Is a deal better than no deal? Cerdit Cards!!! Arrgg!

Yesterday, my colleague asked me if i had OCBC credit card for some ticket discount. I checked my titanium card, and in turn realised there were promos for Hyatt! So went thru the hassle of checking for details.....and so crappy!! no one at OCBC knew the promo code for it and hyatt side also never heard of this promo!! OCBC said check with Hyatt, Hyatt said ask OCBC for the promo code!! aiyo!!! so is this like a special deal or privilege? more like a gimmick.

anyway after a few emails, routing even all the way to India and Korea's hyatt service line...i finally got the code. but up till then, i wasnt hungry for that stupid 3000 upgrade points for the Gold Passport anymore...ggggrrrr!!!!

Too much? - New Computer!

The world moves at lightning speed nowadays. its scary.

How come weeks are becoming shorter, memories are lesser? Everything is always new?

Aiyah...thanks to Technology! As i am here blogging...i am also a victim of T.

Do we need to publish everything online? Do we need to answer every mobile phone call? Reply to every email?

What to do? Have to keep up with times. But i guess one day people will realise its too much info overload.


Maybe we can start with closing down Facebook?


My dear old computer finally gave way a month ago. Ok after all its 8 yrs old and went through one upgrade. The power pack exploded due to dunno what....but actually the motherboard and stuff is still working.

So new Computer...searched high and low, compared dozens of flyers, squeezed in IT show, went to Funan 3 million times! haha.....just to get the best deal that can last for another 8 yrs? :P..hmmm...

at first "hey i just need a simple computer for surfing and some photos, documents..." ah now very cheap $900 to $1100 for a decent Intel Core Duo processor....as time went by....no must get something nice, Vaio? NEC Powermater - all in one! so cool......$2K! ...its ok price.
