Painful.Though Kimi Raikkonen deserved the race, he was very lucky to grab the championship.Erm, screw Fernando Alonso - thank you very much.Well, I can't wait for the next F1 season and I'll still be rooting for my favourite, especially so in September 2008 - it will be spectecular for him to clinch the chequered flag here

Ratatouille deserves 5 full stars for being so alive despite being an animation feature. Don't be fooled by its mere G-rating - With an impressionable influence on all ages, it effectively drives home important lessons in life to the audience, both young and old.Inspired by the belief of Gusteau - I found myself cooking in not just one, but two kitchens in the course of 3 days!

Most of you know that I'm crazy over (almost) everything that is Japan - I've always admired the Japanese (musicians) for their versatility. I was random-ing on youtube and drumming great Akira Jimbo (Casiopea) shook me harder than the 2 tremors. Combined.

Today, I realised. We are not fighting alone, and if we are - that's why we're losing. I have been journeying alone, but I wish to journey with the Lord now.Barely 12 days into Lent and I have already lost so many battles with the Devil and counting.Our battles we lost, the war he won. Already.

"Beware of practising your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven. ""So whenever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know

Now, just so you know - Saturdays are my sacred days, together with Sundays. So I get really irritated if they are touched, unless super important. In this instant - it's for my LAST mid-semestral test on the 16th of December - I so sia suay, most of the rest

My current favourite TV serial has been re-made by a fellow poly (and choir) mate.It was a good effort, I thought - if not, a decent "le parkour" demonstration. HAHA.Starring "Zach" as Michael Scoffield,Presenting "Prison Break - TP Style"~

"Make yourself familiar with the angels, and behold them frequently in spirit; for without being seen, they are present with you."- Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)While I was in the Sacristy browsing through the Ordo, I saw "Feast of The Guardian Angels" for Oct 2nd.And I thought it was interesting because I would think the concept of Guardian Angels was only a taboo, or myth at worst - before

Albeit a sensitive topic, I feel compelled to give my two cents' worth - notwithstanding my Catholic affiliation.Pope Benedict XVI himself had stressed that he was quoting from the 14th century Emperor Paleologos. The comment is without question, NOT the view & personal opinion of the Pope nor the general view of the 1.1 Billion Catholics by which his stand represents (the Catholic Church's - by

And bloody Cristiano Ronaldo. Well, now that Portugal is gone. Yay.I realized why.(Besides the egoistical, arrogant cheaters *cough Henry cough* they are)It's because of THIS. And THIS.Seemed that the hatred was already borne ages ago...Looks like Rome is gonna get the trophy. =)

This week, the Catholic community celebrates the 25th Anniversary of the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between the Holy See (Vatican) and the Republic of Singapore (24th June 1981) - In conjunction with the 20th Anniversary of the late great Pope John Paul II's papal visit to Singapore (20th November 1986).

My goodness, you can't imagine the fluctuating emotions I've been through this past 2 nights.After incurring a heavy loss (dun ask) jointly with Dad - thanks to Italy & Czech - we sought to recuperate our losses. 5 minutes before Spain-Tunisia, I urged Dad to pump in more hundreds. 1-half Spain.For the next 71 minutes - and mind you, Tunisia was one up - we were cursing and swearing at the

Exam aftermath - all I can say is that the examiner is fwah (his credentials, etc). Hope he gives me the distinction =p*warning: hints of ego Just last week with a couple of my classmates @ Century Square, I revisited the Drummania - also known as Percussion Freaks - and I felt like a... prodigal son running back to the father (eh?)Anyway, after being slapped on the face with my first 'stage

Editor's Note: For those who are still wondering - Yes, it's a Drumset examination. Few of its kind. =)Grade 5 TCL (Trinity College of Music, London)Hmm... I'm kinda dreading it.I've still yet to compose my own set piece (the second draft, that is; after having failed at the first attempt - Apparently, it's too boring for a drumset solo) - which is a requirement that carries a bulk of the marks.

I shall start by venting my utter frustration - being deprived of an internet connection for the past week or so only meant that I found myself nearly in trouble this morning during my Microeconomics Test; I failed to find out my seat number (info only accessible online) and thus ended up in the wrong classroom, at the wrong table. That affected me damn much. I spent 2+ minutes rectifying the

Gospel Reading "He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. **Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned**.

For the uninitiated - Yes, I took the bold step of withdrawing from JC; subjected myself to violent opposition & sharp criticism of course. But it's a decision I will never regret, besides I have no chance to regret anyway. In any case, I have no wish to delve further into the details of my life - if any at all - during my stint (or stunt) @ MJC the past year.For those who have helped me tide

When it comes to the moment of truth, I hope it'd be stormy.

'Wisdom' words like these (and other rubbish like "Percussion is not my cup of tea" - from 'pissed-drunk-by-tea' Iskandar, arguably the born-percussionist who brought the house down with many a solo) served as food for thought, during post-concert supper @ Crystal Jade Kitchen, Holland V.The concert was good, with only a few negligible hiccups & it was more well-attended in comparison to our
