Our Punngol Topaz Flat
I just realised I hadn't written about Lix and I getting our flat -- @ Punggol Topaz! I'm absolutely excited at the prospect of oving in -- even though it's still about four years away from being built and the keys being handed over to us o_O. The flat selection process itself was a thrilling... Continue Reading →
My 2011 Personality
Over the years I've pretty regularly written about the results of the personality tests I take. The majority of the tests I take tend to be that of the MBTI-type, which I find one of the most insightful personality tests, as well as one where the results I find are generally accurate. For 2011 I've... Continue Reading →
Dvorak Keyboard Layout Sucks
I hoped the header grabbed your attention because it'd sure as hell grab mine. I just read a (really long) article on how the studies/reports behind the Dvorak keyboard layout could just be all part of one hell of a marketing gimmick to help dear old Mr. Dvorak sell his keyboard layout (for the uninitiated,...

Why the Dvorak Keyboard Layout Sucks
I just read a (really long) article on how the studies/reports behind the Dvorak keyboard layout (or simply, the Dvorak layout) could just be all part of one hell of a marketing gimmick to help dear old Mr. Dvorak sell his keyboard layout.

We'd applied for this BTO called Punggol Topaz sometime last month, and got the confirmation this afternoon that... Continue Reading →
New Property Cooling Measures in Singapore
This was certainly pretty unexpected: new property cooling measures so soon after the last one (30 Aug 2010). I don't know to be happy or sad. On the one hand, as someone who's actively looking for a new home I'm happy that this move might bring home prices down (at least to something I can... Continue Reading →
The Performance Appraisal
A little over a year ago I wrote a short piece commemorating my confirmation appraisal, where I wrote about how lucky my company was to have me, and how thankful I was that they hired me when they did. Now that we know each other a little better, I can look back and see if... Continue Reading →
Arsene, my cat.
Doesn't Arsene just look just gorgeous?
Jo’s Birthday Party @ the Shanghai Dolly
The fiancee and I went to Josephine's birthday party last Saturday, which was held at a cafe/bar called "Shanghai Dolly" (to someone who doesn't go out much it seems to be quite a happening place), situated around the Clarke Quay area, right next to Liang Court. Josephine had set a theme for this party, called... Continue Reading →
