Roy & JD Hooked up!

I personally really really like the wedding photos. Never see them looking so good before >.<>
A while back Roy asked if I'd perform at his wedding if there was no pay. Which to me was the most silly question cos I would pay to perform at his wedding. I am so honoured he even thought of me (and Andrew and Hans) it's kinda crazy.

On a sidenote the white tuxedo seems to be gaining popularity among bridegrooms. Which is cool really. Think it looks cleaner and brighter. I think I wanna get married just so I can wear a white tux and take nice pictures.

Plus Colin's going to be best man at the wedding. SEE to the RAZY.

To Break A World Record: Day 1

They're going to hold a Record Setting session on Sunday morning. This is a trick we call a Suicide, which is one of my favourite tricks.

I hold the National Record for consecutively catching that 22 times. The World Record tracked by the AYYA by the German dude sits at a whooping 42.

Having not practiced consecutively catching suicides in probably 3 or 4 years I am Super Rusty. Still, I um.. kinda decided a few hours ago to give the World Record a shot.

Day 1 training was not too encouraging. The yoyo I'm using currently doesn't spin long enough to hit even 35. So I decided to bust out the old (equally rusty) Minimotu, cleaned it up, and it seems to be doing pretty well except I wish it had a bigger gap so the string wouldn't keep slipping out.

Technique wise, Im probably going with slow and steady catching one at a time. The rush technique is waaay too dangerous. Still the rust is showing. I rarely even hit above 30 concesutives. Only managed to go above 42 twice. A 49 and 43.

More training tomorrow's aim is to hit 42 catches 10 times. Only 3 more days to practice Hah. And I dont even know if this event is recognised by the very picky AYYA.

Camwhoring: Counting with Shermaine

I think it was a reaction to us just sitting on the sofa where the camwhores usually sit on. Or something. SHERMAINE STARTED IT. Then Ken then me :/ good for laughs.






9 is just too....

All you cool manly guys are missing out on the fun! And ridiculousness that comes with it.

and we're on...LIVE!

Website just went up www.superyoyo.com.sg actually yesterday. Lots of things I can't talk about cos it still is work but oh well. Did what they wanted, and the damn thing works.

And if everything falls in place, I'll be updating and maintaining the website, which calls for "Teaching Myself Dreamweaver CS3 In 24 Hours" and what might possibly be the book they wrote just for me. All courtesy of the severely overlooked National Libraries. Still a very good resource after all these years.

Only 23 more hours to go!

It's Michael Jackson Night on Channel 5

Go catch it quick!
One whole night for one amazing dude.
Unprecedented.

It Might Get Loud

MUST MUST MUST MUST Watch. I hope it makes it over to Singapore!


From the description:
"The history of the electric guitar as seen from the point of view of three significant musicians: Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, U2's The Edge and the White Stripes' Jack White. It tells the personal stories, of three generations of electric guitar virtuosos. It reveals how each developed his unique sound and style of playing his favorite instrument. Concentrating on the artists musical rebellion, traveling with him to influential locations and provoking rare discussion as to how and why he writes and plays."

There've been so many commercial documentaries that try to showcase, a certain sub-culture (be it sneakers, hackers, corporate investing) but tend to just gloss over and miss so many nuances and many times the main essence of the culture and the driving forces behind them. This one seems like it might finally get it. I hope it does. Really.

Thanks Hans for the all important Heads Up!

Don't Let Them Say You Ain't Beautiful

Eminem drops his new steez. I mean single. Lyrically not his best. Still just cool for the rainy Sundays (now) or the reflective long walks home.

Singapore International Water Week Pt. 2

Arrgh! Finally some free time to post this. Us getting ready for lunch. Theirs, not ours.

This is the very fun Jonathan and "I don't fit in NTU" Daphne copying what one lady manager keeps saying with the shrillest of voices.

This is Lunch.

Alex has a sexy voice and a fractured wrist and is waaaay to analytical for his age. I think that's Jasper.



Million Dollar Dealtime.

This is the Pimp shizzle. I mean lecture hall.

The people there to listen get paper pen, wine glass, Mentos (I stole one HAHA), jug of water.

Everyone of them.

Alex + "Triple Pirouette" Magdalene + Jasper + Ken + Sherms

Jonathan trying to start conversation with moving targets. I really don't know alot of their names.

I think this is the first time i took out the camera in the boardroom. I said 1, 2, 3, Blogspot!


Teet! (okok not cute I know)

When Jon and I are ultra bored we play CheeeKoohPahk! (That Scissors Paper Stone Double hand game where you're supposed to make your hands match your opponent's) Race to 11 and the loser must eat a ridiculous amount of pasta at the buffet lunch.
I was destroyed 11-5 but later Jon dared me to nullify the forfeit by convincing a random female co-worker we don't know to play 1 round of CheeeKoohPahk! with me.

So if you know a Marie Tay from like Singapore Poly's Enviromental Course help me send her a massive shoutout for bothering to learn the game(cos she has no childhood) and then playing with me (saving me from lunch's sometimes horrible pasta). Like 4 rounds LOL. Fun times.

I know I felt quite shitty when it ended cos like I won't get to work with these people again.
