Fujitsu Siemens Pocket Loox T830

When I brought my first Siemens handphone more than 6 years ago, I've never turned away from that brand ever since & went on with my SX1 till now. Then things started looking bleak when BenQ acquired them. As I never really like BenQ phones. I never thought I would see myself owning another Siemens. Till I...

Sony Ericsson P990i Vs Dopod 838 Pro (HTC Hermes)

Been researching quite abit on the close battle between the 2 powerhouse phones, the Sony Ericsson P990i & the Dopod 838 Pro (HTC Hermes aka O2 XDA Trion aka Qtek 9600 whatever the rebranding). Both costing at least $1000 & representing the motherload of current consumer technology. I am still on the deciding stage so do drop...

Crash Your VW Jetta, Semester 3 loads

Seemingly, the animation department of Volkswagon seems to be up on a few cups of radioactive coffee lately, featuring some simple but rather neat animation of their Jetta Crash tests on their website. With rather bizarre items: UFO, Chicken Truck, Godzilla's Feet, Humpy Dumpy's Wall, just to name a few. Check it out here. Unless you spot a...

Modules cleared, New SP website

Woot the poolside gym will be closed today, as they are installing a a new multi-rack weight station. Out goes the 2 decade old Universal station in place of a newer spanky one. So as told by the gym Auntie yesterday. Wonder what will it be... & that would be a good reason to visit the gym...

Mizuno Wave Run, Track & Field Meet

Mizuno Wave Run at Kovan last sunday was a one the first few leisure competitive run events of the year - being able to get the track team all together. The atmosphere is definitely an intro to the many major public competitive runs for the juniors, contrary to the previous X-ctry & Newpaper Big walk. Everything looks...

It had been about 2 years since I've eaten at the Metro-Y Coffee House at YMCA (along Stevens road). Previously about 5 years ago, it was the best place for Chinese style Claypot Chicken rice.
