The My Humps song

Thursday, 16 November 2006, 1:09 am, YXN

Yk didn’t know this song… So i’m posting this for him…

My Humps - Black Eyed Peas

Don’t get me wrong… I don’t condone such songs or MTVs…

But he didn’t even know the origins of the “Mai Hiam” song… Which is pretty worrying…

Cousin’s Wedding

Monday, 13 November 2006, 12:10 am, me

My cousin got married yesterday.

She was so excited/nervous that she forgot her marriage vows. Not that her husband nor anyone cared for that matter.

Anyway on to the more important thing: the reception!

Here’s a glimpse of what we had.

MusselsMany many mussels. Mmm.

and…

Chocolate Fountain
Chocolate fountain with bowls full of strawberries!

I don’t think I’ve ever had so many strawberries in one sitting before. And they just kept refilling, until I just couldn’t eat any more.

Can you imagine that? Having too much strawberries? Ahh…

Burrrp

Sunday, 12 November 2006, 12:32 am, me

This happened last Tues on the way home after cell meeting.

Soph and I stopped by Cheers to get two drinks — Lemon Lime and Bitters and Ginger Beer, which are carbonated drink.

While waiting at the busstop, Sophia burped. Which isn’t something uncommon but what’s funny was cos she has always touted her burps to be nice and melodious. However in reality it sounds really bad.

In my attempt to record more burps from her, the following “podcast” was created.


Soph burped at 03:08, just when a truck drove past.

Shorty after I stopped the recording, Soph let out another big one.

Oops… It’s Halloween

Friday, 3 November 2006, 1:16 am, me

I didn’t realise it was the day again.

As in I knew it was Halloween, with all the media attention around but somehow I forgot its significance. And Yixin had to remind me.

“Hey you didn’t blog”
“Er… yah… why should I?”
“Cos it’s Halloween”
“And so…?”
“You blog every Halloween!”
“Oh! Oops… heh”

Oh well, things do slip away with time I guess. Anyway, Happy Belated Halloween y’all.

Shopping at Challenger

Sunday, 29 October 2006, 11:41 pm, me

Dropped by Funan today with Isaac, on the way home from town. And of course, every trip to Funan must include shopping at the biggest computer mega-store in town - Challenger.

Normally there’s nothing much to report in Challenger cos there’s just too many nice things to see. But today there were a few interesting items on display.

Extension Sockets on Sale

Hmm… Ordinary extension cords on sale.

Was looking at extension cords because I recently bought one from NTUC. I actually needed a 6m long cord but since they were all 3m ones, I was just checking out what nice features these might have, when this particular brand caught Isaac’s eye.

What a brand

What?! PMS extension!

Hahahaha… Now who would want a PMS extension?! What a wrong name to brand your product.

Next up I was looking around the antivirus section cos I am currently looking at alternative antivirus solutions (ok and so the boxes were also pretty), when I came upon this:

Norman Antivirus
Norman Antivirus? Cheong one ah?

I didn’t know antivirus software also got people want to imitate…

In the games section we came across a whole slew of tycoon games.

Tycon Series

Isaac suggested they should come out with “University Tycoon”. Build your own university in a small but global nation with only people as its resource.

The next item wasn’t really found at Funan’s Challenger but at East Point’s! Whoo hoo! See East Point is one of the best shopping malls in Singapore. Maybe I’ll post an entry on that next time.

Anyway the next item deserves a post on its own so scroll down to the next entry.

propan-2-ol (CH3CHOHCH3)

Sunday, 29 October 2006, 11:41 am, me

It all started with Yixin wanting to hang her photos on her wall.

3M Picture Hanging Strips

So we went to look for hanging solutions which does not permanently damage or scar her wall, and found 3M Picture Hanging Strips, with Command™ Adhesive, offering firm holding power and clean stretch removal for damage-free organizing and decorating.

The instructions of the hanging strips said to use “isopropyl rubbing alcohol” to clean the wall surface before use.

Isopropyl alcohol sounds like some cheem chemical but if you go to any hardware store, I almost gurantee you that you won’t be able to find it there.

“We only have solvents like thinner” they told me and suggested Yixin to use it.

What?! Use thinner on your newly painted walls?! Think sometimes you should learn to discern the sales person from the expert.

Anyway, I could kinda guess what isopropyl alcohol is. And where exactly to get it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isopropyl alcohol (also isopropanol or rubbing alcohol) is a common name for propan-2-ol, a colorless, flammable chemical compound with a strong odor. It has the chemical formula CH3CHOHCH3, and is the simplest example of a secondary alcohol, where the alcohol carbon is attached to two other carbons. It is an isomer of propanol.

So guessed what it is? Here’s where you can find lots of it… in Challenger.

Alcohol Cleaners
Products with isopropyl alcohol.

Hahaha… most of us would probably have one of these lying around at home, or used it before. It used to be quite popular as your simple floppy disk drive cleaner.

Here’s one with 100% isopropyl alcohol:

100% Pure
Label says: Contains pure 100% ISOPROPYL Alcohol

So silly. Such a simple and basic solution. I remember using it to clean my keyboards and mouse in the past and almost anything with it.

So versatile our disk cleaning solution is.

Note: Photos were taken with my new Sony Ericsson k610im. Notice that it doesn’t come with macro mode or close focus. Will post about it soon.
