Change of abode, change of song

Thinking back, almost 3 years ago now, first took my wife and son into JB. With the song playing in my head when i first saw Horizon Hills. Just thought it was appropriate to change the default song to Con te Partiro by Andrea Bocelli. :)

Muses


Tri-coloured coffee at Crystal Pearl Cafe

Every one has a different frequency in life. Everyone is different and unique so how often do you meet someone like your ownself?

Do be careful though, as i learnt of revealing too much of yourself, the other party may misunderstand you completely.

If you could choose the wordings on your own tombstone, how would you like to be remembered by? What values do you stand for in life?
I wish i can put on my tombstone. An honourable, true and kind man. Unfortunately, spent his life alone.

For me. I actually spent most of my life alone come to think of it. Even now, still incomplete and very much by myself at times even if i am surrounded by many people.

Those around me are too busy, making money, everyone is too engrossed to talk. Those who say they
care never do. Staff would only say what they think you want to hear. You don't want your parents to worry and your spouse is always busy. You end up talking to your child and no one else. Recently even he doesn't want to talk.

I guess the only time they remember you is probably during your funeral, fussing over and finally free to visit you. But you are no longer there or care anymore.

On my tombstone. Probably can add on
Born alone. Lived alone. Died alone.

I guess the sad thing in life are aplenty and dying is just one of them. The only thing in life is not meeting someone who is a soulmate and hear your thoughts.

Many people can talk to you and hear your voice. How many hear your soul though?

Random thoughts & some other uses for common household items


This was where i went to that day in Orchard Road

1. Had an unpleasant day once while commuting back to SG, stopped by SG customs who asked me rudely why i am going to SG, which part of Orchard and why am i going to Orchard whether i was going there to work etc.

I asked him that this is an SG car and this is my SG passport, why does it concern him that i am going back to SG? I was dressed in a shirt and tie and my car wasn't the type that would attract attention both good or bad so its weird.

2. There is now a dedicated lane for MACS holders at the 2nd link as well (extreme right) , not sure if anyone shared it on sammyboy yet

3. Bostik bathroom silicon(white) - Concluded it does cover hairline cracks on bathroom tiles exceptionally well. To the point if you do it properly, you can't see any cracks at all.

4. WD40 - Not only useful to get rid of rust(at least for a while), you can use this to wipe crayon or marks caused by plastic or scuff marks.

5. Axe brand oil, can be used to polish a worn part of the parquet or to use it as an emergency cleaning tool.

Hardware store


One 2 Eat cafe at Austin Heights area. Nice and cheap

By the way guys, saw a couple of shops at the Nusa Idaman area, near to the bridge which will bring one over to the new hospital.
They sell bricks as well as roof tiles and even cement on top of normal DIY stuff. Coincidentally, one of the shops there is also called DIY.

There is a new DIY store, Mr DIY based on the 2nd floor just outside Tesco which is a nice place to buy lots of stuff you otherwise have trouble finding in Johore. :)

There are also lots in the Bukit Indah area, notably just outside HH where there are lots of shops.
Even saw one HQ motor repair shop open past 1am on Saturday night.
