Read about a games donation drive to the troops over at Iraq, and even though i'm firstly against the war, and secondly, not an american, i decided to join in the drive, as i believe (and understand) that the troops are just following orders; they probably have no choice in it. Packaged up some of my gamecube games, and a few relatively new games magazines, and sent them …
Some acquaintances of mine have been telling me how good the resell market has been in Singapore, and how the en-bloc fever is blanketing the nation. This was particularly when i was back in January, where friends of friends all echo the same sentiments. Just like the mid-90s property boom, my "minute" level of understanding is that: yes, you can earn a lot from selling …
You gotta check this trailer of a japanese game now!It's a combination of all the things i like:- cartoons- DS- football - and a blatant copying of Stephen Chow's Shaolin SoccerIn fact... the ending of the trailer looks EXACTLY like... how the final match in Shaolin Soccer ended.
Just read this report about the food poisoning incident in Geylang Serai, and found the mention of Mr Seetoh’s publication in this report weird. There really wasn’t any need to do so. Funn …

A relocation usually brings with it a lot of challenges, culture shock notwithstanding. Luckily, being employed in the Singapore office for a number of years exposed myself to the ways of …
The last time i was in a A&F store, i was shocked at the high prices of their tee shirts and the quality of such "made in some-remote-fourth-world-country" tees. So it was funny when i read about these 111 men that did a great improvisation act together at the A&F store on 5th Avenue in New York. I didn't realize there is a terms of condition in that you need to wear …
What’s the probability that the morning after my last post, a hallway discussion was about the exact topic? From a very visible and “experienced” manager, he said “just because you don’t …
As usual, there are a ton of malware that are being sent to mailboxes in the hope that they get clicked on, and open up machines for malware to use in their huge network of bots.Gary blogged in a lot more details here, and i suggest all of you to read it and understand the implications.
The first was the launch of the new ad campaign, with one of my favorite comedian, Jerry Seinfeld, and Bill. The ad is interpreted by a lot of folks as being a collection of "huh??". I have to watch it a few times and do my own over-interpretation of it in order to find hints or subtle messaging in the ad, and i think i quite like it, and i look forward to the next few ads …
The second Bill/Jerry ad is actually quite funny. Again, there's a lot of subtle messaging in it, and another of Bill's robo-moves. What's next?
Wii - checkWario - checkA great ad on youtube that you should see... check check check!It's definitely a very unique but yet obvious way of promoting a product on the video sharing site. Tty refreshing the page again as it seems to have a few variations to.This looks like a great game. I'm happy after a tedious morning meeting.
A bunch of happy events eventually got screwed by a WTF event, and some clowns. Probably as a combination of of the above and some hot weather recently, (i am really embarrassed to say that 24+ degrees Celsius is now considered too hot for me) tires me somewhat. Luckily, my gym workouts resumed its high intensity after 2 weeks of lethargic workouts. I'm guessing somehow, the …

Happy that i get to meet up with a few colleagues from Singapore. Was glad to bring Sharon along with them to the outlets to do some shopping. Sad to find out that my fave t-shirt s …
It's been a long while, since May 2006, that the immediate group that i'm in had some tangible output since the service's rollout. In fact, it took us almost a year ago to get (more like... we warned you ..) Ian to join me and Andrew in our group. He had an immediate project dumped to him by yours truly, but sad but amazingly true, that project is still in an constant …

Just goes to show that one keeps learning about things that would have been taken for granted. From young, i have been using the VapoRub in all incidents of coughs, colds, chest pains, breathlessness etc, and i remembered my mum putting it into hot water and letting me breathe in the steam of the VapoRub mixture. This recent issue discovered was something new, and made me …
