Ever since Sun Yin Loong coffeeshop increased their prices by 20sen earlier this year, i’ve stopped going there even though they’ve got the best brew in town.

Mmmm, can you smell the cholestrol…? 🙂 Time passes slower for me at the office, especially in the sleepy afternoons.

There were a few occasions I couldn’t tahan so…

My First Ericsson Phone Back in 1996
Was rummaging in the cupboard for something the other day when i came across this. It was my very first phone back in 1996! That was 12 years and 6 handphones ago, man… Back then almost everyone had an Ericsson phone. They had different variations of the basic model – some for PCN networks, some for GSM, some had flip-downs, etc. They pretty much had the market sewed up back then, and Nokia was a distant second.
