quiet time in manila
am finally done with the army field camp exercise. might just miss it. am now in manila for a week of vacation. but i am actually more stressed than ever. my sideline work has piled up over the 2 weeks i was in the military. day job also been sending me some emails that i might have to respond too.
nevertheless, i have started reading Quiet Time … the book i mentioned a few posts back. not too bad. will strike a chord with most singaporean gay men in the late 30s. although given gay life experiences can be rather typical at times, most gay men will find there are some aspect of the stories somewhere they relate to.

discover the world in miniature photography
this is a very interesting site and technology. it takes another real world photograph and processes it in a technology called tilt shift and it ends up looking like a miniature model. check it out here.

sweet couple
this is a photo from one of the gadget website that is covering the CES (consumer electronic show) in las vegas. below shows (i assume) 2 gadget reporters having an official massage. think they are a couple. aren’t they sweet. can’t see the face but i assume they are both males (adam and mark)
Singapore full of robots
just a geeky post. was surprised when i came across this chart that Singapore actually has the second highest number of industrial robots in the world, slightly above Korea.
interesting to me because i am manufacturing and automation trained.
military break
was let out for the weekend. the last few days was totally boring. sleeping in the bunk for like 5 hrs a day during the day time. training was less than 2 hrs a day and mostly very quick revision.
the tough part should be next week. hoping it is not going to be as tough as previous years. 4 days of in field exercise. sure hope it burns some of the calories i have been piling on while serving my military service the last few days.
holy soap, salt and pepper
am getting ready for my military service. will not be able to update this blog for a while until i complete my service. some how i am not looking forward to it, even though i will be with lots and lots of men in uniform.
Quiet Time …. “Singapore’s best gay novel”?
found this review of the book launch on Fridae’s website. might just buy it and read it during my vacation to manila after my reservist. for those not familiar, the author wrote Singapore’s first gay novel “Peculiar Chris” 17 years ago (wow how time flies). i never read the book, since at that age i was more keen on reading erotica. now being older and wiser, i guess is time i read some serious literature.
the author (isnt he cute) wrote a second book which was a follow up on Peculiar Chris. this is his third book. after i have read it, i will update here with my review. in the mean time you can read the review on fridae website at the link here.
book spoiler alert … the review exposes some of the themes in the book … i extract some of it here below after the link.

Quiet Time
still procrastinating …
well … i have been doing stuff. did jogging on 1, 3 and 4 Jan. a bit of gym, some shopping, some socializing (minimal … am getting more anti-social as i grow older) and went to HortPark and Marina Barrage to take photos. had lots of food … i guess as a start to 2009, not too bad from the have fun perspective.
about time i get some work done though and continue on my exercise and less food.
was originally planning on updating this blog to a newer look but i guess that is now postponed.

Happy New Year 2009 … fighting fit
first post of the year. just ran 7km this morning to welcome the new year. something i learnt from my ex, to start off well. one of my new year resolution is to hit 15% or below body fat. cant remember if it was the same resolution last year. but am feeling more positive (the after exercise adrenaline speaking) that i can reach that goal this year. so to help me along … more photos for inspiration to come.
