Sea monkey diary - day 1

Drew

One thing about working in a tech office is that while there's a lot of cables, motherboards, mobile phones and tech equipment scattered around, there's not much in the way of nature (unless you consider the fungus growing underneath John's telephone cradle). With that in mind, I thought I'd brighten the place up with some pets. You can't really kee [...]

Hello Kitty Pancakes

Drew

This morning I woke up to a pleasant surprise. My darling wife had gotten up early to cook me up some Hello Kitty's for me to eat. No, she's not a chef from Guangdong and "eating Hello Kitty" is not a euphemism for bedroom activities; she made some pancakes using a special Hello Kitty pancake pan that my sister got us as a wedding [...]

Chic Gadgets in an LV

sabrina

Geeky-ness is no longer just a boys' thing. In fact, if you know me personally you'd be surprised how much geekier I can be compared to a guy. But that's not the topic for this entry.

A couple of months ago I read an entry from GamingAngels.com listing a couple of cool gadgets they think women would love to own and somewhat debated on it in my blog. Months later, in this new virtual space, I decided to bring this topic out again and discuss it once more.

This time round instead of [...]

luxury private jet service BJETS, which has been newly designed by BMW
Group DesignworksUSA Singapore Studio. The design was completed this
month, and the luxury jet had engaged BMW to crea [...]

Longer lasting Evolta batteries

Drew

By using new ways to pack a lot of power into an alkaline battery the same size as your regular AA and AAA batties, the Evolta has become the longest lasting battery, and it has a Guiness Book of Recor [...]

Lara Croft coming to Singapore

Drew

There's got to be at least a handful of you guys out there who like the idea of a busty and athletic girl flying through the air with a .45 calibre pistol in each hand, wearing nothing but a tight tank-top, tiny short-shorts and hiking boots. If that's your idea of sexiness, then you're probably [...]

Mad
about Star Wars? Then you should get this Darth Vader sculpted wall
clock measures over six inches tall with glowing red eyes and has a
