I would like to share some bootstrapping ideas and sources of information in the upcoming weeks. Let me kick start with this. Ever needed a video file to be used to accompany your projects? Well, here is one for you. Big Buck Bunny is the second installment from the folks at Blender Studio. Yes, it […]
I am very grateful for being able to complete my studies in school and graduating from University. Thanks to my parents for the funds and also my siblings for being there when I studied abroad. The reason this quote resonate with me is because upon reflection as I navigate through life, I do believe we […]
The week is almost over and a quick dive into my music memory. This catchy tune came out as the debut single by British artist, Daisy Dares You in collaboration with the British rapper Chipmunk. It hit the airwaves in 2010 and was in the top 20s. She did record an album, Rush which unfortunately […]

One of the rare Spanish songs that gained airplay in our radio in Malaysia. This only shows that music is a global language. Out of curiousity I only found out that the title meant The Black Shirt. I can’t make up my mind if La Camisa Negra or Volverte A Ver is my favourite track […]
