Home


                               Everyone has a special place in his heart called Home
                               Where do you call yours on this Earth ?
                              An airspace in the sky, a small plot of precious land
                              A palace, an attap hut, or a cottage in the windy plains
                              We are but specks of dirt
                             Our life, a mere microsecond in the evolution of this planet
                             Why do we fight so hard for this land ?
                             This sunny,windy, humid island in the middle of the seas
                             Because Home is where my heart is and that is where 
                             My place shall be

Green Hornet the Movie - Original TV Series footage starring the late Bruce Lee



   We watched the Green Hornet yesterday (1st day of Chinese New Year) and thoroughly enjoyed the laugh a minute, mindless mostly, action provided from the 3 leads, Jay Chou (Taiwan superstar singer), Seth Rogan (who's he ?) and Cameron Diaz (Charlie's Angels). The plot was predictable, and the acting by Jay Chou was horrendous (he's really a poker face, but handsome nonetheless).

   There is the not-so- subtle political undertone, played by Kato (Chou) who is Chinese and having a punch up with the larger and bumbling Brett Reid aka Hornet. Kato is smaller, but up and coming, and skilled with the martial arts and Hornet is larger but basically bumbling around. Its reflects the China -US relations of the times and shows that China can and will flex its muscles too. Together they defeat the bad guys out of sheer luck and some quick thinking by Kato.    

   Here is a clip from youtube showing the original Kato (the late martial art icon- Bruce Lee). Hope everyone has a fantastic Chinese New Year !    Xin Nian Kuai Le !

Karate Free Sparring 23 Jan 2011




My first sparring attempt in a long while, I had a couple of points with a kick and a punch to the midsection, however, I need to stay my ground and keep the opponent on the backfoot while executing the moves, thanks to Looi my lawyer friend for posting this on youtube.

Don't Stop (Thinking of Tomorrow) - Fleetwood Mac 1979



This song is the ultimate 'get up and go' song. The lyrics are so simple and pure, it was the hit from Fleetmood Mac's album Rumours .

It appeals to me even now.


Don't stop thinking of tomorrow. It'll be here, better than before, yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone. Woooh.  

A song my father sang to me, perhaps 45 years ago.

This song is one which my father, Geoffrey Abisheganaden, used to sing to me when I was a baby, and I can still remember because he also sang it to my brother John. I always remembered the lyrics but never knew that the song was done originally by 2 jazz greats, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald.

Love knows no boundaries for time will not lessen the love. Dad and Mum, I truly thank you for your guidance, time, and most of all,your love and companionship all these years. You are indeed very special and will not be forgotten.

Seize the day.
