mini sound monster - X-MINI

So excited to get have these for the road trip. Incredible music at an affordable price and size. The music doesn't even crackle at the highest volume. Crazy. Price? This x-mini v1.1 is only $29.90. yummy.

The most crazy is that it's designed and produced locally. We're the first to come up with capsule speakers! Singapore rawks.

SMAB adventure begins

Boomz pink luggage from ES. 

I'm going with a clueless mind... not sure what to expect... abit apprehensive about left hand drive in the strange familiar big apple. Whether I'll recover soon enough for the whirlwind tour remains a question. I need to also devise a plan on how to lug back shopping loots.

These are happy problems though. Trust me, I'm not complaining at all.

Boomz way to celebrate my 30! See u next month!

This is what I call a real GE

This is how a real GE should be like. Exciting, controversial and with everyone feeling that they have a stake in the future of our beloved nation.

I struggled to stay up to watch the results despite having worked in the killing heat for 15 hrs. KO at 1am and caught up with the news the next day.

WP won Aljunied GRC and Hougang SMC securing 6 seats in parliament. Compared to the pathetic 2 seats in the last 5 years, I think this is a feat and indeed a watershed election.

I'm not pro-opposition but I would like to see how the close margins would transform PAP. I'm a firm believer of competition and how it can bring about constant improvement to make things better.

For those who cannot accept the results and thinking of moving house in fear of property devaluation, shut up and move on. Democracy will die in your hands if you were in the political arena. There are bigger issues than this.

Let's give them a chance to really see what they can do. We are only giving them 5 years to prove themselves and it's a pretty reasonable timeframe.

Ganbatte Singapore!

I dont like to share.

I need to rant it out. Here!

I borrowed my office camera for a site visit and seeing my other colleague needed the camera for her site recce, I offered the camera to her. But hao xin no hao bao one... Somehow she passed the camera to someone else n end up my pictures were deleted! I Have not downloaded lor! Firstly, I think u should remind the person that Shirle chew's pics r inside he camera and pls pass the camera back to het after u downloaded yours. Secondly, what's the hurry to deleted those 30 pics from the camera which has 4 bloody GB of space!!!

After the trauma, I thought that probably the pics could be in that person's comp trashbin which means still retrievable! No... That person has to clear the pics from the camera itself. Who the hell does that????

It might just be a case of miscommunication but doesn't deny me of the right to be pissed.

PISSED

I shall bring my own camera next time.

Elections fever..I've had enough

I'm never into political stuff. The only time I will bother to read about them is when it's part of my school textbook. Even though so, still a really involuntary and grouchy reader. It's dry, it's boring and maybe I'm too in my own world to care about who becomes government.

I must say I am very proud of myself this year. I actually know who LTK, Sylvia Lim, TPL and NS are, read through all the FB posts (not that I wanted to, coz FB is flooded with it!! I'll come to that later.), googled a few rally videos and even know how NS's bf looks like.

Social media should get the most credit for this.

What's meant to be a personal opinion when posted to the social network, becomes bigger than that. A politically retard like me actually holds some vague opinions about the various parties now. I asked myself why. It was all the FB posts, articles and videos, taking effect. And I believe I'm not the only one. A simple opinion you might have like "I think PXP can be better." can snowball into "PXP runs singapore like a private company, profit-thirty firm.....blah..blah."

It's crazy. The power of these little nuggets of news you read and hear about. Gunpowder smell was strong among some of the posts where people who commented held opposing views. scary.

I hold a simple view. Go with your heart. If you are a contented person, vote for them. We cannot deny that they have done a good job and I believe it would not get worse if they continue. The question is if it could get better.

If you think they can make a difference and the risk is worth it, vote for them. There's no right and wrong and you're just exercising your right as a citizen. Sad but true, we are brought up in a risk-adverse culture. If it ain't broken, don't fix it. What if you create new cracks while trying to fix it? What if it works even better after you fix it? You decide.

People have been slamming the opps that they have not revealed any conclusive plans in the rallies so far. Stuff they said were targeted at putting the other party down and some very broad future plans. I think that's really normal psychological warfare.

Who would be interested in listening to the detailed boring 5-10 year plan for Singapore at the sardine-packed rally? Let's keep that for parliament meetings and budget speech. More than half the people are at the rallies to seek immediate comfort in knowing that the person on stage understands how the average Singaporean is feeling. It does not matter that they do not have the concrete plans as yet. The assurance that they understand your needs already made it a battle half-won. The boring long term plan? That can come later. Clearly, the smart move is to maximise the short 1 week time you have to rally for support.

Yup. Being a political retard, I am on the fence. To think more objectively, I am going to start my cooling period today. And about the cooling off day. It's really dumb. What can change in a day before the elections??

Let's all start now people.

30 April 2011 - TVB concert

Happy labour day everyone. Thank you for working hard!

Ironically, I did not have a good rest this long weekend, jam-packed with activities. Phew. One of which was the TVB male leads concert which was a gift from my colleagues. A dream come true to see my Bosco LIVE? haha. More often I saw him through my camera lens. Intentionally lugged my DSLR with super zoom lens just to see if pictures would turn out better than normal compact cam. Pics at concerts with normal cams are usually disappointing. I set it to manual mode and the quality of pics were good considering I was sitting at the far side of the stage and really maxed out my zoom. 

Bosco was a scrawny hyper monkey that night. He's so much skinnier than on TV! The songs they sang were mostly in Cantonese except for Moses who sang English and Mandarin songs. Bosco was the only one who bothered to ask if we preferred him to speak in Canto or Mandarin. Probably coz he has a pretty decent command of mandarin. heh. 

After watching this concert, an immese urge for a MD concert multiplied within mochi. Not becoz it was a fantastic concert but coz the singing and musical part of it was so weak that I made me love my MD more. I need a good concert. Anytime.
