Nooo! Tell me it isn't so!According to this, it seems that Borders is under some financial difficulties and may be selling out (via).

There was a Dymocks outlet at City Link back in the day but that closed to …
I attended the soft launch of Podfire.sg at Geek Terminal earlier and I have to say that the experience was interesting. Please bear with me while I try to put into words what I think of the event. To introduce the different flagships under them, they screened an episode from each flagship; Blogger's Treat, Channel 65 and The Geek Goddess Show. Out of the three episodes that …
When my sister got accepted to the University of Queensland, my parents wanted me to go over with her and help smooth her transition into the life of an international student. The even offered to pay for my accommodation and flight but I refused to go. Personally, I didn't think it was fair since I had to muddle through it on my own, with no help for anyone. Ok, …
There are so many different blogging styles and the different things that people blog about; the tech stuff, recipes, life in general and politics. Lately, I've read a few blogs that have very insightful, posts with such deep meaning that it goes way above my head and what I term as 'normal' posts, the ones that are light and fluffy, full of hilarious anecdotes and snark. I …

If only drinking Pepsi will bring Justin Timberlake to me like it does in the ad, I would drink cartons and cartons of it. Although, I don’t think that’s actually good for the teeth.

I switched facial cleanser recently and the breakouts that resulted from that change is horrendous. In hindsight, I guess it was really a silly thing to do to switch cleansers since the old one was working well. I switched from Deep Cleansing Seaweed Cleanser from The Body Shop to the Deep Cleansing Wash from Simple. It always takes at least 4 weeks for my skin to adapt to …
