Cheers

“Wouldn’t you like to get away
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name
And they’re always glad you came…”

Now I want a beer and a chat.

Starting line

I walked outside tonight after a 16 hour work day. Stood in the Raffles Place plaza and watched the bright lights from the F1 track reflect off the buildings.

A plastic bowl full of hokkien mee in my bag, I thought about how things have changed. I was happy, looking forward to home and the comforts of a quiet night.

I heard the race cars roar over the Fullerton bridge. It’s nice to be part of something bigger.

500 Days of Summer

My type of movie.

I haven’t been on a date in a long time. I wonder if this would be a good first-date flick.  Probably not.

Courier

Gizmodo has details on a tablet from Microsoft Research.

Go to their site and watch the video.  Am excited to hear that it is in “late prototype” stage.

Zune HD

Zune HD has been released in the US.  I am going to put this on the must-buy list next time I return home.

Gizmodo declares it the “best touchscreen PMP on the market.”

For us international folks, we will have to content ourselves in the meanwhile with the Zune software.

Michael Jordan

Michael Jordan was officially inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.  This catches absolutely no one by surprise.

He really was beauty-in-motion on the basketball court.

Languid rainy sky
B-grade movies on TV
The sofa beckons
