Well, it’s back. Although I don’t know for how long. Wahahahaha.

SingPost vandalise its mailbox for YOG marketing
I don’t understand what the linkage between vandalism and Youth Olympic Games. Oh wait, it’s actually graffiti, not vandalism. Does anyone know the difference between graffiti and vandalism? Anyway, SingPost has apologized for the viral marketing stunt.

If you ask me, I’ll say it’s publicity, in a bad way.

My officer on Court martial
A high ranking army officer has been brought before a tribunal for alleged misconduct under military law. I think he is actually one of the officer in my unit during my NSF days. I’m not directly under him but I know him. Remember his name because he is quite a nice guy. Well respected by men and officers. High flyer too.

I hope he is innocent. We need more people like him in SAF.

You can get a birthday cake from OCBC
Blogger Kitchen Tigeress visited OCBC on her birthday, requesting for a cake as advertised on their advertisement. The staff tried to convinced her that it’s just an advertisement but failed. In the end, the manager bought her a cake.

I must say that the manager handled the situation well. I hope he managed to claim the cost of the cake from the company. Ads agencies, beware.

Sky Dining on NYE
Holly Jean spend her NYE on the Singapore Flyer Sky Dining but the service wasn’t up to her expectation. It’s a fully booked day and the Singapore Flyer had some logistic problems that wasn’t handled well by the staff.

What can I say? Of all days, they choose to cock up on a day when a prominent blogger is onboard. Damn unlucky. But credits to them for being quick to offer service recovery. Hope they can learn from the mistakes and improve on it.

HP Slate copy Apple?
Microsoft CEO Steve Balmer unveiled a new touch-enabled slate PC from HP during his CES Keynote. And I’ve been reading lots of comments saying that HP is copying Apple’s iSlate which is rumored to be announced on 26 or 27 Jan 2010.

Wait a minute. HP has officially announced their Slate PC. Apple’s iSlate is still a rumor and Apple haven’t confirmed it. So how is that considered copying?

My health conscious nephew
I was laughing when my sis told me that my 7 year old nephew sometimes looks for the “Healthier Choice” logo when buying can drinks. I wonder where did he learn that from.

Rina is nominated for 2007 Webblog Award – Best Asian Blog category. Go vote for her now. This is your last chance as voting will close on the 8th Nov. Everyone must support Rinaz. Cause she say she will treat me coffee at Geek Terminal if she win.

Ikea hacker
We heard of computer hacking. Have you heard of Ikea Hacking?

If you think STOMP was bad enough
There are quite a few posting in Stomp about policemen making mistakes like sleeping in carpark. Some people defended the police officer. Well, Singapore’s policemen are lucky that they haven’t encounter this guy yet.

Super addictive game
This is another super addictive game. You have been warned.
Try play the multiplayer game once you unlocked it. More fun to play against human.

MM Lee: We do not trace you on Yahoo or Google
You heard the man. He said they will not be tracing us on Yahoo or Google. well… maybe they are using Alta Vista?

Slapping game
A good game for destress.

Facebook Song

I can poke you, you can poke me too.
Come poke me at my facebook.

But who are they to decide 31 Aug is blog day. Hmmmm….

Lip Syncing To The Song
Didn’t know that there is actually such a song.

Feel like doing lip syncing someday too.

Hardest question on earth

The hardest question that facebook’s compare people can ask.

How do I make a choice?

Problem with wireless@sg
Why doesn’t IDA believe that the wireless@sg sucks?

Seriously, if I ever have a good video camera, I’ll take video of my laptop screen when using wireless@sg. Then you guys will see how bad the random disconnection is.

Handphone back from hospital
Send my handphone to repair because the navigation joystick is having some problems. I heard that it is a common problem with Sony Ericsson phones that are using joystick. No complains since I really love my K800i. One of the best phone I ever had.

When I got back my phone, the technical support guy told me they changed the entire motherboard. I was pretty shocked. He said that the joystick is connected to the motherboard, and the only way they can replace it is to replace the whole motherboard. Hmmmm…. You mean everyone who go to the service centre with joystick problem, you will change the entire motherboard? Wow…. that isn’t very cost efficient leh.

So I got back my phone with a new motherboard. Errr…. in short, I only got back my casing. The rest of the phone is brand new.

Why don’t you guys just give me a new phone instead? Hahahaha…..

Decayonnet at sgblogs rank 15
I don’t really know how sgblogs.com does its ranking. But I’m surprised that I managed to get into rank 15.

But the ranking is quite competitive and changes almost every day. Doubt I’ll remain there for long. Oh well, at least its nice to know that I managed to hit rank 15 once.

Humping Dog
Not sure if I should classify this as NSFW. Anyway, its funny, but really serve no purpose. And very noisy too.

Interviewed by How to blog for money
Paddy email me recently to do an interview for his blog. Here are the things that I said.

When I read back what I wrote, I found that I was rather boring when answering the question. Which is not my usual self. Wondering why…. Must be tired cause of the assignment.

Someone stole my Dilbert Calendar
Someone in my office stole my Dilbert Calendar. Not the whole Calendar, but just one piece. But strangely, that day’s comic wasn’t exceptionally funny. Why would anyone want to steal it? Sad…. I always keep the paper after tearing them. Now I’m short of one day in my collection.

Building the Merlion in Second Life
Got a group message from Lion City in Second Life. They are giving Lion City a facelift and need help with building a Merlion. If you think you are able to do it, feel free to contact MInky MOusehold.

I went into Lion City yesterday. It was empty. They even removed the Suntec City!
I love the Suntec City. Wish that they will put it back soon.

6 5 more pownce invites to give away
The pownce invites are still up for grabs. Hurry before it runs out.

OK, I think it won’t run out. Maybe pownce has given out too many invites and those who wanted pownce would have already gotten it already. Anyway, if you want, feel free to drop me a comment.

I know how to repair printers
One of the printer in my office is having problem recently. The paper keep jamming during printing. A colleague reported the problem to me since I’m the duty LAN admin for the month. Thanks for seeing me so up. I really feel honored that you guys think I know how to repair printers too.

So I just went over see see look look. It appears that there is no problem doing normal printing. The paper will only jam when printing double side. I check the printer log and discovered that all the recent jam occur at the duplexer.

Conclusion, duplexer spoilt. Too bad we got no budget to get a new duplexer. Else I would had really ‘repaired’ the printer. Or maybe I should open up the duplexer and see if I can fix it myself. Hahaha….

Marking on MRT platform
Not sure if you notice, but there is some strange marking on the MRT platform lately.

Wondering what are they up to again this time. Hope the will not use it to increase the fare again.

Why guys carry PDA
There was a discussion on the Ping.sg forum about the date we choose for the ping.sg birthday party, 07-07-07. Nice and easy to remember. Then Missy commented that its good to choose these easy to remember date for wedding and stuff so that you won’t forget to celebrate the anniversary. Uzyn asked what if choose easy date and the guy still forget.

Well, there is a reason why guys use PDA. But sometimes, it even reminds you of dates you don’t want to remember.

Geek Terminal ahead
One of the most common problem is that people can’t find Geek Terminal. Well, don’t worry. They just put up a signage recently. Can see from far.

Chio right?

This shows that the broadband speed I’m using is too slow and has become obsoleted.

Hitchoo oops
One thing I don’t like about the Hitchoo cards is that you have to write the username and passkey on the card yourself. My handwriting sucks. It’s going to ruin the look of the card. The gal might not even recognise the words that I wrote.

And when you got 8 cards to write at one go, chances are, you will make an error.

Oops…. I wrote the passkey on the userid field. One less Hitchoo card.

decayonnet IPO
I discovered that my blog is listed on the stock exchange. Well, Blog Stock Market to be exact. The share price is at B$2,830.31 per share currently. Wow.

Wondering what the exchange rate to real currency. If the money is good, I might consider selling my blog. Haha….

PS:The currency they use is B$…. which reminds me of Bull Shit.

Yahoo! to Apprentice
I don’t know if I’m the last person on earth to know this. But you can watch Apprentice Season 6 on Yahoo! TV. In case you don’t know, I love to watch The Apprentice. There is always a lesson to take away from every episode.

Its great that I can watch The Apprentice legally online. In the past, I have to use illegal means to get my hands on the video files. Can die from waiting for local television station to air season 6.

PS: If you don’t want to know who is the winner for season 6, then find something to cover the top right corner.

Blog to America
Got an email from one of the owner of a very cool blog call Blog to America. He invited me to submit an entry to their blog. Blog to America is a place where foreign perspectives on the United States could be voiced and heard by normal, everyday people across the globe.

Interesting concept. Love the idea. If you have anything you want to let Americans know, feel free to submit an entry. I will write an entry on Iraq war when I got the time.

Perhaps Singapore should also do this too. So that we can see how others view Singapore.

Some gal cannot make her drunk
Went for a birthday party at the clinic recently. Our mission was simple, make the birthday gal drunk. After I made 3 person drunk in one night at my friend’s wedding, I thought this is going to be simple. But I soon found out that some gal cannot make drunk one. Cause when they are drunk, they do this.

OUCH!!!

If you still have more time to waste, go ahead and waste it on Desktop Tower Defense

Its hard to find anymore spare time after this 2 games. Trust me.

Photoshopped
Not sure if you notice, but the picture of the crossroad in this post was actually photoshopped by me. This picture is actually from the movie castaway. Its the ending where Tom Hanks was standing at a cross road junction thinking where to go next. The original picture looked like this.

Would you notice that I photoshopped the picture if I didn’t tell you?

SPUG is back
The Singapore Palm User Group website is finally back online after being down for nearly 7 month. Missed the forum so much. We had so much fun and laughter in the past.

Things aren’t really the same now. I wonder if SPUG will ever be as strong as it used to be.

Beware of your Hitchoo cards
After the Geek Terminal launch party, I’ve learnt that I have to keep my Hitchoo card in a secure place. What happen was, Uzyn snatched it away from me and took one of the Hitchoo card. I have totally no idea who he gave the Hitchoo card to. I have no problem if he gave to some of the pretty gals around. But really don’t know Uzyn’s taste lor. Wait she give a old lady how?

Anyway, I managed to get back the Hitchoo cards shortly after beating him repeatly on his arms. Like the way he hit me before his Village Talk.

More about Hitchoo
I got an email from Yinghan because I mentioned about Hitchoo cards in my blog. I’m still trying to brainstorm all the areas where Hitchoo can improve on. It’s a very new startup and there are lots and lots of rooms for improvements. It’s nice to see many positive feedbacks on Kevin’s blog.

Don’t think I can release the details from the email. But all I can say is, remember not to give out all your 8 Hitchoo cards. Keep at least one. You’ll find out why soon.

EastCoastLife is the last person you want to seek help from
If you ever get your dick stuck on your zipper, the LAST person you want to seek help from is EastCoastLife (AKA Chio Chio De Aunty). What happened was one of her employee got his dick stuck on the zipper and someone got her to help unstuck the situation.

She twitter for help, shouted in ping.sg shoutbox and blog about the whole incident when its done.

The past was tomorrowed, hardwarezoned, sammyboyed and appearing at many other forums. It even went up Shin Min Daily News on 30th May, front page!

Seriously, if my dick ever got stuck on the zipper, please please please don’t get EastCoastLife to help me.

If you are seeing this page at blogout, a big “HI” to you.

My April’s Fool joke
You know your April’s Fool joke works when it was featured in a blog talking about security.

I’m wondering if I should leave a comment there and tell them its a joke.

Start e-Balloting your NDP tickets now
The annual e-Balloting for NDP tickets is now on. All Singaporean please proceed to the NDP 07 website now.

I wish to say that I’ve never gotten the tickets before. So please please please give it to me this year.

mrbrown is Top 20 Asian progressives
mrbrown is named Top 20 Asian progressives by World Business. Others in the list include country leaders, businessmen etc etc.

Funny, the world most well paid Prime Minister is nowhere found in the list. Maybe his pay still not high enough.

Top contributor for tomorrow.sg
If you notice, I’m currently one of the top contributor for tomorrow.sg. But do you know its actually very easy to be one of the top contributors? Simply submit two article to tomorrow.sg and if both of them get selected, you are in. If two is not enough, then usually three article will do the trick.

I became one of the top contributor by submitting 2 article. Its that simple. Reason being, most people submit article without logging in. Other merely submit one article. So if you submit two or three, you should be inside the top contributor list too. Shhh…. don’t tell too many people.

Job and George
A china colleague of mine told me that he is going Jobstreet later in the afteroon. I was quite shocked that he said that so loudly. If you want to go jobstreet, do it quietly. Why tell the whole office that you are looking for a new job?

It was until further clarification when I found out that he actually meant George Street.

This email is: [X] bloggable [ ] ask first [ ] private

Interesting concept. Perhaps I should follow too.

Give some, take alot
The GST will be increased to 7% in July. Remember to apply for your GST offset package. Oh well… they give us some money, then later going to take a lot back.

Give birth machim like parking in carpark
It sound so weird that KK hospital is going to change their charging scheme to per minute basis. It sound so much like parking your car inside those ERP system where they charge you by the minute.

So will there be a nurse holding a stopwatch to time you? 56 cents per minutes, PUSH, quick PUSH!

Where is Moo?
Found this interesting project by a moo user. They are sending a moo box using snail mail to collect 100 moo cards. Sound cool huh? I’ve applied already. Hope to get the box soon.

Who block me on MSN?
Ever wonder who blocked you on MSN? Well, this site can help solve the mystery. It checks who blocked you or deleted you from their MSN. Nice. I got 4 people in the list. Ouch… How could you all do this to me?

I was surprised that she didn’t block me. Sorry, I was wrong. I keep thinking that you have blocked me. Sorry sorry.

PS: You need to enter your MSN ID and Password. Use at your own risk.

Ham Ham De Uncle also got blog now
Eastcoastlife’s (aka Chio Chio De Aunty) husband boyfriend has just started blogging. Check out his blog here.

Now everyone in his family is blogging except their maid. So when is she starting her blog? Haha.

I think I’ll start a new series in my blog call “Too Long For Twitter, Too Short For Blog” (TLFT TSFB) to record those little thing I’ve encountered. Maybe I’ll make it a weekly one. See how.

Blogger problem
Blogger been pretty buggy lately. Don’t know what is wrong. Can’t comment on some entries. And been wanting to amend my template to add links to some wonderful blogs that I’ve found lately.

Well… Have to wait till they fix the problem.

No more WIFI at Carl’s Jr

Went Suntec Carl’s Jr and discovered that their WIFI is now secured. I guess they forgot to secured it previously. Oh well…. 1 less free WIFI zone. Wireless@sg still sucks.

Searching for Graze Anniversary Party Photos

Someone was searching for the Graze Anniversary Party Photos and found my site. I’m also searching for them. Want to see the one and only picture that I tooked with Veron.

If you found it, please let me know hor.

Chio Chio De Aunty always get what she wants
Went Geylang Serai for supper with Chio Chio De Aunty and Ham Ham De Uncle. They were saying the tissue prata there very nice. But unknown to them, the store don’t make tissue prata on weekends as it takes up too much time.

CCDA went to talk to the cook but he still refused. So no choice, we ordered banana prata. Then we saw someone whom look like the boss. CCDA went chat with the person and discovered that he is indeed the boss. So she told the boss how much we love to try their tissue prata and that I came all the way from Jurong to try it. Haha.

The boss went talk to the cook and we had our tissue prata. This chio chio de aunty always get what she wants.

Beautiful
