Took this shot when she’d just finished her dinner. I guess the pillow belongs to her… like, forever.



Dancing sperms in iTunes Visualizer

9 March 2012 at 12:54 pm » Comments (0)

I usually don’t use iTunes as my choice of player unless I have to sync with an Apple product but I’m using it to listen to my internet radio while leaving the Visualiser on for fun.
This arvo I just noticed this. Is it me with a  twisted mind or we have a bunch of dancing [...]



Beef tataki at Tao’s Restaurant

28 February 2012 at 1:02 pm » Comments (0)

Over the weekend, I had a seven course dinner with my colleagues at Tao’s Restaurant. It’s one of those Asian fusion (Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Western)  and fancy restaurants that I do not bother to try until my colleagues suggested me this. Overall, the meals were good; food was well presentable and the atmosphere was [...]

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 [...]



The egg with a smiley face

29 November 2011 at 9:17 am » Comments (0)

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

 
As of now, the site is still up and not corrected. Follow the link here and click on Calculators



I’m still using a grandpa box huh?

Sometimes I do feel I’m using old, outdated technology tools when I can lie on the bed and work with my tablet.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.



An eBay story: Keeping it fake

4 August 2011 at 2:25 pm » Comments (0)

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 [...]

Happy New Year, it’s 2010!…oops, 2011

11 January 2011 at 1:34 pm » Comments (0)

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 [...]



Owning iPhone 4 brings in business!

10 January 2011 at 10:05 am » Comments (0)

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 [...]



My injury is “mechanical”

8 July 2010 at 10:30 am » Comments (0)

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 [...]



VOIP fun

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; [...]
