Heartland Esplanade

itunes: 黃韻玲, 巴結音樂Bossa Nova & Jazz (2001)









Setting: Esplanade Theatre, 5 July 2007, 7:47pm
Show: Dum Sum Dollies Musical

Apparently, this young lady must be thinking, going to the Esplanade is similar to going for a weekend movie at GV Cinemas in the heartlands. I'm not saying that she is not discreetly dressed but I suppose she should dress up more appropriately, out of respect for the casts and the production. As much as Singapore is trying to show the world that we are not a cultural desert here, it seems that many still needs to be educated on social graciousness.

Take a closer look at the third and fourth pictures. Yes it's not fooling your eyes. She re-appeared from the hall, lottered at the lobby, and happily munching away a packet of seaweed snacks, wondering around at the same time. This is indeed an eye-sore in such a pleasant evening.

I have posted these pictures on STOMP to shame her publicly. Haha I'm so good in being bad. If she doesn't deserve it, who else does?

Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows

itunes: Chara, Caramel Milk (2000)

What a big pleasant surprise! Singpost delivered my copy of Harry Potter at 7.05am just now. I'm truly amazed as I have specified to have the copy to be sent to my doorstep in the afternoon when placing order 2 months ago.

Yeah now I can join the rest of the Potter fans around the globe to grab a copy of the Potter's fate in the first minutes of its worldwide release today, in comfort at home.....hehe I'm so excited....thanks to Singpost!!!! :O)

I must finish reading the book by this weekend.

CNN vs CNA

itunes: Momento, Bebel Gilberto

Sigh, my PC recovered and it's my mobile phone's turn now. My PC simply refused to recognise it after empteen times of connecting and disconnecting the cable, uninstall and reinstall the driver. So the person that I mentioned I'm going to shame in my previous blog is not going to happen today. Surely I will get it up real soon hehe. Instead I have got something to shame CNA (Channel NewsAsia) a bit today.

I was doing cardio in my gym at 7am this morning when one of the 42 inch Samsung flatscreen tvs in front of me, CNN has been flashing the breaking news footages of the Airbus 320 crushed into building in San Paulo almost every 5 minutes till 7.30am. On the other tv, the pathetic CNA morning news reported the same piece of news by merely showed the map of Brazil with a reference to the city of San Paulo, 2 - 3 times perhaps during the same period that's all.

Anyway, out of curiousity, I visited CNA website and read about this organisation:

"Established in March 1999, Channel NewsAsia positions itself as an Asian TV News channel, fully complemented by English and Chinese online portals that provide news and information on global developments with Asian perspectives."

"vision is to become one of Asia’s top media companies by delivering valued content to the world."

"Channel NewsAsia is created for Asians by Asians."

As a top new agency in Singapore with satellite sites all over Asia, is not it amazing that CNA cant secure the first hand footages of such news event like this? Or should I comfort myself by saying that since CNA is a media created for Asians by Asians, so breaking news from South America will not be put much emphasis here. I see I see, so I guess CNA will have a looooooooooooooooong way to prove itself as a world class like CNN. Oh yes, I almost forget, it seems CNA does not aspire to be world class like all of our government agencies here do, or it is because CNA simply want to be one of the best in Asia. hmmmm did I say CNA is Singapore government-linked company?

Temperature Rising....

itunes: not activated
Denon Hi-Fi: 艶華-Enka-, 中森明菜 (2007)

That's my CPU temperature when I just log in here, according to my ASUS PC Probe software. Goodness gracious! The CPU and power fans both are down and I'm still wondering why. It has been a week. Fuck. My life is ruin, just like the Roman Empire....sobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb.

48°C
Just a couple of minutes, the number escalated. If this is the number in my bank account, that's really nice....the fact that I have removed the CPU casing and it does not have at all.

59°C
Threshold is reaching soon. The beeping sound started.

71°C NOW!!!!
ASUS said CPU temperature overheated!!

Ok got to go....will be back real soon.
