The New Batman ?

Ben Affleck has been confirmed to act as the new Batman in the next movie.

Let me try to imagine his face, in the Batman suit. . . .


Hmmm... Hmm....

Personally, Christian Bale, already done a great job in the Batman movie series.

Too bad, he is not doing so in the next one.. =(

I still prefer Christian Bale, to be the Batman. 

How about you ?? 

Shall rewatch these movies over the weekends.. 

2-room HDB flats for singles ?

Came across this article while reading news on the internet.

HDB launches 2-room flats in non-mature estates for eligible singles
An old news, i guess many would have already read it. It reported that for those singels who earn up to S$5,000 per month and are 35 years and above, can buy a 2 room flat, non-mature estates!

If i am not married by then, i might want to get one 2 room flat, plant some plants at the corridor.
I can watch them grow everyday..



Come to think of it, times and rules keep changing nowadays (if you notice..)

There are still a few things, that i truly miss.

I am missing the Dragon Playground near my current void deck, i am sure many would, and the younger people, might not even have a chance to see it, anymore.


Credits to photographer HERE.

Also still trying to find the Primary School friend who was staying few blocks away from me, and we used to send each other Christmas Cards, (Without using stamps, save money!!) through each others' post letter box.

Next, the much often Pasar Malam or Night Market, happening at the void decks.
The nice food, cheap things you can buy... and of course, the famous 燕窝水 (Bird Nest Drink).

This one lah, you got drink before ?? =)


It was even much large scale (Uncle Ringo style) kind of events many years ago.. with the mini rides and mini games...

Nowadays, where got such pasar malam ? Soon it might just die off in Singapore, i predict.

I missed the old HDB kind of life, and events.

So much to miss, but life still have to move on.

Someday, i will also have my own house.
If i do, i wish i can have a big big house, would love my room to look like this!! 



And my very own, movie room. ^^




If only, i have the MONEY.

Cups ?

Was surfing around on You Tube, have you heard of this song before ?
I think i am slow in getting to know this song!

The MTV looks nice though.



Anna Kendrick - Cups (Pitch Perfect's "When I'm Gone")'


[Verse 1:]
I got my ticket for the long way 'round
Two bottle 'a whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I'm leaving tomorrow, wha-do-ya say?

[Chorus 1:]
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

[Verse 2:]
I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
The one with the prettiest of views
It's got mountains, it's got rivers, it's got sights to give you shivers
But it sure would be prettier with you

[Chorus 2:]
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone





And of course, people starts making their own version too!
Here are some that i enjoyed.

Run Run Run

Long time since i posted running post.

( Yes, i been lazy, and busy.HAHA! )

Anyway, took part in the Jurong Lake Run 2013, in July 2013.
It was a 10km run, and of a good weather ! ^^

The cheering from the volunteers helped too.
Their "加油，加油。。"
And, of course, the very important Water Points that i aimed to reach, so that i can have some water to drink, and carry on running.

With mixture of runs and walks.. i managed to find the run. *(Timing was not important, finishing the race was.)


Trying to motivate myself at the 9km marking with this photo...

Continued running and, i reached !


Well done, next run soon.

Bruce Lee - 40 years - 20 July 1973

His way of shouting and fighting.. That yellow suit..






Some of his best quotes..



Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
― Bruce Lee

My faovorite quote : “Be happy, but never satisfied.” ― Bruce Lee

You have been a legend, Bruce Lee.

Hail storm in Singapore - Tuesday, 25 June 2013

Past few days, it was pure heat and haze in the air in Singapore.

Today, it finally rained, and a Hail Storm !
And it happened in the west area of Singapore, the area where i am staying. (But i was in office, and did not witness it with my own eyes.)

However along the way home, i did saw trees of the whole road, actually fell. And in turn, causing a little traffic jam.

I took a picture when i alighted at my bus stop. A block signature was found hanging at the opposite block too !



Anyway, check out the pictures people caught over at Stomp.

What is a hail storm ?
Hail is a form of solid precipitation. It consists of balls or irregular lumps of ice, each of which is called a hailstone Sounds like "raining ice" =P

* * * * * * * *

Since the hail storm happened in the west area of Singapore, ( the area where i am staying ), of course the rain and wind was strong.
Believe it or not, Mum called and informed me that my room got kinda flooded as i did not really shut the windows, and "locking" it.

Yes, i took about 2 hours, to shift my study table, and clean... It could have been longer, luckily mum and dad, helped out!

It was a chance to clear the dirty room. HAHA!

Friends in Singapore, did you witness the Hail Storm today? =)

Hope you are doing good!

Hi Michael,

Hope you are doing good. It's been 4 years since your departure.

Your music still stay. Not to worry.

The Haze, back with a vengeance.

Every year, the haze will come back to us. 
The wind blowing towards us... The lack of rain... 

After a few days of breathing in dust, and itchy eyes.. this time around, it got really terrible, with the Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) hitting a new record of 400, on 21 Jun 2013.
Anything above 300 is considered, Hazardous.

The following picture, cheered me up a little.



Anyway, forecast for 23 Jun 2013, was predicted to be in the very unhealthy range of 200 to 300.

Got myself a mask (not the better N95) but just to prevent myself from breathing in too much of the unwanted particles.


I think i looked more handsome with half the face covered up. (Haha!)

Let's hope it rains, or the fire in Indonesia gets better.

Meanwhile, to all, tons of water, take care!

IOS 7, Android, 傻傻分不清楚。

News back dated few days ago..
Apple got this new IOS 7 that is coming out..

But then, a deeper look, it looks familiar....... (with me, as an ex-Samsung SII user.)



So no new iphone, but a new IOS 7. 

How do you find this IOS 7?

Now should i wait for other new iphones, or try to locate my previous SII...?
Hmm Hmm...

Still in Youth Club ?

Few days back, i received a letter from People's Association (PA).

It was a letter of notice, asking me to a Youth Club meeting. My first thought : since when i was in the Youth Club? And at my age, can i still considered a Youth? (HAHA!!)

According to Wikipedia, "Youth Club" refers to a youth social club, a place where young people can meet and participate in activities such as football, soccer, basketball, table tennis, or video games, or religious activities.




It was the first time, in my 20+ years staying in this area, and the very first time i got this invite.

Now the next question: will i get fined if i did not attend? =x

Have you received such letter before ??

Anyway, i should not be attending it, or....
Maybe i should start practicing the YMCA song.....

Oh, Y... M... C... A....
