I just managed to get my hands on the new Armed Assault 2. Back in 2001, I remember being engrossed in what was probably the best military simulator, called Operation Flashpoint. Since then I’ve bought every single release from the makers, from the expansions up to Armed Assault, and now, Armed Assault 2.I must say, ...
The new Alexa rankings caught me by surprise, in more ways than one. Remember I was saying that my blog is just "so-so" and that I don't really have a lot of traffic? At best 150 or so daily is the norm (I know, it's pathetic compared to you guys but I'm happy with the figure ok?). My rankings have always been around 300,000 or so, and it yo-yos up and down around that …
Ooooo I can hear the outcry from here already.Yeah I've been a Nokia user for the longest time. So far all my phones have always been a Nokia.However, last year when I wanted to get a new phone, I decided against Nokia (finally). Nokia had nothing really fantastic out at the time. All the phones they'd release up to that point had been buggy. Many friends of mine will say …
How did this post originate? Well there was a plurk thread here and then people were curious why I was so adamant about not supporting the particular bank mentioned.These are 2 long stories, so be prepared if you are kaypoh enough to want to know more.Bad Experience 1 - Standard Chartered BankYears ago, I was using Standard Chartered for personal credit as well as credit card …

I came across this article just now, and I thought it was very interesting. I never knew how "backward" Singapore's job market is still, comparatively. I remember reading something similar like this a long time back but it wasn't in this much detail.I thought I'd comment on the 10 points brought up in the local context:#1: Where were you born?Say what? You're kidding right? …
If you stop and take a minute to think about it, there was a shitload of things happening last week. Most obvious, is of course, the death of Michael Jackson, and a lesser known death - Farrah Fawcett.Man, 2 of my childhood stars, dead. I'm gettin' old.Don't worry, this entry won't be talking about them. There's enough ruckus in the Internet about those 2.Instead, it's about …
A couple of posts ago, I wrote about gothere.sg. In a nutshell, it's replacement to Streetdirectory.com, especially now that the latter has splattered adverts everywhere, including right smack in the middle of the map you're looking at. Irritating as hell.As a quick update, since Monday, 18 Aug, gothere.sg has introduced a new feature - embeddable maps! Now I think some of …
Those of us who were around and coherent back in the 1980's will remember the show, Knight Rider. The story is about a lone wolf, driving a tricked out computer-controlled car, running around the USA keeping law and order. Think of it as "The modern Lone Ranger", minus Tonto.In 2008, NBC resurrected the show, and now, we can expect a whole new TV series sporting the same …
After a night of unexciting drinks at the local pub yesterday, I thought I could sleep-in today. Guess I was wrong. I got woken up today around 1pm by a friend who needed help with some computer stuff. She had trouble with a wireless keyboard and had been over my place to test it out ...
To recap, eversince I got my new ATI HD 4650, I have been re-playing old games just to get a “feel” of how much things might have improved.One of these is Call Of Duty 4. Previously on my old rig, the P4 3.0Ghz Hyperthreading (single core), I get respectable framerates (about 20+ FPS) with “medium” ...
Today, my colleague decided to drive to Changi Vilage for lunch.Remembering the (failed?) outing from the ping.sg forums, I decided to see if I could locate the Ayam Penyet ("flattened chicken") place and check it out. It wasn't hard to locate it.Yeah, I think this is the place. It's the only prominent Ayam Penyet place in Changi Village, so I hope I got it right. We all …
Every drinker knows this. Even non-drinkers have heard about this.If you drink too much, you throw up.Question is, why?Well the video shown here explains it PERFECTLY :)It's friggin' scary that it's soooo true.. except that usually it's vodka instead of Tequila that went in last...
After reading xizor's latest entries, I feel compelled to relate some similar experiences with "fallen talents" myself. Back in 2006, the company hired a "foreign talent". Let's called him "S". On paper, he looked very qualified, supposedly to have come from impressive backgrounds like having worked in large MNCs like Citibank and such. The …
In the continuation of this saga, my login ID is now fixed. However, they still left out a couple of things to grant me access to. Not relishing another round of "calling the right people", I just went ahead and added the corresponding entries to my ID and just informed them that I did. Waiting for them to get around to adding it for me, as per stipulated …
Ok here's my take on the recent debacle over what our "Mother Tongue" is supposed to be.For anyone who still doesn't know, here's what was written in the newspapers:Foolish to advocate the …
I know I'm late, but hey, better late than never eh?In all honesty, I watched this movie three times. Seriously, who can get enough of Jacky Chan and Jet Li? But first, a warning. This blo …
Yeah I know, I can't help myself. I just really had to go get Assassin's Creed, even though I know full well it probably won't run very well on my 5 year old gaming rig.Now, remember that I was saying that Crysis is a very demanding game? Well, I take it back.Assassin's Creed takes the cake in "demanding". Compared to Asassin's Creed, Crysis actually ran pretty smooth for the …
I just got an email from Blogrush - they've just launched a new aggregator-like service, and they called it "TrafficJam".It's weird, if you think about it. First, they tell you that your blogs will "rush" around. Now they tell you that your blogs will get caught in a "jam". Kinda extreme.It's similar to Technorati or ping.sg, but this time the website is pulling data from …
