This blog is very quiet. Instead of whining, I would do something about it.
I, being such a genius, figured out a solution for this blog. To make it less quiet, I thought we could add some sort of music to the blog then it won’t be so quiet…….
Ok, I admit that was really lame. But hey, I attempted to post something.
Since we are all so familiar with SOLOs, I thought I would make one for this blog.

Today I sat on the roof of my house in this funny position with my legs over my head adopted from the yoga book (that’s if you believe) and gave some thought as to why the blog was so whist. And then with the help of some logical thinking, I figured out why. When no one makes a post or a post is made so infrequently, we start to ask ourselves why bother to go to the blog. So I decided to encourage the next person who makes a post on the blog with this incentive. That is to say congratulations to that person.
To make this blog a must see, I have a solution. Go to tools>internet options>homepage and fill it with www.project-denovo.blogspot.com
I think the blog content does not have to be purely OSLE. We could post other interesting things we see on the blog.
For example:
Yesterday on my way home, I rode on this Wheel Chair Accessible bus operated by SBS Transit. Seated opposite me was this lady in her 50s and she was complaining about how lousy the interior design was. Her main gripe was the big step after the exit door on the lower deck. She then went on to blame the bus company for getting the Europeans to design the bus interior as they are generally taller, and that SBS Transit should have asked Singaporeans to design it. (She said this because the bus was a VOLVO). However, she did not realize that the bus was not designed interior was not done by VOLVO or Europeans, in fact it is made in ________, by ________. Moral of the story, don’t make assumptions. Consider all possibilities and look at things from a different perspective, and you’ll see how different things can be.
Speaking of looking at things from a different perspective, I was reminded of this Nokia poster on the wall outside Esplanade mall, and it really gives you an idea of how different point of view can yield very different results. To get there, or if you happen to pass by, walk into Esplanade mall from the side facing the Oriental Hotel, and then walk straight in and exit on the same floor at the other end. You will reach some sort of Atrium. Then on the left is the poster.
I caught the musical “King and I” on Tuesday and I would say it’s good. The musical is quite comical and of course there are lessons to be learnt from it. That is, have an open mind, readily accept others advice and opinion, and there a lots to gain from doing so. It’s running till 26 Aug with the cheapest ticket available at $40 and UOB card holders get some sort of discount.
Random fact of the day:
In the second it takes to turn the page of a book, you will lose about 3 million red blood cells. During that same second, your bone marrow will have produced the same number of new ones.
I decided not to sign off with my name, but there are only 15 of us here, hence it’s quite easy to figure out who I am. Happy guessing.
