Thoughts on the 12Hour NIE Director Relay

😕 Initially I have second thoughts of running this race as I've never tried running and staying active for 12hours and at unearthly hours way past my bedtime, do not know how my body will react to such conditions. So as ZY and WW pulled out. But it's not like I've not done this in the army,...

Finally, Nice and Tidy! New HP L2335

Mum got about purchasing 2 HP L2335 23" WSXGA Monitors after getting a good deal from HP warehouse through a fellow colleague. These babies would easily go for $2k each in stores but got it at about less than half the price ($699/ea) with a three year warranty each. With this beast, it's bye bye to the...

It’s a thurs thurs-day!

Today's class in interesting. First off with lectures at 10am at the relative larger MLT1 lecture theater but only for 6 people! Only my class! I was expecting a combined lecture or so, but haha duh... overkill. Next lessons are at 3pm-5pm so that is a 4 hour break. Slacked my way out to FC2 after chicken-rice...

Got Bus? SBS Transit new Volvo B9TL

I remembered the old days when buses are those rickerty ones, esp the old double deck ones with quad folding doors and bell buttons which are chrome cylinder in shape with round red buttons, not to mention bell activator in rubber strips lined by the sides and they all all BEEP! Seats go creaky and they all...

Nokia N95

It seems that Nokia is quite aggressive on the phone launch lately, sticking to the N80 form, comes the lighter yet (more loaded) N95. It simply just give me second thoughts of continuing to wait to purchase the super outdated and overdue Benq-Siemens P51 (which still spots a 1.3MP camera, but runs WM OS and had GPS)...

First day of Semester 4

First day of school.. well semester is today, actually I can't believe I am looking forward to school as it marks the end of hectic work and chores for me (and I am the one who actually get myself into all these). Nevertheless made quite a good sum of cash for maybe for a new PDA phone...

SP websites – Probably the worst student website

I rest my case, woke up early this morning hopeful to get my GEMs registration done for the 3rd try and this: (See below) After retrying to login in for 30mins (about 60 times retyping my password) I eventually get this and nothing else: (See below) Even worst, 40mins later I am getting a "The page cannot be displayed"...

DBS ATM Security Info

Got a e-mailer from DBS, guess should share it as I believe this not only applies to DBS atms as well. Also, in view of the increasing numbers of ATM card skimming cases around the world, its's good advise for users to be extra cautious when using the ATM, locally or overseas, so we won't fall victims...

GEMS Useless Registration

My GEMS registration appointment are due today, so are given 10am and 5pm slots today to register. All to reduce site traffic, server load with spaces allocated per course for registration, so as claimed my SP. Logged into the SAS on the dot at 10am (today after forcing myself to wake up at 9am) and to my horror-...

Rainy Terry Fox Run

The Terry fox run was on this morning.

Aji-Tei Japanese Restaurant Dinner

You can't deny it, Suntec City Mall is the safest place to shop in the world, or at least in Asia for now. Almost every junction around the Suntec/CBD area, including bugis where I was today is controlled by traffic police with uniforms as white as their freaking pretty highway patrol bikes, even theres no obvious need...

Bumping the Distance

With the Singapore Marathon coming around the year end, begin seeing myself bumping up my weekly leisure run distances, up to 21.4km today. I always have the mentally of setting the requirement to training leisurely half the distances I intend to run for each year's running season before "qualifying" myself. So as for example this season's X-Country,...

Happy Birthday Mum, Semester 3 Results

Treated mum to lunch at our usual favorite chicken rice stall, with all the extras, my plate itself costs $4.

Though it's her birthday, mum still have to...

It’s Sunday! 2006/2007 IVP

GTA: Coke Advertisement

OMG, this is nice. Especially if you know GTA. With a very different twist of life. Paying for the drink, "carjacking" tipping the homeless, putting out fires and returning cash. Do a little good and it all comes back to you lalala-lalalala! All GTA style at a TV near you! Now to burn another 15km of rubber.

Samsung Q35 Notebook Review

Samsung Q35 Review Introduction Touted as the "world's smallest Core Duo laptop", the Samsung is indeed a really small beast, in fact it's feels even lighter than it looks. You have to feel it for yourself to believe after lugging around and using sub 3kg notebooks previously. This laptop is brought primarily for my Mum who needed a notebook...
