Random Day with Qing Ai De


    wakeboard sunday and i was snap happy. hung out with that qingaide and we were amazed by how much alike we are. learning about another is always interesting. (P/S : qingaide is not my bf). like kids we dared each other to dip walk (imagine us bend ur knees as make every step), all the way to cineleisure to get movie tix, and becos both of us did it throughout (yes with people staring and laughing along the way, i am game enough to not care how people look at us), non of us got a free movie and dinner after. damn i should win this.

    to sum it up, it was a very good day.

    wakeboard/kinokuniya (bought a book from Ian Jeffery about reading famous photographs)/coffee club express (topic of new muse)/movies (17 again was quite funny)/pastamania (i dun undertand why i still go after the 2635th time i complained it sucks, see how easy i am with food)/sat under cineleisure(i got to know a secret)/random suggestion to walk along orchard road/sat at some random building and chatted throughout the night (all oh so random)

    random series of events, and not so random coincindence on many similarities we shared. i found my new buddy and have him added on my list.

Asia's Best Young Entrepreneurs 2008


    i'm a lil late to be announcing this, but with since i have my embaressing story to share (yes i lost my mobile twice this year), i thought this business idea caters to those (who are like me), who unvolunteerily cultivated such bad habits to lose their mobile phones too much too often (it was said that i could even loose my head if i had it is screwed on my neck. :P).

    i was lucky that for the 2nd time this year, kind hearted souls actually retruned me my mobile. we all know that mobile phones in singapore are like the cheapest gadgets to play with, so its really the contacts in the sim card that is what seems to be more important. yes, i never back up and i will always say i will soon, but it still wont happen anytime soon. :P

    and voila! here could just be our saviour.

    Darius Cheung, Varun Chatterji, Rishi Israni, Indradeep Biswas
    Ages: 27, 28, 26, 25Company: tenCube

    "A simple idea goes a long way for these young entrepreneurs in Singapore. When one of their co-founders keep losing his mobile phone, the team got together to find a solution to this familiar problem. tenCube now develops and sells leading mobile-phone security software called WaveSecure. Among other features, WaveSecure allows you to lock your phone remotely, track usage of the device, back up data through the Web, and remotely wipe your private data off the phone even after you lose it. The company boasts high-profile clients such as the Singapore Police Force and the Singapore Defense Ministry. The consumer version of WaveSecure proved to be very popular when it was launched in December 2007, the company had 60,000 WaveSecure users within 90 days of its launch; it has since been adopted by leading brands such as Nokia and Telenor to secure their users' mobile devices. The team is made up of graduates of the National University of Singapore."

黎礎寧 - Save Me From Myself.









    i chanced upon this video some months back when the competition was still on, and i was impressed and in awed with her voice since.

    i went on youtube just to hear her again, and this time, i was in shocked by her fans who commented on the clip. whatever went through her mind before, i hope she found peace now. my condolences.

    read here for news.

    this song that i remembered her of..ironic isn't it.

    such a pity.

Ryoichi Aratani





    it doesnt matter we don't share the same language, coming from diversify backgrounds, photography brings togetherness in its most unique way, and thats how i started the passion for it. though the website is in japanese, click on the images for more under each category. More can be seen here .

Bill Schwab.








    he quoted Patterns..

    ". . . And the pattern still remains on the wall where darkness fell,
    And it's fitting that it should, for in darkness I must dwell.
    Like the color of my skin, or the day that I grow old,
    My life is made of patterns that can scarcely be controlled."

    ..    by Simon and Garfunkel, 1965 ..

    and it makes everything else more beautiful. :)


    i like his work straight away, as i could see what i also had in mind for what i wanted to do, from his series of work, but now i need to find my way out of following his path (because he already did the same project), and the challenge is for me to bring out a different perspectives. nonetheless, his work has been very inspiring.

    he said..

    “I started out idolizing Ansel Adams and those photographers then grew bored with their work and now I love it and I see fully what they were trying to do. We can’t all go out and take Ansel Adams photographs because we’re not all Ansel Adams. I had to go through all these steps to find my own vision. I’m still finding it- constantly.”

    i could not agree more.

    she said that photography performed from the heart captures the truth. her work on flowers i feel so strongly over. (more here.)
    and they took my heart away. .

GISELE BÜNDCHEN on GQ




    gisele bündchen is writhing on the sheets of a bed in one of those airplane-hangar-sized New York City photography studios. now I’m not a huge fan of Gisele’s visage, but she does have one of the most rocking bodies I’ve ever seen (yeah, you prolly have a higher chance catching me oogling at women than a men. that must be a known already if you know me. *winks*)

    beware for it's hot hOT HOT.

    youtube doesn't have the high res video, so for an ultimate eggsellent viewing pleasure for all my avid readers, please go here.


    there's no need to thank me really, although it would be nice. muahaha.

Jie Jie and Junior




    this was taken sometime back when we went for our family trip in bangkok sometime last year. the duo were eager to get in touch with the world on the other side once we touched down to bkk. i took some snaps and couldn't help but wonder, how we all have become victims of technologies.

    ********
    feeling dodgy on a scale of 7 out of 10. zouk last night and hung out at the pool till 6am. we must be mad. i rem the sun was up when i went to bed this morning, yeah, we crawled back to bed in the most patheitc way you can imagine. almost delirious. partying like no tomorrow can be as good as dead the day after. i asked myself if i will do it again, but being a big kid as my bunny self i really don't see why life can't be as crazy and fun. :P
