Spirit

Spirit.

In every language in all the realms, heaven and earth, in every time and every place, the word has a ring of strength and determination.

It is the hero’s strength, the mother’s resilence , and the poor man’s armour.

It cannot be broken, and it cannot be taken away.

This … i must believe.

Cheers

Uncyclopedia

Ok ok,

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia is a reknown website. It is written collaboratively by volunteers, allowing articles to be changed by anyone with access to the website. In January 2005 Jonathan Huang launched another website called “Uncyclopedia.”

Its statement says that the mission of Uncyclopedia is to provide the world’s misinformation in the least redeeming and most searingly sarcastic and humourous way possible. Therefore, it frequently deviates from this goal, and produces humorous articles on all topics, most of which are not necessarily satire.

Check it out here


Cheers

Men are from Earth & Women are from Bones

Ok ok,
 
Assuming we don’t look at the physicality and other obvious factors do you know a big difference between men and women. Well women can slap makeup, put perfumes, wear wigs and maybe get into g-strings to look good.
 
Men? No self respecting man will wear G-strings, Ricky Martin excluded.
 
We have nothing. That’s why over the years, we have found alternatives. We climb mountains, lay railway tracks, learn cooking, build bridges and even go to the moon.
You have any idea how hard it is to build a bridge? Its tedious and it kills more people working on it than it does if it were to collapse. And going to the moon, we go there to make a statement to our counterparts. I can bet with you, when a astronaut touches down, he’s gonna go the his lady and brag, "So … you saw me up there?"
 
So dark the con of men ….
 
Cheers
ps: Weird but true

Tomato Goes back to Skool

Ok ok,

 
I am confused. Due to a set of myriad reasons it seems like i have to take the part time route for my undergraduate courses. I would like to however, find out from anyone if NUS or maybe even NTU offers part time courses for Degrees in Computing or Comp Engineering.
 
I cant seem to source out from the damn websites they have and i seem to be getting even lesser from the students they breed.
 
Cheers
ps: NUS students should be Decapitated and then sent back to school

Ok ok,

Work has been frantic for the past 2 weeks. Haven had the time to idle in MSN and watch “Russell Peters” from youtube . The guys and me had to test and prepare abt 80 Dell laptops for mass deployment to out clients. A tragic and laborious task

              

      Laptop Beta Testing                                   Laptops Awaiting my touch

              

             My Work Space

So, i figured i go get coffee for everyone to ward off the z-monster. Zoooom .. to the vending machine. When i get the cup of coffee, the damn thing is infested with ants. The damn things have a nest inside the vending machine. There goes coffee break. So anyway the damn things been down for a week now and we have to go long distance for coffee.

I have applied for a plot of land beside the office to grow coffee plants and and built a small brewery to make em into powder. So don’t be surprised to see "Tomato’s Gold Roast" in the market in the near future.

Cheers

ps: Should start drinking Green Tea.

Hi folks,

As you can see things are a little different at www.ArchtomatO.com. A auspicious theme for a auspicious event. As most of you know, the World cup is going to come knocking on our doors real soon.

The world is gearing for the event.

Tourism in Germany is going to peak and merchandising the world all over is going to hit a all time high. Governments will be smiling and policemen will be frowning. My lucky bastard of a colleague will be going in a 3 weeks block leave.

So i decided to get in the mood and have sort of experimented with a new World Cup Theme. More improvements will be added along the way and the full release will be before the world cup. I am also toying with the idea of providing daily results on top of publishing my articles. I am still undecided on which document type to use for my results. Maybe you folks can help me with that.
 
I would like to dedicate this theme to …
– My dog Bill
Alee, he shut entertaining blog down
Bus Driver for the diff theme idea (" Though no pink fonts and orange ribbons")
Omni Chups for her wedding
– And ya, World Peace
 
Cheers
ps: I hope Spain goes on to the final four, but then again Spain never does.?

Rules 
Visualised by archtomato On Monday, May 22, 2006 at 13:14 Hrs | Minimum B.S.

Ok ok,

 
Disclaimer: The following is purely based on the author’s research and personal thoughts. These findings have not been approved by any leading psychiatric body. This article is a philosophical launch pad for the author who is thinking of publishing a book. You have a choice not to read this. Plagiarism is a sin. Parental Guidance is advised.

What are rules and why do they even exist? Who came up with them and what for? I believe these are a couple of questions I’m sure all of us will ponder at least once in our lonely existence.

Rules are meant to be broken. I have heard this old adage being used to death many many times. So is it true than. Are rules really expandable and are they worth breaking.

Some claim rules are akin to quick sand.
It traps you.
The more u struggle the more u freeze.
You try to fight back.
You try to adapt.
But you start making a mistake.
Then another.
And another.
Till you cannot breathe.
Like Quicksand.

I’m sure some of us think rules were whipped up by bored old farts who take too much sugar for their own good, that rules were simply a means to leash us and make us dance to a desolate tune that we had neither or envisioned nor orchestrated. Everything exists in parallels. Light and Darkness … Yin and Yang, Life and Death. Even a piece of paper has 2 sides. Galileo did say that life exist in perfect symmetry.

So it got me thinking .. could these rules that we tirelessly fight be actually a means to help us? To guide us? To sustain us? Could our ignorance be the reason we hate rules? The mind fights what it deems illogical, what it deems irrelevant and fights to propagate towards an opposite.

Although the mind is beautiful, it is by no means perfect. Its erratic, far too much erratic. Without the mind, there is no body, and without the body, no life. Could rules actually be the meas to protect the mind to ensure our survival?

I leave you with the adage, "What doesn’t kill you, only makes u stronger".
 
Cheers
ps: Kind of gloomy don’t you think?

Where are you really from? 
Visualised by archtomato On Saturday, May 20, 2006 at 14:19 Hrs | Minimum B.S.

Ok ok,

I was doing some analysis about the globalization of the products that my company introduces recently when it struck me as to how much this phenomena is influencing most of our lives these days. Of course, it also depends on how "open" the country you live in is with regards to trade with other countries, but generally, it is quite interesting. Ever thought about it? Here goes my version:

  • I wake up in the morning from a mattress made in China, which is under a cover made in Sweden.
  • I brush with a toothbrush made in Sweden and using a toothpaste made in Malaysia.
  • The teabags I use in the office are made in Sri Lanka, the breakfast bread in Singapore, the butter in Thailand and the jam in Malaysia.
  • My company car is Japanese and the office I work in is headquartered in the US
  • My Dell workstation is built in Penang and my 2.1 Speakers in Scotland. 
  • The lunch I eat is Indian, the evening coffee powder I use is Brazilian, with the biscuits made in Indonesia.
  • The TV I watch is made in Korea and the diet Pepsi I buy from the the "coffee shop uncle" below my apartment is made in Singapore.
  • The dinner I eat is sometimes Chinese, Malay, Thai or Western but mostly Indian and never Italian.
  • I ship my T-Shirts from Germany and my jeans is tailored in France.
  • My Phone is shipped from Finland and my earpiece from South Africa 
That’s already 17 countries in one day! Of course, there can be much more to add, but you get the picture! Think about your daily life similarly, and feel free to type it out in the comments section!
 
Cheers
ps: I wish to own something from Timbuktu.

Fact File
Archtomato

Archtomato . OxyMoron .
Laughing at Gilded Butterflies

Archtomato works in the IT security industry and has managed to convince his bosses for the past 10 years that his best work is yet to come.

Archtomato is a coffee nut, a photographer without focus, a traveler who can't read maps, a diver who floats all too easily and a champion of world peace.

He is an avid practitioner of the dark side of the force; admires Chuck Norris, Paris Hilton and collects vintage Batman comics. Just like the Horizon, Time Dilation, Flying pigs, Tax Reliefs and possibly, the "Opposition", he believes he is more of a concept than a corporeal being.

Archtomato believes that the true nature of man is decided in the battle between the conscious mind and the desires of the subconscious and that the evil of man's subconscious is often too strong to resist. The only way to win is to deny it battle.

He now lives in a world of pollution, profanity, adolescence, smelly beavers, zits, herpes, broccoli, racism, ozone depletion, sexism, conscription, yellow bananas, stupid people, nightmares, dog whisperers,Gamma Ray Bursts, Nuke Baddies and sings badly but regularly in the bathroom.
