How to d.i.y PRO lappy cooler
Are you a home lappy user like me? Then you might as well save the $$$ to buy a lappy cooler. Why? A cheap one gives you bad fan with miserable wind that doesn't cools your lappy, but uses more power from your lappy. Thus making your lappy more hot. While a good one can cost at least $50.
What i do at home is very efficient with wind that totally blows your lappy. The wind is better than any master cooler outside! And the price? Less than $5.
Here's how i d.i.y my pro master cooler:
you need a red tray (see picture). You can get it at any mama shop, cost less than $5. Look for one that is not too deep.
Flip the red tray turtle. Then place your lappy on top of it. That is why choose a tray that is not too deep, so that your lappy will not be too high. Take note not to block the hole behind the lappy that is purging out the hot air. Then place a standing fan in front of it. (see picture)
Red tray is like a cage with maximum ventilation that allows the wind to flow freely through the bottom of the lappy. My table used to burn when i only place my lappy on top of it without this tray. Now, this problem is solved and my lappy is cool. What's more, it cools me too hehe.
Yesterday night i bumped into an old friend at bugis. When i said hi, he said he almost cannot recognize me due to my haircut and i look more skinny than last time!?? I was thinking: damn, what the hell, nowadays i already eat alot compared to last time, and still people say i become more slim??!! Should i eat even more? o.O
My regular meals for normal working days are:
11am Breakfast (I usually wake up 10.50am for work) 1 bowl of Oat milk and 1 tomato as i go off to work Simply Oat mixed with anlene powder. Very healthy :)
1pm Lunch Mixed veggie rice (I think i don't take pic, i always change dishes.)
3pm Tea Break Few Slices of Gardenia wholemeal bread i always prefer wholemeal than white bread.
5pm Dinner! Favorite chicken rice! and a papaya Special order: White rice, Breast meat ADD breast meat. Normally around $4. And must be NO BONES!!
7pm Post Dinner Mr Bean beancurd and banana Special order: beancurd without sugar, add soya bean drink! Taste tasteless!!! 9pm Supper 1 cup of Oat milk Its the same as my breakfast, but only drink a small cup at night.
Maybe i need to eat more meat to pump up :) Think 1st thing is get myself a weighing machine to monitor.
Never in my life i got shouted by a NTUC aunty from across the counter before. This afternoon i went to my house nearby NTUC to purchase eggs. As i took down one pack from the shelf, i heard someone shouting from a distance: “小弟对了！”
I turned my head and saw a NTUC aunty half walk half run towards me.
NTUC aunty: 小弟你选的鸡蛋是对的！ me: eh? NTUC aunty: 这个 Lim Chu Kang 鸡蛋是最新鲜的！ me: OK! NTUC aunty: 让我跟你解释，这个 Lim Chu Kang 鸡蛋是晚上一生出来，早上就送到这里来。其他的蛋没有它新鲜因为它们是从Malaysia来的，transport须要几天到custom才到这里。 me: ooo... NTUC aunty: 这个 Lim Chu Kang 鸡蛋，我每天都来新的。我特地clear两个shelf来放它。
So of cos i bought the LCK egg, must give aunty some face for promoting mah. Anyway i picked this egg cost its the cheapest on the shelf lol.
Tough Luck! Just few days after i bought my new headphone, my mp3 player condition worsen. Starting is the internal device broke causing my mp3 player cannot "forward" or "backward" to choose song. But luckily i took it out and use super glue to fix it.
Then few days ago when i am using it, the control knob at the side came off and fell into the drain! Win liao lor, without the knob i cannot "forward", "backward" or even "play" at all. Then desperate measures came up:
I used a paper clip to slot into the control at the side. Whenever i need to "play", "forward" or "pause" i will use the paper clip to poke it :) So until i buy a new mp3 player i guess i just have to use this method.

Chinese New Year is over, Valentine's day is also over, after eating and enjoying for the past few weeks, its time to do some exercise to tone up myself. I haven't went to gym for long time, instead of letting myself get more and more out of shape, i often do these simple exercise at home or even at my office (when boss is not around of cos!)
Push up
The most easiest exercise you can do almost anywhere is push up. Army teaches me how to do it :) Other than doing on the floor, i prefer to do it using 3 chairs. This way, my chest can go all the way down deeper, hence better results.
Chin up
Other than push up, i also like to train chin up. The best way to train your chin up is to keep doing chin up. If your room door got a hinge on top for your fingers to grab, you can make use of it to chin up. If home or office no have, then you can go down to your park nearby. I normally do in 3 sets of 6 reps until my arms no more strength.
Dips
Army never teaches you do dips, but dips is a very good exercise for the upper body. What you need is to find 2 tables close to each other, enough for you to stand in. The tables must be able to support your weight when you lift yourself up. Then slowly use your arm power to lower down, but do not let your legs touches the floor.
Abs
For some reason if you dislike lying on the floor and do sit up, you can try this method to tone your abs. Find a door with a hinge on top (you can use the same door you use for chin up.) Then instead of using your arms to pull up, do this: Use your abs power to lift up your legs, until your kneecaps touches your chest. Remember to keep your knees together when doing. After doing some reps, you will feel the effect on your abs.
These simple exercise can be done any day, i even ask my colleague to join in the exercise too :) So there is no reason not to exercise!
I bought a headphone today, its the 1st headphone i ever bought, cause headphone gives me the conventional look of big chunky brick sticking onto the head. But this headphone is completely different, very slim and sleek headband on the head. True, its like wearing a hair band lol. Price: $35.

Yesterday night, while i was in the streets, mom called me to buy newspapers, 联合晚报. When i reached home then i know why she asked me to buy. Because she appeared in the papers lol. She went with 大姑 to Singapore Pools at Selegie to shake hand with god of fortune. That is how she got snapped.
Closed up, can only see 大姑's arm. The one in grey shirt.
Finally my job at warehouse is done and i'm back to my relax relax days haha. Today first day back at my workstation, brought my lappy and did these stuffs:
1) Online MSN for 9hours, 2) Watch last week campus superstar online, 3) Watch 10 promise to my dog online,
4) And i happen to stumble upon this girl who like to record her own singing and put on youtube. I must say she sing not bad already, but she still got receive very bad comments.
Below listed some of her songs.
lydia original by F.I.R :) Not bad, but think that the chorus can be more power
我们说好的 by original 张靓颖 :) Her latest upload, voice is alot more clear without 鼻音.Too bad towards the ending seems to messed up
月牙湾 orginal by F.I.R :) I think she sang this fairly well except the chorus 高音 is too high.
Everytime original by britney spears :) Starting sounds like britney ooo...
Today is a very tiring day. Re-locating of my company's warehouse. This is an extreme tedious job which involve shifting of all my warehouse items, dismantling the infrastructure, removing all electrical installed, to re-instate the place back to its empty shell. AND build back all these shit to the new location. Zzz
Even though my job is to use EYE POWER, MOUTH POWER and a bit of FINGER POWER, but its still tiring. See the workers tired, i also tired.
These few days my lappy's internet seems much stable and faster, after a great deal of troubleshooting.
It started when i signed up a 2mbps broadband on mobile plan with "Sicktel". Initially surfing seems fine until peak hours arrive. I would get 0mbps during peak hours, in the afternoon and at night. 0mbps means i can connect, but unable to surf or MSN cause the speed is zero! This happened everyday and its not acceptable, so i called up Sicktel.
These are what they will do if the same thing happens to you;
1st step) Sicktel will reconnect your line again. But it does not solve my problem, so,
2nd step) I was offered for a free 1to1 exchange of my SIM card. They suspected its the SIM card problem. So i went down to their booth to exchange. I had to wait 12hrs for the new SIM card to be activated. ZZZ. And to my disappointment, the 0mbps problem is still there!
3rd step) I asked if i can exchange my E180 modem since it may be the cause. (My modem was given free when i signed up.) But Sicktel says they are unable to exchange, i have to go down to my modem's service center to do so. To compensate for all these trouble, Sicktel offered to waive off my 2nd bill.
4th step) So i went down to my modem's service center, Techwah Service Hub, to test. My modem E180 tested fail. They opened up another new E180 modem to try, still fail. I suggested changing to another model. The other model E169, which was an older model works fine. But they said they cannot change different model, unless i got a letter from Sicktel! Immediately i request him to call his boss over to speak to me. No way i am going to be push here and back there again. Lucky his person in charge came out and says he will feedback to his main office.
Finally after 4 days, Teckwah called me, they approved changing my E180 modem to E169. So i went down to change.
My internet is really better after changing to E169 modem. No choice, have to downgrade from E180 to E169 modem. 算了算了. I read forums that i'm not the only one having this 0mbps problem, some even got their contract terminated with refund.
So in case if you got this 0mbps problem, you know you are not the only special one.
Teckwah Service Hub Address: 61 Tai Seng Avenue #05-13 UE PRINT MEDIA HUB Tel: 65939788 How to get there: take bus 62, 80, 93. Stop at Taisen MRT.
Have you change your EZ link card? If you have, here's something new that you should know.
That means you now need to have at least $3 in your new EZ link card in order to travel MRT, how cool!
New features available for the new EZ link card;
If you are using an adult OLD EZ link card, you can replace to the NEW EZ link card before Sept 2009. After which, you cant exchange 1 to 1 anymore. However, card holders may still get a refund on any remaining value in their old cards up to 12 years from the date the card is first encoded for use.
