By some measure of good fortune, courtesy of my friend at Scrumpiness.com, I was invited to the Maria Sharapova Live exhibition match. The last time that I watched a live match between top tennis players was many years back, during the Heineken Cup, which Todd Woodbridge won the Men’s Singles. Naturally, I was rather excited [...]

Finally! Last lesson of One B comes to a close, and we were introduced another 4 variations. Although they seemed simple enough, I had some difficulties executing the correct moves, giving the correct tension and providing the necessary lead. It was quite funny, actually when at some point the guy was supposed to bring the [...]

Lesson 3 was slightly easier than the previous one (I think). It is basically yet another extension to the steps we have learned thus far, with a bit of variation and more difficulty. It starts with the open hold, followed by a cross-body lead (without breaking the hold), turn her back again, and then another [...]

I discovered today that I am a slow learner. Sure, I read rather slowly, but strangely, that thought had never crossed my mind. The instructors were teaching a move, the name of which for the life of me I am unable to recall, that requires some rather intricate hand movements. It starts with the [...]

For years, we had to put up with Microsoft’s incompetence at giving us a secure, full-featured, user-friendly web browser. No doubt, it is still the most common web browser on this planet, no thanks to MS’s dominance in the OS market, but it is still very shady in terms of security. I had switched to [...]

I first heard about Assassin’s Creed when I was aimlessly walking around Funan Centre with my friend Fabian. He saw one of the huge posters in front of a store and rambled excitedly about how good the game is supposed to be. Not that I cared a shit dime about this game, since it is [...]

Until Thursday night, I don’t think I will see much Salsa action, so here’s something to whet the appetite until then.

Oh, and for those wondering how Union Square in Singapore looks like, here’s something of a preview. I think this video was taken when it was rather quiet. It is usually packed according to my [...]

When I read the previews of this game from various magazines such as Playworks, Gameaxis and gaming sites like Gamespot, it got me pretty interested. A game from the makers of Diablo II? A successor to that fantastic game? Loot fest?! Unlimited ammo? I gotta have a look! But being someone with limited resources in [...]
