It has been quite a happening second week of March, it all started with earthquake in Sumatra, tremors felt twice in Singapore. I didn’t feel the first one shortly before lunch break, although I was in 35th floor that time, I was sitting on a desk having some discussions. Probably it was because my feet were not on the floor. The second time was after lunch time, that one I felt. The following day, an airplane crashed in Indonesia after what they suspected to be the pilot fault who didn’t reduce the speed enough for landing. It simply has been a disastrous start for Indonesia in 2007, as Asen said, 1 plane accident each month.
Thursday was the start of the IT Show 2007, held at Suntec City. After looking at my calendar, I thought I couldn’t go for the show, so I asked my housemate Eko to help me buy some stuffs. It was essentially all the stuffs that I need to replace since I brought them back to Jakarta during the last Chinese New Year holiday. First, it was a many-in-one card reader. I got a simple $7 card reader. The second one is a thumbdrive. It’s a Sandisk Cruzer Micro U3 Smart - 4GB for a low $75 now. It certainly has a much better speed that Imation FlashGo! that was selling at $71, this Cruzer Micro managed to hit over 7MB/sec write speed and almost 14MB/sec read speed. Another great thing is, with U3 smart technologies, I can install lots of portable apps in my thumbdrive, and I will have those wherever I go. As of now, I have Portable Firefox for browsing, EditPad Lite for basic text editor, Trillian for chatting in MSN and Yahoo, OpenOffice for Office-related stuffs, Foxit Reader to read PDF files, IrfanView for image viewer, Avast Antivirus to ensure my thumbdrive is protected from virus and many more in my thumbdrive, such that I will all the important applications wherever I go. Superb!!! I was choosing between going IT Show 2007, tennis at Cashew Heights, or to watch 300. In the end, I went for tennis. I need to exercise, it has been a while hehe….
My new Sandisk Cruzer Micro 4GB, retractable somemore, made a great keychain 
Its read speed almost hit 14MB/sec
Its write speed also not dissapointing at over 7MB/sec
My colleagues and I went to Tonkichi Japanese restaurant for lunch at Shaw House. I had a very nice Salmon Teriyaki Ju with a very very nice Mochi ice cream. :-D Friday evening was some more choices, either going for drinks with colleagues or going to IT Show. I chose the latter. After IT Show, we dropped by tcc for drinks. I had tcc Ice Minty Mocha. Nice!!!
Lots and lots of balloons that says “Childrens Week” in Orchard MRT on lunch time. They are all free to be taken.
Food at tcc and all the long words of tcc
