2010 FIFA World Cup

The fact that I am still playing video games at the age of 32-years-old is not too old right. I would like to think being “young at heart”, that’s all that matters, haha. Looks like I’m adding 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa as games I’ve to buy. Soccer fans do not miss this game,

George W. Bush Memoir

Leave it to David Letterman to poke fun at ol’ George. Hilarious!! Oh did ya hear, George W. Bush is writing his memoir. That would be interesting. Bush Junior has taken a lot of flak over the years, and justly so, considering the many YouTube bloopers about him

This is why people are losing their money

Incompetent employees of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission who download porn rather than working to resolve and taking care of the money matters. Although laughing as I read the report, I was also troubled if employees at my own local banking and financial sector are doing the same. An internal investigation found over 30 cases

Lost ‘iPhone 4G’ police raid

Don’t mess with Apple man. The case of the lost iPhone 4G that’s under gizmodo (tech website) possession turns ugly, as the Police was involved. Looks like Steve Jobs pulls some strings and uses his connections. Police rammed in the door of Gizmodo.com editor Jason Chin who posted photos and video of a new iPhone

Want to apply for HDB flat

Yup that’s one of the lines Singapore men used to propose to their woman here. For the clueless and International readers, HDB flat are our state-built housing pigeon-hole units, where newly married couple are given priority when purchasing a home. Some find the line cute, some consider it unromantic, but for me I find it

Do’s and Don’ts of breaking-up

I’ve to admit I’ve been guilty of bad break-up when I was younger, and back then I didn’t know better. I started late in life getting to know girls, or getting into relationship, so I didn’t quite know to go about the break-up etiquette. Now I know better of course, but my current issue now

How to use Twitter effectively? Well here’s some insight from the co-founder himself Biz Stone. My own Twitter usage is not that extensive, maybe 1-2 Tweets a day depending on my mood. Some weeks I don’t even Tweet. But when I do, it’s all very personal, meaning the Tweets are all about my experiences, and

Pendekar Bujang Lapok

YouTube is indeed amazing, someone actually uploaded a whole length feature film of Pendekar Bujang Lapok. But of course the downside it was broken up in parts.

Pokai Face

Below is the perfect parody song that exemplifies Singapore current two major issues, expensive housing and our growing foreign ‘import’. Actually it’s pokai, not Pok Kai by the way. It’s a Malay term for not having any money. Haiz like this how am I ever able to afford my own home as a single. I

The ‘Rainman’ of Hardware Tools

This is really a unique reporting, on a man who has a knack of remembering things.

Copy Machines

Interesting … think before you use that public copier machine. Scary if someone is intent to manipulate this new-found risk. I didn’t know there’s a potential identity-theft risk by just using a photocopier, or there’s a hard drive being used to copy/store the copied image. Well one could evade using such machines by using your

Making money with Twitter

Cockroach

I don’t understand most people fear of cockroaches. They’re still basically insects, like ants and butterfly, well you don’t see people scurrying for higher ground when it’s around. Maybe it’s because how these cockroaches appear. Their exoskeleton does looks fugly and eyyww-like, but I can live with that. I don’t know about the rest, not
