Google Street View
One of the tools I used in conjunction with Google Maps while planning for the San Francisco trip earlier this year was Street View. Not only could you check out overhead satellite imagery, now you could even zoom into street
Car Trouble
Just when I’d blogged about the decisions that went well for 2009, one decision that I’d blogged about being a right one the year before comes right back to bite me in the arse. Basically, it’s been a terrible week
Year in Review – 2009 – Part 3
Here’s the last in the series of posts on our biggest decisions of the year and how they’ve fared.:) Having the delivery at Thomson Medical Center (Win). There weren’t a lot of choices to begin with: there’s just a handful
The Taking of Pelham 123
The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009) – on rental. There are actor pairings that are so potentially explosive that when they’re in films together, you don’t mind as much flaws elsewhere, whether it’s in cinematography of if the story strings
Year in Review – 2009 – Part 2
Continuing from the previous post.:) The Ikea sofa (Win). We’d been thinking of replacing our living room sofa barely a month or two after its purchase from the furniture warehouse 3 years ago. The old sofa set fitted looks wise
Obsessed
Obsessed (2009) – on rental. My only impression of Obsessed comes from a trailer that was screened during Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen if I remember correctly. The general premise of the film was easy to tell from just the
Mass Effect

Year in Review – 2009 – Part 1
It’s come to that time in the year again where I get to look back at some of the most major decisions this year and and with the benefit of a mite bit of hindsight look at how they went.
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) – on HD. There’s normally only one reason you watch films in the Ice Age series: and it’s for a certain lovable sabertooth squirrel named Scrat who obsesses over his acorn. Everything else
Downpours
It’s smack in the monsoon season again. There’s been heavy downpours every day, and the weather man has even projected that Singapore is going to be facing continued and sustained rainy days until the end of January. As pleasant and
Dragon Age Origins
Echoing again for the other blog I write for.:) — 2009 has been a good year for PC role-playing games (CRPGs). We’ve had Drakensang and Risen so far, and Divinity II: Ego Draconis is set to be released next month.
Easy Virtue
Easy Virtue (2008) – on rental. After two fantasy, one disaster, and one ponderous conspiracy thriller film in about a week, I was glad for a change of pace when a comedic-drama arrived by way of rental. I haven’t heard
