It has been a while since I visited the store and exploring new books to read and expanding my reading list was what I did there.I was all alone there, solace and a peace of mind allowed me to...

A 1TB portable hard drive from Iomega. Price: SGD 119. Pretty good in my opinion. The present 500gb portable hard drive is currently being used as a Time Machine. I migrated all my files to the new hard drive and it took forever! I had to delete a lot of files along the way though... Continue Reading →

I love to take photos. And that would mean that I would need to buy better lens to improve on my photography skills. But they are darn bloody expensive. And without any form of financial returns to my investments which amounts to nothing more than just a harmless little hobby to keep myself entertained, I... Continue Reading →
I'm a huge fan of Harry Dresden, a character envisioned by author Jim Butcher. I was browsing through what the community has done for that character in terms of fanarts and I came up with a couple of, what I think is the most accurate depiction of Harry and Thomas in those novels as I...

Only one is missing, the Rocky Horror Show mini album. I don't quite like that album.
As of this writing, there are about 14 books written by Jim Butcher on Harry Dresden, the Wizard cum private investigator of Chicago.

We all have em. And these secrets, we sometimes tell them to someone whom you trust completely. I have secrets, but i have no one to confide with. It gnaws at me on various occasions. Sometimes i try to lock it up deep within, but often times it resurfaces and haunts me. It pains me... Continue Reading →
Finding a wifi hotspot is really not that difficult in Singapore. Any fast-food restaurant, mall or cafes like starbucks or coffee bean would give you access to one or more of available wifi hotspot for anyone to use. Depending on whether you are a singtel or star hub or m1 user, you will definitely get... Continue Reading →
NO I cannot let it take over me, the feelings of guilt and envy, of trying too hard only to face disappointment. I cannot let it have its way and take over my life. Yes time is running short, but that does not mean it will go away forever. I cherish our friendship more than... Continue Reading →
To mention that this is an excruciatingly tough semester, is an understatement.

This is meant to be for my own amusement, but seriously, anyone with a good ear can tell which one is better (by a mile) Adele, 21 years old, with a voice of a goddess. She is so natural with a voice so powerful. Rebecca Black, one of the worst singer I... Continue Reading →
It's that time of the semester again. With exams around the corner, the semester has proven to be the most difficult and challenging I have ever encountered in my Uni life. Its a double whammy for having Advance Biochemistry and Biophysics modules to be taken in a single semester. With all the assignment datelines, tests,... Continue Reading →
