First Time Buyer of WII Seeking Advice & Suggestions

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I am planning to get a WII set + Guitar Hero in the next few months (late September where I have more time to play)

Currently looking into the list of items that are neccessary.

  • WII set (local/US version?) It seems like there is different pricing
  • Wii Remote Controller & Wii Nunchuck Controller (extra)
  • Guitar Hero Band Kit ($268 Qisahn price)

To be honest, I do not know what’s included in the WII console and the extra must have items I would need to buy. My main focus would be Guitar Hero. I know there are WII fit etc but that would perhaps come in later.

Shops I am considering

www.qisahn.com

www.tingsin.blogspot.com

I plan to get the whole bundle of what I need at just 1 shop, save me the hassle and time to travel around.

I would appreciate all comments and suggestions from WII users. Also, what are the must know for 1st time buyer of WII?

Hear from you!

Thanks!

7 Tips On Renting A Commerical Unit In Singapore

I was searching on google on ‘Tips on renting commerical property in Singapore’. The results were abundant BUT it was more for renting apartments and houses which I believe are 2 totally different entities.

After some thoughts, I decide to come up with a list of tips on renting commerical property. These are tips I learnt while looking for a suitable location for my business (Still searching, if you have to offer let me know, much appreciated)

The first three points are often what property agents will ask in order to cater to your requirements. So you must do some work before hand.

  1. Size & Shape of space; it is dependent on the activity you are carrying out. Have in mind the range of sizes you are looking for. Shape is important too. I need a regular shape (i.e. square or rectangle shape unit). Fitted or Bare?
  2. Location & Surrounding. Do you need a space which must be highly accessible by public transport? Or location is secondary in your selection. Many a times, location comes with a price!
  3. Budget. The two factors above will determine the range of price for your unit. Certainly, negotiations can be done if you really find a suitable place and you would want to negotiate to a price which is favourable for both parties.
  4. Find an experienced agent. Experienced agents save you the time and you are handled with ‘professionalism’.
  5. Know the ’standard’ practice of the costs involved. 2 Months deposit + 1 Month advance + 1 Month commission for agent (for a 2 years lease).
  6. Other Charges involved? Is GST included? Is there maintenance fees involved? What are the other charges that tenants have to bear? Are there any restrictions or limitations on the usage of the unit? What would be the approximate utility cost per month?
  7. Negotiations for better deals? Length of tenancy, ‘free’ renovation period, ‘requests to be made to landlord’

These are just some tips I came up with after viewing a couple of commerical units. I would love to hear from your experience in renting a commerical unit in Singapore.

Read This Statement and Be Amazed!

I thought it was cool, it must have taken the author of this sentence sometimes to draft this paragraph. Way to go!

“I do not know where family doctors acquired illegibly perplexing handwriting nevertheless, extraordinary pharmaceutical intellectuality counterbalancing indecipherability, transcendentalizes intercommunications incomprehensibleness”.

This is a sentence where the Nth word is N letters long.
e.g. 3rd word is 3 letters long, 8th word is 8 letters long and so on

Randy Pausch - The Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams

“We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.”

Posted in Uncategorized

The Taboo

I am currently reading The Last Lecture by Randy. Coincidentally, my neighbourhood has 2 ongoing funerals too. These events set me thinking during my free time just now.

These were the questions which came to my mind:

  • How is death like? Does it hurt? Does one struggle really hard during the last breath?
  • What’s after death?
  • How do I want to feel at my last moment?

I guess nobody can really answer all the questions I have except for the last one. Have you thought of how you want to feel at your last moment? Leave with regrets, joy, satisfaction, achievement?

We decide how we want to feel like at that moment.

These thoughts made me feel appreciative of life, they serve as reminder of how fortunate I am. I do not have to worry about roof over my head, I do not have to worry about losing job, I do not have to worry about my family. Everything’s going well for me. I have been reminded that it’s my duty to help more people with my strength! I have to do more to benefit the community.

In 1994-1995, it was considered a bad year for me in the sense that I lost 3 closed people in my life within a period of 6 months. I was so young then that I perhaps did not know how to feel the grief. It was only later when I grew up that when I think about the past (when I was all by myself), I feel the tinge of sadness (and perhaps also relief for the departure of my family members)

It has moulded me into a really independent person, so independent that I hardly ask people for help since I guess I can do things by myself instead of troubling others. This personality of mine was uncovered when I went through some activities in a programme many years back. I guess being independent has its pros and cons. Pros: I make my own decisions. Cons: I do not know how to leverage so I get overburdened at times to the extent of burnt out.

I must say I am quite happy up to this point, doing the things I love. Coaching. It’s really fun to work with youths, interesting to find out how they think, act, dress . . . They are great people whom I learn from as well. Their courage, creativity, playfulness . . .

Can I greedily ask to travel more instead of once a year? I shall work towards travelling for twice a year in 2010. For now, I’m looking forward to completing my mission for this year with my graduation trip to Perth! Rottnest island, Pinnacles, Fish and Chips, Frementle Market! Here I come!!!

So are you happy with your life? Are you enjoying it?

I am.

I saw this quote when I was at my igoogle and was impressed at how apt this quote is. There is so much truth in Einstein’s words.

“Life is like riding a bicyle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” Einstein
