And I dreamed I saw the bombers...

Posted 2006-08-12 (土) 午前12:24 by terra

“And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation”
—Stardust, Joni Mitchell

What a wonderful evening, watching an amazing display of fireworks light up the night sky as we sat close to the edge of the waters along Marina Bay! Never mind the slightly muddy field that we had to tread through, nor the 1 hour travel home in what would have been a 1/2 hour journey under normal traffic conditions. It was certainly worth the price to pay for those glorious ten minutes.

And a comforting piece of news to complement the day. ^___^

よく頑張ったね。
もっと頑張ってほしい。
 早く治せ！

I chanced upon this site through a most unflattering manner: tomorrow.sg > sgforums. Me and 傑儀 had a good laugh over some of the comments on Singapore: some are totally off (e.g. death penalty for pornography… I’m just assuming he was kidding), but some ring all too true (“Surrounded by artificially ‘ordered’ parks, its tall housing projects are populated by more than 80% of the population - whose smiling native charms often belie underlying tensions of the way the island is progressing after 30 years of development.”).

However, what really drew me to the site is the multitude of photos of Tokyo 東京. I love Tokyo; it’s the most facinating city I’ve been to and my biggest regret is not having taken enough pictures in my recent visit there. The site photo-chronicles most of the places I visited (and didn’t). There are some really nice photos in there. One should check it out if one has the chance (both the site as well as the actual city).

Express Queues?

Posted 2005-06-09 (木) 午前2:19 by terra

Something I’ve been seeing at the Isetan supermarket every Wednesday when I go for my regular Japanese class: whenever customers with 1-2 items make their way to the payment counters, they seem to immediately head towards the only express counter in the supermart, despite the obviously long queue, even though the regular payment counters are free. This is a society where we’re so anal about ‘obeying’ signs that we don’t seem to use our eyes and heads to judge anymore.

Disgust

Posted 2005-05-01 (日) 午後7:24 by terra

Some people seem to think that one can be so cheap as to be bought over by a couple of simple things such as dinner and drinks. They pretend to be nice but all they are are really wolves under sheep skins. These people sicken me.

What a terrible week to end the year for the regions in Asia as the devastating forces of the tsunamis (Japanese: 津波), triggered by a 9.0 earthquake in the west of Indonesia’s Sumatra, ravaged coastal regions, decimating villages, towns and tourist resorts in Sumatra, Malaysia, Thailand, the Maldives, India and Sri Lanka.

One of those nights where every little thing irks the hell out of you and you have no idea what’s bothering you and you just want to scream. >_<
