Christmas Is Going To The Dogs

Brought to you by StarHub.

Get off your sled and go to bed, don't you ever tire? Throw a bone I'm finally home, curled up by the fire. Snow is falling from the sky, like ashes from an urn. Sweet dreams my little one, now it's my turn. Well Christmas is going to the dogs. We'd rather have chew toys than yule logs. And things aren't looking very good, it's true. So i'll just lay here and chew.

unZune

hi.

for all those enamoured with the Microsoft Zune because of its 'huge, high-resolution widescreen' that will 'kick the iPod video and Apple's sorry asses so bad', could you once and for all note that:

1 - it is not a widescreen. it is a standard 4:3 aspect ratio screen, just like the iPod with video. just because it looks wider when you turn it around sideways to watch video and view photos doess not make it a widescreen. it's because things tend to look wider in their horizontal orientations than their vertical ones.
2 - it is not of a higher resolution that the iPod. it has the same 320 by 240 pixel resolution, but is a few centimeters larger than the iPod with video's screen, making it a coarser display.
3 - that's all.

no love,

'Time to shower!'

it's two AM, and my sister is showering for the first time in over twenty-four hours. ew.

cooked this just now.


last Friday i accomplished a lot. i:

-got my DKNY chronograph fixed,
-collected my replacement identity card,
-extended the validity of my passport,
-bought cake mix and frosting at the Paragon Marketplace,
-bought a 8" by 8" cake pan at the Paragon Marketplace,
-bought a set of measuring cups, whisks, mixing bowls, a rubber spatula, a lovely grey plate and oven mitt at Ikea.

all this cost me less than fifty dollars, but sadly is more or less the last of my spending money. but. whatever makes you happy, right? and the cake's delicious.

shameless fraternity

Dear Borneo Motors and Toyota Motor Corporation,

You really are shameless. Placing an ad for the new Toyota Camry and new Lexus LS430 one right after the other, when they are more or less fraternal twins. Or, to be less nice, twins with one having Down's. 

Can we be a bit more original with our car designs? Can we at least have some level of seperation between the advertising of your near identical pseudo-luxury cars and near-luxury cars?

No Love,
Aaron

no balls, no backbone

Dear Candy Empire,

I commend you for daring to put up that sign in the first place. However I shall now have to boycott you because you haven't the balls to leave it up. Worse, you replace it with a sign that goes completely against what the original sign said. Pathetically, you now take even that second sign down because people are making fun of it, and threatening you.

No Love,
Aaron

little boxes

i got baked yesterday.

ServiceOne

Dear Singapore,

I hope your Motorola phone doesn't break any time soon.

No Love,
Aaron

what a difference a month makes

my father called me to wish me a happy birthday today.

speechless, aren't you?

the devil wears moleskine, part six

yes. six.

and why are there people buying moleskines and faux-moleskines left and right? seriously? MUJI even sells a faux-moleskine cahier for seven-sixty. YES. SEVEN-SIXTY. what a rip-off.

otherwise the new MUJI at The Paragon is lovely.
