Happy bird-day to you...

Blah, blah, blah... Majullah SingaBORE-rah! Now blow the fucking candles and get on with it!!!

Here's to more unwarranted tax increases, more ridiculous penal codes, more summons, more pointless campaigns, TWO more bloody in-camp trainings and even more boredom on this "party" island!

Can't believe that there are stupid wankers actually willing to pay blackmarket prices for seats to the stupid repetitive National Day Parade. Different location, same old crap! Oh, the Apaches are making an appearance? Like big fucking hairy deal!

Wanted really to see The Simpsons Movie today, after much "recommendation" that it's a hilarious flick and I should catch as it'll perk me up. Then again, it'll be packed everywhere today and it'll be a bit of a rush as I've got work later (what public holiday?). DOH!

Maybe Sunday then... if I'm not in a coma. Well, at least I finally got my hair cut yesterday.

In the meantime, some new options / projects just landed on my lap this afternoon. Details confidential so I'm not saying much.

On this memorable day, it was about 20 years ago that I caught the DJing bug and completely screwed up my A-Levels because of it. It's kind of strange because it seems like not that long ago when I bought my first vinyl (the soundtrack to the all-time classic Hip Hop docu-movie "Beat Street"). As I type this entry, I'm thinking of all the key moments that have made these past decade or so quite extraodinary. Let me try at the beginning...
