Or so it would seem.I went to the Challenger Superstore at Funan Centre (oh no, sorry, it’s Funan Digitalife Mall now) to look for a scanner. Having found one that I wanted to buy, I headed to the checkout counter and prepared to pay. That’s when it began to get… interesting.Now, Challenger has a membership system that’s tied to your NRIC number (for …
The end of my first full day in California.
Tired.
Ate at Jack in the Box for lunch, and McDonald’s for dinner. So far the food doesn’t seem to be much different from back home, though I am really liking the free refills for drinks and the better selection of drinks. Prices are nothing to phone home about. Haven’t really taken any photos of anything here …
Quite possibly, this is simultaneously the funniest and most disturbing thing I’ve seen on the internet this year. Some rights reserved | Permalink | 0 replies Add to del.icio.us Search blogs linking this post with Technorati
I just watched the newest Transformers trailer. The trailer looked pretty good, as you’d expect a trailer to look, but I still have some apprehensions about how the movie is going to turn out. At the very least it’ll be a fun action flick, but whether or not it’s a good Transformers flick is another matter entirely.One thing in the trailer which caught my …
One of the biggest changes for me as I switch to a Mac as my main computer next week won’t be getting used to the new operating system: after all, I’ve been using OS X on the Mac Mini at home for nearly two years now. Nor is it likely to be adjusting to a different user community: I’ve been arrogant and snarky long before I knew what the Mac community was …
In no particular order.Pros:Comparatively greater dominance of the English language (not that I’m making a statement about which language is superior, just that I’m far more fluent in English than in any other)No bargaining for almost anythingCleaner, not-so-dry airJaywalking is far less dangerousMuch better food, no matter what my sister saysMuch cleaner toilets, …
Popaghandi points out that today is Catmas, the day on which any bloggers who considers themselves cool cats should post a picture of a cat on their blog. So okay, I’ll bite. I’m definitely a cool cat.
Since I’m in Pacific time now, it’s still the first Friday of October as I post this, despite the Singaporean timestamp shown on this post. So …
We first heard about the new Transformers movie about two years ago and now it’s finally arrived. I watched it last Friday (yes, it opened in Singapore almost a week before it opened …
I was a bit concerned at first to see one of my VCF friends post about being proud of her Singaporean heritage, but I thought maybe it was just because she was away in California on student exchange, and everyone knows that being away from home for extended periods of time tends to play tricks on your mind and make home seem like a better place than it really is. So I thought …
While Threadless prints a lot of great t-shirts, there are hundreds more great designs that don’t get printed. This is one of them: “Where the Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak was a book I remember reading as a child, and indeed is one of the classic children’s books that any child should have a chance to read and enjoy. This t-shirt design is a …
That’s it. My last lunar new year as a recipient of 红包.It’s not a bad thing considering the reason. But it’s not without some degree of sadness that I watch this part of …
I’m don’t know for sure what this means for the future of the USA, or for the world situation. I don’t know that he really is the best man for the job, or that he’ll be the panacea that many would like him to be. There’ve been a lot of campaign promises but I can’t ...
Demand for whitening products has increased substantially in recent years, particularly in Asian countries. While Western consumers prefer to have bronze-coloured skin and spend more on sun tanning lotion, facial whitening products are getting increasingly popular among Asian consumers. According to a report by Asian Market Intelligence, over half of all women in China and ...

Yesterday, while removing my iPod from my bag, I dropped it from a height of about a metre or so, onto a hard rocky floor. While I initially thought that it was undamaged (there was, amazingly, no visible physical damage to the body), I later realised that the LCD screen had been slightly damaged, and I now have two large bunches of stuck pixels. At least, that’s what I …
So today I did something that clearly marks my foray into a new and unfamiliar world: I bought my first life insurance policy.
O brave new world! ‘Tis new to me.

There was a Firefox 2.0 release party which was planned to happen on Friday, but it didn’t happen. And now it doesn’t seem like anyone is planning a release party for Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy either. Why is Singapore so not-happening? I am a sad geek this week. Well, I’m happy to be using a new release of Ubuntu and a new version of Firefox, but I’m still …
I guess it’s not just SPH that’s good at mangling the English language. I spotted this advertisement at the Tanjong Pagar MRT station. Here’s a hint to MediaCorp’s ad agency: “bind” is a verb, not a noun. Well, to be more accurate, the word they’re looking for here is “bonds”.There are only two instances where ...
Firefly by any means, though I certainly enjoyed the show enough to buy the DVDs for the series as well as the Serenity movie. But I know that there are legions of adoring fans out there who would like nothing more than for Joss Whedon to produce more Firefly episodes.

The company has published an FAQ for ATRAC users instructing them on how to continue to listen to their music, and it has provided a conversion tool that will cross-encode ATRAC files to either WMA or MP3. The conversion tool ships with the new ...
