Cheyne, my 8 year old Golden Retriever, found himself temporarily without a home recently. Due to some unfortunate events that happened in the house he resided at (not where I stay), he had to be sent to a boarding house. He’s very sad to leave his home… it had been the same in the past when no one was home and we had to send him away.

The Soup Spoon
The mushroom pesto sandwich was surprisingly good. The boston clam chowder wasn’t, too much carbo not enough clam. — Posted from my N73 Lifeblog.
Free Gift, But so Reluctant to Give
Two nights ago, I visited Yoshinoya at Great World City. As part of their 10th anniversary celebrations promotion, I was given two of those peel-n-win lucky draw stickers with the meals I purchased. I sat down at my table, peeled the sticker and found myself the lucky winner of a… free cold tofu dish. Okay, I don’t know what the top prizes are, but nevermind, I like cold tofu, and why not have it now.
Cupcakes Made in Fairyland
Aren’t these cupcakes so lovely you’d think they were imported from Fairyland? These cupcakes were for my niece’s full month celebration (she’s the baby, not that she had a baby… haha I’m not so old lah…). The same cupcakes I had for my baby Vanessa’s full month celebration too. Well not the exact same cupcake design, but made from the same Fairyland. Just thought I’d share some moments of joy in admiring the cupcakes. Bear in mind the cupcake colours…
Wah Malaysia Boleh
Wah, I thought Malaysia boleh. This morning on CNA I watched how a Malaysian astronaut has gone into space. It must have certainly been a proud moment for all Malaysians. Then from a ping.sg link on 4G wireless broadband in Malaysia, I thought, wah not bad leh. How is it that Singapore is loosing out in mobile broadband? Alamak, someone needs to inform iZZinet, the Malaysian operator of this new mobile broadband service, what 4G is. For a start, check…
Are Bluetooth Headsets Cool or Dorky?
[photopress:20070928433.jpg,thumb,pp_image]Just got this in my morning email from a CNET hot community topic mailing list. Truth be told, I once thought that talking into thin air was indeed weird and, yes, dorky. In fact, it needn’t even have to be bluetooth headsets. You know, even back many years ago, someone using a well concealed wired ear piece which wasn’t apparent to others around… well that looked strange too.
Supicious Item Spotted at Airport
[photopress:changiairport_item2.jpg,thumb,pp_image]Spotted this unusual looking item at Changi Airport. The first thing that came to my mind was its resemblance to a bomb. You know how it is, so much public education being drummed into everyone to report every suspicious item (or persons). Had it not been on a trolley, accompanied by a pail and a mop, this would certainly have aroused suspicion. Well it turns out that this was just a water tank, used to water the indoor plants at…
Wow! Is that a Mainframe Computer?
A computer science student saw this, and asked if it was a mainframe computer. I was almost going to burst out laughing, but managed to hold myself together. I’m sure most of you know it is not a computer at all. This 1.7m high contraption is an isolation transformer. At least you should be able to tell it is some kind of a transformer, right? I just thought to myself that, my goodness, our students don’t even know how a…
Rocklea
Rocklea chocs from Darell Lea, mint marshmallow covered with nutty dark chocolate. Suprisingly nice. — Posted from my N73 Lifeblog.
Bricking of iPhones
Apple has certainly earned a lot of publicity on their iPhone. There was the legal wrangling with Cisco over the iPhone name at the start, activation woes from early users, unlocking of the iPhone software, and now, the fiasco over the bricking of hacked iPhones. Apple is usually known to have a wonderful marketing and PR engine. It seems like they have mucked up big time this time. But now I’m beginning to wonder… is all these publicity just clever…
