Cosfest VIII (2009)
Cosfest VIII was held at Downtown East, Pasir Ris on the 11th and 12th of July from 1pm till 7pm. Of course in reality people went much earlier and left much later than the official times. It was held at D'Marquee. A dome like thing but pretty much once you're at Downtown East, if you get lost, just find the costumed people and you [...]
TGX 09 (aka The Games Xpo)
This is a random courtesy lion. This time he's wearing a mask to prevent H1N1. That's nice of him. Oh for non-locals, he's kinda like the mascot to be uh, courteous and all. But let's get back to business! TGX 09 is The Games Xpo! I have no idea why they spelled expo as Xpo but whatever. It's "cool" to do so, I guess. This isn't the [...]

HSWG in the Today paper!
Some of you might have noticed us in the paper today in... Today. So this post is mostly about self-plugging bits! Heh. Our bit is in page 6 of the GSS supplement section in 26th June 2009, Today paper. No, not the chess one, the one below it. (more...)
Romance Week! Starts… next week.
With all these quarantine stuff and all at work/school freaking me out due to H1N1, I have proclaimed next week to be Romance Week! That and cause my friend just sent me some new romance books. I figured I might as well make a week long episode of romance since I have quite a bit of things to say about it! Stay tuned for romance week... next [...]
The Quest! At the library…
Those who had been reading my twitter (no, I'm not telling you what it is but it's really easy to find anyway and I won't tell you because if you follow me, you'd be spammed since I get really random) would have noticed me going "LE GASP!" at the latest initiative by the national library. What is the Quest? The Quest is a story card game thingy [...]
Meanwhile… the Nokia Music Store
Click the thumbnail! This is my entry for Nuffnang-Nokia contest! Basically it says to make a story out of the songs available in the Singapore Nokia Music Store! Okay, so my story's a bit morbid but it's actually fun trying to write something with song lyrics. Somehow I guessed a lot of people will make some story about music but then it hit [...]
Get item Creative Vado HD! Gain +100 blogging points!
Item get! I got myself a Creative Vado HD from Creative (duh). I ordered it online actually since there's a sale going on and I'd get a free travel case worth $25 during this period of time. Yes, this might mean more video footage in my posts here! How fun is that indeed. (more...)
Flash mob or Fail mob?
Okay, Nuffnang organized a flash mob on the 13th June 2009 at 5pm. Or at least the details was "5pm till 7pm". I was thinking flash mobs happen just within minutes so why do they need hours? Mind you, this is the FIRST flash mob they've tried to organize in Singapore so if you've googled or yahooed about it, you're gonna read the reactions of [...]
Sims 3 launch!
It was yesterday on the 2nd June at the Iluma in Bugis (Singapore, if you're not local reading this). And oh man was it insane. The invite said 2pm but it launched at 1pm since I think there were too many people and we were all gonna block the mall's entrance or something if we waited another hour. I arrived there at 11.30am. This is the [...]
