The most egoistic recruitment campaign

Uncategorized

This is probably the most egoistic ad campaign:

No other career opportunity can match this.

(No other career opportunity can match this.)

I think it’s by the Singapore military or army or whatever since it says ‘The Decisive Force’. Not only does this advertisement say the military is great, they further pointed out that they’re just the best. Hmmmp… Is this supposed to have some sort of psychological effect, making men feel proud enough to join?

What is left after reunion dinner

Uncategorized

It’s chinese new year and we had this yearly reunion dinner thing going.

Our already emptied dining table.

(Our already emptied dining table.)

We had a great meal with our family. Most of my father’s side family came over. We had chicken, duck, chicken, prawn and abalone. And almond jelly.

We are probably the only family drinking port on reunion dinner.

I mean who the hell drinks port on new years. Port would like to announce that it has 17.5% alcohol in it.

All the leftovers are kept in the refrigerator.

New covers for the bed.

My mother got me new covers for my bed, says new year must change bed covers. So yeah. It’s safari and jungle theme as you can see. I don’t like the greens.

Just thought that my plush elephant might just fit in for a cameo.

Another poor attempt on lunar new year decorations.

My father’s responsible for it I think. He tried (and failed) to induce some Chinese New Year feel to our cold television. It didn’t work. Forgive him for the little white creature that looked like it belonged to Christmas because it did. It’s just there ’cause it’s got this bit of red on its hat and barely made it to the display.

My cupboard that I did not bother cleaning this year.

(My cupboard that I did not bother cleaning this year.)

I was a little busy, okay lazy, and I didn’t clean up my cupboard this year. It still looks acceptable I guess so I’m just leaving it that way. I probably try harder during spring cleaning 2009. My tables cleaner already but I took out too many stuff to work on it’s as if I did not clean my table.

February is just going to be a tough month. My assignment deadlines are March 1 and I have the prelims coming on February 27 (Mathematics), March 1 (E-business), March 3 (Computing and Internet) and March 5 (Java). I saw my Gantt chart for my work - it looks very pretty. It’s just going to be busy.

Thank god I almost have no school in February. I think I probably be going a couple of days a week for a couple of hours each time only. The only bad thing is that this time the assignment seemed harder. But well, the secret is… I finished my Java assignment’s program already. Yeah!

Have a good day ahead. Happy lunar new year!

Happy chinese new year to all!

Uncategorized

To all Chinese in the world, February 7 of this year is a day of celebration - chinese new year. It’s the day when the moon… Okay… Well, the moon… It’s the day when the moon… Okay God knows what happen to the moon but it’s just some lunar thing okay.

Anyway, happy chinese new year (新年快乐) to everybody. Wan Shi Ru Yi (万事如意). Means something like everything you desire would come true.

2008 seems like a busy year. February is just going to be super busy, with work, with school, with new year visiting and blah blah. Time will pass fast too. And it’s probably there’s just 29 days.

Anyhow Happy Chinese New Year!

Opera Mobile 9.5 redesign

Uncategorized

Opera Mobile version 9.5 is noticeably faster thanks to a re-engineered Presto rendering engine and features a new browser interface and downloadable Opera Widgets.

OPERA MOBILE 9.5

This looks interesting and Internet Explorer is really slow in Windows Mobile it would seem.

Sarah Silverman sings I’m Fucking Matt Damon

Uncategorized

Sarah Silverman sings I’m Fucking Matt Damon in the Jimmy Kimmel Live. Jimmy Kimmel was previously known for cutting off Matt Damon’s appearances on TV, always saying something like “Apologies to Matt Damon, due to constraints…” The tune’s so catchy and I replayed it 10 times already I think.

Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel has been dating since 2002. Silverman has her own show The Sarah Silverman Program at Comedy Central.

First time changing my printer’s ink

Uncategorized

My assignments are done already (more or less). While doing the printing, my printer just stopped and refuse to print anymore. It tells me to put in a new black ink cartridge.

(HP Photosmart C5180 All in one printer.)

It even knows that I am using a genuine HP ink cartridge. Quite impressive. I wonder what if I put in a pirated one, would it have some sort of warning. A Cartridge Genuine Advantage program perhaps?

My printer loves ink cartridges, has 6 of them each time. Thought it look kinda pretty when it’s opened up naked and all, I’ll keep the printer open for another hour.
