Nirvana at Orchard Road.

They were performing at Orchard Road, Singapore. But, there was no Krist Novo or Dave Grohl, and certainly no Kurt Cobain! I could not believe what I was hearing. Nirvana, live in Singapore. It was a local band busking for the Singapore Children Cancer Foundation. They were very good.

Their repertoire consisted of their original compositions and songs by Nirvana. The lead vocalist and gutarist sounded alot like Cobain, with his strong husky voice. From far, you would probably had thought that someone was playing Nirvana cd really loud. They played songs from Bleach, In Utero and Nevermind. A free Nirvana gig, on the streets of Singapore. How cool is that?

Unfortunately, I think the Nirvana is lost in the current generation, as few stopped by to listen and the audience were mostly subdued.

Balik kampong lah Superband, Singapore's true super bands are out there on the streets, and for a good cause. =p

While my one-year-old is going for his first steps, I am also learning to walk (again). 2011 was full of ups and downs.  I was promoted for the 2nd time in my first job. Not fantastic but not bad either after six years. The challenging issues justifies for the few more dollars increment to the stipend. Murphy is my good friend. With only the final milestone left, I hope to overcome all odds and pull the rabbit outta the hat in 2012! If I am lucky, I may run another project.  For the consecutive year, I expended all my medical leave. After hearing my story, some may say 父爱是伟大的. Some may think I was pure clumsy. As my son likes to watch basketball playing, I decided to show him how to do it myself. At first I felt good, I got it plenty of shots. Unfortunately, I broke my ACL while chasing after the ball. It has been two months and my knee is still weak and hurts occasionally. I plan to go for surgery in 2012, while performing the balancing act of pulling the rabbit and recup...
