Last but not least, this isn’t an item, just a plan. I managed to convince the SingNet manager to give me a past promo of $36.90/month for 8Mbps SingNet Broadband, 24 months contract. She’s a very nice lady who listened to what I have to say and offered her help. Lucky me. Imagine I save at least $20/month as I no need the lousy and sucky freebies in this COMEX 2008. =X But… the line will only be activated on the 8th Sept 08, which is Next Monday. Good game!

Lack of updates
Aug 26th
Hi guys and girls,
As you all know, my internet plan got terminated and now I’m using temp internet. Thus, for the next few days, I would not be blogging on a daily basis. Stay tuned for the upcoming COMEX starting thurs at suntec.
Estimated time of return: Next week
Happy Birthday Dad
Aug 24th
Today’s my dad’s 48th Birthday. On behalf of family and friends, I would like to wish him Happy Birthday!
Incompetent Singnet
Aug 24th
Sigh. First thing I wake up, I on my computer, logged in and noticed my internet cannot connect at all. So I thought my router or my line got problem again so I tried to connect afew times before i realised that today is the termination date. That’s weird.
Long story short, Yes! I did request for a termination roughly 2 weeks ago due to very intermittent connections, like disconnecting every 5 mins. They said they will need 7 days to process the whole thing. I had no objections and carried on with it as my next billing date is only on the 24th. However, last week, I wanted to try salvage the situation and Singtel finally agreed to send both a engineer and a technican to come to my house to do a detailed line check. After much diagnosis, they finally concluded that it’s the cable outside my house to the singtel point that’s the problem and they will request for a contractor to rerun the cable for me FOC. I was grateful and immediately called up Singnet Broadband to recall me termination. The customer service officer confirmed on the retraction. A few days ago, I was worried so I decided to call SNBB for reconfirm the recallation of termination. Again, the CSO assured that the plan will still ongoing.
But guess what, today, after some testing from the first paragraph of this post, I noticed that my snbb 10Mbps plan has been terminated. I double confirmed by trying to sign in to my singnet mail and it stated “no such id”. Good grace, I have been a SNBB customer for at least 5 years and now they pull this kind of stun on me.
Now you are wondering.. how did I manage to blog this post? Well, Starhub recently has a Hubstation trial going out and some bros from Hardwarezone posted the invite to us. I decided to take the 1 month trial to test the Hubstation (all SCV channels included) with 1Mbps cable connection. So, yup, I am using the 1Mbps now.
Now I am wondering, if Singnet could screw up a small thing like this, would I be safe if I continue with them? Or should I go cable?
Feel free to give me your feedback. Thanks for hearing my rant. Geez.
Singapore Ladies Standard
Aug 23rd
Wow, I can’t believe I saw this off a blog. I really makes my think, how high expectations most Singapore ladies have these days. Especially for this one, she doesn’t even look at herself in the mirror first.
Perhaps I should start looking for an overseas gf, who are much less demanding and more loving and they don’t really care how much you really earn as long as you love them. France? Japan? Korea? Ok, I’m dreaming, perhaps Malaysia, Taiwan, China or Thailand. 
As quoted from her blog…
I’m ONLY attracted to above-average looking WHITE caucasian males who have their own business, financially stable who are flexible, spontenous, fun loving, generous, humorous, caring personality, genuine, loves to travel around the world, enjoys great food and wine, good sense of rythm, creative kind of person.
Would like to have someone who is mature, but fun loving, caring, self-driven, someone who is born to be a leader.
My idea guy : someone who is exciting, talented, confident but humble. It certainly helps if he has good looks too 
he should be understanding, patient, fit and healthy, charming, intelligent, success in career (or working towards there). Being supportive and positive helps a lot in the relationship.
I am looking for someone who is good looking, sincere, confident, smart ,interesting and well travelled. Someone who is also spontaneous and have a lot of energy.
THE PARTNER I AM LOOKING FOR HAS TO BE KIND, GENEROUS, LOADED WITH A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOUR WHO CAN MAKE ME LAUGH, CAN TAKE LIFE EASY BUT HAS TO BE SERIOUS WHEN NEEDED & HAS THE SAME PRINCIPLES (AS ABOVE) LIKE MINE. SOMEONE THAT IS TRUE IN THE HEART!
Rich, smart, handsome, Humorous, Tall and slender.
Character wise – has to be understanding, sensitive and no player pls.
Someone who will love me with all his heart.
Another wrote…
In order of importance, I am looking for someone who~
is taller than me; has straight teeth;
Has enough hair to see the colour of;
Loves God above all other things in life;
Respects himself, myself, and others, including animals;
Puts in effort in his work; though not to the extent of neglecting family and friends;
Doesn’t drink too much;
Can smile at the silly things I sometimes do and accept them (The popcorn did jump out of its box during a horror movie, which is why I don’t really watch them…);
Is willing to send me home when it gets late;
Is ok with trying out new things, like ice skating =);
Can guide me somewhat if I’m lost (he doesn’t have to be a street directory though);
Does not mind accompanying me on little adventures around this little red spot on the map
Able to interact easily and a fun person to hang out with. NOT LOOKING FOR ANY RELATIONSHIP OR ANY EMO GARBAGE.
normal men , which dun smoke dun drink . no children . wishing to take care both side of parent , must be a good son do not scold their parent always good to them .. do not scold the brother or sister must be kind and good heart NOT A FLIRTING MEN . money not the problem but not least earn $3000 a month .
If you happen to strongly disagree that looks and money play a big part in your deciding factor, feel free to introduce yourself to me.
Oh yeah, leave your number too. Jk.
Joke of the day:
She said ” Next time when I get a boyfriend, he must be at least half as nice as you”
I said ” Then why don’t pick me instead”
She said ” Because my parents will never accept you “
