YUI Yoshioka – My New Idol

May 5, 2009 / Dance and Music

Sep 1 ‘09 Update – Replaced with a working video! People who know me in person, have read my blog long enough or have browsed through my Last.FM will probably notice this about me: I absolutely hate rock music. Aside from Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, I have no other rock song on my iTunes playlist of 3,000…



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 into…

VROOM! Peeeeeewww! VrmmmmMMMMM! VrmmmmMMMMM! That’s all I’m hearing right now. My company recently sent me to the Singapore F1 Grand Prix this week to be a receptionist/sales person at the Media Centre.

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 it…



Girl with a Guitar

September 2, 2008 / Daily Life

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 is…



A Day in Photos

May 13, 2008 / Daily Life, Site Updates

Prologue Sorry for being away from the blog scene the past week. I’ve been extremely busy preparing for my return to Singapore next week; renting out my room, packing up, buying last minute stuff has been incredibly time-consuming and taxing. I’ll be blogging erratically for the next 2 weeks. Hopefully, by then I think I’ll be…
