Malta!?

When I was studying, one of my favorite hobbies was that me and a group of friends would go off for a drive to different parts around the vicinity of Bangkok to find interesting places to eat. One of the things you have to check out before hopping on any car for an extended period of time is to figure out the driver's musical taste. Luckily the designated driver is a jazz fan, and it turns out that most of us in the car are also jazz fans. During our drives, we managed to exchange a few albums and recommendations since Jazz didn't have that much airtime in the past.

Anyway, one of our favorite album was from a artist called Malta who plays fusion jazz with his saxophone. The only thing other than that was that we know he is Japanese, and that is probably it. In all of his albums that we had, (we had about 5 of them) a strange note is that there was never a picture of the artist nor anything explaining about the album. As most artists are quite vain, you would see their pictures adorned every possible place in the album. On a strange note, you won't see anything on Malta's album O_o

I thought about decoding that point, and our group tried to find more information with the use of the WWW. However, with such a typical name as Malta, googling didn't really turn up with anything useful also.

I just thought a few minutes ago that I was bored of work and needed something else to think about. After opening a few Malta songs from the Best of Malta Album I couldn't help wonder but figure that if after a few years, maybe I could find some more information. After a short googling session, I finally found it:

Now I finally figured the 8 year old mystery :P

Two Friends

I got this tale from one of my friends. I liked it alot and wanted to share it.

TWO FRIENDS

This is a story about two friends who were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other in the face.

The one who got slapped was hurt but, without saying anything, wrote in the sand:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.

They kept on walking until they found an oasis where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.

The friend who slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now you write on a stone. Why?"

The other friend replied, "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate him/her, a day to love but then an entire life to forget him/her.

Cruising in the Office

During the last few days, I was completely bored out of my mind in my office working on my projects. Though my office is one of the most hip office in the campus, the major drawback is that it is rather isolated and far from most other people. At times it can get alittle lonely considering the lack of human interaction here, so I usually have a huge stack of CDs around my office just to make sure the days aren't too dreary.

It was just that I was extremely bored with the CD selection at my office, I just thought about listening to the Internet Radio, and I did a little googling. I found one site that suites my tastes well, which was FM98.5. Might want to take that station for a ride :)

7 Days of Work Per Work

During the next few months or so, I'm going to be in a 7 days a week work-cycle. That means working all day and night. As being a rather dedicated person, I just have to make some sacrifices to make the schedule fit. One of the first fixes I used was to stop playing video games. The next thing that dropped was TV. With a little more time management, things should turn out well :)
