REACH.

Remember Wall-e kinda love? This is it. Simple and sweet. With a tinge of melancholy.

"A tiny robot is given the gift of life with only one limitation, the length of his power cable. When a curious bird appears at the workshop window, the robot feels a lust to live outside of his reach that may be his demise."

Cats with attitude & style.

I love cats (but unfortunately my Ma don't) and someday when I eventually own one, I'll give him or her a photo-shoot like this one!

Microsoft Vista tries to portray itself as "bouncy castle of fun".

While I think this ad is creative, I'm sorry, Microsoft Vista: You can never be a "theme park of entertainment - a bouncy castle of fun".

The Bird And The Bee performing Meteor live.

One night a meteor came to my door and he asked me to dance.
One night a shooting star he traveled far just to ask me dance.

My favorite song*

"In fact there are so few people that's crazy that I feel like I know them all by first names!"

"I've a story about following dreams, or maybe more accurately, it's a story about finding a path and make those dreams real. you know what it's like to wake up in the middle of the night with a vivid dream, and you know how if you don't have have a pencil and pad by the bed, it'll be completely gone by the next morning.

I have one of those dreams when I was 23. When I suddenly woke up I was thinking: What if you can download the whole web and just keep the links?... Sometimes it's important to wake up and stop dreaming."

Larry Page's commencement speech at U of Michigan makes me excited about my own commencement. FYI I turn 23 this July (same time as the commencement) and somehow I feel inspired. Exciting times ahead for my peers and I!

P.S: Note the audio is not working between 0:43 and 2:28. So just skip over it and listen to the rest of Larry's awesome words.

Bad Change - Aware, Singapore. Awesome poster by @luciusysg

This AWARE fiasco in Singapore has brought up so many controversial debates: Feminist movement, homosexuality, religions, secularism, transparency, etc. It's heartening to know that there are passionate folks out there who care and dare to voice their opinions. I was there at the AWARE Extraordinary Meeting on 2 May 2009. After that day, I no longer think my country is as apathetic as others paint us to be. Here are the photos that I took at the meeting: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lifeofpei/sets/72157617556395153/

And of course, kudos to Lucius Young for this awesome poster! More of his pics can be found at http://luciusyg.blogspot.com/ .
