Sharpion's Dream

Finally managed to learn how to do this silly cube thing...it seems to be the fad now with the younger kids. My little cousins can all do it and thats wat inspired me to as well. So I went to get one (really cheap) and studied some tutorials on the net. So after about 3 hours (yes im a bit slow), I managed to get it :) Its pretty much memorizing some algorithms and using your own common sense. I'm trying to make all algorithms common sense but think i'm going to take a bit of a break from that first.

Mantis Mask Full face mask for diving. Really cool, tried it on my latest trip (thanks Eric!). Allows you to breathe through your nose underwater. Saves quite a lot of air, better for equalization and sinuses too. Only big downside is the flexibility loss on the surface. Not to mention all kinds of people being attracted to it. Roomba 530 Finally bought this baby...have been deliberating for months due to its excessively high price. Tried buying it from overseas but there was lack of support. Warranty and ease of mind were the 2 biggest tipping factors as well too. Hopefully this baby will take out a lot of our housework...not to mention, ain't it cool to have a robot!

Our Lady Peace - We Are All Innocent My favourite parts are: "And while he wishes he could escape this But it all seems so contagious Not to be yourself and faceless And a song that has no soul I remember feeling low I remember losing hope And I remember all the feelings and the day they stopped" More comments later, I'm outta time!

Recently I have been wondering a lot on whether there is a logical basis for why people like/dislike certain things. Like, is there are certain flavour that ALL humans like? A certain colour? Melody? etc. Can it be that we are hardwired somehow internally to like/dislike certain things? I mean, in nature, RED is used as a warning sign etc. and certain smells are automatically terrible for all species. Is 'Best' just a vote and the majority wins? Thanks to everyone who have shared their experiences with me. In the end, I'll go with this one: My good professor friend (who specializes in culture) has shared her thoughts with me. She believes its a vote and the majority wins HOWEVER, there are very established patterns that are hard to dispute and are formed along cultural lines; cultural determinism. So there...

Yes I have finally bought it! It is really awesome and fantastic and I'm just wondering why I waited so long to get it. One point to note is that you HAVE to get a HDMI cable (assuming you have a HD TV la) coz the system didn't come with it. Those things range from $20 - $500 (no kidding!) so choose wisely. I can't really enjoy the FULL FULL HD experience coz I'm only on like HD Ready and not TRUE HD but its already like 100 times better. I guess I won't be able to really tell the difference so nevermind la! Still waiting for my blu-ray discs to come from Amazon so till then, can only see the HD power through the games. The 2 games you MUST get are: - Metal Gear Solid 4: The most fantastic game I've played in a long long time. The graphics are jaw dropping (of course you need HD) - Grand Theft Auto 4: Pretty much the same thing as the previous 3 but just better done. Still a must have. - Wish List: Ratchet and Clank, Final Fantasy 13

Wanted Really recommend this movie! It was simply awesome and I really loved it! Action packed with super exaggerated scenes. I think its very well directed with super cool subtle special effects. Good acting - Angelina was really cool in this one IMO (heard she used this show to help her handle the death of her mom) and James McAvoy is cool too! The story line is really good as well, not like those predictable shows, everything fits well too. WATCH WATCH!! Hancock Well I like Will Smith but this show just didn't do it for me. Started out good but after the middle of the show, it suddenly turned 180 degrees. Didn't know what was happening after that. Interesting twist of story with good acting from great actors. Nice action scenes and special effects but overall I think it was just below my expectations. The Incredible Hulk Well, so so la. Preferred it much more than the 1st one but really quite Duh to me. The ending scene is quite cool - hints at a lot more to come.
