I was acting busy AGAIN today and chanced upon this hilarious article written by an icelander about the impending iphone launch outside the US. To quote him "You can’t be cool these days with a Sony Ericcsson. Motorola is so 2006. And forget about those bricks Nokia tries to pass off as phones. Cool is iPhone..." Really? Now where does that leave me - I carry a 2-year-old Samsung that only has basic camera/phone functions. Don't even talk to me about 3G - wtf?

Author goes on to say "While the people of Madagascar, Qatar, Uruguay, New Zealand and the Dominican Republic [and sunny Singapore] will be conference calling one another about how wonderful and hip life is since the dawn of the iPhone, Iceland was not marked in red. In fact, Iceland didn’t even make the map. According to Apple’s forecast, after the launch of the new 3G iPhone there will be nothing but the deep, blue sea between the West coast of Norway and the East coast of Canada. Apparently Apple plans to carpet bomb the North Atlantic with 3G iPhones until the islands of Iceland and Greenland sink back into the ocean whence they came." Well, i must say, he has a knack for words and imagery. Hahahaha.

Singapore [IS marked in RED] and Singaporeans are apparently up in a frenzy over these supposed pieces of cutting-edge technology. Priced at USD199, i heard that you have to write in to SingTel to apply for one of these things and there's no guarantee that you'll get the darn thing. it's up to their discretion who eventually ends up with one! poowee! better make some good friends within SingTel now if you even want to smell one of these babies. GEEK ALERT!! =P

Back To Reality

It's over! We're finally married (in the eyes of the Church!). It was really pretty fun last sat, thank God for the sunny weather (a bit hot lah, but at least it didn't rain till after), for the wonderful guests and my fantastic friends. hope it wasn't too uncomfortable under the sun for everyone.

Back Safe and Sound

This is my first post since we left Bermuda for Singapore more than 3 weeks ago. We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...

IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE CHINESE NEW YEAR!

As I learn about everyone's plans to welcome the Golden Tiger Year, the more unhappy I become.  Although it was a conscious effort on our part to avoid being home for the Lunar New Year, I cannot help but feel left out during this all-important holiday. On this island, we have all but 1 so-called Chinese restaurant.  Every year, they would put up the red banner a few weeks before CNY. One red banner compared to the numerous ones back home.  How pathetic eh? There is no atmosphere whatsoever. With the "influx" of Chinese kids, 4 in total plus 1 soon-to-be-born, I made myself pack some red envelopes from home, so that the kids can experience a little of the festivities that I am so used to.   WHAT IS CHINESE NEW YEAR WITHOUT THE RED PACKETS? This year, we've upgraded our celebration to include mahjong!  yes, the mahjong set and table arrived last weekend.  hao-e couldn't stop himself from ripping the plastic cover off those ivory -coloured tiles and we ...
