Samsung YP-K3 Review

My first review here, so please be gentle with my skills; it's a home-made, unprofessional effort. In summary, the Samsung YP-K3's sound equaliser is a great feature, its sound quality clearly beats the iPod, and the interface impresses too.

Without WWW

I've finally taken time to drop the www, redirecting and updating my links to reflect the change. I'll update the links in my WordPress plugins when I release their updates after WordPress 2.3 arrives in September 2007.

The Year of Jacky Cheung World Tour 07

I went to the Singapore Indoor Stadium for The Year of Jacky Cheung World Tour 07. I arrived about two hours before the 8pm start and found plenty of parking, monitoring the carpark to gauge how it filled up.

Die Hard 4.0

I caught Die Hard 4.0 on Saturday, a 150-minute film. It was slightly above average, as expected an action-packed affair with action almost throughout. Maggie Q only lasts halfway through, perhaps because she's Asian and this is a Hollywood film.

Transformers

I'm not really a Transformers cartoon fan; I didn't watch much of it. But I love the movie, the best I've seen since Lord of the Rings. The CGI was fantastic, the storyline good, and the action almost constant.
