I really, really hate IT fairs because I really, really hate navigating through crowds.Last night, I was thinking about going to Sitex 2008 because my dad needs a laptop.I decided that I should go today because it’s the first day and it’s a work day, so there should be less of a crowd. I asked ...
[Photos by Justyn Olby]By popular reader and photographer demand, I put together a “little skirt with normal shoes” outfit.Even then, my dear photographer wasn’t entirely thrilled.“Is this your idea of sexy-elegant?”“You said you wanted little skirt and heels, so here’s little skirt and heels.”“It’s too cute,” …
So, everyone’s excited about the new 3G iPhone coming to Singapore in September, especially since it’s tagged at an unbelievably affordable price of USD199.The Goonfather has pre-ordered one (which I’m claiming for myself!!), Unker Kell has pre-ordered one, Kerrendor has pre-ordered one. I am so getting the white one, even though it’s USD100 more (the …
I had ambitiously planned to blog about my Kuching trip each night after returning to my hotel room, for three nights in a row.As usual, I overestimate my endurance. Tonight’s my first nig …
I recently spent $40 on tidbits at NTUC Fairprice, which is a modest sum in my estimate but which made my friends’ eyes bug and roll over when I told them about it, especially since I go tidbit shopping about once a week.It’s one of my guilty extravagances in life. Not so much on the ...
Hello!Today, I am going to seduce you with pictures of bak kut teh!I think it looks delicious.But it’s not delicious!It’s just all right.I forgot to take a photo of the shopfront since I wasn’t too impressed by the qualilty of food, even though the place is supposedly quite popular.As a note of interest, I’m having ...
I spent my last two weekends over at Minou’s and Kerrendor’s place, playing Little Big Planet.Four-player LBP is a real hoot! Seriously. If you have LBP, you must invite your friends over to play together. I wish I had videotaped our sessions because we spent like five hours laughing till we were rolling on the ...
AdvertorialI don’t watch football. But I drink Pepsi.You know that Pepsi commercial in which this guy has to wrestle with his pet cheetah for his can of Pepsi Max and his friend goes …
So, I think bloggers are a really scary breed of new media journalists. Since they don’t answer to anyone but themselves, they can afford to display higher than normal levels of curiosity and skepticism.Also, without the need to rush back to the office to file a story, they can afford to hang around after an ...
Two nights ago, the Goonfather came home from work, excited.“I want to let you hear something!”“Okay.”“It’s the most irritating tune in the whole world!!”I narrow-eyed him. “If it’s irritating, why are you so excited? And I don’t want to hear it.”“No, no, you must hear it. It’s one of those, when …
A week ago, I received an unexpected job offer to provide my voice for a commercial. The job happened on Friday. It was so cool that I won’t mind solely doing this for a living. Of course, like acting, you’re still subject to uncertainty and long waiting times between jobs, so it’s not a sure ...
Incidentally, I was looking at my blog stats and saw this keyword search:“busy these few days back soon”This has got to be the weirdest google search, ever. What was this person trying to find? I can’t think of any logical reason.Okay, don’t care. Back to me! After a stupendously busy week, another busy week comes.Today.Meeting ...
Hahaha. Look at how this car is parked.This photo was taken last night in the Square 2 (shopping mall) car park. Not only is it “creatively” parked, it has very interesting ornaments. I’m talking about the ornaments on the windscreen (not inside the car).LOL.I thought the way the driver parked his car was funny, and ...
AdvertorialI have prepared a feast for your eyes. Behold, a ton of awesome photos of me!Okay, actually, it’s not about me. It’s about the latest baby from Nokia. So, behold, the hip and happening Nokia X6!Of course, I’m not showing you just pictures of the camera. How boring would that be? I have put myself ...
I haven’t really celebrated Valentine’s Day in a long while.I mean, sure, we go out for dinner (fast food) and, in some years, we even buy each other gifts. But then, we go out for dinner and buy each other gifts all the time, with or without Valentine’s Day,Sometimes, though, you feel obliged to conform ...
Tomorrow is the last weekday left before Chinese New Year and I haven’t gone to the bank to change money! Okay, I don’t have many people to give ang pows to, just parents and nieces, but still need new notes wat!!I haven’t finished buying my CNY clothes. I haven’t done any spring cleaning. In fact, ...
In one of my recent twitters, I posed the question of how to gauge an elderly person’s eligibility to be offered a seat on the MRT or bus. Nobody answered my twitter, of course. Nobody ever responds to my twitters via Twitter.But reader Mike M did answer the question in my blog comments, so I’m ...
I was really annoyed yesterday. I was so annoyed that I put this in my Facebook:This is an old recurring peeve, but I was annoyed because there was a casting call for actors/models for a print advertisement that was paying a pittance. It’s reasonable enough to expect commercial work to pay commercial rates. But these ...
I have been so tired for the past two weeks that I totally didn’t have the strength to take photographs at the Ogilvy social event (The Open Room) last night.To be honest, I have been totally obsessed with my gaming publication project, working on it and thinking about it 24/7. I have to. I was ...
