10 Annoying Things Women Do

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... ...for the most part anyway, because perfect, they are not....

Urgent & Important?

Important but Urgent? or 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...

Re-capping the PSU failure

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...

Laptop Dilemma

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,...

Semester 2 Results Out!

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...

Naui Scuba Diving Course

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...

UMPC (Ultra Mobile Personal Computer)

Apparently, Microsoft is coming up with a new line of UMPC (Ultra Mobile Personal Computer), code-named Origami. It will be a seemless blend between our current PDAs & tablet/notebook PCs. So far the closest we had seen embarking on the concept previously was fujitsu with their ultraportable & highly successful Lifebook P1510. The only thing is that...
