But I swear it was a complete and total accident.So there I was at Geek Terminal, helping with the filming of the Creative Aurvana X-Fi headset that we had had in our possession for some weeks. We had just finished and were talking about some stuff, deciding on a certain something which I can't recall. Daniel then asked to borrow a laptop, and since mine happened to be nearby …

So there I was, dragging myself out of bed on a bright sunny Thursday morning to set off for school. Obviously I had no business going to school at 7 in the morning on a Thursday, but I di …

Gosh, I guess I have to say I never saw this coming. I admit that I did get a shock. I mean, I never took her for the sort of person who'd take to such a vice. She's decent, she is. But wh …

Why do I try so hard to be smaller?Weren't we all born to stand up, stand out?Hitherto I've been letting myself down,My visage, a veneer of a smile,No less a forced grimaceWhy?So that I can let you stand out,At my expense?Why so many a time others have succeeded,Where I have encountered perceived failure,Is it I?Assiduous avoidance is not the solution.It is time I let myself …

I cannot bear to watch the Chinese Grand Prix anymore.Lewis Hamilton, on lap 31, loses his right rear tire. You can see the steel of the alloy peeking out, like a strip of silver wound round the rubber. He stayed out too long.Lap 31: Lewis Hamilton enters pitlane, runs wide onto the gravel trap at the entrance. His rear wheels spin, but to no avail. He gets out of the car. …

Three men died and went to heaven. Upon their arrival, they were greeted by the ever-omnipresent St. Peter.Now, when you enter heaven, you get to choose what kind of car you want to drive. See, heaven is large, so some kind of personal transport is necessary for commuting since God doesn't advocate public transport. So you tell St. Peter how many years you have been married …

I'm sure most of you are scratching your heads over my previous post, what with those vaguely worded sentences and daft descriptions of strange emotions. To the casual observer I'm sure I make about as much sense as describing how to eat a car tire, but to others who understand, I bade you a knowing nod and smile. All these vagaries of perception are about to come to an …

Judging by anything, the new semester's looking good, I'd say.Except for a few things.One, I haven't a clue what's going on. It was all fine a coupla weeks back, but ever since it's been a little, well, rocky. Judgment will be reserved for now, but I'll still be on tiptoes. I seriously wish that things will look up soon or it'll just be a repeat of last …

Ever wanted a quick Lexus IS? The new one, that is. I know some of you do. Logic dictates that a car as muscular as that should be massaged, stripped, raced. That's the new IS-F, seen running about the famed 'Ring - disguised of course - and now coming to driveway near you. Singapore deliveries aren't known yet, but it's near its debut in the UK, which will be in April next …

All Godzilla fans, rejoice. Pop the champagne and indulge yourselves in debauchery. The iconic Skyline zhngmobile has - after 40 long, long years - metamorphosed into a car that quite simply, looks like no other, and should drive quite well too.Only that it's not called the Skyline now. Nissan has decided that it is going to drop the Skyline name for all world markets, and …

If I were to say the start of school was fun, I would be lying and making a fool out of myself for doing so. It wasn't. It was a drab and dreary affair - as all maiden school days are - which culminated in me nearly falling asleep in the last lecture of the day. There weren't any proper lessons being conducted so I suppose I can't be blamed here.But I must admit something. …

Title kinda gives it all away doesn't it ;). Even now as I'm writing this, my poor heart's pounding away, thanks to two shots of vodka - mine and half of Yiming's. But more of that later.I had to wake up at some ungodly hour to pass Amy her printout, which I spent an hour on and had caught absolutely no kip in the process - I'm right now running on only 3 hours' worth of …

Gosh...the holidays are just flying aren't they? A blink of an eye, a flick of a hanky, a flash of lightning, and it's gone. Honestly I haven't the daftest clue where the other days have gone and boom, it's suddenly nearing the end of the hols.It's just so...I don't know.Empty.A vague hollowness.Devoid of emotion.

(Colin McRae, Scottish rally driver, 1995 World Rally Champion, 5th August 1968 - 15th September 2007)The rallying community stands in silent respect on the 15th of September 2007 as it honors a driver, a champion, but above all, a man. Colin McRae, the Scottish World Rally driver that helped to put Subaru on the world stage together with the likes of Citroen, Sunbeam and …

(cablecar shot with my cam at the corner)(perfectly timed shot at pizzeria)(in the dragon's bones. oooh errr) Do take note that these aren't all the pictures, and that I also appear in none save one of them. I made it a point not to appear in too many of the photos lest I end up cracking a camera's lens or screen. Most unfortunate if it had happened. Also another reason for …

Yes finally namecards for all! Tech65 has officially gotten our namecards, in no small part thanks to Fari. Podcast Episode 38 went smoothly as usual, with me mostly in the background just mming and aahing. I'm quite useless at podcasts sometimes. I think for the upcoming ones I really have to buck up and read ahead on the topics that are going to be discussed. I haven't been …

Meeting of Tech65 yet again. Had plenty of discussions, more to tell you in coming weeks. But what I can say is that a lot of exciting new things are gonna happen. Walked back to City Hall MRT to meet Gilbert but before that got stopped by this sweet pretty girl to do a survey on Comex. I didn't go to Comex but did it anyway. Should have asked her number, damn it. Went out …
