New Toys - PC

Lenovo Yoga 13"
Replacement for my Asus Zenbook














Asus GTX780
Plays BF4 like a boss! OMG! I'm so glad I waited a year before upgrading for this.















Logitech G19s Gaming Keyboard














Loves: Youtube in the little screen while waiting for stuff. Changing colour to match profiles when i play different games. REALLY like the feel of the keys. Weight is nice and it really sticks to my desk. This keyboard has a very premium feel.

Cons: Spacebar was squeaky, had to pop it up and put it back to solve it. No mechanical keys.

Remarks: I liked this more than i thought i would, took me some time to get it due to the steep price (thanks to Laurence for helping me get it 30% off). If i'd knew i'd like it so much, i would have got it much earlier regardless of discount.

Corsair Vengeance K90




Loves: Simple basic mechanical keyboard. Love the brushed aluminium.
Cons: Just a mechanical keyboard, doesn't add much to my productivity. No custom colours.

Roccat Apuri



Loves: Keeps cables organized, simple hub that is powered and convenient to get to. Makes my desk look more techie

Cons: Bungie doesn't really do much, can't change colour to other than blue.

Logtiech G600 Gaming Mouse

Pros: Lighting can change to match profiles, combined with my G19s, i have a great combination. Increases productivity. I have about 24 more buttons on a mouse. Love the white, doesn't get dirty as one might think.

Cons: Multi keys are really useful thought it may get some time getting used to, lots of times while playing FPS i accidentally click the keys. 2nd Right Mouse Button or G-Shift button not used at all and i kept clicking it accidentally at the start.

Logitech G700 Gaming Mouse



Pros: very good mouse with just the right number of buttons.

Cons: My left click stopped working well after awhile. Funny when you plug in and/or plug out, something funky happens with the drivers. No coloured lights.

Saitek Cyborg RAT 7 Gaming Mouse


Pros: Very very nice build. Super customizable. Love the metal construction. Wow factor when people first see it.

Cons: Not enough buttons for me, kept accidentally right clicking stuff as it is very very sensitive. Software can't beat logitech though its sufficient

Monopoly Deal or No Deal: Advanced Rules

I really like this game and thought I'd share some of the advanced rules. It is NOT stated anywhere in the manual and has to be researched online through various sources (which I share below). Wildcard properties can't be used to settle debts, so you can keep them even if you are bankrupt! The only way to take them are through FD, SD and DB. Using double the rent takes a turn although it is played together with the rent card. You can also use x2 double the rent cards to quadruple your rent. This takes up all 3 of your turns. Note that just ONE 'Just Say No' card is required to block this completely. Houses and hotels are seized along with property if DB is used. You need a just one house to build a hotel and the value does not stack with houses, only max +4m. Houses/Hotels go to the bank before being used to pay another player. Thus the other player can only use it as bank.* Houses/Hotels can be transferred to other sets within your own hand, but can never 'float...

Does a crab die when bitten by a mosquito on its eyes?

I've tried searching on the internet for this but was unable to find anything. Posted this on Yahoo Answers already. Anyone know pls comment, thanks!

Plumbing Things Upgrade: Toto? Hansgrohe or Grohe?

Basically, it is completing what i started when i first moved it but as i ran out of money, i couldn't, For toilets, i can tell you that after years of dealing with poor toilets, the absolute best one in my books is TOTO. Go for elongated, double piece and whirlpool flushing system. It is absolutely awesome. As for fixtures, i have always used Grohe stuff except for the kitchen and other bathroom. Now that my stuff pretty much broken down, i upgraded the kitchen and bathroom fixtures to Hansgrohe and also the sink to TOTO. A question that keeps coming up even 7 years ago when i started this was, Hansgrohe or Grohe? Generally they are both good but if you MUST choose one, here is the answer i found most compelling: GROHE Some time ago, one of the younger members of the family that then owned Hansgrohe decided to strike out on his own and started Grohe. He positioned it as a company with a more youthful take on the products. Grohe didn't last long and the son cashed out qu...

Cheap DIY Headphones Holder

Banana holder from Daiso $2 SGD Not all Daisos have this, found mine in ION Orchard Daiso. Airtight sealing tape (doors and drawers) $2 SGD from Daiso Get the waterproof version as it is thicker (0.8cm) and would provide more protection for your headphones. Total cost: $4 Simply cut off a small bit of it. Then stick it along the banana holder rod as centered as you can. The adhesive is quite good so it doesn't shift position. Make sure you stick it right down onto the rod or it won't stick completely. And there you go! You can cut much smaller pieces depending on your headphone size.

Prawn Fishing

WHAT Prawn fishing, prawn sizes range from really small to huge ones! People have even reported catching crayfish. There is even pomfret catching, crab catching and of course fish catching. WHERE Pasir Ris Park Fishing Pond (near Pasir Ris MRT) Open 24hrs (Do it at night (after 10pm). Prawns are noctournal so there.) Cost: $13/hr, 3hrs get 1hr free, can share 4 hrs with 2 rods EQUIPMENT They give you a choice for long or short rods, for me i prefer long rods coz it can access far places in the pool. For beginners take short rods coz they are easier to control. Chances are if you use a long rod you'll panic when you get ur first catch and fling the prawn (claws all snapping) to unwary bystanders (Sarah kena this a few times already, i mean kena flung AT) Bring a nice sharp knife to cut the cockles in thin slices, quality of knife is IMPORTANT coz baiting is VERY crucial so you need to cut the bait exactly the way you want it. Bring a cloth to wipe your hands too and some water to wa...

Diary of an Adult Hand Foot Mouth Disease (HFMD) Victim

Day 0 Wife calls me to say her foot has rashes and she WAS having a fever just yesterday and is still having a really bad throat. She suspects she caught HFMD because both our  kids (2 yrs and 4 yrs) are down with HFMD. She goes to the doctor, doc says its not and sends her home. Later in the evening, spots start to appear on her hand, we go back to the doc and yes, it is confirmed, she has it. Apparently the sores in her throat were very far down so it was hard for the doc to see. Anyway it has been confirmed. I joke that she is a statistic coz adults don't get this. Day 1 Got a bad cold today, whatever man, its just a cold. Whole family has HFMD but daddy is ok! Still continue my day as usual but as a precaution in case im a silent carrier, i choose not to go to work. Come back home and feel ok, however towards the night i develop a fever. Meanwhile, wife spots on her hands start to grow. Day 2 Really high fever today, ranging from 38.1c to 38.9c. Developed a really bad...

Awesome Site!

As a professional who has worked in the web development industry for around 15 years, i have come across several businesses and websites. I would consider this one of the best online businesses I have seen. I seldom come across a site i like so much, so i decided to write this. The site is Massdrop PRODUCT SELECTION The community will discuss among itself on different items based on broad categories such as Audiophile, Men's Style, Tech, Writing etc. Each user is able to set up topics and recommend products for the community to vote. The highest voted product (with a min. number of votes required), gets selected and the Massdrop guys then get in touch with the supplier. BUYING Upon successful communication with the supplier, the product would then be added and people can start buying. Based on the number of people buying, the price would drop accordingly (just as with a real mass drop scenario). There is a cool feature which allows you to actually comm...
