snippets of the british club

was there with fiona to listen to fredrik haren's presentation :)
some stuff i may have heard before but each time, there are new observations and discoveries
incidentally, the finnish ambassador to sg was there for the talk as well

if you had been to the brink, you'll understand...

it seems like this was her song before her final moments

there are those who cannot understand why someone will choose to end their life over matters which they think may be trivial, but if you had been to the brink, you would understand... it doesnt mean that person is not strong but sometimes, when one has to continuously be strong in the eyes of others, they will cave. there are 2 sides to everyone. the face i put forth to the world outside is not the same as the face when i'm by myself. there needs to be a balance and when that balance falters, we become susceptible.

yes, it is a pity that melissa toh of temasek poly ended life because she is no longer around to bring joy to the people around her and contribute her talent to the world.

may angels lead you on, melissa.
continue to bring joy to the heavens for you will no longer feel the dreaded sadness within you...

good over evil?

this day in history...

29 April 1945 - Liberation Day at Dachau
"At 9:30 on the morning of April 29, 1945, the tanks of US 101st Tank Battalion reached the gates of the Dachau Concentration Camp, ending twelve years of forced captivity for the survivors of over two hundred thousand of Germany's "enemies of the state."

A moving scene in the episode of CSI: N.Y., “Yahrzeit,” written by Barbie Kligman and Peter Lenkov.

“As the number of survivors dwindle, Peter and I both feel the subject is more important than ever, particularly in terms of enlightening a new generation,” wrote Kligman.

this song was playing when in liang court today :)

penitence or spiritual possession?

Convicted forger A. Schiller was serving his time in Sing Sing prison in the late 1800s when guards found him dead in his cell. On his body they found seven regular straight pins whose heads measured the typical 47/1000ths of an inch or 1.17 millimeters in diameter. Under 500 magnification it was found that the tiny etchings seen on the heads of the pins were the words to The Lord's Prayer, which is 65 words and 254 letters long. Of the seven pins, six were silver and one was gold - the gold pin's prayer was flawless and a true masterpiece. Schiller had spent the last 25 years of his life creating the pins, using a tool too small to be seen by the naked eye. It is estimated that it took 1,863 sepatate carving strokes to make it. Schiller went blind because of his artwork.

where's music station???

used to catch music station on tv many years back on the regular tv channel but cant seem to find it now on cable =p

it is hosted by this uncle called tamori and there would be an accompanying young female host... most jap singers/bands made their debut on this show!

specially like the 'you are the thunder...' part :)

the phone for hr&admin? ;)

shuying got this phone and it seems that serene and jh wants to get it and they hope to get me to change to this as well *grinz*
the white version seems nice heh

this is definitely better than first thai!

had dinner with tee earlier at lerk thai :)
he had wanted to try the baba king nonya deli but as we entered the place, the staff informed that they were closed! it was 8.15pm! it seems there were some screw up cos when tee called them, they said they close at 9pm... oh well *shrugs*
(btw, dragon says the food at baba king is so-so though...)

anyway, we were lucky lerk thai welcomed us though they close at 8.30pm :)
first thai at purvis street is definitely overrated!
pricey mediocre food with sucky service *grunt*
