The follow post was taken from my music site. I had some wonderful performance with a group of people who worked hard to make it all possible. These are some photos taken during one of my music performance at a graduation ceremoney for a group graduating students.
I am honoured to be the pianist for this performance, accompanied by a guitarist, a bassist, and a drummist (they are a band themselves), along with 3 wonderful ladies who sang for the graduating students. Here are some pictures:

Recently on my music site http://www.singwithpiano.com, I posted some photos taken of a music performance where I was involved. I was the pianist, accompanied by 3 very beautiful female vocalist, and a team of professional band members, including a drummist, a guitarist and a bassist.
We had a lot of fun, and alot of rehearsals, and it was the process that was memorable, not the hardwork. Do view 20mg cialis the article here:

My company is sending me over to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where I will be attending “Hack In The Box 2008″. Hack in the box is an annual event that conducts training and conference about stuff like hacking and security of Information Technology and the like.
I will be there from 26 to 29 October, so I would be away for awhile, staying in Hotel where the event is run.
This is the Hotel, Crown Plaza Mutiara Hotel, KL: http://www.crowneplazakl.com/cpkl/map-location.html
From the Hotel, it is a 5 minutes walk to the Convention Centre and a 15 minutes walk to KL’s landmark, the twin towers.

This is yet another chance to put in more travel series in my blog, with more photos, videos and interesting places like food (My package includes a breakfast buffet!) That’s also part of the reason why I bought the F40d camera.
Meanwhile I will have to prepare for this trip, with laptops luggages, and some of the travel necessities. Just hope it won’t rain. Anyone has recommendations in KL ?

Recently I put up a service called feedburner, that helps in the subscribing of RSS feeds. Reason being I have been poking around my website stats, and was surprised to see the large number of people who have added my site to their RSS feeds. There were at least 100 over readers a month, who adds my site to their feeds. Wait, so you asked, what are feeds ?
Basically feeds are ways to receive contents without visiting my site -_-’ , and all you get are just content or data or text, pumped into your feed reader (or RSS reader). These RSS reader, or Really Simple Syndication (RSS) could be an online service reader, or just your Browser’s feed reader. So instead of visiting 10 buy xanax sites a day for updates, you grab the site’s feed address, and all these data will be downloaded to your feed reader, so you can view them all at once.
RSS has other features that allows a website to grab “updates” from another website via RSS, which gives you the power of updating content automatically, though some of these techniques used are against the policies.
With that, I hope you ultilise the power of technology and what RSS could do to your internet life!

Hello readers, you might have noticed my top right hand corner with this new RSS link. This is a feed burner service by Google (oh well its gooooogle again.), which means the feeds are handled by them. With this service, I could track the number of people who subscribes to my feeds, while previously I have no idea on the figures.
So with all being said, Subscribe to my feeds now!!! As you can see I have a counter showing number of subscribers, so the more the merrier. (I should have kept it somewhere until i read 100 before displaying). Now all I need you to do is to subscribe so my number doesn’t look disfuncion erectil so bad hehe grins*.
To subscribe, click on the RSS icon at the top right hand corner or click Here to subscribe.
Oh, and I just hope you could come back to look at some other stuff that you might have missed out with the RSS thingy. Thank you !!!

My hand was itchy. I took a picture of all my credit cards… because buycialis I know I gonna say goodbye to them. I’ve gotten them mostly out of curosity, to understand the meaning of credit, and what happen that lead to credit market balloon burst.
These cards do help in one way or another, with their usage written beside them. Besides some of the shopping or dining, I basically have no uses for them. Oh, maybe just some internet expenses. If you know how to use them wisely, you could save some money, but that is if you fully understand the risks, why there are discounts by merchants and why they can afford to give discounts.

Sensitive details removed for security reasons…
I got my first credit card when I just turned 23. To qualify for a credit card in Singapore, you’ll need an annual income of at least SGD30,000, or USD20550. I got hold of my first card from Citibank, with the Clear Platinum Visa and the Citibank MasterCard. Then I got the savings account which is a blue debit card right at the top. That is where I had save almost $9500+ by now.
Then I took other offers with promotions by getting the OUB One card, and subsequently the full suite of DBS / POSB credits cards… which right now, I don’t the need to have them, hence the photo taking.
Anyway, I feel that credit cards discounts are one avenue for merchants to advertise. For example, the “FINE” dining discounts offered by my American Express DBS Black card, includes a list of merchants that I’ve never really seen or heard before. Maybe their price are just too expensive, their location inaccessible, or they simply got not much of business.
In my next post I’ll talk about my strategies in handling credit cards.
Open for feedback !

On Sunday, I bought a new camera for myself, the Fuji F40d. It costs about 204 USD or SGD 299. So what this means is you can expect more photos being uploaded here onto my blog.
The camera might be already taken off the shelve, and might not be available on the market anymore. I bought this from a factory sales instead.
Reason phentermine online why I bought this, as I needed to go overseas, and used it for some other events and photo taking, I decided it was time to buy one. I’ve never really own a camera, except for the web camera I used to video myself playing the piano. You can view them at http://www.singwithpiano.com. I have a handphone which doesn’t have a camera function, due to some reasons.
For most considerations, I bought this camera with expectations like:
- Long battery life
- Availability of spare batteries (on the market)
- Size of memory cards
- Proper night filming
- Video recording, at least 25 fps, able to record more than 10 minutes
- Some zooming
- Easy transfer of data.

What are your expectations of compact cameras ?
A Review of the camera:

Consuming a “huge” Choclate Cake over 3 days, eating bread with thick layers of peanut butter spread and drink an overdose of coffee (being too sleepy) had made me felt uncomfortable.
There were signs of mouth ulcers and sore throat on me. I didn’t feel quite well too. These are caused by eating too much of these “heaty” stuff that cause my body to react. The solution to this? Chinese herbs and fruits.
I am fine, all thanks to what is called “Luo han Guo” in mandarin, or Momordica grosvenori fruit, regularly. A store nearby my house sells them, ready made into a bottled drink. It is “home made”, meaning they get the best of these fruits, process them and make it into a drink on a “on-demand” basis. This includes brewing it with other herbs/fruits too.
Drinking this helps “cool” down your body, treats some buy phentermine common illness well, and best of all it helps directly to the throat. Which is why I am able to maintain a good and clear singing voice through out the year!
I recommend this for it is cheap and good, and for a better, healthier body.
