Singaporens' Males life expectancy currently stands at 78.4. Given that I am going to be 26 this year, that means 35% of my life is gone, in the past. And if I estimate that in the last 20% of my life, I will not be in a good enough health to play, that means I have 45% left, and thats only 30yrs! Gotta play more..

And why does Females live up to 83.2yrs, a whole 5yrs longer than Males??

The signs ain't gd..

If you know me, you know I watch alot of japanese dramas. What I like about these dramas is it motvates people, and the central focus of a lot of these dramas always revolve around certain jobs.

Code Blue - Emergency doctors


Mr Brain - Police Science


Voice - Trainee autopsy doctors


Nodame Cantabile - Musicians


Buzzer Beat - Professional basketballer


Pride - Ice-hockey


Bambino - Chef


Engine - Racer


Good Luck - Pilot


Attention Please - Cabin Attendant


Rondo - Spy


Attack No. 1 = Vball players


Umizaru - Diver



Seriously, I can't imagine them doing a drama on Product Specialist..

I'm going to look for a new job.

Theres a thousand thoughts going through my mind, but I can't grasp any of it.

Its kind of hard, and troublesome, and scary, when you reach the end of a stage of life, and have to take the next step into the next stage. From leaving my pri sch to sec, leaving for college,to army,to ntu. The uncertainty is huge, and a lot of things become out of your control. Leaving your comfort zone, is always a hard thing to do, so it really take a lot of courage and commitment to do so.

Marriage is one of those stages, a big step to a whole new world. Congrats to Shumin for being the first among the vball kakis to make the step.

Career is another stage. If the future is not what you want, then perhaps its time to leave. Another friend left my company last week; every departure gives me something to think about, why the person chose to leave, and whats next. I'm wondering whats next for me.

Life have been mono without your presence..

More macros, flowers this time,

I think this is cool

Noticed the moon tonight?? It was large and bright, slightly orange just after someset, and I thought when did the govt built such a large lamp along the road. I captured the below at ard 8pm though, after my run.

Listening to his songs, and watching his videos on youtube kind of brought back memories. I remember sitting in front of the tv on holidays, because they will always show michael jackson concerts. Whoever watched his dance before will definitely try to imitate him and his moonwalk(not the crouch grabbing part though, that I always find weird).

Hes a legend now. And whatever negative news about him doesnt really matter now, cos all I watched is the guy on stage.

Part of Steve Jobs speech in 2005, which I find inspiring:

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
