Who would have thought 80s fashion can look so chic and relevant now?

Artistes don’t perform like they do in the eighties anymore.

Some times, people ignore problems for far too long. They fail to recognize they do have a personal issue deep down.

To be rudely awaken in a moment and faced with all signs clearly directed to the root of causes – one feel utterly disappointing yet humbling-ly self-aware at the same time.

I need to fix this.

I just realized I do not have any decent/recent colour photos of myself to put into my resume.

It’s either 1) a black/white shot 2) too blur 3) in really bad lighting that I can’t even colour-correct 4) too many heads too close 5) with the wrong kind of expression 6) in the wrong kind of clothes 7) not focusing on my face

How now brown cow?

Family

Things used to be a little better in the past, but now I simply believe my elder sister still secretly hates me.

I always have it easier than her, and I always managed to get things done my way. Doesn’t help that my mum & dad dotes on me more, even though I am the most rebellious/stubborn/aloof of the lot.

The financial responsibility of the family does not rest on my shoulder, I got to study what I want even though it has low career prospectives. Being the eldest of “the 2nd batch of kids”, she naturally expects me to take over the responsibilities once the time is ripe, so she can go pursue her own overdue ambitions.

Unfortunately, I have to go spoil things once again.

Not too long ago, I was working on a project from a difficult client, with an equally difficult “partner” (please note that I used that term loosely).

This “partner” commented that my proposed colour schemes looks like Tiger beer AND POSB, at the same time. She then proceed to email me a colour wheel, so I “can better understand how to work with colours”.

colour wheel

This is a true reinterpretation of what I got. No hues, no shades/tones.

To say that I was miffed would be an utter understatement. I felt both amused and insulted at the same time.

“Neh, you see, colour opposite one another is contrast colours, then beside one another is called complimentary colour.”

My dear, complimentary colour IS contrast colour. And colours beside one another are called Analogous colours. And there’s a very good reason why you adore leopard print and hot pink, and I don’t.

We won’t be seeing anymore Orange Seiyu shopping bags, for the dear old retailer is sold to another.

“We’ll Be Here for Good things!”, as they claim…

Dear fellow tech-geeks,

Compaq Presario SR1730AP Desktop PC Compaq Presario SR1730AP Desktop PC

can you please tell me why, do I not have the I/O ports on my front cover?!

Because I can totally do with 2 more USB ports, as well as the output ports in the front.

I am so tempted to remove the front cover.
