//* Singapore River, a thunderstorm & a 64MB CF *//

 

Took some pictures at the Singapore River this afternoon. Actually ran out of space in the CF card by the time I crossed Cavenagh Bridge, but it was just as well because it started to rain. Luckily I managed to reach the Coffee Bean outlet at the other end of Boat Quay before it became a thunderstorm. There was nothing else to do except to sit facing the river and enjoy a glass of latte while waiting for the rain to stop. By the river bank, there were some tables with umbrellas and there were three girls enjoying themselves taking pictures of one another. Behind me, this nice-looking girl accidentally spilled her glass of coffee. It took about 20 minutes for the rain to subside. I decided I needed more than the 8MB CF card in the camera; so when I found a shop at Funan selling a 64MB Sandisk CF for $60, it's mine.

//* Help with domain name *//

I'm certain I want to move out of Blogspot to DifferentHost and get a domain name now. But I'm really stuck at choosing the domain name. So I am opening it up to the regular visitors here (and there aren't many of you) to think of a domain name for me. Since I can have sub-domains, I thought I will be able to host your blogs under the same domain as well - complimentary, of course. So it is like choosing a domain name for yourself also. So start thinking and please give me your ideas, ok?

//* YACCS code upgrade *//

If you are using YACCS, you have to upgrade to a new YACCS code. I upgraded this morning. I'm also customising the comments template so that it has the same look and feel as my main page.

//* World Cup sites *//



If you don't know the event of the year is the World Cup, where have you been?? Soccernet has just launched their own World Cup site. Check it out!

//* No SPUG *//

SPUG is now totally down! We were able to use spug.net address in place of spug.org over the last few days. But now, even www.spug.net is also inaccessible. :(

//* mozblog *//

This is posted from mozblog! It is a add-on to the Mozilla web browser that enables people to blog while surfing. If you use Mozilla, you have to try this! I love it - it's coolness personified!! :)))

//* Until next season... Adieus! *//

It's bye bye to the Premier League title this season for Liverpool after losing 1 - 0 to Spurs. :~(((

//* Busy-ness *//

I have been kept so occupied that I have not posted for a few days. There's been an air of busy-ness in the office, but there are now more face-to-face smiles than arguments over email. The inter-team workflow has evolved over the past few months and everyone has more or less adapted to it. Those involved in the EK project are bonding quite nicely to meet the brought forward deadline. At least now, I won't be feeling a sense of dread going back to office on Monday. :)

Still remember I mentioned about getting my friend a belated birthday present? After procrastinating for so long, finally shopped with her at Isetan Scotts after work just now and bought her a handbag she chose. She said she will carry it to work tomorrow. Also treated her to dinner at Sushi Teh. Had wanted to go to Sakae Sushi, but she insisted on walking down to Paragon for Sushi Teh. I obliged her, of course. Well, it's for her birthday, isn't it? :)

//* Peng-san...:((( *//

Today whole day I have meetings non-stop until I almost peng-san liao! Feel so tired! Wanted to go for a jog in the evening but people kept coming to see me until just now. So didn't go. Sigh...:(( Ok, so late already still in office - time to go home liao! :)

//* Missing images *//

Some images on this page are not displaying because the site where they are hosted, Homex, is down. It has been down for the whole day. :((

Update@8.40pm: Ok now.

//* Didn't do much *//

In the end we didn't do much. There was some mis-communication such that Steve, Collin and me went to HMV only to realise that Rose was unaware of the meeting place. So we went to meet her up at Clarke Quay instead. Rachel and Imelda did not make it. So the four of us have our makan at Hong Kong Street in Clarke Quay. Rose talked about her staff, her bosses, etc. She is working at Virgin Mobile and apparently, it is a cool, fun place to work - I'm so envious. :) We adjourned to a nearby pub after dinner. We ordered some housepour, and continued chatting, taking a few pictures with the DC I have brought along in the process. We left about finishing the three jugs. I reached home at about midnight after sending Rose back to her flat at Serangoon North in a cab. It has been a tiring day, and the quiet evening of food and drinks has probably been better than a wild night at Mohd Sultan.

//* Partying tonight *//

I am going pubbing tonight - with the 'former CS" gang. Dunno where we are going yet, but I know it's going to be fun!! Look out for the night's stories tomorrow, right here at Journey of My Thoughts...hehe!

//* My desktop *//



Nice?

//* Star Wars in Hokkien *//

Star Wars in Hokkien! From Power 98. Simply hilarious!

Saw someone during lunch just now - a friend from my NUS days. I couldn't recall her name and so didn't dare to say hello. I have a feeling that she recognises me, too, but she probably couldn't remember where and when we met. She was my junior at NUS and we were in the Graduation Ball committee. I have volunteered to make a video to commemorate our graduation. I didn't have a video cam and so I borrowed hers. I still vaguely remember the times when we were shooting around campus and then editing the footage together. I had feelings for her, but there was nothing more. It was a very short period of time and we never meet again after I graduated, that is, until today. I hope she's doing well. Hopefully I'll see her again and have the courage to say hello.

I remember her name now - Pearl.

//* Bejeweled *//

I have just become the 883th best player of Bejeweled with an all-time personal high score of 69870! Hehe...

//* Ice Age *//

Went to watch Ice Age with Alex & Trevor. Actually wanted to catch A Beautiful Mind, but it was not showing at Tiong Bahru. I have not watched a movie for a long time. The last one was Monsters, Inc and the one before that was Shrek! Don't get me wrong - I'm not a hardcore fan of animation movies, it's just coincidence. Ice Age is not really that nice a show. I still like Shrek and Monsters, Inc much better than this one.

//* Insured *//

I am looking at the referral form and wondering whose name and phone number I should put. I have promised Rosanna to fax her the form in the afternoon. But I have left the form at home, and anyway, I don't know who I can refer to her. I dread having to give friend's phone numbers to insurance agents, although as my agents, they have served me well. I have actually invested quite a bit into insurance policies since I started working. I think I have about 10 policies now! A number of them are mainly investment plans though. So I suppose you can say I'm making my money work really hard. :)

//* w.bloggar *//

Found an even better blogger client - w.bloggar. Has all the features that blogBuddy lacks, sports a fantastic UI and is still freeware! And this software is made in Brazil. It's simply awesome! Obviously, this very post has to be posted from w.bloggar, and many many more hereafter.
