This must be a sign from the heavens…Anyway, apparently the Hubble Telescope took a photo back in 2002 of the variable star V838 Monocerotis(why does that sound like some Motorola phone?) and it looks just like the Firefox logo! ( Source : WIRED )
I’ve been talking a lot with friends about values and respect these days. I think more so since the local blogosphere has started becoming rather full of politick-ing. Some bloggers don’t like some bloggers. Some bloggers don’t like some companies. Some companies don’t like some bloggers. Tons of em I tell you.Yet, at the end ...
For those who are lost, this is the post that sparked it all.————-I write this in response to priss’s call to ban another ping.sg user(ShadowFox) from the community but I’d like to address a more fundamental question of, “Is banning another user from a community a proper solution?”Before I begin, I’d like to say that ...
While I’m drafting my proper entry about the event, I figure I’ll just show you guys the stuff that was included in their event kit(is there a difference between an event kit and a goodie bag?)I’ve always believed that goodie bags should give people something useful(as in practical) because it means it’s something that the ...
If you’re Singapore or Thai, well this is news for you. From Friday onwards until the Malaysian government unveils a new mechanism for selling subsidised fuel, you can longer buy fuel from your favourite petrol station at the border states like JB. No more day trips in just to save money on fuel… Is ...
Yesterday was quite fun! There were jokes and pieces of news that really made my day. It was also completely unproductive.THE single-most fun thing yesterday must have ping.sg’s “Whose Ping Is It Anyway?” game where people had to guess whose ping belonged to who. Not only was the game madly addictive, I think my MCQ ...
I begin by asking myself where I should start and I can’t find a better time to begin this than 2 weeks ago when I was well, serving my country.On the 31st March 2007, I was called to once again serve my country. As required, I had to don the green uniform that I so dread to wear these days. Being the internet whore that I am, I figure, why not bring my gripes to the …

Superintendent of Whitley Road Detention Centre3. Deputy Sup. of the above Detention Centre4. Two other Gurkha Officers.What intrigues me is this statement:-“Although the command director …
Gosh! The Title is damn lame. But heck, it was great first ping.sg meet up!~Big Boss ~Leaving Our Mark Parting...
I got this from Daryl’s blog and although he didn’t tag anyone(tagging is such a tricky business…what if the fella doesn’t read your blog till eons later?) I was in the mood to do one so here goes!1. I was born in a hospital called Kandang Kerbau - which means “Cow’s Pen” in Malay. I’ve ...
*Rant Ahead. If you’re looking for rational thought and argument, you won’t find it here. I’ll write about the performance itself soon.*It’s a weekend post, so don’t expect me to talk about logical stuff. In fact, I should be putting up a post on the Marie Digby performance that I went to, but I’m still ...
A lot of us spend a significant amount of time blogging these days - regardless of whether you are just a student or a working professional(or if you’re a professional blogger). I had a short conversation with a friend recently where he was asking me something along the lines of, “Are there times when ...
First up. If you haven’t checked out gothere.sg to get your singapore street directions, you should!Now we’ve created an app that allows you to get directions using the command:-_gothere bus from:<from_address> to:<to_address>For instance, if you wanted to get bus directions from Vivocity to Takashimaya you would type in_gothere bus from:vivocity …
Warning: Very Graphic Intensive after the breakI stumbled upon this interesting comic about Mickey Mouse trying to commit suicide…Rather comical I’d say…although it’s actually quite morbid to be putting such a theme into a children’s comic…Credits to LindenPark
“The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is considering giving cash instead of credits when one gives up his or her car to persuade more people to opt for public transport. “( Source : Channel News Asia )Problem“The current situation is that when a motorist gives up his or her car, ARF and COE rebates are given ...
I had wanted to post this earlier but I thought it might be prudent to let things cool down before trying to hold a decent conversation(do blogs incite discussion or conversation?).An earlier incident had brought up many issues worth talking about. It clearly showed that while some people were trying to engage in objective conversation, ...
I got this from the blog of Prof. Poh Kam Wong(a professor at NUS Business School). I thought it was a beautiful piece worth not just linking but reproducing here…Here’s the wikipedia link to who is Gabriel Marcia Marquez. He’s been diagnosed with terminal cancer. I read one of his books(”Of Love and Other Demons”) ...
I cringe when someone labels me an entrepreneur with that oh-you-are-so-brave-to-be-one-of-those-who-dare-venture-into-unknown-territory tone. At a whiff, it makes me feel like a social outcaste. And as I take subsequent breaths, I start to get angry because anyone’s able to do what I do or what any of the other so called ‘entrepreneurs’ do. It’s …
I figured I should write something about our upcoming participation in the event…An event hosted by the Media Development Authority(MDA), Broadcast Asia 2008 will be held on from the 17th to 20th June 2008 and we’ll be showcasing some of our stuff at the MDA Jewel Showcase Area. The event draws broadcasters, production companies, animation ...
