What would you do if you’re crawling in traffic? I took pictures with my trusty Siemens S65 (hurray for 1MP phone cameras!). It was fun.
I think the traffic-induced-photo session beats the ‘flying experience’ onboard the Flyer, with more soil that I care to view for S$30.
Hope the motorist(s) involved in the accident are alright.
A quick google shows that alot of people have their opinions blogged about the local production, The Leap Years. I like this. Anyway I shall not pracrit it further.
Being sentimental (oh yes, it happens), I dated a close friend to watch the move on her birthday yesterday. It was so apt, especially when it’s a movie that almost dedicated itself to a birthdate. I tried very hard to suppress the usual critical self which will be looking for inconsistencies. Yes there are quite a handful for a show that has 100mins to patch the holes. Once I overcame that, I found myself trying to remember the occasional beautiful lines. The literary sparks is perhaps the only saving grace.
To be really honest, the movie is not engaging enough to disable my automatic cinema-seat-rejection mechanism. My fidgeting did not help the poor soul who was crying her eyes out.
So the wind whispers, fallen like your letters
on the beaming kallang river
my faith, teeters.
So, one day you feel like buying a new domain. You go tripping to Network Solutions to check for availability and yay it’s available! Knowing that your domain name is so unique (i.e. www.ohsouniqueyoucannotbeat.com), you decided to take a couple of days to check out the various hosting packages available. Just when you’ve decided on one reasonable package, you are greeted with the dreaded – www.ohsouniqueyoucannotbeat.com is no longer available. In fact it was registered the same day you were reassured by Network Solutions.
Once you whois it, you lose the right to purchase it at sub USD10. Cost of my lesson? USD34.99.
Moral of story: Do not check for availability unless you want to register it immediately. Sucks, I know. Read more here and here.
I have never been a food person. Don’t get me wrong. I do enjoy the chewing, digesting, and sometimes the cooking. But I can never differentiate between the very good, decent, and how-dare-they-serve-this.
I’m not ashamed to admit that I am intrigued by the creations by a chef who has a seemingly limited vocabulary. It is almost ridiculous that I will stay up to watch his cooking shows when I cannot even stay awake for a conversation in the afternoon. Perhaps it is the draw of unscripted television or the late night sneaks of food that I should not be thinking of at that hour.
Maybe I will cook this weekend. I think I need to replace my jar of Nutella.
If you’ve been in the online scene long enough, you will know Noah Grey, of greymatter fame. I still remember the interface (read: geek-at-heart) and the pain of installation and customisation.
Reason why I am bringing this up – not random – for some reason, I surfed into his website. His sister had just passed away and the husband, a year ago. Even though I don’t know him personally, there is a gentle wave of sadness. Maybe it’s the age thing. As you get older, you get more sentimental.
“And still hates the word ‘blog’.”. Hear hear.
It’s amazing to feel the tug in the chest again. It’s like contorting your feet into a pair of torturous boots, just to regain the feel of your toes.
Don’t judge me. I needed to save my 2008. It started with a broken ipod (plus external hdd), broken mobile phone, and a head of frustrating permed hair. What is a girl to do?
Like what a rational person would do, I shopped. The iPod nano black is so tiny. It is very likely be bent out of shape during the honeymoon bliss. It’s rather sad that I have just 5 albums to sync. I am that boring.
Wish (PRODUCT)RED is available in Singapore though. If you know that it is and it still is, don’t tell me. Thanks.
Now what phone should I get?
Apparently, 9 million people cannot be wrong. I am almost 100% certain that there are more than 9 million people who are not subscribed to the digital magic of the World of Warcraft.
I do have a character in the MMORPG and after moving to level 5 (of 70), I am already developing carpal tunnel syndrome. That is not helping me to be WoWed over. I must admit – the graphics is amazing. The extend of the content is mind-boggling. The coolness of the company’s job positions is enviable! Imagine, you are paid to come up with weird names for each weapon, animal and cloud. Try stringing the names into a sentence, you will know what I mean.
Having said all that, I cannot stop laughing at South Park‘s take1 on Blizzard‘s ricebowl. Crude but witty!
Are you with the online sensation, or do you have a life and not understand a single thing that you’ve just read?
