busy busy busy busy busy

photoshoots, video shoots, edits, exports, more edits, more exports, and then edit again.

this cycle supposedly ends next Friday I think.

But damn I hope it continues on, in another place. Preferably Engineers. Do pray.

in other news. lots of challenges recently, it’s all in the mind I suppose, and how badly I want it, or don’t want it for that matter.

Xmas came super early this year.

And yes I’ll try my best to update more again.

A leader will always want to serve more, help more, be more humble than his/her subordinates. That’s why he/she is made a leader.

New found power, all willing to exercise them, but in the wrong environment. This is an office, not the battlefield. Read: Mutual respect.

Point: Even if it’s gets things done but causes people to disrespect you as a leader, is it worth it?

Ephesians 4:29

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

I’m quite in a.. “stone-mode” now actually. Maybe because “tiredness” is kicking in or something.

Currently on a “Update Address Book and iCal” project, which goes together with updating Facebook as well. Followed after would be a “Update MSN Contact List”. It’s mad. I just spent 3 hours, looking through names alphabetically, looking for suitable profile pictures for my address book, email details, updates etc etc. And I’ve just finished names that starts with “A”. At least those listed on Facebook.

Thought FB would be a nice place to start with seeing that most of us just add without thought. So the organizing now is a bit tedious as well. But no matter, guess it’ll be much better, in a sense now there’re lists that I can target invites to.

Of course my Address Book won’t contain all 1580 friends names that I have on FB. Just those I know personally or would wanna contact. And then again, it’s still a bit mad to search for all their names. Urgh. You should try this really.

.

Apparently, been getting quite a bit of hits following the “Child’s Eye Movie Review”, and since that post is currently the 7th search result in Google, guess that’s where most of the readers are coming from. The power of SEO.

.

Okay here’s an idea, for you and me. Since sometimes we don’t know what to blog or write about, here’s something that I found on Vivian’s blog. Thought it’ll be cool to uptake it. Though I’ve no idea whether I’ll even finish writing all that by the end of the year.

Basically it’s a list…

Seems like quite a bit, but that should be fun.

Enjoying the serenity of just sitting outside Starbucks (without coffee though), and watching the business of the city. Even at 11pm. It’s quite serene, despite the irony of it.

Though can someone enlighten me, why would someone search this term “chcngjgfgf” and end up on my blog. That’s quite. Interesting.

Need to actually find the proper time to clear out my table and hard drives. Organize them properly if you would. Or perhaps the right company to help me organize them would help too. It always does.

Admittedly, this is probably not a very good place to do work or write stuff. Too distracting. Some dude walking by a bit conky. A couple quarreling. an occasional car showing-off how loud his car can go. Not good. There’s the Bak Kut Teh near by though. But it’s closed. Probably come by again tmr.

Anyhow, I have to say, some of the clothing shops in Central do sell nice stuff. The dresses are actually really really nice. Don’t see any guy shops though, which is quite normal I guess. But there’re like racks and racks of dresses, tops, skirts and all. Some look weird, and off, like present-like. But other are just really formal, nice, something you’ll actually wear to say, a wedding?

Random: This dude just stopped in front of Starbucks and took at picture of the store front. Odd. He’s caucasian. Or perhaps he’s gonna send the photo back to where he came from with a loud caption like “TOLD YOU THEY HAD STARBUCKS IN SINGAPORE”. That’s just plain odd. And for the record, he didn’t even stop by for coffee.

Alright, enough with the random typing. Probably a couple of photos would spice things up, if I had them.

As promised. As far as possible. Daily posts.

And here’s the real difficulty. To find something that’s interesting or something that’s not too personal to put up.

Anyway, on this project initiative that I really hope can make it big. Been trying to experiment with e-commerece. System’s a bit tricky sometimes especially when it comes to payment modes. Most Singaporeans don’t really like to pay by card or PayPal do they? Or rather the younger group of online shoppers. Stuff like blogshops usually accept cash on delivery or more bank transfers than anything right? Hmm. Ideas?

Other than that. Pretty much enjoyed my week thus far. Caught up on a lot of sleep. And somehow I’ve got to think of magazine and newsletter designs. Fast. Otherwise I’ve probably have to go through another round of this dude who runs a task past someone who has no clue what to do. Oh wells. The life of media folks.

Yes I know it’s been a while since I said I would update.

And there’re valid reason why I’m not doing so either. Not implying that I won’t update anymore. Maybe perhaps I need more motivation to update stuff on the blog.

One of the main things is that, there’re too many things that are too sensitive to be posted online, especially on a blog. Of course most of us won’t give a crap about what we’re blogging. But blogging about what you do daily is just plain boring in my opinion. No one really wants to know when you bathed, or when you went to school or stuff like that right? Things like that are for, video logs, those kind that science labs make you take on a experimental drug lets say.

But then again, I’ll post everyday. Yes you read it right, everyday. Even if it’s a really short one. I’ll try to post something up. A picture, or a text, or something just damn plain interesting. And hopefully doesn’t rob too much of my time in the process as well.

Meanwhile, what awaits. It’s seems like I’ve taken on what others might call a Project365 thing. Hopefully it works out though.

Come on. Seriously? Burn a Quran/Koran day? What’s the matter with you?

It’s like them holding a “Burn a Bible Day” in their own countries.

.

What’s the point though? Even if it’s an issue with that mosque they wanna build near Ground Zero, why burn their holy book? I don’t get it, really.

Cos I mean, come on, if you have the brains, you would know that this whole terrorist thing is not about Muslims. Terrorists are terrorists and that’s that. It just so happens that the ones you geniuses caught have a darker skin tone. What if them terrorists were whites and blondes? You’re gonna blow up america then? Amazing.

And so much for the church preaching about love. Well done Terry Jones, you ding dong. I don’t really understand what’s the rationale behind burning a holy book or even inflicting hatred in others, and somehow I don’t think any other Christian would. There’s got to be a better way to handle a situation like this right?

Applause for the initiative to stand up for the Americans who oppose to the mosque near Ground Zero. Thought a bit of think through before actions would be greatly appreciated by all of us around the world. Freedom of speech much.

That tendency to think of stuff other than what you’re supposed to focus on or listen to. Probably something we had unfortunately learnt during our sec or poly days in school.

But it kinda makes life more exciting like that cos that’s where creativity comes from doesn’t it?

This day last year, saw something out of context during an event, but turns out to be quite a disappointment. Hmm. Creativity and hope.

Too many things to write, too little time. Hasn’t that always been the case?

Really envy people like Vivian See, whole like machiam blogging.Seriously super long posts with (tedious to put in) pictures, almost every other day too. Wow.

Anyhow, it’s always at this part that my brain will hang a bit, then hang a lot, then freeze. And I can’t think of anything to write anymore. Shucks.

Or should I just vomit everything out like what I used to do? But that would be just plain verbal diaherra. So what gives?

Hopefully I’ll have Internet this week. Can’t imagine myself without proper Internet for an entire week. And if you’re really free, please do sms me! I’m bored for 5 days a week!

Super mad long this place haven’t seen any updates. And somehow has become more of a “commercial-like” place instead of a personal blog. Hmm. What changes should I put or which direction should this go to?

Anyhow, I’ll try to post something up asap. Or maybe I should just dump the photos without any text.. That be good?
