The Great Mobile Phone Debate

The time has come for a change in one of my most loved possession - Mobile Phone. I've always been brand hopping, not that i dislike any brands, but just feel that sticking to one brand will bore me. So far, I have tried Nokia, Samsung, Panasonic, Motorola and next on target is a Sony Ericsson.

Was comapring between the Nokia N73 and the SE K800i. More details can be seen here. Picture quality has strangly become an important factor in choosing a phone. Anyway, enough said, I'm leaning towards the SE K800i, cos the N73 still looks quite boring. I don't think Nokia is putting much effort in the design of the phone, with the exception of the Carl Zeiss lens as the camera.

Humph. Lemme think again before spending money...

Back for DD's Housewarming

Just back not very long. Had a nap at home before heading out for a trim at Suntec. Think i look "cooler" with this hairdo ... both aesthetically and physically. heehee.

Anyway, housewarming was really nice. It is just overwhelming to see most of the batch gals and guys again, adding to the fact that we were making full use of DD's new nest for this gathering.

Newly renovated, the house has a sleek kitchen in white motifs, beautifully wallpapered dining area and a spacious living room. The choice of furniture is also exquisite and quite suitable for the theme in each room.

Okay, back to people and their meals, we had some canapés as appetisers, which left us hungering for more food. Next a round of drinks (chilled earl grey tea and coca-cola), followed by the highlight of twin pasta (tomato and cream based carbonara). We also had a late comer, AEC, who came over as soon as he touched down into singapore. super cool. He had no carbonara, so he has to settle for instant noodles.

We shared the graduation piece with everyone on TV till about 1120pm, when most of us have got to go home.

After all the farewells and an open invitation to chill at his place again, DD just slammed the door shut at out face ... *shudders*. Sorry sorry *ahem* he closed the door to clean up the apartment we have messed up after an enjoyable night.

Today has been rather uneventful for me in thoughts, although we had a mini reunion of sorts. Let's hope that things will get better for most of us. Dun worry 863, hang on there, cos there has never been a better time to be in this career. Corporate expansion will almost guarantee your continuous existence in the company, that way you can plan for your own agendas without worrying about loss of job. =)

Okay, that's all from me.

Cheerios.

15th August - India'a Independence Day

Blogging from Inter-Continental Hotel over here in Mumbai. Becos it is Independence day, that I can't go out, due to security issues as well as personal safety.

There goes my adventures. It'll be really boring if the terrorists do so many things and we can't even step out of the hotel to explore the station that we are staying over.

Damn you terrorists!!! We should have a group called the counter-terrorists, just like in counter-strike game, to weed out the terrorists and threaten their families.

Religion is peaceful, and cannot be hijacked to justify any loss in human lives. It should be counted that religion has failed when any loss of lives occur because religion is unable to prevent this loss of life. Psychos who use religion as a shield to justify killings are cowards that cannot state their stand and they have egos big like an elephant balloon.

THat said, i shall just remain in my miserable hotel room, and try to live out my remaining time here in Mumbai.

Cheerios.

The pre-10th Flight - Mumbai

This evening will be commencing on the 10th flight, so called the 10th solo, and of course, my very first flight to India, in particular, Mumbai.

Excited of course with the prospects of visiting a country like India, especially Mumbai and Bollywood. Unfortunately, the Jihadists have made it hard once again to travel safely on the streets, especially when I am working for a prominent airline.

I had been through the maps of Mumbai online, and even planned where to take the train and stuff, but i guess, there is the constraint of time as well as safety.

How I wish the 3 years of flying will come quickly as a record under my belt, so that I can retire to my most desired country, Australia. Away from the decision making of a small nation state, internationally influenced by economic and Jihadist agendas, into the wide open space and forgiving lands which has accepted migrants since time in memorial.

Too much rhetoric? wait for more travel updates from Mumbai if there are any.

Cheerios.
