The dark dark knight

The Dark Knight - Batman’s latest movie instalment, is dark. I wasn’t anticipating this movie that much initially. Even after the movie, I wasn’t sure if i’ve enjoyed the movie or not. It’s a strange feeling. I found the movie long (it’s more than 2 hours), and the beginning a little bit draggy. But after [...]

Getting sick of getting sick

I hate getting sick, despite what I understand in why do we get sick. I always feel that time getting sick is time wasted. And I would rather get sick on a weekday than on a weekend. A weekday, I can get a doctor’s certification and I don’t have to go to work. On a [...]

Putting email into context

Do you write an email to your colleague who’s sitting right next to you? Would you rather email a person to negotiate a deal? How many times do you play email tennis until you decide to pick up the phone to call the person?
I’m an office bound worker, and my work requires me to deal [...]

Another wordpress upgrade

After a few trial and error, which seems to be the order of the day (see article on blunder blender), I did a few upgrades on wordpress (see previous article on Upgrading Wordpress and bookmarking).
The first thing I’ve upgraded was to include an automatic upgrade script for wordpress, many thanks to Techie Buzz. This is [...]

Blunder blender

Ever wish you have a gadget that could just blend away the blunders that you’ve made? To be able to start over? To be given a second chance?
Sometimes, you get a second chance, sometimes, you don’t. In either case, you’ll still need to create a mental blender to shred up the blunder you’ve made, in [...]

Managing the environment

I was lucky enough to be invited to stay over at an organic farm, only to be the generous blood donor to those pesky mosquitoes. So here I am typing this article while the bite marks stare evilly back at me. Still, I’ve enjoyed the stay. It’s a breath of fresh air, literally, from the [...]

Limits are liberating

I woke up at 5.30 in the morning, without an alarm clock. Since I’m awake, I might as well do something productive. So I listed down what I wanted to do, booted up my computer and started arranging my work place. Then I found a bill which I needed to pay. So I went online [...]

Ringtones to alert others

Someone on the train chose a baby’s cries as a ring tone on her phone. Her phone rang which made everyone turned their attention to her, only to realise she’s pregnant. Someone then stood up to offer her a seat. She didn’t even thank him and seem to think it’s her right. And her crying [...]

Kung Fu Panda

A panda destined to be a Dragon Warrior, and yet do not have a clue how. Let’s face it, have you seen a panda fight? Even his teacher is clueless how to teach this panda kung fu.
So the movie begins with how each other found faith and belief in each other, and themselves - the [...]

Think big, drive small

When it comes to money, the holy grail of all questions is always “how to make more money”. I believe this is only part of the equation of making money. We also have to know how to spend the money so that we will end up having more money to make more money. I believe [...]
