Racing Chairs For The Office

These chairs are cool. They can either be used for racing around the office or racing for that 5pm deadline.

Noisy!

East Meets West …. And Fell In Love

Tonight was the culmination of that meeting between Rinaz and Cartcart. What a lovely couple they make!

In the twilight of a rather warm December evening, we arrived.

Twilight

It was great to see so many plurkers that I’ve been regularly conversing with on Plurk. People like Hisham, Nelson, Ed, Nicole, Sylvia and Daphne and many others.

Rinaz & Cart's Wedding 12/29

Other than the bride and groom, the ’star’ of the evening were the cupcakes!

Rinaz & Cart's Wedding 2/29

I love them! Rinaz and Cart look so cute …. uhm …. cupcake-ified! :D

Rinaz & Cart's Wedding 7/29

Did I tell you what a lovely couple they make? I wonder what’s itching Cart? Hehe!

Of course, as with most Malay weddings, things can get very lively with the music and guests, all happy to be there.

But it wasn’t keeping us from having a nice conversation in between eating the yummy cupcakes (I had Rinaz. She was sweet! :P).

Rinaz & Cart's Wedding 13/29

Lots of photos were taken and bloggers / plurkers do what we do best ….

Rinaz & Cart's Wedding 23/29

It was a very nice wedding. Nothing spectacularly fancy, just the right touch of elegance and technology (well, that’s what you get when a blogger gets married! :D). The food was yummy too!

I wish Rinaz and Cart many, many happy years together as they embark on the next step of their lives together. I think we’ll all miss them when they leave for Italy soon.

Steampunk Keyboard

It’s a keyboard with a difference. It looks more like a typewriter. It’s cool. It’s steampunk. ‘Nuff said.

World’s First Refrigerated Beach By Versace

Versace will create the world’s first refrigerated beach in Dubai. Known for it’s high desert temperatures in summer, this beach will have heat-absorbing pipes located under the sand with will contain a coolant to absorb heat from the beach’s surface, and will be accompanied by giant wind blowers.

It’s rubbish in my opinion. There are some places in this world not meant for beach lovers, especially in the summer in Dubai. For all its splendid man-made islands, a refrigerated beach to keep the feet of a few wealthy individuals cool so that they can soak in the desert sun while the rest of the planet screams in agony at the huge carbon footprint this beach leaves behind is simply outrageous.

Wonderbra Alert - Don’t Look, Daddy!

I love this ad for Wonderbra. It doesn’t show you the actual product, but the impact it has on someone who’s seen a beautiful woman wearing one is so powerful, it makes the little one want to protect his daddy’s eyes. :D

Flickr Contact List Layout Improved

Flickr Contact List Screenshot

I love the new layout of the contact list page on Flickr. At a glance, I can see who’s been active and who’s not so that I can weed out those ‘dead’ contacts.

Evil Dead, The Musical

I’m not a fan of musicals. I must admit Cats can put me to sleep, but this looks like very interesting, judging from the ad. Blood and gore with a touch of comedy is fun! And with a title like Evil Dead, one can’t go wrong. I wonder if it’ll be staged in Singapore?

Diesel Kid Explorers Promo Ad

Fantasy video featuring well-dressed kids in Diesel gear. Both the video and the kids look good!

Bad Breath Is Unforgiving

If you need to be that far away from someone when you’re talking to them face to face, you’d really need some strong mouthwash!

Hello Kitty Maternity Ward Is Just Insane!

If Sanrio ever decides to go into the healthcare industry, this is probably what the Hello Kitty Hospital would look like. Fortunately, this is just a Hello Kitty-themed maternity ward. Still …. it’s just too …. HAPPY! Urgh!!

Google Reader’s New Layout

Google Reader Screenshot

Google Reader, the ever-present on my browser and also the bane of my existence (I can never get that 1000+ unread count down; following too many blogs!) has just gotten a fresh, new look. The layout looks very clean! Details on the new layout on the official Google Reader blog.

Also undergoing changes is the mobile site for Flickr, which is now even more mobile-friendly. Users can now view videos uploaded to Flickr on the mobile site.

The Camera In The Head

A hilarious French dark comedy animation by Grégory Damour, Maxime Entringer, Anthony Gilles and Allan Sellier. It tells the story of a man who enlists in the army and dies (gunshot wound to the head), but is turned back at the Pearly gates because the ‘camera in his head’ was damaged by the bullet that entered his skull.

So he goes back to earth, tries to die again without getting himself shot in the head, but is unsuccessful. Thus begins attempt after attempt at dying while keeping the ‘camera’ intact.

You’ve got to watch the video for the ending. It’s so unexpected.

Momo Goes To Childcare

At long last the day has finally come. The bonfires lit, drums banged and 152 virgins lined the streets to usher the young boy as he walked down the path to a new, strange world of face paints, yellow putty and tiny chairs that will fell a giant adult.

Everyone got up at an ungodly hour of 6am. No one protested. Drank their milk in silence as Clifford the Red Dog glowed in the semi-darkness of the living room. Bath for both followed soon after, and as the whistle from the ‘really useful engine’ tooted at 7am on the dot, the hour for the boy to make his journey into the unknown began.

He clung happily to his water bottle, backpack with the Disney mouse and freaky dangling legs for good luck on his back, as we made our way to the transporter. The deviation from the normal routine distressed him for a while. He was even more distressed when the initiation ceremony started at the gates of childcare hell but the boy was strong. He bravely stepped forth into the cavernous domain, albeit with a few tears and screams that could wake the dead.

His mothering unit accompaniment slipped away into the bushes and out of sight while he was surveying his new surroundings. Together with the fathering unit driver and Boy Wonder sibling, the three, fled the scene, swooped by and took the Princess, in search of sustenance in the form of a croissandwich-type nom from the King of Burgers.

The boy returned to his homeland at 5pm, weary from the running battles with his minders, his warring day punctuated by one milk feed and a refusal to eat his rations while he was made captive for a few moments. All in all, it was a good first day. He came home happy. He will return to fight another day. 6am at the crack of dawn tomorrow morning is when it all starts again.

Ronaldo In ‘One-On-One’ Situation With Fellow Man U Team-Mate

Christiana Ronaldo goes one-on-one with a fellow Man U team-mate on FIFA 09.

In other news, Ronaldo wishes he was a goalkeeper instead of a winger whinger.

And thank you, Robin van Persie for handing Chelsea’s 2nd loss at the Bridge! Will Glen Ong be a happy puppy on the Morning Express tomorrow?
