These fellas just love to boogie too. Check out the guy at around 26 seconds! Groooovyyyy….
As I always say… there’s nothing better than a hard night of partying, then just, erm, crashing with a few friends.

So sick, yet so facinating, this isn’t your average Yan Can Cook episode. Just look at all that shit going into that barrel…!

You know, I’ve always wondered (seriously) who does the artwork for the Hed Kandi albums. A bit of Googling led me to Vault 49, a design firm based in New York, which seems to specialize in the wonderfully detailed, free-flowing vector/typography art found on the album covers. Not only that, they count among their clients the likes of Artful Dodger, Levi’s, GQ Magazine, MTV (no surprises here), Nike, Microsoft, Intel, VH1 Soul, Honda and Cingular. Oh, and Greenpeace too.
Their themes range from simple and elegant to downright dirty and industrial, but are altogether beautiful. Check them out here… you can even buy a print or two.

Shawn recently blogged about this YouTube video, which I must say is bloody hilarious. Hence, I will double-post it… because it sure deserves as many viewers as it can get, and after all, what more is the blogosphere than a few million pages leeching content from each other?

Let’s face it: One of the best parts about watching any James Bond movie (Casino Royale ROCKS btw) is the signature stylized intro sequence. Featuring mostly silhouettes of women, bullets, smashing glass and trippy colours, I just can’t get enough of them.
Can you?
P.S. I’m surprised that quite a few people have recently confessed to never having seen a James Bond film. Please. Go catch Casino Royale.

Something burned last night in the west. It flamed and flickered for hours, filling the sky with a warm orangey glow.
When I turned in for the night around 2am, it was still going strong, silhouetting the tops of buildings in a monstrous shadow-play of concrete angles.

It later turned out that the ExxonMobil plant on Jurong Island had one of its processing units short out, and they were forced to burn their excess hydrocarbons. The following morning there was no sign of the fire, only a huge-ass column of smoke rising into the cool, cool dawn.

On my way home from work today I found myself stranded at the bus stop outside Tiong Bahru Plaza in the torrential rain. Rain so heavy, everything beyond 30 m was visible only through a translucent curtain of water. It was also accompanied by occasional gusts of wind which brought the rain in under the shelter, sparing not one of the 30-odd pathetic souls huddled under the bus stop’s dingy roof.
It was in such a condition that I spent the 10-15 minutes waiting for my bus to arrive. When it did, it pulled up at the stop adorned in little spouts of water tumbling gaily from its roof, like some kind of whale breaking the surface of the ocean.
Roughly 10 shivering bodies rushed towards the open door. Those that were slow were forced to cringe in the rain while the slowpokes in front (more on this later) fumbled for their EZ-link cards. I was one of these waiting-in-the-rain people. When I finally got on the bus and tapped my EZ link card, the rain
stopped.
Not dwindle-to-a-drizzle stop, but a dance-in-the-open-in-a-feathered-suit-and-you’ll-still-come-back-fluffy type of stopped. I got off at the next bus stop, barely 60 seconds later, and could walk all the way home without as much as a hand over my head. The auntie in front of me tucked her umbrella away… and that says a lot.
I reached my void deck, and got into the lift.
When I got out, it was raining again. Like it had never stopped before.
Especially when I’m in a hurry.
I always maintain that if you’re as slow - and as wide - as a fucking steamroller, then you jolly well keep left, signal early, and keep your hazard lights on. Stop acting like you’re some kind of cholesterol deposit.

Here’s a really awesome set of photos two guys took while on a road trip from New York to Seattle in a duct-taped car.
Damn. Things like this make me hate this small-ass island… Domestic tourism in Singapore is a joke. Anyway, click on the picture to begin the journey.
(Not safe for dial-up.)

So last week, right, I decided that it was time to get myself a USB 2.0 expansion card.
I went all the way down to Sim Lim, and deep within the claustrophobic confines of Skylet I came across 2 different models:
Model 1: $20, unbranded, plain box with Engrish instructions printed on it.
Model 2: $28, branded (somewhat) with nice printed box showing some pretty happy people.
I decided to go for the $20 model because, after all, a USB card is a USB card, right?
I had no bloody idea how wrong I was.
