January is a record breaking month for the blog and my tweets. In another sign that I’m really “free”, I’ve just made a record number of tweets, well, these stats are generated based on the number of new tweets, RTs and replies. So for January, I’ve made 662 tweets!
As for the blog, because of the Starhub TVB Awards photos and videos that I’ve posted, there were 2868 visitors for January, the highest since I’ve started this blog and on 30 January, the one day visitorship was 1328.
I just want to thank everyone for their support and of course, I’ll continue to blog cause it has become a way of my life.

I was surprised to see Yesterday.sg posting a link to my blog post on my visit to Chinatown. Well, I’ve actually drop by their site and left a comment that I’ve made a post about my visit to Chinatown and didn’t expect them to broadcast to everyone via Twitter about it.
So what is Yesterday.sg all about? It is a website that talks about the heritage of Singapore and provides updates to the different heritage exhibitions going on at our museums.
If you’ve missed the post on my visit to Chinatown, you can still read it here. |
Since Singtel launched the iPhone 1 year ago, I’ve decided that I’m going to have 1. But due to my mobile contracts and really bad experience previously with Singtel, I’ve decided to hang on and wait for Starhub to start selling it. 1 year plus later, finally Starhub has launch it.
I got my HTC Magic as a replacement previously and since iPhone is launched, I’ve decided to change it and trade in my HTC Magic, its not that the Magic is no good, but I thought, I just want to own an iPhone. This time round, not only I’m having 1 but I’m getting wifey 1 too. She was alittle hesitant cause she is really worried that she doesn’t know how to use it. Well, who knows how to use it when they first touch it, so we gotta LEARN!
We are getting the same colour, which is white, but I’m getting a 32 gb while hers is 16gb. She is really excited about it after seeing mine so I’m really looking forward to see her expression when she get hers. For info, she had not collected hers yet cause Starhub couldn’t process her re-contract voucher in time, so ended up, they are sending the phone to us. Excellent service I will say.
In the meantime, I will say that Starhub has done extremely well in terms of customers relations. They know that their 1633 line will definitely burst, so what they did was to engage their customers via Facebook and Twitter. And of course, it will be better if you are their platinum customer, as a platinum customer, my wait was just 10 minutes before I had my hands on my iPhone.
For more details on Starhub iPhone, you can visit this section that I’ve created to update all the related stuff.
Tweet, Facebook and Blog! This is the comments that I’ve got recently. Many people around me are just surprise how come I keep complaining that I’m busy yet I can still do the 3 task that I’ve just mentioned. I can only say that these are some ways for me to de-stress. In any case, accessing these 3 tasks are simple job, its just a touch screen away, I mean I can do it via my phone.
So what’s your way of de-stressing?
Happened to come across this website that generate Tweet Stats and I just can’t believe it, I’ve made 10 times more tweets now compared to what I did 7 months ago. Just take alook at this graph.
I never regretted signing up for a Twitter account. Other than being a way for me to destress, to complain etc, I’m also kept updated with all the latest happenings around the world and around me. Of course, its also a new method to communicate with my friends and neighbours.
You can join me on Twitter too!
We are now officially one more step closer to Australia. We’ve collected Ethan’s passport and we’ve applied for the Visa. We are now left with getting our luggage repaired (it was faulty after our HK trip) and checking through the itinery that Jingyi has planned.
On the passport, we collected it from ICA like 2 weeks back. It was surprising and shocking cause when we collected our queue ticket, it was indicated that there were 200 people in front of us. We can’t be sitting down aimlessly and I suggested going for a quick meal. We had ours at the coffeeshop which was located opposite ICA since the canteen was closed for renovation. We’ve waited for 45 mins before it was our turn to collect Ethan’s passport (including the time taken to eat).
As for the Visa, we’ve got it from Pricebreakers. It was about $20 Singapore dollars per visa which I thought was already quite cheap since it cost $20 Australian dollars per visa if you applied it online. But I was told by my colleague that we can actually get it for $10!
I’m now also thinking how should I tweet, facebook and update my blog in Sydney. I was advised by Starhub not to bring my Max Mobile to Sydney otherwise I’ll be incurring thousands of dollars for my bills. If you know how to surf, do let me know.
Little sleep, long hours of work has begin once again. With about 8 more weeks to go before I can go for my official break, I’m so looking forward to it. Afterall, this has been a year which I’ve spent more time in office then at home and a year with projects after projects. Sometimes, there are pro and cons to it, but I would feel happy about it cause at least I’ve got something to do.
Time passes by us like rocket speed and looking bad, I’m really surprised that I’ve managed to pull through the ordeal. Whatever it is, for now, I’m still trying to find a time to update my blog about my poly class gathering (which happened on Saturday) and the surprise gift that I’ve got for Jingyi (not a surprise anymore since you will know what I’ve gotten for her if you are on my Facebook or Twitter). I hope the busy schedule can temporarily make me not think about my next purchase, MBP, though, my friend CS has kept reminding me of the good deals, which still makes me really tempted to buy one.
Till then, I’m off to the start of another crazy day ahead.
So you’ve heard about Brunch? Its a combination of breakfast and lunch. And so tonight, I posted on Twitter that I’ve got Lunner, which is a combination of Lunch and Dinner.
Guess what, my friend posted a list of possible short forms of meals that are being combined together. Look at our Facebook conversation.
I’ve attended for the first time, Punggol North Street Parade. I was simply impress with all the things that I’ve seen because its like a mini Chingay. The street parade was held in conjunction with racial month in July. The guest of honour was DPM Teo Chee Hean, MP for Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC, Ms Penny Low, MP for Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC and 3 other MP for the GRC.
Before the start of the parade, there was also an attempt to break the Singapore record for the most number of people to form the longest human train on the road. And guess what, WE DID IT!
7 schools participated in the street parade competition and I can tell you, the performance was fantastic and the students defintely put in lots of effort for it. Thanks to the sponsors, residents were treated to FREE food, from Kueh Tutu, soya bean milk to Mee Siam, Mee Goreng and even Peking Duck. I don’t think there is any event which gives away free food for residents.
Anyway, I’ll defintely be attending the next one next year and of course, continue to provide LIVE update via Twitter.

Facebook and Twitter has become part of life, at least, I could personally feel it. Before I’ve changed my phone, I’ve always visited their mobile site so that I can update my twitter update or check on my friend’s status on Facebook. But since I changed my phone, everything has become so much easier cause the Twitter and Facebook app has been downloaded to my phone.
People around me have also become sensitive when I start using my phone. Whenever I start doing something on my phone, my colleagues or friends will ask me, “Are you tweeting again?” They were amazed at how updated my Facebook status is, well, I’ve actually linked my Twitter with my Facebook account.
Anyway, if you are interested, you can follow me at Twitter.
