Great WordPress Plugins!

Warning: Absolute vodka geekery ahead! A new theme at Nanyate?! will always be accompanied with some awesome new plugins. So here are the chosen ones. 1. @Reply with Comment Preview Plugin Since I wanted to keep this design clean, I have reluctantly removed WordPress Thread Comments and WP Paged Comments. It is now replaced with…


Review: LG Viewty KU990R

October 3, 2008 / Opinion, Reviews, Technology / 83 Comments

Update (November 2008) It looks like I have an older firmware. LG has yet to allow people to upgrade their firmware via their website. I will update this post whenever I make my way down to the LG Service Centre at Vivo City. So, I got another cellphone for work purposes. And this was one…


New Theme: Torii (Alpha Release)

After I saw C-class designers copying my previous theme, I felt compelled to come up with something new. So here is something I created in less than a day. It’s nowhere as pretty as my last layout, but I tried my best given my time constraint! This theme is called ‘Torii’, which is the gate…

One morning in the subway, I almost cried. It was the song playing on my mp3 player – a Japanese song called ‘Motherland’ by a half-Korean half-African American singer, Crystal Kay. I’ve had this song on my playlist for more than 5 years, but I’ve never paid any attention to it. I always thought that…

Remember the beautiful Nanyate?! Guitar that looks like my layout? Well, here’s how it sounds with a guitar novice trying too hard to sing and strum at the same time: pretty crappy. But then what can you expect out of a S$99 (USD $70) guitar and someone who hasn’t sung in 5 years? The song…
