My wife purchased this as part of our 9-year anniversary.

It is a Seagate external hard-drive with a capacity of 1tb. That’s 1000GB for the uninitiated. The cost of this drive is almost $170.

10 years ago, with the same amount, I could only get this.

Its an IOMEGA Zip Drive that can only supply a capacity of only 250 MB.

1 TB = 1000 GB

1 GB = 1000 MB

So, 1 TB = 1000 000 MB ( One million MB)

An argument broke out yesterday evening, over a dispute between two car owners. The Chinese owner, apparently claimed that the Malay driver scratched his car while she is reversing her own car into the parking lot. However, the female driver claim that she did not believe the damage was that much as she thought that it was just nothing much other than a bump.

Suppose that due to some tragedy that had struck her, it was declared that she couldn’t bore you a child. No modern technologies could even ruled out that fact.

What would you do, as the husband? What would you do, as the son whose parents are anxious to carry their grandchild on their arms? What would you do, as the wife? Would you sacrifice your love for your husband? Would you adopt a
child without telling your in-laws about the real situation? Or would you get a surrogate mother? Give me your comments on this matter.

The above were my thoughts after watching the Hindi movie, “Chori-chori Chupke-chupke”.

You asked me whom would I have made my wife had our path not crossed.You asked me what would have happened should we have not met before.

I understood what you are asking of me. And I know why you are asking me. Indeed, if you need me to repeat to you, I would have said the same thing here. ..Continue reading..

Ever wondered why there is no such thing as Xbox 2 and Microsoft went straight to Xbox 360 from Xbox ? Are they afraid that Xbox 2 is somewhat synonymously associated with backward technology of PS 2 ?

We have safely returned back to Singapore after the two almost back-to-back trips to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and the island of Belakang Padang in Batam, Indonesia.

Stay tuned for more pictures galore.

For now, the bed is beckoning.

I have to admit. I never was a fan of Woody Allen. Among the throngs of films that he have acted, directed or produced, I have seen only one. And that was also because Scarlett Johansson was in the film.

However, there was 1 quote from him that I remembered till this day. That quote stirred up my thoughts from the moment I first heard about it several years back and brought upon interesting discussions among my circle of friends, including my then girlfriend turn fiancee turn wife.

This is the quote from Woody Allen.
