Music in Movies

Posted on 21 Mar 200914 Mar 2018   by CY

One way I get introduced to classics I haven’t heard before is, surprisingly, through science-fiction movies. Specifically, there has been over the years a bit of use of the classics in the Star Trek movies and TV series. And whenever

Visiting the USA – Ang Moh’s POV

Posted on 20 Mar 2009   by Matt

Whereas I’m ecstatic you’re visiting my country, buddy, I’m finding your current preparations alarmingly inefficient.  It really sucks I won’t be around to show you the ins and outs of American lifestyle, but let’s go over some things you’ll need

By the Roadside

Posted on 20 Mar 2009   by CY

There was a small jungle fire at Hougang some weeks ago opposite Punggol Park which turn the patch of trees and grassland into an ugly mess of black and brown. Ling on her way home yesterday though spotted Lallang growing

Vacation 2010

Posted on 20 Mar 2009   by CY

One of those little sacrifices you have to make when you’ve got a child coming along the way is ‘couple-only’ time like vacations. Still, that doesn’t mean I can’t plan for trips further down the road, like say at the

Phone Ownages

Posted on 19 Mar 200914 Jan 2010   by CY

Continuation from my entry on phone ownership earlier.:) There’s been a bunch of phones I’ve been keeping an eye on since deciding to change my mobile last week. There’s quite a bewildering array of devices to suit every price and

I am Tour Agent

Posted on 19 Mar 2009   by CY

Many of us when we’re abroad for a vacation would enroll in a tour package and let someone else handle all the arrangements pertaining to places, transportation, accommodation and the like. There’s indeed an argument for leaving planning to the

More notes.:) Navigation: The SD20 has a small number of buttons and levers for triggering the record, shutter for still images, zooming, the built-in LED video light, power-on/off, battery release etc. But the rest of it is operated via a

Panasonic HDC-SD20 – Notes I

Posted on 17 Mar 200914 Jan 2010   by CY

The HDC-SD20 is Panasonic’s entry line of Full HD digital camcorders. It’s a pretty new release too; several stores including MSColor, Courts and Best Denki, haven’t received stock for it yet. And Amazon.com lists the item for sale only from

Baby Names Wrap

Posted on 17 Mar 2009   by CY

The other day I saw our baby daughter kick! Not through the Ultrasound, but through little bumps off Ling’s belly as though our little tot couldn’t wait to get out LOL. Ling’s been rubbing her tummy (a lot!), talking soothingly

Thinking Back X – In Retrospect

Posted on 16 Mar 2009   by CY

The Ph.D program finally came to a close when I received the scroll in Oct 2007. Yeah, my graduation got delayed by a year even though I’d submitted my thesis in Jan 2006. By the time I’d finished the usual

HD Toy

Posted on 15 Mar 200914 Jan 2010   by CY

While I’ve had quite a few still image cameras, both of the digital and film sort, I haven’t been in video recording for quite nearly as long. Consumer-priced video recorders didn’t drop in price quite as quickly as photographic cameras

Thinking Back IX – Writing the Thesis

Posted on 14 Mar 2009   by CY

Well, all that pain-staking data gathering work, subsequent data analysis and theory generation would be pretty much pointless if you can’t put it all into words. Not unsurprisingly, a lot of doctoral candidates ultimately get stuck at the thesis writing
