SONG: Nujabes feat Shing02 - Luv sic (Modal Soul Remix)

By far to me.

One of the best tunes ever.

"cause the beat plus the melody makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently"

Nothing

Sometimes we have to ask ourselves: How much are you willing to sacrifice for nothing.

What do you mean by 'nothing'?

Fun is nothing. It lasts a short span of time but evaporates into thin air soon after, leaving only memories. Memories are nothing too. Intangible.




But. Nothing can mean - everything - to someone.

The disappearance of delectables

Ever wondered what it would be like living 30 years down the road from now?

Dilapidation of cultures. The full stop of tradition. Discontinuity of teaching and skills. The younger do not take up after the older, leaving a whole new way of life in the wake of this conglomerated, media filled, cyber run society where people do not stop and engage in small chat over the weather, bees, and cardboard fixtures.

When the old die off, they take with them the wisdom, knowledge and skills to the grave. It has become very apparent that the younger generation seem more likely to not take up the footsteps of their forefathers. Mostly its because the two cultures that they live in are so different. One can't understand how it is that people can make friends and relationships with faceless people over this intangible space called the Internet; the other can't make it out how they can live sticking to Jurassic boulder by boulder habits. With this disparity, cultures of now and then will quickly disappear in time; bringing with it all the little nostalgic memories and lifestyles.

A great example would be to think of the one thing that binds us all together - food. If you go out often to eat, and are the adventurous type, you will notice that the foods of now have become less delectable, less wholesome, less munch. More old timers are throwing in the rag calling it quits to the culinary arts, passing it on to their children or some other human to continue their recipes. With this, many famous dishes have become smaller, less savoury and much less memorable. By the time 30 years rolls around from now, almost 50% of traditional recipes would be lost in time.

Never again would we see some old guy on a bicycle selling munchies, never again will we see small shops by the roadside offering morsels that make stomachs happy, never again will there be little little nourishments that possess two things that makes them notable - soul & passion.

It's a sad thing thinking of what our next generation would be missing out on.

......in the mean time, Bon Appetit!

SONG: I Don't Want to Set the World On Fire

A real awesome remake of the classic song from the Ink Spots - I don't want to set the world on fire



Enjoy!

Meow?

Meows have it so easy. Eat, sleep, drink, catch strings, fight bugs, and annoy their owners.

Sometimes I wish I was a meow....

SONG: Incubus cover of Lionel Richie's 'Hello'

This is an awesome cover of Lionel Richie's 80's hit song 'Hello'

Naming your children

Names. They stick with you for the rest of your frickin life. Please choose them wisely. Whether it be a given name to yourself, or particularly to your children. Please, PLEASE spare your children the agony and dispair. Imagine the resident big bully in school teasing your child to no end because his name is 'Ferrari Ng' or 'Goh Wee Wee'.

I stumbled upon this blogpost AreshaOnline on names that people have plucked out of the Singaporean Residential Yellow Pages.

Give it a glance, and contemplate your thoughts of your future kids....or that stupid name you wanted to give yourself.
