It has been a while since I last attended a Nokia’s media event for the bloggers. My personal schedule seems to be in conflict with Nokia’s calendar lately for some reasons. I have been anticipating Nokia’s next generation smartphone. Suffice to say, I am happy to be able to make it for the Lumia event [...]

Singapore National Youth Orchestra – A Musical Chemistry
April 22nd, 2011 No Comments
We’ve missed the previous media invite on the LANXESS SYNO Classic event due to our Spanish commitment. And they are kind enough to invite us for the main event that took place yesterday at Esplanade, an event coincided with the JP Morgen Corporate Run that caused half of a highway in town to be sealed [...]

Upcoming Sony Ericsson Xperia arc, neo, and PLAY
March 30th, 2011 No Comments
Xperia arc This blogger event could not have come in a better timing. Cynthia took over my Xperia X8 because she has ‘accidentally’ soaked her old phone that I bought for her with water, inside her gym bag. X8 is good as an entry level Android phone but we are looking for something with a [...]

Peranakan Museum – A Trendy And Happening Boutique Museum In Singapore
November 24th, 2010 4 Comments
Picture this with me. Across the road, you have found the entrance to a museum. It is your first visit. Outside the museum, there are stalls crowded with curious shoppers, genuine shoppers of all ages. Stepping inside, the high ceiling hall is brightly lit filled with youngsters dressed in trendy clothing socializing with one another, [...]

David Archuleta, And The N8 Launch Event By SingTel And Nokia
November 15th, 2010 8 Comments
Looking back, I think it was the little disagreements that glued Cynthia and I to American Idol. Cynthia supported Elliott Yamin and I, Katharine McPhee. We would debate for days that (a) I was not staring at McPhee’s boobs and mesmerized by her look and (b) I thought McPhee really sang well and sang really well. But [...]

Let Me In – Quite Possibly The Greatest Vampire Love Story Of All
November 11th, 2010 5 Comments
“Let Me In” is not a typical vampire movie, quite possibly something you have not seen before. That is if you have not watched the original Swedish film “Let The Right One In (2008)”. We can debate if this is a horror film or more like a thriller later. For the film characters that are [...]

The Housemaid – More Than Just A Korean Erotic Thriller
November 9th, 2010 5 Comments
I remember seeing the movie poster of “The Housemaid” when we were in Hong Kong. Back then, we picked a Spanish film to watch instead. I am surprised. More often than not, films get released in Singapore earlier than in Hong Kong. When Omy.sg sent me a media invite to preview the movie, I eagerly [...]

Red – It Is A Fun Watch, And There Are Malkovich, Willis, And More
November 4th, 2010 1 Comment
The movie preview took place at Bugis Shaw. And it has been a while since we hang out in that area. Cynthia bumped onto her colleague while I to mine. Small world it is indeed. The story of “Red” evolves around a team of ex-CIA agents who are now being targeted by the CIA. The [...]

Building A Smarter Planet
October 27th, 2010 8 Comments
This evening, we discovered a new stall inside Thomson Plaza food court selling Thai food, advertised as “Gourmet Thai food”. Gourmet-ness is relative. But inside a food court that sells hopelessly tasteless food, this new stall has way exceeded my expectation. Over dinner, towards the end of a sumptuous gourmet meal , I recalled that I had [...]

Time To Choose A Powerful Security Suite – Norton Internet Security 2011
October 21st, 2010 No Comments
After installing the new Norton Internet Security 2011 into one of my computers at home, I opened up my web browser to rearrange my toolbars. The moment I stacked one of the toolbars onto the Google toolbar, I have received a notification from Norton saying that the downloaded file is likely to be safe. But [...]
