did i mention about that 179 bus that broke the moment it left the interchange? i waited for over 15 mins for the 2nd bus to picked us up. well, i could have just walked back to the interchange, had i knew that the next bus was going to speed past us, leaving us stranded by the road side. LAZY LAZY LAZY. thanks to sbs for their superb bus service, i missed my prata supper at canteen 2. spoilt my get-fat plan. lol.

anyway, i met some of hall mates along the way.. those bunch of hardcore hall life people. haha. they were heading for timbre. my first thought of it was a club, because they do resemble those typical clubbers.. haha. that was the first time i heard of it. later then i found out its a pub, a place to unwind, chill out purpose. mountain turtle.. lol. staying in hall ma chiam like army camp. its located next the fort canning link, that "newly" built expressway, a stone throw from SMU. what is attractive about this pub is the live band. superb vocalists and guitarists, not forgetting the drummer. singing the pop songs made the atmosphere rather high, some sang along, others tapped the beats. its really enjoyable. haha. think we should go there more often.. once a month? haha.

will post the photo once i get them. cheap thrill haha. almost got caught by police for.. jay-walking? haha.. crazy fools.

ps. stupid taxi fare hike. only make everyone miserable. we shall see how are they going to survive.. we shall prevail. wahahaha.

if it wasn't the fact that i gain the t-shirt of the ISG, i wouldn't have entered into the 6 a-side floorball competition together with the fellow MAE people. haha. fortunately, we weren't in the group of death which consist of the NIE, EEE, NBS. (all of them pretty strong in their own aspects). nonetheless, we did faced a tough fight from the HSS, holding us to a draw in the game. a scrappy win over the MSE, had resulted in us meeting NIE earlier in the quarters..


facing NIE in the quarters was like a dead end.. suicidal game, because they are generally people more adapted at playing sports. together with 2 others national floorball players, jamie and haifiz. its like impossible to win against them. apparently being the underdogs, everyone was on our side. morale booster sia. luck was on our side, we managed to fend off their attacks, blocking shots and hassling the players with the ball. holding them to a draw was really a miracle. indeed. and winning them over the penalty.. erm.. lets just say it pure luck.


we were celebrating as if we won the whole tournament.. really, we were shocked, surprised, exhilarated. MAE, MAE, MAE.. wooohooo.. after that game, our morale super high, beginning to slack off a little. xp still went to have fish soup lunch. wah sia la. running with a fish tank.. lol. anyway, as long he can still run around, it doesn't really matter. haha. eventually, we managed to emerge victorious, claiming the title.


the winning tips. donuts, chocolate and fish soup. hahaha.


we expecting the gold medals soon.. whahaha.. my very own first medal received from the NTU.

after missing the last promotion by starhub, the offer had been resurfaced again. this time, its a little smaller than the previous promotion.. 20 inch lcd tv, packed with hd ready features. what's more, i could connect one of these to my com.. wahaha. no more staring at a 15 inch monitor. say good bye to eye strains.. its high time i let them enjoy the benefits of bigger screen.

for every freebies, there comes a string attached. for starhub, its stated rather clearly, minimum 2 years subscription of $44.94/month and new applicants only.. going by the rules, i don't fit the bill for the second criteria. so what's up with this new applicants rule, when my contract had already expired half a year ago and i am not eligible for this lcd tv freebie should i recontract? clearly, its for their own benefit. less freebie given away, less cost, more profit to be made out of it. of course, they run a higher risk of losing the customers. they dont really value loyal customers. this is their system.

for every system, there is a loophole. (trust me on that. just need to look hard enough.)

the following is the solution to this contract problem. well, i am not the first one to think of this, which can been seen in the long queue in the starhub services centre. maciam everyone there is signing for the new tv..haha.

according to the rules, only customer who terminate before 16th november are eligible for this freebie. the only way around it is to use another name and address to sign up, transferring the contract under your name for a $20 fee. time to pay your friendly relatives a visit..haha. of course there is another solution that is you can head down to the shop and KP the managers over there till the cows come home. (wonder whether this would work?).

what would be the outcome? is this claim valid? what matters most is would i be able to get hold of that lcd hd tv.. stay tuned for the next episode of "the loophole exposed". whahaha.

ps. there also other promotions like the free lappy and desktop, and there is a ready market for it, which means a quick cash of $600 to be made out of it. well, thats if you intend to sell it off right from the beginning.
