The girlfriend and I finally found some time to watch our second movie of the year together last Friday, and we both felt like something that wasn’t too serious, so we settled for Marley And Me (which was showing in Canada when I left in December but only just [...]

u Min of Text 100 send me a copy of the Flight of the Conchords (FotC) CD on behalf of HBO Asia. I wasn’t sure what I would think of the CD, because although I’ve heard of FotC, I didn’t have a clue what their music was about.
After getting back home from Canada and settling [...]

2008 was an awesome year professionally (or as professional as you can get as a student), but I’m not sure the same can be said of my personal life.
The first six months were pretty crappy. Between trying to keep a club on its feet despite some members who were an absolute chore to manage, dealing [...]

Remember the snow we had last week? I thought I’d share how the next morning looked..
The Morning After Snow In Kingston from Daryl Tay on Vimeo.

When I walked to school this morning, it was the usual weather. A little wet, a little chilly, then somewhere around 1:30 in the afternoon, I saw my friend’s MSN nicks updating with various references to snow! It’s 10pm now and the snow is still going on strong!
Here’s a video I took tonight! I’ll try [...]

So first of all, let me say that we (Irini, Leah and myself) didn’t intend to watch this movie. We intended to watch “Burn After Reading”, but because our little cinema here in Kingston is so small, the movies change really fast. So they had five new movies starting today, so apparently “Burn After Reading” [...]
