A month ago, we had a chance to fly down to Bali, Indonesia and opted to stay at the Novotel in the secluded town of Nusa Dua. We chose Nusa Dua because of its isolation (the point of the trip was R&R, so leaving the town was not something we were planning to do anyway) [...]
Picked up a bottle of Canadian ice apple wine and Taiwanese cask strength whiskey at the duty-free in Taiwan over the weekend. Domaine Pinnacle, Ice Apple Wine (Quebec, Canada) KAVALAN, Cask Strength Single Malt Whiskey (Taiwan) I swear, Polymetrica and his Lovely Package shares on Google Reader are turning me into a package whore. Also, [...]

Totally didn’t happen because one of the inflight movies was Up In The Air, which I had not watched yet (but I really wanted to see it cause I’m a George Clooney fanboy like that). Getting from Incheon was [...]

IMG_0092, originally uploaded by cokematic. Not only does it look like a pack of smokes. It tries to use the fact that it can make you feel more relaxed as a selling point. Then again, this kind of stunt isn’t particularly new.
After some spontaneous planning, I found myself in Singapore! And yes, I finally got the Flickr photostream embeds working (it wont work, however, if you are reading this via an RSS reader like Google Reader or Facebook Notes) What was I doing there? Nothing in particular I guess… I ate alot of food though! (note: [...]
