Apple Advocates

Well, means nothing actually. But fun is when you want it to happen. Trying out new stuff, gadgets. I’ve created a group for sharing of tips, tricks and treasure.

Be happy guys!

MacBook Pro

Well, temptation.. temptation. That temptation cost me to part with few thousand bucks. Sleek design, irresistable adverts etc. What more can i say?

Students, you are in the luck. Get your education discount to enjoy an iPod Touch rebate. Of course you’ll select the 8gb model as that will mean you pay $23. Those who wish to make campus purchase are the smarter ones as they will enjoy software bundles and also reduction in price after adding in the lifeline of your investment – AppleCare.

It’s been a year

With all the Twittering and the Facebooking, has blogs taken the plunge? ok,ok I hear you. It has not. 

Gosh, impressed that i still remember the username and password to this one

Telco Blues

This is a month full of surprises. I’m currently on the research spirit in finding out the best bargains where communication is concerned. Singtel or Starhub? iPhone or ??

In the progress of my research, I realised that the stiff competition between the 2 major telcos had resulted in long list of applications to Starhub by disgruntled users of the Singtel home fixed line. The temptation : FREE home telephone line which never expires. Why? Because it is making use of the Starhub’s broadband network and you can keep that particular number for life. NO STRINGS ATTACHED.

The queue has since become longer with almost about everyone signing up for their share of the pie. But Singtel, who is very much disappointed by the move, have since delayed all request by its earning competitor in terms of releasing their existing number to be port over to the Starhub’s network. This has got many customers in line for a queue that will only end in few months time. Congrats to Starhub and boo to Singtel for playing the devil’s game!

China Melamine

Scared of milk? Well, if you live in Singapore, the AVA is scrambling to up its reputation for not being able to detect the contamination of imported products. It has recently released additional food products which have been tested to be positive with that extra ingredient we don’t really want. Nevertheless, the melamine episode have definitely  (hopefully) dampen the spirit of most importers of China’s food products.

Simply put it, if the world does not make noise on the substandard quality China has repeatedly paraded itself to be, we will soon have to worry about wearing clothes, watching tv, sitting in the bus.. etc. Why you ask? Google the worries. China is an expert in modifying elements of any product to make it look, feel and even taste similar to an original complement. These greed-made substitutes have indeed claimed lives and dollars. So what are we waiting for? Bo–ott China products!!!!! Let the dragon tone down its heat and let the world be a safe place where we can eat and drink without first reciting the now “ask-or-die” prayer : “Is this made in China?”
