A friend of mine invited me to a Facebook group, or rather the Facebook group for Repeal377A.com, to petition the Singapore government to consider repealing the (in)famous Section 377A, presently criminalizing gay sex even between consenting partners. As I was about to click the Join button, a powerful force on the inside of me swelled and set off alarm bells. My subconscious …
New Chinese Mediacorp site xin.sg totally ripped off the popular Youtube video of the Japanese flash mobs (embedded below) in their TV ads. SEQUENCE FOR SEQUENCE!Come on. This is a new low for Mediacorp. Or as my friend said, 'hitting rock bottom and digging'. If they did not get rights from the TV station to recreate this, it's fucking copyright infringement. And even if …

I was super late for the party, which was held at Geek Terminal. But as hem hem and haw haw said, I didn't miss much, since the blog awards were heyholalala~. Lol.Kevin theorized (because Theory IsTheReason after all) that bloggers were generally talkative on the keyboard, and deathly quiet IRL. Well not among the shoutbox regulars! It was fantastic meeting all the guys …
If you think you have a better name or format for naming my photoblog posts, please tell me. I'm very open one. Lol.Hokay. What did my camera immortalize today?Following the DK-FaceOnTheTable craze on Ping.sg started by Marina, I took time out in the midst of rushing my Nutrition lab worksheet at 2:30am to give myself a smile by doing my own.And the meme about the picture can …
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 …
I had originally wanted to wait until I bought my Macbook Pro to get a Razer mouse, so that it would make an invincible couple. I'm still waiting to see when I'm allowed to book out often enough to justify the expensive purchase of a powerful laptop. But my old Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 got too cranky for me to take it anymore. For every click I execute on my left …
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 …
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 …
IntroductionFinally, another work up. Sorry to those who have been checking back ever so often for new stuff, but hey you didn't pester me on my cBoard.Actually the Evening of Music and Dr …

As a techie who relies extensively on his 3.5G Nokia E51 to spare himself from the occasional boredom of his neverending sentence, it is in my minute but nevertheless present interests to have an optimal surfing experience on the go (or on the no-go). One part of that is fast-loading mobile versions of websites, especially frequently accessed social sites like Twitter and …
ping.sg regulars are one crazy bunch.To me it seemed that as we met each other, especially me meeting others for the first time, there was some sort of magical click. Half an hour and we're like old friends. Maybe it's simply because we are all bloggers.Why Meetup 3.1? Because miccheng said so lor.Ok la I agree with it, because it's really using the Buybuttonz fair as an …
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 …
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 …
Mingle2 - Online DatingWhen people like DK and tstar get PG, I get a straight fucking R (oop there I go again. ;P)?Never mind. I take it as a compliment of my free expression.Ok no la seriously, this thing is silly. lol.
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 …
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 …
You've seen the print ads, now behold! A Ping.sg video commerciallll!!!I took quite a few liberties from the original specifications, cos it's a different medium after all.Now, how many follow-ups will this one generate...? :)Oh by the way, there's no need to turn the volume up. It does get loud later. If you have (good) a subwoofer, crank it up a notch or two. :DOnline …
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 …
