I’ve had my trusty Canon Powershot G7 for quite a while now, since March 2007. It all started when I wanted to get a new digital camera for my New Zealand trip. The choice was pretty straight forward back then. I was not sure if a DSLR was what I wanted for travel, and I [...]

Since picking up my first James Patterson book – Kiss the Girls, I have been searching for his first in the Alex Cross series – Along Came a Spider. Unfortunately, it proved an elusive item to get from the National Library, and I am too cheap poor to get a new one from the bookstore. [...]

I woke up early that morning on the 29th September in South Korea, the second last day of our tour. It was cold, but the signs all point to a lovely day ahead. As I opened the door to the balcony of our hotel room, it was not the chirpy sounds of the early birds [...]

Yay, it’s here again. The Singapore Be…Beh…Bi…Buh…B… WTF… (I’m having real trouble here) Biennale 2008 is back, with more arty farty stuff. A bunch of which was completely lost on me. Before I begin, how the hell do you pronounce this B-word again? After Googling for a while, I finally got it down to “Bian-narl-lay”… [...]

Desserts are a gift to the world. I love them. More so my warden. Though it is a love-hate relationship. We love them for the wonderful sensations they send down our spines, as they make their way to our stomachs. We hate them when we look into the mirror and grab our love handles bulging [...]

Two highly intelligent killers are on the loose, and they are cooperating, competing, committing the perfect coast to coast murders that had the authorities baffled. One is a collector, organized and almost artistic in his “work”. The other is cold and impersonal, capable of extreme violence. Their distinct styles seem totally unconnected, yet both are [...]

My gaming desktop has been dead for a while now, due to the blue screen of MS death. It says that a problem has been detected with my NTFS system. Uh-oh, that really spells trouble, for those in the know. A quick Google reveals that I am not the first (of course) and probably among [...]

Singaporeans love food. Where Singaporeans go, we must seek and taste the local specialties, much like raving mad men on a search and destroy mission… err… almost but less brutal. Delicacies to tingle the senses. Where to begin? Some people love it, some people hate it. I was told that the Koreans do not really [...]

South Korea, with its unique blend of ancient Chinese influence and modern Western flavors, is rich in national heritage. Followers of Korean movies or the popular drama serials will do themselves a big favor by making their way there, if nothing else just to absorb the sights of the film locations.
I was pleasantly surprised that [...]
