  • Quotes From Black Hawk Down

    Blackhawk Down Poster

    Hoot: When I get home people will ask me, “Hey Hoot, why do you do it man? Why? You some war junkie?” You know what I’ll say? I won’t say a goddamn word. Why? They won’t understand. They won’t understand why we do it. They won’t understand that it’s about the men next to you, and that’s it. That’s all it is.

    Hoot: Y’know what I think? Don’t really matter what I think. Once that first bullet goes past your head, politics and all that shit just goes right out the window.

    Hoot: Sergeant, you got your men this far. You did it right today. Now you gotta start thinking about getting them out of here.

    Eversmann: Nobody asks to be a hero, it just sometimes turns out that way.

    Struecker: No one gets left behind, you know that.

  • My Friend, Davin

    My Friend, Davin

    Find A Friend, Davin (Primary school classmate)

    My friend Davin. The guy on the right with the tongue sticking out and without the cap. He was my primary school classmate. We used to take school bus to school everyday and during our journey, we would play chess. We liked to play animal chess, english chess and chinese chese. And this was how we got through our boring time in the bus. He was my best companion during my primary school days. We kept each other entertained during boring time in school.

    This friend of mine did not speak at all until he was in secondary school. If he spoke, it would be very very soft and you could hardly heard him. Not even when teachers asked him questions. After PSLE, three years later, we met again and this time he spoke to me. This was the first time I heard him calling my name. I was overjoyed because I was expecting he would show me his sign language to communicate with him.

    We met a few times during the period and kept in contact through email. After “O” Level, we were separated again. I wondered how was he now.

  • Chinese Tea Venture Update

    My two-month stay in Singapore was not fruitful. One of the reasons I stayed longer in Singapore was to find the right personnel to form my core team to jumpstart the chinese tea business.

    This short trip here, almost everyday, I met up with many old friends and partners trying to link the right person to the right portfolio. So far I have not mix and match to form the right team yet. I need more time to scout for the team.

    I will jumpstart the business once I have everything is in my accordance.

  • Ten Dollars Blowjob, Thirty Dollars Sex

    After 36 hours of restless sleepless nights, I finally when home to rest. Late in the night, dark on the street, I was on my way home, walking up the slope to where I stayed. A girl suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said hello to me and start conversing with me. I stopped the conversation, curiously responded, “Do I know you?”

    After some dialogues with her, she popped the question, “I give you blowjob for ten dollars.” I was freaked out and rejected her on the spot. I doubled my pace and suddenly she was nowhere to be found.

    Then after a good bath and a short rest, I went out for supper. Walking down the slope again my mind still analysing on the ten dollars blowjob. Something amiss! Her reason given to me for doing that was to raise some money to return home.

    After supper I walked home and was approached by another girl. thirty dollars for sex, including massage. I was shocked again. Now I wanted to know how this curiosity gonna kill the cat! I was not really interested to have sex but to find out what could thirty dollars offered?

    For ten nanoseconds, my logical mind was computing what was going on here. Was it a trap? Would I be kidnapped? Would I be robbed? Another ten nanos I convinced myself I had nothing much too lose except my belongings with me. Another five nanos I decided to let curiosity killed me and I went with her.

    She took me to a dark lane, darker and darker until I could not see my own hand in front of my eyes. I wanted to turn back but my mobile phone rang and I answered it and unconsciously I walked along with her.

    The place was pitch dark and the room was only the lighted place. She quickly striped herself naked and hurried me to get on to the bed. I undressed and put my clothing on the table beside the door and asked was the door locked because I did not feel it safe. Her reply was locked and I took her words.

    I followed her tempo and got into the bed. I laid on my chest and she sat on my butt and gave me a nice warm back massage. The rub was good and we chatted. When I almost dozed off she said to me she was going out to take some water and she dressed up and left.

    After a while, my mind suddenly got alerted and I jumped up and checked my belongings. Too late! I knew I was robbed.

    As I recalled, every move she made was precise. the lightbulb, the bed, everything was positioned well to conceal her partner from stealing my belongings.

    If I had not been sleepless for the past few days, I could have figured out that there was a syndicate operating in my neighbourhood. That day I was too restless.

    What an experience! Come to think of it, really cool to encounter such. Glad I was safe.

  • Dead in My Kitchen

    If you had visited my place and you felt that you had been here before then most probably you had watch our local drama True Files. My place had been used to film True Files a few times. The most prominent scene was the mocked up of a dead man died in my kitchen and blood all over the floor.

    I did not expect my humble home could be used as a place for shooting. Now I was resting on my oriental style furniture posting this blog. And this furniture was also aired on TV too.

  • What Is Sparse Image?

    What Is Sparse Image?

    Sparse Image Screenshot

    Recently I updated my Carbon Copy Cloner to version 3.0-b5. When cloning, there was a new option to clone a harddisk to a sparse image.

    So what is a sparse image?

    A sparse image is a file that can be mounted like any other disk, and the disk size will grow as you put more data in it. It is a dynamic disk image. It will reduce in size if data are taken out of the image.

    A dmg image is another kind of disk image. It is a fixed size image and can be either read-only or read-write. If you created the image size 10GB, it will be fixed at 10GB, even if you only store 10MB of data. A .dmg is not dynamic but a fixed size image.

  • Take Time To Rest

    There were three wood-cutters. Matthew, Mark and Luke.

    Matthew was a hardworking cutter who worked day and night. On the other hand, Mark worked for an hour and rested for ten minutes. Luke who was the laziest worked for ten minutes and took a break of ten minutes.

    At the end of the day, they gathered together and see who had the most woods. Mark had the most woods after calculation.

    Matthew: ”Why I worked so hard and so many hours than you and yet you had more woods than me?”

    Mark: ”During my rest, I sharpened my axe”

    After a year of resting, I recovered from my mental breakdown. Now I was more acute then I was before. Ever since I started joining the workforce and taking the responsibility of adulthood, life was getting weary as years went by. Sitting down and looking back my past achievements, it was a relieve that I came this far but not worth the sacrifice i had made to achieve what I had today.

    During my sabbath year, I really rested my whole being. I took my time to renew my life, my missions, my destiny, etc. I took the time to evaluate my goals I had set ten years ago and set new goals for my next decade. My body was weak and I took the time to get back my health by losing weight, keeping fit and healthy diet. Now my body was in good condition again to accept new challenges in life.

    My Sabbath year was ending soon and my whole being was energized again. Now, time for me to step out, step up, and conquer the world again.

    So when was the last time you took a good break?

  • Prophecy From Prophet Chuck Flynn

    On the 12th day of September 1992, Prophet Chuck Flynn prophesied to me and here is the transcript of the prophetic words.

    Because of the anointing that flow through you
    with the prophetic zeal of the house of the Lord,
    I have seal you in your forehead as I seal Ezekiel.

    In the countenance of Ezekiel flow in that anointing,
    I have you prophesy to the wind
    and the wind shall move over this country
    and many countries shall hear your voice
    and my peace shall be upon thee as the prophetic anointing.

    I will prosper thee and thou shall be strong to go forth in my name
    for you will be very and then even creative
    many shall be set free and great miracles ye shall follow thee
    for the peace and the glory of our God

    Because you will know my word
    and I will give you the desire of your heart
    and your love yield that emulate situation shall be hailed
    in the coming harmony with what my purpose is
    and we will rejoice together. Amen.

    I received this prophetic words fifteen years ago. Today looking back at it, half the prophecy was fulfilled. That was “the wind shall move over this country and many countries shall hear your voice” And now I started to travel internationally. I was trying to find another transcript prophecy from Bishop Bill Hamon. Putting the two prophecies together, I could see clearly where my mission was.

    I recalled, when the prophecies were released to me, I was told I would be starting to travel at the age of thirty. True enough, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away”, the word of the Lord had come to pass. At the age of thirty I was travelling and now transcending territorial borders and making the world as my home.

    “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love him.” We would never comprehend God’s intention for us. I had been running away from my calling for many years and now i was back to square one; back to where the prophecy had paused. Is just a matter of time for my prophecy to be fulfilled and ordained into the tribe of priesthood.

    Now I understood and felt what Paul meant when he said he was given a thorn in his flesh (12v7) in his second letter to the Corinthians. Over the years I also prayed to God thrice to take it away from me. And today God gave me the same answer He gave to Paul long time ago, “My grace is sufficient for you and for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”

  • In God I Trust

    Once a upon a time, there was a man. He was an acrobat. After many years of practices, this man went to the Nigeria Fall to perform his stun.

    There were two large crowds on the both sides of the Fall. He hooked a rope across the Fall, and said to the people: “I’m going to walk across this river.”

    The man walked slowly and steadily to the other side of the Fall. The crowds cheered and clapped for his great performance.

    The man: “Do you think I can do it again?”

    The crowds: “Yes.” (The crowds whistled and clapped)

    The man: “Do you think I can do it again?”

    The crowd: “Yes.”(The crowds whistled and dance)

    The man: “Does anyone want me to carry him across the Fall?”

    There was a great silence in the crowds, as quiet as a hunting dog when it is near a bird.

    Then a young boy came out and said: “Carry me.”

    The man carried the boy swiftly and safety to the other side. The crowds were amazed by the boy.

    The crowd: “Why did you allow him to carry you across?

    The boy: “Because he is my father and I believed and trusted in him that he would carry me through.”

    How many of us still have the child-like faith in God, just believe and trust in the Lord. Although I go to church irregularly nowadays, my heart is still with my Father God. Past three years, I have live the darkest night of my life and during those troubled days I still put my trust in God that He will walk me through.

    I have fallen but now I rise up and take heart and be strong again. I continue to put my trust in the Lord for all the days of my life and all can be summarised in Psalms 23 verse 4 … I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for You are with me, Your rod and staff they comfort me.
