Mozilla Firefox 3.0

2008-06-19T08:25:00.003+08:00

Released much earlier than expected, Firefox 3 has been given good critics and it may have already became the top browser as of today. I am already using the new version and the new interface has really distinguished itself from the previous versions. Personally, I have been an user of Firefox for the past 2 years and I am really impressed by its improvement after every upgrade in version. I believe Firefox 3 will not disappoint me after reading through some of the reviews.

Rising of the New Age - 3.5G Era

2008-06-17T21:42:00.004+08:00

As the crowd are awaiting for the new 3G iPhone to be launched in Singapore, many are eying at other variants. Just announced this week, Nokia and Samsung have prodly presented their E71, E66 and i900 (Omnia) respectively. The Omnia is especially almost like an iPhone clone just that it is slightly a bit thicker. Nokia new E-series have a bolder design in terms of size despite that both providing new generation function such as HSDPA and Wi-Fi. Of course, all the phones mentioned here are all built-in with high resolution camera. I would hope that there would be a non-camera version for all the models, soon.

Price is still unknown right now but Singtel did release a price tag of <$300SGD for the 3G iPhone. So check it out again in a couple of months time!!

New "Street Directory" (Singapore Expats)

2008-06-15T13:02:00.005+08:00

As the dispute still on-going, life still carries on without the online street directory as can.com.sg was providing sufficiently user-friendly map interface for the online users. However, recently, the original can.com.sg has became mylifestyle.com. The map is no longer the usual map that we suppose to see. Slow loading, no bus-stop label have made things rather difficult for us online user.

Fortunate enough, there is still one online map provider that giving us user-friendly interface with great detail. Check out for yourself at Singapore Maps! Extremely fast and you will definitely find your intended place almost immediately with its simple and swift search function. It will be perfect if the map can zoom in for another level.

忘了 - 輕鬆玩樂團

2008-06-03T23:51:00.003+08:00

演唱:輕鬆玩樂團作詞：Summer Hsu、陳偉作曲：Summer Hsu

地板是黃的窗戶生鏽著
心情有點微涼是秋天來了
天花板上的老鼠還在唱著
怎麼這夏天就這樣過去了
嗯…...嗯…...啊…...啊…...

愛是不能夠期待什麼我怎麼又忘了
也只有伴隨著寂寞和痛一點的快樂
愛是不能夠要求太多我怎麼還是忘了
想愛你的時候為自己讓眼淚不停的泛流
才懂

空氣凍結著枯葉又落了
你說過的話從指縫間溜過
以為我能夠一直唱著
怎麼這雨季他又來了

愛是不能夠期待什麼我怎麼又忘了
也只有伴隨著寂寞和痛一點的快樂
愛是不能夠要求太多我怎麼還是忘了
想愛你的時候為自己讓眼淚痛快的泛流
才懂 (我才懂)

愛是不能夠我怎麼忘了
愛是不能夠我還是忘了
我怎麼忘了我忘了我忘了…...

Yes, Singapore requires to pay to watch soccer matches. Fortunate enough, Singapore soccer lover and non-soccer fans are going to look forward to the UEFA EURO 2008. This is because Starhub has announced today that it is offering 4 important 'LIVE' matches for free to all Singapore viewers, regardless if the viewer is a Starhub subscriber.

I felt excited too though I may not be a great soccer fans. I did not subscribed for the "STARHUB UEFA EURO 2008 Season Pass" so I will make sure I get to watch the free matches.

i-mate Ultimate 8502

Earning Opportunity

2008-05-14T17:44:00.004+08:00

If you have been actively blogging, I am sure that you may have already look into the earning opportunity while blogging. Google Adsense and AdBrite are the 2 famous international advertisement networks. Of course, there are also newly setup companies in Asia like Advertlets and Nuffnang. I am still testing on such opportunity though as you could see Zyaynation is a brand new blog space to share latest technology on mobile phones and software in the most simplified form. I may add in more under the earning opportunity while I am exploring.....

May want to look into forum as another alternative...

Eyeing for non-camera phone

2008-05-13T23:41:00.005+08:00

Having already one line contract due, I have yet to find a good new non-camera phone. Though Blackberry 8820 met most of the universal specification (of course without camera), it has gradually becoming outdated even it was only released around July last year! Blackberry 8830 has became the next option since it has upgraded from the same series from 2.5G to 3.5G. However, I could yet to find this model selling locally with line contract.

I saw i-mate Ultimate 8502 the last time and I thought this will be the most perfect phone, judging from the specification and look. Just too bad it comes with a built-in camera.

Latest Blackberry Bold, defeating the well-known Apple I-Phone, also looks appealing but too bad it does not come with a non-camera verison as of now. This bring me back to Nokia E51. Somehow, Nokia has released Nokia E51 non-camera version and it is selling locally. I may eventually upgrade my E61 to E51 soon but of course will hope for a better phone to be released within these few months.

I am going to take advantage of the number full portability, to be implemented in 13 Jun 08, to switch from Starhub to Singtel. I am already holding on to 2 Singtel lines and a Singnet broadband, so it will be worthwhile to switch my Starhub line over, still considering though. May look into Singtel mobile broadband too.

Zyaynation is back with more exciting updates!!! Watch out for this space!!!

Vapour has condensed

2008-01-13T12:04:00.000+08:00

After vapourised for so long, I have finally condensed back here... Haha...

Almost one year already, ever since I last updated this space.. For sure, no one will get to know this deserted already...

After so long, I really have many many things to ponder about... Too many things happened for the past one year... And I really could not believe that I have actually gotten over every obstacle that I have met... Think about it, it has been adventurous and dramatic though...

February First Post

2007-02-11T10:37:00.000+08:00

After quite some time, finally a new post in the new month.

Somehow I always have problem to pen down the events that have taken place. Many things flashed in my mind before I logged in to this blog. But my fingers will not type whenever I come to this space. Maybe is just my problem; describing in words has always been a challenge for me.

Once again, life still goes on. I make sure I am always 24/7 ready to be activated, be it operationally or administratively. That's should be the mindset when working in SAF, i suppose. Sorry no details as I do not want my photos to be published in news and papers. :P

Has been driving for a month. Yes, I have gotten used to it. Parking is no longer an issue however I should try on parallel parking when chance comes. But sad thing is that there is already a minor scratch on the left door. Haiz...

Going to be another lonely Valentine's day. Any volunteer want to have candlelight dinner with me on that day so that I would not have consecutive 4 years of loneliness? Nah, just joking. But if anyone of you wanna date me, please do not hesitate. I will try to make myself free even I am tied up with work. hahaha...

One week of driving

2007-01-19T21:33:00.000+08:00

Somehow I just feel that I have been driving for quite a long time... Maybe once you got your license, no matter how long you have not drive, you will just get used to it very easily...

I realised that I have many bad driving habits of which some were spotted by my friends when they were my vehicle commanders... :P I will try my best to kick those bad habit away else my car will need to be sent for servicing very often...

Feeling the stress

2007-01-11T22:17:00.000+08:00

Exactly 1 month has passed since I started work... No doubt I get to learn tonnes of new things but somehow it is still not enough... I have yet to develop confidence to make decision... This is mainly due to the fact that I still do not know my company well enough... I really have to understand up to the very little detail on every issue within the company...

I must not lost focus... Management of the company is my primary job... However I have to manage myself too... Very often, time and people will hinder me from moving on...

Muscles slacking down

2007-01-09T22:44:00.000+08:00

Do not ever think that one who is working in the Army is damn fit... Seriously there are times when work can pile up so high that there is no time for you to exercise your body... Time management is very crucial here to maintain both work and physical condition...

Just realised that my muscles are slacking down... Gonna visit the NIE gym after my work starting next week when I got my car... Hope to do this regularly to maintain my weight and fitness... May get to visit some of you guys and gals who are in NTU...

Surf & sweat '07 coming up... Still considering if I could join in this year or not... Anyone interested can try jioing me...

Getting my car next week!!!

2007-01-07T19:14:00.000+08:00

Made my final payment of upfront balance for my Toyota Vios (manual, black, OPC) today... Total cost of $29,861 (COE inclusive)... Will be collecting my car by next week (15th or 16th Jan 2007)...

Getting excited over it and I well believed that my family is also happy to have a new car before the Chinese New Year... One thing to worry is that I have not drove a car since I got my driving license about 3 years ago... So anyone wanna a free ride??? haha

Full focus on my career

2007-01-04T22:08:00.000+08:00

Started work for almost 1 month, adapting well... This is really a very challenging job for me but it is also providing me sufficient room to perform... I guess I gonna put in my maximum effort in my job... So will continue to be a long-term bachelor... :P

Getting my new car and my promotion this month... Also my first pay very soon... Really looking forward to all these... These will act as a motivation for me to move on despite the tough commitments ahead...

Life just goes on as time ticks away... Din really spend my holidays well... Think I have to spice up my life more else there will be nothing much for me to update here...

Brand new beginning for the brand new year

2007-01-02T22:47:00.000+08:00

A brand new appearance for my blog has just published today!!! I guess this is the only way to keep my software knowledge for a longer time since I have stepped into the workforce... I hope that I will get to update this page as frequent as possible to keep my IT brain working while I am on job... Of course not forgetting to update a little bit of myself on & off...

All graphics design are done using Adobe Photoshop CS2 and HTML is purely done via notepad editing... Gonna add in more ingredients if time permits... In all, the page will take black and white as main colours... Hope to put up more fancy and attractive images when I get to master Photoshop...

This is part of my new year resolution to keep my life going in the virtual world... Hope that you have take up your interest as part of your resolution too!!!
