To those who are stalking this blog, kudos to you for enduring through all the boring topics and walls of text.
Pics of melbourne to be up soon, soon after I consolidated all the pics.
A little penguin souvenir bought from Phillips Island.
Dear all Maxonline users…. my starhub maxonline DNS server(s) went down.

Load the router DNS address to be manual, point it to OpenDNS IP addresses:

As most of my friends know, I seldom join charity events, so I took this opportunity to join the event sponsored by the company. Another contributing factor was the event was held in Raffles Institution, my alma mater. At the same event, I can represent both groups. I’m proud of being able to do so, not many chances. In fact, I do not know if there will be another chance of being able to do so.
Nonetheless, it was an eventful day, waking up at 6am after drinking the previous night. Met Evonne, Yang Yang, Azhat, Suzzie and her daughter Crystal. Played another game that I never tried before: Bocce. Lawn ball kind of stuff, aka for older people like myself. HAHAHA
The event is to raise money to help these mentally/physically challenged people in Special Olympics. Training and going for competitions.
I’ve installed Firefox 3… finally. OK so far. Good as usual. Nothing too fantastic yet, just faster in response.
Had dinner at Kuishin Bo. Disappointing enough, I remembered the food was nicer, but the beef is still great. Down 2 plates. Great company as well.
Down to 13 days to the end of my long internship. Finale: Dinner at The Line, Shangri La. Sponsored by yours truly.
Going to Melbourne, Australia soon. Looking forward to the horse riding and cold wind.
SCHOOL IS STARTING!!! ARGH, DAMN IT.
National Day is coming. Picture to celebrate.
It was raining in the morning. Failed technical test. Future looks bleak. Know I am not there but still went ahead. Dozed off while reading CCNA, as usual. It rained again at night.
Back from reservist. Relatively relaxing compared to previous years. Got marksman in range, $200. My group was ranked 3rd in the battalion for the range, got a medal for that, first medal from the army. I’m quite a bobo shooter during my active days, oh well, somehow I manage not to miss too many targets.
Revamped my fish tank, going to show pictures of my shrimps. 2 little Yamato shrimps. Added fertilizers to make the plants grow. Hopefully when the plants start growing, I will put in about 10 or more harlequins.
Eating the sinking tablet.
Another angle
Took off a piece and hide under the wood to enjoy the food
My zebra danios. Too fast for my camera to capture. But you can see the blue shiny stripes on their bodies nonetheless.
Tomorrow I shall go for reservist for one week. Refresher training is over, better than previous years I must say. Good start.
My fish tank: all fishes died, so I cleaned it up a bit, changed the canister filter to Eheim ecco series. Added in 2 yamato shrimps, 1 snail (somehow 2 other snails popped up along the way, bring the total to 3), 6 zebra danios, 3 platies (all 3 died).
Lots of deaths in my tank these 6, 7 years. I really miss my 2 big catfishes and all the different sizes of clown loaches.
I think I will add in at least 10 harlequins or guppies and a lot more plants. After the plants have settled in, I’ll add in more yamato shrimps. They are pretty cute to observe.
I have a smaller spare tank. Still thinking of how to set it up to keep shrimps. Possibly the red crystal shrimps. Or maybe I’ll have a dwarf puffer. Definitely a species tank with snails to keep the algae off. But puffer don’t work well with snails. Hard to feed as well. Oh well, red crystal shrimps then. Hahaha
