SCM 2010

Few weeks back... SCM2010...

It's the 3rd year I joined the run...? I think so...
This year I "ran" 10km again...
Well... I walked half of the journey. :(
It seem like it got worse everytime I joined. During the 1st time, I trained with my colleague few months before the run. Did not stopped or walked at all (1hr10min?), which I'm pretty proud of. 2nd time, lesser training. Timing worse a bit. This time round... worst... (>1hr30min)

This was my preparation...
- Train for the 1st time 1 week before actual run
- 2 days before have curry fish head and curry mutton for dinner + few glasses of red wine
- Resulted in diarrhea the next day
- The night before run, went to wife's D&D
- After D&D, went home watched soccer on TV till 2am
- Wake up at 630am for the 10km run!

Perfect... -_-'''

Christmas Time at Orchard Road

2 weeks back my wife and I were at Orchard Road to get some Christmas presents for our friends' kids as we going some Christmas party during the festive season.

We were shopping at the "Central".

A different angle (from 6th floor)... Didn't realise that Orchard Road is actually covered by trees.

Night view at ground

We found a new hangout... Heaven's Loft at Central. Not bad... "rooftop" pub overlooking the busy Orchard road... However the live band is only performing on Saturday... and the champagne did not taste that good... :p

We had ice-cream there too!

Btw, all these pictures were taken with my HTC phone. Those dark ones are taken without flash. Overall, the camera on the phone is not that good as compared to iPhone... But I'm not very very disappointed since it's not my number one application.

Merry Christmas! (It's late I know... :p but it's still Sunday)

My new HTC phone... Quietly Brilliant

My old Nokia E71 seem to have some problem with the microphone ... and I have been using this phone for about 2 years I think. Mine is one of the oldest phone in the company as everyone seem to have switched to iPhone...

Every time my colleagues use their iPhone for Internet tethering, I will surely kana suan. :(
"Your old phone can't do this"

So... it's about time to change a new phone! I used my wife's line to renew the contract since mine was renewed about 8~9 months ago for her iPhone3. See... not that I have not exposure to "new" iPhone technology...

Presenting my new phone!
HTC Desire!

Haha... surprise? Not iPhone...

I think I'm the only one in the office to use HTC! Everyone is asking why this phone.

Well... couple of reasons...

- It had the function I wanted... Internet tethering

- HTC sense features seem cool

- Got some feedback on Internet and friends that it's not bad

- Some friends actually owned one (not as many as iPhone of course)

- It's non-iPhone!

Haha... probably the last factor is a major one.

Too many iPhones around. Trying to be special, u might say? Haha... maybe.

So far I like the sms feature, pretty intelligent and cool. Still exploring other stuffs though.

One thing I dun like so far is the battery life; very short. Cannot last a day. Maybe I'm playing too much during this exploration period. See how it goes...

HTC... quietly brilliant... hmmm... interesting. hahaha...

Life... Spice, Sweetness or...?

Feeling a bit down this few days...
Depress over work... or life?
感性?
