Time has changed…

Leanne — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 07:48:26 +0000

I have decided to change my blog (I’ll give you more details in a minute). The reason I started this blog back in 2005 was to let my friends in Malaysia catch up on what I had been doing, instead of bombarding them with emails. But sadly, I have noticed the decline in visitor to …

Costco Canberra Report

MangaGal — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 12:40:29 +0000

I have been telling people about my trip to Costco last weekend. Many of them have been dying to know how it went. One of the most common questions I get asked is “Is it worth $60/year membership?”. Well, this post should give you some ideas if it’s worth or not. First thing you would …

Citibank Australia has the worst customer service

MangaGal — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 08:25:59 +0000

I have relied on their poor customer service in finding a solution for me to enjoy a positive internet banking experience and today marks the end of my patience for them. I have made formal complaints to them twice in the past 1.5 years that I have been experiencing problems viewing my bank statements on …

Red Dead Redemption

Well, I’ve had this game in my drawer for a long while. Finally started playing it again after putting it off for months. Man, after having played LA Noire, this game feels familiar. They are made by the same people. My first impression of Red Dead Redemption (RDR) was it’s so cool. I can roam …

PS3 hard drive upgrade

MangaGal — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 08:08:33 +0000

I have been meaning to upgrade the hard drive for my PS3 slim 120G model for a while. So the other day I finally decided that I should go ahead and do it. I ordered a Western Digital Scorpion Blue 500GB 2.5″ SATA hard drive last week and it came a few days after. I …

Transformers 3: A quick review

MangaGal — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 12:13:59 +0000

Wow! What can I say? I’ve been a Transformers fan for a while. I saw both 1st and 2nd movies. So when the 3rd came out, I was thrilled to see it, and wow how good was it?! I heard a review over the radio and apparently the 3rd sequel has: “what all action films …

Microsoft keyboard it is.

MangaGal — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 05:40:22 +0000

Well, finally my hunt for a non-Apple keyboard that works with Mac is over today. I didn’t even consider Microsoft keyboards because last time I bought a desktop combo, they died after just 1 week. I got really disappointed and never bought Microsoft input devices again. That was about 8-9 years ago. So instead I …

The hunt continues…

MangaGal — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 12:41:42 +0000

About 3 months ago, I started noticing my Apple wireless keyboard has slow response time and often doesn’t connect (via bluetooth) at startup. I thought there may be a fix or firmware update online. But after searching for so long, I can’t find a solution. So I thought, I will get a new keyboard instead. …

L.A.Noire

MangaGal — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 03:31:45 +0000

Well, it’s been cold lately in Canberra so I have been staying in. I bought this game called L.A.Noire. It was one of those games that is visually stunning but what makes it so special is this game features 400 actors. It’s so freaky to see the characters in the game to be so life-like. …

Viewing PDF in Safari 5

MangaGal — Sun, 22 May 2011 05:06:45 +0000

OK, I recently updated all my software on my Macbook Pro running Mac OSX 10.6 and realised that my Safari v5.0.5 no longer can view PDF in the browser. I was a bit annoyed because my bank has specifically set up their system to only allow me to view my bank statement in the browser. …
