I am no Hero
I've been thinking for couple of days that being a hero if somewhat fun. Picture that you are Superman or Spiderman... it's kindda cool to stand on top of the highest building with your arms on your hips while cooly watching the people beneath you walking by peacefully and happily, knowing that somebody will save them in case any bad thing happens. Shit happens, but Superman will always be there to save your day.
If I were Superman, I wouldn't have had any difficulties when travelling. I could go to Bangkok with $0 in my pocket. I wouldn't need any iPod as I could go to any concerts all over the world without paying any penny. I would've prefered to watch Greenday compared to Oasis as I think Greenday is better. Too bad though, Greenday doesn't come to Singapore. Hmm... maybe they think Singapore is too small and they can't afford to play in a relatively small number of people. But I guess they wouldn't mind to come to Singapore and perform in front of Superman, hahaha....
If I were Spiderman, I wouldn't have suffered when my left shoulder was dislocated when playing football, or when spraining my ankle when jumping around. I wouldn't need to queue for a bus as I could've spread my web and swinging around here and there. Finding a perfect dating location shouldn't be that difficult. Pick a place, my dear, your wish is my command...
But I am no hero... and that what makes it special. I don't need to conceal my identity and just act the way I am. I have no extra tight clothes to wear in case I sense any danger. In my opinion, being a hero would be very boring as there's nothing much left to conquer, knowing that you can do any extraordinary things at ease. Unless you want to have some fun by conquering the world, ... I guess that's the reason why some good heroes turn bad. Haha... I guess Lex Luthor is a more suitable character for me than Superman.

emPod is my present
It's been a while since I put my last post to this blog. Many things have happened since then. First, let me tell the story about my new gadget.
Few weeks before my birthday, I had been thinking about what present I should get myself as my birthday present. After some considerations, I decided to buy an iPod. Apple, at that time, had a sweet valentine package for iPods. If we bought an iPod online, then the it would come with a short engraving of whatever we wanted to write at the back of its body. Cool huh... But procrastination has been my real problem all along. I kept postponing putting an order online till the offer expired. Too bad... I couldn't get that offer.
Finally, it was one night before valentine's day. I had so much to do in the office. Too busy... I couldn't even think how to party during valentine's day. I didn't want that day only to be a day, I wanted it to be the day. Anyways, I went back home quite late from the office. I was in the MRT when I felt that my eyes were too heavy... Then, there I was... dozing off in the train not knowing that the train station I wanted to stop has passed. I was awake when the train stopped at Orchard station. My gut feeling said that I had to stop there. Since I was in sleepy-head state, I just followed what my gut feeling told me to do. I stepped out from the station and my legs unconciously brought me to Apple Centre. Haha... then there was this friendly guy, one of the shop attendants, giving me information about iPod etc. ... 30 minutes after that, I was rather sober, then I realized that I had this green plastic bag with an iPod in it... Hahaha...
I didn't know what happen. Santa Claus had come to me, not on Xmas but near Valentine's day; And he gave me the thing I had wanted for. Well, I guess some amount of money has been deducted from my bank, but I will think about it later =P... No time to think about it, having so much fun now. >.<

My quality service: Satisfaction Guaranteed
It's Sunday morning now... Reminds me of one of Oasis' songs which kindda express my feeling right now and the lyric goes like this:
Anyways, today I was thinking to turn my life into a service industry and decided to adopt this line: Satisfaction Guaranteed, as the promise of my quality service =D. Short, sweet and to the point. Anything you trust me to do, I would guarantee that you will be satisfied... Whatever it is, you name it. But as Spiderman said, "With a great power comes a great responsibility". I am no Spiderman nor Wonderwoman nor Stevie Wonder, ... so again I've got to change Spiderman's line a little bit, "With a great satisfaction comes a great price", haha...
Here's another sunday morning call, Yer hear yer head-a-banging on the door.
Slip your shoes on and then out you crawl, Into a day that couldn't give you more
But what for?....
And in your head, do you feel what you're not supposed to feel?
You take what you want, but you won't get it for free. You need more time, Cos your
thoughts and words won't last forever more. But i'm not sure if it ever works out
right. But it's ok. It's alright.

When it's a fcuk-ing day and somebody saves me from the rain
F.C.U.K
It's been a tiring day. Waking up in the morning to find both eyes were very hard to compromise. I was better to have them half open rather than half closed, which made it hard for me to part with my modest bed ... so I prefered lying still on the bed. I had been involved in a cheerful conversation the previous night which was interrupted since the other party's phone was running out of battery and realized that it was time to sleep. The whole conversation had been a great moment, sadly speaking though, it wasn't ended in a high note =(.
I was lying still on the bed ... hoping to sleep longer until the sun shine thouched my butt. However, I had no choice but to wake up, the world was calling me *lol. In my head while I was asleep, there was an old man appearing and he said, "If you don't wake up ... , software with high quality won't be able to be delivered to the customers. And thus, there won't be world peace". Pissed me off. I just showed him a finger of mine (not the pinky, nor the ring, nor the thumb, nor the fore) and woke up from my bed.
Starting of the day with a low morale... and it became lower only to find out that in the office I was relocated to a small tiny little cube where which my PC already occupies half of it... and the other half would be used to rest my bumps =p.
The best cure of a shitty day is going back home and play the guitar. Tune the guitar, connect it to the speaker, turn the speaker's volume knob to the maximum, start playing ... then you'll forget your weariness. My friend described this kind of feeling as: orgasmic (A similar point of intensity of emotional excitement). Anyways, upon finishing the office, I had no other destination than home.
The nature didn't help me much as it was raining as I was walking from the train station to my safe nest. From there, to reach my flat, I need to walk in an open space before crossing a road with a traffic light which could make me wet because of the rain. Again, no choice. As traffic light was still green, I decided to wait until it turned red and planned to run (to minimalise the amount of water I was gonna received from the rain). So I waited... flipped a brochure that I'd just got from a lady who distributed it near train station. Unexpectedly, there was a man, in his thirties, passing by. He happened to bring an umbrella and asked me if I wanted to cross the street as well. Cooll... so I jumped in and we shared an umbrella. He brought a load of stuff in his left hand, so I offered a hand to bring some of his stuff, while his right hand was holding the umbrella.
We involved in an informal conversation. I introduced my name after he introduced his. Though it was a light topic that we talked about while crossing the road, his little help has made my day. He said he just bought so much stuff as his girlfriend is coming over from Thailand to visit him (i kindda guess that they wanna celebrate valentine's day together, haha). I replied by saying that I just returned back from having lots of fun in Bangkok =p.
Haha... can't imagine that a passer-by has made my day. No wonder there's a saying, "A small act of kindness goes a long way". Hmm... so worry not, if I have another shitty day, then I'll just look up for any passer-by. Chances are he's gonna make and not break my day.. =D.
