iPad Launching in Singapore- a total disappointment!












I am not impressed with the iPad launching here in Singapore.
Do you know why?

Because....

No MORE STOCKS!!!

My friend had a favor. She was able to secure 32gig ipad wifi+3g and have asked me to unbox it.

So here are the pics!


But me??

I think I'm gona have to wait till next month for the next ipad wifi+3g stock to arrive??

Pathetic!

Sometimes I hate apple for making me feel this way!

Apple launching means = Some people get to go home with their ipad , happy.
Others go home for NOTHING ..emotions down, sad, tired, hungry , disappointed because of the long queues and failed hopes !!

I feel so rejected now!

Early morning flash floods cause havoc all over again



A torrential downpour in the early hours of Saturday morning triggered flash floods in various parts of Singapore. 
Among the hardest hit areas were Braddell Road, Joo Chiat Terrace, Changi Road, Opera Estate, Bukit Timah and Delfi in Orchard Road. 
It is the fourth time in recent months that heavy rain caused havoc to motorists and resulted in severe flooding. 
Twitter user and Fly Entertainment CEO Irene Ang (@flyirene) commented, “My whole lane — Joo Chiat Terrace –  and I heard Telok Kurau and Geylang also!” when asked by Yahoo! how badly affected her area was. 

Irene Ang's Twitter comment, "Me and my neighbours' 10 houses sharing a 25meter lap pool now!"

Twitter followers of @yahooSGnewsroomWinnilicious and PohLeng, also said Tampines and homes in Opera Estate were also hit. 
Residents staying in Opera Estate awoke to screams from neighbours alerting them that flood waters were gushing into their homes, even as trash bins, buckets and shoes went floating down the road.  
The Straits Times reported that the basement carpark in Tessarina Condominium and Cluny Court in the Bukit Timah area were submerged in knee-high waters. 
Singapore Civil Defence Force personnel also had to evacuate 60 people in 20 different places, including passengers who were stuck in an SBS bus along Upper Thomson Road. 
The same paper reported that shops along the area were badly damaged, with huge fridges overturned and smashed. 
24-hour food haunt The Prata Shop was also badly hit, with thigh-high waters flooding the eatery and leaving about 50 customers stranded.
Owner Mr Ikbal Mohamed Ali, 55, was quoted as saying, “It’s the worst flood in our 18 years of business. Three of our refrigerators toppled over.” 
The Delfi Orchard, which was hit by its worst flooding in 26 years last month, was again not spared.
One of the building’s tenants, Ms Shanta Sundarason, told the same paper, “So much for the ‘once in 50 years freak flood’ along Orchard Road. It would be nice for the problem to be addressed and dealt with, rather than a sweeping statement from the ministry.” 
Beside Wheelock Place, fast food chain, Wendy’s, which is under renovation after incurring S$500,000 in damages from last month’s flood, was also submerged in waist-deep water.
By about 1pm, however, most of the floods in low-lying areas had receded. 
Late last month, PM Lee warned Singaporeans that they cannot expect the island republic to be completely free of floods. 
“I don’t think it is possible in Singapore to expect the place to be completely free of floods,” he said, as torrential downpours are a part of the climate for “an island in the tropics”. 
He also added, “We have to learn from these episodes, do post-mortems, find out what happened, and upgrade our infrastructure and systems.” 
Thank you for the incredible, amazing response to Yahoo!’s Fit-To-Post blog so far. We continue to welcome your views and comments but please don’t abuse this opportunity. Be nice. Be courteous. Be sensible. Respect the feelings of others and refrain from using any kind of offensive language.

Get a Diamond-Encrusted iPhone 4 for Just $20,000




We’ll take two, thanks!

These gaudy gadgets come unlocked “for worldwide use” and absolutely sparkling with 6.5 carats of VVS quality, F-color diamonds and a complimentary carrying case made of ostrich foot. The back of the device features a solid platinum and diamond version of the Apple logo.

You can order one now from jeweler/gadget-monger Stuart Hughes — but order quickly, as only 50 of these devices will be made.

This latest foray into luxury goods of indubitable opulence and questionable taste calls to mind a similarly bedecked iPad which surfaced in March. This device features 11.43 carats of hand-set, micro-pave diamonds and retails for a mere $19,999.

If diamonds alone aren’t your thing, you could also go for this gold-covered iPad, which we found back in May. Or, you could spring for the $3 million jewel-sprinkled, solid gold 3GS Stuart Hughes rolled out last fall.

As humble journalists, we find that the Stuart Hughes version of the iPhone 4 is just outside the realm of our summer toys fund; we can, however, recommend an excellent gadget for those who would have bling on a budget. It’s called a Bedazzler, and it’s iPhone and Android compatible. You’re welcome.



What do you think: Is this take on the iPhone 4 a bit much — in terms of aesthetics, price, or both?

9 Puppies in need of a home





Saw this post in my facebook wall and it broke my heart.
These pups are soooo cute to be abandoned.
Wish I could adopt any of them but unfortunately, they are not HDB approved.


So I am helping them in my own little way to get a good home.


"Many puppies were born stray, and they most definitely did not choose for that. Just like any other puppy, they deserve to be loved and cared for. Will you be the one to give them a second chance in life? 

This 9 puppies are in need of adoption/fostering as the condition that they are leaving in, are not ideal. The area gives the puppies dirty fur and rashes easily and there is always the fear of the puppies going missing.

When the puppies were only 1.5 months, two of the puppies got involved in an accident. One of them, unfortunately, died tragically.. with its intestines and inner organs all falling out. The other one was really fortunate to survive, but with a crashed tail. The lucky one was then named Shortie, because of its tail.

Two other puppies (Brown & Milky) were being adopted previously but got returned as the families said that they could not handle the puppies' mischievous acts. 

The puppies were most likely being born on the 16 of April.

Please contact Crystal at 97860886/ deluded_hope@hotmail.com or Suat at 90308662/ suat@brainwavedesign.com if you are interested to give these puppies a new lease of life."

When you're DOWN to nothing, God is UP to something!

Good morning everyone!
It's 6am here Singapore time and what a day to start with this awesome prayer.
Be blessed! :)

Father, in the name of Jesus, bless me and my loved ones while I'm reading this prayer. Open doors in our lives today and set us free from bondage, and give us a double portion of your Spirit as we take back everything that the enemy has stolen:

****Prayer Time
****Marriages
****Relationships
****Children
****Emotional Health
****Physical Health
****Jobs
****Finances
****Homes
****Friends

I cancel every plot, plan and scheme the enemy has devised against us in the name of JESUS.
Lord, keep us under the umbrella of Your protection and help us to never stray from the centre of Your will or off the path You have for us. Enable us to always hear Your voice guiding us and send Your angels to keep charge over us. Thank you, Lord, that no weapon formed against us will prosper.

I speak LIFE into every dead situation. Bind up our wounds, Lord, and restore our soul. Help us to release the past so that we will not live in it, but learn from it, break out of it, and move into the future You have for us.

I thank You, Lord, that nothing is over until YOU say it's over! Speak prophetically into our lives and to our situations:

****Our Prayer Time is blessed
****Our walk with You is blessed
****Our Ministries are blessed
****Our Marriages are blessed
****Our Relationships are blessed
****Our Children are blessed
****Our siblings are blessed
****Our Emotional Health is blessed
****Our Physical Health is blessed
****Our Jobs are blessed
****Our Finances are blessed
****Our Homes are blessed
****Our Businesses are blessed
****Our Parents are blessed
****Our Grandchildren are blessed
****Our friends are blessed

AMEN!

Stay blessed - always :-)))
