Warhammer 40,000 - Dawn Of War

April 30th, 2006 · 2 Comments · For the Geeks

Having equiped my computer with 2 video cards, I have revisited the game Warhammer 40,000 (real time strategy game) and see what my cards are capable of. As I was taking screenshots, I thought why don’t I write a story about one of the missions that I partook?
The mission began with the Librarian and Inquisitor [...]

Such a sad day!

April 26th, 2006 · No Comments · Diary

After a long day from work, I rewinded my tape and watched the American Idol. My favourite Katherine McPhee I thought did really well with stage presence and all. But the words from the judges were so harsh that broke my heart.
However, if to look at the overall performance of all the contestants, Eliot Yamin’s [...]

Cathleen Schine’s She Is Me

April 23rd, 2006 · No Comments · Book Reviews, Fiction

Impressed by one of her previous novels The Love Letter that was adopted both by a Hollywood movie as well as a Japanese film, I picked up She Is Me from the library. I must have read The Love Letter some ten years ago so I was eager to find out if She Is Me [...]

One PC Two Graphic Cards

April 22nd, 2006 · 1 Comment · For the Geeks

I switched on the power half expected my computer to go kaboom. I saw three fans were moving but wait, what happened to the other two? A journal of my got-nothing-better-to-do-and-brainlessly-added-a-second-graphic-card adventure.
If technology bores you, at least admire the beautiful picture on the left taken right after I am the official proud owner of a [...]

Koda Kumi is HOT

April 20th, 2006 · 2 Comments · J Pop, Music Reviews

I was not impressed with her first best collection. But this one … for S$24 … it comes with 1 CD, 1 DVD of her video, and 1 DVD of her live concert. Not only that, it comes with a Board of Film Censors, Singapore sticker of M18. M18 my friend. That means Mature 18! [...]

What I Do for a Living

April 20th, 2006 · No Comments · Silly Me

I divide munchies for a living. No kidding. My partner-in-crime, she volunteered to get the job done but wait – how difficulty can that be right? I grabbed four shopping bags of candies and mini-chocolate bars in excess of S$100 home and started dividing them into four piles of munchies.

I riped the first bag of [...]

Cough Pills

April 16th, 2006 · 1 Comment · Silly Me

I met my favourite doctor this morning again. How are you, he asked me. Well I am HERE! was my reply. After some brief examination, I looked at him in puzzlement and his wise reply was - the virus has spread (oh no?!) and it is still lingering. He delivered the news with such a [...]

Pills

April 16th, 2006 · No Comments · Silly Me

I am still not well … you see, the “eyes” are for my throat and the “mouth” is for my nose. I still got upset by Friday’s headline news (see blog of previous day) and today, I have written a song called “Not the Lesser of Two Evils”.
Now, take a look at my lozenges … [...]

Movies That I Have Recently Watched

April 14th, 2006 · No Comments · Movie Reviews

Looks like these days I have plenty of free time. Cynthia and I did not plan to watch “Failure to Launch” and we bought the tickets out of spontaneousness. Have you ever watched a show that you enjoy while you are inside the cinema and totally have no recollection on plots or actings or whatsoever [...]

Milan Kundera’s Ignorance

April 14th, 2006 · No Comments · Book Reviews, Fiction

I am a huge fan of Milan Kundera, a Franco-Czech novelist. His recent novels “Slowness” and “Identity” left me wanting for more. This short novel Ignorance was published in 2002 and it was only recently I have managed to read it. While “Slowness” took us for a tour of a parallel stories that happened simultaneously [...]
