Dust removal (from inside)
Originally uploaded by Kirby Ong.
Finally it is my turn, letting them have my phone to have the dust removed. But in order to do that, they require me to leave my phone with them for 2 to 3 days so that they can change the housing. I told them i'll reconsider.

Just as i was about to kick off my day by watching tv, i get this notice on my TV. I called Starhub to get some assisatance but that didn't work. This is the second time so maybe i might go down to Starhub at Plaza Sing. later to get my set replaced.
I am sure most of you have seen this Mocca ad. of the bodybuilder selling his home, it is all over, on the bus mobileTV, at home on TV and even on YouTube. Well now you can download it from here! (you can watch this video with the following software, VLC, Quicktime or Divx player.)
Slowwwwww.....cold & noisy!
Originally uploaded by Kirby Ong.
Oh man! The bus, now along Serangoon Road, is really going slow and easy. I'm on a bus, freezing cold, slow and to make things worse, a bunch of teenagers blasting music from their mobilephones at the back, in the bus. Nowadays, these kids don't know how to behave in public when they go out in groups (or alone).

Mass Backup

Just got another external harddrive so i can backup my personal data. Adds to my array of backups i already have, some may think i am insane to have so many backups, but in any case, you will never know in case of an emergency.

Long Lunch @ Longhouse
Originally uploaded by Kirby Ong.
Now having my lunch at Longhouse Foodcourt along Thomson Road. Bumped into an ex-colleague whom i've not seen her for about 3 years.
Today is mostly a nice cooling day and when i got home, i see my hamsters are not resting instead they actively running around, climbing, wrestling and of course munching their nuts.
NO crowd please
Originally uploaded by Kirby Ong.
Wanted to get on the north bound line towards Yishun but after seeing the crowd, i went the other direction, towards Marina South so at least i have a seat all the way back to Ang Mo Kio.

Underground dinner
Originally uploaded by Kirby Ong.
After seeing most passerbys drenched by the downpour upstairs, i refused to even go up and see the state, so just remained underground at Raffles Place MRT and just dined at TCC. Here comes my food.

Sleep is everything (for this trip)
Originally uploaded by Kirby Ong.
On the bus now, where the aircon is turning it into a mobile freezer. Lucky i have a windbreaker and now going to catch a bit of sleep, at least 20 minutes or more as the bus is travelling slowly in this wet weather.
Wet Morning

Just as i was about to head out to work, a heavy downpour started! Wish i could have slept thru such a weather. :(
And there you have it, a snapshot of the iPhone in People's Park, Chinatown. Couple of days back, when i was in Sim Lim Square, i was quoted a whopping S$1200.00. And so this time round, i didn't ask, but there is plenty to go around if the Mac fans want got $$$ to spurge on a non 3G phone.

Alternate route again but.....
Originally uploaded by Kirby Ong.
Took the same alternate route again and this time i decided to check the buses available at this bus stop. And there it is, i actually have a direct bus home from here and there was i yesterday, walking to another bus. Silly me!
1 more bus to catch
Originally uploaded by Kirby Ong.
Apparently this bus stop has only 1 bus which takes me home and here it comes after about 10 minutes of waiting time. So conclusion, by this route, i would save on bus fare and without the rush hour crowd. My usual routes would require either a 45 minutes single bus ride or getting on a train and then taking another bus just to get home.
Hougang Avenue 2
Originally uploaded by Kirby Ong.
After the first stop at Serangoon, the bus proceeds to move on to the next stop at Hougang. This is where i get off. When i first got off, i had to get my bearings right as this is the first time i am using the company transport. From the alighting point, i had to walk about 8 minutes to a bus stop where i can catch bus 153.
Alternate route
Originally uploaded by Kirby Ong.
Following my colleague on the company bus which goes to Serangoon North, Hougang and Tampines. I'm am alighting at Hougang then get on another bus back home. See if this route would be faster than my usual. At least for the company transport it is free, fast and not crowded but just doesn't take me home directly. Let's wait and see.

And also more space for them to have their own cosy corner to rest.
