With CoreDuo laptops slowly making it's way into the market, apparently some tech-savy consumers like me is fad up in waiting for such new computers to hit mainstream, whether its a new laptop for my sis or a new tablet for me.
It just takes too long for any new processor release to come out, especially when you...
Training was up yesterday, ran like 10 sets of 400m round the track at no more than 90secs per round, almost peng san at the last few rounds, but managed a 82secs at the last round, (though coach actually intended 25rounds).
The running track will be closed 14th - 20th April, so training for this Friday &...
Life is like a box of takeaway pizza, a single entity in a box of vastness fit for a regular pizza, just like the one I've today after lunch. You must be surprised at me eating pizza all of a sudden, well if it won't for dad & this company providing free pizza hut coupons for personal...

Today was the last cross country event for the season, being the Swift athletics association Macritchie X-Country. The run saw the standard 4.8km boys trail route though the Macritchie forest & the midway last road stretch to the finish. Generally everybody in the team did good. All got their personal PBs for the route I believe. The...
Tomorrow will be the day the registrations for the Singapore Progress Package will be open. I would expect a heavy flow of traffic on the website the moment that happens, considering almost every Singaporean who sign up for it will get $800 (on average) credited to them by May this year - a definate welcome move to...
Caught this on a regular surf by, interesting to share here though.
Men love women. The way they look, smell, walk and talk are just some of the reasons why we consider them a divine species. Yet we can't live with them, and we certainly can't live without them...

Important but not Urgent?
These are the things which came to mind after a short chat with mum over lunch today at BM central, when considering the purchase of my laptop before school reopens. Maybe it wasn't the calories in the popular Hainanese Chicken rice we were having which sparked my mind going on the matter.
Few...
Mmm didn't really get much of blogging lately. Anyway here are some worthy highlights of the last week worth noting.
I did mentioned that I got myself an Antec True Power-II 480W Power supply unit (PSU) on my birthday to replace my old Antec 430W supply. The PSU's fans suddenly burnt out & stopped spinning. I only discovered...
Today is my birthday! A year older, a year wiser (as they always say). What else to but to stuff ourselves silly at an International buffet at Trader's Hotel, whats more, with Birthday compliments from Singtel, I got 20% off the total bill. The spread was cool, with lotsa my favourite lobsters, sushi & meats. I was...
Yesterday was the second day of the freshmen enrollment day, which goes in hand with the CCA promotion day as well. Interestingly after each freshie is enrolled, they will have to pass through a series of classrooms where student clubs had set up booths to promote their respective CCAs. After going through this sequence & passing through...
Been surfing around a lot lately to check out good laptop buys, hoping to get one before school reopens. But there are just no good Tablet PCs around at the moment.
I was once fascinated with laptops in secondary school, where I got my first personal notebook in secondary two. It lasted with my till Junior college days,...

After some weeks of hiding in an out of the box, its official this time, Dell had acquired long time gaming rig...
The morning started at 9am with me trying to log into the all so buggy MSN messenger 7.5 only to crash 3 consecutively. I guess the notification disruptions of someone logging in & out of MSN repeated definitely leaves an impression on your contacts, explaining the barrage of messages which followed thereafter. With some telling me that...
I really have to commend on how fast film photo developing is now, it only took one hour contrary to like one whole day back in the mid 90s. For an additional $3 you ccan even get all the softcopy of the images burned onto a CD-R. Call me old school if you may. Haha anyway it...

Today's the first day of my NAUI Scuba Diving Course. I actually remembered reading it somewhere, but till then it never crossed my mind that the word SCUBA was actually a noun, later do I rediscover that its actually an acronym- Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus S.C.U.B.A. haha talking about neat acronyms. Mingled around & made quite...
Today is the day where we as a group from SP track & field, get to conquer the Suntec's full 43 floors of concrete at the NTU's annual National vertical marathon challenge.
