Windows Longhorn “Aero” Gallery

Some shots and dots of the upcoming successor of windows xp, the Windows Longhorn "Aero" design. When the Windows XP "Luna" user interface was revealed in February 2001, the Windows User Experience team took great pleasure when they verified that I had never seen a leaked copy of the UI before the official unveiling. I decided, at that...

28th BSLC graduation

*wakes up after 14 hours of hiberation* And so... the 32km graduation route march is over, so is the passing out parade and the receiving of my CPL rank, all yesterday... It was really a tough day on thursday night, the whole school literally marched 32km from thursday night all into friday's late morning, where we had breakfast...

Dinner @ Tony Romas

Mmmm, its sunday today, a good time to stay at home to rest, relax and watch some VCDs on the computer. Yesterday, saturday was very much of a busy day for me: Its time again where my mum's old friends from UK, London fly over with their families for a visit, and its pretty much an annual...

Camp stuff & Networking for dummies

A good way to end the 2nd last week in Sispec- take a non stop 12km run, said OC to the company. And yea there we went like brainless fools, like him running madly. So why the sour grape? It was definitely of achievable distance, but the heck? we are only expected to run only 7km as...

Medical Appointment

Warcraft 3

Finally managed to find some time to play Warcraft 3: Frozen Trone up to the 6th mission this morning and to update this blog too. So much time spent away from my computer and things start to get fragmented and messed up from everyday family use (and yea, do I have to be the computer admin in...

Sleepless weekends

This blog entry will cover the last two days, as I am quite busy lately, *sighs* didn't have time to catch any movies this week, but did had a good dinner at MK restaurants' steamboat buffet on Saturday night. Not bad I say, very value for money at about $23 per head. And yea, the sashimi bar...

Orchard shopping

Its catching up time at orchard again so its shop shop shop. Coincidentally, my sister is involved with some 2 day cultural show at the orchard park (opposite borders), so kinda dropped by to say hi, before heading for dinner at Golden Mile steamboat resturant. As usual, the place is always packed with people, so kinda waited...

Siemens SX1

And now a phone to end my search, and too, a potential succesor of my old Siemens SL45i Mp3 phone, the SX1. Expected to be released in Aug this year, its one phone I would drool for, (though expecting a high price for it) being a Siemens fan myself (*gone are nokia phones man!*) This one is as...

Back Back, then movies and back again

And so, I am back from the tekong resort from the 7.30pm fastcraft. Then it was Terminator 3 at Tampanies.

CSv1.6

Tried out Valves' Steam 2.0 program today (after an unsuccessful try few months ago), and what else can you do with Steam but to try out CSv1.6 with it? Heh.. after a few rounds of test-fraggin online, its not bad I say... esp the new guns, ricochet sounds, game physics and game interface. But overall, the game...

Just for laughs.

Just came back from a late night show, Charlie Angels- full trottle. And these are shows which makes you wonder how ridiculous certain stunts can possibility turn out into- all with pin-point accuracy and its "always something there for them!" All in hand, it appeals to the general audience with a all good happy ending (like the...

Wonders of tidying your room

As chaotic as it looks, its time I started tidying my room... again!
