Rubik's Cubick Maketh Me Stupid


I'm sure there's a proper, less hair-extracting way to play with this, at the moment, I have neither the spare mental capacity nor the patience to find out. I spent an amount tantamount to what could have been a good meal to purchase one of these and I'm already giving up on it on Day 2. Great motivational guru I'll make one day, huh?

Anyone care to try? It's a dinosaur of a game, where nowadays, strategy and quick-thinking means Starcraft and 3D snake, but at least it helps you kill time when the electricity gets cut off. Nothing like going back to basics when you wanna stress yourself out the old-fashion way.

Beg, Borrow or Steal Your Way to Greater Heights


I'd been extremely busy lately. Travelling. Which explains my absence and lack of contribution to this blog. But I'm back. And since it's still fresh in my mind, I might as well review it. Travelling by Thai Airways wasn't really what I had expected it to be. It was surprisingly pleasant, given the long-haul flight I was on. The cabin crew was friendly, to a point of getting those few of us who sat a few rows behind that curtain which separates us from Business class, some goodies from Business class! We got Business class lamb chop cooked to perfection (I can't believe I'm reviewing airplane food), when the rest of economy had to live with chicken or fish that looked more like canteen grub. We also had left over champagne from... you guessed it, Business class.

This is starting to sound really pathetic, but I dare say, should you get onto a plane next time, try to get seats closest to that Business class curtain. You may just be as lucky as I was and get some scraps and leftovers thrown at you like you're some desperate stray dog.
