You didn’t think I was joking when I said Cynthia is going to learn Spanish after Fernando Torres scored the goal that won Spain the UEFA Cup 2008, did you? So I join her, under one condition. Stay tuned and you may hear about it in September this year.
To learn Spanish is one of Cynthia’s [...]

Chennai Here I Come
July 16th, 2008 · 23 Comments · Diary
Oh God, I don’t even know where to start.
I am a small fry at work. The VIP fly out for business trips, not me. I make good coffee and I write well. I make sure that everything is recorded, which is kind of important to the bosses. When I think of my job, I think [...]

It is Diablo III - So the Wait is Over?
June 30th, 2008 · 4 Comments · For the Geeks
I seldom blog about video gaming but this one is big. The Diablo franchise has a new installment, and from one video I have watched, it’s a quantum leap. The graphic is jaw dropping and we can now realistically interact with the environment such as the collapse of the structures as we battle. The control for the [...]

Gearing Up for Sunday Jamming Session
June 22nd, 2008 · 2 Comments · Diary
I don’t do any team sport. I wonder what players would do one day before, say, a football practice. My guitarist Jason wants to check out my new toy. Not just any guitar amp and effect processor but one that comes with a - hold your breath - VOX Valve Reactor. So he suggested a Sunday jamming [...]

My Harvest at the Great Singapore Sales (So Far)
June 13th, 2008 · 10 Comments · Diary
Call me whatever you like but I simply love the teal color flower petal lookalike tiny thingies that produce beautiful sound. When I took them out of the box, Cynthia went oooorrhh sooo cute … and at that moment, I know, girls love that design too. In fact, I think girls love this design this color [...]

The Coincidental Encounters and the Incidental Chain of Events That Leads to This - My First V-blog (Prelude) Episode 2
June 11th, 2008 · 4 Comments · Coincidence, Diary
I don’t want to sound too much like a rip off from Haruki Murakami’s short story “Chance Traveler” but I too have my share of coincidental encounters to share. Totally random of course but interestingly, these coincidences happened in the span of three consecutive days. And outside this three-day window, puff, my days have become [...]

If the Birthday Girl Wants Made of Honour, the Birthday Girl Gets Made of Honour
June 7th, 2008 · 10 Comments · Comedy, Diary, Movie Reviews, Romance
Couple of weeks ago, my friendly boss dropped by my workplace - like he always does in an intraday manner to go through a checklist of 101 items with me - and he talked about “Made of Honour” instead. He even gave a two thumbs up on that movie. That was scary. Was I being Googled [...]

My New Toy and a Whirlwind of Technology
May 29th, 2008 · 6 Comments · For the Geeks
I have promised to post the details of my new toy and here we are. But before we get to that, I wish to share a little story with you all. I used to think that talking about the climate of the technology world bore people. Recently, I have the privilege to meet people who [...]

See I Told You So / A Geek for a Day
May 23rd, 2008 · 15 Comments · Diary
You can laugh at me, or awe at my supreme skill of anticipation (not!?). But look, I’ve already told you so. Skip the 1,400-word wall of text of my previous post and scroll to the third last paragraph. Come back when you are done, OK? Yep, I predicted how the American Idol would end.
OK. I [...]
