After more runs with my "marathon capable" Nike Lunar racer, here is the 2nd installment to my review of this fantastic pair of running shoes.

Ending the Formula 1 2008 season

When Felipe Massa crossed the finishing line last Sunday, he was the 2008 world champion for a moment, till Lewis came and took it from him 38.9 seconds later.

I remembered arriving at RJC in the afternoon for my Cambridge interview, wanting to get there early with time to relax, I took a bus and alighted somewhere around upper Thomson where I took a very short cab trip to RJC itself.

New Balance Real Run 2008 Runners Post-race Comments

As the hot scorching sun dawns upon all runners in the early morning of Sunday, it simply just paints deja-vu of the race last year at the Changi Exhibition center. Was that a Mirage? I can say that is is almost like an exact duplicate of last year's race, which I gave a rating of 8.5/10 for...

Got a new ASUS WL-600G all-in-one network gateway

Got a new ASUS WL-600Gg wireless gateway DSL router today at Sim Lim to replace my old 2wire 1800HG which went "kaput yesterday" after a good old 4-5 years I say. Looking around, I am surprised at how low the prices of networking equipment now. Back before 2000 I remembered paying a premium for home networking equipment....

Received an unexpected email from "Singnet" Today, apparently without a doubt (even without the obvious spelling errors), though this E-mail is obviously a hoax, I do not know how many people are fooled into thinking it is genuine.
