Happy New Year 2012!
I celebrated my New Year on a plane, returning from my two weeks holiday break. The year 2012 greeted me with a very hot summer. It has been high 30s for the past couple of days (yesterday was hitting 40) in Melbourne. My car was heated up like a microwave and the [...]

I’ve seen a fair few of branding on eggs but during my photoshoot at a commercial kitchen last week, I found some with a happy face on it. After staring at the adorable smiling oval little fella, you don’t feel like breaking them up huh?
P.S Of course the chef we worked with didn’t share the same sentiment and [...]

“Sir, I would like a loan comparision please”. I guess the web dev team forgot to go through the QC check

Sometimes I do feel I’m using old, outdated technology tools when I can lie on the bed and work with my tablet. Eventually (and already is) tablets and mobile phones will get more and more powerful than desktops, rendering the latter obsolete in a way.

I’ve been patronising eBay for years and of all the purchases I’ve made outside the shores of Australia, this particular instance really made my day. After going through all the purchasing process from eBay, I received a confirmation email of my order and later on an item tracking email. Now, the latter is pretty normal to have, depending [...]

Found a rupiah note in a Kopiko packet this morning. Lucky me. As of today, 5000 rupiah is around AUD$0.20

Happy New Year! It’s a brand new 2011 and this same problem is happening to me just like last year and the year before and before before then. The problem is, I mistype the year wrongly.
For example, today is 11th January 2011 and I’ll accidentally type in 11th January 2010. Imagine I’m entering the wrong date for [...]

Update: Now, most of them have ported from the iPhone 3Gs to the brand new  spanking iPhone 4, it is time to show off to those who are underprivileged.
I am ”pleased” that iPhone4 has arrived for the “devoted” and “deserving” staff members in the office. With it, we shall have plenty of business/sales coming in and [...]

A couple weeks ago, I sprained my lower back when I was doing some heavy lifting. Initially my sis worried it might be a slipped disc so I was advised to see a GP. As usual the old procrastinating me, wish I heeded her words then. I thought I’ll just leave it to heal by itself [...]

I’ve just signed up PennyTel for my VOIP service. After topping up some credits,  I decided to give it a try this morning and called for an appointment. Here’s my first VOIP encounter experience.
Lady A: “Good morning, XXXX. This is Lady A speaking”
Me: “Good morning, I would like to make an appointment.”
Lady A: “I’m sorry sir; [...]

I have a colleague that is so cheapskate on buying his own tissues and instead he helps himself one every now and then from my teammate’s tissue box.
You’ll see him strolling happily into our department, greets us, invades to my teammate’s table and grabs a piece of tissue. He’ll blow his nose with a loud “pfffft” and walks away. Sometimes you may [...]

Any advice from a parent is always worthwhile to listen to. I heed them all the time.
Over the weekend, my mum called. Usually, there is at least a hint of advice embedded in her usual 15 minutes plus conversations. This time it was short and pretty much random.
Mom: “Son, I just want to let you know this. [...]

Still waiting for Episode 3 (if there is one…). But in the mean time I found someone that made use of the soundclips in the game itself and illustrated with simple hand drawn art. Very cute.

My big boss was on a business trip to UK a couple of weeks ago and returned last Friday. For the past two weeks, everyone would be clocking in to work after 9am or later and clock out before 4.30ish (or better still, they’ll be “working from home”).
And behold, today is Monday morning and everyone is at work by 8.30am! [...]
