Birmingham Boys

Goodbye geylang, I'm one of the boys now. I just moved in to the most eligible bachelors pad, I just joined the so called Birmingham boys. I know I'm gonna miss the 7/11 midnight birthday celebration, the monthly cleaning and cookout, and the overnight DVD movies with Omar. Really blessed and thankful to God for the brothers though one is married and the other is goin to canada soon, I really learned alot from them.
And now I am just as excited to another chapter of my life with the birmingham boyz I heard a lot of great stuff about them, and looking forward to have a great fellowship with them.

Just to show you the mighty man I'm going to live with...What an awesome privilege I have.

Can Coke + Chocolate Bar = FIRE

HOWTO start a fire with a Coke can and a chocolate bar?

I could'nt believe it a can of coke and chocolate bar can create a 'Fire' I'm talking about real fire not the fire that you feel when you are craving for sugar by drinking cans of coke and eating your favorite chocolate bars.

Now I have a new experiment to try and a reason to add this to my shopping list buy a pack of coke and toblerone bar. And besides diabetis for too much sugar you can start a fire too thanks to McGyver.

My IPOD (Birthday Gift) Apple vs. Strawberry

I love my new toy IPOD yes this is a birthday gift from my friends(sooo blessed! thank you guys!)... nope its not IPOD U2 Special Edition because I think its not worth it to pay for an extra 100 bucks just for a color and the U2 CD. So what I did is I just bought a black skin for my IPOD from Funan IT Mall.

Well I am not an Apple lover but this is one of the few products they have that I like. Feature wise are very nice slick design but I hate white colors... and one thing that I hate about this toy is recording quality SUCKS!!! some of the songs I downloaded are skipping just like listening to a pirated CD... but note that I dont buy pirated I have all original CD musics.


Anyways I am still trying to find the solution for that... but I am enjoying this because first its a gift from my friends and second its a new gadget for me to play around. But I am still not for Apple....I would rather have strawberry (ok my Uncle BILL calling bye!)

IPOD01
Model: IPOD (4G wheel click)
Storage: 20GB
Battery Life: Up to 12 hours
Capacity: Up to 5,000 songs

Cover: Black - iSkin EVo2

DVD Movie Nights

I borrow another sets of DVD movies today... So I'm scheduling my week of Movie Nights, not that I'm bored with local TV shows, not because of the price increase of cinemas, but just want to spend time at home alone. (friends told me sign of old age...like noo way) And actually just to watch some of the movies that I missed in the Cinema.

Here are the list:
1. ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND
2. BEYOND BORDERS
3. FINDING NEVERLAND


Yes have I mentioned about the price increase...
Standard cinema admission price in singapore for all days in a week and the revised changes which will take effect as of 1st May 2005:
* Monday to Thursday (before 5pm) : $6.50 (Revised price: $7)
* Thursday (after 5pm), Friday & Eve of Public Holidays (before 5pm) : $7.50 (Revised Price: $8)
* Friday (after 5pm), Saturday, Sunday, Eve of Public Holidays (after 5pm), Public Holidays and Midnight sessions: $8.50 (Revised Price: $9.50)

I recently watched the following DVD's...
and here is my short Reviews & Ratings:
  • RAY
    The life and career of the legendary popular musician, Ray Charles.
    (I love the story! Jaime Fox really deserves award of Best Actor in this movie)
    My Rating: 5 Chocolate Chips And 1 Large Coke

  • FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX
    An action-adventure in which a plane crash in a remote area of China leaves 10 people stranded. Facing overwhelming odds and not sure if they will even be missed, they must overcome a series of impossible challenges.
    (I wonder why do they still make this kind of movie... But in fairness Giovanni Ribisi acts well as a Elliot the model plane designer)
    My Rating: 1 Oreo without the fillings

  • AFTER THE SUNSET
    The story of what happens after a master thief achieves his last big score, when the FBI agent who promised he'd capture him is about to do just that.
    (I love movies of Mr Bond(Pierce Bronsnan) and include the sexy latina Salma Hayek and the funny lines of Woody Harrelson well I like it! and the view of the beach is really nice! My dream place... )
    My Rating: 2 Bars of KitKat

    Spring Cleaning Day

    Today is office spring cleaning, Still wonder why we call it spring cleaning when there is no spring season here in singapore? It's obviously summer all year round. Anyways, the good thing is at least got to wear casual to work (jeans and shirt) and today I am clearing up those old files throwing away all those old documents.

    My Workspace
    workarea
    you see what I mean?

    Well you know it's really interesting what you can find when you do clear up old files and pile of junks from those cabinets that hasn't been open for ages.

    for example....
    floppydisk
    This is a 5 ¼ floppy disk I know some of you don't even know or have seen a floppy disk before.

    oldlaptop
    Well this is what I call a dinosaur laptop... brand ACER really old but take note its still running... so wondering what I could do with this laptop? hmmmmm... maybe give it to my linux addict friends.

    xerox
    This is really amazing I did'nt know that we have a portable xerox machine before until I saw this from the cabinet.

    oldprojector
    Ohhh and this is really a classic... would you believe that this is a projector?
    But haven't tried yet if it's still working, but really looks cool. My friend and I was wondering if we could sell this at E-bay maybe we could make some money for this since this thing will be in trash can soon?

    Anyways I think spring cleaning is really good I could make some breathing space in my area. And trash all those junk that I have under my table.

    If any of you is interested In those stuff just msg me and well make arrangement. Or who knows maybe someday I'll have my own museum and you'll see all of my collection.
