i have always felt the hint of hair at the armpit and the navel to be damn sexy. need not be full blown jungle. but a smooth armpit and limbs and everywhere has a bit of sexiness but lack the natural masculinity look. speaking as a submissive bottom, the well groomed, but with hint of hair and strong masculinity is supper sexy.

although i took up this new job with the knowledge that i will not get any increment or bonus for the next 15 months, yesterday my boss told me that they are impressed with my performance and will be putting in a request for increment for me … effective 5 months after starting work. was so happy i had 3 full meals yesterday and worked till 7pm.
i was already feeling a bit of the strain lately from all the work i have and still outstanding. official, moonlighting and private (hilom.com). but it is nice to be recognized. works better than a break. any case am looking forward to my manila trip next week where i will be going whale shark watching with my better half. just thinking about it makes me want to work hard these few days and clear as much backlog as i have.
so …. any time left for exercise? am glad i didnt put much weight on recently. but if i continue to eat like yesterday i dont think i can maintain especially with the low level of physical work i am doing.
we will see ….


no price for guessing who i will pick. the straight and unavailable one on the top. notice the ring he is wearing around his neck.

very soon there will be no more need to carry a separate camera and phone or a water proof bag to store these items when you go to the beach. all that hot bods in tiny trunks begging to be photographed. this is casio’s waterproof mobile phone.

from NEC and expected to be on sale in 2008. a liquid powered touch screen cell phone. is this cool or what. sounds like sci fiction.

this is funny. many have been criticizing apple for its lack of expandability and ports on its macbook air. this image is a parody or a funny way of looking at it.
Podravka, a European food company, recently received their annual
report from the folks at Bruketa & Zinic, but all the pages were
blank—until the book was baked. Yes, those clever fellows at Bruketa
& Zini? put together an annual report that was laced with
thermo-reactive ink. The initially blank pages displayed text once the
book had been covered in foil and baked for 25 minutes at 100°C. The
report was titled, Well Done, and we could not have thought of a better
pun if you held us upside down over an alligator pit and tickled us
with a fluffy feather, but it wasn’t done for just humor’s sake.
An
included recipe sections received the same treatment. When quizzed
about the strange collaboration between book and oven, the creators
said the recipes were works that required diligence and precision; to
get to those very recipes the potential chefs require due precision—a
Darwinian selection mechanism, if you will. [dezeen via gizmodo]

rise and shine. is a brand new week … last few days of the first month of 2008. also the last few days of the cow/bull/ox year. still going to be a working year. have 7 more months to go before i hit 35. while i am still below 35, can i tone up my body, get my work and finances in order?
we shall see.

In honor of the year of the rat and Chinese New Year (Feb. 7), iRiver’s coating their rat/mouse-shaped Mplayer
in gold. This seems like it’s real gold, seeing as each one is
individually numbered and comes in a limited edition box. However, it’s
only available in China, which means you’re going to have to get your
Disney-inspired rat MP3 player imported if you want in on the rat
action. [iRiver Fans via the mp3 players thru Gizmodo]

wonder how many weekend warriors are there. those of us who just work out on weekends. feel the inspiration to move the limbs a bit and break out some sweat. have lots of work to catch up still but i think i better put in some mins in the gym. i know a bod like the one here is not possible for me. that is what … 0% fat? oh well.
i got my iphone OTB 1.1.2 working with chineseSIM adaptor. then last night i upgraded it to 1.1.3 and everything went smoothly. some 3rd party apps not working like summerboard. but phone calls, youtube, internet and even patched the caller ID. am happy with it now.

spotted in japan, macbook air. it actually looks thinner than i thot in this picture. while i know there is a bit of an illusion built in because they made the edges thinner …. down to 0.17″ but in the middle it is about 0.7″. oh … am going to be so torn whether to get it or not. especially since rumours of a more powerful macbook pro is coming out soon.

25, SMU student
Height: 1.78m
Weight: 69kg
Exercise regimen: I try to hit the gym three times a week. The first half of my gym sessions consists of weights training, working on two or three muscle groups each time.
Since I’m trying to gain a bit of mass, my routine typically consists of lifting heavy weights, three or four sets of about 10 repetitions for each muscle.
I usually end each session with a 5km run or a 20km cycle. I attend muay thai classes once every week and play soccer every Sunday morning.
Diet: I don’t adhere to a healthy diet regimen, as I believe that as long as I eat in moderation, no food is too unhealthy for consumption.
I try to take five meals each day, instead of three huge meals, as the body digests better this way. I usually take high-protein food after weight training to aid muscle recovery.
Breakfast is the most important meal for me. I try to have my dinner before 9pm. Fruits are good. I try to avoid alcohol.

sunday times hot bot is not out yet …. so i thot i put some other inspiration on prior to my sunday run. have not been exercising since my half marathon in early dec. excluding the hard construction work during my 2 weeks of military service that is.

this 42″ plasma tv with a full computer built in is kind of cool. always felt squarish boxy looking design that is simple looks cool. one of the reason i am not too keen on the macbook air curved corners. click on the image for some details in crave.

very interesting design and concept. i can only assume there is some mechanism at the conical bulb that will rotate a weight making the whole dial rotate based on the time. instead of numbers the text on the edge are a bit descriptive like “then it will also become ten, and inevitably, you think its eleven, but then you will realise it is twelve …”
i have added a new design tag. cause i realise i like to highlight new creative and elegant design ideas as well. had been mostly putting it under the tech tag but thot a new tag is more appropriate. this low-cost attic staircase was built out of stacked pine boxes, filling a space too narrow for regular steps. plenty steep but damned cool.

inspired by the new apple macbook air advertisement, a company came up with this as a laptop case for the macbook air. click on the image for more details of the case.
