Woke up at 11am, went with her to Tiong Bahru Plaza to eat Burger King, long time since we ate it. We used to go Suntec’s MacDonalds or Burger King last time after school. Hehe

Send her to Eunos then came back home and sleep, didn’t catch much sleep the night before. Seems like Tiong Bahru Plaza’s bus-stop is flooded with people, I think because most of them are waiting for the Sentosa buses and further more there is a pasar malam(night market) there.

Sleep till 7pm then went to visit my grandpa, had dinner at Toa Payoh Lorong 8 Market. Been at least 3 months since I last visit my grandpa. Always my parents went and I didn’t go with them because I went out.

Parents send me home after that and they proceed to Carrefour to buy stuffs as today Carrefour opened till midnight. Will be going to buy my OP shirt and shorts tomorrow. Hehe.

Watched Die Another Day at Great World City, movie lasted 2 hours, nice show, because almost every minute there is action. But if you are those movie goers that go for story line, well this show is not suitable for you.

Ate steamboat for dinner at home, my mom really prepared so much food when there is only 5 of us. So much left over, think will be eating steamboat tomorrow also.

My secondary classmate told me that one of our classmate who went to Australia for study is suddenly back in Singapore, he wanted to meet us today, but so happen many things clashed today, my polymates BBQ, and movie/steamboat. Hope will be meeting him soon.

Keep this blog a short one today.

Today marks the end of the fasting period for the muslim and this day is known as Hari Raya Puasa.

Just came back from supper at Henderson Market, as usual ate the Yong Tao Foo there, waited for 1 hour just to eat it, the stall auntie always serves people they know first, in another words cutting queue, and that sucks.

Filled up the application form for my Debit Card for OCBC, my mom will be submitting the form on Saturday for me. Hope can get it very soon, the best before Christmas. Hehe.

Will be watching Die Another Day with Lian later at GV Great World City, then after that going home with Lian for dinner, mom cooking steamboat. My classmates are also having a BBQ today at East Coast, but too bad couldn’t join them because my I am eating steamboat dinner at home. Hope all of them will enjoy themselves there.

The server load is still so high, do not know what is wrong.

Woke up at 1.30pm today although I sleep at 12mn yesterday, the more I sleep, the more comfortable to sleep. LOL. Meet my dad at the coffeshop for lunch, ate Lor Mee, he went fishing at Sentosa the bridge, caught nothing. While eating his friend say that in the future crystal will replace silicon in computer chips. Sounds interesting, and in order to cut crystal you need diamond cutter. By the way, he is the salesman of the diamond cutter. LOL.

After eating, dad fetch me to mom’s office took the remaining pictures of the products. Accompany Lian to Tiong Bahru Plaza after work to eat KFC’s SoftServe Ice-Cream, then send her to Eunos.

Booked the ticket for Die Another Day at GV Great World City on Friday, 6th December 2002. Quite empty at the time of booking, sat quite far back and middles sits. Hehe. Thats the advantage of Credit Card booking, no need queue up to buy tickets and can choose sits. 2 more days to Hari Raya Puasa. Woo.

The server has been acting weird tonight, the load averages all above 1.0, where it should be under 0.5. Hmmm

Ate lunch with Lian at my house downstairs coffee-shop, the 2nd batch is completed, the pictures of the 4th batch has been taken, still got some left, will be taking it tomorrow at my mom’s office. Lian will not be coming my house tomorrow because my mom’s clerk got something on and will be leaving early, so she need to cover her work. Further more my mom got a meeting at 3pm tomorrow with Bread Talk’s manager.

So I will be going my mom’s office at about 2pm to take the remaining pictures and accompany Lian. Hehe

Sighz, accidentally deleted away all my Inbox Messages of my fone, damm “Delete All Messages In Inbox” feature, lost all my recent messages, lucky I got backup it on my computer but it is dated 21st October 2002, no choice, infra over all the messages and ask Lian send me some messages also. What an unlucky moment.

Fixed a b2calendar.php bug now it doesn’t show comment counts because if the comment count is 0, the post will not be displayed. Lian completed half of the Chinese New Year header which will be used later on next year for Chinese New Year. Hehe

That’s all for today folks.

Nothing really interesting happen today, went to Tiong Bahru Plaza for lunch, ate the Fish Claypot Rice, got scolding by Lian for eating the burnt rice, I ate it because burnt rice is the best part of the Claypot Rice. LOL

Left 1 product’s price my mom missed out, other than that the 2nd batch can be considered done. Will be taking pictures of the 4th batch tomorrow, these pictures will not be put up in the internet, rather it will be used for catalog.

Came back did the Christmas header, of course the snow and snowman is not done by me, but by Lian. She is just so pro in drawing. Speaking of Christmas, it is 23 days more till it. Hehe

The old ripper is back, ripping Paranoia’s picture and Markism Wallpaper, but this time, Orientek is taking serious action about it. Check out this thread.

We have reached the last month of the year, before you know it, it is year 2003. How time flies as there is a saying, “Time And Tide Wait For No Man”.

Went to eat supper last night at Henderson Market at about 12.30am, ate the Yong Tao Foo there, queued for 30 minutes before it is our turn, it is very cheap, almost everything is priced at 20 cents. Thought it was good, but after eating it, it is just average, the only thing special is that they put chili padi into the soup.

Woke up at 1.30pm today, ya I know it is very late, but I slept at 4am the night before. LOL. Went to SITEX again with my mom and uncle, my mom went there to buy the Cannon all-in-one machine, can fax, print and scan, for the office. It cost $799, usual price is $1099, somemore got free 3 black ink cartridge and 1 colour ink cartridge.

Wanted to eat Prawn Noodles at East Coast, but it is sold out, ended up eating up Fried Hokkien Mee at some coffeshop, but surprisingly, it tastes good.

Came back backup my stuffs onto the Zip disc, it is very slow, transferring 300+mb of data take about 30 minutes, maybe because of my USB port is version 1 and my damm USB 2.0 card doesn’t work on my computer, will have to live with it till I reformat my computer and install the USB 2.0 card.

Talk to Lian on the phone for about 30 minutes then watch television, A Man Called Hero on channel 8. Still can remember my friend used to called it “My Father Called Hero”. ROFLMAO

Woo, sorry for the late post was busy almost for the whole day.

Played Warcraft 3 yesterday night with Reaper and DeMoBLiTzer after an inactive period of 2 months, abit rusty for the 1st round, after the 2nd and 3rd round finally got back my skills. Hehe

Followed my mom to the office in the morning at about 8.30am to take pictures of the 3rd batch of products. Ate breakfast at Pasir Panjang Market, ate the Hainanese vegetable rice, Lian and my mom ate the famous duck noodle. Hehe. Took about 40 different products pictures this time, so total products pictures taken will be 50 + 42 + 40 = 132, from 1st batch to 3rd batch.

After Lian’s work went to Orchard to shop around, drank the Cookie Spin from Spinelli, it taste good, wanted something new because I always drink the Banana Spin. Wanted to eat Marche at Hereen at first but the queue is so damm long, so called my parents to change venue to Suntec’s City Marche.

When we reached there, the queue was also damm long. We decided not to eat Marche, went to Suntec’s City basement for a walk to see what to eat, almost all the restaurants have queue, and the queue is not that short. We decided to settle for Fish & Co instead, the queue was the shortest among all the restraints.

After dinner sent Lian home, followed by sending my brother to Coastal Sands chalet. Came back watched Unbeatables 3 on tape, hehe my mom taped it =P

Went to Great World City to eat lunch with my mom, bro and of course Lian. Ate the teppanyaki there, long time since I ate it. Hehe.

Later on went to M1 to buy Lian’s Nokia 8250, my mom paid for her first because she didn’t bring along her money and it is my fault because I forgot to tell her that there is an M1 shop there. Hehe.

Came back did the image resizing and added contrast and brightness to it. This batch there are a total of 43 products compared to last batch which had 50 products. Tomorrow will be doing in the product entry to the website. This should take about 2 to 3 days.

After sending Lian to Eunos MRT, came back to Tiong Bahru to meet my secondary school friends for a movie at Great World City again. Watched GhostShip again as most of them haven’t watched it yet, so I don’t really mind watching it again because I only need to pay $4 and they pay the rest for me. LOL

Ate dinner ate Great World City foodcourt again, ate Fried Beef with Ginger And Spring Onion With Rice, the food taste quite good and price is quite reasonable, $4.30.

Came back look through Computer Times, saw the Iomega offer they having at Sitex 2002, 750MB Zip Drive for $298, upon any purchase of a 750MB Zip Drive, entitles you to buy 2 750MB Zip Disc for only $1. That is a very good offer. The drive alone at Sim Lim Square cost $268(cheapest) and one 750MB Zip Disc cost about $20. Woo can’t wait to get my hands on it on Saturday. Hehe

Again went to Tiong Bahru Plaza for lunch, nothing much to eat at my house’s below coffeeshops(there are 2). Ate the vegetable rice, wow most expensive vegetable rice I have eaten, 2 meat and 2 vegetables cost $5, Lian ate 1 meat and 3 vegetables cost $4. But lucky the food isn’t so bad.

Finished capturing all the product images and tracing it out on Adobe PhotoShop 7(Lian is very fast and precise in this). Pro. If I was to do it, think will take half a day. Hehe

Called up M1 hotline to ask about the Nokia 8250 price and trading in stuffs. 2 years plan or upgrade entitles you to buy Nokia 8250 for only $98, and the offer ends this Friday. If Lian trade in her Nokia 8210 for $150 with M1, and the new phone cost only $98, the remaining money which is $52 will be forfeited. This is so cheaty, but that is the business world.

Told Lian about this, and the original plan was to buy the phone on Saturday, but due to the promotion deadline is on Friday, think will have to buy it on Friday. Hehe luckily my mom wanted to buy Lian Nokia 8210 for $150 for her office, thus Lian can get $52 in cash to buy Christmas presents. Hehe

My uncle came at night to fix my PCI to USB card on my computer, still could not get it to work, same error, “Data Is Invalid”. His office computer is able to detect it and works perfectly, he also tested it on my brother’s computer, also auto detect and works perfectly. Arrr, so the problems lies with my damm computer, don’t know whether it is Windows XP or my ABIT motherboard fault. Make me so fustrated.
