Wow, I did not realised that it has been 2 years I never update my blog.
I guess I was too engrossed with work. Not like anyone will read my blog anyway, right?
Hello? Anyone? Anybody there? None at all I guess.
It is 2012 now, the year of the dragon.
Instead of over-relying in updating too much stuff on my Facebook, I think it is better that I make full use of my blog this time around. No point owning a blog if I leave it stagnant. I shall start my freedom of speech in my blog from now onwards.
The start to the new year has been going good so far and I hope that the globe spins slower this time so I don't need to worry about getting old too fast, aye?
I shall start by posting what I have posted in Facebook on the first month of 2012 and on the first week of January.
Remembering the late great Phil Lynott
20 August 1949 - 4 January 1986
Some of us who follows music closely would definitely be familiar with this Irish musician who was the founding member of this prominent Irish rock band, Thin Lizzy.
He also had a very brief stint in the 70's band, Skid Row with the late Gary Moore, Brendan "Brush" Shiels and Noel Bridgeman, a band who originally owned the name Skid Row before Moore sold it to Sebastian Bach for a hefty sum!
Unfortunately, I wasn't born in their era. And Phil's death date? I was born exactly in the year 1986, but in March! And I wasn't gifted with a super memory! But as I grew up, music plays a part in my life and thanks to the people I know, as well as my parent. You know how people back then loved to record anything in a VHS tape, right? My dad still keeps a few of them in the store room and I managed to dig out an old VHS tape containing the documentary of the old Skid Row. I still can't imagine how my dad could ever record this rare gem of a doc on a VHS!
That aside, and coming back to the present time, we realised that, we have already lost, not only Phil Lynott, but Gary Moore as well. Both are great musicians and not to forget the many others too. Rest in Peace to all of these respected musicians.
An Ideal Corporate Gift Recommendation:
Vie De Chats 2012 - L'Agenda - Calendrier
Agenda - Calendrier Vie de Chats 2012 is an agenda cum calendar book in French which is translated as Agenda - Calendar based on the Lives of Cats 2012. It is a hardcover book that my sis gave me for the new year. It consists of dates, days, months and inspirational quotes that are written mostly in French with note sections just like in any other agenda/yearly diary. It is such a sweet, simple and an ideal corporate gift and flipping through each of the adorable editorial photos of those felines are just enough to de-stress your mind off from those pressures you're facing at work. A great recommendation but I am not sure if this is sold in Singapore -_-
You can buy one in this website though:
