E72′s Rookie
Published by Sylvia Giacinta June 21st, 2010 in IGotPaidForThis and my geeky bits. 0 CommentsIn case you didn’t know, I actually use a Nokia E72 now. I bought it for myself, as my own 21st birthday present. And I have nothing but good things to say about it! Firstly, I love how elegant it looks. Countless people (usually Indonesians) have taunted me with questions “Why didn’t you buy a [...]

Below is only the thumbnail of the comic (original [...]

Almost every time I sit down in a restaurant, or simply ordering food at hawker centres, the server/hawker will only ask “Yes, order?”. Sometimes there is not even a question. They will only [...]
Sandisk Cruzer Blade – fits in your wallet
Published by Sylvia Giacinta April 7th, 2010 in my geeky bits. 7 CommentsMy new thumbdrive is so small and thin I put it in my wallet. Really. Cost me SGD 20 for 4 GB of storage. Good deal, I think. I mean, look at how pretty it is. I was actually walking around Challenger Funan to look for a webcam for my siblings, but I saw this [...]

It would talk about my feelings. About my takeaways. About how I treasure the opportunities I have managed to attain. About how all my previous struggles had been worth it. But seriously? I [...]
Some days ago I wrote to my fellow choristers that people can help them sing better by singing the notes to them, giving tips and tricks for better sound production, making recordings/midi files to listen to, but no one can magically transform them into a songbird overnight.
