My exams are over now and I’ve got 3 months of holiday! Been job hunting for the past few days but to no avail. Well actually I started looking for a temp job early April. Looks like I just don’t speak the working language to get secure myself a job that easily. =x
Anyway, I hope I would get a job soon coz I don’t wanna rot at home doing nothing…
Been mugging for more than a week now… My first official paper is tomorrow. Feels like this semester is ending too fast…Need more time! Anyway, I’ll be disappearing again till my exams are over….like the end of the first week of May. Till then…
Adios amigos,

I decided to upgrade my server from CentOS 4 to CentOs 5 last night. So I did a backup of everything under LxAdmin and went ahead with a fresh install of CentOS 5.
If you are wondering why I didn’t just upgrade via the installer, it is because I’ve read so many problems on so many forums that others have faced during their attempt. Anyway, since LxAdmin has the ability to restore all the sites and clients under admin, why don’t I just do a clean installation? 
Well at least that’s what I thought…

Well it was a couple of weeks ago but still I think I should blog about it. :D Had been busy with school projects and stuffs.
Erm… I would like to thank everyone that wished me for my Birthday! I really didn’t expect anyone to remember. Anyway I got a few gifts from my Dearest Siti this time. 
I got a cake, a bracelet with my name engraved on it and a couple of love notes which I am not showing to anyone. ;D Though it was spent under the block after a long day at school, I really appreciate it. Thanks Honey! 
Well, till I update something useful again. See ya!

Well a little about my family. My parents watch the Indian (National) News, the Malaysian News and gets affected by these foreign issues and they don’t really care about local context! Besides Mas Selamat which was also mentioned in the foreign news, they hardly know about anything that happens in Singapore. Are you parents or relatives like that too?
When my Dad met up with my relatives, all they talked about was about Malaysia’s recent polling and how UMNO made a huge mistake in the past. All I can remember is a body created for the Malaysian Hindus, Badan Untuk Tolong Orang Hindu (BUTOH!). Well at least I had a good laugh. =x
How well do you know your country? Do you prefer watching a foreign news network too?

At about 17:55pm Singapore time (+8 GMT) , Oanda FXTrade had no real time updates…No idea why…It happened just as I logged into my account. Was wondering hard if it is a holiday in US or Europe today that Singapore wasn’t aware of. So i visited other Forex sites to check…
Last Friday was one of the craziest day I had at school in the whole semester. I put on my shoes to school all the time but I have no idea what got into me that day. I left home in sandals. The worst part was at the back of my mind, I know I have Biology Lab to attend at 12pm. But I didn’t prepare any thing for the Lab!
The 2 most important requirements of the Lab are:
And I home without my lab coat, in sandals. Well the moment I entered the Lab, the lab attendant told me to get a pair of shoes and a lab coat or I wont be able to carry out my experiments….
Tried the new plugin called the Slickr Gallery. It comes with a customizable widget too! Easily integrated it with my Flickr Account which uses my Yahoo! ID. Simply wonderful. Click on any of my pictures on the widget on my sidebar and it will pop up nicely, loading the picture in the center of the browser.
I could even show my Flickr albums here! Now I don’t have to worry about my space on Antblogz as I have additional 100MB space from Flickr. This will soon become my photo blog too. Time to buy myself a great still camera for my newly found “passion”. I know I know. This kinda “passion” won’t last. But I guess if I got a great camera while I have this burning passion, it won’t go to waste when I need to snap some pic. Well as for now, I’ll settle with my P1i’s cybershot camera. It’s not great, but it’s good enough!

Ladies and Gentlemen, feast yourselves to the largest Ferris Wheel in the world! The Singapore Flyer! Well for a year at least. =x It officially started spinning today but unfortunately you will not be able to sit on it for the next 4 months or so as it is fully booked. You may have a chance to sit on it on Valentines Day though. They may have a few seats left.
I read up on its details and discovered that Singapore spent S$240-Million to develop this long awaited Ferris Wheel! Another discovery I made is that there is a strange liking for the number 28 for this development. Not sure if you realised it but heres how it goes.
FAQ of The Singapore Flyer:
Amazing isn’t it? It is mathematically designed to fit with 28. May be a simple design but I think its cool. :D Too bad the price of the tickets is S$29.50 for adults. Else it would have been another 28!. So lets do the maths. If the Singapore Flyer is fully booked for the whole year, how much would it earn?
Assumption: All riders are adults.
S$29.50 * 28 persons * 28 capsules * 28 shifts * 365 = S$236,368,160
Singapore will earn back her capital within a year. Lets hope that the Singapore Flyer is fully booked for the next 5 years or so. I hope to get some Singapore Tourism Board Shares (If there is any =x) for me to clear some of my student loan when I graduate! Why isn’t education free in Singapore again? Okok that’s another topic.
