Hiatus

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

The past 2 weeks have been busy, fun, tumulous and relaxing (probably in that order). Nope, this site of mine still has hope; it’s just on hiatus for now. Think of the last post as the season finale.
Onwards to Season 2 of The Singaporean Gamer. Probably should now be called The Married Singaporean Gamer. [...]

A New Beginning

Saturday, June 6th, 2009

“I do take Nuraishah Bte Abdullah as my lawfully wedded wife with the dowry as stated.”
In one breath saying those words, I was bonded, by God and state, with my girlfriend of nine years in holy matrimony.
Phew! That wasn’t so bad, now was it?
I have at last fulfilled one of my life’s goals. [...]

Now That Mother’s Day Is Over, Can We Go Back To Insulting Our Mamas Now?

Monday, May 11th, 2009

Yo’ mama’s so fat, she can be seen from the moon.
Yo’ mama’s so dumb, she hid her computer mouse from the cat.
Yo’ mama’s so dumb, she thought an iMac is a new burger at MacDonald’s.
Yo’ mama’s so dumb, she makes Homer Simpson look like a Nobel Prize winner.
Yo’ mama’s so dumb, she invented a wind-powered [...]

Do Singaporeans Perversely Enjoy Shaming Others?

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Today is Wednesday, which means that there will be a copy of Digital Life included with The Straits Times. I’m really not a big fan of this, but to be brutally honest, I love to read it for comedic value. Tech news and articles that are a week old, considered ancient by web standards, are [...]

Best April Fools’ Joke Ever

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

This has got to be the best April Fools’ prank I have read about. Yes, even better than Opera web browser’s new Face Gestures feature.
Improv Everywhere is, in my opinion, the greatest prank organizers in the world. They have staged various events, from the MP3 experiments to high-five-ing people riding up the escalator. They’re usually [...]

Is Earth Hour A Sham?

Friday, March 27th, 2009

Let me proclaim here: I am not going to turn everything off for one hour at 8.30pm on 28th March 2009.

I don’t think that turning your lights off for one hour will save the Earth. What is the point? Will 1 hour’s worth of electricity save the rainforests, prevent poison spewing from factories or suddenly [...]

Down With Stomach Flu

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

I went to the office yesterday with body aches and feverish symptoms. I couldn’t concentrate so went to the doc to get 1 day medical cert.
This morning, I thought I was better, but I lost my sense of taste, I felt like puking and I couldn’t eat breakfast as I had no appetite. Back to [...]

Good Problems To Have

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

I have had one hell of a rollercoaster ride week last week. First, it was a normal plateau with nice gentle. Suddenly it dipped an impressive pi/2, before swooping upwards at the same angle. A reverse square pulse if you will.
Reflecting back today, of course, it is just another one of life’s most precious lessons.
Of [...]

Rediscovered: My Long Lost Tumblr Blog

Monday, March 9th, 2009

Everytime I hear or see some cool new thing on the web, I just got to try it out. Not sure why. Web junkie? Just like my About Me page says, everytime you see “Shmutt” as a user somewhere, that’s probably me.
I didn’t know I had an account on Multiply. I have absolutely no idea [...]

PURE AWESOMENESS!!
Going to be occupied for quite a while now. Not surprised [...]
