Fun at Sentosa for a total of $7.

Went to church today and after service all head toward sentosa. Each person had to pay only $7. Free Water, Free rides (some) Free lunch (8 course meal) included also. Bus transport also provided.
SUPERB DEAL BY MY CHRUCH! (suppose to be a outing to bond everyone)

Saw some kids playing this... my cousin say this thing has been there before sentosa was renovated

The view on top of the 'flying chair' (note the left side)

Preparing for 'LUGE'. A 'car' which can go up to 50km/h (depend how fast you wanna drive)

Ben & Jerry shop. We bought a milk shake for like $7.90 (exxxxxx)

Inside Underwater World

A slacking Swordfish (think he told a lie)

Jellyfish. Very nice.

Jellyfish.

Angelfish. It is very beautiful

Japanese Spider?!? no, It's a yummy crab.

This is a shell of the crab. It says that the crab will 'run away from home' to find a new shell.

Out of the blue this hologram shark came in front of me. It's really BIG


This card is SUPER POWERFUL. FREE ENTRENCE TO EVERYTHING AT SENTOSA! for example: You can sit the cable car free until you puke! (lost it and pay $500) WTFook!!!!
More info about this card: http://www.singapore-attractions.com/family.htm

Wah lau... 1min to reach from point B to point A. I 'drove this' instead of taking the 'flying chair' back. (DIE DIE MUST TRY!!! VERY SHOIK!!)

All thing in sentosa is FREE! Using the card I mention just now.

Before getting into the 'flying chair'


Me and Dear.

If you find that all the rides mention above are not exciting, try LIFTING THE SAFETY BAR IN MID AIR. 101% thrilling.

It's a regret I didn't use the card to sit cable car until I puke. Sentosa is very fun after the renovation. Highly recommened to visit! What is miss is the monorail... now have to take their free bus or tramp to get around. (Warning. die die go and get a map when you reach there.)

Total Damage: $7 (without ice cream, slurpee, 4 AA Energizer Batt)

This is my kind of game.

What women really want...

Have you come across an email which seems to help you translate the meaning of what gals really mean? Like for example "I'm fine"... which actually means she's not.

This is another pack which I've found... from here... hahaha

Translation Table:

When they say: Oh, that's interesting.
What they mean: I don't know what the hell you're talking about. Let's have sex.

When they say: That's cool, I like that too.
What they mean: We don't have anything in common, but I'm going to pretend to like some of the things you like so we can have sex.

When they say: I miss you.
What they mean: I'm horny.

When they say: Nothing's wrong.
What they mean: Pack your bags, because you're going on a one-way guilt trip.

When they say: I love you.
What they mean: For the time being. I'm flaky, so check back two weeks from now, I don't know what the hell love means so I might just change my mind, and besides, I want to have sex and this will give me some leverage.

When they say: How's it going?
What they mean: I'm the center of the universe, don't bother telling me, it won't make a difference. I just want to make it look like I'm not a cold-hearted sex fiend.

When they say: I'm fat.
What they mean: Give me compliments, asshole.

When they say: I care about you.
What they mean: I care about me. Let's have sex.

When they say: Nothing.
What they mean: I wonder if he wants to have sex.

RIP, Microsoft Private Folder 1.0

In a quick turn-around for the company, Microsoft has removed its newly released Private Folder 1.0 application. Private Folder 1.0 allowed customers to encrypt files within a password-protected folder called "My Private Folder" and share those files with friends and colleagues.


Many people and business customers expressed concern over how the application would be used. "Private Folder 1.0 was designed as a benefit for customers running genuine Windows. However, we received feedback about concerns around manageability, data recovery and encryption, and based on that feedback, we are removing the application today. This change will take effect shortly," said a representative for Microsoft to CNET News. While the application was good in thought, the implementation and lackluster documentation of the application left many people wanting more.

It's good to hear that Microsoft took such swift action in removing the application in response to customer complaints. Our own readers expressed their issues with the application when DailyTech's initial article went live. For those who want Microsoft-sponsored user-level file and folder encryption, there's always Windows Vista.

Some Tricks

• Right click on the Desktop and create a new Shortcut
• Point the shortcut to an executable--such as c:\windows\system32\calc.exe
• Call the shortcut www.microsoft.com

It's a season to be jolly

Sat was a busy day. Tried out the bus behind my house which can go directly to sengkang. Reached in around 1hr. This is my primary school friend daughter. Her name is kee-lin and she's one month old!

Don't pray pray, she's sleeping on money ok...

After which I went to a 'free' dinner and dance at Mariott Hotel (near CK tangs), it cost $35 bucks but due to some luck I had this free ticket. This is not some ordinary Dinner & Dance, its where all the people in Singapore Court have their dinner this night. People from SUB Court, Supreme Court (CJ, Registrar, etc...) The theme of the D&D was 'back to school'. Before entering, there was some entertainment and I manage to learn how to spin a plate using a stick. cool.

FYI: My dear was mad enuff to wear school uniform bundle with poly tie there. Instead of a boring eat and go dinner, it was filled with lucky draw in which me and my dear won some popular bookstore and golden village vouchers. (free dinner & $$.. wow) There was also performances and the MC was a bloody joker. The whole crowd was enjoying from what I see. It's cool to be a civil servant.


Grand settings (check out the menus)

This was the first performance. Dead accurate beat and a scottish feel.

NOTE: The MC was a portugal supporter. These cheerleader keep flashing their white panties while doing their stunts... NO WONDER ENGLAND AND BRAZIL LOST. KAOZ. lucky I nv bet.

Reached home around almost midnight. 

Work Work Work

Fix tons of PC at home. RMA Mouse, selling PC stuffs... repairing bios.. what have you.

I'm approaching god mode in PC fixing (and my school gave me B for this subject)

I once came across a problem whereby when I on the PC, the screen is blank and there was no sound or what so ever. Amazing part is that the cd-rom couldn't even eject but the cd-rom was ok when I plugged it into another computer.

I manage to solve it.

I came across another problem where the motherboard couldn't poweron with the CPU. I plug in the CPU to my brother motherboard and even did a CPU test using a software call 'hotcpu tester' the CPU was working well. I went and exchanged the motherboard 3 times. The person say my CPU was 100% spoil. Intel say the motherboard spoil, MSI say the CPU spoil... anyway

I manage to solve it.

Now, I have this PC which is 100% TESTED and working well. JUST THAT I HAVE TO ON IT FOR 1-2 MINS before use. I've done memtest and loop over 1hr of 3Dmark2001. The harddisk is new and without bad sector.

NOW TELL ME HOW TO SOLVE! WTF!

SICK SICK SICK

non stop on/off fever for 3 days.

Thanks dear.

Increasing Client Loyalty

Increasing Client Loyalty

This is one of the best tips I have learnt in my 4 years of computer repair and it is probably the most simple and effective one.

Quite simply, be social with your client and talk to them. This may sound obvious however many people who spend most of their time around computers aren’t the most social people.

There are many computer technicians out there who go to a computer job, fix what they need to, get paid and leave and don’t really talk to their clients.
Every time I am on a computer repair job while I am working, I try to find something to talk to them about whether it is just asking them about their business, how long they have been doing it or how it started. If you are doing home computer repair; ask them about something prominent in their house such as the painting on the wall, the football team flag or their pets. Become a friend.

Talking to a client while you do your work puts them at ease and gives them a sense of trust which can help with getting more word-of-mouth referrals.
In return you will have clients who wouldn’t dare hiring another technician as it would be like ‘betraying a friend’ to them.

Time on the computer job will begin pass quickly because it’s enjoyable and as they say; time flies when your having fun. On some occasions I have even been given free things to eat and drink such as a box of chocolate or a bottle alcohol, but most importantly business opportunities are offered because they feel they can trust me.

On computer repair jobs, you still need to use your best judgment to determine whether the client wants to talk or not. If your client is a large or very busy business sometimes they just want you to come in, fix the problem; don’t bother the employees and go. However some business owners would love to talk and pick your brain for a little while. Take this on a case by case basis. A little PR can go a long way.

Some Superstore service is -_-"

I quitted my job as it was burning all my fun weekend and I got paid lesser but the ironic thing is that I bought my father's day gift from the place that I once work.

It was a 4000 series braun shaver. We were there choosing for around 5mins with nobody serving us until fransin ask one of the promotor if they have a new packet. The promotor choose one of the pack from the same shelf and say that it's new. He then proceed to say that the braun shaver is not that good as it will cut the skin accidently... (I was like huh?)

In order to expose what company he was working for I decided to ask him: "Then what brand do you recommend?" He says 'philips'.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After paying for the braun shaver, I request for the present to be wrapped cos there was only a few people in the store... the gal says that she doesn't know and will try to wrap. (ok, reasonable lah)

After a few mins, my gf ask the gal: can remove the price tag?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was this group of friends who bought this xbox game 3 for $99.90. Problem is that it was in a pack of 4. Before the cashier key in, she asked the group if it was confirm to be 3 for $99 as there seems to be 4 in wrap. The group of friend answered: How we know, it's your store you should know better.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

conclusion: Bad Service.

Lock Locks and more Locks

Drove dad car to work today. Went to fetch dear after her work. Suppose to go Tangs to buy vacuum cleaner but I donno the way end up sending her home. Before that bought some porriage to her house to eat. Watch 'big long towel' after dinner... aka 'da chang jin'

While watching halfway, dear told me that we are 'lock in' in her house as she does not have the keys to open... it sounds ok to me as her neighbours have keys. I ask her to open the door so if the neighbour walk past we can ask the keys. I had an appointment with my client to fix his PC at 8pm plus... luckily the uncle did walk past and we ask him for the keys. Off I go.

Once I reach my car, I couldn't open the car door with my remote... if I tried to open with the key, it would sound the alarm... wth... I called dear and told her I can't drive my own car. Later I attempt to open the car door and the alarm trigger off... even fransin can hear it from her house on the 7th level. WHAT THE HELL! Lucky for me, I manage to ask a person where the hell is the red button to mute the alarm. Took about 10mins and off I go.

Went to collect the PC and drove home. I donno what screws or lock the PC use.. the casing was hard to open... manage to fix the PC in a matter of mins.

kaoz.. whoever invented locks!?!?

p.s: I FINALLY QUIT THAT STUPID COURTS JOB!

It's not some birthday videos, this is where pionner students like us make the management come out with 'NO FOOD AND DRINKS ALLOW IN CLASS' poster. This is where it all started! You won't wanna know what happen to that place after 4pm.

How to cheat in School.

I went to search on the net regarding the lastest trend in school cheating right after watching news that some students uses UV pen to cheat in their exams. IT SOUNDS/LOOK FREAKING COOL TO ME!

I manage to stumble upon this site which I think reflect much about me... meaning, if I had setup a cheating website, it will somehow or rather be 90% same as this.

Bad Salesperson.

IT show is finally over. I've manage to be the overall top salesperson for harvey norman. The earning for 4 days was like >1/3 of fransin pay. Thank God for all the lucky sales and I think I'm really sucker for $_$ as I won't feel hungry if my sales is good. I can eat and survive on one bread for duration of 11hours.

All was well until the last min of the day where I went over to the other company and try my luck. I manage to stumble upon 2 guys customer and I try to clinch the deal with one of them with the knowledge that they are being serve by another gal. They are very keen on a particular model of printer but that printer was sold out. So they had to pre order and collect it from funan centre or sim lim (not sure). As I was working for harvey norman, I had the advantage of asking them to collect any harvey norman that is nearest to their home. I successfully clinch the deal in less then 3min. (I didn't know how long that gal serve them)

It was damn unethical and I only realise that when asking the customer to pay on my side. Althought is only <40% of chance they would buy from them. (as they had only 2 branches in singapore) I feel very bad. what to do? all I can say is sorry. I think the gal is very tulan with me. She complained to the canon gal on her side and I got ticked by that canon gal. Nevertheless, I did apologise for my cutting action and also explain my point that the customer might not buy if its too far away to collect from his home.

kaoz.. I feel like an unethical salesman.

PC Show.

It's the PC show again! This time I'm selling canon printers. If anyone wants to look for a printer, DO FIND ME! I will be near ACER booth.

I find that I'm having a lot of jobs and working non stop but the pay per month is like ****. lolx.

ITE job, freelance job, promotor job, courts job. what have you...

Finally Graduated.

It's a bit disappointing for my parent as I feel that they wanted to attend that graduation ceremony more then me. I had to handle my class and thus won't be able to go.

I want to thank all the fac who have taught me before in any way and a very special thanks to John Young for all the help he has given me.

I also want to thank a 'special' person as I finally got my wish of becoming famous (or should I say infamous) and telling all the fac how good I am with my mouth. Without him, I wouldn't have the chance to voice out my opinion and wouldn't have the chance to know that the poly is improving.

It's a long road ahead.

I wonder if her skirt got ripped off or there was a new constructed swimming pool hidden somewhere near tampines interchange. kudos to this old lady. EVERYONE was staring at her wrinkled butt and you can even see her camel toe if she is standing in front of you. WTFOOK!

I only manage to take the side view... it will be horrfied if I manage to take the back... her hot (or should I say FIRE PANTS or maybe it was just a bikini or was it a panties?) I donno what shorts she was wearing, had only a centre line covering her butt. Her old sagged, wrinkled butt cheeks just blew everyone away. The gals on the right side of the pic was laughing non stop.

On another note, I guess my Toshiba 902T handphone did come in handy after all. (I still like nokia 8250 though)

Got back my laptop yesterday. IBM fixed it in less then 24hrs. I donno what they did, they didn't bother to call me up for the BIOS password also. I think they just replaced the board with a new one. (doesn't look new to me).

Saw the record on IBM list, Manage to change bezel, adaptor, motherboard and keyboard. All free of charge. Amazingly my laptop have not been formatted since day 1 and the batteries still runs fine.

Creative Lab's Statement about X-Fi and nForce4 Sound Issues

http://warp2search.net/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=28523

Creative X-Fi Scandal

http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=Articles&go=read&arc_id=81
Two weeks ago we published an article about Creative X-Fi issues. Here is what’s going on: We have received a lot of positive comments about that article. Recently, we have noticed that this article encouraged Creative’s customers to speak up and complain about the treatment they are receiving. Some people think that we have been unfair with Creative Labs, so about a week ago, we sent emails to Creative Labs’s PR in all regions (Asia, Europe and America) and asked for an explanation regarding all these issues, along with the following questions:

Creative goes to court in bid to block iPod sales in US

http://www.asiaone.com/st/st_20060517_393560.html

I think Creative seriously need to wake up their idea. I have personal experience where I buy cd-rom which is creative brand and I think only 2 out of 10 manage to survive in the end. I believe the only product you can buy from them is their superb sound card. Looking at the first thread I have to think otherwise now.

Some updates.

Recently last sunday (mothers day), I manage to be the pianist for English service. It's a v.big leap for me as this time its not playing and kids singing... every mistake you make will be heard. Moreover, I find that the practice session wasn't enough for me. I find the sound quite horrible during the actual play but thank God its over. I want to thank my friend YuYi for helping me so much in my pianist. It's just amazing and ironic cos my piano skills are only grade 2 and Yuyi is a guy who is expert in guitar and doesn't know how to play the piano... weird rite... a donno piano guy teaching me piano... (I donno how but it works ok)

I manage to get into ITE. I have to learn how to use dreamweaver.

Been fixing some computers as usual.

Getting sick soon.

Finally its time to get a new Motherboard.






The 3 years warranty is almost up. I've manage to change everything except the LCD and the Motherboard. Thank God it's spoil. 

It's a long journey ahead.

Holiday on a 'Hot Air' Balloon









Suppose to meet up with Fransin yesterday at Bugis. Was abit late but thank God that the bus came when I reach the bus stop. What happen next when I board the bus blew me away. I had no money in my translink card and my wallet had $0.00!

wtf!?!? I just can't believe what was happening. There was no ATM in sight too... kaoz.. Went home and play maple again. Told mom what happen and she bought food home.

After eating, I went to bugis. This time I had cash and car. (yes, the 2 Cs) and a Camera (3rd C if you want) Went to a 'hot air' balloon ride... I put a "" because I didn't feel any hot air at all. The hot air balloon ride is somewhere near bugis junction. Cost only $17. You can go in the afternoon or at night. Guess the best time would be 6:30pm. We took the 7:30pm Flight.

Well, no excuse for a 30min 'holiday' up in the air now.

I Dont like Monday

Woke up by the vacuume cleaner again. cos it's my parents off day. My house need has never got spring cleaning before because everyweek everyone is trying to get everything clean.

I'm just so tired due to my 2 days work... I reckon that I would not be that tired if the pay was good. Yes, its all about the $_$.

Thanks dear for sending me home. Donno what happen to me... got the sleepy spell.
