Perceptions are the truth

Focus.

What does it mean to you?

To the unitiated,

its the

1) the concentration of attention or energy on something

2) maximum clarity or distinctness of an image rendered by an optical system

3) special emphasis attached to something

Basically..

Its when you occupies your mind with one thought and that single thought only.

As easy as it sounds, not many of us have the ability to focus our mind on a single task. Alot of us tends to lose concentration after a definate period of time, read : lose interest.

Someone important and smart and very handsome (i would think) postulate that if we can focus our mind on one single task, then there is no task in the world that the human mind cannot achieve.

Oh well.... he obviously didnt know the meaning of 'straying'

Anyway. Heres some people who are 'focus' and determined and handsome.



Oppss...wrong pic. Handsome and sunburnt. Not exactly focused.



Focus posture no. 1



Focus posture no. 2



Focus posture no. 3



Focus posture no. 4



Focus posture no. 5



Focus posture no. 6



Focus posture no. 7



Focus posture no.8, errmm...well, Yes, draco is focus. Focus on cutting that piece of chicken heart. Nothing else occupies his mind..



Focus posture no. 9. This is 'God-Mode'. Theres nothing between Koala and that bowl of crab bee-hoon. I assure you, i tried calling out several times to Koala to look at me while i take the photo... He didnt respond at all. Single Minded. Oblivious. Focused.

Oh well...
Time for me to meditate.

I'll never be able to uncover such truths by myself. Im just a puny shrimp...puny brains. Cant think too hard. Will get headache. Hahahaaa......


Singaporeans have been complaining about how public transport cost has gone up significantly over the last decade BUT our dearest Public Transport Council/ Land Transport Authority have always rebut and said that only nominal amount has been added to our transportation costs in the last decade.

In fact, they went as far as

1) Publicizing the fare increases over the past decade
2) Deferring increases sometimes
3) Adding new improved services...dud.

However, in recent years, they have quietly sneak one in from behind the general public.. It has gone unnoticed because its a phenomenon thats happening quietly and in small proportion but very surely..

Put our hands together and let us all welcome the 'SONATAS'...

With a flag down rate of $2.70 ONLY!!!!

NOPE, don't worry, we still have lots of cedrics and crowns running around and their flag down rate is still$2.50.....READ : NO INCREASE (but they would have to fulfil the Euro Emission IV standards and theres no way in hell they can convert so i guess they would have to go at the end of their lifespan but if you can still find them, YOUR flagdown rate will still be at $2.50!)...

Oh well, there you go. I bet no one noticed that. It wasnt long ago when i ran into trouble with my old car and i had to sent it to the workshop for repair. I had my first Mecedes cab experience back then,flagdown rate was $2.40 (norm at that time before the increase). Strangely, they now have a different flagdown rate for different kind of cabs..

I guess this will go down as another reason to get a car. hahah.. make that a red one while you are at it.. =)

Another cold morning. Will blog more when i come back from my lor mee with the ginger bread man killer..

Silly things that people around the world do..

OPEC to Cut Production 1 Million Barrels of Oil Per Day !

Why?

ABUJA, Nigeria — OPEC has agreed to trim global oil production by 1 million barrels a day to boost prices, and its members were discussing how to share the cut, the cartel's president said Wednesday.

Theres no greed without power. Just 2 years back, crude oil was hovering around USD $30-40. Now, it has peaked at USD$75 just couple of months back.

Back then OPEC was happy selling oil at $30 per barrel but now, it wants to cut production to maintain the price at above $60.

Im not sure why they go through such trouble to maintain the prices above $60. The way i look at it, why dont OPEC just sell oil at $60 per barrel??! Citing supply and demand issues to pop up the prices dont make you look any less unscrupulous..

To hell with cartels..

As if we care about your morals..

A photo from the 2004 Tsunami.

Its been 2 years and its pictures like these that reminds us how trival our own problems can be.

I love being myself..

Speaking of which..



Would it be too much if i ask for the above next christmas?!

Time to go driving range!!

Shakira - Illegal

(featuring Carlos Santana)

Who would have thought
That you could hurt me
The way you've done it?
So deliberate, so determined

And since you have been gone
I bite my nails for days and hours
And question my own questions on and on

So tell me now, tell me now
Why you're so far away
When I'm still so close

You don't even know the meaning of the words “I'm sorry”
You said you would love me until you die
And as far as I know you're still alive, baby
You don't even know the meaning of the words “I'm sorry”
I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart

I tried so hard to be attentive
Do all you wanted
Always supportive, always patient
What did I do wrong?
I'm wondering for days and hours
It's here, it isn't here where you belong

Anyhow, anyhow
I wish you both all the best
I hope you get along

But you don't even know the meaning of the words “I'm sorry”
You said you would love me until you die
And as far as I know you're still alive, baby
You don't even know the meaning of the words “I'm sorry”
I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart

You don't even know the meaning of the words “I'm sorry”
You said you would love me until you die
And as far as I know you're still alive, baby
You don't even know the meaning of the words “I'm sorry”
I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart

Open heart
Open heart
It should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart

Open heart
Open heart
It should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart
-------------------------------

What about a man's heart?!
Then again, would sorry be enough?

Hope you guys are enjoying christmas. I just worked for 12 hours straight. Straight. Didnt even have time for lunch. =(

I must have been a bad boy for Santa to make me spend christmas this way. Hahah...

Hey all..

Merry Christmas.

I'll leave with something i read off a certain golfing forum.

Golf is like a love affair.
If you don't take it seriously, it's no fun; if you do take it seriously, it breaks your heart.

Be nice and good.
Regards

Hi all..

I've a new passion.
Oh well, lets not call it a new passion. Im just spending alot of time on it nowadays.

Golfing.

In fact, im so into it that im considering getting a set of clubs myself. Someday, i wanna grow up and be like Grace Park Greg Norman!

I wanna play professionally and i wanna earn the big bucks. Yes, im no longer going to be a millionaire through some lousy African Scam. Im sorry readers, i still love all of you..

And yes, Tennis is passe because i cannot find credible competitors. Soo..



My fav driving range. Free parking, cheap balls and lots of opportunities to see nice golfing ladies.



Speaking of which...NICE GOLFING LADIES. The one on the right pls. HAhah...
They were here for the LEXUS CUP 2006 recently.



Check her out.. In my opinion, much better than the 16 year old 'Wie'.



Pussy Tan taking a swing..



Kitty Lau getting ready..



It went very far...very very far.



Note the perfect posture. Hahaha... Read : 1 hell of a way to get a strained back.



View from the driving range. Standby for pics of the green. =)

Hey all..

Its christmas's eve's eve. Aint doing anything much a sat evening (not that i think i have any energy left) so i guess i'll blog....

Yes, im so tired now that im having prob keeping my eyes open. The only reason why im not in bed now is that my hair is wet and Mama says if i sleep with wet hair, i will get headache. hahah.. Im a good Mama's boy.

Went for Diablo's wedding treat yesterday followed by prawning till close to 3, had lessons at 10 this morning before meeting some of my uni friends to check out babies.. (yes, they sell them off the shelves now..) Will blog about everything but they will have to wait..becoz i still have to run through some photos that i took last month.. haha...

Im deadbeat.


Anyway..

Not too long ago,



I went Bintan! This was almost immediately after my vietnam trip. Hahah...Im on a tour spree..



Like i said...becoz i spent quite alot during my vietnam trip, i didnt have enough money for my Bintan trip. And becoz LeGoZ is super resourceful, i was able to get a super good deal on the return tickets to Bintan. I was feeling really good about myself till i got to the terminal...

Darn.



My friends before they found out about the ride they were taking. Obviously, everyone is smarting from the brillantly cheap tickets..



My friends after the boat ride... Obviously, i need new friends.



Max had to do this.. hahah... Reminiscence of Melbourne 2005.



They sent a welcome party!



Daniel and Max checking out the room..



Im not very sure why daniel paid special attention to the bathroom. Im still trying to find out.



Max needed a nap after the long journey.



Dinner time 1.



Dinner time 2.



Dinner time 3.



We had this buffeut dinner at the 'Kopitiam'. The theme that day was South China Sea..
Obviously... the food was all out at sea.



Close up of the food. I love these shots.



We did a spotcheck on daniel at 3am in the morning. He was errm...caught 'unprepared'. Apparently, we heard some giggles and some moanings but we didnt find anything except..



Its anybody's guess what daniel was doing.



Different people start their day differently. For some, they needed something more than coffee.. Hahah... No, i dun have anything against smokers.



Our dearest daniel enjoying the moment..



I start my day with eggs...



Lots of eggs.. ahahah..



Another way to start the day..



Thats Max with Sun block (SPF 4, sigh...).
Im not very sure what max was trying to do.. Ever wonder how some of us can do amazing things? How did Max manage the 'M' behind his back?



So we are all ready for Suntanning... but..

And so we went drinking..



Im Drunk..



Im Drunk too...



Im not Drunk..



I dont drink..

Hahaha...
More later..
