Whee! Doing a stunt!

Hello, I blog!

I share all my sporadic and toilet thoughts in here, because I am random like that.

Social recluse, but happily so

“I’m not feeling too great. I need some alone time.”

When I say the above, I really mean it.

But it seems like it often invokes the opposite reaction. People dropping texts. The missed calls. People dropping by unannounced.

People think I’m playing mind games. I’m not.

I recharge best when I am fully alone. Fully alone to the point where even all my notifications on my phone are switched off.

So I don’t have to think about human interaction.

I can fall asleep anytime I need to.

I don’t have to think about human interaction.

My mind can rest properly in addition to me being able to rest physically.

I don’t have to think about human interaction.

Sorry, Hostgator!

I forgot to pay my hosting bill.

I had this sudden urge today to take a peek at my blog. No idea where the urge came from. I was just lying in bed and reading a book and suddenly, I just reached for my phone and navigated here. (How random, I know.)

And realized it was kaput.

GONE.

And I totally flipped.

The error page stated “suspended account”. And being the technical person I am, thoughts such as “DID SOMEONE BREAK INTO MY ACCOUNT TO SEND SPAM?!” were racing through my mind.

Only when I logged into my billing account and saw warnings everywhere along the lines of “O$P$” (“owe money, pay money”, for the uninitiated) did I realize my boo-boo.

Funnily though, I did login to my billing account to update my credit card details when I received the payment notification.

Only that I entered the details wrong.

Then forgot all about it, thinking it’d auto-renew as it should.

Which it didn’t.

I am getting absent-minded. Sorry guys. If anyone’s still reading and thought that I had decided to just let this blog die, I’m still alive and so is my site. I’ve been doing this since 2001 and no matter how unmotivated I am to write these days, I will never ever (like, EVER) let this site die.

It was part of my teenhood, and then my young adulthood. Those years of me glued to my computer designing layout after layout back in the 2000s (which I don’t do anymore). Posts may have dwindled but this place still holds memories.

So, phew. Welcome back, my dear site.

And thank you, Hostgator for not deleting my stuff even though I owed you money. You just saved me from a re-uploading nightmare.

Comments Off on A tribute to my awesome team and everyone in entrepreneurship.

A tribute to my awesome team and everyone in entrepreneurship.

‘Starting Now’ is written and sung by local songstress Tay Kewei. It’s the theme song of a current drama serial on entrepreneurship here in Singapore. Titled Start Up!《创!》, it looks into the trials and tribulations of entrepreneurship including betrayal. (No forms of betrayal going on in real life, thankfully. (;)

I did this cover on a whim one weekday – because I loved the melody and the lyrics struck so deep a chord I just wanted to sing it. Yes, that is my voice you’re listening to, and me strumming the ukulele in the background.

This video highlights moments from my start-up journey with my awesome teammates in Gametize (and our flagship product GameMaki, now a simple gamification platform).

This is a tribute to you guys, and everyone out there breaking out of the conventional mould and chasing their dreams. Keep pushing on!

Tay Kewei (郑可为) – Starting Now
同样的悔过 同样的脆弱 共同的脉搏
不要再等候 不要再懦弱 命运自己掌握

遗憾是生命的磋跎
多少眼泪 多少痛
多少梦 被遗忘在其中
泪水换来的成功
只要努力 就值得拥有

开创新的以后 下定决心 就绝不退缩
勇闯未来的梦 相信自己 就放手一搏
Starting now 热血 带领我 冒险

同样的借口 同样的节奏 时间不停留
现在是时候 现在就行动 不向现实低头
