Sale! Sale! Sale!

July 29th, 2007

Now I know why the National sport of Singapore is shopping.

Every week, there is a monstrous sale somewhere. As part of the Great Singapore Sale, shops are dropping their prices to rock bottom figures. Shoppers hold on to their dear old money and wait for their favorite shop to make the drop.

Last Saturday, I went to Giordano’s warehouse sale. And a sale it was!

Rice Table

July 25th, 2007

We had a lunch out treat last Friday courtesy of team mates who got promoted. We were treated to Indonesian food somewhere in Orchard (a good 20mins cab ride away from our office).

Deathly Hallows

July 21st, 2007

Today marks the first day for the fans to read the last Harry Potter book. I’m still brushing up with my Order of the Phoenix via an audio book stored in my iPod (read by Stephen Fry mind you).

Here in Singapore, it seems books are selling fast too. But people can still buy ‘em and stocks are not that limited. There are lots of bookstores that I pass by earlier which has the books in piles.
Deathly Hallow

Price tag is 48.05SGD that’s about more or less 1,500 pesos.

I am not in a hurry to buy one as we already ordered one in the Philippines. I’ll just settle for an ebook or an audio book if I can find one. :)

NBA Figures: Pippen & Iverson

July 18th, 2007

For my very first upload of photos using the new 350D, allow me to present some macro shots of the NBA figures that I brought here in Singapore from Manila.

Pippen
Had a hard time here on focusing on Scottie’s face. I can’t quite get nearer to his face without blurring him completely. This is the best I can come up with as of the moment.
Pippen

I love this shot as it focused on the Bulls’ logo on Pippen’s shorts.

In honor of the forthcoming much anticipated Simpons movie, everyone is encouraged to make his own Simpsons avatar here.

I had a hard time making my traits with the limited selection over at the site. This is the best I can come up with. [pen edits with hers too]

Ralph Fiennes

July 16th, 2007

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket Fiennes was reluctant to take the role of Lord Volemort in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005). In a television interview on AMC’s “Sunday Morning Shootout” (2003) (November 20, 2005), he claimed to have been unimpressed with the previous three Harry Potter films. Fiennes was apparently nonplussed at the idea of appearing in the fourth film of a series and stated that he had “never bought into [the] world” of Harry Potter. Family members urged him to take the role while other friends counseled against it. He eventually changed his mind after Goblet of Fire director Mike Newell showed Fiennes preproduction conceptions of what the character of Voldemort might look like: “The little kid in me that likes to dress up and be bad went ‘Yeah! I want to do it!’”.

============================================================

There is something about this man that is uber fascinating. His presence onscreen captivates, whether it’s a role of good guy or bad guy…

July 15th, 2007

Finally bought my own.

After a long conversation with Pen while I was browsing DSLRs at Courts Megastore, I went home with a big smile on my face.
