I just bought a charger for rechargeable batteries today.
It says "new cute, compact design" on the packaging.

However,

my old rechargeable battery charger I got 5 years ago has the exact same design as my new one. (Just that the words printed on it are different) =.=

My first paper is on Sat and yet I'm finding it so hard to focus!!
I guess the only way to make me study is to confiscate my phone and ipod cos I cant stop looking at them!

And I cant believe I'll be flying off to America in 3 weeks' time. I'm looking forward to the experience but at the same time I hope it doesn't come too soon cos I know that I'll be missing my family and friends badly. Sobs. And I still got lots of preparation work to do. For example, I got to set up my webcam and stuff at home so I can videocall my parents when I'm in US. And I still haven settled the phone stuff. Should I bring my SG sim card there or should I just freeze my line over here? And which stuff should I bring and which not to? Should I get a new camera or bring my 5 mega pixel cranky cam? Argh Major headache..!

Some people only want to talk. They don't listen.

epicentre service SUXXXXXXXXXXXX

I'm so so PISSED OFF!!

I just got an ipod touch 4 days ago and there's something wrong with my built-in speakers, the songs all sound like i'm playing through a radio with very bad reception. And i'm not talking about rock songs by linkin park or paramore. Even slow songs like Halo by Beyonce oso sound as bad on my ipod!!

The staff at the retail outlet also think that the speakers are defective lor, but they need a report from the service centre b4 they can replace my faulty ipod with a new one. But the cocky technical staff at the Wheelock place service centre refused to admit that my speakers are faulty. He's the typical act-cool act-japanese-but-phail type of ah beng. He refused to admit that there's sth wrong with my ipod and instead kept insisting it's because the songs i play have very heavy bass. So sian diao. I wont be so angry if he's polite but he speaks in a belittling manner. He really deserves some ass-kicking.

So a word of advice to ppl who are going to get the ipod touch, dun be fooled by the online reviews saying that the built-in speakers are fantastic cos mine is proof that the speakers are of low quality. Even my cheapo 20 dollar eeyore speaker i got from gift shop sounds better than the ipod.

Doggies

My dream is to keep a dog in the future. And I always thought that the hardest part would be to get my mum's consent.
Unexpectedly, after asking her about it, she actually told me she wouldn't object to it provided I have the financial means and time to take care of the dog myself. Weeeee!

So I went through the list of HDB approved dog breeds and painstakingly google-d every single one for pictures and some basic info.

My favourite species, the Siberian Husky, is definitely not HDB approved because of its large size. =(


Fortunately, there is another breed, the Alaskan Klee Kai, which is a husky look-alike but smaller in size. In fact, it is a spitz species and small spitz species are allowed in HDBs. =) But the down side is this species is relatively new and extremely rare. It will definitely cost a bomb and even if I have the money, it's hard to find a seller in Singapore.


Other than the above 2 species, I have also thought of getting a Papillon (Butterfly Dog). Sometime ago, I've seen one in the Pets Kampong at Yew Tee Point. It was put on a leash and tied to the counter of the pet shop. It was shivering all over and its barks were very soft and high pitched. I went forward to stroke it and immediately fell in love with the species.


Another beautiful breed that caught my eye would be the shetland sheepdog, also known as sheltie. I really think it looks a lot like rough collies except that shelties are smaller.


Such beautiful dogs, but right now I can only search for pictures and videos online since it'll be quite sometime before I get my own income to support a dog.

Head & Shoulders

Everyone knows that "Head & Shoulders" is a shampoo brand.
I still remember the first time I used "Head & Shoulders" shampoo was when I was a child. Guess what I did? I got misled by the brand name so I really used the shampoo to wash my hair and shoulders. It's so silly..

Stunning Paper Structure - Castle on the Ocean

I was reading BBC Knowledge magazine when I read an article on this amazing paper craft. The creator, Wataru Itou from Toyko, took 4 years to design and build this structure. See there's a ferris wheel in the castle and it also has a train moving in it!!



Unfortunately, Wataru intends to burn down his art piece after the exibition. What a pity. More pictures are shown in this blog >> http://tokyobling.wordpress.com/2009/07/01/a-paper-craft-castle-on-the-ocean/
