Ocean Of Fear

17 Nov

I was about to log out to my Yahoo email account when I caught sight of a banner of something interesting.

Ocean Of Fear

Ocean of Fear: Worst Shark Attack Ever is one of the television shows that the Discovery Channel has for its Shark Week programs. This show is based on the sinking of the USS Indianapolis (which was torpedoed by the Japanese submarine I-58) in 1945 after the ship has safely transported components of the atomic bomb known as “Little Boy”. Approximately 900 men abandoned ship and those that were wounded by the blast soon died. Despite having an initial 900 odd surviors, only 316 of them survived the five-day ordeal in the shark-infested waters.

This program chronicles how the survivors fought ths sharks, and the reasons why the sharks attacked the way they did.

P/S: I just found out that Shark Week took place from July 29 through August 4. Anyone knows where I can find it?

Power Of Airbrushing

16 Nov

I was checking out John Chow‘s posts from the past few days that I missed due to me being at a holiday resort with my friends. It is hard to believe the power of airbrushing using PhotoShop. I always know that PhotoShop is an awesome piece of software but the video threw my beliefs even wilder. It is not just awesome, it is ‘god-like’ like how some of my friends will describe it. Thanks to John Chow for that entry, it was really entertaining and definitely an eye-opener.

Sprees For Males

15 Nov

I noticed that there are some searches on Google that leads to Orinity.com. One of the search terms that caught my eyes is the search term ‘Male Spree Singapore’. Weird? It is. It is rather true that there’s a lot less online shopping spree organizers and shopping websites that targets male shoppers. Somehow, it eludes the minds of the shopping websites and spree organizers that men can be shoppers too. As a typical male online shopper, the things guys buy are quite different from the bags, clothes and accessories that my female counterparts buy. I have purchased various computer parts, my iPod, macBook, books and other gadgets. One may say that my purchases are typically technological gadgets. Apparently, there isn’t many websites selling apparels and ship to Singapore. My only past experience will be buying a sweater from CafePress. I actually find their range of apparels to be quite interesting since it is more like a marketplace selling designs from a range of designers or sellers.

Email me or comment here on any male-oriented shopping websites that you want to share. Men wear clothes too!

Self-reflection

14 Nov

When does a person do a self-reflection? When he or she experience something that jars them out of their comfort zone. That is how we humans are, we take for granted the things around us, often not realising we are guilty of it. What we should have said and done, these are the questions that we often find ourselves thinking about over and over. And sometimes, even if we tell ourselves not to do it again, we get caught up emotionally in the moment and forget the lessons that we realised before.

Something minor was said to me today that I cried.

And I vowed to trust more and not sound sarcastic (though jokingly)whenever he tells me something. I’ve got to believe in myself and in him.
Appreciation is one of the key factors in a relationship. That’s the factor that makes you realise not to take anyone/anything for granted.
Go on, show your appreciation. Send e-cards, text messages, a call or two to show you care. Words might need to be spoken, but actions are remembered in the heart.
