Xmas Shopping
05Dec11
Yeah! Done all our Xmas shopping (….well, almost done) last Sunday in the city. We didn’t even realise there was this yearly Christmas pageant earlier in the morning until later. Anyway, I still think having the pageant in the morning is a rather silly idea even though it is said to improve the city trade in the afternoon. I guess having the parade in broad daylight has one definite advantage, the participants could probably cut down a bit of electricity usage by not powering up their traditional flashing lights, which unfortunately could have made the parade a much more presentable event late in the evening

The Big Prawn- Real SteelReal Steel is a very interesting and surprisingly great family movie. I know some people (me included) may be kind of sick of below average movies with giant butt-kicking robots such as the last Transformers but believe me, this one is different. I said it is a family movie because it basically is about the journey between a father and his son in rediscoveri […]
- Little MacFinally we added another member to our Apple's family, a small Macbook Pro for Jin :)
- Magic TrackpadToday I got an Apple magic trackpad to go with the OS X Lion. I know it will probably never replace the good old rodent especially precision is your main concern, but it does work seamlessly with the Apple new OS. The trackpad, through the new operating system enables you to bring the full "touchscreen" ability of an iPad into your regular desktop. […]
- Transformers 3As one of the most anticipated movie of the year, Transformers 3 was a great let down for me. I think Megan Fox got out at just the right time. Although her replacement, a beautiful model from fashion powerhouse Victoria Secret, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley failed to bring anything fresh to the franchise. I don't have much to say about this movie except th […]
- Roomba 577iRobot Roomba 577 is an automatic vacuum robot which can be programed to run on its own according to a set schedule of up to 7 times a week. I bought this for Jin as her birthday present but in fact, it's probably a present for both of us. Vacuuming has never been this fun since we adopted this little baby! It comes with a self-docking station for recha […]
- BBQ Pork BunsI have been wanting to share this recipe with you since our trip back home but I was just too lazy to do anything else apart from sitting on my ass every evening watching some Chinese dramas downloaded off the net :P For this recipe, I cheated by purchasing the ready made BBQ pork from a restaurant in Northbridge. You actually can achieve very similar result […]
- Fast FiveFast Five is not only the fastest but I reckon, it's simply the best out of the five in the long running Fast and Furious series. Hell, it could be the action movie of the year; and yes, I know we still have more than half of 2011 left; and yes, the Transformer sequel is at the horizon; but the Fast Five is that good! Although the storyline might be a l […]
- The Athlete's FootNo...not the fungus or tinea infested foot, I am talking about The Athlete's Foot shoes company in general. My pair of New Balance runners were long overdue for replacement, so I took advantage of the new year sale and got myself a new pairs at The Athlete's Foot in Belmont. I have never shopped in any of the stores before and to my surprise, it wa […]

- Something for the kitchenDespite needing regular sharpening, I love my big and cheap Chinese cleaver which I probably have been using for more than a decade now. While the cleaver is great for cutting through bones and making mince out of steak, it is sometime too big and clumsy for other purposes. We have been looking for a good cooks knife for quite sometime now and today, we fina […]
