randoms. randoms and randoms.
When were the days when petrol was $1.4?
Everyone should appeal EVERY ticket they get, even if they were in the wrong, as there is always a chance you’d get off, or at the very least if everyone appealed it would clog up the system and teach the councils they can’t make money out of fleecing motorists, because thats what 80% of all parking fines are. Don’t belive the “oh its for congestion or residents, etc” that might be true for some yellow lines, but the majority are there for one thing, making money. The same with speed cameras, agian, appeal, ask for photos, etc.
Mess them about (within the law) and cost them money, why make it easy for them!

it might just result in hdb hiring more people to reply to emails. the current replying timing takes around 2-3 weeks. 
What for build world class expressways, just for show or just to collect ERP? Where got citizen’s interest in the government’s heart? Milking as much as possible from citizens. Give one cent here and take back one dollar. Now, we ask where got heart at all? Only big Money talks.
Forget about Ponggol 21+. Forget it all. Rent a room near your place of work. Otherwise, all our pay will go to LTA! Where got money left to keep for retirement? Do you not call this sky-rocketting of overhead charges for living in Singapore! Government must form a Committee to help people distressed by this, just like the Committee Against Gambling?

“We noticed that the carparks at the residential areas are unusually congested since the implementation of more ERPs,” explained Mr Cheng. “As such, to counter the problem of congestion in the carparks, LTA has decided to raise parking charges across island wide. Our Tranport authority firmly believes that raising charges can solve all problems. Transport Ministry boleh!”
ERPs in Singapore 2009,
ERP2015 inconjunction with iN2015.
it doesnt make sense in adding more erp ganties to counter congestion. cte is still sluggish akin to days without erp ganties.
does raising cost help in alleviating the traffic? no fucking thanks.
some more talks about taxi charges, your views?

Windows 7 Tryouts, Windows Firewall with Advanced Security
Posted by: byon on: July 12, 2009
Windows 7 is really stunning. I’ve had quite a good bit of impression here with this operating system. These are solely based on my personal experience with se7en. Btw i’ve been a user of DOS till Windows 7/Server 2008, inclusive of debian/slackware as my favourite list in the opensource technologies and macosx which i’ve used for a year during my course of work at a gaming studio.
default
nice looking taskbar, very well organised. just requires alittle bit of getting used to.
Windows Firewall with Advanced Security
80 default inbound rules and couple of mines.
default aero theme
landscape theme
changing themes !
Here are what took me by surprise,
- Good multitasking capability (slower background tasks – thus faster foreground tasks)
- Good boot-up timing of ~15 seconds
- Good installation speed of <15 minutes
- Faster file copying speed, comparable with TeraCopy on Windows XP
- Good Snipping Tool, alike with Hypersnap I used in Windows XP
- Windows Firewall with Advanced Security (this was bundled with Windows Server 2008 initially)
– additional default 80 inbound rules iirc
– domains isolation with windows
– SSL app layer + IPsec network layer + 802.1x datalink = formidable
– if anybody's interested in WFAS, here's where they can go to, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd772715(WS.10).aspx
with windows7, the aesthetics and performance gain makes your computer much more appealing to use again, other than work. work is never work again! :)
good night people, and you. and most of all you whom i honour dearly.
pyrotechnics from germany, this is interesting. ;D

YouTube account is back!
Posted by: byon on: July 7, 2009
Japan has strict country laws towards combating piracy and sharing of files over the internet medium. Couple of weeks ago, my youtube account was suspended together with my email after i uploaded a music station video with lady gaga’s appearance. It’s good now my account is back.

Taking a step back to see the light

Flowers flowers everywhere, cherish the flower next to you. because you know you need to.
You’ll realise my mind is not focused right now. I’m totally lost, i’m angered, i’m in love, i’m stressed out and i’m broken..
If there is a price to everything, how much do you think you are worth? How much does your relationship worth to you? How much will you pay to have this relationship? But how do you weight relationship? via money? the amount of assets you have? The weight of the ‘matter’? since love is immeasurable, this is not something you can justify.
I have till today, given everything i could in my means to the one i have loved. If this love was to be measured, it would be millions and billions of dollars in pounds inclusive of the time spent, which i can’t buy back.
Until now do i realise, how little i am only to this person i have dearly cherished throughout this neither long or short period together. Does she know who i really am? Or exactly what am i to her?
During this interim, whether it’s time, money or heart, nobody has ever taken so much away before.
I always encourage open communication, but i think i have failed in delivering my message
Am i not being understanding here..
Have i said something i shouldn’t have said?
Am i taken for granted? For the pettiness you shown?
I’ve overslept, i’ve made you wait.
To you, I’m not forgivable now.
I do feel also, i’m a human with a heart.
Let time tell me what’s next,
And what will arise from this period of thinking.
But i’ll be strong. Make me stronger O Lord.
Do you remember the first day we met? The beginning of a beautiful friendship.
At that time, my faith towards love was really low.
You shown me the goodness in people.
I am grateful for your influence in my life.
I will not forget that very night when your love poured over into my life. The feeling never left me, and it has grown ever since.
Life was colourful from there. It seemed brighter, songs that didn’t sound romantic suddenly did.
Now… I don’t know, but i don’t want to experience a sad ending.
Take this pain away, you.
muffin! where are you?

* you may not be her first.
*she loved before she may love again
*but if she loves you now
*what else matters?
*shes not perfect
*you arent either and the two of you mnay never be perfect together
*but if she can make you laugh and cause you to think twice
*and admit to being human and making mistakes,
*hold onto her and give her the most you can.
*she may not be thinking about you every second of the day
*but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break – her heart
*so dont hurt her, dont change her, dont analyze and dont expect more than she can give
*Smile when she makes you happy,
*let her know when she makes you mad and miss her when she’s not there.
Garmin XT 5.00.40 + MalSing + Nokia 5800
Posted by: byon on: June 2, 2009
Couple of random thoughts,
- Finally got a chance to try Garmin XT 5.00.40 on Mrs Muffin’s Nokia 5800. We tested the accuracy of the GPS, till now it looks pretty cool.
- Passed my FTT. Mr Ng feels that i can start booking my TP date already – timing is around end july to august. but i feel that i’m not confident yet.
- I ask the Lord what his purpose is for me
- sometimes you wish you can rewind time, back to where it all began
- this butterfly inside is stirring up again
- behind closed doors even a strong man look weak, this little soul seeks refuge
goodnight.
QUACK! QUACK! QUACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
