Broadband-width doubled, is Singtel Mio Good?

Got a letter few days ago that my Singnet broadband speed has been upgraded to 3Mbps from 1.5Mbps without any additional charges, maintaining the usual subscription at about $58/mth. This came very much as a welcome in sharing the bandwidth among the few ummm, 7 computers at home. It's not the first time I've got a free...

Tentative Plans for my New Quad-Core PC

One of my ram modules presumably went kaboom few days ago, as my "workstation" desktop system meter reads 510MB ram instead of 1024MB previously. so I am very much left with 50% of my available capacity with me now. As an analogy there are 2 ways to deal with a faulty car fan belt- you can choose...

Back to campus next week and I am allergic to school work

The Brooks life run and NUS Legs and Paddles was on today, didn't go for it as firstly, I didn't register for it, secondly am not quite the best of condition now (school school school) and lastly I already ran a race yesterday.

Post 2007 Moulmein Intra-Con Run, Farewell Coach Robin

Back from round Island Trekking

Hey hey, I am back from my group round Singapore trekking expedition. Overall the trip was rather manageable with the group generally seeing ourselves traveling the bulk of the journey on foot in the day, stopping to rest at regular breakpoints.
