What's wrong with my Nokia phone?The Nokia 6280 is a fantastic phone. I will vouch for that. It has almost everything a techie needs, save for WiFi. And honestly with its comparatively small screen and age (+-2 years old), I find that exclusion reasonable. However it also holds a notorious reputation of having many firmware issues. This time, the phone turned off by itself, …
If you haven't watched Death Note ep25, don't read this. It contains a huge ass spoiler you don't want to know if you're the least bit interested in the show.No really. Don't.So I was walking up towards the computer labs from the canteen, after a good lunch, with Graham. And because he was telling me to watch Death Note the other day, I caught up with it, having finished …
Okay so isn't this great? I go to school for a one and an half hour lesson which consists of two presentations totally irrelevant to me and probably the rest of the class and somewhere at the start of the second one after decoding about half a paragraph of discursive runes (more on that later) I give up and walk out to find a much more interesting and arguably more educative …
... of Orientation Island.At first I didn't know we were to complete the four 'entrance' tutorials, or 'big star' tutorials, to get the Mainland Passport, and then when I did, it was at school, where teleporting logs you out of SL. -.-"So yep. To Lion City!... ok. This is live. I've just been logged out of SL.WHAT THE HECK?!Dohh this is ridiculous, just when I thought …
南洋之子: Singapore anti smoking TV ads receives bad reviewSo here's my (family's) take on the new smoking ad.It's unbelievable.If you can gross people out and make them stop smoking, then I s …
Ok so I attended the launch event right?Well my audiophile friends, the review unit is here. And guess what.I'm ROCKIN' OUT ON IT BIG TIME! \m/ It's a freaking aurgasm powered on my computer (too soft on portable devices - standard problem for otherwise rocking headphones). I'm listening to classic guitar tunes (not classical, classic) like Hotel California, Cemetery Gates, …
I thought hard for over an hour before deciding to skip QotW again. That means that I probably won't be able to skip anymore after this, but well, I've got too many things coming together at once. Getting a running nose really isn't helping either. This is not an excuse by the way. Think of it as a journal record, for memory's sake.Of how bittersweet this semester was.
Well bite me, I'm slow.I just watched the show and I have two things to say about it.Firstly, I think Jack Neo has the knack of sifting the worst out of Singaporeans and throwing it on the table for all to see. I also think he totally went crazy with it this time. Apt topic - the true test of filial piety in hard, unforgiving times such as this. This I'm sure is an issue that …
I'm setting up an anime blog tomorrow morning with a friend, Ryan mentioned in the Jing Cheong Chinaman post. Watch out for it.
So I had set my alarm for 1030, thinking that that would be late enough, and yet give me enough time to do my usual computer routine before leaving for Creative's Aurvana X-Fi Headphones press event at 2pm. Magically I woke up wondering why my alarm wasn't ringing yet, and I saw that it was 1027. Lovely. Might as well switch my alarm off and sleep in abit. It's still early …
These both happened yesterday.After hearing about one of my coursemates doing the Umbrella dance, I went to check out the wacky footage myself. And subsequently I found the accursed "ella...ella" part playing on constant loop in my poor head. Lock a prisoner-of-war in a room and play this on 5.1 speakers. 5 hours later he'll probably submit a typed report of all the top …
Too lazy too type properly.Nawww of course not.But I tell you what I was too lazy to do. I was too lazy to sit up and listen, this second half of the semester, Summer(II).After my glorious victory in The Battle of Summer(I), I somehow switched off in Summer(II). I attribute it to my lecturers. Excuses? Maybe... But lemme be clear. Attribute does not equate blame. I don't …
Back in 2003 or 2004 when I was still in Victoria School, I found myself to be the butt of alot of jokes. As if it wasn't enough that I was plump and behaved in a somewhat weird, gay-ish fashion, my chemistry teacher became the catalyst to bring me into the screeching world of opera. And unabashedly I would sing to myself soprano pieces as in transit between classes, along …
I don't think any of you missed it, since COM242 has the whole BAC population present I think. So unless you were sick or couldn't be bothered to come for class, you wouldn't have missed Eunice's/Lirong's birthday video.For those who do not yet know, I did this video using Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0. I bragged about it in the credits for the whole damn world to see, partly …
And Il Maestro finds his peace.Perhaps it's selfish of me, as is the rest of the opera world mourning for the one tenor everyone knew. It was the same with Pope John Paul II, Mother Teresa, etc. Millions weeping for the world's loss of this fine person. If the world still needed them, I don't think they would have passed on.Nevertheless I could not help but shed tears as I …
An old series, but a fantastic one nevertheless. Catch all 6 episodes of the first season (British la, you know...), the Christmas special, and bloopers on Youtube from this user.I wonder though how the cast really feels. Some of the jokes can get quite mean. More importantly though, this series reflects how humans try to fit into society around them, often trying too hard to …
Haven't posted videos for a long time so here's something. This guy is a popular Youtube comedian who puts up videos making fun of celebrities and the latest news in Hollywood. He reminds me of Greg Proops, and equally funny as well. Here are two of his clips.
I couldn't bear to leave it behind. It was in desperate need of feeding, and I knew that the best lip-smacking milk that humans usually consume just don't cut it for kitties. Even doing the Neck Pinch couldn't keep it quiet for long...Whatever la. Words elude me now. The last thing I saw after I managed to bring myself to put it down and walk away was a cleaner saying "lai!", …
Haha I have no idea how Yap will take this.But just to put into writing what I've told a couple of coursemates already...My PR lecturer split the class into 4 groups. My last group got 11 people, as compared to 12 for the other three groups. Of course we were given one less because we were presenting last, so we had the most time to prepare. Even then, I think its too much. I …
I just realised that all the photos taken from Flickr are not hyperlinked to the photo page, but the image file. How the heck do you want me to change every single one? I'll take forever. *cries* I'm sorry my readers! I'm sorry for not being dedicated enough!! Don cry for meee Singapuraaaaa~No but really. There's gotta be an easier way.Today I finally had a chance to wake up …
