According to some online dictionaries, “Reak” is a noun which means either “a rush” or “a prank”. It appears that only a few dictionaries can define this word and few examples are given.

But according to my wife, “Reak” is by default either one of the following:

• a senior domestic resident engineer
• a professional hugger
• ex-boyfriend
• an IT helpdesk whose every first instruction is “restart windows”
• a full-time robotic driver with annoying music combo
• a failed philosopher who is only good while at home
• a fortune teller – a decent one while at it

When I’m not one of the above, at day time I work as an engineer in a local internet company. The only motivation to work in an internet company is make sure my wife can access her facebook. My wife often asks “Why bong no have facebook”? To which I respond “It’s not bong no have facebook, it’s facebook no have bong.”.

If I was not an engineer, I would love to try kickboxing in another life. I’m blessed with a strong right foot, good for kicking. Although, I would be the first boxer to wear specticles — double-protection™. That would make my father-in-law proud as he likes everything to be in double-protection™.

I was born in the 1980s during the baby booms. My generation got the first taste and obssession with black & white Television and later on color TV. As a result, our heads are pre-programmed to look out for any sight of Televisions. My dad generation would spend hours in coffee shop watching chinese martial art series over a single cup of 50% coffee and 50% condensed milk although I never caught him once. It’s a bad habit, I’m trying every time to not turn head to TV, and often fail.

About this blog

I don’t consider myself to be a blogger. I’ve got a life to live. I have other priorities and updating this blog is only when I’ve got nothing else better to do.

I don’t believe in friendship over the internet, if ever it can be called friendship. So if we never know each other before, don’t start by saying “Hello, my friend”.
