Hi guys and girls, I am back from Thailand. Yesterday when I came home and I on the power of the main switch in my room, I saw a very bright white flare coming out from my cable modem for 3 seconds, and seconds later, I can smell the smoke coming out of my cable modem. And my cable modem is fried.

My old modem lasted me for 6 years. I think it is time for it to RIP. Went to buy a new Motorola Cable Modem (SB5101) from Plaza Singapura’s Starhub shop. Cost me around $99.23.

Will be posting blog about my Thailand trip and uploading the photos taken (about 390) as soon as possible.

Stay tuned.
