I know it’s time for me to lose some weight, took a look at some pictures which were taken of me some time back and I realised that I indeed had sharper features as compared to this round face. I think it’s about time that I did something.

Strict diets are quite hard considering where I am, working environments are the worst as it “forces” you to engage in nice meals together with colleagues, but I do have to say that I lack discipline when it comes to such issues. I guess it’s all about finding ways and means to do it, exercise is only effective with proper diets. It’s time to go western, wake up early to prepare that sumptious meal, full of good nutrients and keeping me from snacking. :(

You know everyone says that you just need about 6 hours of sleep to feel energized and recharged to face the day. But I do not feel so, and I think sleep as important as it is must be done right. I just feel so tired every single day now, of course this stems from the stress accumulated from work and other thoughts racing around my mind.

Some times I wonder how will I be able to sleep better? Sleeping pills? Better bed? Food eaten before sleep? I guess a little prayer and meditation would be good food for the soul and would be a good answer for me to put my worries of the day to rest. Well as they say, tomorrow will be a better day. Till then, sleep well and enjoy your day. YAWNS~~~~

Today I was in for a shock as I steped in the office, opened my Mac and pulled out my trusty Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 and turned it on. It did not detect! Oh my what happed I thought.

Turned out that the batteries, which came with my mouse have finally decided to give up on my and I had a hard time this morning locating batteries. I tried 7-11 and guess what? They were exhorbitantly priced bars of power. So I came back and tried a stationary shop located at level 2 of my office, $3.60 for a pack of 4. I guess that had to do since it’s the cheapest I could find.

Now my mouse if back and probably happy that way or not since I would be click away on it. Moral of the story, keep some spare batteries in the office, you never know when it would come in handy.

BTW, the mouse batteries latested quite a while before dying, I think it’s quite efficient a mouse wonder if I should still consider getting the Mighty Mouse Wireless ($90). Must resist!

I was waiting for the 105 service today, my iPod playing my tunes and putting it in repeat I think the song played for at least 10 times before the bus arrived.

Lo and behold not 1 but 3 buses and that was after 45 min of wait! I mean what the heck? Why would 3 buses turn up at the same time? Boarded the last bus which gave me some seating space, well talk about world class transportation service. Bah!

105 takes a long time to come but tonite was rediculous, I was so tired just waiting for the bus and I’m still puzzeled why all the buses turned up at the same time? Anyone care to shed some light?

Was checking my Google analytics and guess what? I did not have visitors on the 9th if June, which incidentally  is my birthday.  Hahaha, but it was great this year many people remembered and especially when those that remember are the ones who love you :)

Back to the report… Do let me know how you would like your Birthday, perhaps I could compile a list of things so that it would be less of a headache when your friends want to find out what to do during that special day.

Yeah that’s the feeling I have right now, I’m not sure what am I doing and what the heck I’m typing everyday. Writing the story of someone else is not easy and to make it award winning is even harder then I would have expected it to be. There are just too many things which I would have to do and I’m kind of stress and it’s not good for writing well.

Stress != Good Writer

Now remember that people the above statement is very important, if you want to write well you need to have a clear mind and that is what is needed to ensure that you thoughts are coherent and good. How I wish I could reach into my brain and clear the clutter that has formed up, the expectations and all the uncertainty. Sigh, I think prayer does help in some ways, perhaps a break away from this madness to seek solitude and rest would be the best for me now.

I hope this lasts for a week. If not I’ll probably stone once again, when people are around I need to find the energy to push through the day. When people are not I’ll just sit and find some way to have fun, oh work and the insecurities of the future are bogging me down.

How? I’m not doing the stuff that I want to do in life… YET.

One more day, new set of issues, new visions and new goals. Life can just be so melancholic.

It’s been a crazy few weeks for me. I think the reason being I’m being left to fend for myself and make decisions and be responsible for my actions as how it would indirectly affect the company I am working for and at the same time my reputation.

I do feel the lack of experience and the need for me to catch up with what the company is doing is a constant struggle. I always feel that need to leave everything and run away to somewhere, some place where I can take rest. I definitely know it’s not possible to find peace by myself but sometimes I just feel so inadequate to face up to God.

I feel the need to escape and run away, I’m feeling down and out. I just need to press on, one step at a time.

My company design team has an extra ticket so I’m going to go and watch the movie this coming Wednesday. Enough said

Ahem… yes it’s that time of the year again, where the ladies will expect some love to be dispatched to them. It’s that time when the guy has to weight various factors before making the ultimate decision to purchase something.

You know how it is when you purchase a really beautiful bouquet of flowers at exorbitant prices and hand it over to your girl, instead of seeing a person full of “love” you sometimes see them express their dissatisfaction of you wasting you money on flowers on this day. The day when flower shops turn into guillotine, hehe … although I did see some online “vendor” market their goods for a great price.

Everything today is over-rated. A meal at a restaurant will set you back at least $50 per person and almost everything romantic will be made expensive on this day. Is this the only day when 2 people can express their love for each other? Why does it have to be this day, so can couples take a break and not love each other on the other days?

Anyway, prices for today are crazy, overheard a guy trying to buy a dozen roses and it would cost him $100 for a dozen. It’s sheer madness I tell you, but if you do not get them at that price, your lady would think you’re stingy. Sigh how hard is it to make someone happy?

Well Happy Valentine’s Day everyone

Finally I have got the site up again, been having problems displaying the site. I wonder why anyways it’s up again and it should be good for a while, better start to work on backing up and enhancing the site. Anyway do check out www.ntotd.com it’s where you can display your latest “TOY”. Anything goes and as long as you love it just show it off.

HDMI cables are so over priced all over, I got a couple over at play-asia.com for quite a good price or I should this so, anyway if you’re interested hop over and grab a few, maybe even buy more and sell em to your friends go a little profit.

I like the deluxe version and find the build quality good, and especially impressive with the mesh layer around the cable.

HDMI Cable Deluxe Type (2 meters / 6.6 ft), 3rd Party US$6.99

HDMI Cable (2 meters / 6.6 ft), 3rd Party US$5.99

I have been selected to take part in the Hardware Zone Nokia Guru program so I get to test out the latest gadgets from Nokia directly. I applaud Nokia for wanting to reach out to the masses. The first phone that I am trying out is the Nokia E90. Sleek and packed with lots of functions. I blog directly at Hardware Zone but do not expect super technical information from me but rather look out for ways to make the most out of this phone. It does not retail cheap but I guess it is really useful for those on the go.

When I thought that it could not drop any further, came along our friendly mobile phone operators who decided to drop the bomb on many one day. Prices dropped from $488 to $388 and now it’s only $88 with a 2 year mobile phone contract!

I’m not sure if this is a good thing as many will start to use this phone and it kind of takes out the way the phone was suppose to be marketed. The E65 is an executive phone meant for Professionals, Managers, Executives & Businessmen, whoring the phone at such a price only makes the phone look cheap, really cheap. Good thing I got mine for $178 if not I’ll feel as if I have just shot myself in the foot. So those who wanna get a great offer head down to your friendly mobile operators and pick up a slick looking Nokia E65 now.

Available at Singtel, Starhub and M1

A friend sent me this nice site about inspirational people who succeeded in life. They never did give up and dared to dream that dream and move ahead taking and sticking to their choice, hoping that one day the world will be moved. Eventually they did and these are little snippets which I guess we can take and use in our lives. Every time I decide that it’s the end, it’s good to have a little mental vitamins to jolt you back up and realise that life is beyond a little failure, a future of success is within reach as long as you persevere on with an unwavering spirit.

Read the little snippets over at this site.
