Prep for Sheares Bridge run/AHM 2005

Today saw a 2.4km time trail for training, after some drills & foot work training. We even got the opportunity to run with our seniors taking the NAPFA test. Though the track team kinda finished even before 20% of the Napfa testees completed... no we are not fast, they are just slow. Clocked in at a disappointing...

Comex 2005

As usual, I am a living proof & verification of Murphy's Law, as typical example today when you are in a rush to meet somebody, traffic jams appear & all traffic lights will turn red when you approach them, DANG late again... Anyway, met up with Lishen & her colleague Danny at Suntec's Macdonalds in the afternoon...

New Balance Real Run 2005

It had been sometime since I woke up to the morning darkness, but today is an exception as the long awaited New Balance Real Run 2005 is on this morning! Had the "econo" Beehoon Horfun + egg for breakfast at Redhill market with dad (who had to go to the market for some groceries) before meeting the...

Our Guest of Honour is some Doctor or so...

“Sakaed” at Sakae Sushi

We came in empty but left walking out with our arms behind our backs like pregnant women. If you guessed "buffet" you are right. Just say "we" as a class went straving since lunchtime till 3pm, when we finally arrived at Westmall, Bukit Batok where we chomped to our hearts delight till 5pm. For a student rate...

Having too much time on the net…

Got back home earlier today as theres no track training for those competiting tomorrow. It's more or less a rest day for us in prep for the X Campus run. So I went around catching up on my surfing at home & I came across this online IQ/EQ tests. Haha as we all know, such online tests...

Non-Biodegradable Plastic!

Had been sometime since I went out grocery shopping with my parents (its like 2 years or so, since I left the army) so why not join them over the week at our usual nearby neighborhood NTUC fairprice. Overall I have to comment on the rather pleasant shopping experience fairprice has offered over the years, even till...

Electro scoring

The day ended with a short Q&A with our EL teacher, Mr Wong Sim Ming, otherwise known as "ahkao"given his rather funny pun on "ahkao hui lia!" (Ahkao come back!). Mr Low, our tutor finally released out thermo class test results yesterday, in a rather cartoony manner too, flashing results with him blocking half of the over...

National Day 2005

Its the patriotic time again - flags hanging high on our trademark HDB estates, people walking around like mini flag poles planted on their bags, or simply wearing red & white, motorcyclists riding around with flapping flags. Whether it my battalion giving free army rides to the public/marshaling at jurong east, or my platoonmates selling watches at...

HMV Opening at SP?

Just when you think SP is already full of commerical stalls, like Pizza Hut, Popular, KFC, Macdonalds, Resturants, Travel agencies, Bakeries & Print services, not to mention our 6 food courts, wait till they open a HMV branch here. It came as a surprise when some students approached me in campus asking me to help & participate...

Spent Saturday of runs

The schedule calls for a meeting at SP stadium at 10am today by the track commitee for a rather short brief & rehersal on the upcoming SP sport complex heats events on next week, Wednesday. I am appointed a track marshall so I am pretty much the witness or orderly of the 14+heats to take place on...

National Day Observance Ceremony

:mrgreen: This week at school, I see myself scoring 100% for Mechanics Test 1 (yea! perfection!), 80% for the Autocad Assessment one & 99% for the Autocad Practical Class test one. Though I am not the highest scorer for Autocad now, I just have to give the limelight to people who rightfully earned it by grades. Though...

Line to the power – 1.5Mps ADSL!

Since the activation of my 1.5Mps ADSL line on wednesday, (haha yea not the fastest in the world though...) Got my free Homeportal1800HG gateway modem installed & a 40GB pocket harddisk from my ISP through the mail on Friday. Previously, I was paying like $58/mth on 512kps on like a expired contract which no longer exists (duh)....

Its ALIVE! & oh yea, its sunday too…

Though this happened early this week, I guess I would put it down here anyway. If you remembered my previous post of the rather laughingly funny experience of me accidentally drowning my v3 bluetooth headset, (by forgetting to take it out in the wash). I have some rather interesting yet scary news as an update. Yes it...

Motorola HT820 Bluetooth A2DP AV stereo headphones review

Review of Motorola HT820 Bluetooth Stereo Headset/HeadphoneIntroduction I guess the main reason why people are pulling back on BT headphones currently are compatiblity problems & price. Personally I brought this headphone because of its build & looks, not to mention at a bargain price too. The decision is very much uncharted as theres no searchable review of this...

Oakleys are in!

A call came from a rather excited John (aka yohn) early this week telling me that the "remaining" oakleys we've ordered are in already from shipment. Finally! so as I thought. We actually intended to drop by yesterday, but Lt Jason, our "sales rep cum oakley order slave" was on leave, so it was called off. We...
