed. |

What
does this website
contain?
If you observe
the layout of the website carefully, it contains pictures
and comments thought of in my various trips. Regardless
whether I travelled budget or conventional, the comments
were really the most truthful comments that I can come out
with. They may sound insulting sometimes but they really
meant no harm to anyone concerned. I am a "Buddhist"
and I believe in the concept of Karma. What goes around,
comes around. Though I have to admit that it is most difficult
to practise the art of not offending anybody, I try, but
I do fail miserably sometimes. My sincere apologies.
One section
contains my personal blog, or I call it "mental blogs".
It contains irritating comments on work, life and rubbish.
I like to talk in circles and hints, though you are always
welcomed to ignore me. Though I make it a point to update
it once a week. Dont get too worried if I don't: that will
probably mean I am either dead or simply can't with life.
You can also read some of my crappy poems, written under
the influence of alcohol and instant noodles. Or you can
keep track of the quantity of beer and coke I drink: a punishment
that i self-inflicted on my own so that I can at least attempt
to prevent my liver from being stir-fried by all that shit.
There is also
a page where it contains all my favourite photos that I
(or Bb my girlfriend) have taken. Though I am not a photography
expert, there are some photographs which I feel that I need
special mentioning to. Some pictures may have appeared in
the travel blogs so please bear with me.
It also contain
links to the various budget airlines in the reigon. I am
quite active in the Thorn Tree Forum, the travel forum in
the Lonely Planet
website. There are always questions on budget airlines,
so I always like to direct them to my website so that they
can access the links directly instead of me typing. I'm
getting old, you know. Though my advise is if you can afford
it, do take conventional airlines. Who knows, you may be
contributing to my year-end bonus as well. |

Last
but not least....
The author
of this website wishes that the words be read carefully
if one is interested. For he thinks that words are so much
MORE important than the pictures though
I suppose reading a long paragraph of me crapping about
something that is totally boring to oneself is really a
torture. I recall my C/C++ programming textbook when I was
in my first year of university.
Remember there
are 24 cans of beer in a carton, because there are 24 hours
in a day. Carry on popping the beer cans and drink. It cured
my ance problem anyway. Life is really too short to worry
about the price of beer. Isn't it?
Please feel
free to email me on any concerns you have with my websites,
information error or anything which you can't seem to agree
with. I got a gmail
account and can take Gigabytes of space.
Row row row
your boat, gently on a stream. Merrily merrily merrily merrily,
life but a dream.... |
