The 90s kid tag

 Half of December has gone by and I have 4 ore posts to go before I complete my new year resolution for this year... I guess i should not make any blogging resolutions new year.. They are so hard to keep when you have a target.. I will just stick to writing whenever I like it...writing seems easier that way..

Oh dear, I just remembered that I have a fanfic to complete... This will serve as a reminder for me to not make new year resolutions about blogging, it kills the fun..

 Anyway, I found another fun tag to do.. It's the 90s kid tag... I grew up in the 90s so this is like a walk down memory lane.. Hopefully I remember what I have been doing throughout that period as my memory is kinda failing me lately... I blame it on aging...

Here goes!!

1. Favorite TV show

I had a few... There were Full House...

 Family Matters... "Did I do THAT???"

I was and still am a TV buff.. These are those I have been watching before I could understand what was happening.. and of course my ultimate favourite was SESAME STREET

And.... Power Rangers!!

2. Favorite Toy

The first thing that came to my mind is....

Polly Pocket!!! These are pocket size doll house with different themes, super interesting and super fun!! I have always dream of having a doll house but it's really expensive.. so Polly Pocket is the next best thing... but if you have younger brothers or sisters that are in the age of putting everything they could grasp into their mouths this should be put away.. the dolls are around 2cm tall so it's hazardous... I remember my mom kept away all my Polly Pocket dolls when my sis was that age, leaving me with just the doll house and my imagination...

3. Favorite Commercial 

I actually found the commercial on youtube!!!

Remember how I said I always wanted a doll house.. It's all because of this ad!!

Doll houses were like the coolest thing a girl could ever own...

4. NSync or Backstreet Boys

I actually liked NSync but I listen to more Backstreet Boys.. so I am not sure which one I prefer more than the other...

5. Weirdest Fashion Trend

I dont really know fashion trends back then... so.. I'll just pass this..

6. Favorite Collectables

I used to collect a whole lot of erasers.. not sure if they are considered as collectables but I sure got a hell lot of nagging for the heaps of erasers I have been collecting and I will never let anybody use them..

 There were those which comes in all colours, shapes and sizes which I can get with a pack of noodle snack.. JJ (I couldn't find the image of the snack from google but those who were kids during the 90s should have known about this.. the snack that has a free eraser!!)

And the very popular flag erasers... there are a ton of designs on these kind of rectangular erasers.. I remember I had the power rangers, hello kitty, and alphabets version... that sums up to a hell lot of erasers!!!

7. Favorite Beanie Baby

The sesame street ones!!!

8. How many Tamagotchi's did you go through?

One... and I had it after the Tamagotchi trend died down... because i could get it for a cheaper price...

9. Favorite Game Console + Game

I dont own any game consoles... can I just replace it with a PC game?? My favourite was Wacky Race.. It's not just a racing game.. you get to throw bombs and spill spikes at your opponents..

10. Favorite Disney Movie

 The incredibles was out in 2004~~ so I can't say The Incredibles... So I'll go for Mulan.. Asian pride!!

11. Favorite Music Artist

I was really into chinese pop that time.. and I had loads of favourite singers.. My favourite that time should have been Ekin Cheng..

12. Favorite Nick Jr. show

I had to google this since it made no difference to me back then.. Cartoons were not split base on whether they are from Disney or Nick or Cartoon Network.. From where I come from, they will all be in the same channel on TV... My favourite was.. Inspector Gadget!!

13. Favorite Candy

Push Pop!! It was a luxury back then because it's kinda hard to get...

14. Favorite Game (Board game, School game, etc.)

Monopoly!!

15. Favorite McDonald's Happy Meal Toy

There was a time when the Power Rangers, the movie was aired, they gave Power Ranger toys!!

16. Favorite Book

Books by Enid Blyton!! I have been reading then since I was 5!! My ultimate favourites!!

17. Favorite Clothing Store

Nothing in particular I guess.. I don't even have a particular favourite now..

18. What would you watch when you'd get home from school?

I watch a lot a TV back then... I will quickly finish my homework just to watch them... I remember a particular sequence on either Tuesday or Wednesday.. There's Theodore, the tugboat

 And then, there's TinTin.. 

Also, there's Noddy on Fridays!!

 Yup, I took almost the whole day to write this.. a good walk down memory lane..

My Personality Type: The Harmony-seeking Idealist


Have not been doing personality tests for quite a while, here's one I just did and it offered to be shared on Blogger.. so why not??

[Q]uick question: Computer Radiation Protection Glasses, should I??

Just a while ago, I saw a deal on one of the many group buying websites available that spams the heck out of your email inbox...



Computer Radiation Protection Glasses... My eyesight is pretty good, I don't need glasses for clearer vision but this is not to correct my eyesight but it is to protect my eyes... I was quite tempted to get one for myself.. Since I am facing the computer most of the time of my life.. At work, I face the computer as long as my working hours... maybe besides the 1 hour lunch break and occasional washroom breaks which is less than 2 hours... however I bring lunch from home most of the time so we could just deduct that 1 hour... Then, when I reach home.. after a while of resting, I will get my laptop out and I am facing the computer again... watching videos, checking Facebook, playing games and even writing blogs...

Besides the computer, there's is your phone... and since I have converted into a smart phone user, I am also exposed to radiation from the phone... Although I only use my phone for live messaging, and microblogging... and not forgetting the occasional game-playing... My eyes are constantly attacked by radiation!!!

I believe that is the life of most of the people out there... so, i have been thinking... should I get a pair for myself before I need to wear one for real to correct my eyesight for the rest of my life?? No harm preventing right??

There's still 8 days for me to consider... I am still considering... Should I get one?? Is it necessary??
Do leave a comment and let my know your opinions on this.

[P]erhaps I should...

I am very easily inspired and impressed by indie filmmakers, how the strive about to pursue their dreams and how they work pass criticisms, rejections and all sorts of hurdles to achieve what they have got today... I really enjoyed watching self-made videos on youtube just to be reminded that I once (and secretly still am) dream of producing videos and showing them to people who are interested from all over the world...

However, no matter how inspired I was... I still could not find the courage to step out and try to make it happen.. I fear that it is not a secured career, there will not be a stable income and I need to give up a whole lot of securities that I currently possess in order to get going... I have absolutely no courage of doing that.. That's just what separating me and my dreams.. I could not let go the luxury of a steady income..

Watching videos like this always stabs me hard... Why can't I just be who I want to be, for once, not care about the circumstances and the consequences...




Oh well... I am not proud of it but I still don't have the guts to follow what I want in life.. I love writing stories, I love joining video productions, I love early call times and late wraps that makes a great video where everybody would cheer for... the sense of fulfillment and satisfaction I always craved.. spending days in all sort of environments, rain or shine just to get a 5 minute video done... that's the life I prepared myself for...

But, I guess... it pays to be gutless.. like me... giving up a steady income is just so hard... especially after knowing the real situation surrounding me... It makes it even harder to just let go and just go... I have such a strong need of security that even the thought of letting go just suffocates me...

So here I am... watching videos and mentally stabbing myself everytime I see people leading the life I have always dream of...

Just a word of advise, to anybody who is reading this... if you dont step out and start walking into the path of your dreams, you will most probably end up like me, sitting in front of a PC with the luxury of a paid day job writing out your regrets just like this...

p/s: Old thinkings die hard, even harder when you need them to

I hope you could live your dream although I couldn't!!

[O]oopss... Sorry for being slow

I just realised that Blogger has changed the maximum posts per page limit.. instead of it being how many posts you have set it to show, it now goes on its own, deciding how many posts will be shown base on how big your post is, which means if there are loads of pictures and videos in your posts, you would most probably be seeing that one very "heavy" post on your blog and people will have to click "older post" in order to read your other posts.... Which... most people won't do unless they are a big fan of your blog and are very eager to know about your life, which.... are the readers I doubt I have... I don't even know who reads my blog anymore, I receive spam comments more that anything else I have received from my blog... Thank god blogger has the auto-filter-to-spam thingy...

Ok, back to the main topic... since I could not do anything to change the number of posts that I want to be seen on my blog.. which... by the way, my posts are super super "light" if you would compare to those picture-video-loaded ones that other people posts.. Mine mostly consists of words and an occasional picture or two... I don't really have loads of pictures on my posts, at least my few recent posts doesn't so why is my blog only showing 3 posts on its page???

Side tracked again... since I cannot change the number of posts... I have added another column on the left of my blog so that the initial column on the right does not flow all the way deep down that you will have to scroll your heart out until the cows come home to reach the end (I am aware that I have quite a LONG sidebar)... Why are you being so hard on me, blogger?? I am just someone who writes for fun and i might not even have "real" readers, judging on the number of spam comments I get everyday.. why can't you just leave me alone and leave my blog however it was before??? Now, my blog-banner-head-thingy is not centred and I don't know how to fix it.. I don't dare to meddle with the HTML codes in case I screw something up big time and have to spend even more time fixing it.. anybody, has any idea on how to move my blog header and footer thingy to the centre of the page?? Your comments are most welcome and will be appreciated 100%!!

Oh well, that's all for now...

Will have more meaningful posts soon... please bear with me..

[M]ay not be my 600th post, but I played 600 games!

I kinda lost my momentum on posting blogs because clearly all has been pretty slow everywhere... I am now in the midst of moving my yahoo kimo blog and yahoo hk blog to a new site because apparently, yahoo is closing their blog section so I am officially kicked out of yahoo blogs and trying to explore some new sites.. I am not considering blogger because I already have 2 blogs with blogger and my picasa album is outta memory so with another blog under this account I may not be able to post many pictures.. unless... I get another account which is...  I don't think so... so i don't have a blog to blog on so my chinese posts are on hold at the moment...

I sure hope I can manage 36 posts by the end of this year... I can feel my new year resolutions fading away.. I have not managed to complete any of them yet..

My blog just past its 7th year old birthday and I already written 500 posts... that's around 70 posts per year.. 36 should not be a problem.... hopefully...

Although there's no 600 posts yet but I managed to gain 600 somewhere else...


Freecell!!!



I believe hardly anybody plays freecell anymore... with angry birds, fruit ninja, candy crush, minion rush and all the popular games around, people tend to forget about the faithful games that comes with windows... I personally enjoy freecell a lot... it does not eat up much of your ram, you can play while waiting for windows to load, while downloading and even when you are stuck while blogging, you can play a game or 2 to gain inspiration...

as you can see, i am pretty good at it.. i gain a 99% win percentage.. I may have undo-ed a lot but I still finished 596 games..

alright, that's all for updates...
there might be an emotional post during the end of the month... but it depends on my mood...
