Thasevi Roti Prata

Went to Thasevi to eat roti prata. Afternoon is hot, so I guessed there wasn't many people.

My favourite chicken legs still taste as good :)

The egg prata is nice. Is it me or the kor song prata (plain prata) size has shrunk? I can now eat 2x kor song and 1x egg + 2 chicken legs.

Scenic walk to the West Loop LRT.


Notice some new flats under construction in west side of Sengkang (Fernvale)

PS: iPhone 3GS camera again. Hee.

Last week, I clocked 105MB. This week today 336MB (total since 11 July 2009). :)


Compassvale View

Took 2 Compassvale View flats using iPhone 3GS...bright daylight so exposure generally OK.

Look like they are almost OK, should be ready by early next year. :)

Next Bus Arrival Time iPhone App

I found this extremely useful iPhone apps called tranSGuide!

It can display the arrival times for all the buses of any bus stop.

Without this app, my old method was to send SMS to 74474. This SMS method costs 5 cents and it can only get one bus arrival time per message.

tranSGuide let me glance all the arrival times in one go. Cool! :)

Fine Cuts Premium Meat at The Central Clake Quay

When I saw the fridge displaying lots of red meat, I was already drawn to it. I pointed to a piece of Australian tenderloin and ordered a medium well.

As a meat eater, I love the it :)

Review can be found in soshiok.com

Photos: exposure, focus, sharpness all off, no thanks to iPhone camera. LOL

GPS on iPhone 3GS in Singapore

Found a free GPS app. And it can be used in Singapore. The blue arrow is my travel path.


But I haven't found a way to see the map view only. Don't want to see the physical layout.

Running web server on iPhone

Found that can run a web server on iPhone using File Lite v 1.3.2. as the OS of iPhone is OS X/Unix.


I used it to upload my Hebrew Bible. As current there is no Hebrew Bible app. To read Hebrew Bible, I have to access the Internet.

Singtel Data Plan Usage for iPhone 3GS

Used the iPhone 3GS for 1 week, surfed net daily (1 hour per day during journey) mainly on Facebook, websites, forums, MSN chat, Straits Times, Hungry Go Where, location-based service, Google Maps.

My 3G is permanently connected too.



And this is how much I have used. So little! I guessed 1GB data plan is more than sufficient.

105MB per week, 1 month will be around 450MB...

Happy :) As I dun feel restricted. Just used and never think about over the quota. 500MB data plan will cause a little restrictive feeling...

Breathtaking view with cranes silhouette.

As usual, treasure the time and enjoy the sunrise...as when Compassvale Beacon flats are fully up, the beautiful sunrise will be blocked.

I got my iPhone 3GS!

I got my iPhone 3GS ... very last minute!

Initially I changed my pre-order to collect after launch day at CompassPoint as people queued for 6 hours today. But my wife asked me to try tonight as probably at night not many people.

So last minute, I went down to Orchard.

I reached about 820pm and was ushered from one station to anther pretty fast. And I reached the first tent around 930pm. By 10pm already into ComCentre and doing the purchase.

I pre-ordered the white one but I changed my mind to the black one last minute. Hee.

I enjoyed my buying experience as the queue is not long and the weather is cooling (as it was raining). :)

iPhone Singtel launch too long queue!

As I read on internet forums that the queue was very long and that Singtel website stated 6 hours queue, I decided to change my pre-order. So I didn't go down to Singtel Orchard ComCentre today. :)

I change my collection point to Compass Point and a later date.

Compassvale View - Zoom In...

Let's zoom in to 2 details in Compassvale View today.

Look at the windows and the rooftop....also the bright orange colour.

The aircon place at the left side. So the window is opened in this way.

The thing on the left side of the photo is the clothes hanger?



These are the entire flats photos. Can't see much differences from the previous photos.

iPod Touch cannot be detected after upgraded to Leopard

My first problem after I upgraded my OS X Tiger to Leopard without re-format.

My iPod Touch cannot be detected!

The iPod Touch can be detected on my other computer, my iPod Nano can be detected. Swopping of USB cables dun help.



The Internet points me to Apple's Knowledge Base http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747

Delete iTunes and AppleMobileDevice.kext and re-install iTunes and everything is fine again! :)
