F1 Singapore
Singapore-Marina-Bay-Evening-Skyline-Grand-Prix-F1-Race-2008, originally uploaded by bernardoh. The Singapore Formula One Grand Prix this weekend is looking to be quite a spectacular event. I’m sure the atmosphere will be great. I wish I bought some tickets now for the first ever night race in F1 history. Fingers crossed for little Flippy and the Ferrari team.
New screen
I bought myself a Benq 22″ LCD display today. I needed an upgrade to my geek corner. Since it’s so big, I had to make a new desk using a shelf on top of my coffee table. Seems to work quite well I think. I was never a fan of the small desk that was … Continue reading
Phones for me!
We got new cellphones today! Wahey. I said the battery on my phone didn’t last more than half a day and so our boss got us new phones but that was after another colleague commented that it also didn’t have any English: OK! It really wasn’t that bad and I was forced to learn Japanese, … Continue reading
Fish head, sickness and iPod touch
Last Friday I woke up with a sore throat. After a few hours at work I started getting all sweaty and felt a fever coming on. During lunch time, we tried a new restaurant. None of us could read the Japanese menu, so I did a lucky dip approach. This is what I got: It … Continue reading

Here’s some other expensive … Continue reading
YouTube
To move with the times I will try and add videos as well as zillions of pics to my website. So here I am testing out YouTube:
robertliu.com Release 3
As I write this new entry, my site is only half complete. But I am quite impressed with the progress I have made in the past week – hand coded the template using pure CSS, migrated my old blogs into this site and lots of other tweaks, as well as a backend upgrade to Mambo … Continue reading
New Host
Welcome back to a completely unchanged* site. I’ve switched web hosting companies so I’m now hosted on 4uHosting.co.uk. The reason I switched was not because my old host tried to charge me 5 times for the same service (they were nice after a few of my complaints and even upgraded me) but because 4uHosting offers … Continue reading
Flickr
A sneak preview of what’s to come for my new website – Flickr (see little flash animation on left right somewhere). For those that don’t know, Flickr is an online photo management facility. For only $2/month you can basically store an unlimited number of photos (2Gb upload limit/month – which is plenty). They also have … Continue reading
