Do not buy Wii

2011-04-06T18:32:00.005+08:00

Problem with Wii from Nintendo! Bought the system 2 years ago and unfortunately not play it as intensely as regular players. Only played 1 game. (Raving Rabbids that came with the set) Console and games are both original. Bought a new genuine game (101 sports party megamix). Upon doing upgrade, console locked. 003 error. Nintendo distributer in Singapore does not (or cannot) help with the

Life goes on

We are what we are as we have lived our lives.Our experiences dictate our characters.Yet we are what we will be as we choose to be.For our today is our experience of tomorrow. “Grandma is here!” thought a tween. The motherly smile, the deeply etched wrinkles, peaceful gaze, the exuberant being. Every now and then, as the child grows older, he discovered a pattern of

Gross National Happiness

2010-03-14T00:09:00.002+08:00

Singapore tried to keep up with Buthan and started a competition to find the happiest Singaporean last year.So a following cartoon showed that 5 happy people were happy. Then only one was really happy (after he won) while the rest became not happy. How true. Real life.Hmm. I will be happy that such competition should not be contunued let alone be started at all.Hmm. I am sad that we have carried

The brain is plastic

2009-12-25T23:45:00.002+08:00

I have read a book "The brain that changes itself".Intersting article. Talks about the adaptability of the brain.There is one story about a university professor who lost much of his movement due to stroke. He got rehabilitated and eventually went back to teaching. The autopsy showed that the brain was damaged to over 90% and he was functioning normally after rehab.Amazing.I also got to know that

Chapter from Einstein

Relative:If you are throwing a ball up and down in a moving train and it appears up and down.How would the person standing still see the ball? Up and Down or something else?

Are we civilised?

2009-04-05T01:00:00.002+08:00

Well certainly we can say so, and rightfully be so.It seems that when I take a walk down Orchard Road, Junction 8 or other pupular places, I see many people. It is a fact that there are at least 4 000 000 people living in a land area lesser than 50km by 30km. In fact, most of us living here have to be living in a cubical about 10 sq metre, side by side and stacked one in chunks one on top of

Question to Ponder

2009-04-02T14:50:00.002+08:00

I've read a book by Eintein as he posted this question:You are travelling along a straight railway track at very near the speed of light.Then two lightning bolts struck at the same time at the ends of the track.Question 1:Will you be able to see both lighning bolts or none at all?Querstion 2:Will you be able to see the one in front first then the one behind?

How do you consider friendship?

2009-01-02T15:45:00.003+08:00

I have come across a blog about friendship.No, it is not this blog which trigger my thoughts but rather it unearthed an issue which laid burried deep in the 'to be passed over' region of the mind.Having read, hear or converse with youngsters nowadays left me in want of the concept of friendship in their minds. Perhaps everyone in the world is now friends.A check in webseters:Related Words:

Silent TV even more silent

2008-11-12T01:08:00.000+08:00

I live, like the 70%, in a HDB flat.Everynight, I reach home by taking a lift to my floor and turn left to 2 doors after the lift doors open.One was always opened and the other is always closed.An old lady would sit in her sofa watching TV. When she caught my eye occasionally, we would chat. Most of the time, she would be dozing, watching TV or be somwhere in the flat.I often see her alone most

Beef Daube @ Coffee Club IMM

2008-10-24T20:34:00.005+08:00

I could not order hot chocolate as they had ran out. It was 7:45pm and the crowd was still there.My wife and I found a centre seat. The shop is in fact located in the center of a mall and any seat is the centre seat.While I could not describe her food, I sure could describe mine.They are the expert in coffee and so serving dishes may not be their forte.Beef Daube. Sounds like a french dish. It is

BeefBaconCheese&Egg @ Saussage House

2008-10-10T10:54:00.006+08:00

It is a small place in at the basement of Square 2. Only 4 high seats facing the counter. The cooking area is large enough to stand 3 adults. 6 if they are not cooking.I had Beef Bacon Cheese and Egg burger. (non-halal)Just as it is, except for the additional slice of tomato and a small piece of lettuce, you can see the bun, beef patty, one piece of becon, a slice of cheese and egg cooked in a

Ayam Penyet @ Ayam Penyet Ria

2008-10-04T00:24:00.003+08:00

Just went to eat at square2 at Novena at 8:30pm. Thinking that the stall would close at 9pm and the food not so wonderful after a whole day, I still decided to eat there.I was in a rush to go home and took a quick glance at the menu and ordered the first thing that came to sight. Ayam Penyet. (Ask your Malay speaking friends what it means). I also ordered a 'happy soda'. The whole thing set me

Wasabi burger @ Mcdonalds

2008-10-02T15:23:00.003+08:00

I have just ordered a wasabi burger from a Mcdonals in Shaw Centre.Noting new but a modified Fillet O Fish burger.Take away the special sauce and put in vegetables and wasabi sauce and you have a 'new' burger.Unless you have a problem with sinus or your nose, then this burger is good for you.The first bite and the wasabi effect will go up your nose totally clogging the flavour of the original

Observation (Fuel Surcharge)

2008-09-24T15:04:00.003+08:00

What is with fuel surcharge?What does it stand for?If the cost of fuel increases, then it should be worked out into the fare meter in taxis.Why is there a need for surcharge. Does it make the fuel cheaper?Or it is simply a ploy to earn more money?

Thinker (mind discriminating use of the senses)

2008-09-23T09:57:00.002+08:00

I have often wondered how a person learn.Perhaps that sensation inhibition is one of the stumbling block for learning.If the senses are unable to differentiate the stimulus, then it may confuse the brain.Should there be a way to sensitize the senses, then it may clear the path for the brain to scrutinize the signals and to process it.

Saving money vie ez-link card

2008-09-16T23:56:00.002+08:00

If transfer can actually save money as compared to single trip, then,2 people work in shifts. One starts work at 8am, the other ends work at 8am.Both of them work in the same factory or very near each other, andboth of them live together or very near each other.Say if one takes an ez-link card and goes to work, then pass the card to the other person who is coming back from work. Effectively, that

Thinker (Potential Collaspe of AIG)

2008-09-16T23:43:00.002+08:00

The news reported that AIG is facing a collaspe. AIA is a subsiday. Would it be effected?If it can survive this, then the company's fundamentals are sound. and2, the government has done well to protect Singaporeans.

Daily Obeservation (Holland Village Valet)

2008-09-13T21:55:00.003+08:00

HDB bans valet parking. Reasons which I'm not so clear. I did not do a follow-up, but let's presume...To continue:1. It is entrepunership.2. There is a demand for it. Poeple want to park their cars and not waste their time waiting for a lot. If someone wants to do the parking for them, and earn from it, why not? It's the risk of the car owner.3. The valets would move the cars away if the cars are

Daily Observation

2008-09-13T13:23:00.003+08:00

When I was in a taxi travelling along a certain road, I saw a long queue.At first I thought it was just an exceptional day.For the following few days, the queue still exist abit different people forming the queue.Then I looked at the building and wondered:The building is pretty large. It covers an area of 1 football field - surely it can accommodate more than 100 people who formed the queue

My Enviroment I'm in

2008-09-11T23:09:00.004+08:00

The cost of living has gone up.Is it because of oil prices?Is it because of free market condition effecting eatable commodities?Is is because of greed and knowleadge?

On Marriage

2008-09-08T11:19:00.003+08:00

Finding love is not an easy thing.At first it is selfish as one seeks to posess another.Jealousy, anxiety, uncertainty prevails.Then come marriage and commitment, giving and compromising. (win-win situation is bullshit. no such thing exist. It's just a business talk)When came the child, love is self-less.Love is in fact from within and (insomeways) learnt.

Old Photos

2005-08-16T22:18:00.000+08:00

Well, I found some digital photos in my computer.These were taken during a morning walk in one of the reservoir.I rememberd my friend's Fuji digital camera.This one is the trail which leads to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.About 3 hours later, we came to the old train station. We were quite fortunate to see the train go by :-)
