Yuck!

OK. I am going to do a food review.
Why am I worthy to do one? Well, simply because I am a paying customer.
First, the premise. Everyone needs that. At 630pm, I left church in the middle of the 777 service (no reference to Boeing) with LL to fetch my [...]

“I used to cycle a lot” was a comment I frequently used when people asked me what sports I was into.
Basically, I’m not into sports. I don’t have a favorite football club, I only just recently found out who Lewis Hamilton is, and I only root for the [...]

Apple TV top and front
Originally uploaded by niallkennedy.

I’ve been toying around with an appleTV, which was acquired at my company recently for showcase demo purposes. It’s pretty slick, if you don’t think too hard - because you start to realize quickly that you can quickly reproduce a lot of functionality like that on [...]

Good Night!

I just got upgraded to an executive room for free! Apparently, my extremely late check in (almost 12am) was a timely arrival for an open slot for this corporate teaser.
The room is much bigger and has more stuff in it - microwave, plasma TV, a proper coffee maker (filter type), a [...]

I’m sitting at a dining table at the B&B I checked into, waiting for my breakfast - eggs benedict. I’ve got a few more days left until I return home. I’ve got a few more things left to do, a few more people to see, a few more things to buy.
The trip has been an [...]

I’ll be away in the UK for a week again, on another work assignment. I’m sort of getting used to it. Somehow, I’m not so drawn to the place like I’m drawn to Chicago. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s been around way longer than I could possibly imagine.
UK folks like to [...]

The car is smaller than I thought… at least from the inside.
From the back, I could see the “start button”, the well-manicured dashboard, feel the almost-emaculate leather stitching, and driver-focussed positioning of the gear knob and steering wheel… quite overwhelming, really.
It’s almost over-engineered. You’d have to spend a good full year [...]

I’m listening to “Hanging on for Hope” by the New Amsterdams. After the Get Up Kids disbanded in 2005, I searched hard for a replacement but nothing came close, until the New Amsterdams.
It was different, but they’ve evolved over the two years, and [...]

Do Your Work!!!

My company took part in this year’s SMIDEX exhibition, as we did the last year. The team was rushing to put things together, and we’ve had our share of arguments, frustrations, sweat and complications.
One of the biggest headaches we had was how not to have a repeat event of last [...]

I’ve been at KLCC for an event these few days, and traffic in KL proper is horrible during rush hour.
I’m not particularly brilliant at navigating KL’s roads at 6.30 in the evening, but I gambled on the Tunku Abdul Rahman flyover and Sungai Besi’s spanking new SMART tunnel.
The tunnel is supposed [...]
