The Perfect Curry Puff

Why do I love curry puffs? Why do I keep searching for the ideal curry puff? My memory of eating curry puff goes as far back to the time when I was 9 years old. I was in primary three then, in a neighbourhood primary school called Kebun Baru Primary School. It was a new school where I was the pioneer batch to have begun classes since Primary 1. During that time, the school building wasn't even ready and we had to put up at another school's premise. I remember soon after about a year or so, we moved into the new school building. It was fantastic because the new school compound was within short walking distance from our home. The only peeve was that getting to or away from my home to school required one to walk up/down a very long flight of steps, since our block of flats was situated on a pretty steep slope. I had counted 80 steps once. What comforted me was that I had the luxury of playing at a playground between my home and the school everyday with my neighbours before d

A new start

I just 'redesigned' the look and header of this blog. Some things are waiting to be shared but I need to think them through these few days while I wrap up my current projects ( http://www.facebook.com/sharehappySingapore ), and before I start on new ones (yes I already have work confirmed and lined up till end of October). For now, I shall talk about the movie INCEPTION and what it means to me. I watched INCEPTION yesterday and was inspired both personally and professionally. The story is an interesting one, to say the least. The plot engaging but I half suspect that a large number of Singaporeans may find it tedious, preferring popcorn fare such as Prince of Persia to this. This is not to say Singaporeans are generally lazy or stupid. Our lives sometimes just make us choose what is easier when picking entertainment, away from work's grind; without having to think so hard. Short of going into the a review and analysis of the film (for the review, you can find

Mushrooms by Sylvia Plath

Overnight, very Whitely, discreetly, Very quietly Our toes, our noses Take hold on the loam, Acquire the air. Nobody sees us, Stops us, betrays us; The small grains make room. Soft fists insist on Heaving the needles, The leafy bedding, Even the paving. Our hammers, our rams, Earless and eyeless, Perfectly voiceless, Widen the crannies, Shoulder through holes. We Diet on water, On crumbs of shadow, Bland-mannered, asking Little or nothing. So many of us! So many of us! We are shelves, we are Tables, we are meek, We are edible, Nudgers and shovers In spite of ourselves. Our kind multiplies: We shall by morning Inherit the earth. Our foot's in the door.

New Song

Wrote a new song yesterday using Finale Notepad. The title is tentatively called 'God be my guide', written for SATB with harp/keyboard accompaniment and an a cappella section. Hope to buy a midi keyboard soon so I don't have to write in note by note then

My MBTI

Image
I took this test when I was 17 years old. Now I'm 31. Some things never change, it seems. You Are An INTJ The Scientist You have a head for ideas - and you are good at improving systems. Logical and strategic, you prefer for everything in your life to be organized. You tend to be a bit skeptical. You're both critical of yourself and of others. Independent and stubborn, you tend to only befriend those who are a lot like you. In love, you are always striving to improve your relationship. You have strong ideas of what love should be like. At work, you excel in figuring out difficult tasks. People think of you as "the brain." You would make an excellent scientist, engineer, or programmer. How you see yourself: Reasonable, knowledgeable, and competent When other people don't get you, they see you as: Aloof, controlling, and insensitive What's Your Personality Type?

好久不见

I found this song accidentally, when a friend lent it to me by Eason Chan, whom I usually don't listen to. I found the words to be very meaningful and discovered that it was actually written by a Singaporean. 我来到你的城市, 走过你来时的路, 想象着没我的日子, 你是怎样的孤独。 拿着你给的照片, 熟悉的那一条街, 只是没了你的画面 我们回不到那天, 你会不会忽然的出现, 在街角的咖啡店, 我会带着笑脸, 挥手寒暄, 和你坐着聊聊天, 我多么想和你见一面, 看看你最近改变, 不再去说从前, 只是寒暄, 对你说一句, 只是说一句, 好久不见。 拿着你给的照片, 熟悉的那一条街, 只是没了你的画面, 我们回不到那天, 你会不会忽然的出现在街角的咖啡店, 我会带着笑脸, 挥手寒暄, 和你坐着聊聊天, 我多么想和你见一面, 看看你最近改变, 不再去说从前, 只是寒暄, 对你说一句, 只是说一句, 好久不见。 Sometimes I think about life and the people whom we meet, the times that has passed. I try to appreciate what I have before they are lost forever for one reason or another. I can be a very loyal person and sometimes too sentimental. When I listen to a song, I listen to it for it's lyrics for a few times, then it's construction in terms of progression, instrumentation, musical development and so on... I've listened to this song ad nausem for more than 150 times in le
