Some of you may know that I switched this blog from Blogger platform over to self-hosted Wordpress very recently, thanks (or no-thanks) to Blogger’s decision to cease support for FTP publishing from 26th March onwards.My blog has always been fine and relatively spam-free for the entire duration when I was on Blogger – about 7 ...

This is now my FIFTH run-through of Mass Effect 2. ME2 now holds the record for the most number of replays an RPG ever got from me. Basically all I’m doing is trying to do everything I didn’t do the first 4 times around.The amazing thing is that I keep discovering small bits and pieces ...

I know, everyone has heard of Twitter nowadays. I’ve had computer-illiterate friends coming to ask me “Is Twitter fun? Is it better than Facebook?” to “What the hell is Twitter?”.Well, I’ve been there, done that. Now I use Plurk. I still have Twitter on, I just prefer to talk on Plurk than Twitter. Yeah ...

Image by JohnDiew via FlickrI’m one of those people that don’t buy a complete set of PC from an established brand, be it Dell, Acer, HP or whatever. I have never believed in branded PCs, simply because the parts inside are all from the same places. They just package it together with “Technical Support” and ...
Normally I’m pretty careful. For example, I have never lost a handphone before. I only lost my wallet once when I was a kid (with $8 inside, which was a lot of money in those days, especially to a kid). Oh, and I lost my bluetooth earpiece, but that was because I was pissed-drunk, so ...

I know I’m not alone when I say that I don’t particularly like the “visiting relatives” part of Chinese New Year activities. The original intention, was to foster closer family ties. Back in China, maybe this was useful, and probably still is. In those days, when you were in trouble and you had no one ...
This probably won’t be a long post. Just a seasonal greeting, of sorts.First,HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!Next,Happy St. Valentine’s Day!Seeing as the 14th falls on Sunday, and it’s also the FIRST day of the Chinese New Year, I really pity the people who are in the F&B service industry this year. Restaurants probably won’t remain closed ...
Ok I’ve just completed one run-through of Mass Effect 2.When I imported another ME1 character, I was amazed at all the bonuses the second guy got! 55k of palladium, platinum, element zero, and iridium! Man, you can upgrade half the ship with all those freebies! And ELEMENT ZERO, the rarest element of them all, I ...

Image via CrunchBaseFirst things first – this blog is now powered by Wordpress.Actually, I have always thought about moving this blog off the Blogger platform and onto Wordpress, but have always put it off. Yeah I’m lazy. However, a recent announcement by the Blogger team here gave me the final push towards a complete migration.One ...

Image by rwcandeer via FlickrIf you have never played Mass Effect before, you should. It’s one of the rare games I actually ran through multiple times – maybe 4 or 5 times, each time trying a different path.And now, Mass Effect 2 is here. Naturally I waited for it eagerly like other fans. In case ...
