		<title>How to meet your MP?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We had fun meeting the MP last night. MP stands for Member of Parliament. People in Singapore are taken care by different MP assigned based on location/region. The MP is similar to the magistrate of the olden China where people beat the drum to complain about injustice. This is the first time for us to do so. I have outlined the procedure below:
1. Register with your I/C. They will assign a number to you. They will also ask you whether this is your first time here. Find a place to wait.
2. Report your problem to ...

		<title>How to boost your old PC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My PC is getting old but that does not mean i am going to throw it away. My issue was i had a Core 2 Quad cpu. It is still able to offer me the horsepower i need. I tried to shop new rams without success until tonight. The last round, the seller told me to upgrade my motherboard to use the new DDR3 rams. I was tempted to but after a few months, i noticed the DDR2 rams price has dropped further. Here i decided to share some tips ...

		<title>iPad 2 is coming &#8211; why you should not wait</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You should be seeing many reports of &#8220;iPad 2&#8243; in the news, the newspapers and on the internet.  Did you realise that they were not announced by Apple? Isn&#8217;t it strange Apple has been keeping secret?
After reading so many of such reports, i found that they are starting to repeat. Most people do not have anything new to add to it. People are guessing. It will have better resolution, it will have front and back camera, it will have USB port etc. Does anyone know how difficult it will be ...

		<title>Asus Xonar DX</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After reading so much bad reviews of the onboard sound chip, i finally decided to get a standalone sound card. I also gained insight into the different pricing strategy:
1. Expensive and Very Good
2. Expensive and No Good
3. Cheap and Good
4. Very Cheap and Never Good
I decided on the ASUS Xonar DX after reading some reviews online. This sound card is not a latest technology product. In fact it was selling since 2008. I did not do much homework on this. You can google/yahoo it to find them.
It belongs to the ...

		<title>PayPal problem &#8211; update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My PayPal problem has came to an end. I approached my credit card bank to do the reversal. Filled up all the forms etc to show that the merchant is not responsing to my emails and also PayPal unwilling to offer assistance. With such adverse situation, there should be no reason for anyone else not to offer their help.
Many thanks to the OCBC bank and those staffs who have helped me. I know i could depend on you.

		<title>Series of product failure &#8211; DVD writer issue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I made a honest mistake and bought a wrong dvd writer. I have mistaken the Labeltag (from Lite-on) and Labelflash (from Yamaha) to be the same.
Nevertheless, i noticed i have been able to copy the Japan Hour image from the DVD recordable at 5 mins! When i was still on the old IDE writer, i need around 30 mins to copy 2 x 1 GB files. When i used my USB external writer, i can copy the same files in around 17 mins. This new SATA writer can do it ...

		<title>Singapore Formula 1 is unsuitable for women</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went to the Singapore Formula 1 this year. The pass was for the Padang Grandstand.
I also managed to secure another pass so that i can bring my gf to experience the Singapore Formula 1. After we passed the security check point and crossed the bridge, the whole thing turned ugly. I felt the organizer could have done better.
1. It was s nice idea for them to cover the Padang field with some foam material. However, when we stepped on them, muddy water quickly filled in from underneath. It has ...

		<title>Series of product failure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently i have encountered a series of product failure. Let me list down what have failed so far:
1. WD 250GB hard drive (made in 2004)
2. Lite-on DVD writer (made in Dec 2005)
3. Tissot T-touch watch (failed twice during the 2 years warranty period)
4. Seagate 500GB hard drive data corruption
5. A-Data 512MB DDR2 memory
How did i suffer such misfortune? Well, if you look at the above list, many of the parts were very old. The first 3 parts have moving internal components. I am certain it was due to wear and ...

		<title>PayPal problem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
There is a Chinese saying, if you climb the mountain frequently, you bound to meet the tiger!
In the same way, PayPal has been so easy to use to make online payment, i have been using it more often than before until i met the &#8220;tiger&#8221;! I used to receive very good service from PayPal to safe guard my interest for buying things and service online. It was so easy and they offer consumer protection. I have always given them high rating and try to recommend others to do so. This ...

		<title>Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I decided to pick up the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 to many people&#8217;s surprise. Below are my initial impression of this product:
1. Physical
Very light &#8211; It weighs just 540 grams (with battery). The bulk of the construction is plastic which means &#8220;not so good&#8221; to some people. BUT it depends on how you see this area. Do you want to bring a much heavier camera such as the commonly used magnesium alloy that weighs around 1 kg? I have used a setup that consisted of a DSLR + 70 &#8211; 200mm ...
