The Twilight Saga: New Moon 沉悶無聊

I have never watched the Twilight first episode and never read the book. I only know there are vampires and werewolves. Naturally, I thought it is a exciting monsters movie. But who knows The Twilight Saga: New Moon actually is a chick flick. The whole movie is moving extremely slowly. It is basically the lead actress 談情說愛 with little action. Half time the show, I started to 抓狂﹗So if you are not into romance, stay away from this show. Strictly for fans only.

Latest 愛好: 做手機電影

I always wanted to turn my mobile phone into a device that allows me to watch movie. Only until lately, I learnt how to get the right encoding, format, resolution etc.. for my Nokia E90. It is now a breeze to load movies into my mobile. Now my phone is truly a multimedia 智慧手機﹗哈哈哈﹗

Online application 不如當場 application

I wanted to apply a free account for me to access the internet in campus. So I apply online which I tot will be faster. Who knows there is a security 保護 and said they will mail me the security code to append to my password so I can use my account. After waiting for almost 2 weeks, I received nothing. So I gave up and go to the service center to change my password. Instantly, I can access. So sometimes you need to go down personally to get things done. Online might not be the fastest way.

2012: 天崩地裂﹗場面過癮﹗

2012 is Roland Emmerich's latest 災難大片﹗It talk about a massive solar flare caused the temperature of the Earth's core to increase rapidly and will cause end of world in 2012. So when disasters strike on the fateful date, the lead actor John Cusack 排除萬難 and bring their family to safety. The special effects are 一流﹗But the plot of John Cusack always manage to get their family to safety is 超誇張﹗He should die long ago. Haha. The show is also a bit long till times it becomes a bit draggy. But over all, I love the destroying.

"Usual price" is just 一場游戲

I have been seeing a lot of advertisement putting "usual price is xxx, now xxx". While some are real, many are fake! I have seen for past months, a blu-ray player is selling at $299. Then, I saw it one day, it advertise as "usual price is $499, now $299" making it as if a price drop of $200 now. So moral of story is 貨比三家 and followed the price even though you might not be buying any sooner. 留意平時價格 is also good is when you buy a product, you will know if this shop sells at higher price or not. Just like my Logitech mouse, I pay $3 more at Best as compared to Harvey Norman where I thought usually such brand has same pricing around.

M1 我支持你 Singtel 再見 Starhub 我來也

I have been with M1 since it started doing business in Singapore. 它的電話比別家貴 but I still stick with it. The main reason is their customer service is 一級棒﹗Whatever reasonable perks I try to ask for, they will try to 滿足, if not suggest alternatives unlike Singtel. Lately I asked for phone voucher again and they agree without any questions asked and no, mine plan is the cheapest plan. Singtel on the other hand is extremely stingy. So I will switch my 2nd line to Starhub which is another generous company once my contract is up in less than 2 months time.
