Having lunch with the Crazy Ang Mo
After a quick meeting in Bishan, we decided to hop over to a nearby kopitiam for lunch. The crazy ang mo western food had recently been featured in the news and seemed quite interesting. The lunch crowd packed the stall and average wait time was 30 minutes. Interesting how they use a PA system for calling customers and making announcements.
Clean your toothbrush!
Just came across this ad on the papers today and found it interesting. Someone had invented a cleaning device for the tool that cleans your teeth – toothbrush.
VIOlight is a toothbrush sanitization system. Come to think of it, there must be much germs on the toothbrushes but this system is not very cheap too and it runs on batteries.
Toyogo Warehouse. Blk 11 Toa Payoh Industrial Park Lorong 8
Mom and Dad went earlier in the afternoon to help us get some storage racks going for a great bargain at $38 each for black plastic 3 tier racks. After putting in 2 at the house, we realised we could use 1 more while parents also needed to get another set. Joined them this time to the Toyogo warehouse in Toa Payoh Lorong 8. Great selection of plastic products from racks, to cabinets, etc. Prices seem reasonable so think we should be back again.
No MSN!
I have been using instant messenging since my first job, in 2000. Then it was icq, then I progressed to msn. For 7 years, I am connected online to friends, some of whom I seldom meet up due to various reasons, every weekday (seldom use computers or log on during weekends).
My new company is more stringent on web use, so we are banned from downloading msn. Therefore I have been using web version of msn. Recently the company banned all access to sites which are associated with ‘instant messenging’, and even ‘entertainment’. Now I cannot msn, and I can’t even access to the movie sites to book tickets etc.
It has been a few weeks without msn. I have Skype but is just not the same, as less people I know are on Skype. No doubt it helps concentration but I feel so disconnected. But anyway, think work will get increasingly busy so also no time to chat, but having the option to would be nice.
