I had a few days to kill in London before my Scotland trip, and killing time in London is not difficult at all. Having some fond memories of Maritime Greenwich, I decided to revisit it. It happened to be one of the most perfect days weather-wise of my three-week stay, but the one place I […]

Revisiting Shakespeare’s town
Following Niklas’s advice of being an exhibitionist — but mostly after the scare of nearly losing all my photos — I finally kicked my lazy butt into putting up my Britain pics. No, don’t worry, I will not subject the public at large to every last one of those 1,396 photos. Instead, what will follow […]

1,396: The price paid
[EDIT:The title of this post no longer holds good. I have since recovered my 1,396 photos by using a file undelete software on the SD card of the camera. I thoroughly recommend Glary Utilities for general computer-related housekeeping.] Does anyone really come out of a system crash unscathed? I believe not, but there are a […]
Remembering Hamlet
The scene was a modern-day royal court when he walked out on stage for the first time — a tall, spare figure sharply dressed in a black suit, dark hair tightly slicked back, expression sombre. He stood, silent and upright, in one corner of the stage, a champagne glass in hand, seemingly oblivious to the […]
Bitten by Britain 2
The Wales Update Well, Cardiff, as fans will know, is the Doctor Who city, so no surprise that my day tour was a total fangirl trip! Photos later, but in short, I did check out the Millennium Centre and Roald Dahl Plass from “Boom Town” — and subsequently other — Doctor Who episodes, and all […]
Bitten by Britain?
(All right, that’s a terrible one, but heck, I’m having too much fun to care!) So, here’s a (very) quick round-up of the highlights of my Great British (ha ha!) trip so far. This is going to be written very quickly, so excuse any typos, etc. England Without doubt this has to be Hamlet performed […]
What’s up Doc?
Niklas pointed out to me the other day that I hadn’t updated in a while. Well, guilty on that count, but I have been feeling strangely blog-dry lately. Anyhow, since “writing” seems to be the flavour of the season right now, here’s a little look into what I’ve been working on. Kale’s Folly (working title): […]

Updating Through Flock
This update is being done through the Flock 2 Beta blog editor. For the uninitiated, Flock is more than just a plain old Web browser. If social networking is your sort of thing, this intriguing application is certainly worth a look at. With its integrated blogging, media sharing and “people” services, it should keep any […]
David Tennant and Bollywood
…the twain shall never meet. And here’s why. Most people know of the song-and-dance routines that are the staple of Indian cinema. Well, the following clip is not Bollywood, but a BBC TV series starring David Tennant and Sarah Parish called Blackpool. It featured a number of songs and a few dance-ish routines. As you […]
I want to believe
Funny, the term “fandom” never entered my thoughts much until Kate came up with it for a blogging subject. While, fandom may simply be described as the state of being a fan, in one very apt definition I found it is described as a “semiotic productivity is when fans use their object of fandom to […]
