MRT no petrol ah?

No, its not your typical excuse to give when you are late. Apparently the MRT I was on today "broke down" because one of it's 48 doors refused to close, resulting in a 15min delay on a train packed no other than a can of sardines similar to that of Tokyo's rush hour. The staff all tried...

I guess I had been away for quite sometime, duh been quite busy lately, as usual with life, business & training. Nevertheless, semester 2 started rather slow & easy.

Funny Nintendo Revolution Advert

Yea we all know that Sony's out with their PS3 next year, answering that too will be Microsoft's Xbox360, both spotting wireless controllers, new processors, engine & such. But I guess nothing much can offer the interactivity the Nintendo Revolution offers. In place of the all standard game controller is a rather unique "TV remote" styled controller...
