The “500 Internal Server Error” is a pretty common catch-all error message generated by many web server software. I’m sure everyone has seem something like it at some point or other, and we all come to accept it as a “okay”. But it is not okay for an internet banking website to sport such errors. Particularly if it happens repeatedly.
She bit the snowman and trotted around the house with the snowman in her mouth. By the time I managed to grab my camera to snap a shot, she had settled down in the dining room resting her head on her “prey”.
The N95 8GB was officially launched on 29 Aug 2007, just one day shy of 16 months ago. Many technology gadgets don’t last very long as they are quickly replaced by a better models in just a few months. Sometimes they are even obsoleted in just months. So it is quite unusual that, 16 months on, the Nokia N95 8GB still holds its own against the many newer phones, be it from Nokia or competitors.
I don’t know why, but Vanessa really doesn’t like Ronald McDonald. Several times we had a family outing to the McDonald’s outlet at King Albert Park, I try to put her on the lap of Ronald McDonald (the statue, that is). There are two statues there on the steps up to McDonald’s. She’ll cling on tightly to me, and refuses to even tough Ronald McDonald. It’s like she’s terrified of him. Maybe it’s the statue… looks like a person, yet too unreal to be a person.
One of the hassles of car ownership is having to get the car serviced at regular intervals. The 1km servicing for my new Honda Stream came up, and so I spent pretty much of my morning today at Kah Motor’s Leng Kee service centre. There are a bunch of other locations to choose from, but people seem to recommend going to Leng Kee. It’s basically the same place as the showroom.
There are many things about Christmas. Feasting is one of them. I suppose it is an excuse to get together to feast on our favourite foods. Yes, it doesn’t have to be made up of turkey, honey baked ham and puddings. We can have our local version of Christmas dinner filled with roast suckling pig, roast pork belly, otah, popiah, etc.
Baby squishes the Tang Yuan. See mummy makes faster or baby squishes faster.
This year’s Christmas tree has been downsized. Not that it was intended as a reflection of the economic downturn. It’s actually a new tree though. The previous tree isn’t that old, but I guess the new tree is more “modern” and comes with lights. It’s also a lot easier to setup than the old one.
Yes, sometimes you still need a heater instead of cold air-conditioning even in the hot Singapore weather. Previously my Honda Civic had a heater mode. I would have thought that it would be quite useless in our local climate. But when my Altis did not come with a heater, I was surprised to find myself missing the feature. Yes, there are days when you get into your car after it has been raining all day and drive off, you actually find yourself freezing.
Most people will try to negotiate some freebies with their new car purchase. One item that often gets packaged together is solar film installation. Solar films are designed to tint the glass and reduce the amount of heat absorbed by the car’s interior. Given Singapore’s hot climate, this is a very practical add-on that is often sought after by many car owners.
I think we had 11 oysters each, from The Line restaurant at Shangri-la Hotel. It's a big buffet with plenty of food.
Lunch at Lerk Thai some weekends ago.
