Should I get a new backup phone?

I used to have a backup phone in the past, just in case my current heavy duty phone breaks down. it was my W700i which made me owned my very first mobile phone and W910i, which was my longest phone ever to be with me at all times. Now W995 has taken the lead and all this thinking leads me nowhere.. Technology evolves real fast nowadays. Touchscreen phones are really popular nowadays, three years back it was not ruling the mobile industries yet, but now i'm sure you have one in your hands. And back to the main point, should I get a touchscreen phone as a backup phone or just a simple phone which we can text and call.. Actually i'm all set to get the best in design phone currently from Sony Ericsson which has low SAR value. In case, some of you may not know what's SAR is: Specific absorption rate (SAR) is a measure of the rate at which energy is absorbed by the body when exposed to a radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic field. All mobile phones have different values of SAR. Do not take a phone which has more than 1.60W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue. Its rather harmful to your head when you make calls. Alternatively, you should use a earpiece to make the call, to reduce harmful effects to your body tissue which leads to skin cancer or brain damaged. Currently, T707 has a healthy SAR value of 0.62W/kg compared to iPhone 3G, 1.38W/kg.

should I get the Sony Ericsson T707 as my backup phone, it's very worth it. Its retail price is at S$288 at the Sony Style Singapore.

Cooling Season 2009

Christmas is around the corner.. Nothing is better than waiting for my favourite festive season to come. These few weeks we have seen Singapore getting wet almost everyday, some of us may love the cool weather but not the troublesome rain. Its getting really cold here, to all my friends remember to bring along a jacket wherever you go, it will sure come in handy..

The new design of Sony Ericsson site

Sony Ericsson recently updated it’s official site. Now site is looking more pretty and now it has so easy navigation. As you can see now main page has very different style, compared to previous site. Enjoy!

Lessons @ Singapore Safety Driving Centre (Part 2)

Today finally I began to understand the basic technique of driving skills.
Having a good instructor is an important step to build up our foundation.
My driving instructor has helped me all the way teaching the first gear fundamentals and also the second gear.
He explain really clearly and we communicate like a friend, that is really the best part.
Soon, I will be able to drive out of the school circuit and explore outside roads.
As I'm learning from the school, our instructors are not fixed, a fixed insructor costs an additional charge of $8.

First Lesson @ SSDC

Yeah!! Finally.. Today, I was able to drive a real manual transmission car. The feeling was so great and somehow or rather its like driving in the arcade.. lol.. First, my driving instructor for the day, brief me on how to start the car engine and adjust all the necessary seat and mirrors positions. After all been accomplished, I started on first gear and roll off. The beginning part I felt nervous, hoping that I won't knock into oncoming vehicles. Slowly and steadily I moved off. The circuit circumference was about 500m only. I went round about at least 20 times to practice my moving off and stopping skills. As the car which was allocated to me was rather old. The brake pedal was loose, as I step down slightly to stop the car, there was a slight jerk. I really need to improve on my braking skills and I really hope to get a better car for my next lesson.

Day Out at Recreational Park

Finally, here we are at our destination, a place where one's soul relaxes and have fun, where else could be a better place, to cycle and enjoy the cooling sea breeze along the coastal area of the park. It's the park we all know, East Coast Park. Journey there took us about one hour. I secretly had my lunch on the bus. who cares as long i don't dirty the bus, it's ok anyway. Don't you think so? But in the end, I ended up in a tomato and mustard covered T-Shirt. Lol.!!! Had difficulties cleaning up at first, slowly the stain vanished. Now to the main point, Sharon, Audris and myself call ourselves the three musketeers. We went to rent our bicycles. total cost was $14 for two hours. considered quite a reasonable price. should be. As we had not sat and cycled on the double bike before, we tried one. It was a rather exciting experience for Audris and Sharon. Sharon mention that my riding skills was like wow. She has not taken a better rollercoaster ride in her life. I was impressed. When i cycle I tend to turn to the right and left. But it seems all normal to me. All the cycling made us hungry we went on to Marine Parade Hawker Centre. Three bowls of "You Mian" were filling our stomachs fast. And it was nice. next the fried oysters and carrot cake were simply disappointing. It tastes too sour and too salty. Never gonna patronize that stall anymore. $5 down the drain like that. Digestion of food were done at The Parkway Parade. We walked and walked, always doing the same old thing, window shopping. The day was ended when we reached Woodlands safely.

Hilary Inn@Vivocity

Have you ever heard about the Hilary Inn..? It's actually a newly open restaurant at Vivocity. The ambience there is absolutely comfy. Thanks to my sister, she recommended all the best appetizers to the main course and lastly desserts to me. My first dining experience was really great. Head down there and have a good bite on their value set meals. Highly recommended by me. They also provide tarot reading which is very true. They were not god but its based on the earth and water elements surrounding our minds.

East Coast Park

So looking forward to this coming Saturday's outing. It's East Coast Park, where all the joy and fun begins. The sea, the cycling track and the almost perfect weather we want. Hopefully Yi Shan and Yong An could be present. Sharon, Audris and myself had planned this outing a fortnight ago. It might be crowded on a weekend but this is not bringing me down. Plans for the day maybe cycling or stroll by the beach. We should get together more often.

Future Lies Ahead

In this economy downturn, its tough not thinking about earning and saving more money every other day. Having a job now during the recession really is good and most fortunate thing but I might have to make the worst the decision ever by spending less or probably giving up something I really wanted to learn. Now, studies and part-time job are both equally important to me as I'm financially independent. Do you have the same worries, worrying about daily expenditures and food? If you are, its time to save for rainy days. This month's work was hectic, but worth the effort. In a week time, school will begin. I'm gonna put aside all differences and concentrate just on studies. I believe this year 2009 will be good year for me when it comes to managing finance and studies. After what I went through from young, I knew that I take the hard and really slow way to learn about life and its really quite an experience.

New Mobile Number

For those whom I had already inform on my new handphone number, please save it as I will not be using my old number anymore in months to come or with immediate effect. It still depends on the service provider. I believe new year new number and I won't be changing mobile number again. Most probably this will be the last time I'll be changing number, as I had bad encounter with my old number. It wasn't really good. If you have not receive the sms yet. Don't worry I have not forgotten about you I will send you my new number at the right and perfect time.

Money Money Money

It's money time. I've been working so hard just because of money. First goal is set to be achieve by end of this year. Life's tough and we have to make ends meet. Was great meeting Yan Shuang and Shan on last Monday. Really felt bad, as I had just finished working at the IT Show 2009. I was indeed ill on that day. They were somehow dissapointed with me. Really sorry girls. Pls forgive me. Next time, our outing will be better. Talking about the movie. We watched Coming Soon, and it was funny and scary at the same time. Could you believe it? It's rated M18. Do catch it. Rate it 3/5 stars.

Final Theory Test Results

Yes. Friday the 13 was finally brought to light by me. Indeed, good news is here. Final Theory Test, I had passed the test. It was a moment of truth when I saw the person next to me failed, it made me so nervous. The test was really tough. Luckily, I managed to make less than three mistakes. Once again this very day was saved by Bernard Benhannes. Yeah.!! Next step, learn practical driving, which will be in April. By the way, IT Show 2009 is still going on, bored at home, feel free to visit the show. See you there.

High Alert on Weird Suspects

OH MY GOODNESS...! NO WAY...! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.....
Life is really full of many interesting human beings. Please be very careful when you take public transport. Singapore may sound safe but its not. All genders out there please protect yourselves in bus. Thanks to many foreigners in our country, our situation is not any better now. Tips to protect yourself on bus please do not allow strangers to sit next to you. It's safer to leave your bag next to you unless there's a friend or family member sitting next to you.
Recently, I read news reporting Girls being Molested by Guys and also Guys being Molested by Guys too. In this world now, anything could happen. And I'm speaking from real life experience. Please protect yourself!!! Don't regret one day.

Advanced Theory Of Driving

After what happened last year, my life has been patching up slowly. How to improve? Firstly, my personal goals and target set are: Studies & Personal Savings currently ranked No.1, next Part-Time Job, Family Ties & Friends are No.2, Fitness & Health are No.3 and finally a new mobile phone ranked at Number 4. So how do I actually improve, I've been asking myself many times that why am I always getting bullied from young. Is it because I'm too nice to people, which gives them the chance to bully me? I totally agree now that I'm way too nice. If you happened to see the change in me, please do not get shocked, somehow or what I won't be changing so drastically. As usual I will treat everyone nice but to a certain extent only. This year, it will be another chapter of my life, I'll be turning 20 in July. Something has to get right before it gets too late. I'm into another phase of driving theory too. I passed my Basic Theory Test on 14 Jan. Now onto a journey to the Final Theory. English believed that Friday 13 is a bad luck day and I purposely choose my test date on that day as I hope to believe nothing is impossible in this world as long you have worked hard for it. Will I pass, find out on Friday, 13 March 2009?

Tough Week Ahead and Before

"Right now(na na na)", I'm in the middle of this freaking exam weeks. It has been tough studying and preparing for exams, and yet Digital Electronics was the first which I had to battle with, second was Engineering Maths 1, oh man it was amazingly incredible for the first time I could do Maths. Finally it was partially over yesterday. One more left to go. Can I ask, anyone here hopes for a pass. Yes, of course. Why not? This month, I realized studying is not or about memorizing everything and stuffing those chunk of knowledge into your head. We all are human beings. Study and relax is the best way to prepare for exam. I'm one who's afraid of stress as it makes my head painful. Most importantly a study partner, whom can coach you and guide you through this bumpy obstacle which is truly hard to pass if you do not put in effort. And when you enter the examination hall, please do not get nervous, otherwise you would had already lost half the battle.
Nice exam tips for all out there. Study hard and all the best.
