I haven’t been in the workforce all that long - at least not as long as my parents have, and they’re still adamant on not retiring so soon. But I don’t think I need to be working for someone else any longer to realize that there’s no such thing as [...]

ipod clickwheel defect
Originally uploaded by jaremfan.

I found this surprising - a clickwheel that was installed 90 degrees off its intended position. This is a 80gb ipod classic. The clickwheel works as was intended (the << button operates the menu function, etc.), just that the placement was incorrect.
I found it at a Apple reseller [...]

I found a really good Thai restaurant in PJ in Section 5, near PJ Old Town and Jalan Gasing. It’s right behind the park (that hosts a bird event every weekend) that’s adjacent to the Templer roundabout . There weren’t many reviews on it, so I decided [...]

Dad bought me a lovely Canon 400D body for my birthday recently (Thanks, Pa!).
I’ve been shooting quite randomly - at plates of sushi, ceiling lamps, people, friends. I really like it. It’s a lot more 21st century than the Nikon FM that I loaned from my dad years ago.
I’m [...]

I must thank my wife for organizing and paying for a weekend trip up to Genting Highlands. Even though we didn’t play the rides and gamble our life savings away, we still had a lot of fun.
It was dearly misty up there, and she seemed to like that [...]

I am a product of lifelong learning. Perhaps I’m addicted to it. I find it hard to sit through 20 Simpsons episides all at once, but I can spend hours trailing through Wikipedia articles.
Recently I’ve been depressed over a lot of things - [...]

There seems to be no end to busy-ness for me. But I should stop saying that. Every week has been different, each with its own surprises.
I really can’t remember anything before Wednesday. All I know is that on Wednesday, we left office straight after work [...]

I’m quite a fan of Bangkok, Thailand. I must make mention one of its derivatives - Black Canyon Coffee, which has recently appeared in some Klang Valley spots. I just got back from the one at Summit, USJ, with LL.
She reported the pad thai isn’t as good as the [...]

I’m managing a mood that’s half empty this weekend - I’m already groaning the one day left of this ‘long’ holiday.
