Due to laziness and lack of timeness, i have decided to import the posts from the blog I made for my wife for our wedding day ( www.iheartwing.com) and concentrate on posting at boliaosia.com. Don't worry Wing, most of the posts will be about you .... I promise!
I have also change the template for boliaosia.com. Still have some adjustments to do ..... when I have the time and feel better .... sick .....
Just collected our wedding pics from Alvin yesterday, hope to post some pics in the future.
A little update on Wing's life ...
Her teeth is now brand new after 3 treatments at Dr. Leong's clinic. No more pain!!
She also celebrated her birthday and our 1 year anniversary last month. Made her a special atm card that can be used weekly by swiping it at my backside. =) Real money will be issued okay!
P.S Like the new blogger changes ... very easy to use now. :)
Previously, I mentioned that Eric strike 4d first prize, now its my turn!!Last week I strike 4d!! Not first prize though. I bought the hotel room number that Wing was staying at when I went to Jie Xin Niang 接新娘 and won the "starter prize" =) Not as much as first prize but got strike I happy liao haha. However ....
On Wednesday, Wing tooth got very painful after washing her teeth. It was so painful that she cried many times. At it was night time and dental clinics are closed, we went to KK Hospital 24 hours clinic first to check if there it was safe to take some medication to stop the pain to last till the next day so that we could go visit a dentist. The nurse said that we could take the normal panadol (safe for pregnancy) but it could not stop the pain. Then we went to SGH Accident and Emergency (A and E) department to see the emergency dentist but the wait was too long and they do not have the equipment there.
"Chewing Gum" stops the pain
Then finally ... after some more google searching on the phone we finally found a 24hrs dentist! Thank god that someone at Flowerpod posted the contact of a dentist who provides 24 hours dental services. I rang up the dentist, who I think was sleeping at that time and he kindly agreed to meet us at his clinic. After some examination, he found out the problem and we did a root canal treatment to treat the tooth and save it. That was the first treatment and now Wing's tooth has a chewing gum like thing protecting her tooth. 2 more treatments to go and hopefully her tooth problems are over. Thankfully she does not feel any pain now.
For those who are desperately looking for a dentist late at night, you can look for Dr. Leong. I will copy the flowerpod user and post his website and contact details here he he. Good things must share right. =)
Dr H C Leong Dental Surgeon Tel: 9671 1096. Website: www.leongdental.com.sg Address: 8 EU Tong Sen Street #20-86 The Central (Office 2)
The clinic is really nice. Makes you feel at ease. Nice doctor, nice view, nice design.
I think fortunately (or maybe unfortunately =P) for him, there are quite a number of people who has called him at night because of the flowerpod post. The power of flowerpod he he. Thank you Dr. Leong! Without your help, I don't know what will happen. Wing finished the treatment at around 3am (!) and Dr. Leong was still very alert. As for me, I was sleeping like a pig while he was doing the treatment ... there goes my 4D winnings =P .....
Yesterday we went to the Mothercare fair at Harbour Front (must queue to go in!) to check out the prices for some of the baby items. Baby is due in June. Time to prepare for baby Wu!! She already bought a lot of stuff from Hong Kong though heh. Now we need a baby bed, stroller and some other stuff. A few more upcoming fairs at Takashimaya and Expo to go before buying. Hope we can get good deals.
Oh ya ..
Last Sunday, we ate dinner at Chomp Chomp and went to Night Safari with Wing's brother. My first time is more than 10 years I think heh. I shall end this post with a picture we took there. As it was dark and my camera is lousy at night, there are no pictures of real animals. Hope this will do ...
We like it a lot but I feel that I could be thinner (really gained a lot of weight since I met Wing) :p ...... serious exercise time!!! A little too late for wedding photos, but not too late for future photos! Fat guys like me who are going to have their wedding soon, remember to exercise!
Thanks Alvin for the wonderful photos and accommodating to our changes in timing. You are a great guy!
Those who are finding a wedding photographer can try looking for him at dphotofolio.
Went to Clarke Quay and Marina Bay Sands with Wing and her brother yesterday. Ate at the delicious but rather expensive Freemantle Seafood Market. The fish I ordered (forgot what name, I think Cod Liver), was really nice. Got a little bit of a bill shock though lol.
The view at Marina Bay Sands was fantastic. Very cool and windy there, so unlike the normal Singapore weather. We took some pictures and got our very own picture souvenir there.
Surfing on the Skypark
Going to Night Safari later, and choosing our photographs for printing next Friday. See you next time!
Hellooooo blog. I have been so busy the past few weeks I have not been able to update you, so sorry about that. I even missed your 1 year anniversary last week he he. Ha ha, boliaosia.com is 1 years old! I have renewed the domain name for another year, so I guess I will still be blogging for a long long time heh. Updates will be less often or shorter than before I guess, since I will be busy at work and maybe play most of the time. You know I only blog when I am bo liao, have nothing better to do or want to share some good stuff he he. No work related stuff on this blog though. (In case employers are reading my blog …. Hi!)
Anyways … Speaking of sharing good stuff, there is something I have been using the past 1 month plus which I really like and want to share with anyone reading my blog. My new 24 inch LG W2486L monitor!!
I actually received this amazing monitor from LG as a trial last month and have since been using it every day without fail. I guess it’s hard for someone to avoid using a monitor if he surfs the net every day =P. I’m actually looking at it while I am typing this sentence i.e. I’m using it now la. It is certainly better than my previous monitor (also 24 inch) and I love it a lot!
My room before the monitor arrived looked like this …
Really messy and cramp with 2 monitors – one 24 inch, one 17 inch. Plus rubbish around and messy cables.
That was my pc setup before the arrival of the LG W2486L ….
I was really excited when the monitor arrived at my house and immediately went to take some pictures of the box and most importantly what’s inside the box =)
In case you are interested in the packaging of the monitor, I took pics of it from different angles. There is a post it note which has my name on it at the side of the box he he. In the box, you have the monitor (duh), the monitor stand, vga cable,dvi cable, power cable, installation cd, manuals and stuff. Too bad there is no HDMI cable included.
So … let’s get on to the star of this post …. THE 24 INCH LG W2486L! It really looks very nice … easily the best looking monitor I ever had.
After screwing the base in and placing it upright, you can see how beautiful this baby looks. The back of the monitor and its front border are glossy black, the stand is red and it has red lights on its buttons (okay not really buttons but sort of like touch screen buttons). The power button is shaped like an eagle eye with a matching red light. Very elegantly designed indeed. There are 2 HDMI connectors, 1 DVI connector, 1 VGA connector and an audio out jack. I use both of the HDMI slots. 1 for my PC, the other for my ps3 =) You can also plug in your HD Setup box from Starhub or Mio and make it a TV he he. It’s like a Full HD TV! There are no inbuilt speakers though, so you have to plug your own speakers into the monitor’s audio out jack. If you have digital speakers than no problem …. Just connect them straight to your HD setup boxes, Xbox 360s or PS3 =)
Some Specs of the monitor you might wanna know ….
Size / Resolution – 24 inch / Full HD 1920*1080 Colours – 16.7m Contrast Ratio – 2000000:1 (Waaa!) Response Time – 2ms Panel Surface – Anti-glare
Because it’s a LED monitor it is able to have a super high contrast ratio of 2 mil to 1!! The LED technology also enables the monitor to consume less power and be slimmer and lighter than your usual LCD monitors …
The monitor can be tilted forwards and backwards and is only 20mm thick … thinner than my $1 coin! As seen in the pictures above, it is also thinner than my previous 24inc and 17 inch monitors. Because it is using LED technology, according to the information they provided, the monitor uses around 50% less power than its previous model and it’s Eco-Friendly. I can’t confirm those claims though, because I dunno how to test them lol. We just have to read and believe lor. It does feel good knowing that you might be saving electricity though heh.
So … how does my computer table look like right now?
At first, I tidied up the table and rearranged the monitors to this ….
I used the new LG monitor as my main PC monitor and the older Acer 24 inch monitor as my TV. The 17 inch is just lying around somewhere in my house at the moment. If I add another monitor, I can do this …
Coooooool
However, I found it a little too overcrowded for my small table though so I rearrange the monitors again to this …
Now the table has only 1 monitor and it looks much neater. This will be my computer and gaming area. So where is the other monitor?
I shifted it together with some small tables I found to the bottom of my bed to form my TV area he he …
So now I have 2 entertainment areas in my super small room =) Don’t worry, Kimi still have her own area to sleep.
Now that the room is arranged, I can finally use my new monitor!
As a PC, because of its really wide screen, I can actually easily multitask, arranging the programs neatly on the screen. Good for people who likes to watch DVDs and chat at the same time while surfing the net or for work and projects … just mix and match =P
I tried using the Starhub HD Setup box on the monitor and everything looked good, just like a Full HD Lcd TV. Gaming and videos on PS3 looks great too. I completed Uncharted 2 using this monitor and now I am playing Bayonetta and have no problems so far.
Here is a video I took while I was trying out the Dante’s Inferno demo I downloaded.
Seems like a really cool game … very God of War like. Sorry for the background coughing ... was quite sick when I took the video =P
I really like this monitor and I definitely want to keep it if possible. As I have mentioned before, I received this monitor as a part of a trial and when I received it, it was not out in Singapore yet. I’m not sure if it’s out now, but do check it out if you want to upgrade your current monitor. It’s worth it. =)
In case you were wondering where all the rubbish went … they were all shifted to the table beside =P
PS: If you have bought the monitor and find that the colours look little weird when viewing pictures in windows vista, check this site to solve the problem. It helped me solved mine =
Lol at the end I manged to play Dragonica for only 15 mins before the closed beta preview ended. Waited so long for the torrent to finish downloading. From my 15 min experience, I think it will be a good game and will defnitely try it out when the open beta is live. I like the cute graphics and the controls are good, easy to pick up, similar to maple story but in 3D. I prefer this type of game where you control the character's movement with the arrow keys and jump around like those hack and slash games rather than those which you click to move your character around.
As I only played for 15 min I only got myself to lvl 3 so only got 3 skills. As usual I played as a warrior. Managed to take a few pics for fun to post here.
My Character Wusama. Bought the bruce lee suit in the cash shop with the free cash IAH provided. Got one UFO pet also lol.
Charging one of my skills
Take that!!
Super slash!!
Making silly poses
Hopefully I there is an option to make the resolution higher. Not sure if there is one as I did not have much time to explore settings.
So thats how I spent 15 mins of my time on Valentines day, what an interesting life I have huh. 1 hour more till the end of Valentines day ... yahooooooo!
By the way the instant satay from NTUC is very nice, taste as good or maybe even better than other satays I have tried. I bought the chicken one, the meat is very tender and the satay sauce is not spicy at all, just nice for me! If you like satays maybe you can buy a pack to try for yourself. I used the oven to cook the satays and the microwave for the satay sauce. Yummy!
Yesterday I was stuck in my fathers car for more than an hour with no air condition turned on. Did not get out of the car as I'm actually allergic to the sun :( ... if you are in Singapore with no air com on in a car which is not moving, its hell! Because of this and maybe the rather irritating process of looking for floor plans an hour before I got quite a bad headache which even a few sticks of cigs could not cure actually maybe it made it worse lol.
After a while I suddenly thought of the mindwave app I blogged about a few days ago and tried my luck using the headache treatment function and guess what, it actually worked! Coincedently my mother also had a headache that night and immediately I passed her my iPhone with the mindWave app turned on and after around 10 mins she was sleeping soundly with the earphones still in her hears lol. This app really rocks!
I haven't tried the weightloss function yet by the way, been busy these few days ......... watching tv shows!!! So many of my favorite shows are back! Heroes, Chuck, American Idol, 30 Rock, My name is Earl .... they are all back again. Even Survivor is back! Now I just have to wait for the final season of Prison Break to show and my list of must watch tv shows every week is complete he he. Oh ya even Singapore Idol is coming back too, plus Street Fighter 4 coming out soon, Draconica (3d maple story?), Asian dramas etc etc ....... I'm so busyyyyyyy =P
Don't worry I promise I will use the weightloss function soon :)
P.S. I ate dinner again today lol ... I think I can't make Friday a no dinner day, its too tempting to eat when you go out and others are eating. So I guess only Monday to Thursday will be my fruits only dinner days unless I'm at home on Friday.
Woo hooo weighed myself yesterday and guess what I loss 500g!! If I didn't eat last Friday maybe I could have loss even more weight! If I can lose 500g every week I will be a very happy man. Not sure if my old weighing machine is accurate though, I think I'm going to buy a digital one to view the readings more precisely. Last week I mentioned I'm going to use a secret weapon to loss weight, so today let me introduce to you My Secret Weight Loss Tool. Actually I haven't use it yet, I will do so starting tom so hopefully it will boost the weight loss process. The Secret Weight Loss Tool is the mindWave binaurall tones app for iPhone!!
I was surfing the apple app store (which rocks by the way) when I saw this at the top 25 paid app sections and went on to read what it is about. There are many uses for this app but the one most interesting to me was the weight loss capability! Since it was quite cheap (only $1.99) and the reviews of this app were all very positive I quickly used my finger to touch the buy now button, key in my password and yay I bought it and it was automatically installed within a min! Yup its sooo easy to get an app on your iPhone! Sorry new iPhone fanboy here he he.
More details taken from iTunes app store ....
App Name: mind Wave
Price: $1.99
Application Description:
MindWAve was #1 selling app on itunes Canada and Italy for 4 weeks in a row.
Mid Wave is a unique brain wave application that puts you to a certain state of mind. These Binaural tones help to improve the learning process, reliece headaches, help you fall asleep, relax and even get rid of bad habits like smoking, binaural tones are very useful for ADHD (duno wtas that).
I have included 16 binaural beats to entertain your brain waves: - Study Aid - Sleep Induction - Relaxation - Deep Meditation - Mental Refreshed - Coffee - Creativity Boost - Focasing Attention - Weight Loss - Headache Treatment - Deep Theta - Powerful Relaxer - PMS Relieve - APLPHA Relax - Relax Air Tunes - ADD/ADHD Hyperactivity - Accelerated Growth/Healing
Some Screen shots from my iPhone:
Study Aid - This will be very useful for my mid semester examination which is coming soon. If it really works, I will definitely announce it on my blog :). If its good I'm sure you will see lots of parents buying iPhones for their kids or researching on binaural tones.
Coffee - Don't drink too much coffee, its bad for your health. Listen to this virtual caffeine instead to keep you awake for those long nights. Can't use this in those long meetings at work though.
Headache Treatment - If you don't have panadols with you or want to save money, listen to this instead.
Fast Growth/Healing - If only I had this earlier than maybe I could have been taller. Can still use the healing function though.
PMS Relieve - Guys who have girlfriends with moods swings often, get this! Its very important for one of those days. Not sure if you can convince her to listen to it. Don't think I have the chance to use this function in the near future so sorry can't test it out to see if it works.
Weighloss/Smoking - This is the one for weight loss!! Not sure why they put it together with smoking. I thought when you stop smoking you get fatter. As stated here . Maybe if you listen to this and continue smoking you can thinner faster? =P
These are some examples of the functions, I'm sure it will convince people to try it out, its only $1.99 anyway. In fact its actually the top selling app in the app store at the moment in Singapore! I think the guy who made this must be rich by now.
Some may be skeptical, but if certain tunes make you happy, sleepy, move your body, shake your bottom and cry then maybe it might work after all. I will test the weight loss one tomorrow onwards and the study aid the week after next for my mid semester exam. Hope it works! =)
If you are interested here is the link on iTunes - mindWave
I think one function missing most guy (me included) would love for future updates is the "getting people in the mood for some loving function" ... (you secretly change to this function after showing the girl another function) ............. just kidding!
