It’s not just because it is free, it’s also because many people really love the ice cold MILO, so refreshing particularly on a hot humid day. Nestle has launched a new product, MILO Easy Cool, which as its name suggests, is all about making it easy to prepare…
I’m quite flattered that Google search for “scrap car value in Singapore” currently leads right to my site. It’s the first hit in the search results. The hit, however, leads to outdated information that I wrote probably in around 2002. Since many netizens are obviously going to want to know updated information, I’ve decided to provide a public service by writing this post providing updated information. There is also an online query that tells you exactly the de-registration value of…
I haven’t really gotten onto the Twitter bandwagon. Sure, I have a Twitter account, just like about almost everyone else that exist on any social network. But I’ve found that in my circles, Facebook seems to be the overwhelmingly most frequently used social networking tool. I didn’t think Twitter really mattered anymore. Besides, there were just too many clumsy quirks due to various technical limitations of their technology. Is Twitter still very relevant now? I’m wondering about it, because, at…
We have not had such intense firefighting excitement at work in recent times. As IT folks, firefighting usually refers to emergency management of IT issues. This time, the firefighting literally included an element of real fire in the big picture. We’re not firemen, so no, of course, we weren’t directly involved with fighting that real fire. Furthermore, although the fire had not happened inside our premises, our IT operations was severely impacted by fire, and we would be spending significant…
Our SMRT trains have been on the headlines for the past week. I decided that I need to weigh in my own two-cents about the whole episode. The problems that have been occurring of late have hit on an unprecedented scale in our public transportation history.

What would you do if you had $80,000 cash? Buy yourself an expensive gift? Bring your family on a holiday? Your mind will probably be thinking right now how you would indulge yourself with that amount of money. Few people, I’d say, will think about giving away the money to benefit other people. Well, it seems that’s what the top prize winner of McDonald’s Monopoly game plans to be doing. Mr Sankararama Subramaniam was awarded the $80,000 top prize last…
WordPress never ceases to fascinate me. With each version upgrade, it gets so much better, it makes blogging so fun all over again. Sure, once in a while, I’m disagreeable with a couple of changes. But the improvements often outweigh the little setbacks that I’ve no qualms about updating my WordPress installation. Every time a new version is announced, I just upgrade without thinking. The latest version 3.3 has made a bunch of usability improvements. The most important one, to…

I was going to write something to diss the new iPhone 4S. But the legendary visionary behind the iPhone passed on, and I think we should take the moment, instead, to pay tribute to the man who has changed the face of computing, mobile communications, and media consumption in many ways. So this post got left in draft for a couple of days. But hey, life has to move on, and so many people have written about Steve’s passing, that I…
