San Francisco Videos – Yerba Buena Gardens
The about 8 hours of HD video I took during the San Francisco trip have been left on the computer hard disk for a while, so I finally got round to encoding some small snippets. I’ll be uploading these video
Ore wa, kimi no tame ni koso shini ni iku – Part 2
Continued from the previous post. On the upside, For those We Love touches on a theme we don’t see often in Western-made films. I certainly don’t think the American veterans will remember the Kamikaze units with fondness. The whitewashing and
Ore wa, kimi no tame ni koso shini ni iku – Part 1
Ore wa, kimi no tame ni koso shini ni iku (2007) – on rental. Ore wa, kimi no tame ni koso shini ni iku – or “For Those We Love” – opens with a scene of a kind-looking and elderly
Academic Writing 101
I write a lot, on different places and different platforms: there’s discussion posts on several forums I visit or keep track of, blog posts here and on the school blog, product reviews, papers, and emails & letters. Both the output’s
Baby on the Go
Mum’s birthday is coming in a few days’ time, and Jasmine was planning to celebrate the occasion at what’s turning into a regular family venue: the Imperial Treasures restaurant. We’d been to the Great World City branch for family birthday
Bawling = Stress?

Where be the monkeys?… Part 1
Funnily, Matt and I don’t always enjoy the same kind of games. In a nutshell, he’s a much more discriminating gamer than I am, whereas I’m more temperamental when it comes to video games when I’m not saddled with the
16 kg lens
Just for laughs; is this the heaviest lens available at consumer retail? And mind you; the lens above actually exists. It’s the Sigma 200-500 f/2.8 APO EX DG Ultra-Telephoto Zoom Lens, and retails for a very cool USD28,999.00. And Amazon
B is for ?
Burp. Burping Hannah has been a major occupation since we introduced the bottle. (Whenever she is breastfed, she requires little or no burping at all.) I started off with Avent bottles, believing that these are the better ones (they claimed
Movies Mediocrity
I watch a lot of films, though these days mostly on rental. There isn’t an exact number of course, but I’ll put it roughly to a ballpark of between 150 to 200 new movies / TV shows hours a year.
Killshot
Killshot (2008) – on rental. This was another film that I think had a short theatrical run in Singapore. It was released, then disappeared off theatrical screening lists before much people noticed it. The film centers on a device plot
Drakensang – Notes
As a follow-up to my post on Virtual Worlds the other day, here’s a post on Drakensang – after spending about six evenings in it, several of which with Hannah cradled in my arms. Visually, the game’s amazing, the more
