:: Gmail ::

Some kind fella in Hardwarezone forums gave me a Gmail account. I have officially 1 gb worth of e-mail space in some server in America(I think). People out there who actually do read this blog can reach me sersitiv@gmail.com alrite! Rejoyce, rejoyce! Wait so what if I do get 1 gb worth of e-mail space? Notthing special I guess, but the invite system really makes it feel a little different, a little special from the others that have no idea what the heck gmail is all about.

So I'm doing some online retail therapy now browsing through the sites that sell stuff, this is quite interesting site to get your geek gears. http://www.thinkgeek.com for stuff all geek and stuff that is so cool for geeks yup here is the place to go. Speaking of which creative warehouse sale is back! This time aiming for the Creative Inspire T2900 or the I-trigue L3450.

I am like interested in cooking, been watching the naked chef on television once in a while and is Jamie Oliver good! All those rustic cooking, rough, chunky and all so delicious. It make a cooking illiterate feel good, that he can conquer his friends' taste buds after watching an episode of the naked chef. I for one am a sucker for good food and his recepies do work even with amatures. It's all about flavour as he always says and smells over the food. Getting hungry as I type.

What is the world like, today 31 Aug 2004 is my friend Kiat's Birthday so happy birthday to him. Maybe we go for excellent won ton noodles at AMK. Power stuff I would say, won ton mee from heaven erm I mean Hong Kong. I like! Time to go I guess and pack up my room. Till next time!

:: Day out at Comex ::

Back from a day at comex, spent the day walking around taking photographs, looking at new stuff etc. A new iPod cost $479 while the iPod mini cost like $459 this is kinna ridiculous as the 20gb iPod actually cost just $20 more then the iPod mini. It seriously got me thinking what kind of marketing strategy apple is adpoting to their range of MP3 players.

I wonder if it is that Singaporeans are too free or there is a hell lot of people taking leave to go to the exibition. I wonder why? This fair is kinna small and there is not much new stuff to see more like a shopping spree place where everthing gathers into one place.

With IT getting so much adoption, even a 10 year old kid now knows how to attatch files to e-mails and send them out to freiends. What a P4 processor is etc. I really wonder where is the postition of those trained in Information Technology.

Ideas from Singapore, new prime minister, quite interesting on the way he is making us look at things. Well I guess it was the change of Prime Ministers that should make the other goverment bodies in Singapore start thinking.During the National Day Rally speech he highlighted on some goverment bodies showing really weird ways of doing work and follow the book so strongly that it brings some things to a stand still. How then when we talk about progressing all the time there are policies that bring this progress to a halt? Well I guess it is time that I start to progress into life as well have to shed my childish ways, bring out the man in me. Tomorrow perhaps, 1st things 1st, stop procrastinating. 2 weeks have past and what the heck have I done after my 1st assignment?

Singapoeans should have a changed mindset as well we are very very weird people I guess, so many Single people in Singapore cause we are too picky. BAD GENES? What is with that guy? I seriously dun care, it's not the genes that cause people to have bad eyesight, it's what we do. In the past cause we dun sit up straight now it's because we stare at the monitor the whole time. It is affecting our eyes and the way that we see things. Funny poeople, funny thinking. But one think I agree on is that some of us work too much, no social life where got babies? We work and work and work, play at pubs and discos. How to socialize when there are mostly only a few types of people that goes there.

- People that like to have Flings, ONS
- People that join people that enjoy nite life
- Peope that chill out
- People that go just for drinking

Interaction at these places is a minimum unless you have friend who bring friend and get to know friends. Well drop me a mail guys and gals if you wanna get to know me. If you are even interested in knowing me. Will get a shoubox up soon. Been too long since I last blog. I salute XieXue for her super keen interest in saying what she likes and dishing people off. RESPECT!
