Just a little update on my life on Lunar New Year’s eve:… I’m still waiting for my custom earphones. As of this post, I’ve just finished “celebrating” the full-2-mth anniversary of this seemingly-futile wait. From January & now I’ve been enjoying the wonderful game of “email-ping-pong” with the main company, Hearyourself, and my middleman company. [...]

Just installed Windows 7 Beta (Build 7000) this morning. Extremely fast process, i.e. download of 2.44GB took me half an hour, actual installation inclusive of 1 round of Windows Update took 1hr). In contrast, had wasted a lot of time getting GPartEd to resize my existing XP partition to no avail(used Partition Magic in the [...]

To celebrate my dad’s bday & knowing that my mum likes to have a bird’s eye view of the city, I decided to bring them to the Si Chuan Dou Hua Chinese restaurant on the 60th floor of UOB Plaza =) The entire restaurant has a very traditional Chinese interior, with overhanging oriental lamps and [...]

Lastly, I must really compliment the service at TCC – Suntec City. They are really very polite and courteous and considerate. He even offered to help me pour the chilli sauce just because its a new bottle and I fumbled with it for 2 sec….

Remember the Singnet broadband issue I’d after upgrading to 8mbps plan? And the issue with the CSO failing to deliver on his promise of a 2nd line check followed by a 1-to-1 exchange of modem? & let’s not forget the issue with the 2nd SNBB technician coming late, empty-handed, not performing the 2nd line check [...]
Singnet failed to solve my connection issue

Some time ago I re-contracted with Singnet to order to upgrade to their 8mbps plan but at a lower price than my current (I’m was paying $47 for 3.5mbps). I was using their 2wire modem then, as I was “selected” to participate in their MioTv rollout in my [HDB] block. One grey 2700HGV-2 was issued [...]
Watchmen: read

Finished reading “Watchmen”. Rather engaging, picked it up for the sake of understanding the movie when it finally comes out, but didn’t realise it is, as a matter of fact, a worthy read on its own, movie or not. I like this kind of storyline where there’s no black or white, & the individual character’s [...]
