This was my view at Old Trafford during the Man U – Boro match on 29th December ’08. (I finally downloaded the pic from my handphone.) We were about ten metres from the touchline. Pretty good view if you asked me. This is one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences. I doubt I will ever get such [...]

Street Pianos – The Most Amazing Thing Ever
Monday, 2 February, 2009
(Pic taken from official website: www.streetpianos.com) I gotta share about this amazing experience which I had when I was in Sydney last week. My parents and I were strolling past Market City (just next to Chinatown) one evening, and I noticed a sizeable crowd of people gathered at the corner of the street. They were [...]
Post-Trip Thoughts 3: Love Actually
Monday, 2 February, 2009
On my flight to Heathrow, I had the opportunity to catch the movie “Love Actually”…a movie which I had long wanted to catch but never had the chance to do so. “Love Actually” is a movie consisting of around 8 disparate stories which centre around the theme of Love, and as the movie progressed, some [...]
Post-Trip Thoughts 2: Perfect
Monday, 19 January, 2009
I thought my UK trip with my 5 other friends was absolutely perfect. It was a tremendously enjoyable trip in every aspect, and I will cherish many of the memories for years to come. I don’t know what it is about me, but lately, I seem to think that a lot of things have been [...]
Post-Trip Thoughts 1: What Shorts?!?
Tuesday, 13 January, 2009
Since it is inadvertently fast becoming folklore amongst my friends, I thought I’d set the matter straight once and for all. Ok, I’ll admit – The photo on Facebook (here), and below, is for real. It hasn’t been photoshopped. (Although I did hope that it was never captured on camera. Too bad it was. Welcome [...]
Post-Trip Thoughts 4: Movie Madness!
Sunday, 15 June, 2008
Taking long flights is usually the only chance I get to catch up on movies which I missed in the last, say…one year or so. (Yeah, I hardly ever go to the movies.) On my flight to Amsterdam and back, I managed to squeeze in a more-than-normal amount of movies. Ah Long Pte Ltd: Wanted [...]
Post-Trip Thoughts 3: Drupa
Thursday, 12 June, 2008
Is that a really small man, or a REALLY large printing machine? Held once every four years in Dusseldorf, Drupa is the world’s largest printing fair. Just imagine the largest exhibition you’ve ever been to, and multiply it by, oh well…say seventeen times and you’d get an idea of how large Drupa is. (It spans [...]
Post-Trip Thoughts 2: The Cologne Cathedral
Thursday, 12 June, 2008
The Cologne Cathedral is easily the most impressive man-made structure I have ever seen in my entire life. No photograph on earth can give you the full picture of how awe-inspiring this monument actually is. You have to go to the city of Cologne and stand before the structure to appreciate its sheer scale and [...]
Post-Trip Thoughts 1: Amsterdam
Thursday, 12 June, 2008
Photo (“Amsterdam”) by Simple Dolphin Amsterdam is a beautiful city. More than half of the city is actually situated below sea level, which explains the numerous canals and water bodies you see all over the entire city. It’s amazing how many people use bicycles in Amsterdam. The network of bicycle paths in Amsterdam is almost [...]

Wednesday, 11 June, 2008
I recently went on a trip to Holland and Germany to attend a massive trade fair, which explains my lack of updates on this blog lately. It just occurred to me that it’s been ages since I last visited a new country for the first time, and I found it an extremely exciting and fulfilling [...]
