Do you like your iphone?

I asked my sister this question in the morning. Her answer is YES! The Apple iphone is imperfect. You cant bluetooth music or transfer files like Word doc or pdf into it as easy as the other telephone vendors. These are small pain compared to what i and maybe many others had underwent in the past.
I got my iphone 3GS sometime in Oct 2009. Since then, my godsis is on iphone, my sister is on iphone and my gf is on iphone. There has been a series of conversion to …

Green gone wrong

Your email: 

I read an interesting article by Devin Leonard a few days ago. This article was published in one of the local free paper, mypaper. Its title is “Go green? Just buy less stuff”. I have included some quotes that were of interest:
“one of the biggest business stories was how large corporations were going to save the planet and make billions of dollars for their shareholders at the same time.”
“consumers who load up their shopping carts with organic food, for instance, may be unwittingly subsidising big farm companies that are …

There is a bug in this mission. If you choose the Easy mode, it is possible you wont be able to complete this mission. I tried. You will get stuck at the last objective – Defend the VIP convey. The convey wont move at all. After i tried the Normal mode, it will move.
Mission 2: bad to Worse
Nothing much challenging here.
Mission 3: Hard Choices
Nothing much challenging here. Just save your game …

Command & Conquer 4 Tiberian Twilight

My sister bought this game for me on the 22 Mar 10. The game cost SG$69.90. There were a few free gifts that came with it. There is C&C4 bag, a L-size t-shirt and a race queens calendar. On the game box, there was a 3D picture of the game cover. The game came in 1 x DVDROM. It used up to 10GB of hard drive space and after that it runs from the hard drive without the disc. Strangely the game requires internet even when playing Solo in the …

大人の科学 – otonanokagaku – Part 2

My girlfriend brought a present with her when she visited me last week. It was a 35mm twin lens camera and you need to assemble it by yourself. It has been very long time since i tried to read a japanese instruction. Furthermore, we discovered several labeling mistakes in the assembling instructions. We discovered them thanks to its high definition diagrams of the parts. If you are working on them, remember to double check on the publisher website for the amendment.
Assembling the camera took us around 4 hours. Beside the …

Sony Ericsson MS500 bluetooth speaker

Yes! The Sony Ericsson MS500 is available in Singapore now!I happened to take a walk in the Funan Challenger tonight and i spotted it. I have been on the lookout for it since its press release in March this year. When i was on my Taiwan trip, i was also checking out this Sony Ericsson MS500 at their outlets. I must be still in Great Singapore Sale (GSS) mood because i quickly grab one, pay for it with my Maybank Master Card, tear open the box, load in the batteries …

Since the last time i have posted this article, i have been playing both Patapon 1 and Patapon 2 concurrently. Both games have helped to improve my rhythm sense. I have killed the Dodonga and continue with the missions. It appears that it is easier to maintain in Fever mode for Patapon 2 then Patapon 1. For those interested, i saw the Patapon 1 game selling for SGD$39 at the Bugis. It is a good buy.

OTO Power Tap

This is the first time I bought an OTO product.  OTO and OSIM are popular names  in the healthcare industry. They came up with many innovative health products. I have been suffering from regular stiff shoulder from my work due to the lengthy time required to sit in front of the notebook. Also there is the Great Singapore Sales (GSS) 2009 going on, you usually get additional discount and free gift.  So I decided to drop by their showroom and test it out.

The OTO Power Tap (model PT-708):
The device is …

PSP Patapon 2

Yes, the part 2 of the game is here! I started playing the part 2 first but i was still not very good with the rhythm. I am still stuck with the killing the Dodonga mission. I am unable to maintain the Fever mode. My vocal teacher, Wu Jia Ming lao shi,  has told me my rhythm sense is not very good. I am hoping this game will improve my rhythm sense. Let us see how it goes.
