Mandatory Monday Geeky Post
I desperately need the functionality of Stickies, but hate how they can never integrate properly into my workflow — they just don’t gel, period. I’m a wiki kind of girl, and Instiki is my poison of choice, though lately I’ve been using it more for storage purposes (my databases of food places to check out, [...]
Singapore Gaga
If you’ve grown up or lived in Singapore, the documentary that was released this weekend — Tan Pin Pin’s Singapore Gaga — might just be the one you’ve always wished someone got around to making, because I certainly did. So what is Singapore Gaga about? People are bound to ask. It’s a difficult question to answer. [...]
Getting Your Priorities Right
You know, it takes a certain amount of moral fortitude — and/or twisted set of priorities — to be doing your exam (by yourself) in your lecturer’s office, he goes off for a meeting for an hour and a half, and instead of looking around into your notes, or even other people’s graded answers in [...]
iBoxer
Just because it would be such a turn on, you know, a woman who keeps her most important asset (i.e. her iPod) within reach at all times. For me, at least.
It Has Come To This
My mum: “We’re going to a mountain in April, hiking to Pangkor in May, and I want to go to Taiwan in June. Do you want to come?” Me: “Harrumph. I’m not going to be here.” My mum: “Oh. Okay.” (Walks away) Me: “Isn’t she even going to ask where I’m going, and for how long?” We have this [...]
Flickr Leech
If you spend as much time on Flickr as I do, you probably hate paging — Flickr Leech is for you!
Electoral Boundaries
The only way I could have found out what GRC my estate is now in was to log on. While I’m guessing we remain in Tanjong Pagar GRC (which is quite a distance away), I never found out because: Oh well. Not that it would have mattered.
The Fourth Woman
for Danielle, who inspired (wander)lust, and taught me to ‘take your life, live it everywhere’ Every night for the last few, I would lead her back to her hotel with her hand in mine. The days began to pass increasingly quickly, feeding off the schedules and the rhythms of travellers. Hovering around backpackers has the [...]
Cosmic Arguments
Sometimes I wonder if everything I say eventually works out the opposite, in a more dramatic fashion than for most people anyway: When I was 12, they had to force me into a girls’ school — I said then, “I don’t want to be lesbian!” When I was 14, I heard my classmate was snogging [...]
Face Off
Some observations on the general state of ‘live’ music from amateur concerts as well as bands in pubs. The ‘new’ song in vogue for bands with no talent: Harder to Breathe. Anything by Maroon5. Even with some technical aptitude: attempting Jimi Hendrix, or The Flight of the Bumblebee, is just.. insane. Unless you’re Steve Vai. What’s up with [...]
