Cobalt Paladin
An average guy who took the road less travelled since year 2000. In the beginning, full of confidence, awe and wonder. Now, a bit shaken, a bit stirred and a lot wiser. Survived many humbling experiences and expecting more to come. Have learnt the virtues of patience and perseverance.

The recent developments in the ping.sg community has affected me greatly. Can't believe that the incident started unraveling only 3 days ago. So many posts, comments, forum postings were made in the short span. Contrary to some beliefs, the incident had in fact split the ping.sg community into many fragments. Unhappiness over Daphne's postings were talked about in msn, …

Through the 8 years since I've started my business, many clients have become friends but many friends later also become strangers. We had helped each other through the hard and difficult times. We were locked together elbow to elbow, standing proudly and facing the pounding waves that tried to wash us away. Many a times, after the ordeal, we held our head high and laugh …

I know I've been ranting about the taxi services recently and talking about buying a car for the reasons in my ranted entries. But truth be known, I can put up with all the big and small inconveniences from the public transport and my reasons for not having a car remains. Many of my friends think that I'm a frugal person. When I shared with a friend that I'm considering …

It's been almost three months since LTA had made adjustments to the Taxi CBD rule.

Also, taxis are not allowed to pick up and alight passengers on side roads if public buses are plying. This rule is in effect from Mondays to Saturdays, 7am to …

From as much as I can gather, even though Ron Lanford (an Australian) has a similar patent in Australia which he first had it registered, it doesn't seem like he has sent any letter of demands or invoices to any of the companies in Australia. Apparently, he has similar patents in New Zealand and USA too. If that is the case, doesn't it make you wonder why did he target only …

I was checking my stats and saw a healthy amount of traffic coming from a link I didn't recognise. Upon clicking the link, it brought me to the infamous sammyboy forum! Fortunately, there weren't any NSFW content, else I may be misunderstood by my wife and I'll have lots of explaining to do. Heh! Apparently, a member has copied-and-pasted my entry "Another Reason To Get A …
