LETTERS FROM THE LIVING

Saturday, July 22, 2006

Haha... For the faithful netizens who accompanied me on my blogosphere trek, some of you might remember an entry entitled "Bad Hair Day". Thank God, things have improved!! After a sumptuous breakfast followed by a short nap again(hello, I woke up at 7am to have breakfast with my parents), I went to my good old barbershop down at Parkway Parade. This time, equipped with "special instructions" from my mum, things neither gone bad nor wild. Phew!

Tip(s) of the day for people who pay attention to their crowning glory: Do make an effort to spell out specifically what you want (having a photo does help a lot as well) - even if he/she is an uncle/auntie, or someone you really trust. Also keep watch out what he/she is cutting! and it is never too late or feel paiseh to remind or confirm what he/she is doing. I hope every visit to the barber will be like today.

IA has been filled with random patches of boredom, as well as exciting bits of action at Infineon. In fact, it is far easier to be busy than to act busy. Some careful observations also provided interesting insights of working life. E.g. Every single member of the organization plays a part, whether we notice or not - which is also relevant to church I guess. Btw, I also received a timely paycheck from them! Thank God once again...

Also, like a bolt from the blue, I recieved an email from 5 Takes. For the uninitiated, it is a travel program (Starhub Ch16 Discovery Travel & Living) hosted by 5 young and energetic TJs (travel jockeys!) where they get to travel through 12 cities, but only get $50 per day to cover their expenses for exploration. And they are searching for new TJs for a new season(it's still on!), and I got through the 1st rd(out of 3) of the casting call thru' a basic write-up of myself. Now, they ask all hopefuls to prepare a video log(vlog) and a weblog(blog) sample before they decide to choose the desired partcipants for a final interview. Ideas anyone?! Cos deadline is in a week's time, HELP!!!

Enjoyed both L-cell and cell this week! (Not just the gel okay)
Muse's Black Holes and Relevations CD is bursting my mini Hi-Fi!
Pauline's constant rants are bursting my eardrums!
My constant "counselling" are bursting her blood veins!!
Need to do administrative NTU stuff for IA. Sianz...
Need to be prudent with IA allowance!!!

Enough afterthoughts ya? Now VJ Titanium will be dishing out some Christian metal tracks starting this weekend. Although their style may not be very Christian, but they do not conform to the ways of other rock bands like drinking, swearing and sleeping around - absolutely respected!! These are songs that I personally dig and not everyone may like them. So there won't be hard feelings ya? A slight intro will accompany the vids so you will be prepared and not waste your time downloading/viewing something you don't like. Appreciate by choice...

Screamo but catchy, for the adventurous
Underoath - Reinventing Your Exit

Metalcore, not for the faint-hearted
As I Lay Dying - Through Struggle

Interesting to ponder on the 3 things that I would look for in a partner (I not greedy one):
1. Anything
2. Something
3. Nothing

Lame at first sight? Read again:
1. Anything that I hope for or desire in a partner
2. Something unique that I did not even expect
3. Nothing that I cannot tolerate

Great hair day...
