Nuff a Desert? These recent weeks, my nuffnang ad campaigns have been worse then a trickling tap... No ads at all on my blogs... somethings really wrong with Nuffnang, last time, they used to have many global CPC ads, which could at least have compensated for some lack of ad campaigns. It's really getting a waste of blog space for this unused ad slots. Someone told me that Advertlets have better pay out You are baby love... I'm supposed to feel upset.. by somehow or rather, my senses have been numbed.. its all so familliar... so expected... deja vu? Time to give up?

LV says the watches have a floral design similar to its trademarked motif - a flower with four pointed petals. Not only does this create confusion for the consumer, selling lookalike watches in the mass market will also damage LV's image of exclusivity and dilute its Sony, Wake up your idea I finally got my spare USB cable from Sony today.. The fact that there is only one customer support store in the whole of Singapore really makes it inconvenient for users to gain customer support. Moreover, all I needed was a cable, which the counter staff , even claimed that it was a generic part, and yet, they did not have it in stock!!! Just imagine that, I've already been to the place 5 Amber Cuffs I'm just so happy with the workmanship of my cuffs.. so i'm just going to keep this post short and sweet... Happy Mid Autumn Festival Wishing all my blog readers a Happy Mid Autumn Festival... Enjoy eating your mooncakes... Actually, I was looking at the mooncake packaging today and a thought flashed across my mind... look at the amount of packaging that goes into a box on of mooncake.. From the primary packaging, PE trays to plastic packaging to pack them up, smaller boxes to place them in.. to another bigger box on the Eating Snake? Think again.. Came across this video... Moral of the story: Do not film people when they are "eating snake" Apparently, the person who recorded the video: I stress that im not trying to eat full find st to do. I will not do this if they nv guai lan to my dad. The original intention was to go up to the police officer who was extremely extremely unfriendly and rude to my dad(my dad say shouted at him to Payment from EmailCashpro in! Got my payment from Emailcashpro today! It's the first time I received it from them.. I actually opted for the send payment by Paypal option, because the website says that for a cheque of $10 to be sent, there has to be a $1 deduction. So being the Paypal savvy person, I realised that it was not that good to have money sent thru paypal! Why? Because Paypal charged me a transaction fee of SGD SIFST Dinner 2008 Was at the SIFST Annual Dinner 2008 at Swissotel Merchant Court As usual, the annual dinner had many activities.. and I was 'sabo-ed' to participate in the know your wine game.. which was like so difficult!

In Memory of 911 It's been 7 years since the horrific 911 incident that took the world by shock! Hope things will be better... Anyway, for this post, sharing some pictures of the 911 site I took a couple of months back when I was in New York. The work site now: Was told that human remains could still be exacavated during works.Memorial for the firemen that sacrificed during 911: Mooncaked My insurance agent cum childhood friend, Dunstan, gave me this box of mooncakes from renown Hongkong bakery, Kee Wah! It comes in an elegant box.. with individually wrapped mini mooncakes and even a nice canister of tea... Thanks for mooncaking me.... Smells are free.... I was at NTUC Fairprice earlier today when I came across this!!! This lady from the big land opened many different loaves of Sunshine Pandan Flavoured Bread to smell them... and left without buying any! Well, perhaps, she needed to judge the sensory characteristics of pandan leaves before buying them... or that the Big Land doesnt have pandan leaves, except maybe on Hainan Island?

Chendol at Tan Kim Hock Was at Tan Kim Hock to buy some local produce back to Singapore today.. The prices are shockingly high these days.. wonder if its due to inflation too! Anyway, I realised that not all the foods there are even local produce.. I saw quite a lot of Taiwanese mochi and rice bars there too! The effects of globalisation? Anyway, this is their famous chendol store! The dessert as you see here... is Satay Celup in Malacca Had satay celup for dinner in Malacca today.. Somehow or rather... I find it overhyped... It's not as nice as what they claim it is to be on those tourist promotion shows.. Boost Academy Was invited to the launch of Boost Academy today! Boost Academy is a bursary given out by , Wanin Industries, a leading manufacturer and distributor of bottled drinks such as Pere Ocean and Boost Sports Drink, has announced the launch of the Boost Academy to provide much needed support for young talented athletes in Singapore. Significantly this new initiative is launched in partnership with the Vending Machine Woes 2 I simply don't understand... why am I so unlucky with vending machines... Was buying this pack of nuts today to munch on... and the whole pack got stuck into the machine because of the way it was folded when placed into the machine! And when I called the technical service number, they told me that they will refund me if I actually get back to the place another time or asked me to purchase Wall.E Caught Wall.E today at Lido cinema! It was an invitation by a company with plenty of stars attending too like Zhu Houren, Apple Hong, Nick Shen, etc It's a really nice show.. somehow or rather, I feel that its kind of a 'prediction' what the future will be.. when mankind gets too lazy and overly dependent on robots.. and earth's environment is destroyed by the massive amount of undestructible Money from Emailcashpro!!

Hwa Chong Station The Straits Times today carried news on how Hwa Chong is campaigning to rename the Duchess station Hwa Chong station. However, it seems pretty absurd to do so. By naming a MRT station near a school after that school. What happens when the school moves.. like what happened to RJC? Do we have another campaign to rename the station? It makes more sense to call the station Duchess station rather Big 50!!! My readership has just reached 50 000!!! Thanks for the new milestones.. Hope that you all will continue to support my blog! Photo journalism: The now thing of the media I was reading this series of events on the STOMP portal earlier whereby someone went to Sheng Shiong Supermarket and discovered that the frozen goods were not stored properly and snapped a picture. After that, the same person saw some biscuits that were labeled “For sale in Philippines only” and was about to take a photo when a staff accused her loudly of being a troublemaker and coerced her to 'Sataying' in Touch! Had satay at Lau Pa Sat today with the New Yorkers... Yes.. the pictures all had been photoshopped, lest I get accused of posting up their pictures on my blog... haha... It was a great fun night... the rain did not dampen our moods... we ate and laughed so much that people were looking at us... (not unusual anyway) haha... Satay and durians... perfect match! Yummy! Go.. Going... Gone.. My friend sent me a big shot of this Chinese newspaper cutting with screaming big headlines that says "It's been many years, inevitably, I get tired" and sub headings "Lee Jiawei plans to study in Beijing University next year" Well, after all the identity crisis, the flag incident that happened at the Olympics ceremony, our silver girl is going back to her motherland? So much for loyalty?? Crazy Hoarse at MRT The MRT seems to be a place for people to get mad... and shout crazily till hoarse (hence the title) Now this lady is seen hurling obscenties at another one.... This actually reminds me of an incident that happened before Chinese New Year earlier this year.. was with my cousin crossing the road, somewhere near Middle Road across the National Library when this mad women started hurling Money for the silver girls? Have you ever wondered where the money for our Olympic silver girls came from??? I think most came from all our punters buying their 4D, Toto, big sweep.... Food for thought! Acts of Nature... ... Wrath of god... Why such a weird topic for the day?? It's because, during the paper for the Food Marketing and Project Management module.. the lights went off suddenly due to a circuit failure. Our exam venue was the only one affected!!! So you can imagine how lucky or unlucky we were... A pity the paper was not postponed.. Haha.. Anyway.. here's a song that's in sync with the topic.. Tips for getting more readers... Well, this post is specially for the numerous requests I got from other readers on how to increase their viewership of their blogs..
