Silver Lining

It's a rainy tuesday again. Been raining non-stop since early morning. Didn't feel like waking up and going to work again, but no choice cos no more leave :o

But hey, there's a silver lining in every rain cloud :) Received a Christmas card from someone special today. A cute card from Hong Kong's SPCA. So happy!! :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Rain Rain Go Away...

Wow, it's been raining non-stop for 24 hours!! The rain was so heavy this morning that I decided to take the morning off - my wiper is a bit lousy... too dangerous to drive... plus it was very tempting to stay in bed :p

The rain was slowing down at about 11+am, and I was preparing to go to work. Just as I opened my door to leave, the thunderstorm got bigger again!! Man... anyway had to leave the house cos was almost late!! On the way to work, saw the HUGE flood at Thomson Road, near the nurseries and MediaCorp - could only see a brown river instead of the road, and many Police cars...

Hope the rain will stop soon!

New Toys

Was at SITEX 2006 at Expo last friday. Took half day afternoon leave and met up with WW & AM. Strangely it was not as crowded as the last IT fair (I think it was COMEX??). Anyways got myself 2 new toys!! Yeah! =)

First up, a PDA - Acer n311

Been thinking about buying a PDA for 2-3 months, ever since I accompanied WW to buy hers during the last IT fair. So finally bought it! Same price as hers ($499), and same freebies (1GB SD card, leather pouch, screen protector) but had an additional free cradle. Was actually comparing between the Acer and the HP iPAQ RX4000. Both have similar specs but finally decided on the Acer cos it had a larger screen.

Next toy, a DVD Recorder - LG RH1777S

With 80GB hard disk, selling for $459 + $50 Choice voucher. Was selling for $499 at Best outlets few days ago. Just fixed it up over the weekend. Can't wait to try it out! Think will record the Star Awards this coming weekend, and the Golden Horse awards, if Mediacorp decides to air it. I want to see the following performance on the tv screen!
