THE end of the world...

At least thats what i thought it was... when i heard the thunderous ROAR coming from downstairs at 5 pass midnight....

The outer brick wall surrounding my house garden COLLAPSED!!!
10-15 meters of it!!
looks like terrorist attack like that... at least thats wat it sounds like when it collapsed.... i thunderous ROAR!



I dont think its a terrorist attack... at least no one has claimed responsibility of the blast..........yet.....

Nah!


The soil couldnt take the weight... apperently.. the previous owner didnt build it with foundation... so i guess after so many years of sun and rain.. the soild finally gave way......

The wall fell towards the outside and luckily, reached the other side of the canal.. forming a bridge in some sense... but i dont know how much longer it can sustain its structural integrity. I hope it doesnt crumble and falls into the canal... or else i believe ministry of environment would have something to say about it.

Job Hunting ~ Day 1

YEAH! The FIRST day of my job searching just ended! Job hunting is HARD work!

Am not exactly sure what I wanna do with my life yet... but i think i will be attempting to apply for jobs from the Financial, Marketing, Engineering and maybe even event organisation industry.

But with ZERO experience, its kind hard to get an interview. Will just send them out and see how it goes. And about the internet making things easier for online job application. I think its bull! It seems to be extremely user unfriendly. After 2 hours with meddling with it, I've decided to just go ahead and send physical copies of my resume instead.

Just became 20 bucks poorer getting ink catriage for my printer, a stack of printing paper, and some envelops (30cents each?! its just folded paper!!).

Dengue again?!

I have been bitten twice by a mosquito today... and when i finally manage to kill it.. i saw black and white strips on it legs.. An Aedes aegypti (a.k.a. Aedes mosquito).

Its been said that if you get contract dengue fever the second time... it could be fatal. Heres why.

"Dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) are caused by one of four closely related, but antigenically distinct, virus serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4), of the genus Flavivirus. Infection with one of these serotypes does not provide cross-protective immunity. "
~CDC

Being immune to one virus, the body might think it is immune to the others as well, when it is not. So the immnue system might not recognise the other viruses and leave the victim helpless to the attack.

As of lately, the number of people contracting this dengue fever has shot up from a 136 to 300 cases per WEEK. The things we all take for granted. Lets just hope I dont end up in the CDC bed one more time.

physics.. hmmmm

Impulse = Change in Momentum = Force x Duration of Impact

or

Force = Change in Momentum / Duration of Impact

To minimise damage on the body, is how to minimise force or extend duration of impact.

Draft 4...Hajime!

The Return of Draft 3....

Now the Revenge of draft 4 begins...

A new hope?

words on paper

Georgie Lacus mentioned that he chose singapore to locate his animation studio so as to "take advantage of symbolic meshing of creative talents from the east and the west".... does this mean jedis would run about in sarongs and dark sith lords will have cool tatoos and curse the jedi in hokkien? COol! Cant wait!

Tay Yek Keak's comments in the 'Life' section of ST regarding The War Of the Worlds (a.k.a. WOW) was a RIOT! hahaha.. its been a long time since I laughed so loud. Or maybe its just our shared sense of humor...

I love the Sky




I love the sky.
As I look up into the skies... the vast, endless skies...
i realise there is more to life,
and how small we, and our problems are.
That... there is still HOPE,
under this endless sky.
