Almost A Week Into 2009
Tuesday January 6, 2009
Okay, so lets see, what have I been busy with? Well my room spring cleaning is taking way too long than I expected. How can I focus when dvd (good) movies keep reeling me away? And the Internet is evil I tell ya, it just saps every bit of drive you have and re-shift your focus to non-productive things like the below post.

Bother An Arachnid
Monday January 5, 2009
Got this via email, frigging brilliant what flash interactivity can do. I spent a good 15mins toying with the settings and just plain pulling it left-right-up-down-center. This however will be as close as I get to a tarantula. Your spidey sense tingling yet? Mine sure did.

Unable to Support New Security Features
Friday January 2, 2009
Due to system limitation, our system is unable to support the new security features found on IE7 and FireFox 3.0 and above. In order to access these forms, we recommend to use a lower browser version or disable SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 on the new browser.
I got this trying to email DBS iBanking customer support via their feedback form while on Firefox. I had to resort to using an older (read: unsecured & unstable) version of Internet Explorer instead. What. The. Fugg?

2009 Here We Come!
Thursday January 1, 2009
Well, in a bid to rectify my screwed up body clock, I slept through the new year’s countdown like a baby when I should be out with the guys. Instead, I woke up early to usher in 2009 with a good 45mins jog. I know, I couldn’t believe it either.

Go Down Fighting
Tuesday December 30, 2008
Sometimes the best way to deliver a punch is to step back…
- Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris (Morgan Freeman) in Million Dollar Baby
Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!
- Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) in Rocky Balboa
This is why I love good films. Not only are they visual feast and entertainment, they’re also inspirational and motivational in their script-writing and story-telling. Anyways, don’t ask me why but these quotes are both from boxing movies, heh. Ok so where’s my punching bag?

Would you prefer a lie or the truth?
Monday December 15, 2008
I was surfing Amazon for bargain movie DVD deals to purchase where I stumbled upon V For Vendetta’s product page. I’ve seen the movie before, I’m interested in this particular 2 discs special edition. There, instead of reading reviews of the product I got endless reviews of the movie itself. How informative to buyers. If I want movie reviews, I’ll go to Imdb.com why thank you. But that is a rant for another post.

Japan Overdue
Friday December 12, 2008
I’m too tired to write down my Japan experience. I shall let the (long overdue) photos do the talking though they don’t really do justice. If you get the chance to meet me, I’ll tell you more in person. Cheers to Nadi and Dan for being great sport and fun travel buddies.
