I wish…

Clouds

I wish that I’m sitting at the seaside looking at the blue sky with clouds passing by.  To feel the wind blow across my face, listening to the sound of the waves lapping across the beach and drinking a glass of ice cold lemonade…

I think I know why…

I think I know why my notebook died. I dropped it a couple of days ago… But it was wrapped in one of those spongy, shock absorbant thingies… So much for that…

Murphy’s Law…

First, my laptop died on me. Seems like a harddisk or processor problem. Next, my camera died on me as well. Seems like a CCD problem. Then one of my staff, didn’t die on me, but fell ill. All these in a week where I’ve got a hell lot of deadlines to meet. Sigh…

Nudge… Nudge…

The taxi I was in today got nudged in the back by a bus. Nothing serious. There were some slight scratches but nothing the taxi driver couldn’t resolve by a good wash.

The behaviour of the bus driver was quite ridiculous though, he was shouting at the taxi driver about not being able to see him etc…

Ridiculous! The cab was right in front of him and he couldn’t see it? If that’s the case he should be asked to stopped driving since he couldn’t see something so big in front of him.

The nerve of some people, bang someone in front of you and you dare claim that you can’t them? Sheesh…

Few and far between…

Posted in the usual by I@n

Updates are getting few and far between these days. Not just mine but those (blogs) that I read. Entries of interests are rare these days, not saying that mine’s interesting though, and most often the interesting ones degenerate to an online slugfest started by some freaks with a low sense of self esteem.

Why do people always want to turn something simple to something so complicated. A blog’s a blog, just let it be. Why has it got to be something blown out of proportion by some people who feel that they could get something (money, fame, control) out of this? Why turn it into a fad or fashion statement?

There are media players, entities and individuals alike that are trying to define blogs into something that will suit their needs but in the end, when you look at their so call blogs, they are nothing but news articles or publication articles. They are just calling it blogs to “keep up with the times”.

Can’t it stay as a simple means of communicating a thought here and there, a photo here and there or just a medium of sharing simple thoughts?

Just another rant…

World class public transport? Fuck it lah!!!

Flag cab, cab don’t stop.

On call sign, sure turn on.

Take bus, take train, such a drain.

Pack like sardines, feel like cussing.

Keep on driving, keep on paying.

Forgive the poor attempt above. Maybe someone can help me rephrase the above to something that rhymes… Our “World Class” transportation is killing my brain cells…

Spider… Legs… Crabs… Shells…

Posted in the usual by I@n

Talk about weird dreams.

A couple of nights ago, I had this strange dream. I dreamt that there was this giant spider on my cupboard door. Somehow I didn’t notice it and moved the fan in front of it and turn it on full blast.

4 of its legs were sucked into the fan and came out the front in pieces, then the spider itself got sucked into the fan and came out in pieces as well. Nothing slimey, just plain empty shell like stuff.

Suddenly, the scene changed. Now I’m in a very old place, somehow I knew it was a hospital. I took a lift, not knowing where I was going and then as I walked out the lift, I saw pieces of crab shells and legs in pieces lying all over the floor.

I woke up after this. Very weird that I still can remember it all.
