It’s been over four hours since that horrible bus incident, and my hands are still shaking! It’s the same kind of feeling you get when you’ve done 500 push-ups and everything you try to hold on to after that, feels heavy. Your muscles are trembling with fatigue. It’s like, if I were American, my lawyers…
Aiee! This is what my horoscope said today. I now have the benefit of hindsight since I read it late – only after I came home from work: [Horoscope for Aug 22] “If you overindulged last night, you are likely paying the price today. If your head is screaming and your blood feels as though…
I was on my way home from work this evening, on the usual 174. Shortly before I alighted, while standing near the exit doors, the bus jerked and braked so violently that a few people were flung forward. I happened to be holding on lightly to a pole, but was hurled a few feet forward,…

Anyway, the search engine is working, the photos are up, and my new content management system seems to be running well. But I still have to tidy up one section…
The upholder of Web Standards is also a champion of web designer rights. And I thought I was the only one suffering from dealings with people who don’t know how to work a browser properly.
Yesterday evening, I was at Times the Bookshop in Centrepoint looking for GRE prep books. I went to the Education section and found plenty of books on SATs, GMATs and even TOEFLs. But I couldn’t find a single book on the GRE. So I went to the counter where special offers are usually displayed, and…
