Four Christmases was not bad, much better than I thought, but the storyline is pretty predictable once the movie starts. I don’t really think this is a spoiler. The 4 Christmases is derived from the couple parents, both parents are divorce and hence they have to visit each parent house one by one and hence the title 4 Christmases. Some parts are funny, it will make you laugh for sure.

The Day The Earth Stood Still was pretty crap in terms of storyline but the visual effect is fantastic. The only funny part in the show is when Keanu Reeves speaks Mandarin! I seriously don’t understand most of the Mandarin words that he speaks. lol

Here is my December 2008 WordPress plugins update containing all my 15 WordPress plugins update and 1 new WordPress plugin. All of them should work on WordPress 2.7 as I did not test them on any WordPress version below that.

I am introducing a new plugin called WP-CommentNavi which basically paginate your comments similar to how WP-PageNavi paginate your posts. I am also retiring WP-Sticky as WordPress 2.7 has a sticky post feature built in. WP-Sticky 2.31 WILL NOT work on WordPress 2.7 due to a conflict function “is_sticky”. If you renamed that function to “is_sticky2” or something else, it should work, but as usual I did not test it.

I have upgraded lesterchan.net to WordPress 2.7 alongside with all my updated plugins. Please let me know if you find any bugs on this site by dropping me an email or posting it in the comments. Thanks a lot =)

The update is smooth and it only takes about 30 minutes. Not much compatibility issue here except I have to uninstall my WP-Sticky as WordPress 2.7 has already a sticky post feature built in.

WordPress 2.7 has been released after being delayed for about a week.

Here are some of the features according to the blog post:

Nike open its largest Nike Flagship store in Southeast Asia right here in Singapore. It is located on second and third floor of Wisma Atria Shopping Centre which is in Orchard Road, Singapore. The largest Nike store in SEA used to be in Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

They have a Nike ID Studio in the store which provides T-Shirt customization and sells some exclusive range like Metallic Windrunners jackets.
