Ahhh.. last night went out for the usual Thursday end-of-week drink session with me buddies.. I started asking them, hey, should i bring my Tibetan dagger along for the trip? It's no Ka-bar.. but it's a Ka-wa! haha.. Kawa is a branded dagger in the Yunnan/Tibet region in China.. made of tibetan steel that can 削铁如泥!shave iron like mud.. dun play play.. they say dagger too small.. and the dagger's more like a ceremonial/souvenir dagger.. melvin then suggested taking adrian's Lord of the Rings sword.. the reforged sword of Isildur.. dunno what new name.. a double handed broad sword.. that should earn some respect.. heh.. Then they said no lah.. cos they'll most probably be carrying guns to rob you, if you encounter them.. so mel suggested, why not buy a gun?? TING! light bulb appeared ... read more

you can't read this sentence at the summary, only at the View Full Entry option Ahh.. i've just figured out the order of the blog entries this site uses... First, they list by entry date, the more recent entry on top.. and if you have multiple entries within a day, it's listed with the earlier entry at the top and the later entry at the bottom.. So if i post multiple entries in a day and the 'story' doesn't seem to flow bottom to up.. you'll know how to read this blog.. Also... if i format the font, the formatted font will not show up at the entry summary.. but if you read the full entry, then you can read the bold font.. like the first sentence i just added to the top.. Cheers! ps. oh! ... read more

Visas.. oh boy.. the main stress provider of my trip planning... holding an indo passport.. i need visa for EVERY SINGLE FREAKING COUNTRY !!!! Sibeh sianz... very envious whenever i check on the respective embassy website and it lists Singaporeans as visa-free .. green eyes.. ok.. below are some of the visa and embassies info i've found on the web.. some of the more popular embassy listing websites out there are actually not useful as well.. the best way to search is to google "COUNTRYX Embassy OR Consulate" and go to one of the websites and they often have links and addresses to their counterparts all over the world.. I'm lisiting what i've found below in case some other people share this visa frustration.. and also for my own reference as i travel.. EMBASSIES IN AFRICA ... read more

(where i done up a personal website.. and.. updated it once a year.. "Hi, I'm a freshman.. " "Hi, I'm a sophomore.." "Hi, I'm a junior.. " "Hi, I'm a senior... " so i guess i'm doing more updates than i've done in my 4 years of college.. hah.. Ok.. I've attached here a map of Africa, courtesy of the LP Africa shoestring guide i bought to accompany me throughout my trip.. I've added some lines ... read more

Well.. what have i been doing for the past 1.5 non-blogging months? for one, i discovered Battlefield 2 and the 2142 version.. woah.. hooked onto it like crazy.. just dehooked it recently.. and no.. the frequency at which get killed by other players got nothing to do with this.. really.. no.. I've also been going for interviews and doing research and getting visas for the coming trip.. i'm trying to get a job first before going for once in a liftetime getaway.. see how it goes.. at least i have a date now!! date of departure looks to be 11th March midnight and will be flying ... read more

Woah... can't believe it.. I am finally starting a blog of my own, after reading so many blogs of friends, strangers, whoever and telling myself repeatedly that "Hrm.. someday I will start a blog of my own.." ok.. i was initially thinking of writing some stuffs about why I finally decided to start writing a blog etc etc etc but suddenly felt lethargic... got some vaccinations today in preparation for my Africa trip.. and the nurse said one of the jabs' side effects is lethargy.. so i guess the lethargy must be kicking in now.. stay tuned for the next post! (when the lethargy wears off.. hopefully hopefully within the week.. ;p) So! that's all for my first blog of my life! Wooo!!! ... read more
