[About this blog] Inspired by local soccer player Mike Lim during my rookie reporter days at Singapore Polytechnic, I set up this blog in August 2002. I feel that blogging is a novel platform to document interesting facets of my life and my thoughts on certain issues. [Email blogger] ephraim@singnet.com.sg

[singapore river raft race]
have completed filming my video... it's gonna be edited by ICT guys on attachment at CCOM..... nice guys they are when they did the shooting todae... anyway, i'm feeling tired and a bit sick coz we filmed for about seven hours.....

it's a five minute clip only leh.... jus think if you were going to do a 45 min episode of a drama serial...

one thing i learnt today was that practice makes perfect... after almost about six takes for the first segment, i became more confident in front of the camera....

can't wait to do another one... i'll have to wait till my hair is of considerable length then.... also can't wait to view my vid....

[what's your version of love]
THE ORIGINAL VERSION: If you love something, set it free... If it comes back, it's yours, If it doesn't, it never was yours....
THE PESSIMIST VERSION: If you love somebody, set her free ... If she ever comes back, she's yours, If she doesn't, well, as expected, she never was yours.
THE OPTIMIST VERSION: If you love somebody, set her free ... Don't worry, she will come back.
THE SUSPICIOUS VERSION: If you love somebody, set her free ... If she ever comes back, ask her why.
THE IMPATIENT VERSION: If you love somebody, set her free ... If she doesn't come back within some time limit, forget her.
THE PATIENT VERSION: If you love somebody, set her free ... If she doesn't come back, continue to wait until she comes back ...
THE PLAYFUL VERSION: If you love somebody, set her free ... * If she comes back, and if you love her still, set her free again, repeat *
THE LAWYER'S VERSION: If you love somebody, set her free... Clause 1a of Paragraph 13a-1 in the second amendment of the Matrimonial Freedom Act clearly states that...
THE BILL GATES VERSION: If you love somebody, set her free... If she comes back, I think we can charge her for re-installation fees and tell her that she's also going to get an upgrade.
THE STATISTICIAN'S VERSION: If you love somebody, set her free... If she loves you, the probability of her coming back is high If she doesn't, your relationship was improbable anyway.
THE POSSESSIVE VERSION: If you love somebody don't ever set her free.
THE MBA VERSION: If you love somebody set her free... instantaneously... and look for others simultaneously.
THE PSYCHOLOGIST'S VERSION: If you love somebody set her free... If she comes back, her super ego is dominant If she doesn't come back her id is supreme. If she doesn't go, she must be crazy.
THE FINANCE EXPERT VERSION: If you love somebody set her free... If she comes back, its time to look for fresh loans. If she doesn't, write her off as an asset gone bad.
THE MARKETING VERSION: If you love somebody set her free... If she comes back, she has brand loyalty If she doesn't, reposition the brand in new markets.

[moving on]
will be moving back to hq bmtc to sleep..... watched two movies a few days ago.... mr deeds and inner senses....

in mr deeds, a producer get close to mr deeds by claiming that she is a nurse and reports on his life in a tv show.... her boss blows the story out of proportion and the show gets out of hand.... it's a case of betryal.. but things change for the better when she finds out that she has fallen for him..... so the story ends with a happ ending...

in inner senses, a girl sees a doctor and tells him that she sees ghosts.... the doctor goes through a lot of effort to help the girl get to her senses.... but in a twist of events, the doctor begins seeing ghosts too..... it's a story a la sixth sense.... turns out that the doctor also experieced almost the same childhood as the girl and his ex is back to haunt him.... as in all stories, the ending turns out to be a happy one....

cool movies i must say.... ever since going into the army, i've taken a liking to movies.... something i did not usually do so often....

[fann wong in shanghai knights]
it's official..... jackie chan's english is sucky... no, i'm not dissing him... it's a fact... fann wong starts the show by lighting a candle in the first scene of shanghai knights... and we hope that this candle will burn brightly enough to give her more hollywood film exposure...

she licks, she kisses and she kicks some butt in her first hollywood adventure which took three months of gruelling filming in prague.... this show is full of action packed sequences and is a good first for fann.....

[volcano high]
watched that movie and a little bit of naked weapon..... volcano high is a tad too exagerrated... but the effects were cool..... naked weapon has quite a nice storyline that keeps me hooked.... not just maggie q..... can't wait to continue watching the movie on tuesdae when i go back to camp....

perhaps i will try to catch shanghai knights too....
