Let’s say you have a job. Let’s say it’s your first ever job. You’re a little hesitant about it. Excited, but a little afraid that you might do something wrong because you know so many friends have had terrible jobs before. But your boss – your first boss – is really nice to you. He …

I seem to be having Internal Server Error problems every time I post something on any of my blogs. Please bear this in mind the next time you see something funny happening. I’m down but I’m not suicidal, and neither is my blog. What’s strange is I haven’t even done anything to my server in …
Well done, Lions! I’m glad I was there at the stadium with you, taking part in the Kallang Roar in the sea of red. Some points worthy of mention… Gracious Indonesian behaviour: A placard, discarded post-match, thanking Singaporeans in general for sending aid to Aceh. That was sweet. Not so gracious Indonesian behaviour: Boycotting the …
This song has been playing in my head the entire day. If you have the version sung by Lisa Ono, you’d be spot on: I wish you bluebirds in the spring To give your heart a song to sing And then a kiss But more than this I wish you love And in July a …
The iMac’s starting to grow on me. It’s fast (granted, not as fast as my PowerMac), the 20″ screen is clear, and it has not crashed. However this Mac uses wires for everything – keyboard, mouse and ethernet. Our financial sponsors, i.e. our parents, felt that wireless devices wasted batteries (which is true). Of course …
Albert’s comment on my previous post got me wondering: So what might crop up at MacWorld Expo? MacRumors has a round-up of good things that may come. What I myself am hoping for / expecting: PowerBook G5 (yeah, they like to say it’s a long time coming), Flash iPod (doubt it’s 10GB though), and an …
I only have a few minutes of modem time to post this. But let me just introduce the latest work of art in our house:
Our D-Link DI-624 has been most reliable, and for under S$100 it was a steal. It had 4 ethernet ports (wired) so we could hook up all our computers as well. However its range isn’t long enough to reach computers upstairs, on the other side of the house. We also only have one cable modem …
Happy New Year everybody!!! I spent my new year’s eve at a family dinner, where we sang Karaoke Christmas Carols (unfortunately for the guests at a wedding dinner next door). My sister and I got away by singing George Michael’s Last Christmas, which had some semblance of ‘dignity’ compared with Jingle Bells and Frosty the …
Today I unpacked my first load of Transformer toys. Everybody, say hi to Hot Rod, the first* Transformer I ever owned! Character-wise, Hot Rod lives up to his name – he is a young Autobot with a fiery temper. He is generally well-meaning. He transforms into a sports car, although he is not very powerful …
