    Gundam 00 Season 2 Ending OST Tuesday, July 07, 2009 |

    Been watching Gundam 00 that I got from my brother the past few days. The plot is so-so, the mech is so-so, the soundtrack is so-so... Sigh. They haven't produced anything good since Gundam Seed (yes, Destiny is no match too, imo). Well, at least until I heard this song... quite nice... Trying to d/l the .mp3 ;)

    Thing about nice ending themes and sucky storyline is... you tend to look forward to the ending of each episode. I remember for Seed, the storyline was so spectacular, that when they start feeding in the ending theme song, I felt disappointed. The only consolation was that the song rocked too!

    Time to rewatch Seed. Kira Yamato, Freedom, Hashin!!

    While we're at it... 2 more catchy songs ;)



    工作一年了~~~ ! Monday, July 06, 2009 |

    Just came back from Shanghai, to fall sick... I was sick before the trip, during the trip, and after the trip. How awesome is that...? The weather and pollution of that city is really quite horrible this time of the year. There're only occassional showers to cool and clean the air, which makes the daily temperature fluctuate alot, and probably making my ultra-sensitive nose to act up -.-" More on that, with pics, once they've been sorted and updated.

    Coincidentally, the trip marks my 1st anniversary of work, from 1 Jul 2008 - 1 Jul 2009. Yippee~~~! Guess this is the time to rethink what I have learnt and all those missed opportunities not to be repeated.

    Apart from work, alot has happened with my life as well. Graduation, RoM, and travelled to Hanoi, Hong Kong, Penang, Batam, Shanghai. Next up are buying HDB, actual wedding, etc etc. Seriously, they are as exciting as they are worrying, being deficient in vitamins B, C, D and M.

    The resolution for the next year work-year shall more or less be the same:

    i. Lead a good work-life balance.
    Life and work should not be mixed, but should act to compliment each other. I think work has definitely helped me appreciate life better. To be able to appreciate the environment from the eyes of an architect has definitely enriched life. Also, because work has deprived me the precious time for life, it has made me cherish it much more. I think my life has helped with my work too, but it could be more. Perhaps, travel more, do more new things, explore more places, read more...? Herh... I know some who knows me will surely laugh at this, cause I don't read much apart from graphic novels (they are not just comics!). I really need to work on this aspect.

    ii. Exercise more.
    I shall pass my IPPT for 2009-10 window!!! 3 more months to train O_o" Sigh~ Gah-men really made me hate my birthdays.

    That's about it for now... Some pics of DC Direct's Cover Girls of DC Universe, Wonder Woman... She's one sweet beauty. Goddess~~~!!! I happen to own no. 2259 of 5000 pieces produced. Enjoy!
