Responsible Emailing

The following is my reply to a forwarded email regarding our responsibilities when forwarding emails, if you're able I would appreciate you reading this.

Hi All,

You may or may not know me, and I apologize upfront if I am a tad blatant with this. However I think it is in due time we promote the necessity to be discerning with reading and the forwarding of internet "news". Having read the interesting article below, all of us would probably have questioned the truth behind it. And that is good, that is what probably kept us alive as a species through the centuries. But unlike us, our younger generations may not be so enlightened to the fact that we need to take pinch of salt with everything we read on the internet. What are we then inculcating to our younger generations with emails like that, if somehow one of our forwarded mails reach to their mailing list? Are we not then breeding the next generation of extremist? Where does that lead may I ask? I ask this of everyone reading this;- Let us not perpetrate anymore irresponsible or uncouth news that we do not know to be the truth. It is just a click to forward out an email, but an idea once planted will not be that easy to root out.
I would like to end it with this.


“We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic cords of memory will swell when again touched as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature.”

Abraham Lincoln


We cannot have conflict without ourselves being first the aggressors. That I believe is not what you want to imbue to yourself . Or our future.

Here is to why this article was worded. Please take a moment to read the hoax behind the email.

I would appreciate if any of you with any further truth of the forwarded mail to rebuke my internet knowledge on this being a hoax.

Best regards,
Andy Peh

Memento Mori

"Tick Tock Tick Tock
Soon we're all dead but we still wanna have some. 
Memento mori you say but I still wanna have fun."

Random words I contrived to form up into poetry, or maybe word out the the full rap that these words were first initiated and hummed to. 
All is well but this isn't about my lyrical aptitude. This is something different. About my other passion;- horological masterpieces. When I first saw this pair it brought me way back to when I was a St. Gabriel's boy. A by no means mischievous but an abundantly curious one; I would crash the party on masses and when i saw this particular piece it invoked my memory on the first reality check on life I had then. - I clearly remember an aged men in white robes walking around and placing ashes in a cross (grey chalk which I initially thought it was)  on the people heads and people whispering "In all thy works be mindful of thy last end and thou wilt never sin."  Thereafter I went back and when I finally got to ask my mis-informed Catholic friend what was the ritual about he told me that it was to tell people that they will die (clearly left out a lot of information for me). I got a shock and guess what. I never went back. So many years later when I finally stumbled back upon memento mori I finally reveled that he was half right and that though morbid as it may seem time is the exact reminder to the remainder of our mortality. One day someone is going to invent a biometric watch that will indicate to the accuracy of nano-seconds till our departure from this world. Until then the next best alternative is a beautiful work I wouldn't mind being put to rest with by Peter Speake-Marin.

Spiderman Scales Burj Khalifa

Alain Robert, the French 'Spider Man,' climbs Dubais' Burj Khalifa, as with all his escapades this is no different. Scaling the world's tallest building without any safety devices. He has climbed all the tall buildings of 
the world.Just to watch him from up-down gives me a queasy feeling. Hope that you too enjoy this shots.

That's When I Love You

First heard this song with MTMY when she found it doing her favourite thing at that time (watching music videos on YouTube), been one of my favorite tracks since then. Today Ling invoked and brought it a new lease of life, and when she told me its going to be her wedding song. I thought what else could be more beautiful, then humming this song as you take you graceful steps down the aisle towards the love of your life.

When you have to look away
When you dont have much to say
Thats when I love you
I love you, just that way
To hear you stumble when you speak
Or see you walk with two left feet
Thats when I love you
I love you, endlessly
And when your mad cuz you lost a game
Forget Im waiting in the rain
Baby i love you,
I love you anyway
Heres my promise made tonight
You can count "on" me for life
Thats when i love you
When nothing you do can change my mind
The more I learn, The more I love
The more my heart cant get enough
Thats when I love you, no matter what
So when you turn to hide your eyes
Cause the movie it made you cry
Thats when I love you
I love you a little more each time
And when you cant quite match your clothes
Or when you laugh at your own jokes
Thats when I love you
I love you, more than youll know
And when you forget that we had a date
Or that look that you get when you show up late
Baby I love you, I love you anyway
Heres my promise made tonight
You can count "on" me for life
Thats when i love you
When nothing you do can change my mind
The more I learn, The more I love
The more my heart cant get enough
Thats when I love you,
When I love you no matter what
Thats when I love you
When nothing baby
Nothing you do could change my mind
The more I learn, The more I love
The more my heart cant get enough
Thats when I love you,
When I love you no matter what
No matter what

My Mini iPad

(download)

I got bored with Economics and decided to revamp the iPhone now I've got a mini iPad. Rather clean and refreshing and I finally figured what kept my springboard crashing. Orbit was a novelty but still bugs the hell out of mobile substrate, I effectively gave it up. For now.
