For the past few weeks I’ve contemplated getting a multiple language dictionary. I found a couple of possible models at Funan and was considering the price tag (between S$500-800). I wondered if it was worth it and whether I’d really use most of its features and languages. Now that I’m able to buy apps from …

Just upgraded my 2G iPhone to firmware version 2.0 and man, it rocks! The new Address Book has a search feature. The Calendar interface has improved. Buttons to view list / daily / monthly are now at the bottom of the screen, making it easier to select with my thumb. I appreciate the extra Memory …
Just watched [The Dark Knight](http://thedarkknight.warnerbros.com/). By now this comes as no surprise, but Heath Ledger was diabolically good as the Joker. I think had he still been alive, people would have praised his performance, though being dead somehow gives an actor cult status. (Pardon me if I sound cynical as I don’t mean to, but …

I have been meeting up with many friends over the past month and thought I should list out my schedule here. It has been filling up rapidly. I have something on almost every day, until the end of July. And I have French classes in the mornings. I still have 3 evenings available for the …
[Correction: My friend updated Facebook last … but still, she was pretty prompt about her status update!] At this point I am pleased to announce that one of my namesakes just did the following in this order: 1. Gave birth at home 2. Updated her Facebook status with news that she had given birth Headed …
As I’m now at a relatively high level in [Mob Wars](http://apps.facebook.com/mobwars/), I’ve found myself becoming a minnow even with over 100 mob members to back me up in fights. Most others have 200-500+ members in their mob, making them hard to beat. Thus, when I do see someone with a smaller mob size, I attack …
