Core i7

I’ve been particularly fidgety and restless in the past few days. So I decided to turn my misguided energy on my poor computer.
Now, in case you didn’t know, I bought myself a monster of a PC last year for my birthday. I’ll post the specs later in this post, but suffice to say, when it was bought, it was one of the most badass rigs out there baby! It still kinda is .
Anyway, I bought a bunch of stuff recently for my PC to spruce it up a bit. Bought an additional 1TB HDD (it’s a Caviar Black bitches…one of the best 7200 rpmers out there) to store all my sitcoms and...
A Riddle
Posted by The big poobah in Featured Articles, Vellapanti on February 16, 2010 | 3 Comments
Swinging elbows welt the night,
Babas make the world seem right.
Wonder filled memories fleet,
amidst emo rants and tweets.
Sunshine pierces through in cones
on houses made of bricks and stones.
Imaginary friends return again
as another week begins.

If I were the CEO of SMRT

…I’d have a disco ball drop through the ceilings of all the cars on all the mrts on Friday evenings. And at that very moment I’d put “Everybody dance now” on the speaker systems.

A More Half-Hearted and Superficial Status Quo
Posted by The big poobah in Featured Articles, Personal shit, Vellapanti on January 26, 2010 | 2 Comments
‘More’ because the previous Status Quo is posted under Private.
January summary-
I went to Rawa islands for NYE with LEAP mates. Was fun. We were alone on the island. Got to snorkel for the first time in my life and it was exhilarating. I felt like a kid who had just learnt how to ride the bike and felt like showing off. Only problem was, I can’t swim even if my life depended on it. So I looked like a fish out of water. Wait…does that metaphor apply if I’m literally in the water? Played pool, drinking games, fed the fish,ate the fish,destroyed a few corals (just kidding!Never...
Lessons Learnt in Brunei
Posted by The big poobah in Featured Articles, Vellapanti on November 17, 2009 | No Comments
Lesson #1 : If the hotel breakfast is supposed to start at 7 a.m., go at 7:20 instead. Unless you have a thing for waiting in front of CLOSED signs.
Lesson #2 : Smoking in the bathtub while listening to your Sleep Playlist is ALWAYS a good idea.
Lesson #3 : Rabbit satay will taste like sweet chicken. And always use your common sense and REFRAIN from ordering Butter Chicken in a Chinese restaurant no matter how hungry you are.
Lesson #4 : It’s NEVER a bad idea to load movies onto your laptop before leaving!
And now…we return to Episode #27 of Great Teacher Onizuka. Hwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Testing the iphone
Posted by The big poobah in Vellapanti on September 6, 2009 | No Comments
This is my first official post using the iPhone and the uber awesome wordpress app. Loving my iPhone so far…there’s just so much I can do with this device!! Kinda like a portable laptop of sorts, only lot more sexier .
Typing has been a slight pain so far, but the auto correct feature is a life saver.
Not much to blog abt…me shifting rooms, so that kinda sucks. Giving up my super sexy master bedroom. Sniff… I really love this room :’(.
Also on another sad note, I sold lithium jr…my iPod nano. I was so attached to it. Hopefully it’s in better hands now.

Weddings and Night Outs
Posted by The big poobah in Friends, Vellapanti on August 9, 2009 | No Comments
I attended my first wedding in Singapore yesterday. James, one of my LEAP mates got married to his secondary school sweetheart at the M Hotel. Although I was rather quieter than usual, I was secretly enjoying myself. Watching two people who’ve been together for 11 years and getting married finally makes you feel a little warm and mushy inside .
I guess they’re very lucky to have found each other when they were so young. James gave a speech in Mandarin later on and even though I couldn’t understand a word of it, it was undoubtedly very emotional.
I also unexpectedly ran into one...

Savings
Posted by The big poobah in Vellapanti on July 31, 2009 | 1 Comment
Over the next few months, a whole lotta cash is gonna be drained from my account. Starting with a new iPhone and ending with a trip to Japan (Ending? Bahaha…I crack myself up).
While tweeting with Niki, I came up with an awesome plan! I spend most of money over the weekends on a variety of random shit. And its normally $100+ per weekend.
So…
Every weekend, I’m gonna withdraw $100 from the ATM. That will be my weekend stipend. I’m gonna use that money for food, drinking, movies,groceries etc etc and not exceed that amount. Also, I wont use my credit card unless absolutely...
