Exams are over! Got money to buy iphone, but queues are everywhere..

I took my last exams for the course, which took me 1.5 years. However i still don't think i can make it for this paper, but what's done already is over, shall not think of it. The results will only be known in February 2010. And till then, i need to find things to keep myself occupied. Good luck! Hong Wei~ * * * * * * * * Regards to previous post , i went to M1 shop, Westmall just now, at about 7.45pm. When i reached, i see the whole shop full of people, went forward, wanting to tell them i reserved an iphone. And to my horror, the queue was actually out of the shop, stretching the whole covered linkway of the mall... about 30 people and still queuing.. "But i reserved already.." i told the M1 staff... "Sorry, you still have to queue..." was the answer.. What for i reserve for one in the first place? -__-" Luckily, they are not the only one selling iphone now. Bleh! =P * * * * * * * * I will post the ''post-exams dinner'' tomorrow. Stay tuned! =)

iPhone available to StarHub, M1 customers from Wednesday

The news is out, after looking at friends owning them and me playing and using it. =) A lot of you may already been using it.. but still its a new toy for me! SINGAPORE: StarHub will make available the iPhone to its subscribers from Wednesday. It will also offer a range of new 3G mobile plans to meet the different needs of iPhone customers for voice, SMS and data usage. iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G models will be available for free on the 3G SmartSurf Unlimited plan with a two-year contract. Altogether, four new 3G SmartSurf price plans will be introduced. Local data usage charges are capped at S$48 monthly. Customers who have pre-registered for the iPhone will be given priority. Hours after StarHub revealed plans to rollout its iPhones, M1 announced it will do the same this Wednesday.There will be four new iPhone plans offered by M1. M1 said its iPhone customers will also enjoy call benefits of unlimited free calls to three M1 numbers, per second billing and discounts of up to 35 per cent on subscription fees with the multi-line saver programme. Local data usage charges are capped at S$36.38, slightly below StarHub's rates. In July, SingTel was the first operator to launch the new iPhone 3GS. - CNA/yb * * * * * * * * And an article from Hardwarezone, rounding up of all the plans.. And it has been set in stone. All three telcos have showed their hands for the iPhone price plans. For the moment, M1 is leading the pack, with the following advantages: 1. 10GB of data usage 2. Data cap of up to $36.38 3. Lowest price plan for iPhones at $36 (Compared to Starhub's $38 and SingTel's $39 based on the lowest-end plan) For now, here's a quick round-up of the price plans.

Baby Full Month Celebration

My friend Simon's video of his good good friend, Jimmy's Baby Full Month Celebration. Shall share this happy occasions with you all like how he shared with us... =) Best wishes to Jimmy & Relus, and big Hello to Yen Jing! And good job Simon! =) Can you feel the sweetness and happiness after watching it? =) * * * * * * * * I should really give myself a big pat, for walking 10km (with heavy load) last Friday, but it was body aches that became my rewards. Haha!! It was super intense studying over the weekends. Why? To clear out the memories of last paper, and to "upload" the information needed for the Thursday paper. Well, this cheered me up.. Back to my notes...

Cleared a paper today!

Hi all, i took my first paper today! It was alright, but brain was blank towards the end of the paper. What's done, can't be undone, just hope for the best! One more paper next week, on the 10th. Go Hong Wei ! =) * * * * * * * * Some updates from last week. 28 Nov 2009. A happy occasion. My dear friend, and great pal, Kenneth, who served the Army with me got married! It was a great gathering for the Army pal group. It was fun, fun and more fun! =) * * * * * * * * Remember the Nepalese orphans (Link at the side of my blog) ? My friend already flew over and they managed pay off the school fees and even got a bank account in Nepal for the children as reserve! I am so happy to hear this..! And best of all, she mailed me a photo of the kids, and they even wrote 'Thank You' at the back of it. So touched! Shall be taking note of their status, and will continue to help if they need it. Kindness, like a boomerang, always returns. ~Author Unknown Nice weekends to all! =)

How the 'Peace' sign come about?

Hi all, look at this !!!! My Twitter friend, Manny (Manuel) created me in a picture! Take a look -----> here ! He's a great man to follow on Twitter. And he knows a lot of languages! haha... If you got a Twitter account, you can follow him at @mannykimchi. * * * * * * * * Ever wonder how the 'Peace' sign come about? This is a funny video! I shall not be blogging until the night of 3th Dec, which is after my first exam paper. Got to discipline myself. In case you miss me, tag me in my tagboard, ok? =)

The "battle" continues..

The studying and preparation of the Exam battle continues.. With the colourful wordings and underlining, i hope the information are properly stored in my brain's "hard drive". =) Good job, Hong Wei. At least the weekend was not much wasted. ✌ * * * * * * * * And Dear Arsenal team, What happened?! You lost 1 : 0 to Sunderland last night...

Thought of the day: Life is short, enjoy everyday.

Hi all! Hows the weekends going ? =) Was still on medications, so my body was still on the sleepy side. I slept from 8pm all the way till today 8am. 12 hours sleep! Weee! *mouth opened* =D And so i woke up, 8am, washed up, and did some studying (sure anot?), as i was rewriting my notes, and revising, i heard drums and trumpets playing. It was a funeral of a neighbour, a lady. (which i think i met before.. but sorry i can't remember her..) From what i heard from mum, she was a divorcee, who stays with three other ladies who she rented her rooms to. What happened to her was that she fell in bathroom, knock onto something and thinking she was alright, she went to bed and sleep, and never wakes up! Sad !! It was so emotional hearing the drums and trumpets and the songs they were playing made me even more sad. Therefore i decided to stop for a while and many thoughts start coming into my head. We work hard for the money, we study hard to get that qualifications, and then suddenly we just passed away like that? Shouldn't we slow down our pace to look at things and people around us? Life is too short not to make the best and the most of everything that comes your way everyday. (Sasha Azevedo) Maybe this songs can make me and all of us feel better.

欢喜就好

MC today

The doctor declared me as having high fever, with 38.4 degrees. (Come to think of it, i can still work the day and see the doctor after i knock off..) With the blocked nose, i sounded like Barry White ! And so i am at home today, resting, and do a bit of revision for the upcoming exams. The rest of the time, shall be rest. * * * * * * * * Thank you to Belinda, i get to know this World Food Programme. We got food to eat, we got clothes to wear. How about people from other countries like Africa? We are lucky that we do not have major disasters in Singapore. Remember earthquake in Indonesia? The typhoons that devastated the Philippines? The most basic thing for them is Food. When was the last time you went hungry? Can you recall the feeling of the stomach shouting"please feed me~" ? I donated a small sum, but with the amount i donated, i hope it can help as many people as possible. Do help, by donating or please help to spread the words.

Sat outing with mum

Sat was spend going out with mum. I accompanied her to visit her God Ma, who had been taking care of her when she was young. Some tears would automatically flow everytime i visit her. There she was lying in bed, so thin(as she only survive on milk), and what she could do was only stare at us. Mum keep talking to her, all she could do was stare at us. I can still remember she was such a nice lady when we visit her family at my younger days. She makes milo, brings out all the biscuits for us... just so nice! And after a fall, she can only stare at us. Something grateful : she still can recognize us. I spotted some tears at the side of her eyes. Honestly i hope she can get well again, but... chances are so slim. Life is just so fragile. Do remember to treasure everyone around you. * * * * * * * * I am looking for khakis to watch '2012' next week. Anyday other than Wed. Anyone interested?

Dinner with my classmates

It was a dinner with my classmates on Thurs Night. We went Cineleisure for dinner, Xin Wang Cafe. Good job we done! Jenny, Karen and Moon. (Eunice was absent..) Let's work hard for our upcoming exams and graduate together! =) The food... The lovely classmates ! <3 And i became their member, so its a 10% discount at their outlets! Wee!!
