Got a Blackberry for work some time back and have been simply loving it. Typing on a QWERTY keyboard, especially on one as great as the Berry’s, makes me much more productive.

I was on a prepaid plan, using the Berry only for data with my old SE phone for calls, which worked well at first [...]

The Invention of Lying

“Thou shalt not lie“, the commandment goes, but have you ever stopped to wonder what the world would be like if no one ever told lies?
The Invention of Lying explores this premise with vigour. Mark Bellison (Ricky Gervais from The Office) lives in an alternate reality where people are genetically unable to [...]

Valentine’s Day

More than a mere date flick, Valentine’s Day realizes it can turn a profit on recycled plotlines as long as you throw enough big names at it (Carol pointed out that the star billings on the poster are in alphabetical order).
That said, it does make for a decent date night. One of those [...]

If you haven’t heard yet, Google recently generated a lot of buzz by purchasing a Superbowl ad slot for a cool US$5mil. It features “Parisian Love“, a long-distance love story told through keywords.
Some speculate that it’s feeling intimidated by Microsoft’s rival search engine, Bing. Google had never booked an ad on TV before; CEO Eric [...]

Yesterday was a fun night out with the Nuffies courtesy of our very nice boss Stewie.
He took us to catch the MACC (Malaysian Association of Chinese Comedians) at PJLA, Jaya One.
First off was dinner at Duck King. We were all hemming and hawing at first because Duck King is known to be great but pricey, [...]

Jackie Chan has always been a favourite of mine, and watching his new movies during the CNY season is a tradition. So I just had to see The Spy Next Door as soon as possible!
I think that his Chinese movies are still a cut above his Western ones, with a few exceptions. I watched Shinjuku Incident [...]

My music playlist hasn’t been updated for ages, barring what I get from friends.
Downloading music from Limewire has been pretty dicey lately.
It’s simply crawling with viruses and seems difficult to connect to in the first place.I did try out Guamuzik (not going to link it) but got pretty pissed when trying to buy my first [...]

I recently bought a 37″ Sony TV for my home so it was time to delve into the world of HD. But playing stuff on it was becoming a hassle – my house literally has hundreds of DVD-Rs lying around already, and a 720p movie usually takes a whole DVD by itself, and there’s no [...]

I haven’t seen a movie as beautiful as Slumdog Millionaire in a while.
There are many reasons to like it. I’m sure you’ll find your own.
I liked how it encompassed all man’s emotions, qualities and flaws. Hope. Anger. Despair. Humour. Passion. Betrayal. Innocence – and, of course, Love.
It was also one of those few movies where [...]

The facts are these…
Pushing Daisies is a fairytale-mystery series centered around Ned (Lee Pace), a piemaker who has the ability to revive the dead with a single touch (but a second touch reverses this, forever); Charlotte “Chuck” (Anna Friel), his childhood beau, and main beneficiary of his ability; Olive (Kristin Chenoweth), his lovelorn employee; and [...]
