Steve Jobs announced Apple iPod Nano on the 7th September 2005.

Project Superstar
WeiLian won although I was hoping for Kelly to win, never vote for any because I think it is a waste of money. 1 sms $0.60. With $0.60 I can buy 1 can of drink to quince my thirst.

I think this Project Superstar is so much bigger than Singapore Idol as a whole and that makes Singapore Idol sucks. =D

Pepper Lunch
There is this new Japanese restaurant called Pepper Lunch at Ngee Ann City, just opposite Yoshinoya. They served Teppanyaki type of food like steak, chicken or hamburger onto a very special hot plate which is being heated to 200 degree celcius then slowly cooled down. Vegetables that go along with the meat includes bean sprout, carrot and long beans. They have sauces like garlic soy and honey mustard to go along with the meat. The butter is very special. Good service by the staff there. The steak + hamburger set with rice and drink cost $14.80. It is something special but I think more work can be done in the marinating of the meat. Taste abit plain.

Sony Ericsson W800i
My brother upgraded his M1 line and bought Sony Ericsson W800i for $888 before $120 rebate. The set includes 2x 512mb memory stick if you are wondering.

Land Of The Dead
Caught Land Of The Dead 2 weeks ago at GV Grand. Quite a good show, I think is better than Dawn Of The Dead and Resident Evil 2. I love Zombies and War movies but it seems to me that there are no upcoming movies of that genre. Resident Evil the movie will have another 2 more installations. The 3rd movie is called Resident Evil: After Life which will come only in 2006.

Army Stuffs
My section mate/batch boy got his last finger cut seriously when we are removing the flag poles for Guard Of honor. Imagine how heavy a flag pole is and the flag pole that cut his finger was the state flag pole meaning it is the biggest and heaviest among all. It is so serious that he has a 2 months MC, and need to go minor operation and when that finger is fully recovered, he cannot bend his last finger fully. He is aiming for downgrading, which I think he should.

Charlie And The Chocolate Factory
Caught this movie at Cineleisure, been some time since I watched movie at Cineleisure. Movie was quite good, short, sweet and pretty straightforward. If you read the book, then I would recommend you to watch this movie. Ate Subway for lunch, now I am kinda addicted to Subway. 1 foot long oven baked turkey breast with extra cheese and extra ham filled with tomatoes, onions and lettuces, top with sweet onion sauce together with the soup of the day and a medium drink. $15.60 for 2 persons meal.

Mos Burger has a new soup, clam chowder. Don’t taste that good if you ask me. Still prefer the corn soup.

Caught The Island last Sunday at GV Grand. It is a good show and the scenes is set in the future and all those gadgets they have are way cool, especially the table size tablet pc. I am going to get that when it is available next time. The story is about human cloning and I believe what is shown in the movie may just happen in the future. Imagine one day you open the door and you saw a person who looks exactly like you standing outside. Freaky isn’t it?

Caught Stealth yesterday at GV Marina. It was a 2 hour non-stop action pack show, the director Rob Cohen who directed Fast and Furious and xXx never fails to keep us locked in our seat and eyes glued on the big screen. I read 8 days saying that 1 of the explosion scene in the movie was so big that it could be seen from space and they have to register it with NASA, I am still figuring out which scene is it. Anyway, I think the possibility for a fighter jet to pilot itself in the future is very high especially UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is quite popular now. As what the actor said, I think next time war will be like playing computer games just like playing Command and Conquer. There will not be a stealth 2 directed by Rob Cohen, because he do not believe in sequel. That is why he did not direct 2 Fast 2 Furious and xXx2 .

The next version of Windows will be named Windows Vista, whose previous codename is called Windows Longhorn.

Personal preference I still prefer the name XP than Vista. I think in 2006 we will see a series of software that ends with Vista. For example Office Vista.

War Of The World
Caught War Of the World last week at GV Plaza, show is around 150 minutes. The starting of the show was ok, but the ending kinda sucks. The show is very similar to Half-Life 2 storyline. 3 legged machines destroying through cities. But thumbs up for the creativity. Independence Day was much better if you are wondering.

Suppose to have dinner at the Pasta Bar at Ngee Ang City, but it has closed for renovation and due to open in August 2005. They didn’t even put a sign telling that they are going to renovate. At first I thought it just disappeared, but after asking the food outlet opposite it selling Japanese Curry Rice, they told me that there are renovating.
