Charity: Water
Guys, let me introduce you to Charity: Water.
We live a blessed life in Singapore - no worries about our three meals, transportation, let alone clean water (we can drink out of taps!). Yet a lot of us choose to complain about the non-essentials - politics, inconveniences, disturbances. Meanwhile, people in Third World countries don't even get clean water. The only liquid they can get to survive contains dirt, mud, feces, even leeches that crawl back out of their throats. Can you imagine having to feed your baby that water?
This movement is extremely inspiring to me. It just goes to show that a little thought, a little money and a little innovation can go a long way in helping not just one person's life, but entire communities. If you are interested to read more, click the banner I've put up on blog on the right side. I've always had a problem in deciding what kind of career path I want to undertake. The considerations are many, but as always, selfish: money, time, prestige, comfort. I take comfort in the fact that such endeavors are possible. I hope that I could work my way to do such programmes as my job in the future.
If anyone is interested to run a project to support this cause, email me at bluesyme@gmail.com. A little goes a long way.

Three Reasons why How I Met Your Mother is still Funny and Awesome
1. Barney Stinson is still a genius, sublime, witty, sex maniac.
2. Ted is still as clueless as ever.
3. Robin is still as hot as ever.
“She’s so sad and defenseless. Anyone have a condom?” – Barney |
2. Ted is still as clueless as ever.

"I still got IT!" - Robin |

Celebrations
Yesterday was Ang Jiawei's 22nd birthday! We celebrated with lots of food and merrymaking in general. The itinerary started off with a superb lunch at Prego (treated by Jiawei, thanks a lot bro!), followed by Eat Pray Love, and ending off with dinner at 15 Minutes at Laselle College of the Arts.
Eat Pray Love was a tad draggy - most of the part I felt the lead actress, played by Julia Roberts (those who grew up with her - yes, she is basically talking about mid-life crisis in this show, time flies!), should just grow up and stop whining about her life (then I remembered, hey, that's the whole point of this movie). But as the plot developed in the later parts of the show, the message became clearer and it was rather meaningful; love, inner peace, God. I was moved by a non-centric part of the movie - when the father and the son had a tearful farewell (sorry, spoilers!) and it reminded me of the lack my own relationship had, and how I should strive to attain this type of father-son bond in the future. But enough of me. As a whole, the message at the end redeemed this show, quite barely. For 2 and a half hours of whining, I'd say... obtain this show when it comes out in a... let's say, cheaper place.
Large Cream of Mushroom Soup @ Prego - delicious! |

Sorry, I'm simply hooked on this song!
Dedication to my IPhone
Dear IPhone,
I think our relationship is definitely.. more than just friends now. Don't you think so? I mean, we spend the best part of our days together. And I enjoy interacting with you a lot. You always seem to surprise me with new things every time I meet you! For my part, I try my best to keep up with you. I couldn't imagine life without you.
However.
I must confess, I have noticed certain shortcomings in you. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to nitpick here - every living thing has it's flaws, even I! I just want you to be the best you are.
Now, I always enjoy our.. fun times together. But why oh why is your battery life so short? I mean, it seems like your energy level dwindles incredibly fast once we start to play. Am I that boring? Perhaps you need to sleep earlier at night. Stop trying to distract me.. I need my sleep too. That way we could have more fun during the day, yes?
And why does your signal suddenly just disappear for no particular reason, out of nowhere? I need to communicate! It's simply unacceptable that you throw these tantrums and give me the cold shoulder for no reason at all.
There are times, too, when I try to unlock you and the slider simply won't go all the way! I just wish you'd be a bit more sensitive to my needs sometimes.
Now. I might say all these. But it's all for your own good, okay? And for our future. But it's okay. Take your time. I love you just the way you are right now. I guess thats just what I am - a hopeless romantic.
