My Singapore My Home ~ 1990s Singapore Singapore 2013 Magnificent view isn't it? Scroll back and look at how we were during the 1990s, the river banks in front of all the major buildings were reclaimed, and now stood the Marina Bay Sands resort, the Marina Bay Sands Exhibition Centre, the Singapore Flyer, and the Louis Vuitton boutique on the floating platform. Most Asean countries would be so so so impress and yearn to be Singapore, but do they know what price do these came for? Singapore holds the 1. number of Ferraris per capita 2. Highest private wealth per capita 3. 3rd lowest landspace per capita 4. 3rd richest country by GDP in 2012 5. Best Airport in the world These are impressive feat considering a small country like us, without any natural resources, and I'll agree with that. Yet one must remember, everything comes at a price, cause and effect, the law of balance. And i quote " Singaporeans were apparently less upbeat than the people ...

Growing up

I guessed i pretty much, never ever grew up... hmmm ? From when I was 16 - 20yrs old thereabouts? I became "wiser", in short, i stop being "competitive", stop trying to be the "best" because what the world deemed as "the best" ain't what's "best" for me. I walked away. I became younger, much more like a youth then a young adult. I became a fanboy, stalking twitter pages, instagram updates, limited edition cds... I still keep buying Gloomy Bear figurines and soft toys, I recently became so addicted to Pororo!! I started to fulfill my "dream room" when I first envision that in my teens. Well I didn't have any income, and I was attached, which made it almost impossible to even buy a keyboard for myself, let alone the whole stereo system. I never fall in love with older women, I just adore them. I still yearn for the type of relationship where we come together to bicker, to do silly stuffs...

Season Opener 2013/2014

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the season opener of the Barclays Premier League 2013/2014 !! As you all know, Football is my RELIGION and hence this moment to many, is as sacred as any other occasions. The "Stadium". A modest 3 room flat equipped with the Singtel Mio HD setop box, a Bose soundsystem (*vomits* money could've spent better elsewhere) and a Sharp Quattron FullHD 70" LED TV, delivered on the day itself. This was no thanks to my God Mother, Wen Bin ~ Of course my other mom, her other half, Annie Yeo too! Dinner was serve before the match, a humble "take-away" Indian "Rojak". Why takeaways? Our yeast couldn't raise our dough for pizza, wasted 3 full packs, WHAHAHHA !!  Maple-syrup glazed chicken wings, 6/10, didn't marinate long enough  The booze, Bacardi Breezer Lime, Hoegarden and my favourite Ginger Beer!!  Our cheese dip in progress Almost finishing! Gotta love the size of the TV, ...

Kpop craze

I do not buy CDs just to rip them into mp3s and chuck em aside. I rip them into mp3 for my portables, listen to the impeccable CD quality via dedicated CDP and I adore the album art, posters, cards... Miss HyunA in the building, my favourite solo album!! Not only was the MV out of this world HOT, her image,  her voice, the rendition and the track listing were beyond expectations after her successful Digital Single "Change". I wonder if Cube or Hyuna manages to toy around her sexy yet adorable image on a very fine line next to degrading-ly sluttish. Anyhow track no. 4 A Bitter Day, a duet with G.NA, another sexy diva balances this album really well.   Elly Seo In Young's first album, Elly is Cinderella, title song "Cinderella" swept charts overnight. Just adore the design on the album covers, speechless. The first solo female artist I fell head over heels for, no thanks to Tracy's recommendation of watching Heroes! /me points finger to noonA ...

Tube Amp ?

Dared MP-5 tubes glowing upon powered after warming up for 30minutes Tube Pre-Amplifiers. As the term suggests, they use vacuum tubes to output signal. The above a Shuguang Cateye power output (Green) and the Matshisuta 12AX7 Pre-amp tubes (Orange). Amplifiers as the term suggests, increases the wavelength by it's height, hence increasing volume or power, to drive speakers or headphones due to their resistivity, often measured in Ohms. Pre? so it's the stage before the main amp or the power amps, hence it comes with the volume attenuator to control the volume. Here's the Dared MP-5 Connected from my Citypulse DAC (Digital Audio Converter), output to my AKG K601 headphones. The black blocks holds the transformer, used to transmit and utilize the power. The black cage house my power and pre amp tubes. Dared MP-5 with my AKG K601 on Crossroads woody stand. Check out the tubes without the cage, pretty dangerous though, they go as high as 70 degrees celsiu...

end of drought ~

4 match goal drought ended. Like the name implies, goal-less streak is off. No thanks to my new pair of Mizuno boots. Mizuno Supersonic Wave 3 MD Super-Wide. I'm wearing a US9.0 or UK10.0 or Korean 270 ONLY for football boots where I require the perfect fit. I'm on a US9.5 for other court shoes or sneakers, and US10 for other casual / work shoes. Anyhow here are the stats. Shot at goal: 15 Shot on target: 11 Goals: 2 Clear cut chances: 4  Pretty awesome on target rate of >70% eh? Aha, I'm playing on a Futsal 5 v 5 Turf, hence it's easy. I was pretty depressed the last few games without goals, because my other pair was too tight upfront and I'm having dead toe nails on both foot, as well as blisters. Feels really good to be back!
