Geoff’s Singapore Visit

It's time of the year again where my old SAJC classmate Geoffery comes by from Melbourne to Singapore for a visit. Well, he's not exactly Australian if you are wondering, just an undergrad studying there, based largely in Singapore and Hongkong. Sunday was the intended day for the outing. But most of the gang couldn't make it...

Post Standard Chartered Marathon 06

RACE REPORT You've finished, we see a Winner! As anticipative as I was last night trying to sleep at 10pm, the next moment it's already time to wake up at 4:15am. Left the house at 4:50am for hawker breakfast. Disappointingly, most breakfast stores, though open had not started selling yet (I remembered eating there at an earlier time...

Bicycle Outruns Cops On Highway

Can't believe it? Well watch it, show from a overhead patrol helicopter, so video can get rather shuttery at times. All thanks to 18 wheelers.

SP Bookprize for outstanding performance?

I've always longed for some sort of "monetary award" one can always get from being just the plain top few in class. Not that I've ever been the top few in class but it's definitely something to look forward to when you know you are doing well and not too hot headed about it. Moreover, I've applied...

What goes around comes around – Comp down again

The week started with my computer conking out on me again, exactly one year since I last changed the motherboard, it seemed that it went out again, this time with a blank system after it failed trying to recover the bios. Maybe I was too caught up with force booting the past month just to get work...

Post Swissotel Vertical Marathon 2006

Sunday was the 2006 Swissotel Vertical Marathon, an event which I would see myself participating almost annually since last year. Maybe because of the love & uniqueness of the sport, not to mention my kakis who always participate the event together. On top of the usual annual line up of cross-country, adventure races and marathons. I was...

Got Nintendo Wii?

For something new in gaming, thinking of buying a Nintendo Wii for a change, why? For starters, I usually don't console game & all I had previously was a NES, a SEGA Gamegear & Gameboy SP. Therefore, I usually see my chances at modern console gaming at friend's houses or chalets. But not much of a problem...

Sorry I've not been updating lately, its always the same reasons, work work and more work to the extent of destruction.

O2 XDA Zinc aka Asus Mars II

I think I found the phone I am finally looking for, the O2 XDA Zinc (aka Asus Mars II).
