sure was windy the other night. the curtain in the living room blew up like a parachute. we had to close all the windows due to the impending storm. as it turned out there was no storm brewing. but the gall wind did cause considerable damage as evidenced by all the fallen trees i saw on my way to work the next morning. even heard of a crane atop a condominium that broke in half and some ships being damaged. a bit closer to home a tree fell on top of a neighbours car at the upper thomson house.

am considering getting starhub cable for the bedok house.
i am missing out on a whole lot of my favourite shows here. although the cost may be considerable, starhub does give value-for-money programming, unlike Mio, which we have now.

am also considering getting a new phone in due time. the current one is starting to show wear and tear. i am torn between getting a Come's With Music Nokia phone and a Blackberry. I am adverse to Nokia phones since the beginning. have never owned one. and thought I never would. until now. Come's With Music phone come with one year unlimited downloads! a sweet deal if ever there was one.
the other contender is the Blackberry Storm.

which is a real beauty to behold. and jam packed with all the features I love.
so it is a straight fight between free music and a sexy phone.

got the cooker hob repaired the other day after much delay. hope it works now. will be attempting to cook this weekend. we shall see...

Liverpool will be playing on 26th July. will try to procure tickets if Agnes and others are keen. Speaking of Liverpool, what a season they are having. they have been at the heart of some of the most exciting matches this season. if only they could win the EPL title this season. but 4-4 draws whilst entertaining do not do much good to winning titles.

the expected wave of optimism around St. James's Park has not materialised in results on the pitch as expected when Toon legend Alan Shearer took the reins with 8 matches to go. They are counting on home wins in their 4 home games to stave off relegation worries, as they 'blow the roof off the place'.
