Tomorrow evening my mum and I will be off to visit my sister to celebrate her birthday together. My biggest concern is not that I have yet to pack for my trip. Nor is it the never-ending flow of work while I’m gone for two weekdays plus a weekend. Work will never end, anyway. My …

Got this post via Kevin. I’d like to add a few more. You know you’re spending too much time in Second Life when: You feel you’re actually NOT spending enough time in Second Life You start to believe that the world is really filled with beautiful people You start calling other Second Life players by …
I’m in the papers today! I gave a phone interview to Hian Hou, a journalist from the Straits Times’ Digital Life supplement. Actually, he was one of the first (if not the very first) journalists who ever interviewed me. This time it wasn’t about blogging but Second Life and why it isn’t taking off as …

Around me were other fans, head-banging, clapping and cheering. This all happened in Second Life. Here are some …
Flickr camera finder. This is so clever. Since Flickr has all the data in each photo uploaded, why not keep a database on the most popular cameras used? (Thanks to Lucian for sending me the link.)
Ivan tagged me, so here are the science fiction books I’ve read so far. Not very many. According to the meme I must bold the titles I’ve read, so here goes: The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien – er, can I half-bold this? I haven’t finished reading it and probably won’t in a long …
The Mee Pok man passed away a week ago. Odd as it may seem, he was a special part of our school and many of us remember him fondly. Ask any SCGS girl and they will say his noodles were one of the best – if not, the best they’ve had. He was, in short, …
