One pair of wood

This was added last week and they worked like icing on da cake....

After the latest round of my shun mook adventures, I conclude that one mpingo disc works marginally while 3 are hugely effective .....

So make sure you try 3 before dismissing them altogether...

Not a million

Not a millionaire was made this evening after the ToTo draw .....

With 8 winners sharing about $5.6 million, each will go home feeling a tinge of sadness....

It's never easy to strike the top prize ... However being made to share with so many other people can be frustrating .....

Waiting still

Tempted by the offers available at the singtel and starhub roadshows, my colleague and I went down to check things out .....

I wanted da phone while he was ok with renewing his contract without getting a new phone..... What a combo right? I get a new phone while he hops onto the corporate subscription rate....

In the end we found out his contract is not due for renewal... Alas haha ...

Next time then..!!!! The phone can always wait for me.....

Green pen

Remember the tweaks from the early days of CDs....????? One of which is the green marker...

Recently I decided to try it again....

High and low I was looking for Mitsubishi uniposca at Bras Besar to no avail..... Maybe they have switched the brand to zig and this was what I chose....

Since it's water-based it should work as intended.....

Pay for pain

During a post-lunch chit chat, my colleague told me he loves the pain he gets during foot massages.... The greater the pain the better it is for him...

Oh my how can anyone be this sort of a sucker for pain...????

Will you pay for pain???

As for me? Nooooooo .....!!!!

On the other hand, can't they use a little less strength ..???

Rubber news

There is a on-going promotion at Hankook Singapore for all their tyres.... All at 30% off the list price...

Knowing that this offer expires on 31 Jan 2011, I made my way down to check out the discounted prices for their latest RS-3 tyres.....

Alas there is no stock for 235/40-18 ......!! When are they coming again? Well no idea at all.....

No fret there's still the not too old RS-2 at about $230 per piece..... And also the evo S1 at about $250 per piece....

Next is to dig out more on KU36....

4 of a kind

2222....

Not bad and surely not too expensive....

Less travelled

The next servicing is due in February 2011 or 35,000 km, whichever is earlier ...

However since the last oil change I have only done 5,500 km.... What did I not do? If I use the car for work only, I may not even hit 5,000 km every 6 months.....

All my vehicles past and present share this use-pattern..... Low mileage....

piece by piece new credit cards have been streaming into household by mail........

and all are now equipped with a new chip to try to beat the baddies......

besides that new feature, i realised that they now come in a matt finish.......

perhaps that glossy look is no longer in vogue..... just like how that car owners were going GA GA over the matt-sticker-look awhile ago....

sooner or later someone will bring the glossy look BACK.....


Clear rock

If the clear quartz made a difference, I for one couldn't tell... For the little bit of dollars, it's still quite a nice piece of crystal....

I'd place it near the bed-board as my companion.....

Waterfall

As time went by the leaking problem has become a daily headache....

Even though I love the outdoors and beautiful scenery I have no wish for a indoor waterfall or water feature ...

Damn the stupid air con..... And sucking out the discharge outlet with a vacuum cleaner is no longer as effective as before....

So what's the problem..???? An internal choke..??? Probably.....

IDEA..!!!!!!



want to earn a floating city that's almost like MONACO..????

POWER one kind......

can this be as big as an aircraft carrier..????

new polks



the new flagship loudspeakers from polk audio is a BIG step in terms of technology and price from the LSi series.....

can't wait to see, feel and hear them....

is anyone bringing current polk audio loudspeakers to singapore...???

annual update....

nowadays a i5 processor laptop computer can be yours for less than S$1,000........

and prices continue to drop and drop..... almost as fast as you can say INTEL.......

the issue is MOST and MOST of us do not need the increased computer power EVER..... but since we can get better performance for less money on an basis, who are we to complain....

a replacement period of 3 years is still reasonable and i plan to stick to it until the present one KO....

sometimes the temptation will rise itself ... especially during the quarterly mega computer shows we have either at the expo or suntec city....

by then things really get cheap....... and real cheap..... who can resist the herd mentality during these events when people RUSH to buy and buy.....

if you are not keen to drop some dollars then better stay away.......

i have no idea what he's talking about ...


nonetheless it's interesting enough to get my attention.....

Impact..!!

Have you ever been hit by a train????

I guess not... Cos the likelihood of a person surviving such an experience is remote.....

Although not many people live to tell the tale, the impact of such a HIT must be devastating and decapitating....

On the other hand there are also ways where pressure applied on the correct acu-points can be similar or even more spectacular than a train-hit.....

Probably there are few people who are blessed with such powers and talent to inflict the maximum damage when it counts the most.....

But they do exist......

Remember they possess a gift that's almost out of this world.....

it's time for starhub to tell everyone how much each unit of the set-top box costs........

in this age and day, they cannot expect to collect monthly rentals in excess of the cost of that box.......

if a subscriber has paid up the unit cost of one in monthly rentals, then he should have earned the right to own the box once and for all....... it also means starhub should lose all rights to collect rental anymore......

people have forgot how much we have all paid for rentals......

for improved control and handling, nothing comes close to a deep-dish steering wheel..... and as i think back, i kinda miss that wonderful period of using the OMP day in and day out.....
