so many choices for gaming, how?

Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft XBOX360 - new and upcoming console boxes, all released in US, Japan and Europe but not here in Singapore... what a load of crap. which one to choose. it seems like Wii has been getting better reviews and can get anyone Tom, Dick and Harry to be involved...cheapest of the lot... PS3??? most feature-packed but price $$$ highest. blu-ray disc, free download of PSone games, etc....even web surfing. Xbox360?? i give it a miss after my first experience with Xbox....

Wishing them a happy and endearing marri

serving the country

how time flies... i am backed after serving the country for 2 weeks... aka..in reservist, in army, etc. Singaporeans are required to serve our nation after our compulsory 2-years active national service. the first 2 days are really kinda of getting used to the army...my skin started to peel (of course from sunburnt)... the weather was freaking hot...(and to think that we have a week of continuous rain only not too long ago)... *regretted not bringing my sun block* this in-camp was especially exciting or 'siong' (aka tough in Hokkien), a 7-days out field exercise...it is really like the name of the movie "the longest day ever". crazy...don't ask about the details of exercise (Highly Top Secret).... our platoon really enjoyed the missions... except for the rush-to-wait wait-to-rush portion...men were bringing fantastic ration to boost morale....clam chowder, tuna-frank sandwich, pork chop...for a while, i thot we are going for picnic... hahahha after the 8th year in
