Remote start. Bad. Bad, bad, bad. Call it a feature. I’d like to call it – Tool of Destruction. Like many before today, the remote start feature bundled with some car alarm systems, has caused collateral damage.

Busted ankle. Down but not quite out.
Futsal night ended in a bit of misery (and lots of pain thrown in for good measure!) on Wednesday night. Just a minute after scoring a goal, while in pursuit of the ball in possession of my Spanish opponent, my left ankle got caught in an awkward position when I changed direction. Heard some unpleasant [...]
The end of broadband. Period.
For my personal broadband connection at home, at least, that holds some truth. You see, since having installed, measureable speeds have been unmeasurably way below expectations. I have tolerated, waited (mostly waited, actually) and waited and tolerated and waited since February for some sort of improvement in service. Unfortunately for me, and the thousands of [...]

How long is too long to spend on a piece of art in Photoshop? How [...]

Siem Reap, Cambodia – Day One
I hardly caught any sleep before I had to get up at 5.30am, on a day which usually involves recuperative sleep at the start of the weekend. It was a mad, mad rush the night before to get everything settled – stocking up on supplies, collecting my digicam from Stan, dropping of J’s car at [...]
Back to Civilisation. Reluctantly.
The moment we alighted from the Air Asia Boeing 737, our skin welcomed the cool air. The heat and humidity that we’ve encountered over the past 7 days in Cambodia and Vietnam became mere memories. Almost instantly, we stopped perspiring. Although reluctant to come home and face the dread of the office come Monday, I [...]
