Cheeky Monkey
We meant to go Zouk yesterday but a private NUS Bash was on, so we headed to Cheeky Monkey at Mohamed Sultan instead. Charlene, Jean and others got there first, with more joining later. The hip-hop wasn't my thing.

My New Router
A busy stretch, though I should stay home more. On Monday I was home all afternoon, then went jogging with Calvin and YongTang. Three weeks since my last jog, I managed only five rounds at 12 minutes before stopping.
Eventful Weekend
An extremely long post. On Friday I went to school for a job-hunting talk; it was okay, though much of it overlapped my Technical Business and Communication module. I dropped by Food Court 6 but didn't eat, still full.
Nice Weather
The weather is lovely today; rain is always the best time for laksa or steamboat. So I went with my mom for Depot Road laksa. It's also our internship's last day, though I've school tomorrow for a job-hunting talk.
Linkin Park Coming To Singapore
Linkin Park are coming to Singapore on Tuesday, 22nd June 2004, at the Padang. I'm 101% going to miss it, since I'll be in camp. It's a standing show with at least 20,000 tickets available.
Removing Sasser Worm
First, to stop your computer restarting automatically, go to Run and type shutdown -a. Then download the patch from Microsoft, for Windows XP or Windows 2000/2003, install it, and download the removal tool to clear the Sasser worm.
Funny: Company Memo
I saw this funny article on the last page of 8 Days issue 709 and liked it enough to share. It's a Company Memo welcoming staff back after Labour Day and advising of new rules now in force.
The Punisher
I saw The Punisher last night, quite a good movie with a decent storyline and action, definitely better than Daredevil; a must-watch for Marvel fans. It opens in Singapore around the second week of June.
Nike Cap
Yesterday I shopped with Jackey and Li Xiang, from Wheelock all the way to Plaza Singapura. I bought a Nike cap for $23 for army use. We had dinner at Ajisen Ramen in Plaza Singapura.
W32.Sasser.worm
A few of my friends are already infected by this very widespread virus, even though the patch was released weeks ago. If you got infected, you deserved it; be a responsible user and keep your Windows up to date.
50 First Dates
We had our ninth weekly dinner at Novena Square. We'd gone for the Malaysia Tour Fair and, unsure what to eat, settled on Magic Wok on the top level when we spotted it. The food was average but quite cheap.
Ayer Rajah Building Cave-in
Remember I asked what would happen next in Singapore? One dead, five missing, fifteen injured in an Ayer Rajah building cave-in. Singapore has been very eventful lately. A grim reminder of how quickly things can go wrong here.
Meeting With ICT’s Director
On Tuesday I met the backpacking crew, Jackey, Laily, Li Xiang, Terry and Suqin, at Queensway Shopping Centre to collect the bags they ordered on Sunday. We had dinner at Alexandra Village, ordering our usual sambal kangkong, beancurd and stingray.
Weekend Recap
On Saturday I went out with Calvin and JingWei to Suntec and tried Burger King's new burger, which was average, the new cheese nuggets too; I still prefer the cheese sticks. We spent the whole time talking about NS.
Clark Quay
I had my weekly dinner at Clarke Quay, eating at Quayside Grilled Seafood. The food was decent and reasonably priced, with excellent service at first that dropped off as we finished. We then had gelato at Liang Court.
Some Rants
StarHub MaxOnline was down for over 15 minutes yesterday. I first thought it was just me, but after texting and calling friends, I realised it was all of Singapore. I tried their hotline, but it was engaged the whole time.
Kill Bill Vol 2
Kill Bill Vol 2 opens in Singapore tomorrow, finally rated M18; I doubt they'll censor much, as it isn't as gory as Vol 1. It runs about two hours, but Vol 1 had more fight scenes.
Ichi The Killer
I watched Ichi the Killer, a very gross movie; Kill Bill is nothing compared to it. Overall it was okay, but the ending is very weird. I also downloaded Zatoichi, an NC16 film that's good.
My New Crumpler Bag
Yesterday, after dropping my brother at tuition, I went to Tampines Mall. The whole area was packed with nowhere to park, likely due to a national Monopoly competition, so my dad parked at an HDB carpark above the S-11 coffeeshop.
Starsky And Hutch
I went to school yesterday to collect a letter, a last attempt to take three days' leave from PTP. According to the Tekong staff, you should be able to get three days off during PTP.
Movies & Images
My ITP is more or less done, with only testing and debugging left. I went jogging with friends at Queenstown Stadium and finally ran 2.4km non-stop, also training pull-ups. I hope to add 400m each week and improve before PTP.
Got My 3rd Month Pay
We were meant to jog at Queenstown Stadium, but a soccer match was on, so we went back to SP. The track was dark but cool, and I managed 2km without stopping, though my timing wasn't great.
