This is my first day after having LASIK in my left eye. The eye patch (as photographed) is off and I have a contact lens in my right eye. Already, people treat me a bit differently. It is quite interesting to note. It is something like what Gwyneth Paltrow felt in a fat suit, when …

My HTC Touch has started to annoy me. Yesterday I set all alarms to ring at 8am – my standard alarm clock, my iPod (which sits in my Bose Soundock), and my HTC Touch. It was very important that I wasn’t late for my operation, but I also wanted to maximise the amount of sleep …
I’m going for LASIK starting with my left eye today. Wish me luck! Just before the surgery: After surgery, back at home: Thanks for the well-wishes!
I revisited my old school on the way up Emerald Hill this evening. In a way, some parts of the structure haven’t changed – perhaps a new coat of paint was given a few years ago, but now it is starting to look just like how it used to be when we waited outside after …

I’m not even a rabid Potter fan but the movie captivated me from beginning to end. Apparently the movie kept mostly to …
While at Bugis Junction this afternoon, we discovered that Graniph, a popular arty Japanese T-shirt store, had just opened today! I got myself a Helvetica T-shirt. When I wear it (probably with jeans and sneakers), I will feel just like a designer again. This store’s like the Japanese version of Threadless. Update: Strangeknight blogged about …
This has to be the one of the funniest BBC sports reports I’ve ever read. I didn’t catch the match but the moment I heard that Venus trounced Maria, I had to find out how it happened. Turns out the two ladies were shrieking away and driving the audience bonkers: I’ll try to give you …
Watched the second Transformers movie with Monoceros today. It was action-packed. With teenage romance and morphing, organic robots, it was a case of American Pie meeting Terminator 2. Here are things I liked and disliked about the movie, and other insights. Spoilers ahoy…
That’s right – Too Much Information = No Time. A few of us Social Media folks were recently discussing how we’re past the phase where we read lots of news feeds. With easy-aggregation tools like Google Reader, there’s a tendency to oversubscribe to too many news websites and blogs. We end up skimming or not …
