Year in Review – 2010 – Part 1

Day 10: Osaka – Yodobashi Umeda
Blogged at Kansai Airport! I haven’t taken too much of an interest in shopping itself so far in the three cities we’ve been to this trip. I find merchandise and product pricing to be quite expensive for many goods, and

The obligatory birthday post.:) There was a funny conversation at home just now when I was getting prepped for work. Ling had laid out two presents on the bed; one was a new polo-shirt (I love these!), and the other
Dell XPS Studio 16 – Notes
The Dell XPS Studio 16 notebook I ordered more than a week ago was actually assembled and shipped to Singapore for local dispatch last Thursday evening; at which point it sat in the warehouse for the weekend before actual delivery

The Samsung Galaxy S Android phone from Singtel arrived just within its delivery period yesterday afternoon, and Ling was at home to pick up the package. Curiously, Singapore’s the first country internationally to get the Galaxy. The phone will only
Bye Bye iPhone
Well, it’s been a love-hate relationship with the iPhone 3G I’ve been using for 14 months now. The OS interface is gorgeous, and there continues to be a huge store of apps available for it. But the phone hasn’t been
