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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

After attending the Sony Ericsson blogger event, the devices that left the most impression were the Xperia series. Mainly because of my curiosity to the Google Android operating system.

Final Fantasy XIII Scores Very High In My Book

If I am to combine all the cut scenes from the game Final Fantasy XIII, it can easily be one beautifully made anime in full HD glory (1080p). It takes me 80 hours to see the [...]

Last week I have attended a Sony Ericsson blogger event and got a chance to ‘speed date’ some of their recent and upcoming devices. I must say, the last time I owned a Ericsson phone was more than a decade ago. Back then, seemed like everyone around me was either holding a Ericsson 688 or [...]

How far are you prepared to go to save someone you love? – from the theme of “Heavy Rain” It is hard to define the genre of this critically acclaimed title “Heavy Rain”. It is not exactly an action game, though there are some elements of action. It is not exactly an adventure game either, though [...]

Has it come across to you that some brands are there but you are not noticing them and when you start looking, they are everywhere? Out of the blue, I have received a request to try out the Targus products. I seldom try out anything without knowing if it is good. Coincidentally I was in the [...]
