There is something wrong with my blogger settings.. especially the dashboard. It's like it lost all it's formatting and left with the practical aspects of it only. Is it just me? or any of you facing it too?

testin :)

I'm super duper tired. SOOOooo not used to school life at SMU. Not to mention that i have decided to equip myself with three 8.30am classes a week. I have to admit that life in St Gallen has spoilt me terribly :(

Anyway, i'm stuck in my project management class right now.... which is soooooo not effective. I've tried paying attention out of respect to the prof, but seriously, he's not teaching anything!!! I'm quite sure all of us can learn more by spending this time reading the textbook rather than sitting in his class. It's kinda frustrating, considering how i had high expectations for this course. Project Management is a lot about application, but this guy, even though he's still in the working world, teaches us as if we're either in Year 1 or perhaps even JC. growls.

So while i'm struggling to survive in this class, shall share with you the only 5 decent pics i manage to get at Night Safari last Saturday, without a tripod. it's kinda pathetic, but considering that i didn't manage to get even one pic the last time i was there, I suppose it's an improvement. haha.

Check out the highlighted abs. haha

Leopard spots

All in all, it was an enjoyable evening. It was pretty quiet and a good evening stroll. I love acting tourist with zm right now. haha. I suppose we're just trying to relive our europe days? heh :)

Note to those who feel like going Night Safari soon! They are having 50% off entrance fee for POSB card or starhubs bill :P

it feels as though i just lost a friend
but i really hope that's not true.

My HP com has dieded

Hi. I received the HP Pavilion Tablet on 22 August 2007 (less than two weeks ago) and I am very unsatisfied with the product. It has been very unreliable, despite it being a new laptop.

First of all, I ordered the product via the student promotion for various reasons: good price, reasonable reviews and a delivery date of 13 August, which was before the start of the school term. Unfortunately, there was a delay in shipment and I was only able to collect it from 20 August. This nonetheless has interfered with my school term and brought me inconvenience as I had to borrow a laptop from a friend for a time being.

Worst of all, I have been experiencing a lot of problems with it. This includes sudden closure of my applications such as Windows Media Player, Windows unable to start (but did after I off and on the laptop again), the blue screen popped up once during usage and also sometimes long loading or shutting down time. There was once where I waited for the laptop for about 15 minutes to shut down but it didn’t. The screen was black but the laptop was still running (with the button lights still on). There have also been requests for the system to check one of the disks for consistency. I don’t know whether this is a problem with the Vista interface or perhaps the compatibility of your product with Windows Vista or the product itself.

Currently, I am unable to start Windows. Upon switching on the laptop, I face a screen which tells me that Windows is unable to launch. I have tried the Startup Repairs a couple of times, but it does not work. I called your HP Customer Careline today and requested for a pickup. They say that they can only pick it up tomorrow and it will take about 7 to 9 days for me to get it back.

I have no choice but to use my more than 3 years old IBM laptop to support this uncalled for interim period. It’s really a big disappointment after switching to buying HP upon hearing good comments of your products from my mum who is a HP user. Another reason for my this purchase was the reputable customer support. Is it true?? I hope so … I would therefore urge your organisation to look into my problems urgently since this is my final year in the university.

Looking forward to my “brand new” laptop back with all problems rectified soonest possible to facilitate all my pending projects.

Thank You.
