I’m sure you have all heard about the South Asia earthquake and tsunamis. I’m not going to say anything about it since no word could do it justice. The least I can do is ask you to make a donation towards the relief funds if you have some money to spare. You can do it…… Continue reading A Call for Help

Ever since I witnessed the Northern Lights a.k.a. Aurora Borealis on November 7 (which was the most amazing thing, ever), I’ve become slightly obsessed with SpaceWeather.com. I have to check this site at least once a day. One night, after the November 7 Aurora sighting, the boy had to reluctantly drive me out of town…… Continue reading Always Take the Weather

Last month I started posting my favourite photos taken with my new digital camera to my Flickr account instead of to my photolog for reasons that I really can’t remember right now. Unfortunately, I have exceeded my Flickr quota for this month so there’ll be no new photos posted to Flickr until next month, unless…… Continue reading My Flickr Account

I came across this boyband parody through Swirlee yesterday and I just have to listen to it first thing in the morning since then because it never fails to crack me up. I feel sorry for the boy, though. It’s the first thing he has to listen to before he goes to work. Though I…… Continue reading Boy O Boy

If your weblog is powered by Movable Type and Bob from bob@y*o.com (where the * is an identifier made up of 3 or 4 digits) loves you so much that he keeps posting unwanted comments to your random weblog entries, add this regular expression (regex) to your MT-Blacklist. It will stop him for sure. I…… Continue reading Bob Loves You

Well, it would be easy if only you could see the cursor. Told you it was frustrating! I could never go…… Continue reading Dude, Where’s My Cursor?

About a month ago, I got hooked playing the Counting the Stars game. You might be, too. I just thought I’d post the link here in case any of you hasn’t discovered it yet. It’s pretty addictive. The funny thing about it is, if I concentrate really hard on the game, I would score less…… Continue reading Counting the Stars

Last weekend, we had supper at the boy’s favourite Pad Thai restaurant in Stratford. The restaurant is run by a Vietnamese couple. It was nothing fancy, but the food was good. Besides, you just can’t help but liking a place where the toilet is called the “lady + man room”. The restaurant lady immediately recognised…… Continue reading Fortune Cookies and Other Tales

I know I’m risking getting laughed at by the boy by posting this but I scored a 7/10 at the What’s that song? quiz Modest Mouse edition and a perfect 10/10 at the Bon Jovi edition. What can I say. I grew up with Bon Jovi singing cheesy songs in the background. Don’t tell me…… Continue reading Fun Music Quiz
