The White Rabbit

Recently added a new companion to my desk. Her name is Lintzy (I sort of named it without thinking...). Shes a rabbit, though sometimes she's pretty confused as to whether she's a she or a he. Funny 1 liners are her specialty, along with telling me the time, the news, playing jazz radio, and insulting me.
She is Nabaztag, and she didn't come easy.....

Catch her:

iPhone frenzy

The recent launch of the iPhone had set tongues wagging. The good, the bad and the ugly, all in comments in forums, about the usability, functionality, user-friendliness and even to the extent of questioning the iPhone as a credible communications device.

My take: The iPhone is for people who wants it. I believe that for people with certain requirements like enchanced functionality, keypad reliance (sms for normal phones) and loads of customisation.... the iPhone is not for you. Most, if not all people, buy the iPhone for some simple reasons:

1. They want it.
2. They love it.
3. They prefer form over function.
4. They weigh the touch functionality over everything else.
5. And last but not least, they want to make money from it by contracting to a plan, buying it for 0 - 500 dollars and selling it for SGD1400.00 :)

Simple, easy, clean and concise.

Singapore - KL - Tanjung Jara

Tuesday's road trip started off from the Shangri'La @ 8.30am, and we reached Tanjung Jara Resort at 7pm, stopping by KL for lunch.


1 Audi RS4, 1 Subaru WRX, 2 Porsche GT3s and our big ass Ssangyong Stavic. We were lagging behind most of the time. To make matters worse, we had to repair a flat........

Our return trip back to Singapore was uneventful. The "super car" convoys had already departed way before we did, and we de-toured to Sepang race track before we came back to Singapore. The only highlight of the return trip, was that we ran into the traffic police twice..... I think its a conspiracy....

Of time



Haven't had much time to myself until lately. I signed up for gym (finally, again), made improvements to my parents' multimedia capabilities on the telly (HDD player), bought Nabaztag (a fad), increased my appetite, bought clothes online..... many things I either had no time for or simply couldn't care less to do.

Given all that, I still have a long list of things I intend to do, and I think I'll have to spread them out evenly before I overdose on self-indulgence.

More updates soon. Meanwhile, I leave an assortment of photos from the past few months' absence.
