Hello there. I am Terry and I am a full-time undergraduate based in Singapore. I take photos, write a blog and design websites.

And no, I'm not a teddy bear.

Power Down

Yesterday I was spending my night over at my cousin’s place. The motivation that kept us staying awake till 1.00am in the morning is the excitement. Yup, excitement fueled our bodies to stay up real late today morning.

When we were telling jokes at 1.10am and laughing our asses of, the air-conditioner and the table lamp suddenly went off. Horrified, we crawled out of the bedroom and found my uncle checking the fuse downstairs. (This reminds me of the New York black-out)

“Nope. The fuse didn’t blow. It’s fine,” he told us while climbing up the stairs, “But then I think it’ssomething wrong with the power line. The entire neighbourhood just blacked out.”

Oh great. This means that 4 of us (my cousin brother and sister + my brother + me myself) will be spending a night in the humid bedroom. Now then I started to think why we should be cretaed to respire and transpire. Creating too much carbon dioxide and water vapour.

Argh, the atmosphere is suffocating and I am sweating profusely. Got out of bed and found my cousin brother panthing for breath. This sucks, especailly when you know that you can’t open the bedroom door, as uncle says it is dangerous since the alarm system of the house is down.

We decided to sleep on the floor. Luckily it is made up of marble, so it conducts a considerable amount of heat from us. Cooling effect takes place but then we are still unable to sleep. Both of us are ligh sleeper, and so a sudden change in the normal environment will keep us awake.

What a night, that gives me only 5 hours of sleep since I’ll have an appointment with the dentist today at 9.00am (I have to wake up at 8.00am). *Yawns*

Your name is required. Why?

  • So that I can address you personally (which I'm more than happy to do).
  • Everyone loves their name to be called, right? Nobody wants to be referred to as 'a certain someone' or Mr X (X-Men members aside).
  • If your post too much spam, your name will be imprinted on a personalised voodoo doll, completely free of charge. I'm just joking!

Your email is needed. Why?

  • Your email is, and will, never be given out to any third party under any conditions (except for people sneaking up behind me when I'm on WP admin).
  • So that I can contact you personally in case of certain issues that I wish to address personally.
  • If you post too much spam, I'll email the same spam you've posted 10 times back to you, completely free of charge.

You can always leave a personal URL behind

  • It can be anything - most people put their blog URL, their facebook page, their Twitter URL, their MySpace or etc.
  • I give love back by saying NO to no-follow. All of your webbie links are dofollows instead.

Twitter. Twitter. Twitter.

  • What is Twitter?: Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 bytes in length.
  • What is my Twitter ID?: To get a Twitter ID, you simply have to sign up for an account at Twitter.com. Your ID will be in the format of your profile's URL - http://twitter.com/[userid].

Hello Easter Egg hunter! You've discovered the magic of the Konami Code!

Yea. You probably know what the Konami code is before getting to this page. So now what? Here is a randomised YouTube video on my favourites list... which includes Rickroll, if you're luck enough to get it.

You are currently watching Wedding Crashers: The Perfect Girl in Typography. Loving it? You can even watch the video in its full screen glory :)
