This is probably one silly insignificant blog entry but hopefully you may be able to relate to some of the take home messages I found.
When was the last time you hear someone or even yourself saying “no, I can’t dance”, “I can’t play any instruments”, “I can’t paint”, “I can’t sing”, ”the only thing I can [...]

Ripping DVD Tracks For Your iPod, MP3 Player, And Wireless Phone
January 29th, 2008 4 Comments
Am I the only one who is obsessed with importing my favorite music video clips into a portable device while keeping each track separate? I have been asking my circles of friends, from techno-geeks to don’t-ask-me-I-am-just-a-user, but no one can give me a satisfactory answer. So I have decided to try to find an answer [...]

On Sophie Kinsella’s Shopaholic & Baby
January 28th, 2008 11 Comments
Yet another fellow senior from my good old university that I am proud of (erm … somewhere in Oxford, UK), I swear I might have met Sophie Kinsella or rather Madeleine Wickham back in my college days. Make no guess of how old I am please. Onto her fifth installment of the shopaholic series, this time [...]

27 Dresses – Girls Would Love This
January 26th, 2008 12 Comments
If you have just started dating a girl not for long, bringing her to watch “27 Dresses” would probably up your rating for a good few notches. She may even remember this chick flick as the movie for the both of you. So you better prepare to write down the date and place and what she wears for [...]

Mr. Average (Comme tout le monde) – A Light Entertainment
January 25th, 2008 3 Comments
My body was definitely suffering from movie withdrawal syndrome and the good thing about not having any for a while is that every movie advertised looks good. In the morning, I texted my Movie Review Squad with the message of “documentary, French romance comedy, Japanese anime, or horror?”. And almost simultaneously, I received two text messages pointing at [...]

Just For Laugh – Handphone Charging Service

Okay, I actually do like this hotel in Jakarta so I am going to put the logo instead in order to avoid the name being picked up by the search engine spiders. It is also my attempt to write something light and not so wordy. Hope you like it.
Last Monday, when I left Jakarta, I [...]

The Bible By Karen Armstrong – Books That Changed The World
January 22nd, 2008 3 Comments
I confess that when I first picked up Karen Armstrong’s latest work, I was skeptical about a biography written based on the world’s most widely distributed book. Nevertheless, I have deep respect for Karen Armstrong who is now a freelance monotheist and is able to look at all three faiths of Abraham in an objective manner. And since [...]

Taman Safari Indonesia – Don’t Miss If You Visit Jakarta
January 21st, 2008 16 Comments
Quite honestly speaking, Taman Safari is simply the destination to be if you are to visit Jakarta. Equipped with tons of carrots and bananas, we drove into a path that most animals roamed freely. Animals such as zebras and deer, they tended to stick their heads into the car as they munched onto the carrots [...]

After traveling gazillions of miles across the ocean just to see her, Cynthia did not even realize that I have a “new haircut”! Umph! I protested, and her immediately reply was: it is not a “new” haircut, just a haircut. She reminded me that I have the same hairdresser for the last 10 years and have [...]

Destination Bandung!
January 16th, 2008 10 Comments
These days I seem to have shocked my friends with my impromptu decisions. Sometimes these decisions shock me too. It is an avalanche of factors that lead to one single event. Much like what the subprime has done to the indexes worldwide today, “Destination Bandung” is going to burn a hole in my pocket. Though [...]
