High on Melamine

September 25, 2008

Following the milk crisis in China, I received a phone call from RS just now.

"I saw your 米果卷 on tv!!!"
Huh really ah?
"Ya. U still have them right? Dun eat ler hor."
Huh...my favourite ley. I bought 4 packs from Beijing!!!

I distributed 1 pack amongst my friends, gave 1 pack to rs, ate up 1 pack and I'm left with this pack. Now all my friends and I are high on melamine. Gulps.

Lucky Me

One night, I checked my nus mail and saw this email:

CONGRATULATIONS!

You have won the FIRST prize, worth SGD$250 of shopping vouchers for the category of Local Interaction, International Exchange Day Photo Contest!

Woohoo!

This is the photo that won me $250.

It was taken by RS using his handphone K800i so I'm going to share my prize with him!

It goes to show that u don't need a superb camera to win a photo contest. Hoho.

Change is the only constant in life

September 02, 2008

I spent 1 hr trying to install the new IE8.0 beta 2 version only to uninstall it after using it for 5 mins. SmartScreen Filter, Live search, Search Suggestions, Web Slices, Accelerators, so many buttons, the drop-down list just doesn't appear when I click on the address bar, it's just too overwhelming with so many new and unncessary features. I just want the tab function so that I don't have so many windows at the bottom of my screen. Not all those useless buttons! Arghh! (Flustered) Got rid of them all and now I'm back to my old IE; simple and user-friendly.

Previously, I was so used to the old msn (before live messenger) I just refused to use the new one that everyone was already using. I still remember whenever I signed in there will be a pop-up saying 'A new version of messenger is now available' and I'll just X it. I was forced to change when msn refused to let me sign in unless I upgrade to live messenger. Now, there's another new version of live messenger that I saw my sisters using. I guess I'll just continue using till I get phased out again. Hah.

Clearly, I'm one who doesn't like changes. As one gets older, it's even harder to change. Change handphone, change software, change job, change environment, change bf, change change change. Everyone knows that change is the only constant in life. Sometimes it's just a matter of getting used to it I suppose. Maybe next time u'll see me still using Windows Xp when everyone's already using Windows Vista. Wait till I get phased out again. Hah.
