O Kara no Hajimaru
02_0_Kara_No_Hajimari.mp3 Listen on Posterous One of the nicest songs I’ve heard thus far. It’s so soothing…
Black Pigs
Couldn’t resist the chance to add in a post title with a racist connotation, though it in fact refers to the main ingredient in the meal shown above. Went down to Tampopo at Takashimaya for lunch, and naturally when you are Tampopo you either eat their Tonkatsu, or you have their black pig ramen. Only #epicfail that happened today was when we realized that the restaurant had opened a...
Pain
I’m no stranger to it. I’ve probably grown up with it but never really put a name to it. Then as you grow older, like all things, it matures. So you learn to block it all out. Wrap it up every time it comes, cast it into a corner and wish it away. Ignore it, because somehow or rather, one convinces oneself that by ignoring something, you can will its very existence out of your world. ...

Banana Ice Cream
via 30.media.tumblr.com I never really got over my fear of bananas after my research project in Y1/2, but this has got to be the best take on banana ice cream thus far.
The Swan Song
via 24.media.tumblr.com I am going to get into an accident very soon. I am currently at the stage where I consider it a major achievement to commute without fainting.
Invincibility
via 28.media.tumblr.com There’s this song making the hits of late, has some lyrics about being strong and whatnot. But if the above is true, then does that give us a reason to be weak?
TMFI
via 27.media.tumblr.com I now have a new official abbreviation - TMFI. What it says.
Nissan GTR GT-3
via nismo.co.jp The latest iteration in the Nissan GTR series. Admittedly after doing coming to half a year of tech work, the more I look at this fella, the more I want to buy it. 3.8L V6 semi-automatic twin-turbo is My only complain, coming from being used to driving vehicles with high road clearance, is that you can’t exactly drive over stuff with this. That, and why is it only...
Bad Apple
via youtube.com For the uninitiated, this song is sort of a Japanese meme - it came from a game known as Touhou Project. It’s basically a top-down bullet shooter game made by a single man production team. But it also pretty much sums up what life currently is. As they say, in the game of Thrones, you either win or you die. I hope I don’t die first.

I'm Going to Give Up
No, the title’s merely there because the post before this says “I Won’t Give Up” and I can’t think of a good title for this post. 8 months on, and I’m wondering how people make the full two years. It’s driving me totally crazy, inside and outside. And see, this is what happens everytime I try to tell anyone at home how I feel about something. It’s...

Trust No One
via 28.media.tumblr.com Because if something is so difficult and so big that it needs a group to handle it, you will inadvertently find that you can break it down into smaller projects that can be handled by an individual. Clearly the people that came up with the nonsensical concept of problem-based learning and project work, despite having degrees and doctorates in psychology and...
Them Belts
via tinglondon.com Flooring panels made from vintage leather belts. If I had the money to afford this kind of thing I would so tile my study room with them.
The Temple of Lightning
Managed to schedule a trip to a place which holds many memories for me. It’s also one of the few parts of my very short past that haven’t crossed paths with the people I interact with regularly, yet it’s this very place that that both holds me back and keeps me going. If you, then good for you. If you don’t, and if you ask me and I do tell you, then yeah. It’s been...

via youtube.com It doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone. Or does it?
The Measure
How do you tell if you’re good at something? The measure of ability, after all, is simply a measure of how much more you can provide, comparative to others, in terms of quality or quantity. I think it’s simple. Find the people whom you think are good. Find the people whom everyone concurs are good. Will they work with you, will they work for you, or will you have to work for them?

The 'AGM'
See the full gallery on Posterous Today was possibly one of the most awesome days in the year. First was heading back to office for lunch and the company’s AGM. Think we managed to bring together almost all the staff that were either in Singapore or passing through for winter break. It’s a humbling experience, really, to meet and work with a bunch of people who embody what it...
Tonight I'm Fucking You
via youtube.com I’m keeping this song in mind for an appropriate situation. In particular, the following lines: Here’s the situation Been to every nation Nobody’s ever made me feel the way that you do You know my motivation Given my reputation Please excuse I don’t mean to be rude But tonight I’m fucking you
Ethics
via 30.media.tumblr.com Is exactly what is going through my mind right now, and will probably sprint through it again a million times for the remaining 1 year 4 months of my service. Today my warrant officer came running for help replying to a statement issued by auditors. I did it up for him nicely, and probably saved some part of his ass in the process. It’s not the first time, and...
1Q84
You couldn’t begin to imagine who I am, where I’m going or what I’m about to do. All of you are trapped here. You can’t go anywhere, forward or back. But I’m not like you. I have work to do. I have a mission to accomplish. And so, with your permission, I shall move ahead. - Murakami, 1Q84 So we’ll find out tomorrow exactly what all of this means. The only...

The Ultimate Hamburger
via youtube.com Modernist Cuisine decided to apply Science to the common hamburger, and they somehow managed to conclude that cooking a beef patty at 53 degrees C for a while, then flash cooling it in liquid nitrogen, followed by flash frying it in hot oil (so termed cryofrying) contributes to the best type of hamburger. Now I actually want to eat one of these, if it doesn’t cost a...

Sukiya

More Lessons from Ice Skating
Knowing how to go forwards and backwards is never enough. The trick is in changing direction at will. The more stable you are, the harder it is to make a turn, and consequently, to avoid danger. It is never too crowded. It all depends on how fast you are moving. If you turn just before hitting the wall, you will stop without making a din. If you can’t turn in one direction, keep turning...
