Thoughts from a Techie

It's been a long time since I last touched this blog. Planning on restarting this with something fairly recent. So there's this IT and consumer electronics show going on every quarter in Singapore. One perfect way to spend my lovely Saturday outside the hostel, even though going there is like going to hell because it's so crowded and noisy... can't move can't hear my favorite music from my lovely iPod! But going anyway since hostel life's getting very restricted and school life is so busy... And every time I go there I never fail to visit this Indian crapware booth.

One beautiful November day last year, as usual I just randomly browse the Internet just to kill the boredom after finishing my O levels. And taylorswift13.org kind of popped out. What a nice fanpage it is. Great Taylor Swift stuff, written by a great guy named Adam. Another glance through the page, and I found this Taylor Talk thingy (by that time it's already in episode 3, before the GRAND interview with Ch...

I wanted some berry juice so I put $1 into the machine. This happened. My good friend wanted to help me so he put another $1 into the machine, hoping that it would help to release the stuck berry juice. This was the result. Finally I decided to put in another $1 hoping to salvage something. Guess what. Persistence is key everyone.
