I was watching Rob Schneider’s “Hot Chick” the other day, and this particular song kinda beckons to me. Although I don’t really approve of the lyrics, which is really the RA type… it has however a pretty infectious and catchy tune. Plus it reminds me of another movie that uses the same song. I can’t

Hmm I think it’s about time I do a likes and dislikes page. This page will of course be kept updated always from time to time, and the list for now is small, but it will grow in time. Why am I setting such up a page … well because I wanna. It may be

When I was still competing, it was a trial and error process for me on what to consume. To me food is everything. People don’t realise that your diet dictates how your body will turn out. I put it as 70% diet and 30% training that makes one a HotBod. I learned by hard that
Well I was hoping to be back using Woodlands Stadium this January as I am currently planning my training schedule, but it seems the resurfacing completion date has been moved back. Woodlands Stadium it seems is closed from 6th Nov 2009 to 8th Feb 2010 for the resurfacing of its running track. I’ve trained here

How adorable is this. I want one too! A 12 week old Himalayan kitten “Pixi”. It’s been awhile since I had pets
My life these days is pretty much revolves around work … training, and nothing else. It’s sleep, work, eat, eat more, sleep, eat, train, eat, work, eat, eat again and back to sleep. The above lather, rinse, repeat over and over again daily. I could have easily gotten a 8-to-5 gig, and living the life

On December 26 five years ago, an undersea megathrust earthquake with an epicentre off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia struck, resulting in the Asian Tsunami 2004. Nearly 230,000 people perished in eleven countries, and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 meters (100 feet) high. It was one of the deadliest natural disasters
You know you’re truly a jock when your walls is stacked to the wall with RedBull. Holy Crapper!

The report are out on the annual academic performance of Singapore’s three main ethnic groups. It looks like the Malays students has mixed outcome, whilst the O-level passes is seeing encouraging results, Math it seem has always been an Achilles’ heel of many Malay students. PSLE English – 94% of Chinese, Malays and Indians earning

This is a rather satirical video below at the question being posed which is “How Melayu Are You?” I think it’s a good question, as does it mean you’re more of a Melayu just based on how well one converse in Bahasa. Or being Melayu is just more than language, but the continuation of practicing

I used to ponder over what kind of gifts to get my friends whenever their birthday approaches, but I’ve learned it’s better to just ask the birthday boy/girl what they want. Yes it might give away the element of surprise, but I find it’s wiser to be practical. You run the risk of buying something

I was looking at the video below and it struck me that the dude that had his PS3 destroyed by his girlfriend could be me literally! Set aside the notion if the video could be fake, but I reckon for most boys, we have video game addiction. It becomes a problem when our compulsive gaming

I’ve come to a conclusion that love is really blind after reading news reports that the number of Internet love scams are on the rise. A typical con would be the culprit befriending a single person on a dating site, and after some time corresponding between each other, the victim are asked to transfer money

It’s been reported that 71 per cent of Normal Academic 12,000 N Level student cohort will be promoted to Sec 5 Normal Academic this year, while 99.3 per cent of them were awarded the N-level certificate. It got me wondering what happens to the other 29 per cent and 0.7 per cent who stumbled, and

Avatar anyone? My friends and peeps have been raving about it, I’ve got to watch it. Hmm I can’t recall when was the last time I was at the movies. David Letterman “Avatar” Top Ten No. 3 should have been No. 1 on the list … haha
For me a downpour is only good if it serves its purpose for my own gratification, hehe … such as on a lazy slow day, or when I want to have a valid reason to skip a function. The NEA Meteorological Services Division says this weekend we’ll see a surge of the monsoon to intensify.

Create next year’s training plan workout. Catching up on my work, I’ve pile-ups. Finish up few remaining projects that was left neglected. Tweak my diet, I need more bulk. To forgive and forget. Buy a nice suit. Getting back on track to my usual eating ways, the past 3 weeks of reservist, screws the usual

The early Greeks once thought the universe an ornament ruled by harmony. It is with this harmony that men, society and natural world symbiotically exist. With the on-going UN climate conference, COP 15, this is an ideal time to pause and reflect. The question is … is it all just a global conspiracy, or is

Nah it’s not the name of my date, but a fast food restaurants recently re-opened again in Singapore after going defunct back in the year 2000. I’ve never really frequent the place back when it was opened. Now it’s back once again in Singapore. I’ve yet to visit the Lau Pa Sat branch which opened

I was reading the Straits Times a few days back about the state our Malay ITE dropouts which is alarming. I don’t have the exact figure, but the article didn’t seem encouraging enough. I would have thought the success rates of Malays students would have been better with the times. Now the ‘gahmen’ even are

Watch a short 5 minute video below by a nobody filmmaker, Uruguayan Federico Alvarez, that’s fast becoming an Internet sensation. This is how the movie War of the World (2005) should have been. Not about pretty face Tom Cruise who’s miscast, and the annoying Dakota Fanning who never stops screaming in the film. The clip

I came back from ICT, and this song is still stuck in my head till now as everyone was singing it in camp. Rah rah ah-ah-ah! Ro mah ro-mah-mah Gaga Ooh-la-la! I would be missing this year’s edition of ZoukOut … haiz. For those who are going, do have fun, and be ‘safe

I rarely get sick, it’s been four years plus now, but I do however get stomach upsets on occasion. And to think I’m having one now when I’m serving my ICT, bawak suey lah. Anyway I think I know why I do get such upset tummy ache… It’s because the amount of crap I consume

Be it work, school, or dating you’ll be meeting people from all walks of life, and that translate to either a golden opportunity for one self, or an encounter for which you might want to forget. If only more people are a little more bittersweet, and a little deeper in its feeling, and a little

The World Cup 2010 draw was held last 4th December, with Bafana Bafana hottie actress Charlize Theron present. People are saying that Group G that has Brazil, Ivory Coast, Portugal and North Korea is the group of death. I reckon Brazil and Portugal is the favorite to advance. While for me personally I’m rooting for

Finally two days of respite before going back to camp. Well I’ve lots to catch-up be it work or my fitness endeavors. But I’ll be sure to reserve a few hours of movie time. In my personal collection of movies, for which I’ve freakish and proudly cataloged, I’ve singled out my favorites for which I’ll

The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. Whenever it’s unfair to you, it’s fair to someone else however. That seems to be the way the world works. Life for me is filled with nothing but more questions. Where do I turn for answers? Well, I have nothing more to say… Michael
