So, I got another cellphone for work purposes. And this was one of the phone I was considering to buy, if not for the lack of quadband capabilities: LG Viewty KU990R. In Singapore, it comes in two shades: pretty pink and sleek black. I had a hard time choosing between to two, but ultimately chose ...
And the Apple dealers (since there is no Apple store in Singapore) are making me pay 180$ for it because I don’t live in the US, where Apple users that face the same problem are given a free replacement. This is how my magsafe currently looks like:Sorry Apple Asia and associates, but I’m not going ...
In an effort to get to know Singapore’s blogosphere, I went to a ping.sg (singaporean blogger community) dinner at a ritzy izakaya-style Japanese restaurant called En (えん). Met some …
Ever since I downloaded TwitterFox, I’ve become hopelessly addicted to Twitter…to the detriment of my blog. It’s become so easy to post my opinions and internet finds with 140 characters that writing 400 worded posts has come to be too cumbersome to write. It’s become so easy to hear what others have to say in ...
I finally got myself a gym membership after living in Singapore for 7 months. The experience of a getting a gym membership was…eventful. I wasn’t quite expecting the answer to my innocent question, “how much does a gym membership cost?” to be a 1-hour battle strategy armed with marketing tactics. Unfortunately for the gym, these ...
Whoa! I didn’t expect the sudden influx of questions and concerns from my anger-filled post about my melted magsafe adapter!

Dear Delifrance, Last week, your Egg D’vine sandwich declared war on me. The sandwich suffered severe casualties with its innards splattered everywhere - the table, the wall and even on my face. This war could have been easily avoided, if only you had a better understanding of knife politics. I ordered a baguette with egg ...
One of the strangest sights you’ll ever find in Singapore food courts is the rows upon rows of pocket tissues obnoxiously placed on empty desks or seats. If you’ve never been to Singapore, you’ll probably think these tissues are for your use. Not in a million years. These pocket tissues, occasionally replaced by umbrellas, are ...
My latest blog design created in October 2008 for my blog nanyate?!. The illustrations were inspired by the gates to Japanese temples called Torii. It’s one of the more fastest designs I’ve ever made. I took less than an hour for the illustrations, and less than a day to code the site. I doesn’t quite ...
The Nakheel Tower aka Al Burj is one of the many skyscrapers that will be constructed by 2020. According to CNN, Al Burj is set to be 1KM in height. Yes, I said 1 kilometer - as in 1000 meters, as in more than half a mile. I’ve never been a huge fan of architecture ...
First thing I saw when I turned on the computer is this:Shamelessly, in the middle of the office, I exclaimed “NANYATE?!” And decided to do this:The End.—Yes, this is a crappy entry. And yes, betcha everyone said “nanyate?!” when the logged into their Gmails because everyone has Gmail. I am just busy. I’m sorry. I ...

Here’s me shortly after I received treatment. I was around an acceptable 45kg by then but I can’t say I looked like I was in the pink of healthI suffer from an autoimmune disease called Graves’ Disease. And thanks to it, my thyroid gland has a mind of its own. For those of you who ...
My Wordpress draft list is getting longer. But I just can’t seem to be able to publish any of them recently. Guess that’s what you call writer’s block. So here’s a …
Finally had some extra time this week and decided to attend the rebranding of HTC and the launch of the HTC Tattoo at the Butter Factory. Many thanks to the awesome people at The Right Spin for the invitation. Witty TaglineAnyway, I’ve always been a bit of a language freak, so it’s not surprising that ...
Yes, that’s right. The magic to success in anything is to clock 10,000 hours, 417 full days into whatever you do. Or so claims Malcolm Gladwell, author of “Blink“, in his latest book “Outliers“. After interviewing many extraordinary people like Bill Gates and the Beatles, he comes to the conclusion that one important component of ...

For those who are new to Nanyate?!, here’s some background info: Last year, I took ...
