Ok, I said I will not be blogging for a while, but I can’t help it. My warden sent me a URL about Google’s new T-Mobile G1. I guess she has been trying to dissuade me from getting the iPhone.
The iPhone is a beautiful piece of equipment that causes the heart to skip a beat [...]

Ok folks, I will be touring around somewhere in Korea for about a week. I suppose I will not have much Internet access nor much time to blog. So until then, just wait patiently. I will try to post more photos of Korea.

Even if you have the time to spare, the hospital must be one of those places that you will try to avoid visiting. Much less the A&E department. But when an emergency calls for it, and when the neighborhood GP is fast asleep (or shagging his/her partner/nurse), other than the 24-hr clinics, the A&E could [...]

Well my blog and I disappeared for a couple of months, and visibly there is a huge gap in between my posts. In between then and now, quite a number of things have happened. I will not attempt to bore you with the details, nor can I do so if I wanted to, especially with [...]
