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

Happy Easter!

Busy Easter weekend! Got my screening report from the doctors on Thursday, I have to cut down on sugars, oily food and carbs.... uhoh, nothing about the lumps so i'm grateful. Marc Jacobs bag arrived in the evening, woohoo!   Good Friday was spent in Church and shopping at Sim Lim Square for Hao-e's new PC. Pilates on Saturday morning after a week's break, super out of shape.  think i should probably start doing some exercises at home and maybe go for swim downstairs when i get a chance. Chewy had a good scrubbing session at noon then off to watch Le Noir at Sands Theatre on Saturday afternoon, fun! Cousin-in-law's wedding dinner at Conrad on Saturday evening, no shark's fin which was a bummer. Easter mass on Sunday morning followed by Qingming thingamie at Mt Vernon. Sunday brunch at York Hotel's Penang Hawker Buffet, yum! Watched 1.5 movies too - GI Joe (meh) and SVFV (vulgar).  SVFV was the movie that  was banned and made the h...

The Tudors

I just realised how good looking Jonathon Rhys Meyers is? Gosh, i just love his chiseled face and beautiful eyes. Anyway, so i chanced upon this new series loosely based on THE Henry VIII, second king of the Tudor Dynasty. You guys should watch it if you are as besotted with him and as fascinated with anything royal as i am. hehe.... So i went to find out a bit more about the rather infamous king on wiki and here's some trivia about his eventful life ( i bet, with so many women around him?!) Technically, Henry was only married twice. Four of his marriages were annulled which means they never took place. His court jester was named Will Somers . The only surviving piece of clothing worn by Henry VIII is a cap of maintenance , awarded to the Mayor of Waterford , along with a bearing sword, in 1536 . It currently resides in the Waterford Museum of Treasures . Henry VIII was the first member of the English Royal Family to wear silk stockings.

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh. (*_*)
