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

Live From Ibis Hotel Singapore – $8 Deal! (Plus Photos & Personal Hotel Review)

I took part in the paywhatyouwant.com.sg campaign launched by Ibis Hotel Singapore. In fact previously I had stayed in Ibis Siam Bangkok and was pretty happy with the level of service and the reasonable rate.

I pay $8 (exclusive of taxes & service charge) for a night stay and I was surprised my booking went through!

It was the same manner as Ibis Siam Bangkok, no swimming pool, no bell-boy. Everything was no frills.

The room was simply clean. It is really awesome. I like the simplicity!

Here are the shoots taken using my E71 (not as sharp as my Nokia Xpressmusic):

Safe, coffee-tea-station, mini fridge (the black box)

The nice smelling orange body and hair wash.

My overall experience:

I was very pleased with the facilities that came with the hotel room. There is free internet access, very useful for business people. This is the reason I brought along my laptop as well. On top of that, there is cable TV with channels like ESPN, Starsports, AXN. This is unlike other hotels which do not provide those channels. The room is simply decorated with wise usage of color and space management. It looks small but plently of space to move around. Though the fridge was not sufficiently big enough, it was just nice for my water bottle to sit in. Useful feature for topical Singapore. I’m writing this post on the desk, facing Nanyang Academic of Fine Arts School.

Well, there is one thing which is not that well done: the toilet floor. The furnishing wasn’t that friendly in the sense that the tiles give a cutting feet feeling, definitely dangerous for little children. Ouch!

Ibis Hotel Singapore continues to live up to its name, Simply Classy.

I would personally give a 4 out of 5 stars!

9 Best (free!) software for a Tough Economy (Download available)

I came across this website on Best Software for a Tough Economy as I was looking through the Facebook group of Good Deals created by Bro CK.

As I scanned through the list, I have personally used one of the software which is AVG Anti-virus free edition. Other than the few minutes of updating new software everytime I start my computer, this software has been around for my laptop for several months. I’m cool with it!

I saw GIMP too, an image editing software whose functions are parallel to Photoshop I think. I have downloaded a copy previously but never get to fully explore on this. I think it was the interface which I wasn’t familiar with, more so with What’s a layer huh? I do not even know the basics. It was somewhat similar to Paint.Net (something which I rarely use). Nowadays, I’m depending on Pisca 3 for simple editing which is good for my images.

The one which caught my eyes was Camstudio Open Source! It’s really cool as it would be really useful for video recording! I would be excited to explore this software!

Check out the rest of these Best software (Free!) here.

I Bought My Nokia E71 Finally!

After a month or two of researching and decision making between Blackberry verse Nokia E71, a month of waiting for stock to come in, finally I lay my hands on my beloved Nokia E71!

I started reading user reviews and information of the phone mainly in Hardwarezone.com.sg forums and was eager to be part of the community. But it took me quite a while to be there.

I was a little cheapo in the sense that I was waiting for Singtel to throw in some promotion for number port customers! (I called the customer service number at least once every 2 weeks to check if there are great deals). When I finally set my heart on E71, there wasn’t anymore stock. PERIOD.

The stock would be in during CNY.

Initially I wanted the white color one, but the stock is taking far longer than my temptation could wait. So I settle for the grey one since it looks and feels more biz like. Here’s the machine!

So what was the difference between this handphone and my old one Nokia XpressMusic 5610? The answer is none!

I know you’re going to say there are way too many differences. Yes, there are very different in their structure but the main concept is still very much the same. Afterall both are Nokia! My favourite!

The one thing I really appreciate is Wifi which will allow me to log onto wireless@SG when I’m out. Convenience of a network without paying or paying much.

There seems to be many applications just like iPhone which can be added on. But frankly at thsi moment, I do not know what are available and useful for me. Applications sound like plugins for blogs. There are so many millions of them, which are the necessary and suitable ones?

Well. it will take me another month to understand my hp more.

Cheers!

PS: Tell me if you’re an E71 user as well!
