why does my life seem so hectic nowadays?

how does one strike a balance between work (in this case NS), love (bebs), family and "me" time?

how can i split my weekend into 3 parts?

does listening to people's problems affect you although there's nothing you can do?

how come some people seem to have it all yet seem to still be unhappy in life?

how is it that some people care so much, while others dont even give a damn about the same thing? is it fair for those who care?


the past 2 weeks have been shit for me. bebs says i seem distracted when i meet her. i dont know. i cant seem to help it. i just seem to loose my focus in life nowadays. im sorry bebs. i know i havent been good to you.

in typical fashion of a lazy person, i shall choose to do a photo update instead of a writeup of my past 3 weeks or so.

last week (5th Jan) [the day it snowed in singapore]

today (11th jan) [the day of the new camera]

self portrait mode (nice, i like [in Borat style])
my new love, toffee bits brownie.

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated , "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments , General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part, esp 7th point):

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.


5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.


6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed an Illegal Operation" warning light.

7. The airbag system would ask, "Are you sure?" before deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.


9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.


10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.
