Blistery Legs and M1 broadband

As is quite clear to all, have given up all pretence of working for the day. Have spent the entire day trying to figure out the following:
i. how u squeeze 2,500hours in 3 months
ii. how to come up with a suitable wedding invite
Needless to say, have not come very far in both assignments. Instead, have managed to catch up on the lives of my various friends via their blogs (this is an alternative to having beer sessions with each of them) as well as research on a possible bday prezzie for Jules. I must say that buying prezzies for guys are a lot more demanding on the the pocket and require a lot more homework.

Just needed to say this... for the past few weeks... have been getting blisters on my feet! And I am not even wearing closed toe shoes!!! All coz I have been nicely in sneakers for the few weeks in Europe. Sighs, it's amazing how my body leans towards comfort.

My other big achievement for the week, getting M1 broadband! Never heard of it till a colleague brought it up last week. One of the reasons why I hate being at "M" is that the client refuses to give us internet connection. But thanks to my colleague, I was connected in less than 12 hours, and at a relatively cheap cost of $22.40 a month. Speaking of my speedy connection... think we sometimes take our country's efficiency for granted. My host in England took > a month to get herself connected... Hee.

Yeah. I subbed to Singnet as well for the new place. Bleeding SGD 90 a month for 30 months but at least it gets me a new TV.

Kinda cheesed off with starhub now given the unreliable broadband service as well as monopolistic price hikes. Thinking of propping up an antenna that will be able to receive Indonesian SCTV broadcasts....

Haha... ambitious as usual. Well, internet I've discovered is a necessity for us.
