Warning on Yahoo Travel

2008-12-05T11:29:00.004+08:00

I got this Warning off Yahoo Travel....

Japan is not as safe for women travellers as it is for men. The primary dangers faced by women travellers to Japan are of a sexual nature: sexual harassment, molestation and rape. Although some expats will assure you that it's safe to walk the streets of any Japanese city alone at night, ignore this nonsense and follow your common sense: keep to streets with heavier foot traffic, stay in groups etc. Western-looking women who are alone on foot are easy targets for verbal harassment, or worse, by passing male pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. Walking solo along roads in remote rural areas (even during broad daylight), and hitchhiking are definitely advised against. The risks simply aren't worth it. Jam-packed trains or buses during rush hour, or late-hour services heaving with the inebriated masses, can bring out the worst in some men. If possible, ride in the women-only train carriages that have recently been introduced. Some Japanese men engage in the all-too-common handshake scam, where a friendly man pretends to want to shake your hand Western-style, then fondles your breast at the same time. When in doubt, refuse to shake hands and bow instead. Although statistics show low rates of violent crimes against women, many Japanese women's organisations and media attribute this to under-reporting.

And here are some prices

Average Cost of rooms per night:

Economy/Budget: 2800-3850
Average: 3850-7700
Executive: 7700-20000
Deluxe: 20000+

Sample Prices:

litre of milk: 190 Yen
12 eggs: 300 Yen
cheap bowl of noodles: 400 Yen
average temple/museum admission: 500 Yen
simple restaurant meal: 1000 Yen
youth hostel accommodation: 2800 Yen
internet per hour: 500 Yen
developing a roll of 36 exposure film: 600 Yen

Life & Death

2008-12-01T16:19:00.004+08:00

Life and Death

The body of a Singaporean hostage killed in a Mumbai terrorist attack has been flown back to Singapore.

Ms Lo Hwei Yen’s casket was brought to her parents’ home at Lower Delta Road at about 6pm, accompanied by her husband, Mr Michael Puhaindran.

— CNA/so

While life stares at at us, sometimes death steals it away.It was horror and shock when the news first broke in Singapore Polytechnic that a Singapore Hostage was taken.In Foodcourt 3, all eyes were transfixed to the screens as the news unfolded.We all hoped and some prayed that nothing will happen, even i was optimistic that the Singapore Hostage will come out alive.But it was not to be so.

Sometimes, we really gotta live as everyday would be our last.What would you want your Mom to hear.What would you want to tell the one that loved you do much yet you pride stopped you.What have you always wanted to do that hasnt been done.So many questions, just live everyday as your last.Cos, we might never know what might happen.

Now i just got word that two more attacks are planned in New Delhi and Chennai to come.This is an unsupported source, Indian news from India love to exaggerate things sometimes.So anyone who have loved ones living overseas, please do get them registered with the nearest embassies.

When will this craziness end, i do not know.Why do people become like what comics have painted them (The Joker in Batman). They just want to kill and kill more, they dont care if they die.They just want to destroy and kill.

Well, one thing that we as Singaporeans can do is to ALWAYS keep vigilant.Why? Cause the same thing can and might happen in Singapore.See a suspicious package, report it.See a suspicious person...report it. Cos its better to be safe than sorry.

My condolences and my heart goes out to the Family. May God be with you through this time of sorrow and grieve.

***And just for saying sakes, please stop pointing fingers the MFA, The Singapore Government,The Indian Goverment or the Indian Police.Because you do not know if the outcome would have been different.Stop this bombardment of accusations on blogs meant to keep her memory alive.Do it on your blogs and your own websites.This was a unfortunate event and thats all.You are not all-knowing to say that if things were done differently, people would be alive.Peace.

Terror....Sorrow

2008-11-27T13:06:00.004+08:00

Picture taken from CNA Website

No one can ever understand or explain some of the atrocities radical terrorists do in the name of God. Today, Mumbai wakes to find its city in shambles and terror as Bombs and coordinated attacks went off in almost 9 places. The Taja and Oberoi Hotels were overtaken and the people taken hostages.Gunmen opened fire at anyone who stood in their way and many people lost their life.I just got news that a Singaporean is one of the hostages in the hotels.I pray that this massacre of innocent people will stop as it is and the remaining people who are alive to make it out alive.

''A group calling itself the "Deccan Mujahedeen" claimed responsibility for the attacks late Wednesday night on the Taj Mahal and Oberoi Trident hotels, and eight other locations, including the main train station, a hospital and an up-market restaurant. Maharashtra state's Director General of Police A N Roy said around 100 people were killed in the precisely targeted assaults by small groups of gunmen armed with AK-47s and grenades that began around 10.30 pm (1700 GMT).

Paragraph taken from CNA Website

I wanted to blog about the accomodation in Japan today, but the first news i heard was that a Japanese Tourist was killed in the attacks and that just destroyed my mood completely.Now its a Singaporean Hostage in the hands of the terrorists.....I pray that the commandos and special forces will be able to kill/capture those terrorists as fast as possible. My deepest condolences to all who lost their lives this fateful day.

Hey Ya'll

2008-11-26T23:17:00.003+08:00

Hey People,

Its interesting how many people actually met me out and about and have asked me why i havent updated this stupid blog of mine.I needed a push of some sort, to start writing again and here it is.

FUKUOKA JAPAN TRIP!

I will be heading to the Kumamoto Region , Fukuoka Japan real soon.I will be Staying in ANCT student hostel for all the days except the last.

This is the school website - http://www.ariake-nct.ac.jp/etopnew.shtml

The team that i going am with is a potent lot with talent steaming out of their ears.There are an enjoyable bunch whom with i instantly clicked.Let's see, Cheeryl is the most excited and jumpy one while William and Lingz are very good with their dance steps. Grace and Jia Wen have leadership qualities while most of the other guys (Gabriel and Stanley) just love to talk about current events and politics. I so love that! Also..Desmond is an amazing graphic designer, yet so low esteem.Desmond! You are good...really good...stop worrying...the banner you made for the Fukuoka Trip is fantabulous! Germaine is my junior in Architecture school and is good with design too, and she can play the violin! The other gurls can sing really well! And Happy Birthday to my buddy Stanley, u rock dude!

Oh well, so we gave ourselves a wacky name yeah. We are now known as the Sashimi Parade and our motto is 'Raw Randomness'. Oh well, when you place 12 ultimately talented and wacky people together, you get these typa names.

We have to do a small variety performance, culturally relevant to Singapore in the school when we are there.So practices and Exam week have clashed yet they are faithfully attending practices which is totally awesome!! Dont worry guys, we will put up a great show...

We will be flying off on 6th Dec Night and we will be back on the 15th Dec.The itinery is pretty interesting so i know i am going to enjoy myself.Well, since i have a blog and will have internet access in Japan.I will blog every night of my daily travel and you can follow me on my journey right here on my blog.

Well just wait up for more posts and all.See ya people, back to my school work or to bed...hmmm..lets see which one is closer to me.

Oyasuminasai :)

Oh....the madness....

2008-06-22T00:16:00.001+08:00

You know, its really interesting. Finally when i can and will do better. You say something that would want me to give it all up. You see, NO ONE gets all A’s in all modules...but I did. But what did you do...you just didn’t care, seriously....you don’t care. But somehow....whenever i am using the computer, i will fail my studies, i will become no good. You think my words hurt...your words hurt more...and it seems that you not talking to me helps. Yes, i have spent enough time seeking your approval, i know i can do my last year with flying colours...i seriously don’t care if you believe in me or not. Cos in your sight, i am useless. So please, don’t think not talking to me will hurt me very deeply....cos i realised its a cheap trick that you employ. I wonder that why do i spend so much time trying to bring this family together, trying to be a good son, trying to work my hardest in school, always tell you where i am going and what time i am going home when i am 20 years of age.....it all seems weird huh Mom....So Mom...stop it....if you really want it in black and white...just keep a list of how much pocket money i take from you...since you don’t let me work anyhow...i will gladly pay it pay to you once i start working....so stop threatening me, stop using emotional blackmail and stop freakin telling me that i will fail....i will not...COS ITS my OWN LIFE.....

Your Pissed Son that is trying to escape the madness

Joint Crit 4 Submission and Industrial Training Program

2008-01-04T22:16:00.000+08:00

It was a time of no rest and sleep for me for the past week as i had to stay up to do my Architecture work and complete it for submission, which was today.I had a late start, i had a Christmas Production to Prepare for and the school...uses the Christmas Holidays to get us to prepare a submission.I hate the school just because of this simple fact, they use holidays to make us do more work.Give us a break man, arnt we doing enough in school already?

Well, so after the whole Christmas Bonanza at City Harvest, Christmas @ Chang's the Production and the Party at my Place.I dreaded going back to the work i have not completed.Why? Well it was just too much for A PERSON to complete in a week. Well, here's the deal - 2007 had been a tough year for me, i lost standing with my POS (PARADE OF SCHOOLS) mates because i had to do a Musical for Emerge (PVC ROCKS), and many taught i just abandoned them.It's a Ministry guys, just accept the fact and move on, don't give me your crappy atitude of not talking to me or ignoring me on the streets, i am so darn sure it happens again i might slap ya. I seriously do not deserve what you are doing to me. I gave my best for both. And then i lost interest in my School Work.Homework would come in, and i would just stare at the assignment for days and even weeks without doing it.

But 2007 had it's highs for me to, the Crossroads Wedding Drama, Fight Club: A Chorus, Easter and Christmas Drama and many more.Well,let me not get carried away ya .So, right after the whole Christmas events for me has ended, i had thoughts of giving up completely, but God did not want me to give up.(He had his ways of getting his points across)I sent a simple message to a couple of my friends, requesting help to do my Architecture Model and with other areas necessary.Many responded but 3 People came.Jasmine, Derrick and Giselle.They were in a way, the angels that God sent forth (yep u heard me right,angels), lets just say that these people were the encouragement and support i needed.Here are some Pictures and special mentions, i just have to, these guys were totally awesome dudes and dudettes.

-Derrick stayed up on Wed night, helping me with my Photoshop Boards
-Derrick wanted to make it on Thursday Morning, but he overslept.He came back after a hectic schedule on Friday and stayed up all night till Friday 7.30am, helping me complete 4 A0 Boards for Submission.

Thanks so much Bro.You had to battle tiredness and still kept on going so that you can help me complete my work.I willl not forget that, ever.

- Jasmine and Giselle arrived on Wednesday and started helping me out with the Model.
-Giselle came back on Thursday Afternoon 2pm and stayed till Friday 8am doing my Model.She is WONDERWOMAN !! (Wonderwoman Soundtrack plays...)
-Jasmine rushed down after work on Thursday,and stayed till 5.30am the next day helping me with my Model.
-They had this never say die attitude in them that kept me going and let me to FINISH my project.
-Jasmine had to go back to work on Friday Morning, even though she stayed up one whole day helping me.

Thank you so much, Jasmine and Giselle in helping em with this project, I could have never done it without you.You Gurls are great friends, sisters and all things lovely i guess.You Gals Rock!

Starbucks - Something to look forward to on long nights.

Food of the Gods - Nah, its just Macdonald's to substain the guys through Thursday night.Proudly sponsored by Jasmine.

Oh yeah, some of the guys called up cos they heard i injured myself while doing the model, here is a picture to cut where i cut myself.which led to a little bit of my finger being gone....could find the little piece of 'meat'..LOLZ -->

ITS NOT MY HAND

**By the way, don't criticize the pictures, i was taking it at around 2am to 4,30am Friday Morning.No mood to adjust lighting and all that stuff.

Well, again this post serves as a reminder of God's goodness and the people and friends he has placed in my life.Here's my ITP Placement Stuff.

First Post in the YEAR 2008

2008-01-01T19:04:00.000+08:00

I welcomed the new year in a theater watchin I am Legend.Great movie, i would give it 4.5 stars.

So here i am just pondering and thinking, about what i should do in 2008, the things i want to achieve and here it is, in a list.This list will get longer as time goes by.By the way, if you have not noticed, i have changed my blog skin:)

1)Finish the Script with Jennifer. (Can't reveal much on this one)

2)Find out where the heck my Primary School Friends are.

It has been a long time, but this people were the ones i hanged out with, these people were like my homies. Hanging out after school at Gek Poh and Jurong Point Shopping centres. Getting into trouble with teachers and stuff. I so want to know where this people went - (Gopinath, Thomas, Kasturi, Krishnan, Yogesh, Arun).I will try to locate them, go for a meal at least once i have located them.

3)Get my Ministry Membership.Yep, i have been stagnant for a little too long already...So i need some spiritual goals and this is one of them.I want to finish the Bible Studies and the Tests leading uo to getting my Ministry membership.

4)Find for that Elusive Gurl

I wont be explaining further on this point.Go Figure...

5)Play a Key Role in the Cell Group Development.

Give Key Importance to my Role as a Treasurer.I want to become a cell group helper.I cant really explain more, the two lines speak for themselves.

~~There are many others, but i feel these are the most important.

So, WISHING EVERYONE A GREAT AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR, MAY ALL YOUR WISHED DREAMS and ASPIRATIONS COME TO PASS.

My Take on the Water boarding Incident in The USA.

Ok, so here it is. A Battle Between a USA Principle and Safety of its Citizens.Water boarding has been in much of the heated debate.Everytime i turn on BBC World Service.It would be there.So what is my take on it.Well, lets see both sides of the coin.A Terror Suspect after going through water boarding gave up information on many other suicide bombings and it was prevented.In this case, many lives was saved.On the other hand, some innocent people have confessed to crimes they did not commit due to the fact that they were trying to escape the Torturous Water Boarding.

So what should we do, i feel that the in between should have some checking.What do i mean?, When a suspect is brought in.Investigation should have been made to check if this person is much of a threat and then use Water Boarding to get Information from him. The truth is, even if water boarding is taken off the menu.There would be something else to replace it, come on guys...its torture done to expel information....

If i had to shoot a person that was going to kill my mother.I WILL. If a nation has to use torture to save thousands of its citizens and to prevent another 911 event....then...it has to

Rubez's New Hairstyle!

When i see a person has a nice change, whether its their clothes, hairstyle or new earings or a watch.I will tell them! So, i have to agree with Ros. Rubez does look more beautiful with rebonded hair! Good Choice Rubez! You Go Gurl!

--------------->

So here were the latest stuffs, only the stuff i could remember.I am going shopping with mum for Christmas Ornaments later.Mum and I have a theme for our Christmas Tree this Year.WHITE CHRISTMAS, so we gotta get silver or white ornaments. Last year was A Theme of Gold and Red that went Around our Christmas Tree.

**All my close friends are invited for a Christmas Party on the 24th December 2007, from 7.30pm till Late.Please dont bring Ferrero Rocher, everyone brings it....it kinda shows how much thought you put into the gift you are buying.Had enough of Ferraro Rocher Large Boxes last year.We only finished eating the chocs Late February...

Singapore has been Shortlisted for Youth Olympics

2007-12-07T20:26:00.000+08:00

I am as excited as ever for this event, and i cant understand why.I wasn't much interested in sports until this bid started, and i know we can win and we can host the best youth Olympics there is to come.The Singapore 2010 site has been revamped, it looks much better than the previous one before we were shortlisted.There are also new videos to show the world what Singapore is.I shall post the two videos here on my blog.Stay tuned.

Here is the website - www.singapore2010.sg

LEts continue to support this bid fellow Singaporeans!

The Big Move

2007-12-01T20:01:00.001+08:00

The Food Stall aunties are talking.More tables have been ordered.Preparations are being made.At the Best Coffee Shop.Their tables which they bought sometime back are back in use again.There is an excitement and anticipation in the air.The rumors have been true, what they heard is going to happen tomm. 1400 City Harvest Members are coming back to start back the first service here in the Jurong Building.Which would make City Harvest a Church in 2 Locations, the wild west and the far east.One in Jurong and one in Expo!

Pioneers we are, to start ONE service, but trust me...that ONE service would soon become TWO...and then to THREE and so forth before our new building in the MARKETPLACE is complete.Lets rock on and expect great things from God here in Jurong!

Alot of people in Jurong, that usually attended church but due to the move to expo the cant go now due to financial or personal reasons have something to rejoice about.They have had their prayers answered.So there we have it, Expo will still continue to have two services, Goal is to grow till Expo has 3 Services.Jurong has One Service Service starting and the goal is to increase it to 6 Services.This all WILL happen with GOD before the MEGA move to the building.

The Compass - Anti-Christ?

2007-11-14T23:34:00.000+08:00

So here is the article that i read, some non-christians and christians approached me regarding this rumour/fact regarding this movie, read the article and see what i have to say....

THE ARCTICLE FROM THE CCTV (The Christian Congress for Traditional Values)

The CCTV is warning movie-goers to avoid watching the Golden Compass.
In particular, parents are warned that this is not suitable for children because of its anti-Christian themes.
The Golden Compass is the first instalment of Philip Pullman’s books entitled, “His Dark Materials”.
Although the film is a watered down version of Pullman’s writing, it promotes atheism to children by stealth and contains strong anti-Christian content. The official website for The Golden Compass includes a section on ‘Daemons’:
“In Lyra’s world, a person’s soul lives on the outside of their body, in the form of a daemon – an animal spirit that accompanies them through life. … In our world, it is possible that people have daemons as well, only they are invisible. If you would like to learn more about your daemon, and create a daemon avatar to take out into the world with you select ‘Meet your Daemon’.”
Philip Pullman, a proclaimed atheist, is quoted in the Washington Post as saying, “I'm trying to undermine the basis of Christian belief". He also added, C.S. Lewis, the Christian author of Chronicles of Narnia, would describe his books as the “Devil's work."
Pullman has said his books “are about killing God”.
Parents are encouraged to boycott this film and should avoid buying the books for their children. The books and the film contain anti-God and anti-Christian themes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's my take on this whole situation.Seriously, its a cartoon.Yeah, its has some themes that might well get on your nerves.The same treatment was given to Harry Potter.People, hear me now, loud and clear.By watching the Harry Potter Movie i am not going to start casting spells and bewitching people the next day.I am also not going to believe in DAEMONS or GOLDEN COMPASSES by watching a novel,book or even a myth or legend protrayed on film.

Go watch the movie.Yes, you heard me right...GO WATCH IT. If you still wanna argue, lets use your same theology with life shall we.The theology of labelling things Anti-Christ and staying away from it.Parents, the safest things for your kids is then not to send them out anymore, some strangers are atheists and antichrist.Or better still lock them up at home, in a room with no windows, since i have seen some symbols being labelled anti-christ,posters,advertisements or even your next door neighbour peering through.Seclude yourselfs from the world! Wait till Christ returns and start opening the doors for ya....which eventually wont happen.

So yeah, movies are movies, actors are actors, dramas are dramas. If a person acts as slut,killer or rapist in a movie...he or she is not in real life.Doesnt matter if that person is a monk,priest or pastor.It doesnt change the fact that the person acted.So...here it was...my little take on the Anit-Christ Movie Movement.

**By the way, to people who keep asking me what the inverted cross stands for.Some people think its a weak point for me as a Christian or just ask me because they have nothing better to do, so here it is...a little history. The Inverted Cross , maybe used for Satanic believes...but its just the way Peter died, being crucified upside down.

Here is the link - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_cross

Here are some other movies that were labelled Anti-Christian.What the Heck huh? -->

CHUCK AND LARRY

BATMAN BEGINS

SAVED (DEBUT IN LOCAL AMERICAN THEATRES)

HAPPY FEET

PASSION OF THE CHRIST

PRIEST

DOGMA

PULP FICTION

and much much more....just stop bothering me with what is a Christian movie or what in anti-Christian.

IT was the first day of the show Fight Club, everything went well and according to plan and i felt everyone did an awesome job.So when i went backstage and saw i note on my bag, i thought it was a joke done by Derrick.So i shouted, Derrick, why did you write 'Stop Standing at The Fucking Front'. ( This was kinda like a in-prompt-to and a more of react to others show, so u get to choose where to stand and stuff, it has to be random- ORGANSIED CHAOS). Derrick was in the toilet, he did not hear it but others did (Whoops, here come the gossips).When Derrick came out....he was like...Alan....How can you say i wrote that....i had to explain to him i thought it was a joke.

So what was it?I started pondering...if it wasnt Derrick who could it be.First from a Joke, i started to fear this message.Does somebody wanna kill me...Should i protect myself....Maye i should have bodyguards. So i started focusing on what this person might do to me, what rumors he might spread and stuff...just because i landed in front of the stage on certain timings.

My natural reaction is to pray, and God has a very practical way of dealing with you.So it dawned upon me, call it a Revelation...or call it God's Voice, i dont mind...Gos shifted my focus to the message again...mymy....why God why...but i had to think of what the message actually meant again.I recalled it word by word.

My natural reaction as a studying Architect to be was to plot out a stage (plan view) and I started putting where i was standing at every minute, from what i could remember.And my GOSH....the HORRORS....i was standing right at the front almost 60% to 70% of the time.This person (even though he/she was crude) was actually right! Even though he had to use such a tactic to get my attention he/she was RIGHT!, although it would have been nice if he/she told me face to face politely.So yeah, mysterious person, thanks for telling me about it, i was unconsciously doing it and you pointed it out.So yeah, i am not afraid of a person trying to stalk or kill me...or am i going to find the prankster who might have put it there.Rather i know what to do on the second run.Different people have different ways of putting their message across and i totally understand that.

**And i am so sure people are going to ask about this incident today.lol

GOGOGO! For our second Night today.All the Best!

Seeya Tonight!

Funny Pictures Day by Day! A 10 Day Collection!

2007-10-07T20:05:00.001+08:00

Here is the start of the 10 Day collection of what i think to be the funniest and most outrageous stuff on the net.Here's Lightsabers coming in at the 10th Position.

Man, something about funny pictures with lightsabers in them crack me up pretty bad.Here's some:)

Don't have much to say today, so check my post tommorrow yeah!

Wake me up - NOT!

2007-10-05T08:29:00.000+08:00

Ultimately interesting actually, i am blogging at 8.30am in the morning.Why, here is the big story.

The PostProductionParty was being organized by Me,Derrick,Vincent,JiaRong,Caleb(headed by me) and we had to collect the money asap to order foods and stuff.Another $140 dollars from the excess in the Bintan Trip Collection was still with the Production Manager(PM) for Crossroads.So i sent him a email requesting the transfer of that amount and on top of that $4 for 2 DVD sets that the Team was creating.

Somehow, the PM felt that too much money was being spent on the DVD, since there was a payment of $4, or $2 per person.He would not want it.And guess when he called me.2.36am in the morning.And he started comparing me with someone else, in terms of what was happening and what he felt.Nice one, wake me up and start comparing me.

Here is a little information, during my holidays - its okay to call me at such a time.But now i am having schools and projects piling up and i do not need a wake up call at 2.36am.I had to wake up at 5am(Continue on my Project) and leave to school at 6.30am.That got screwed bad as i could not get to sleep after the call, tossing and turning till around 5am.Rest came only after 5am and i slept till 6.45pm.I was supposed to leave at 6.30am.

Here is a friendly reminder to all my friends, if you call me in the early mornings, and if i refuse your call.Dont send a sms asking me to call back, only urgent matters need that.I am sleeping, let me rest.I NEED THE REST.

To my Production Manager - Stop talking down to me, its bad, its just irritating, don't undermine my leadership.Reminder** Crossroads Drama was a collaboration between 'SephorisProductions' and 'Resendos Work+Craft'.I with my other management lead Sephoris while you lead your team.Advise me if you have to, don't talk down to me.

------------------------------------------------------

So here is the breakdown of where the money is going.

$140 + ($7 per Person) - BBQ FOOD AND DRINKS

$2 Per Person - Your DVD Set (Booklet of Memories from Cast, DVD Production Video, Pictures taken by all during the Trip[SoftCopy], DVD CASE, DVD Cover[Printed]
**DVD plus Editing and Casing would cost over $5, paying two dollars is the best we can give you.Either way we still have to regulate who gets the DVD as it is copyighted.

Therefore 9 bucks per person.If any queries please Call Alan or Derrick.

Very Flustered, Amused and Tired Out
Alan.....

1 Vulgar Word & 1 Vulgar Phrase Fact Sheet

2007-10-04T00:31:00.000+08:00

1) S-H-I-T

Ever wonder where the word SHIT comes from?

Well, here it is:

Certain types of manure used to be transported (as everything was years ago) by ship.

In dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, it not only

became heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by-product is

methane gas. As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could

(and did) happen. Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone

came below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM! Several ships were destroyed in this

manner before it was discovered what was happening. After that, the bundles of manure

were always stamped with the term "S.H.I.T" on them which meant to the sailors to

"Ship High In Transit."

In other words, high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the

hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane.

Bet you didn't know the history of that word.

Neither did we.

We always thought it was a golf term.

2) Brass Monkeys

In the heyday of the Sailing ship, every ship had to have a cannon for protection. Cannon of the times required round iron cannon balls. The master wanted to store the cannonballs such that they could be of instant use when needed, yet not roll around the gun deck.

The solution was to stack them in a square-based pyramid next to the cannon. The top level of the stack had one ball, the next level down had four, the next had nine, the next had 16, and so on. Four levels would provide a stack of 30 cannonballs.

The only real problem was how to keep the bottom level from sliding out from under the weight of the higher levels. To do this, they devised a small plate ("monkey") with one rounded indentation for each cannonball in the bottom layer .

When iron was used to make this plate ("monkey") the cannonballs would rust to the plate. As a result, these plates were made of brass to prevent this problem-thus the "brass monkey."

When temperature falls, brass contracts in size faster than iron. As it got cold on the gun decks, the indentations in the brass monkey would get smaller than the iron cannonballs they were holding. If the temperature got cold enough, the bottom layer would pop out of the indentations spilling the entire pyramid over the deck.

Thus it was, quite literally, "COLD ENOUGH TO FREEZE THE BALLS OFF A BRASS MONKEY." And all this time some of you thought we were talking dirty .

Birthday Birthday!

2007-10-02T23:50:00.000+08:00

3)You try searching for a restaurant to go to for your Birthday(Since that what you always do on your Birthdays anyways) and your sibling does not prize his YouTube Videos over your Birthday or that you are trying to celebrate your birthday with him.
4)When people do not sulk and try to make things work out.
5)You do not need to remind people that your language of Love is Gifts.
6)When at least one person can spend the day with you on your Birthday-02-Oct.
7)When you do not lose your handphone, $50 dollars and your ex-link card two weeks before your Birthday
8)When you come home on the week of your birthday, you are spoken to nicely.

Being and Staying Together as a team (SephorisProductions)

2007-09-27T20:43:00.000+08:00

Someone suddenly came to me while coming back to Singapore from Bintan and said siad...."Alan, I'm afraid we will not talk to each other...In church we might even avoid each other".I was flabbergasted, i was wondering how or where he/she might have got the question from.I finally realised where and here is my answer to you.

Darling....I am not against your relationship nor do i feel you guys should not be together, i am not like that.I just felt it was just going to fast and you might not know what you might be getting yourself into.A genuine fear.But i realize that people in authority are handling the situation and i am glad.Feel free to talk to me, i am always approachable.I love you two as i love the others, that will never change.I realise also that tones and gestures over the phone and meeting up have changed once you and him....finally got together.Lets not be that way yeah, it kinda hurts me as much as it might hurt you.

Everyone, in the SephorisProductions Team.Listen up.If we wanna stay together, effort is needed.Call each other, find out and be interested with what other people are doing.Just dont be overly 'kaypoh'.Relationships to stay strong needs people to actively 'plough' the field.Lets be labourers and keep this going.Lets not lose this fire guys.

Movies i Wanna Watch in a Jiffie ....

Woohoo, back from Bintan and so happy happy happy!lol.Well if you are wondering why i did not update my blog on Bintan, well..i was kinda busy and stuff...do go to Liz's Blog to learn more :)

Well, i was Stumbling on Mozilla Firefox and i came across this Movie that will be realeased in 10 Jan 2008.This is one movie i would definitely go or look out for.The plot doesnt seem fancy but the whole trailer does...take a look!

Plot : The story starts in the early 1960s with a young dock worker named Jude (played by Jim Sturgess) who travels from his home town of Liverpool, England to America in search of the American G.I. father (Robert Clohessy) he has never known. While in America he befriends Max (Joe Anderson) a rebellious young man from a privileged background and his sister Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood). Jude and Max become roommates in a bohemian enclave in New York City where they share an apartment with other young individuals. They are joined in New York by Lucy and a romantic relationship evolves between her and Jude. When Max is drafted to fight in the Vietnam War, Lucy becomes involved in the anti-war movement - leading to strains with the comparatively apolitical Jude. The film is constructed as a musical, with the actors expressing themselves and their inner emotions by singing compositions written between 1963-1969 by the members of The Beatles.

Lets go watch it or something when it opens yeah....would love to watch it with Liz...Derrick and the other Drama Guys....definitely anyone else that wanna tag along too :) ..This movie just looks to amazing to be missed

My World - My Abode

2007-09-02T03:13:00.000+08:00

I so loved the profile page that MySpace has, i abandoned Blogger for MySpace and found that to personalize my blog would take much more time and effort than Blogger.The Ease of Teachnology Attracts Me and Humans alike...Studies and projects poured in and I kinda left MySpace in the lurch....cos it kinda needed lotsa 'maintenance' .So well, i am back to the blogging world at blogspot....why?...cos everytime i see a webpage i like or think everyone should see, or want to share how my mum kinda nagged me to death or how with some friends like mine you do not need enemies....i did not have the means...so here it is...Alan's Abode...All my Fave Links and Pages will also be featured here!...So...starting off will be a lil hard...but show me some love y'all...!

So here's the First Post in my Online Abobe

Website of the Day : MUSICOVERY (www.musicovery.com)

So, well i was like looking through the web...surfing as i always do i stumbled upon this site.Its a flash player that you can configure what genre you want and which era you want it to play from, it will randomly choose and play the genre's you choose and the era you wanted it to be in.A really fun gadget to use while doing your projects.Only i know the pain of knowing your songs in your playlist to well as you are doing it day after day....you just get tired of it.

Today in a Jiffie : Meeting the People...That Drove my Mum to tears...

It was 5 years since my Dad passed away....and 5 years since i talked or met the people that spread gossip that my mum killed him.It was too much for me to take too...the ties were kinda immediately broken since then.Today, a distant relative came over to my place, she was kinda old....and she needed to meet them....and...I had to bring her there.I met them for the first time in 5 years.Truthfully, it wasnt that bad.When i entered the house, God suddenly pressed upon my heart....to just forgive them....they are his children anyways.So, the the anger i harboured i lifted it up to God.I talked, chatted,joked and even told them i will be back next week as they invited me for dinner.Everything went well.God has a intersting way of putting things back in order.They hated our guts, cos my mum's friends scolded them and chased them away from my house 5 years back when they heard of the gossip....we kinda hated theirs too cos of the gossip...

Now, i have forgiven them, its time for my whole family to do the same, especially my grandmother (yep, the christian one) to forgive them....she has a sharp tongue and hurls insults at them always.I am bringing my siblings to their place next week, wish me luck.
