It Knows Know Boundaries

When I hung up the phone last night, I realized that what I just did was an idea someone had. The idea of talking to someone by using a tool to help us communicate with one another seamlessly. Most of us take for granted the easy accessibility of the internet and the electricity. I could understand how it feels not to be connected to the internet and not have electricity at the same time.

I use to often stay at my late dad's village in Batu Pahat, Johor when I was in primary school. Every long holidays he would pick the whole family up from Singapore back to Johor and back when school is about to reopens. During that time, we do get a blackout due to some technical fault and the whole village would be in darkness and everyone would be using candles.

Okay, maybe I wasn't so affected by the blackout but I use to watch the TV often then and at times I missed out some shows and cartoons. Living in blackout is not easy but we worked it out especially when night comes. We can't see much and we tend to stay close to one another for safety. I was definitely afraid of the dark then, but not too much now, only if I don't think too much about what's there in the dark. Anything that uses electricity was kind of useless. But when the blackout was over, life had a new life. I was back watching TV, lying down with the fan blowing cool wind at me. Lights filled up the house and everything was back to normal. Life was simple at the village for me then. Then came the internet.

There wasn't internet back at Johor then and even now. But back at Singapore, when I first got internet, it was so addictive. There was a cap for the amount of data I could use. I think it was less than 1GB. I can't remember the exact amount but anyway, I always exceed the data and my aunt had to pay more for the excess usage. The computer and the internet was shared between me and my elder brother. I think this was when I was back in primary 3 or 4? Wow. That's like 12 years back.

How simple ideas like the electricity and the internet changed the world. It has crossed oceans and continents to change lives of human beings for better or worse. I Skyped last night and it ended my day so much better than I had expected.

Losing Minds

I sometimes wonder if I'm okay. I realized that I tend to be more positive in the morning than I am at night. This occurs most of the time when I'm alone most of the time. Sometimes it even happens when I'm with a group of friends.

Much has happened these past few days. My most recent event would be the diving theory I took last Wednesday. It was a 3hour theory lesson. It was like back to class for me. Our instructor, Grace, did a good job in teaching us the theory. She was really friendly and made it easy to understand for those who were there.

Last Tuesday was Charmaine's birthday. I believe she was so happy by the end of the day. It was her first time cutting her own cake according to her. I can't remember how that felt but I bet she was so happy. She said she got dunked in the sea, which was not surprising to me. Anyone can get dunked for whatever reason. Knowing enough of her childhood, I really believe she felt like the happiest girl in the world at the moment. I gave her chocolates and a card.

Last Thursday was awesome! I had dinner with Carolyn and Jessamine at Popeye's and the delicious durian dessert which they introduced to me. I really enjoy their company alot. They are such nice friends. It's located at Ang Mo Kio where the two stores are just across one another and that made it much more convenient. It was definitely a good catch up for me and Jess who has quit Sentosa. Carolyn is still working in Sentosa so I still chat with her when she's in the island. I realized that I've actually known them for about slightly more than a year. How time flies. We bought some stuff from NTUC after the dessert and found a place to sit to continue our very interesting conversations. That night ended well for me. We'll definitely meet up again but not so soon as the both of them have exams and their own stuff to do. Good stuff.

It ends here. For now. I got to shower and have breakfast before I head out to work. More to come!

i ponder

It's been 3 days since she flew off. The first day was the toughest for me. The sudden halt of the frequent SMS really made me lose myself. I couldn't focus at all. All I could do that day was to distract myself by doing something without thinking much. I couldn't get the hang of not receiving and replying her SMS so many times daily since she came back from China. It was one of the worst days in my life.

DREAM HOME

I want a crib like Akon's!

His crib is sick! I almost got a heart attack when I saw this video half way though on my iPhone when I was in the bus. His master bedroom is just awesome! I love his shower room man. You could fit in like 10 people inside! There's even a place for a pole dance. Nice! Let your imaginations run wild! He even has a tiger on his backyard, it's in a glass cage. He even has a remote that controls almost every electronics and devices at home. I love his Phelps Lounge. I'm already in love with his home :)

The cars that he showed in the video are exactly the ones that I really dream to own someday. I especially love his white Lamborghini Murcielago. It's so beautiful. Especially the red interiors. It's so hot and sexy!

I'm just posting the parts which I like about the video that's all. A renewed vision :)

I am a happier man today :D
