Shutdown Day 24th March 2007

24th March is shutdown day folks. Just like "don't drive your car day" or "no smoking day" or "kill the girbills in the trash day", try to do as the name suggests ya? Like not turning on your desktop/laptop without the mouth-foaming withdrawal symptoms. 24th march is the date to mark on the calendar falling on a...

Running update, Revised Tiong Bahru Park Runs

It's 2007 a new running year and new resolutions to meet as well. With that, it's time to revise the 2006 usual running patterns. 2007 Revised Tiong Bahru Running Route My usual favorite bi-weekly running route will have a revised distance, so not only make my lap and distance counts easier but it will be more accurate to do...

Post 2007 CNY

Chinese New Year is rather short this year, but very much more enjoyable than last year. Namely because it's the first time in about 5 years where all our families come together under one roof at my grandma's place, lunch and dinner included. Previously one of my Uncles kinda like went down in a family contractor business....

Toshiba g900, Samsung f520, f700, i-Mate Ultimate at 3GSM

As part of the new phones announced at 3GSM in Barcelona, here are few of the few interesting phones which should be coming out within 1 or 2 quarters time. HTC and Nokia didn't really steal the show though, as most the products on show are actually announced products ages ago. But Toshiba also came out with...

Juggling work, play and Training, KL Marathon

Work had definitely eaten not only my personal time but much of my usual run and training schedules - I had not been running regularly, (clocking awfully low week millage in the process) nor attending track training in school last few weeks. Furthermore, if it's not hitting my personal weekly distance requirement of 30km, it's beating...

First Week of Internshp (ITP)

Hello I am Shaun, just like Assok the intern in the comic Dilbert, I am the lowest possible life form in the corporate ladder - having the profound ability to "not know anything" and the "noob-rights" to hang around like a complete idiot. ITP this holidays is a unique one, being only 9 weeks short, not many...

Is owning a car beneficial in Singapore? 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer

And yes, on Cars. Dad came around one day with mum asking about plans for our next new family car. Despite all his talk on Renaults previously, he was considering the 2006-2007 1.6L Mitsubishi Lancer which is going for a dirt cheap $43,000 with COE at C&C, which is close to half of how much we paid...

Its holiday! But only for this week…

Despite the sun coming out quite nicely these days, the whether and ambient temperature is still holding out nice and cool in my area.

Lor mee and Laksa at AMK Ave 10, Chong Boon Market

One of my favorite lunch spots in the Ang Mo Kio area will be the Lor Mee and Laksa store at Chong Boon Market along Avenue 10 . This hawker store had old beginnings being in the business for over a decade, or at least since I first tried their dishes in the late nineties. Their trademark...

Windows Vista – Slow! Bill Gates: No No No!

With all the hype and publicity on Windows Vista going on in Singapore, I guess I can only commend on the efforts MS Singapore is putting into promoting the OS. However in that limelight, definitely the main selling point and MS broke in sales will tell you that it's "safer", "more secure", "looks fabulous" and has "excellent...
