Musselicious!!!

Went to vivo like a month ago with val, my sis, hosea. We went to this restaurant called "The Mussel Guys". We had soup which had a mussel, we had seafood baked rice which had mussels too.




































Of course when you go to a restaurant that name themselves as "The Mussel Guys", you got to try their mussels, which we did. And we found "friends" in the mussels..........

Yes that is a baby crab. Well, we didnt just find one in one mussel but some of the mussels had a baby crab in them. One of the lady boss of the restaurant told us it was the season that the baby crabs were found in the mussels. To me it was the first time i have seen it but it was a sign. A sign that these mussels are fresh and not cultured.
Well, the food we had esp the soup and the mussels were good and i would definitely recommend people to have a try at "The Mussel Guys

My 1st Dell Laptop (Part II)

I got the replacement set and i thought they definitely make sure it would be of better quality and finishing. At first, it was better when they changed the brand of harddisk to eliminate the noise coming from the harddisk.

But one of the most basic things was not done properly, the supports on under the laptop was not balanced!!! So whenever i rest my left palm down on the laptop, it sinks down to touch the table surface. I have already reported to them the issue, waiting again for their resolution. Why oh why did i get this laptop........

My 1st Dell Laptop

I just got a Dell laptop in the office. It is the XPS M1330
It has a Core 2 Duo T7300 processor (2ghz), 2GB RAM, 120GB hdd, 128mb nvidia VGA card, a dvd burner, 13.3" Wide Screen all the other standard features.
It costs about 2600SGD (inclusive of 7% GST). Well, might sound abit expensive but i thought let's give DELL a try............

Guess what, i found the finishing alittle disappointing, maybe it is just my observation skills, i can see the wiring in between the joints of the screen and the keyboard.

And while installing my office softwares, i got my engineer to hear the clicking sound that i was hearing from the hdd in the laptop, he confirmed it was not usual and i decided to contact the technical support who were very friendly and helpful. At first i was given asked if they could send an engineer down to check and confirm on the unsual clicking sound and to replace on the spot the hdd but as i continue to tell them about the clicking sound, the technical support guy asked if there is any damage on the box, which upon my checking there was. I was then given another choice and that was to escalate for a replacement of the entire laptop.
hmmmmmmm of course i decided to take the second option and just take it that the laptop is faulty due to mishandling :p. Even now with the laptop already shutdown and charging, there is still electrical sound coming from the laptop *scary*

I will update more whether i get a replacement. BTW, the laptop is only 2days old.

One of the best

Saw this on Felix's blog one of my fav songs to date.

Munchy Donuts!!!

Love is the Greatest

1 Corinthians 13

Love Is the Greatest

1 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing.
3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it;^[a] but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud
5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.
6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
8 Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages^[b] and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever!
9 Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture!
10 But when full understanding comes, these partial things will become useless.
11 When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 12 Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.^[c] All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
13 Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.

Financial Freedom

Most of you have heard of me saying i do not have enough money or not earning enough. Well few weeks ago, a guy from Crown Financial Ministries spoke about finances entitled "Money, a matter of Your Heart" and he said something that really struck me on the part of plan your spending, he said;

"Financial freedom is not determined by how much you make. It is determined by how you spend what you make"

When i heard it, i reflected on my spending and have always wondered where i spend my money, how come at the end of the month it is always super stretched. So i decided to keep track of all my accounts including drink, sweets, magazine etc etc. Val has gladly volunteered to help me keep track so i just daily "report" to her what i have spent.

So we will see at the end of the month how i have faired.

Bored

I need to find something more interesting to do in the office.......yawn

40 Day Fast - Praise Him or else......

Go Deep, Look Far, Ask Big

The future is not a gamble. The future is ours to make. God with us. God through us. The shape of things to come rests in the hands of a praying church! The language of prayer is a language of love. Love God, Love Singapore. Love always hopes. Love always perseveres. Always pray. Never give up.

Love Singapore

Church Camp!!

I finally got my lazy butt to update my blog. So where shall i start? Church camp happened from 11th June - 15th June. Had a magnificant time, enjoying God's presence and His teachings, things that has gotten me thinking about how i can offer more of myself to build His kingdom. It also got me wanting to know God more.
The camp speaker was Rev. Martin Steel, he messages are really full of passion and anointing from God. One thing i really agree was about Being Aware of the Need, getting the Burden and filled with the Passion.

Physical fun wise, we went to play go kart and it was my first time on driving a go kart. It was fun!!!

On the way back to singapore, our coach driver was driving very fast but we cant tell how fast, see the picture you will understand.

Still Capable

Lawrence on his second day of sick leave while Ee Chiang is in Woodlands. So i am left with my 1week old helpdesk(his name is Jonas) and myself. Jonas is running up and down between 4 floors so to ease his job i took on some simple helpdesk task on the 4th floor (i am located on the 4th floor you see). I am quite proud, i am still able to solve some technical issues and help cut down the number of service requests(ok about 3-4). Lawrence going to scold me....i forgot to log the cases in the system. hehehe

anyway, last week my car couldnt start when i was about to leave tiong bahru plaza after my msca class. Heidi had to have her batt pack changed maybe it is her Philips Diamond Vision headlights, which almost blinded Ee Chiang.

Vista is out and i took almost 4hours plus to install on my laptop. looks cool but will need to explore to use it to it's full potential. nice graphics, nice widgets lookalike.

Going to The Cage tonight to play indoor soccer, all of them will be heading there after watching the Singapore Thailand match at Kallang Stadium, i hope they wont start tackling like the real players.......

True or Not?

I followed my friend ting's blog and did this quiz, interesting what they deduced about me, i know due to 2006 incidents, "some" do not think so, but i guess everyone has their group of haters.

Picture of Heidi and relatives

The ESI belongs to Ee Chiang my colleague it is a lean mean machine though due to recent mishaps, it is going slow at the moment.

While the other is Black Beauty and Heidi, i wonder if all 3 cars could meetup for a photo shot.
