(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 …

Damn it all. I got hit for the first time by that stupid MSN Messenger photo album virus. My friend's window popped up, with a link for a zip file download, and I happily clicked it, then unzipped it."Hmm that's strange - image files usually don't come with .scr as a file extension. Oh well never mind. Nothing harmful."boom.In the next few minutes ensued complete pandemonium. …

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 …

Sigh. I guess no more amount of ranting will bring my dear laptop back to life. For those who have yet to experience my horrific and utterly painful loss, my laptop was infected by the MSN photo album virus yesterday, through some complete and absolute pig-headedness on my part. You see, in addition to downloading that file from my friend, I also unzipped it, leading to a …

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 …

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 …

"Here's to challenging yourself.Johnnie Walker.Keep walking."I just love this slogan from JW. It's so cool, especially when Fernando Alonso steps out of his car on the deck of the aircraft carrier and all the techs on deck just give him that :O look."In a dogfight, a fighter pilot experiences up to 5Gs for over a minute. In a race, a Formula 1 driver experiences up to 5Gs for …

Yes they literally do - as I've just recently found out - at a place called Geek Terminal at Raffles Place. A little note here: I'm typing this at 1am on a Wednesday morning. I'm dead tired, my eyes can't open more than 2mm and my legs are jelly. Do bear with me if I've made any spelling errors, if any.So there I was, waiting with Jerrick at Raffles Place interchange after …

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 …

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 …

I am speechless. I have been stunned into silence.I might be outdated, but this is the first time I'm hearing anything as blasphemous as this. China has copied the iPhone.To be honest, the phone's hardware works. I have no idea what the software is, just by looking at it, but I guess it's some sort of proprietary software developed by the maker/copier/cheater/antichrist.Watch …

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. …

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 …

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 …
