Most of the internet has probably already talked about this, but I was really blown away by the finale. My favourite moments, in no particular order:
Sayid kicking ass with Keamy
Sun’s reaction in the chopper
Sawyer’s choice in the chopper
Kate’s dream sequence
The revelation of who’s in the coffin from the end of season three.
Desmond & Penny
What I [...]

So here’s the missing pieces of the story after the buffet “ran out” and before Guitar Hero started. I was looking through the shots and this segment of the night really produced some wonderful shots (or so I think) due to a combination of the surroundings (Arab Street really has a charm around it) and [...]

After the fiasco at Ambrosia and dinner later (more on that tomorrow), it was proposed that since we were in the east, we should go to Reuben’s place and play with his Xbox 360. As a brand new Guitar Sidekick, I didn’t need much convincing even though I stay at the opposite end of Singapore.
Oddly [...]

Last Saturday (an exhausting day after Social Media Breakfast), I met the guys for a belated birthday celebration for Rubin. Being his birthday, he got to chose the place and led us to Ambrosia, 19 Baghdad Street because of its’ $11 buffet.
So we got there and sat upstairs when a waiter came and said “Sir [...]

I haven’t really talked about this so far, but I’m heading up to Queens University in Kingston, Ontario on August 24th for exchange. I originally wanted to leave on the 22nd of August so I could celebrate my birthday here, and then land on the 22nd and celebrate it again, but oh well, no seats.
So [...]

So over the long weekend 8 of us from the Scout unit headed up to Yen Chee’s house in Johor Bahru to have a retreat and go into spiritual meditation and plan for the upcoming camp…
No actually we went to play Xbox 360 till 5am in the morning and promptly resumed at 11am.
And of course [...]

This post was going to be all praise for the Mandarin Oriental hotel, until they blew it literally at the last two minutes of my visit there.
I was at an informal discussion at the hotel. I hadn’t been there prior to their renovation and I must say the place is really swanky. On entering the [...]

I’ve noticed a jump in blog traffic to my blog posts regarding SMU “Are You Sure You Want To Come To SMU? Think Carefully” and “At Least One Professor Thinks SMU Has Lost The Plot Too“. I suppose it’s because now’s the time when people are getting their acceptance to one or more universities and [...]

Finally managed to catch Speed Racer with Reuben and Marcus tonight after scouts and boy was it a blast! I’ve never had any interaction with Speed Racer before, so this was the first time.
First I have to say, the Wachowski brothers know how to take a property and make it theirs. The vibrant colours are [...]

You might remember me mentioning Reuben a couple of times on this blog. We’ve been friends via scouts since sec 1, and are both voluntary leaders in scouts today. (Not to mention Team Fortress 2 players virtually every other night).
So the big news is: Reuben is getting married!
It’s quite overwhelming and crazy at the same [...]
