I bet it must have happened to you at least once. You've been a long-time customer of Company X. You've been using their services for 10 years, 15 years etc. In all those years, at best all you've done is redeem some points for some small gifts. Then, now you see Company X having a nice promotion for new signups. You call Company X up and enquire whether you can take …
Link to story on Channelnewsasia.comFirst things first. If you are "sowing your wild oats" and your partner(s) are 17 or 18 yrs old (Polytechnic/JC age), DON'T PAY for it! :)Heh I'm just kidding. But indeed, this new amendment does sound weird, at least to me. The intentions are good, of course, but now what it means is:1. If you pay for sex with someone that's 17 yrs old …
This is my final working week at my current workplace. By some sheer twist of fate (some might call it bad luck), I had to go and fall sick. Since I'm already sick, and since this is the final work week for me, I decided "to heck with it" and called in sick. After all, this is the final time I can claim medical fees, might as well claim now before I "ROD" on Friday. It was a …
March 28th, Friday. End of contract. I'm outta here! That was only the beginning. The same night, I met with a friend for a quiet "celebratory" drink. Yeah to celebrate my release from servitude, aka The Evil Employer. Another friend thought she'd try to surprise me and turn up unannounced, but to cut the long story short, let's just say there were so many clues of the …
I had a nice romantic dinner date with Daphne and xinyun slated for tonight. Then, xizor volunteered to be the bright spotlight, so he came along too.Hahah ok I'm kidding. We met for dinner, cos xinyun wanted to show me a nice place with great brownies (I know I know, fattening!). The food is not too bad, and the price, pretty darn cheap, considering its location. The price …
Hands up those of you who remember watching this as a kid :) Ok I know, not many. Did you know/remember, that this series was made during the same time period as the original Star Wars Episode 4 was? Incredible huh? Yeah, I had a chance to watch some episodes of Six Million Dollar Man last weekend, and it sure brings back memories, and gave me some new ones. For example, …
During lunch hour today, I was just lazily surfing through the usual websites. One of them is Facebook.Due to habit, I click refresh to see the latest updates from my friends, on the Home Page. Lo and Behold, what do I see?Click to enlargeYes indeed, it seems that the former Facebook layout is coming back! However, right now it's kind of a hit-and-miss thing. Sometimes when I …
I actually had to wait a couple of days to confirm this. It appears I might have gained some weight. I literally weighed myself the past couple of days to reconfirm the weight is actually there. I know some people don't know this, but your body changes weight throughout the day. You should weigh yourself the same time every day to get more "consistent" results.Anyway, it …
Ok something's definitely not right recently for me.I seem to be running into problem after problem in my life, and on hindsight, it appears I'm having a streak of bad luck. I can't say it's "poor planning" because all these are beyond my control.Bad luck #1 - I decided to sign up with Skype for "unlimited phone calls" to Singapore, my caller-ID wouldn't work correctly. After …
Image via WikipediaI received an email today, pretty late in the day actually. It was from the PR firm of Streetdirectory.com, and it says, in essence, that Streetdirectory.com is up and running with new maps and satellite pictures.So I went over and had a look.I came away pretty indifferent. Well you can't really blame me. In its current state, Streetdirectory.com is nowhere …
One of the more notorious parts of the game is definitely the promise of “mature” or “adult-oriented” scenes. First off, let me just state that it’s nowhere near as raunchy as many would expect, and certainly “tame” compared to the infamous “easter eggs” of Grand Theft Auto.Besides, Bioware is in the business of making …
In recent days, I have been surfing and discovering stuff that make me itch to implement in my blogs, or install into my browser and give it a spin.For example, I discovered the Intense Debate commenting system and implemented it here. Then a day or so later, I came across a competing commenting system, which also garnered rave reviews, and implemented it on my gaming blog. …
Some time ago, I wrote about brown rice here. Since then, because I already bought it, I've been consuming it more often than the usual white rice we Asians eat.Ok, although the initial taste test wasn't very positive, I must say that you actually "grow into it". It's like an acquired taste. Now, I don't find that it tastes funny anymore. Anyway that's not the point of this …
I think someone up there is trying to give me a big hint. A hint that I am not fated to own any Sony Ericsson device.Some time back, I misplaced my bluetooth earpiece, which was a Motorola model H500. So, I had to go get a new one. A colleague managed to convince me (at the time) that getting a same-brand bluetooth earpiece is very much more preferable to me getting a …
Remember my post about the new service that Blogrush launched, called Trafficjam?After seeing just 1 day of statistics, I have come to a conclusion.Blogrush should have been named "TrafficJam", and TrafficJam should be renamed as "Blogrush". Honestly, the results these sites deliver are in total opposite of what their names imply. When I first joined Blogrush, I was expecting …
Exactly 33 days ago, I placed an order online for the Bodylastics Home Gym. It actually arrived yesterday, but because nobody was home to receive the package, it got sent back all the way to Paya Lebar, the HQ of Singpost.So I had to make phone calls just to make sure that it's there and told them to hold it there and I'll go pick it up myself. Since I won't be home, it's …
You know the saying, "Power Corrupts, and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely".Interviewing people for a position is kinda like placing incredible amounts of power at your disposal. You alone decide whether he "lives" or "dies". Your decision alone dictates whether he's gone, or he can come back.Also, normally I am not the one doing the interview. I generally shun meetings and …
It's a question you should ask yourself too, once in a while anyway. This question was asked of me a couple of times by people in ping.sg though. How did YOU get started in blogging? For some people, they're just "jumping on the bandwagon", because they hear that you can make oodles of money from blogging. For other people, it's a way to vent their frustrations, be it against …
Right after I wrote this entry here, I visited Youtube to check out the gaming videos. One never knows what one might find, eh? Good thing I did, because I came across something pretty cool. Before Johnny Lee invented his Wii Remote head tracking controller as seen in the previous entry, someone else did something almost as amazing - using your plain old webcam, which most …
I know many of us will exceed the speed limit in Singapore. I mean, the 90km/h limit is like, so slow!!! If there are no cops around, why not exceed it a little, right?Well the good thing is that I don't own a car, so I will hardly ever get caught for speeding. Well, only when I rent a car, anyway.But, for policemen, part of their duties could very well be catching errant …
