Finally, the blue sky appeared on the third day of our holiday. We switched from museum crawling to monument crawling. If I am to pick one place in Paris I love to hang out the most, that has to be the two islands – Ile de la Cité and Ile St-Louis – in the center of [...]

Koalas and Kangaroos, Penguins and Black Swines
August 24th, 2010 8 Comments
Note: This photo was taken in 2007 using my point-and-shoot camera during our trip to Australia. I needed to make a short speech on one of my holidays in Spanish. Panic, I have started writing in simple 5th grade English and hoped to translate this piece of writing into Spanish on the way to my [...]

The Story Of A Boatman (La Historia Del Barquero)
August 19th, 2010 4 Comments
This is my latest doodle titled “Boatman And A Girl Together With Other Parties“. I have not been drawing for quite some time. Drawing can be therapeutic. Especially if you have a rough day at work (like mine today). Each stroke scraps away a little bit of the trouble in your mind. By the time [...]

First Two Days In Paris Was Colder Than We’d Anticipated
August 15th, 2010 No Comments
Time flies. If I don’t get started documenting our travel journal, year 2011 may hit me before I know it. June this year, we have visited France. Like our trip to Spain last year, I am going to publish an article every weekend, until I run out of materials. I am familiar with Paris. When [...]

60km, S$90, 2 Toilet Seats I Installed With My Bare Hands
August 13th, 2010 11 Comments
This post is dedicated to Mark’s Warden. For she has showed me the way when no others could. So, thank you. This post, I hope, is the first and last time my toilet bowl is featured in my website. The story begins with the heavy drilling noise from one of our neighbors one morning, when [...]

Cruising At The Speed of Snail, Lately
August 8th, 2010 No Comments
Lately, I find myself cruising at snail speed, on almost everything that I am doing, that I am planning to do. Perhaps August is the month that is at the tail end of a summer holiday, but not quite near to the year end events such as Christmas celebration. Or perhaps, I am feeling blah hit [...]

Flip Video – A Video Recording And Sharing Device That Fits Into Your Pocket
July 29th, 2010 No Comments
It is a coincidence that most of my recent entries are technology related. I promise I will go back to my write-ups on outer-V and mascara, eyeliner and angled brush in no time. One evening, I have attended a blogger event hosted by Cisco in one of the restaurants at Vivocity. Centered to this event [...]

Starcraft II Local Retail Copy S$109 Vs US Digital Download US$59.99
July 28th, 2010 16 Comments
Take today’s exchange rate as an example. 1 US dollar is just below 1.36 Singapore dollar. You can do the maths and work out how much more gamers in Singapore are paying for a local copy of Starcraft II (35% extra). I have pre-downloaded my US version directly days before the game was launched and have paid US$59.99 this [...]

God Of War III – “You Are Dead”
July 25th, 2010 2 Comments
Picture this. I would be siting on the sofa manhandling my gaming controller with such vengeance and ferocity; Cynthia would be siting on the floor reading newspapers or doing her own thing. Often when she looked at our plasma television, she would see the words in font size one million that said: You are dead. [...]
