Wishing every1 a prosperous Lunar New Year!
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. My [...]

Windows 7 ~ Day 1: not exciting, BUT rather stable
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 [...]

View from the top…
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 plush [...]

samsung customer DISservice!
Mission: get Samsung NP-X11 notebook’s wireless switch repaired under warranty

Commendation: Mr. Richard from Malifax Technology
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.
