Here I go again having to "favorite" my video with a blog post. Do I reeeeeally have to sign up in Vimeo? Can I survive without having to create another sleeping account?This time, it's the Pingsters again tossing yu-sheng, the traditional Lunar New Year act of tossing a rich variety of ingredients, each representing something (luck, fortune, babies, intellect, etc.). This …
Just because I have no Vimeo account and don't quite see the need for one (not now anyway), this is my way of favouriting a Vimeo video.By blogging about it.I can just stick it here because I'm fairly confident the video won't get taken off.Because the user is my friend Rinaz.Anyways this was at ping.sg's Chinese New Year Lou-Yu-Sheng gathering at De Coder's Cafe, down at the …
Courtesy of my poppy brother I have been hearing what I've since learnt is Carrie Underwood's So Small at the top of his music charts. The lyrics you see in the title of this post drilled itself into my head, and set me thinking, as if in silent collaboration with this day of love and shy flirting.Now don't be so quick to say bugger off to those lyrics. That was my initial …
It's nice to be able to wake up at my own time for once, not at some ungodly hour where ghosts get arrested by Hell's Guardians for staying out past the curfew (or get roasted by the first rays of sun if they actually can avoid the guardians. Either way, it's not worth it).I'm writing about Monday but publishing this on Tuesday. So there. I didn't talk about the day before it …
After much inside-joke giggling from fellow podcasters NTT and Jerrick, I decided to be a thermometer and subscribe to Revision3 show(s). The only two I'm interested in are Diggnation, of course, and the Totally Rad Show. I had finished Diggnation and moved on to TRS when I wanted to check something else out at a slower point of the episode, when the site indicated that it …
As I was doing my usual round around the toilet, using my arguably large presence to make sure the boys don't spray their liquid waste on their friend's DS Lite (I was about to get my last gym badge you ash-hoe!), I heard several voices raised in an excited, typical sabotage-mode way, yelling "EEE YOU ALL GO IN TOGETHER YOU GAY AH EEE!"I immediately made a bee line (to the …
Sometime ago (this topic is from an enormous backlog of posts-to-be), around Christmas, I was at my cousin's place, where we had a fantastic lunch involving the Ikea do-all sauce and marine poultry and quadruped meat, and where I experienced the divine power of the Nintendo Wii. With a huge bag of leftovers to carry, I took a cab from Punggol back to Tampines. And I asked the …
If you listen to 65bits, or if I consider you a fellow geek, you might have heard me bitch about not having been upgraded to Gmail 2.0. It's not so much that it's fantastic or anything, although the improvements are more than welcome, it's just a classic he-has-I-want thing. I was beginning to seriously consider Daniel's theory-in-jest about a Google engineer hearing me …
Before I frolick off to celebrate the New Year in style (somewhat), I thought I had better complete this post first, which has been sitting on my To Blog list for the past couple of weeks, as with approximately 8 other topics which I sincerely hope will be struck off soon.2007 would be hard for me to describe as a good year. I laughed alot, but I also cried alot. Arguably I …
Ah. The fun of life. The joy of living.Was linked to this site from NTT's blog sometime back when he made a strip about a Tech65 joke.I've always wanted to go into comics, especially after seeing and enjoying the success of the likes of 8bit Theatre and Ctrl-Alt-Del. I don't have the patience to piece stuff together without actually having to draw, like in 8bitT, much less …
SBHS001? Looks like this is an older model than I thought it would be.For the past few days since I returned from Hokkaido, I've been making my mother's money worth (she bought this with a storm on her face) by showing it off to everyone I know. With cousins and friends we coo over its sleek elegance. With Pingsters and geeks we geek out on its relatively l33t features.The …
'Tis the season to be jolly, and for me, 'tis also the season to catch up with my blogging backlog.There are so many things I could tell you guys about, but lack of time and lack of motivation to induce muscular movement, as well as an apparent campaign by my body to aggressively earn back lost sleep, has set this site away as lower priority. Well now that I've nothing better …
I started musing about this courtesy of Jerrick, when he insisted that because I listen to opera and metal, sometimes concurrently, I am a music generalist.I've always prided myself on not being like "the other shallower folks", whoever they may be, who make their musical choices based on what's in. As a result their library is a bloody mess of singles."Oh is this good? Do …
K this is abit late, but I just watched it. And now I wonder why I was in the least bit surprised at the graphics in Enchanted.I see PotC as Disney's attempt to appeal to the older crowd, be it youths or young adults. Because I just can't see how falling off the edge of the world or having to look for a beating heart and stab it or battling while getting sucked into a …
I watched this film solely based on the fact that it was labelled comedy. Yes people do that.I was presently surprised. Death at a Funeral started off abit slow, but as it picked up pace, I realised that it was just the type of comedy I liked. Eccentric British humor. It's the same reason why I loved Keeping Mum so much. Apart from the characteristic dry humor that tickles …
For some reason, my friends refused to watch Enchanted. When I ask them why not they threw the question back at me "What's so good about Enchanted?"I wouldn't know! That's what we're supposed to find out right?!I could tell them what I thought was good, but I look at animation from a geeky perspective, so I decided that gold-fishing my mouth was a better option. For …
Doesn't life bring oddly amusing moments right in the midst of sadness? A couple of days ago my best friend in SIM told me that his girlfriend dropped the bombshell on him. It's been quite awhile since I was that shocked, although it felt more like puzzlement as to how the hell things could have turned out this way. I didn't exactly think it was a match made in heaven, but …
After 65bits's 49th recording and abit of lounging around at the ever-dependable GT, I followed NTT down to library@orchard to say hi to Ridzuan and Jean. After which NTT led me down to the basement to... to do what!To try brownies la. Don't read my blog if you're horny.So he brought me to the Brownie Factory, promising the best brownies ever, his treat! Now I'm quite …
After a somewhat confusing cliffhanger last season quite a few months ago, Ugly Betty is back, presently 8 episodes into its second season. So far I've only watched like two and a half, and I must say, for a start at least, the series is a fantastic kicker. The cliched twists needed to move the story's ass along were put along side subtle, totally unexpected twists, making …
Initially disgruntled for being dragged halfway across Singapore to pee into a cute small bottle and dip a stick of 5 patches in it while the medic watches with somewhat gleeful scrutiny, this morning turned out to be the sort of morning I wish I had everyday.The story is that two weeks ago, I went for my NS medical checkup. Yes, the drop-pants-turn-cough medical checkup. And …
