American pie

Wednesday, October 1

Anyone who has eaten at the International House of Pancakes has more foreign policy experience than Sarah Palin.
I laughed so hard. That’s a comment that someone posted on YouTube in response to one of the many videos that have flooded the site since Sarah Palin was announced as the vice presidential candidate for the republicans.
I actually [...]

All hail the new king in town

Monday, July 7

My first words to Colin when I woke up this morning were, “Who won?”
He was propped up in bed, staring at his MacBook. “Well, it looks like someone is biting a Wimbledon trophy…”
YEAAAHOOOOO!!!
Vijay Amitraj, who had predicted that Roger would win in four sets, had to eat his words.
After an epic battle of four hours [...]

Cushy-couchy-coo!

Tuesday, March 4

My friends are having their first child and they want your thoughts on baby names (it’s a boy). They’re even giving away a brand spanking new Blu Dot Couchoid Studio sofa if baby Quah ends up with the name that you suggested. No kidding.
Click here to play. Or to check out some of the other [...]

Getting reacquainted

Sunday, February 10

Found an old friend when I was back in KL for Chinese New Year. A friend who kept me company on many a lonely night when I was in Kuching years ago, especially when that no-good-sonofa… ooh, let’s not go there.
I’m looking forwarded to those callouses.
(Sumes, time to change the strings, woei!)

Bring On The Night

Tuesday, February 5

My face hurts. I think it’s because I woke up with the same grin that I was wearing from the minute we left the office yesterday to catch The Police in concert.
The trio of Sting, Stewart Copeland, and Andy Summers performed at the Grammy’s last year in LA. The following day, Police fans around the [...]

The Lord of the Rings

Saturday, November 17

It has happened. My Christmas present to Colin didn’t even last a year. Some time last week, it started hanging mid-game. Colin called the Xbox support centre and they had provided him with some troubleshooting tips, but these didn’t seem to work. Then, yesterday, we got the flashing fiery message.

R.I.P. 
Apparently, the three flashing red [...]

Another cool cat in the house

MY PUSSY IS BETTER THAN YOURS
Arriving on the scene on October 26, the Mac OS X Leopard is barely three days old. We acquired it on Sunday.
I haven’t had the time to read the manual or take the guided tour, but from what I remember from the sneak preview, this promises to be one cool [...]

Still rocking after all these years!

Thursday, August 9

The first SINGFest, held at Fort Canning Park, was a bit of a disappointment in terms of turnout. Which, fortunately, also meant that we could wiggle our way almost to the front. And although the down-time between the five acts was way too long, it was worth it. During the breaks, we also had to [...]

The iRevolution

Tuesday, July 3

The iPhone went on sale at all Apple and AT&T stores in the US at 6:00 pm last Friday (June 29). People were queuing from the night before, in eager anticipation of getting their geeky little paws on Apple’s latest gizmo.
To date, it is estimated that more than 700,000 iPhones have been snapped [...]
