(Red will indicate incorrect and blue the corrected)Example 1:This data proves …

Headed to Farmart today to try out some prawn fishing! It's our first time and nobody had any clue on how to fish, so we only rented 1 rod. While 1 of us was holding the rod, the rest just contributed 'eye power'. lol Preparing the bait Removing the prawn from the rod Spent an hour and guess what was the number of catches? Not 10 Not 20 But ..... A PATHETIC TWO!hahahaha.. …

Headed to the PC Show at Suntec Convention Hall yesterday. Despite the common sensical advice to "do your homework" before going and "be early", we did none. Had lunch at Marina Square's Imperial Treasure La Mian Xiao Long Bao; ordered Fried pork ribs ramen. I dislike pork but this dish was rather delicious to me. Ok, back to topic. lol.The number of brochure distributors …

As I write this, my heart is heavy with disappointment..........................................................................I hate checking results; the suspense, the hope, the fall from expectations and so on.

The porridge was more like rice in rice gravy.Set off to the Twin Tower. A taxi offered RM10 to bring us there …

As I read Hardwarezone forums a few days back, I was feeling aghast over the recent paperclip scam.Young teens claiming to be part of an entrepreneurship game, approach unsuspecting public and try to sell useless stuff such as paperclips folded into heartshapes. They ask for as much as $10 for a useless piece of metal!What's scarier is that they are part of a company called …

Went to Sunset way one day last week. It has evolved into a somewhat 'hip' place with pubs, steamboat restaurants, steakhouse etc.Settled for this Hong Kong cafe - Cafe D'Orient.The first table we were brought to sit at was full of ANTS. I felt itchy all over and so we changed seats. Should have seen the 'commotion' among the staff there. 3 of them went over to the …

Picture this scenario:Guy says: "I love you, honey," and the girlfriend replies, "No, you don't!"Guy: "What are you talking about? How can you say that?"Girl: "Talk is cheap. You never bring me flowers anymore. You never take me places with you.
