This will be the penultimate entry on this blog. There really isn't a reason to continue any more now that life's taken a different turn for me. Consider this everything I could have, and should have, said before everything became different. Thank you. Thank you for being my best friend for the last eight years, seven and a half of which was the happiest I've been in a long time. Thank you for

I should have done today: 5. Get the hair cut. It's about four weeks overdue and way too many people have asked if I'm planning to grow it out again. And I don't like looking like a toilet brush. 4. Woken up later. Had too much to drink last night (see point no. 2) but wanted to be a little more productive. Oy. 3. More work-related stuff instead of spending most of the afternoon on Call of Duty

If you were there on the opening of the Remembering Tsunami show on 21 December, then you'll already know about the plans to have a photographer's forum at the gallery every once in a while. I'll be involved in the first one (along with some of the others who had their works shown on the 21st, of course), details follow:Topic: Photographing Grief: Regarding the Pain of OthersVenue: Kay Ngee Tan

I've been on a Manchester United mailing list for the last ten years (ever since I moved to Canada for four years of mugging and hockey and sororities) because coverage over there isn't as extensive as I would've liked.

At about 4 am this morning, when I was still awake and on WOW, I thought I felt the room I was in sway a little. I looked over at the wooden window blinds immediately and they were moving slightly. Then I told myself I've been awake more than 23 hours. I was preparing for the Remembering Tsunami show. I was grumpy. I had just put my foot in my mouth over multiple open MSN chats. It couldn't be

When one is suffering from yet another bout of insomnia. It's worse when said one doesn't have his laptop with him so that at least he could go raiding on WoW. It's pretty pathetic, when one, in an attempt to be more productive, goes out in the middle of the night to 'shoot something' and realises that he has absolutely no idea what he's out shooting. In the end, all one does is to get dressed up

Director for one of the films gets up before the the announcement of the winner of the Best Actress award and moves to the end of the row of seats to wait for the name to be announced. 2.

It's kinda strange to be at home on a Thursday night... can't remember the last time that happened. So strange that I was watching the heresy that is The Amazing Race Asia. Still bad. Still won't watch it. Not unless there isn't anything else on TV.

In the studio now, going through the language for the subtitles for the feature-length version of the movie when it gets shown at the AFFF - where it is the Closing Film for the Festival and will be shown at the Arts House on 5 December, 7.30 pm.

So something before 12.34 pm yesterday, one of my quotations for a job was 'outbid by a very aggressive young photographer who is keen to build up his portfolio'. Outbid?Nah. I'm pretty sure it's more like 'underbid'. And 'keen to build up portfolio' sounds like said someone offered to do the job for free. Can't get more outbid than that, I suppose. Funny how it is that I lose jobs in Singapore

Now Cousin, we do the dance of joy!Yep, and all for the price of a 120 GB hard disk and two jugs of beer. Still much, much cheaper than the $480 the Apple Service Centre was asking for to replace my old 80 GB disk... Go figure.

Made the mistake of answering a doorbell in the afternoon yesterday. Since I wasn't expecting a package from Amazon, nor was I expecting a cheque in the mail for a job (most of them don't come via registered mail anyway), I should have known better than to get up from the couch where I had been watching The West Wing: Two Cathedrals. I opened the door, grumpy, bedraggled and nursing a pretty

So Ol' Reliable has decided, over the weekend, to give up the ghost. I was in the middle of a UBRS raid on WoW when everything locked up. Then six hours later, I managed to get it working again (using some rather unorthodox methods) enough to move most of my stuff over. Going to the Apple Service Centre today, I learn that it's either the OS or the harddisk that's corrupted and diagnostics will

Thank you. Thank you for proving once and for all, why it's fuckin' stressful to want to own a car and to drive oneself around in Singapore. Thank you for not giving way to someone trying to filter into your lane, even though with the light change everyone in the fucking line could have cleared the lights.

Been on the film set for the last two days, but even before that I've been stuck in between the pain of a writer's block and acute hypergraphia. But I'm glad to report that the movie is finally complete. (This season's worth of work, that is...) Episode 5 is up and running, by the way. Last night at 1 a.m., to be specific, was when we wrapped. It was another two hours before I finished

You know you're ready to quit the island when you come across this on a Saturday night: hundreds of morons stopped by the left side of the ECP, leading to the Rochor Road off-ramp, just to catch a glimpse of the fireworks. Get over it people. It's just bright lights in a darkened sky. Whack yourselves over the head with a two-by-four and you'll pretty much get the same thing. Which is probably

Always an interesting sociological study when one is standing at an intersection, such as the missus and I were, waiting for a pick-up (or in last night's case, for a cab), and other people come up to the same corner, because they're assuming that we're also waiting to cross the road, and wait along with us. And even when the traffic's slowed down enough that they could have made it across

Finally. After 550 images and 18.26 GB on my laptop (after processing), the shoot from hell is finally over. Not all a loss though. Got a new phone in the process, met some mighty cute talents on the shoot, got to go up to areas normally reserved for people in suits... Not all a waste. Just bleedin' frustrating.Now to get pissed drunk.

After the woefully inadequate time given for the recce and whatever else came as a result of it, today was supposed to be final day of shooting. But of course, this is also the time when everything, including the kitchen sink, hits the fan. We had just three shots to complete today. The weather started out fine. 'Glorious' is the word I'd use if I were in a better mood now. Then as we were making

Been thinking a lot more about the whole theft incident and something that the client said yesterday had been festering in my mind, only to be given an airing today:The client said something about someone else who works in the same area losing her phone as well. Said it as a matter of fact, and stated matter of factly. Which got me thinking: you have staff losing their things, but no one's done

I lost my mobile phone today. Yeah, the one I've been complaining about to everyone who still cares to listen. The one that doesn't take photos when it's supposed to because somehow 'the phone's memory is full; please close some applications before trying again.' The one whose buttons don't work all the time. And the one with the really, really unintuitive interface. Truth be told, good riddance.

It isn't every day that someone who looks like a female version of Hurley from Lost comes up to me at the front of the taxi queue outside the Peninsula Plaza mall, after having gone through the four people behind me to ask for $2 for a bus ride, to give me my time in her limelight and ask for the same $2.

You see a van with the religious organisation it's affiliated to printed in big, bold letters (and Chinese characters) pull up to the kerb in front of you. It is 11:47 in the morning and it's perhaps after a mid-week service and the religious organisation is perhaps providing a service, returning elderly parishioners to their residences. There are five women in the van: one, the driver, looks to

Or was. As an addendum to my previous post:Took more a few cabs between July 10 and now, and there's been an increase of $3 per trip across the board (before the prime time surcharge and booking fees - not that I've done any booking since Black Monday). Waiting at the traffic intersection at Suntec saw my meter jump from $8.10 to $8.60 by the time I got to the right turn into Raffles Road.

It must really suck to be urgently trying to get in touch with someone, but because you have an unlisted number and I, for various reasons (I was asleep for the first call, in the shower for the second, and dealing with an unresponsive button for the third) wasn't able to pick up or to call you back. And all because you don't want to be star sixty-nined.

It's been a while since I've said anything about reasons why I wouldn't want to remain in this country for too long - over 2 years, to be just a little more precise. It's been the missus who's been doing the bulk of it, most recently with this one.So here we go again:It's been untenable for a long time now; thinking about staying here and then retiring at 62, with the piddly amount of CPF savings

I don't think so. So apparently the cards issued by a bank hasn't undergone any change from the time I got my first credit from them ten years ago - this despite the fact that I've used that card pretty much the same way and it lasted until it was time to get a replacement because it's expired.This latest one lasted me six months: the plastic laminate has come off the front, the magnetic strip's

"... whatever card also can! As long as there's a card!"There are reasons why I'm becoming more and more of a curmudgeon as I grow older.

They can build and 'upgrade' flats to have the lifts stop at every floor, but they also build multi-storey car parks in these estates that still make people climb up to a maximum of 5 floors to get to their cars.

No, let me rephrase that: Fucktards Paymasters.I just got a call telling me that a three-day recce of 27 locations has just been reduced to just two days. Two days. It was already difficult enough having just three days for 27 locations... But no, two (TWO!) fuckin' days. You know what?

For anyone who's been watching the World Cup on the PPV channels (that's 27 and 28) you'll probably have come across the really horrendous ads paid for by Audio House where the-monotonous-guy-who-is-every-Oral-Examiner's-nightmare rattles off a whole list of words (I don't even deign to call them sentences because there doesn't seem to be any punctuation at all) and seems to be selling '

Don't think I'd be able to write about this trip the way I do whenever I'm on assignment in a disaster zone. But at least I have highlights to crow about:# 10:Cute Femalefolk. What can I say?

And maybe I can think about whether or not I want to join the next trip down to another disaster zone. Was dreading it when I was asked, before the Japan trip, whether I'd be interested in joining the recce team to head down to Merapi in Java. It's a challenge, to be sure. Going to a place where an earthquake or tsunami struck is one thing - the chances of another one hitting the area are so

You know what? The telephone isn't a brand new invention. It's been around for a while. And because it wasn't something that was created in Singapore, it means that there are certain modes of etiquette one should observe when conversing over long distances. Trust Western civilisation to do something like that. If it were a uniquely Singaporean thing, we'd been hauled to court for phone rage long

Staying in the whole day today... Can't say no to Jack Black on cable TV.It's surreal to be watching School of Rock in Japanese though.Will go out later; to meet with Beeker, Eh-bee and assorted others for a night out on the town before the first batch of us start our 7+ hour flights back to Singapore. Can't believe there's only three days left to this holiday.
