Goodbye Mrs

2010-10-04T00:20:00.002+08:00

The loving romance is now taken away by the natural process of life.

A time to mourn or a time to celebrate? Yes it is sad to part and definitely hard to let go but it's also a time to remember those happy memories that made life worth living for.

Jacuzzi Fun

I'm in the midst of planning a Halloween Party by the Jacuzzi with Janice and I can't help it but YouTube "Jacuzzi" YouTube.

This was what I found.

Fret not, nothing like this will happen at the party. And if you're thinking of Kawashima Makiyo to appear, think again.

Replacement

2010-09-10T02:52:00.002+08:00

Just pondering to myself today while walking back home. Is there really anything in my life which is irreplaceable after losing it? And then I thought to myself, "hmmmm how about money?" Maybe not, I figure because we can always earn back what we have lost. I then went through a list of ideas in my mind and concluded this: although to others many things like a favorite pillow or a collectible CD album maybe deemed as irreplaceable; however things like parents, true buddies, soul mate, experiences and time are things that are truly irreplaceable gems in our lifetime.

Have a good long weekend ahead of you!

An interesting note I saw on Facebook. Enjoy!

When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly.

She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?

I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company.

She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Jane so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.

The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Jane.

When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.

In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.

This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day.

She requested that every day for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.

I told Jane about my wife's divorce conditions. . She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.

My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mommy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside
the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me.

On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Jane about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.

She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.

Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.

Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mom out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.

But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy.

I drove to office.... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind...I walked upstairs. Jane opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Jane, I do not want the divorce anymore.

She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Jane, I said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other anymore. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart.

Jane seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away.

At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.

That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed - dead.
My wife had been fighting CANCER for months and I was so busy with Jane to even notice. She knew that she would die soon and she wanted to save me from the whatever negative reaction from our son, in case we push thru with the divorce.-- At least, in the eyes of our son--- I'm a loving husband....

The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!

If you don't share this, nothing will happen to you.

If you do, you just might save a marriage.
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

A CHRIST-CENTERED MARRIAGE IS A MARRIAGE THAT IS SURE TO LAST A LIFETIME.

So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate. Matthew 19:6.

Thank you God for putting great people in my life,
People that will encourage me and people that I been sent to help,
But I have enough of this world,
Enough of this shit,
So, clip my wings and let me fall,
I have no more shame in me anymore,
The deception has gotten into me,
Let your nemesis advocate whisper to me,
Until when your grace is needed,
Or when true love is felt,
I walk in the shadow where I first started.

So long friends.

Randy Pausch was given 3 to 6 months of good health left before he dies from pancreatic cancer. Not letting his sickness pull him down, Pausch inspired and encouraged people whenever he was asked to give his lecture. Here's a snippet of his lecture on the Oprah Show.

It's a GOOD thing if someone MOULDS you hard because it mean he/she cares. "When you're doing a BAD job and nobody points it out to you, that's when they've given up on you" - Randy Pausch (1960 - 2008).

God bless your soul Randy Pausch.

2010-07-27T12:26:00.002+08:00

Dog, a man's best friend. Not a sexist statement but a generic term of all the members of homo sapiens collectively, without regard to sex. How that phrase came about can somehow be linked to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, human needs are categorized into 5 parts - Physiological, Safety, Love/Belonging, Esteem and Self-actualization. In comparison to a dog, their level of expectations are not as high as humans. How dogs became good friends with humans goes way back into the books of history when man realized that dogs can be useful tools in their hunt for food.

FREE Flash

2010-07-22T14:28:00.003+08:00

Recently in Singapore there were a couple of flashes.

Okay... maybe not those kind of flashes. But I'm referring to the recent embarrassing flash flood at Orchard Road and many others.

Not surprising to many, a chance to mockery wasn't escaped from a renowned blogger Lee Kinmun, aka mrbrown, and his crew at podcast site mrbrownshow.com. Their parody of the song “Wavin’ Flag” by Somali-Canadian artiste K’naan, which was the official Coca Cola 2010 World Cup theme song has been making waves around emails and social networking websites. Making mockery at PUB for their inefficiency.

Enjoy the video! 'Ooooooh woooooooooh hohoho'.

Affection

2010-07-16T14:52:00.002+08:00

Affection, like one would describe is a 'disposition or state of mind or body that is associated with love'. Very often, when I'm asked questions about love, I never fail to bring up the mystery of the love between a mother and her child. Strangely a mother is always connected to her child, emotionally, physically and perhaps even spiritually. Some experts conclude that such phenomenon bonding are being cultivated during the 9 month pregnancy.

It is indeed true that a mother's love is unbreakable, steady as a rock and yet receptive. Though we may never understand or explain exactly how it works, we can accept the fact that love is like an invisible cord that connects one person to another. Some may say it's psychological and some may say it's a feeling sparked by fate. Well I believe it's all of the above.

Below are some of the videos that I have gathered for your viewing pleasures. Hope it will warm your senses like it did for me. =)

Car Rider Get Creative!

2010-07-13T04:06:00.000+08:00

I have always been a fan of public transports, long warm baths, gyming and a stroll in the park. It's the time where my creative level is at its peak and creative ideas just flows in like streaming water of the river.

I resumed driving 2 months back despite being off the road for some time after my GPS failed on me (lousy Samsung). Resuming the conveniences, I realized the joy of finding my ways around places apart from the usual hot spots in town and the east side where I live.

Technology these days are amazing. gothere.sg is just as good as a GPS without the mobility and voice announcements. So I will must say it has been my trusty buddy whenever possible.

Going back to creativity, I'm now a fan of driving, especially the same routes back home from my girl's place. My mind goes into a state where I most happy - especially finishing my day with her - and also a great time where my mind goes into a nice creativity mode, sometimes I speak to God and a moment where I think about anything and everything (usually happy stuff, even more so since this month has been the sweetest).

Below are 8 useful tips that I have found to have worked well for me that helped me in my creativity!

1) Get into the habit of staying in touch with your spirit and aligning your spirit with God. I believe that creativity is inherently human, our creativity comes from God whose primary trait is creativity. That's why He created YOU!

2) Separate the creative process from the creative tools. As a mentalist (psychological illusionist), it requires me to be creative, my best work is created with non-magical items, not magic items.

3) Type about your creative thoughts on an e-notepad, it's mobile and most mobile phones should have that application - alternatively you can use a traditional notepad. Even if your creative activity is not writing/typing, this can be very helpful if you get interrupted so you can pick up where you left off when you return to your work. This will do two things for you: when you are focused on one project and ideas for another one pop up, you can write those ideas down and continue focusing on your current project; and of course, things you write down when you don’t have time to be creative will give you ideas when you do have time. This happens most of the time using my Quiet Time (self Bible study).

4) Decide what you want to do before determining how to do it or if it is possible. Then, find a way. Work backwards in another words.

5) Allow ideas to flow without judgment: brainstorm or simply do what I do, 'MIND ROPING'. Like I was shared with my babe - Mind Roping is a technique that allows a person to brainstorm effectively. It was something I came up with not too long ago and it's similar to Edward De Bono's Mind Map. Don't worry if what you wrote doesn't make any sense. Often times, what seems to be the most absurd idea turns out to be the most incredible. The best engineers, inventors, artists and magicians create things that no one else had considered feasible. Take a look at the Wright Brothers. =)

6) Let yourself fail. Sometimes you don’t know how something is going to turn out until you create it. Failed attempts are valuable learning experiences, plus you learn better from it!

7) Observe the creations of others. If you want to be a better writer, read more than you write. If you want to design websites, study the designs of others’ websites. These are the mentors we should look out for plus they're worth the inspiration!

8) Whenever you can, take moments to breath, clear your head and recenter yourself spiritually. Traveling, gyming and taking short walks are just some of the ways that works very well for me - discover what works well for you. Whenever you start or return to your work, take a deep, slow breath, ask for God’s guidance and start working with a clear and serene mind.

I hope all that will help boost your creativity level this week. Have a great week ahead of you!

World Cup is over! Germany is 3rd, but it's all good. Spain, I must say they did play very well, better than I expected and they deserve the title (why do I sense someone smiling? Neh neh!) . I'm going to adopt an Octopus next season and call it Supotco the Psychic Octopus.

Paul The Wet Pussy

2010-07-08T16:21:00.004+08:00

Paul is a psychic octopus with an eye for soccer, especially for World Cup. I was skeptical myself, until the match result this morning.

It's scary that animals are predicting soccer matches. In fact everyone around me is turning psychic; people at church, my mum, my dad, my buddies and even my girlfriend (which is by the way making her very happy). I'm so going to lose my job as a mentalist haha. I have for you below the video of the pore sucking tentacles creature as it makes its soccer prediction, enjoy! =)

Although there are no experts on psychic mollusks around to comment on whether or not Paul's incorrect predictions have to be cosmically balanced out according to some mystic cephalopod ESP force, it can safely be said that, yes, Germany has some reason to hope.

Tattooed To Our Chest

2010-07-06T11:28:00.002+08:00

God, grant us the...
Serenity to accept things we cannot change,
Courage to change the things we can, and the
Wisdom to know the difference
Patience for the things that take time
Appreciation for all that we have, and
Tolerance for those with different struggles
Freedom to live beyond the limitations of our past ways, the
Ability to feel your love for us and our love for each other and the
Strength to get up and try again even when we feel it is hopeless.
- Serenity Prayer (extended), originally from theologian Reinhold Niebuhr

Inner Hitler

2010-07-04T09:53:00.004+08:00

Hello peepz! I'm back from a long week of ICT (In-Camp Training) and I must say it was quite an enjoyable one despite a handful of factors like the stay-in-part-which-everyone-dreads. Army is indeed fun-filled place with my buddies Cyril and Toon around - you guys rock.

During my 1 week stay over at the training centre I observed signs of propaganda, manipulation and deception. In any case, 1 sign of poor execution of such techniques can be identified when picked up by people who don't study in depth on such topics.

Like the conversation I had with Benny weeks ago, he mentioned that an expert in such techniques wouldn't be an expert in them when people know that they're using it. Which is why me and Benny are in the midst of collaborating a course which enables people to safeguard themselves against such techniques and excel in their workplace with the skills that they will learn in the course (www.magicATOM.com/learn.html).

It's going to be a busy week ahead starting from Monday. And I'm so glad that I get to sleep on my comfy bed and see my sweetheart any other day.

Have a good week mate!

Hitler would probably make a great Christian under the radar

Domino Effect

2010-06-27T23:30:00.009+08:00

Though many may say that we live in a dog eat dog society, there is always a bitten dog alive to tell the tail (tale) especially when we're living in Singapore.

Got a surprise call from Sean, a secondary school senior, just as I got back home. It was a normal conversation about soccer and he asked if I wanted to hang out to watch the match this Wednesday (Spain V Portugal) and stuff... until when we started talking about some old school stuff which I then roped in the conversation I had with Joce during day.

I exclaimed in shocked after having to hear what was being mentioned. How can anyone be so cunning and devious but yet act like an angel? That is such a tough job. I'm so not looking forward to ICT this week after hearing this bit of information from Sean but I'm definitely looking forward to meet up with Sean to know MORE.

Like a domino art, I must be thankful for one thing in life and that's the friends I have, people and everything else that comes in the right time at the right place. I'm indeed grateful and delighted to receive such a miracle and affirmation of God (Romans 8:31, "If God is for us, who can be against us?"). =)

And like for every problem, there's a solution. And it will be solved when I'm out from ICT! For now I'm just going to stay cool and see how far the situation can stretch before I until into Hulk.

Evil-doer I have God on my side. Do you? *smirk*

Power Up

2010-06-17T01:55:00.002+08:00

It feels damn amazing to know what I want to do with my life. Each day accomplishing what I need to do makes me feel I'm closer to my goals. With so many things to do in life, with so little time and the lack of sleep makes me feel sometimes that I need to clone myself. Maybe I should, but somehow the world is a little too small for 2 Alvins.

A friend of mine asked me 2 nights back how I stay so motivated and focus. "Simple", I said. Like most leaders, I'm too busy thinking how I can move forward and excel to even notice or bother about small little things that will distract me.

Here's a quote I found while reading an online forum awhile back, "Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future". It's important to realize that the past serves as a prologue for the future and a reminded of who you were, of who you are. and a grapple to present terrors, atrocities, and crises. Basically, the past is a tool for understanding the present and for envisioning the future. Which comes to my favorite often used quote, "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail".

So what happens if you're not as strong as me or the other accomplished leaders out there? You wept and die? NO.

It's a growing process. No one starts out to be a leader, nobody is a leader until they mature. Just look at the human life cycle. When a baby is born, he/she is dependent on his/her parents for Maslow's hierarchy of needs, as the baby turns into a child he/she realizes the need to be independent and he/she learns how to satisfy those needs through whatever methods. Well, sadly no everyone makes it up to the top of the mountain, but once you do, once you gain mastery over your life (which I hope you do) you open up the true freedom of life and amazing quality of living. This will accelerate your life and change you forever.

I wish all my readers all the best and may you gain satisfaction that you desire in the shortest time possible. :)

Woke up this morning with this song in my head. Such upbeat songs never fail to motivate me (more so in the gym).

Do you agree with me that we are in control of our destiny and not bound to feel what's set for you? With total control of the steering wheel of life, you can decide which path you want to lead and to make dynamic changes in your path and others as well? Success comes in many forms and it all leads to one road, that is happiness. You're are the only leader that can lead your life.

I was very encourage (again) by Enrico's blog entry. This man writes the best stuff on leadership, people should pay to read his stuff.

Leaders influence with their confidence, commitment and clarity. With their decisiveness, they can lead with a sense of purpose towards productive conversations that are worthwhile and worth their while. They infuse concern and consideration for others.

Leaders can lead by fear or by fare. They speak encouragingly. They ask provocative questions. They listen. They offer points of consideration. They respectfully provoke thinking. They replace barefaced arrogance with humility and attentiveness. They lead by engineering their influence: charisma, character, expertise, skillfulness, knowledge, courage, values, and energy.

B.o.B's Airplanes Pt. 2 featuring Eminem & Hayley Williams (Paramore lead singer) is the bomb. Eminem is one humourous rapper I can divert my anger to. And Haley William, aww that sweet looking girl that Glenn digs.

The lyrics "can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting starsI could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now" reminds me of a time not to long ago about ECP, Stars, Airplanes and 500 wishes.

With 499 wishes left,
I'm contented that you're my wish.
I'm sure it's something we can sing-a-long to.

Kung 'FU' with Peter

2010-06-15T13:05:00.002+08:00

I serious can't get enough of Peter Chao.

Here's why. He's the yellow version of Russell Peters (what a coincidence that they're both Peters) and he's not afraid to make comical remarks pertaining to races (especially his own), sex, bitches and many more. He wears a shade, which in my opinion is the smartest thing anyone can do if they're doing such things. Plus he's cocky and cool just like Alvin Terence. Only difference between me and Peter is, I don't swear like a sailor.

Okay enough reading and watch the videos by Peter Chao below (you won't be able to view the videos if you're viewing this Blogspot post on Facebook).

Like what Peter Chao would say, "Chao outside mother****ers!"

STOMPer Michael Chin says these men in uniform prevented people from parking in more than 30 lots at Toa Payoh HDB Hub's carpark. He questions if they really have to right to reserve lots like that.

In an email today (June 8) the STOMPer explained the situation:

"MINDEF sent their staff to block more than 30 carpark lots at Toa Payoh HDB Hub Basement 1.

"Apparently this was for their event at HUB Exhibition Hall on June 8. Those who drove in to the carpark in Basement 1 saw lots of empty lots but were asked to drive off by MINDEF staff.

"I believe these carpark lots are first-come-first-served and all drivers pay their parking fees by the minute."

I will know what to do next time when some bastard tells me that the slots are reserved. Get free parking from management with the bold text explanation. =X

The 3 seasons TV series on Nickelodeon (yes, they did it again!) is now making it way to the big screens!

Quite disappointed that to see a cast of western actors when the cartoon is actually based on Asian art and mythology with Asian characters.

However, I'm not going to let the cast put me down for this long awaited movie. I can't wait to watch the CGI effects and the battle scenes!

"Standing Up" Against Porn

2010-06-10T13:07:00.002+08:00

Steve Jobs took a hard stand recently that may put his entire reputation on the line by making Apple products pornography free.

...there’s so much more to pornography than just issues of economics or free speech. It shouldn’t even need to be explained, but apparently for some people it does: Pornography is an ugly, poisonous, degrading business for everyone involved, whether they’re making it, using it, or selling it.

new studies are demonstrating yet again just how dangerous and addictive it can be. It tears at the fabric of marriages and families and of society itself.

As much as I want to support the notion, it's technically impossible to block out every single pornographic website especially when there are other means to bypass it. I am starting to think that this may be one of those publicity stunt to create awareness of the launch of 2 Apple products, the iPhone 4 and iPad. However if the intention is for real, it would be good if there's a combine effort from all computer platform to prevent Internet surfer from accessing such materials easily.

The best advice in magic from The Matrix.

Botak boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Botak boy: There is no spoon.
Neo: There is no spoon?
Botak boy: Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.

I discovered hours before this entry that a special touch is all you need to bend stuff.

Harvesting Condemnation

2010-06-02T15:30:00.005+08:00

Many Christians will probably tell you it's wrong to judge others. Is it truly wrong to condemn a false doctrine? No.

According to the Bible in 2 Timothy 3:16, it states very clearly the rebuking of false doctrines.

I can write a thesis to why I left the church and many who are matured enough will eventually understand my approach to it. Ask me about it and I shall explain to you personally.

Just a night back I stumbled upon a wall post on Kong Hee's Facebook group.

"... Can u juz close your fking gap?! It's none of ur fking business!!! Dun u ever insult our pastor! He's great!"

- Ng Yun Ru Cheryl (angry vulgarity spilling teenager)

Well Cheryl... congratulations, you just expressed to the public how much you have learnt from your "great" pastor.

Also, there's another "great" guy from the "great" church that owes me hundreds of dollars until today. His name is Benedick Lee. He hardly replies my SMSes, misses my call on purpose and comes up with the best excuses in the world. This "'A' grade" Christians are the reason why people condemn Christianity. It just takes one coffee spill to spoil a perfect painting.

A Girl & Her Hot Toy

2010-05-12T01:05:00.002+08:00

It was only a couple of days back that I watch Iron Man 2 with church pals at Eng Wah Cinema for a church outreach.

Though I hate the seats, good thing the movie was great and I mean pretty good. Tony Stark was starting to get on my nerves because of his cockiness, but all that changed when Scarlett Johansson came into the picture midway during the screening. Firstly, I won't classify her as hot, because she alright. But I will give her credit for the amount of confidence and that strange aura of empowerment from her. Jessica Biel is hot.

Like I said it was a church outreach, so which means there were pastors among the movie-goers. When the credits was rolling for the first 5 seconds I started to laugh quietly to myself. The intro for AC/DC's Highway to Hell was distinguish, and I found it ironic that I was listening to it during a church outreach. When David nudge me at the side and told me about the irony, I had to burst out into laughter! HAHAHA.

Okay, next movie Ip Man 2. Anyone?

The End of Hitler

2010-04-28T12:03:00.003+08:00

Since its release in 2004, the German film about Hitler's last days, 'Downfall,' has been adopted for wildly popular YouTube parodies.

Every spoof is from the same scene: A furious, defeated Hitler unleashes an impassioned, angry speech to his staff huddled in an underground bunker.

On Tuesday, the parodies began disappearing from YouTube. The company that owns rights to the film says it has been fighting copyright infringement for years.

Evolution of a Pad

2010-04-17T01:06:00.004+08:00

This is the result of a long journey back home and Freakonomics.

At the beginning of time, there was the pad. It was promised to the women across the global that it will reduce washing and puking after having to see that unsightly bloody pool of soapy water. In addition, it also improve relationships by reducing the PMSTMGFW (Pre-Menstrual Syndrome That Men Get From Women).

It was later reported by some women with astigmatism who had purchased an expensive sanitary pad known as iPod after misreading it as iPad. According to TCNews (TC= Talking Cockroaches), these women thought that they were purchasing a high-tech gadget to monitor their period cycle. They got compensated and was also given a year supply of sanitary pads.

MAD TV soon heard about the report and tired to replicated the spread of the mistaken iPod (see video).

Makers of iPod took a chance at that opportunity and created an iPad (not the one on in that video).

Such a evolution! But there's more. The deaf are getting their VERY OWN VERSION known as the VPAD. It's the next-generation video and text relay services for deaf and hard of hearing persons that are accessible wherever there is Internet or Wi-Fi. WOW! Click here to read more.

In Germany, they came up with the WePad ("Incoming goods Pad" when translated from German to English). Apparently it's said to beat the iPad in many ways. However, we will never know until we tried both of it. Read more here.

With so many pads around, it's hard to choose the right pad that fits you.

Here's our conversation after I asked if he had lots of friends in school.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" I said with a smirk.

"Noooo." said little Josh as he started to frown like Bert from Sesame Street.

"Why not?" I asked.

"Girls are gross!!!" he exclaimed.

I laughed out loud together with his mum. I would have filmed the entire scenario if I knew he was going to react strongly against girls.

I have to admit girls do have their ways of repelling guys like mosquitoes. Just the other day when I tweet this:

With that in mind the whole day, I pondered if I was too harsh with that statement (yes, I curse the world like very one else if you're wondering, especially so when I wake up from the wrong side of the bed. What do you take me for? The Pope? Hahaha). That started to change when I spotted this girl with this eye-sore shirt at Bugis food court. Her shirt had this imprinted to it, "I know you want me".

OH MY FREAKING BUDDHA! This girl was dressed between fashion style of Avril Lavigne and Sun Yanzi with a nerdy Hairy Potter specs. And she thinks she's hot?

I didn't want to take a picture of her because that will just be intrusion of her privacy. So being the artist that I am. Here's my impression of her.

In reality, the best teacher in life is yourself.

Nobody can teach you how you should live your life because they have not been through it (unless they resurrected from the grave to write a book).

However, authors or speakers who touch on these topics should take special attention to their materials because people are willing to subscribe to these information. Nevertheless, it's you decide how you should live your life, these materials can only be served as a guide and not a map for your auto-pilot to take over.

Morals, values and character are something that mounds you to what you are. Where you draw this source paints a persona to the surrounding eyes. You either capture the crowd, or you don't. There's really no in between.

It took some time for me to straighten out my thoughts if i should write this. This took me a lot of courage...

When I first took a glance at you, I didn't take notice of you.

But as I got closer and closer to you, I was worried that I won't be able get a hold of myself. And when it finally did, my skin rubbed against the sides of you, it was so soft like silk.

The scent of you, like fresh cotton, it was almost addictive. It was then I truly set eyes onto you. How did I not see that coming??? How did I not notice you in the first place?!?!?!?!

It may be a short span of time of knowing you but how I wish we can work things out...

We tried things out. Although we weren't long together, I knew that you were the one for me.

We are perfect together.

Perfect I tell you...

The feeling you gave me was so unexplainable. I don't care what people think or say.

Why didn't you give me a chance I traveled everywhere just for you, I freaking sacrificed so MUCH! It's so unfair. You should have waited for me and not let some other guy take you away.

I tired to get you out of my mind by finding a replacement, but there really none like you.

I should have treasured you.

I miss you...

Building A New God

Just got off the phone with TS, a great friend of mine.

An ex-City Harvester wanted my views on the recent hype on the $310m Suntec Stake. As a previous member of the church and an anti-prosperity Gospel Christian, I gave him my honest opinion over the matter.

City Harvest Church board in discussion over S$310m Suntec stake
By Hoe Yeen Nie, Alicia Wong, Claire Huang

The church was recently asked by the Commissioner of Charities about this business venture.

City Harvest did not create a separate business entity for the purchase.

There are concerns regarding this arrangement because the church's income as a registered charity is non-taxable.

It's not an issue for the congregation, because everything is properly audited, so there's no conflict of interest whatsoever.

Full Story

A well audited financial statement simply means that it has been fairly prepared by an auditor and all dollars and cents have been accountable for. Go figure. Of course that was lot more that I mentioned which I won't blog about.

So why are those people staying put?

The power of hypnosis.

Now long ago, I was out with a fellow hypnotist Derek and we were chatting about our experience in hypnotizing people. During our conversation, we brought up techniques used in mega churches. Take Marshall Sylver for example, his "sessions" are some sort similar to how a mega church would operate.

Pastor Benny Hinn, another interesting person. Best known advocates of the prosperity gospel, which teaches that Christians who are right with God will be rewarded with wealth and health in this lifetime. What's amazing is he has no formal theological education nor has he attended even a non-accredited Bible School. Now going through a divorce, people should start pondering, why is it happening?

Ultimately with great power comes with great responsibilities.

Here's an interesting segment on last week's BlogTV.

Teacher - I don't wanna sweat!

We don’t just want our kids to have the smarts, we want them to be all rounded too.

Or least that’s what some schools are trying to do. Increase PE lessons, art and piano classes – so that our kids will be equipped with the soft skills.

But do we really need all-rounded Singaporeans or PRODUCTIVE Singaporeas?

And what do kids really want to learn in school?

Well, instead of being all-rounded and be a Jack of all trades and master of none, I rather be a well-rounded guy and know a little bit of everything before deciding on what I want to focus on and be the best at it.

I guess that's something I have always been doing and I'm pretty happy about it. However there's always room to explore more. There's just so much to learn out there!!! :)

Technically, these people are all-rounded =P

In a recent article by the Straits Times, 4G is expected to hit S'pore next year.

THE hottest technology term you need to know right now is 4G (next to 3-D, of course). 4G refers to the fourth generation of wireless mobile standards.

It is the successor to 3G networks, and is being branded as the revolutionary tool that will allow you to stream videos faster, play online games on mobile phones with little lag, and even stream high-definition movies on your mobile phone - all at the same time.

But here's the catch: 4G will likely be ready earliest only early next year, according to telcos. MobileOne's (M1) 4G-branded Long Term Evolution (LTE) network is expected to be ready by the first quarter of next year. Meanwhile, SingTel has said that its mobile broadband network will be 'upgraded progressively' over the next one
to two years to LTE.

A Mistake Settled by Death

2010-03-15T14:39:00.003+08:00

While chatting with Sel over the death penalty ruling, I was reminded of Vui Kong.

Vui Kong was caught while making a drug delivery in Singapore in 2007, he was only 19 then. Following up his story online. I began to understand clearly that, it's situation that turns us into what we are. If Vui Kong was born with a silver spoon, it's unlikely he would have ended up thirsting for power in the underworld and being a drug runner so he can earn quick big bucks for himself and to pay for his single-parent mother's medical bills.

To know that a young man's life is shorten by a mistake is unfair. I understand the repercussions on the economy on state/country that has drug issues. However, the law should be slightly flexible and consider the condition.

Vui Kong's appeal is today, 15 March at 10am. I hope for good news.

Multiple Judgment Levels

2010-03-12T11:44:00.003+08:00

Thinking back. We live is such a superficial world where everything is judged by the looks and ones net worth. Let's take a look at the multiple judgment level from a different perspective.

“We’ve all heard that people favor their own kind and discriminate against out-groups—but that’s a simplistic view of prejudice, says Amy Cuddy, a professor at Harvard Business School who studies how we judge others. In recent years she and psychologists Susan Fiske of Princeton University and Peter Glick of Lawrence University have developed a powerful new model. All over the world, it turns out, people judge others on two main qualities: warmth (whether they are friendly and well intentioned) and competence (whether they have the ability to deliver on those intentions). A growing number of psychological researchers are turning their focus to this rubric, refining it and looking for ways in which we can put this new understanding of first impressions to use.

When we meet a person, we immediately and often unconsciously assess him or her for both warmth and competence. Whereas we obviously admire and help people who are both warm and competent and feel and act contemptuously toward the cold and incompetent, we respond ambivalently toward the other blends. People who are judged as competent but cold—including those in stereotyped groups such as Jews, Asians and the wealthy—provoke envy and a desire to harm, as violence against these groups has often shown. And people usually seen as warm but incompetent, such as mothers and the elderly, elicit pity and benign neglect.

New research is revealing that these split-second judgments are often wrong, however, because they rely on crude stereotypes and other mental shortcuts. Last year psychologist Nicolas Kervyn and his colleagues published studies showing how we jump to conclusions about people’s competence based on their warmth, and vice versa. When the researchers showed participants facts about two groups of people, one warm and one cold, the participants tended to assume that the warm group was less competent than the cold group; likewise, if participants knew one group to be competent and the other not, they asked questions whose answers confirmed their hunch that the first group was cold and the second warm. The upshot: “Your gain on one [trait] can be your loss on the other,” says Kervyn, now a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton.”

Year of the Tiger Woods

2010-03-11T10:04:00.001+08:00

In Singapore, the Year of the Tiger isn't just a Chinese zodiac. It's the year for everyone to be like Tiger Woods.

My previous neighbour Jack Neo recently made highlights in the news just before the opening of his latest movie, Being Human.

On the public transport and on Facebook, people were quick to pinpoint it as a publicity stunt for many reasons.

Coincidentally City Harvest Church, where Neo is as a member of an infamous mega church in Singapore, made highlights on the news for being a co-owner of Suntec Reit. I will leave this topic for another entry.

"Wood" you Stray

2010-03-08T17:04:00.003+08:00

Would you stray in a relationship?

What will make you stray? Is there something that can't be solved or are those "strayers" looking for a simple solution?

This is something I can relate too. In one of my recent relationships, I felt I wasn't getting what I deserve, though the problem didn't need to be express as it was obvious and making matter worst friends and family have been encouraging me to get out of it.

But I didn't stray though it would be a nice payback. So, I thought of the repercussions and about her (apparently her other exs cheated on her as well, I "wonder" why) and I stayed faithful.

Coming back to the topic, straying can now be used as a possible publicity stunt. First Woods and now Neo. Some are true, some aren't.

You be the judge.

Part of the the Media Fiesta 2010, I got to experience a snippet of the wonderful life as a Board of Film Censors (BFC). I can imagine being paid to watch films after films every other day.

Law Abiding Citizen was screened after a short introduction of the classification process.

If you love SAW, you will definitely love Law Abiding Citizen. It's a thriller packed film about the distance a father (Gerard Butler) would go to vengeance the death of his wife and daughter. Expect exciting scenes and a great plot. :)

Gerard Butler acted really well in this film. I never imagine seeing a softer side of him after watching The Ugly Truth and 300. For those ladies who haven't got over the sexy body of Gerard Butler after 300, fret not, there's one scene you will drool over (no CGI body edits, promise).

No Harm, A Smile

2010-03-07T02:01:00.004+08:00

I learnt an important life lesson this month based on an experience that not many might ever experience. Ashamed that the world has consumed part of me, I have decided to do what's best, despite what come may.

What puts a smile on people's faces isn't my skill in magic, but rather, it's the person behind the magic - me. A smile, if it can be given, give and don't hold back. A heart of gold isn't made of precious metal or has a price tagged to it, it's a muscular organ that's full of endurance, filled with warmth, full of love and is priceless. It doesn't take much effort to care or to love; it's free. It's true when they say that the good things in life are for free, because we will never know how much it cost us until it's gone.

So live a priceless life today and start loving all with no limits and no conditions.

Have a nice ride.

I'm sure many of us started using the MRT and Buses before we had such luxury of driving our own vehicle. But during those times while traveling, it was those special moments in those public transports that makes it all so memorable.

STOMP! moments like couples making-out and doing hanky panky stuff at the back of the buses, humourous graffiti, inconsidering people (those who litter their earwax and nosewax, sleepyheads that occupies 4 seats thinking it's their bed), weird elderly (who shells their prawns after market, talk to their invisible friend, ogle at pretty girls [sometimes, little boys]), short-tempered people (those who punch the bus captain, those who fight with anyone) and more.

Some are guilty to be participants whereas some are simply the spectators.

Let's be spectators at the comfort of our homes. All thanks to YouTube.

These are the clips that make us Uniquely Singapore hahaha!

At The Bookstore

2010-03-03T02:20:00.004+08:00

It's amazing what you can find at a bookstore.

I found books teaching secrets to be a REAL psychic, that will make my job as a mentalist a whole lot better don't you guys agree?

And for those Twilight fans, now there's full instructional guide with colored illustrations on how to be a vampire! What's interesting is, the books were found at the children sections... Looks like we will be seeing more of little Edward Cullen running over the place.

Shit.

2 Classic Cs

2010-03-01T03:19:00.002+08:00

Ever gotten one of those SMSes when you were younger from your parents commanding you to 'come home now' or 'it's late!'. You know that kinds of shit. Well I received a similar SMS like that 2 days back but it wasn't from my parents (how I wished it was). It was a government notice informing me about my National Service Call-up Notification. Some Ang Bao uh. I'm pretty excited to go back to see some people and sweat it all out once again. Time for me to go into some serious gym training before ICT come June. Oh shit, this reminds me, there's bunk cleaning!

During my younger days, I was told a couple of times that my mouth would get me into trouble. Though I've simmered down in comparison to 10 years ago (and those who hangout with me often can vouch for me). My mouth got me into a really really awkward situation. It was at Aljunied where I met up with Qiwei for a drink and while he was in the line for the ATM, I spotted this girl in a bright pink mini bathrobe with just a tube and Thai Boxing Boxers in it. Weird as it is, she was standing 5 meters away from where the queue was. And she was adjusting her outfit openly beside a mirror from a instant photo booth. Like you can imagine, passersby looked with a cramped face, probably pondering why she was doing such a thing in public. Apparently, I commented about the ordeal to Qiwei. "This should be on STOMP! and seriously, what the hell is she doing mann, this is disgusting". And low and behold, she walked towards the queue we were in to join her friends. HER FREAKING FRIENDS WERE IN FRONT OF US! No wonder they gave me that look when I spoke of her. Both me and Qiwei had a silent burst of laughter.

Just recent, I met up with besties Carries and Meg. Everyone is seriously so busy with everything and anything. But we had a good time catching up on the lost time. To think my life is filled with weird girls and people, there's one at TCC @ Suntec. According to Carrie, she seems to be hitting on me.

This month I'll be taking things slow, I need to go out and enjoy myself with some of the people I haven't met for a long time. Time for re-scheduling! :)

I Got a Monkey on My Back.

I can't express it more except for this picture. For those who knows it, thanks for helping. For those who don't: how do I get a monkey off my back? LOL.

Korean pop songs are amazingly worth listening. They are catchy and worth feasting your eyes on.

It's amazing how myself and the others can enjoy a song written about one's incurable disease.

That's exactly what happened over at Timber @ Substation 2 days back. Local band, The Goodfellas, sang Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. And as they sang, I glazed at everyone singing along to the flute-charmer's tune, I paused and wondered. "What on earth am I doing?!".

Bohemian Rhapsody, was a song written by Freddie Mercury about his sexual folly which caused him is life. If you listen to the lyrics carefully, he seems like he regretted his actions and he certainly feel ashamed about it and felt a sense of disappointment to his parents (especially his mum).

Freddie Mercury died on 24 November 1991 at the age of 45 due to bronchial pneumonia resulting from AIDS.

Looks like the entertainment industry is like a curve chart. The higher you get the more drug, sex and violent you get - not forgetting the risk that comes with it.

What I don't understand about the song is the part, "Beelzebub has the devil put aside for me". Is Freddie Mercury assuring the rumours about the backmasking and possible involvement with the occult? Nobody will ever know for sure.

All we need now is some green jello and a tub! Perfect!

I doubt any guys will want to mess around with those girls anymore, even though they may have a big heart.

No Hope

2010-02-17T23:38:00.002+08:00

Hope Johnson goes home from American Idol. :(

When I finally thought for the first time that this sweet looking girl might actually be in the top 12, the judges gave her the boot. Oh wells. Personality besides talent does play an important part in entertainment.

It was long. A long day.

So it was one those nights car ride, after supper @ Simpang with Josh and company (you know who you saboteurs are). A harmless advertisement on Class 95 turned into a dared between me and my pals.

2 days before the event, I received a call from Yasmine after my date with Michelle. I was EXCITED and DELIGHTED... but the feeling soon went away quickly on that day after I slapped on my participant number sticker, M4. I was even told to cheer up by the lady at the reception after she noticed my glum face. That was embarrassing haha.

I felt so detached from the world. But I realized, I wasn't the only one in that plight. Guosh, James and 1 or 2 others felt in the same state. We had some guy talk and James wanted a preview of what I do best, Mentalism.

Like I was explaining to the guys, my props are people's minds. So I attempted to work with the stuff on James. With all the help, concentration and energy from Alvin (another dude with the same name as me), Guosh, Lawrence and Razin, I managed to stop James' own watch in his very own hand. And to take it to another level, I started to drop bombs of influence subtly as I "revive" his watch again, in his own hands. I successfully influence them to agree to a random time pre-set on my wrist watch ahead of time. They were convince that Mentalism was more than just a television show, they found it to be very real and mind orgasmic.

Everything began and ended well. Dinner was great (love the souppp!) and I left with a smile. Next it was then off to Prinsep St to hang out with my pals!

Team Fortress 2 is uber cool!

Dance like the Devil

2010-02-09T00:00:00.003+08:00

Dear Joce,

If there's ever dancers like this at Zouk, you know I won't ever need to be persuaded to dance among the crowd of trance lovers.

Love,
Al

Perseverance, persistence, determination, sincerity, time and a little touch of magic.

Street Magic

2010-01-14T11:30:00.004+08:00

I'm going to do a short speech on Street Magic tomorrow and I thought, why not share my thoughts on it with my readers.

What is Street Magic? Close-up magic? Parlour magic? Actually, you won't be wrong if you were to associate those 2 with it. This term is sadly incorrectly used by beginners in magic. Some may even perceive it as a new form of magic probably originated by David Blaine - when he came up with his TV special entitled "Street Magic".

Street Magic is actually plain old busking with magic. What usually happens is, the magician will gather a crowd, entertains them and collect his tips with his gentleman hat.

The contrast with Street Magic and Busking has taken a twist, there's no fixed dress code, the routine can involved big props and maybe even some stooges.

So have fun with magic, have fun with street magic and most importantly have fun with magic today.

I can't believe it that Singaporeans are still giving credit to someone else's misfortune and low level of intellectuality humour. It's like watching a plump kid fall/bounce down a flight of stairs.

It's still however an entertaining and a nicely scripted segment. :)

Hot Stuff

2010-01-11T05:18:00.003+08:00

Just when you think Beckham and Posh Spice are spicy hot stuff.

Think again. Check out Anja Rubik & Sasha Knezevic, they will make you want to be them.

I'm guilty.
