New toy...

Been too excited and engrossed playing with my new toys that i forget to introduce them.

Within a weekend, particularly the weekend when the PC Show is on-going, i laid my hands on 2 new toys. Woohoo!

First up, the iPod Nano 8GB Black.



It may be a little embarrassing to say, but it is my first ever mp3 player. Hee. Yesh yesh, i once live in the pre-historic age whereby my mobile music player is the discman. Now, i have the iPod, completing my transformation to the 3rd generation. No wait. I mean, completing my transition from the pre-historic age to the present. =)

Next, we have the heavyweight. My brand new ASUS F8Sn Laptop.



I can't tell you how delighted, how happy, how excited i am when i bring this baby home. Finally, a computer to call my own. I can finally use it whenever i want, at any corner in the house i desire without having to share with anyone and surf... um... not so healthy websites freely. In short, it is mine and i am free to do whatever i want with it. =)



Woo...

Miss Swan At Starbucks

Miss Swan? Starbucks? I don't think that is a good day for Starbucks. No wonder they are hiring new baristas...

The Tired Genie

A truck driver was driving down the highway one afternoon when he heard a "pop." Thinking he had blown a tire, he steered the rig onto the shoulder and walked back to check his tires. He found a bottle laying in the gutter. He picked it up and wiped off the label to see what kind of bottle it was when a very old genie popped out.

The genie said, "I'm too old for this! You get one wish -- not three -- just one."

The driver thought long and hard, and finally said, "It would be really nice for all the bridges to be wide enough that over-sized loads could get through without any trouble."

The genie said, "Do you know how many bridges that would be?! Can't you come up with something simpler?"

The driver replied, "How about if you make all the blondes as smart as brunettes?"

The genie shook his head vigorously and answered, "How wide would you like those bridges?"

Titanic life jacket available for auction

Everyone sure has heard of the Unsinkable Titanic. Now, you have a chance to own a part of it.

No no! Not the hull or stern or propeller.

But rather, the life jacket. It will be on auction at New York City on Friday. Experts say it is one of the six that was recovered from Titanic itself, not from survivors. Life jackets recovered from survivors will be in pieces as rescuers will cut the shoulder straps to free the survivors.

PC Show 2008

In case you didn't know, which i doubt so, the PC show is now on-going at Suntec Convention Centre, occupying (gasp) level 3, 4 and 6.

Woah! Look at the size man!

I was there on friday and saturday and it is no joke trying to navigate within the sea of people. What i realised from this PC show is that it is the battle of the brands, literally.

Level 3 was dominated by Singtel and Sony, exposing themselves to anyone wanting to go up to level 4 and 6. Furthermore, Singtel is giving you a MacBook Air (gasp) when you sign up a 3-year interent plan. How cool is that?

Level 4 is the battleground of all the computer brands and the winners are those who occupy a good spot. When you enter the hall, ASUS, acer and Toshiba's booth is just right in front of you. Dell is just right behind, but sadly heavily overshadowed by ASUS and acer. HP is stucked in a corner and sad to say, heavily covered by Toshiba banners. Compaq and Lenovo and also located at a corner and it is kind of hard to see them through Samsung and Sony (again!) banners. I guess you get the picture, right?

Level 6 is dominated by different small companies selling all kind of accessories. From hard disks to thumbdrives to earphones, you can find them all at level 6. The only major brands are Starhub, whose booth and crowd is a far cry from Singtel and Epicentre, the premiun reseller of Apple products. Speaking of Apple, i finally get the chance to have a first-hand look and feel of MacBook Air and boy, it is love at first sight. The feeling of carrying it in your hands is just so cool and it is hard to resist the sleek design. Luckily i am broke or else i might just bring it home. Haha

Drunk Fishing

An extremely drunk fellow decides that he wants to go fishing. He packs up all his tackle and sets out in search of a suitable spot. Eventually, he stumbles across a huge area of ice and decides that he'll give it a go. Taking out a saw from his tackle box, he starts to saw a hole in the ice.

Suddenly, a loud voice booms out at him, "There's no fish in here." The drunk looks all around him but can't see anyone. He decides to ignore the voice and carries on sawing.

Again, the voice booms out, "I've told you once, there's no fish in here!" He looks up again but there's still no sign of anyone so he returns to his task.

"Stop it!" shouts the now very angry sounding voice, "You'd better pack up your stuff and get out of here or there'll be trouble."

"Who are you?" shouts the drunk guy.

"Look," replies the voice, "I'm the manager of this Ice Rink!"

New iPhone

Apple has just announced the launch of iPhone 3G.

Holy Shit.

Furthermore, they are selling it at US$199 for 8GB, US$299 for 16GB.

Convert it back to S$, assuming exchange rate of US$1 = S$1.38,

The bloodly iPhone 3G cost only S$274.62 and S$412.62 respectively!

Can they stop producing cool products to tempt me?

Sperm Bank Robbery

A man wearing a balaclava bursts into a sperm bank with a shot gun. "Open the safe!" he yells at the girl behind the counter.

"But we're not a real bank," replies the girl. "This is a sperm bank, we don't hold money."

"Don't argue! Just open the safe or I'll blow your head off!" he shouts. She obliges and opens the safe door.

"Take one of the bottles and drink it!" he says.

"But it's full of sperm," the girl replies nervously.

"Don't argue, just drink it," he says. She takes off the cap and gulps it down.

"Take out another one and drink it too!" he demands. The girl drinks another one.

Suddenly, the guy pulls off the balaclava and to the girl's amazement it's her husband.

"See, it’s not that difficult is it?" he says.

Back from Kukup...

I am back!

Kukup was fun. BUT! Sad to say, we didn't check out Paintball as planned. Reason? Cause it is too dangerous. Not the game itself, but the area. Heard that the locals there not very friendly lah...

Anyway! We still had fun. Kukup is not your typical tourist attraction. It is more like a weekend getaway. I mean, the only attraction there is the kelongs. What do you think? But i do enjoy taking a break from the hectic lifestyle here in Singapore to enjoy some peace at a sleepy village where the pace of life is significantly slower.

Some pics...
