Even though the new 3G iPhone will sell for quite cheap in the US (US$199 and US$299 for the 8GB and 16GB models respectively), I did not expect the prices in Singapore to fall as low. Yesterday’s Sunday Times carried an article that put the initial iPhone price in Singapore between S$500 and S$1000 (presumably ...
I’m looking at the new Nokia N97 flagship smartphone. It seema like a worthy upgrade replacement for my existing Nokia N95 8GB. For a Mac OS X user, a big question is if there is an iSync plugin available for the N97? Or an easy hack of an existing plugin to use with the N97?Related ...Related posts:Upcoming Nokia N97 I’ve been a Nokia Nseries smartphone user for …
I just got around to upgrading the firmware on my Linksys WRT610N Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router. At this time, the latest firmware is 1.00.02.10 (also shown as 1.00.02 B10). I decided to check out the firmware updates because the last two days I was having some random network connection problems through the WRT610N. Then, ...Related posts:Linksys WRT610N Dual Band …
A tower crane at the construction site of the new alumni house in NUS came crashing down this afternoon. It smashed through a walkway shelter and just missed a crowded bus stop and an internal shuttle bus. Heard there were some deaths. The place was crawling with police, campus security, reporters. Fire engines and ambulance ...
I’ve been wanting to say this for the longest time. Since receiving this mass email this morning, I thought it might as well be now. SOME NUS STUDENTS ARE REALLY VERY STUPID! Does it make sense to leave a notebook out there in the open, walk away from it, and expect it to stay put ...
Hello, Singapore iPhone fans. SingTel has decided the penance you have to pay for your iPhone craze. It’s not cheap.

But there is ...Related posts:SingTel Announces iPhone 3G Prices Hello, …
My new Samsung 40″ LCD TV has arrived. It’s the new “B” generation of their Series 5 LCD TV. The TV looks really cool, and the pictures it produces are superb. The colours are bright and vivid, the contrast is excellent, and the image is crisp. It’s quite impressive. Perhaps I’ve been watching my old ...Related posts:103″ Plasma TV …
One of the nicest chocolates I like is Royce. They have this velvety dark chocolate with rum that is absolutely delicious. My wife and I chanced upon it many years ago at their (then) only outlet at Takashimaya basement. The problem is that this particular rum-flavoured dark chocolate became a seasonal item. We saw it ...
Finally, I laid my hands on the real MacBook Air. It isn’t mine, but well, it’s my first sighting of the real thing in Singapore. It’s actually a bit of an anti-climax. …
Yes rumours are circulating about the “Brick”. What is the “Brick” Apple is rumoured to be making a product announcement on October. Is the “Brick” a new MacBook? Or is it a totally new product line? Well, the latest information from the rumour mill says that the “Brick” is not a product, but refers to ...
Okay, by now everyone all over the blogosphere in Singapore has heard of the spanking new Association of Bloggers (Singapore), and many more so because of an article carried in TODAY. The reaction of most people seem to be one of shock, and an immediate denouncement of the very idea that bloggers need an association. ...Related posts:Baby In A Snowstorm Here In Singapore …
Cupcakes seem to be the rage in Singapore now. For Ian’s full month bash, we had cupcakes from both Cupcake Momma as well as Crystal Jade. Cupcake Momma has been doing cupcakes for some time, Crystal Jade is relatively more recent. Since we had both cupcakes, it’s easy to compare them. So how does Cupcake ...Related posts:Cupcakes Made in Fairyland Aren’t …
We recently went to Ellenborough Market Cafe at the Merchant Court Hotel for high tea. They are quite famous for their buffets. I’ve quite enjoyed their buffet for many years, despite the crowd. But I somehow felt different during my latest visit. Maybe I was just being picky, or in a bad mood that day. ...Related posts:Cafe On The Ridge Recently, I went with a few …
It seems that the Youth Olympics Village, which was originally supposed to be sited at the new NUS U-Town (or University Town), has been moved to NTU instead. The news was made public in a joint statement by NUS, NTU and the Singapore Youth Olympics Games Organising Committee. The reason was apparently due to the ...
I was coming home a couple of days ago when I saw this at a bus stop advertisement display. I’ve been playing with Drupal lately, and I just thought how familiar the logo seems to be. Check out the Drupal website. Quite some similarities eh?
When I got my brand new Apple 13″ MacBook Pro notebook, it wasn’t too long before I discovered that it “hung”. Nothing I did would revive it, so I resorted to a hard reset. It happened more than once. It happened in office, and it happened at home too. At the end of my second ...Related posts:New MacBooks and MacBook Pros Apple has announced their …
Every show it’s always roughly about the same sort of attention grabbing gimmicks. I’ve become immune to them. Well, here’s something quite unique, at least to me.

I was rather surprised to see this Adsense advertisement on my site. The ad title was “Apple Travel Laptop”, but it was a Sony VAIO advertisement. I immediately wondered, what has Sony got to do with Apple? Sony selling Apple notebooks? So, I clicked (I guess that’s what a good ad does eh, it makes ...
Did you read today’s Straits Times? As I was reading this article, I thought to myself, isn’t this the ultimate solution to the perennial problem of manpower shortages to staff our army? This could be a great way to reduce the national service liability for Singaporean men. In particular, the so-called years or cycles of ...
