Ok people who know me, know that I generally don't bother about 2 things - politics and religion. One, I have no interest in. The other, I don't believe in. Let's not get into those, eh?Now, recently, 2 ministers made public statements and actually prompted me to write something here on them. Now, let me just say, generally I have no problem with the government of Singapore. …
Image via CrunchBaseAlmost everyone nowadays use a web-based mail service of some sort. Many people don't even know that email can be "downloaded" to their own computers and then read/replied at their own leisure without being online and connected to the Internet in the first place. Mention the word "email" today and many people immediately think of "Hotmail" or "Yahoo" or …
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...
Image via WikipediaFirst off, yeah sorry I haven’t written in a while. I haven’t really gotten any new games lately, and I also haven’t been playing any of my older ones. Well, Fallout 3 still refuse to work, and I haven’t had time to actually go hunt for patches.I’ve also been recently engrossed in watching ...
Yay first post!Hah ok yeah so I'm 5 days late. I've been busy ok?On New Year's Eve, 31 Dec 2008, I was with Endoh, Xizor, and Xinyun. You can see a pic of the celebration here at xinyun's blog.I just want to show the video of the whole scene a few mins after the picture taken by xy :)Heh nice eh?
Image via WikipediaLong long time ago, when man finally made a miniature clock small enough to put into the pocket, the watch industry was created. Through the years, the Swiss made a name for themselves in their craftsmanship in making watches.Fast forward to modern day, the 21st century.Now we have watches with tiny pieces of rocks inside it, called "quartz watches". They …
Some time back, I needed to get a new air conditioner unit for my place. As usual, what does a geek do? Yeah surf the net and compare prices and do research. After a while, I have a general price point I wanted, and roughly the type of air conditioner too, although no specific brands have been decided.So off I went, to Harvey Norman, Best Denki, Courts et al, to check prices …
I don't know if you're like me, but I have a pretty wide selection of watches collected from my youth till now. Plenty of Casios, Seikos, Citizens etc. Most of them are Casios though, because when we were going through the army (and reservsist later), the only watches that are "cheap enough" to be throwaway watches are Casios.Problem is, Casios can last pretty damn long. I …
Ok something's definitely not right recently for me.I seem to be running into problem after problem in my life, and on hindsight, it appears I'm having a streak of bad luck. I can't say it's "poor planning" because all these are beyond my control.Bad luck #1 - I decided to sign up with Skype for "unlimited phone calls" to Singapore, my caller-ID wouldn't work correctly. After …
Image via WikipediaI was just mucking around on the various gaming sites as usual, and came across this piece of saddening news - Tabula Rasa is shutting down come Feb 28, 2009. Now, I’ve always had a soft-spot for sci-fi MMORPGs. In fact, after I left Everquest 2 in 2006, the guild told me if ...
Recently I was "foreceably removed" from a video sharing site, Vimeo. The crime? Nothing more than "uploading gameplay videos". They didn't care that I had non-gameplay videos too on the account.What that taught me was that I should never stick to just 1 site to host my videos. I had to slowly, and painfully, re-upload all my videos to a new site. Upload speed, as you know, …
Image via WikipediaRecently I thought I will be stuck playing Fallout 3 till December. However, as fate would have it, Fallout 3 started crashing on me and I could not move anywhere outside of Megaton. If I loaded a savefile from prior to entering the town, I crash at random places in the Wasteland.Thus this ...
Some months ago, I moved my videos from Youtube to Vimeo. At the time, Vimeo was an up-and-coming startup, and it offered some features which I liked. For example, no 10 minute limit, weekly 500MB uploads, and your videos can be in High Definition!All these made me choose Vimeo over other sites like Viddler or metacafe or veoh.However, just today, I got a short and terse …
First of all, Fallout 3 must be the buggiest game I have ever played, and persisted to do so despite the numerous crashes. Most other games, I would have just uninstalled and left on the shelf.Yes it’s that good!Secondly, due to the numerous crashes everybody is having, progress is slow. Hence I’m still just at ...
Seen in Fallout 3, at Megaton:If you look at the pic, I don’t really see how the Chinese words 明家快 translate into “The Brass Lantern”… Maybe people after the apocal …
Seriously, are they?Well as far as I'm concerned, they almost were. Lately my talk times have increased almost 100%. My usual mobile phone plan comes with 300 mins and costs $48.15 a month. However, recently I have been clocking as high as 700 mins a month. For every 60 mins over the "free" bundled minutes, I pay almost $10 (16 cents a min x 60 mins). So, you can roughly …
Ok I admit it. I’m weak. I gave in and got Fallout 3 too. Lord knows what I’m going to do with 2 new games and both of them having just “started out”.Going by Bethesda’s reputation, this should be one heck of an RPG. Bioware (or Black Isle) did the first 2 Fallouts. They were ...
You know, sometimes there are no good games released for a while, and you’re stuck playing the older games which you’ve got.Then there are other times like these, where a few good titles are released within the span of a few days from each other. Far Cry 2, Dead Space, and Fallout 3 have all ...
Back in 2007, a new blog traffic tool appeared on the Internet - Blogrush.1 year later, I received an email saying that Blogrush is shutting down. That would of course, include the shutdown of Traffic Jam too.Now, I've written about how mis-named the 2 sites are. Blogrush didn't, it crawled. Traffic Jam wasn't, too. An avalanche of traffic poured in instead. Now, both are …
Yes I finally bit the bullet and went 64-bit.For one thing, it sucks that there’s no 64-bit browser plug-in support in Sun’s JAVA Runtimes. That means I still have to fall back to the normal, 32-bit Firefox and IEs. Not that there’s anything wrong with them, but since I’m on 64-bit I’d prefer to use ...
