kit-kat break, mac breaks
once in a while, i remember that i have a little more than 5000 posts on google reader to be caught up on, so i go catch up and come across gems like this, courtesy of GeeksAreSexy.

, BT 
, touch screen 
, no Wi-fi lego, taiwan band, piracy
what do the 3 things have in common? read on…
doing some research for work, i came across this name, Jesper Just Jensen, director of lego serious play. naturally (but of course!!) something like this requires more serious research (it’s Lego!!!) so I googled for his name and hit upon this Play Up! interview conducted by pool magazine editor-in-chief Helmut Wolf.
He quotes Paulo Coelho (I’m having trouble finding the actual occurence of the quote) “a child can always teach an adult three things: being happy without reason, always being occupied with something and being emphatic about what you want”. the quote puts a smile on my face for 2 reasons: the first, I would like to be that. the second, and very dumb, reason, it brings to mind 5 taiwanese boys in particular. why? I’m sure a few of the mafia aka jm can tell u why
On another note, I wiki-ed Mr Coelho (not for the first time as I’ve been meaning to read The Alchemist for 2 years already), and find out that he’s an Advocate of Piracy!! woot!!
out of office, out of brain
brain not working properly recently. I turned on my ‘out of office’ message ytdy coz I was out on 1/2 day leave. While editing the message, I kept feeling that something was wrong with it, but for the life of me couldn’t put my finger on it.
this am my mgr asked me why my ‘out of office’ was still turned on. this is what it read:
I will be out of the office on the afternoon of 4 Feb with limited access to my emails. I will reply to your queries once I am back in the office on 5 Feb. I apologize for any inconvenience caused.
very inconvenient indeed.
methinks it’s time for a holiday!
days like these
it’s been raining again for a few days, so our island has cooled down a bit. of course, it’s not so cold that somebody has to wear a brown polar bear like jacket, and wrap himself around his pals hehe. i like it when it’’s cool and cloudy in the mornings, and the sun doesn’t come out to burn away the slight mist that hangs over the island. days like these, i wish i could slow down, take a day off work and go around singapore with a camera in the peaceful hours before the workday rush begins. it brings to mind my primary school days in that old kampong school, where early morning PE lessons meant getting white school shoes grey, damp and cool with the dew on the grass, and you couldn’t see to the other end of the field because of the morning mist.
‘course, these days, they’d just tell you it was haze.
