An aspiring actress, writer, model and according to herself, camwhore. One of the more entertaining, non-self-indulging (read: none-Xiaxue type) pieces on the internet which actually would interest me on a boring, gloomy London Monday afternoon.She has posted up a recent clip of herself in Mara’s Playground, which is interesting and thought-provoking. Did I …
This happens to be the song of the moment, by the band Within Temptation. This is for you dear friend.It waits for the day I will let it out.To give it a reason, to give its might.I fear who I am becoming,I feel that I am losing the struggle within.I can no longer restrain it,my ...

You may drive a Porsche, be nicely suited in your Armani in your comfortable black Porshe Carrera.But that doesn’t give you the right to be an ass in Singapore and not learn some road manners. The speed of your car doesn’t give you the right to tailgate people and prevent them from parking. And furthermore ...

First things I needed to do was to clear my room of things I didn’t want to bring home. So I decided to sell them on eBay! Over the past week, I have sold about 7 items on eBay, making a tidy sum of 76.51pounds after postage. Not too shabby, didn’t feel like shipping too ...
I actually never wanted to blog this, but the recent recent MM Lee’s remarks to UPI and his talk about ‘talent’, I felt I had to weigh in my opinion as a ‘talent’. By definition, I’m a ‘talent’. Let’s not create another Wee incident over anything here, but just take it. Obviously to save everyone ...
For anyone’s that’s used to zooming mouse cursors, you might be extremely irritated by the extremely slow maximum cursor speeds of the Mighty Mouse. I have to admit it’s a rather good mouse to use, but the slow cursor speed was close to driving me nuts and I was contemplating going back to my Logitechs.Thankfully ...
It was about 10 years ago when IRC was the hot thing. It was before ICQ, before MSN, before AOL, before Yahoo! We used to download songs (OOPS!) and chit chat (and bitch) over these channels. Nowadays, no one uses them anymore. Until today.A bunch of kids we all are! After 10 years.Back on #day-night ...
Well, after all the anticipation and expectations and uncertainty over the last month, I guess it’s finally settled and I actually know where and what I will be doing.It’s been a week or two at NIE, and well, lets just say I’m still getting used to the Singapore way of tertiary education. I am not ...

Here wired has an article on the evolution of the logo of Google.
As mentioned earlier, when you are stuck in London over the festivities, you will learn to manage. What we did this year was The Great Seafood Cookout, where girlfriends, boyfriends, good friends and everyone was invited to the dinner which costs the 3 of us about £120.Seafood filled, beer filled, fun filled extravaganza. Preparation took ...
You may not know, but sudden cardiac death is one of the leading causes of death in Singapore. Ok, you may know it better as a heart attack. It’s supposed to be more prevalent in ‘richer’ countries like Singapore because of the more unhealthy food we eat. All the char kway teows, hokkien mee and ...
My biggest nightmare was not the huge amount of information I got. It was the lack-of. I have never been to corporate site which is so bloody difficult to navigate. Welcome to SingTel's website. The search function sucks, even when powered by Google. The singtelnamelogy sucks. Do you understand what all the terms in this page mean without clicking on the page? I have never …
