As i said previously in the tagboard, i am thinking of switching to Twitter.

Thought of Plurk like ZhengJie's, but kinda hasslesome as Twitter can update my Facebook account too(itself actually meant for Mafia Wars game lol)

You can leave my link as it is, or redirect my link in your blog to the Twitter site @ http://twitter.com/ceecookie

Lol.

Know where's this place?


The hill atop Jurong Bird Park!
It's been so damn long since i've been to THIS specific part of the JBP area.
More than 10 years to be specific, as the last time i've been here was in the late 1990s.

What brought us here? Haha, after visiting my Aunt and Grandma(in diff area) at Jurong West we were to eat at Jack's Place over at Clementi but then on the way my dad suggested the well known Teppanyaki restaurant at the JBP Hill.
This was why were came over 10 yrs back, to eat @ that restaurant which i still remember as a kid due to the nice dining style. However, since it was (duh) over 10 years ago we did not know if the restaurant was still operating there so we made a U-turn and then proceeded to JBP to check it out.

Well, it was indeed still operating when we arrived there...as indicated by the food advertorial banners pasted at the foot of the hill. Thn we continued up and parked.


Walked around the hilltop and admired the scenery before going down the sorta roundabout building to the restaurant below. Pictured above, is the entrance to Jurong Island.

Finally, seated at Hill Top Teppanyaki Restaurant.. which yes, is the name of the restaurant.
The side dishes which u see here is complimentary, and above was the Garlic Rice which was not our order though we did ordered it later on.
I say the food is nice, do make a trip there if u are a teppan lover =D
The beef we ordered was tender, and the garlic rice was nice and the strong garlic taste was not there.

Hi guys, writing another post for the month...

Today was a light day as usual, Maths teacher finished off the Set Theory on Maths.
After Maths, there was a make up class for another module because just one miserable lesson will be missed during CNY.
Cannot even take one lesson off meh? :/
Somemore one of my close & old fren came to SP for his JAE advice, and perfectly(note the sarcasm) timed right in the middle of the make up lesson so i missed the chance to meet him.

Anyway, haha - i wonder if any of you actually installed Win7 which i blogged off... using a beta OS, though tempting because of the hype can be hasslesome at times because as the term implies..it aint gonna work 100% right.
Indeed, my 7 for some reason had a recent problem with the Wireless NIC card driver - every time i resume from sleep(standby) it wouldnt reconnect to any wireless network.
Then i wanted to remove the antivirus which i installed prior to this, but unfortunately i cleared my old System Restore files so i couldnt undo the installation(the stupid AV program didnt have any uninstaller at all) so yup, as u can guess i did the ultimate step of re-installing the entire OS.

Ah, dont let me bore u with tech talk(adding to the stale "air" here).

Those who know world affairs , two things should come up for these few moments.
The Gaza War and the U.S Presidental Inauguration.
Yup, im referring to the latter.

Since he's somewhat an exceptional man of potential quality(which is why he won the elections), i daresay it's quite worth it to watch his inauguration dont u think so?
Obviously it would be aired in international news(BBC World News etc) but lucky for those who dont have cable, i spotted Channel Newsasia's time slot for it at 11am on the following day, 21st.

Well, i dont know if u want to watch it live, nor would i know if CNA would air it live, but anyway - the inauguration starts at 9am CST and the oath of office will take place later at 11am.
CST is equalavent to GMT/UTC -6, so do the maths and the oath will be at 1am here..rather unfavorable for us in Far East.

(edit: ps ps miscalculated ><)
Some notes of interest:

Windows 7 Beta has still not been officially re-launched yet as of now.

But dont worry, there's two working direct links to Microsoft right now for the 32 bits and 64 bits edition of Windows 7 Beta respectively. And it seems that it has been unannounced by MS so far...
Take it now, for the clock's ticking.

32 Bit / X86 Edition:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/3/3/633118BD-6C3D-45A4-B985-F0FDFFE1B021/EN/7000.0.081212-1400_client_en-us_Ultimate-GB1CULFRE_EN_DVD.ISO

64 bit / X64 Edition:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/3/3/633118BD-6C3D-45A4-B985-F0FDFFE1B021/EN/7000.0.081212-1400_client_en-us_Ultimate-GB1CULXFRE_EN_DVD.ISO

For those who are unsure of taking which version - 32 bit is the older version that was meant for single core processor, but if u want maximium compatibility with most program this is traditionally the best way to go.
64 bits was meant for dual core processors where improvement in several areas(notably the removal of 4GB limit of RAM in 32 bits OS) was made but however there's less support/compatibility for the same programs out there, so if u do not want to face this AND do not need >4GB ram then go 32bits.

And MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL - the serial keys for activation.

x86 edition:

4HJRK-X6Q28-HWRFY-WDYHJ-K8HDH
6JKV2-QPB8H-RQ893-FW7TM-PBJ73
GG4MQ-MGK72-HVXFW-KHCRF-KW6KY
QXV7B-K78W2-QGPR6-9FWH9-KGMM7
TQ32R-WFBDM-GFHD2-QGVMH-3P9GC
CRJ8X-Q3D3G-V6T98-HMX62-2W3KX
XGD8W-B6WBM-8FDJ2-R43TQ-XP3KM


x64 edition:

D9RHV-JG8XC-C77H2-3YF6D-RYRJ9
482XP-6J9WR-4JXT3-VBPP6-FQF4M
7XRCQ-RPY28-YY9P8-R6HD8-84GH3
JYDV8-H8VXG-74RPT-6BJPB-X42V4
RFFTV-J6K7W-MHBQJ-XYMMJ-Q8DCH


IMPORTANT NOTE: To protect the keys from being stalked out by serial thives bots i have changed the numbers in the serial to their spelling alternative. Obviously, change them back to numbers when u do the activation.
So please, before u start yelling at me for providing wrong codes - read this.

I have also more codes, it seems that MS is reusing a set number of codes but nevertheless in case Microsoft blacked/void the abovementioned two codes i have more in store but only available from request. If im right, the codes can be used more than once so dont ask me unless it has really been blacked. ( Removed )

Adieu.

Edit as of 1.34PM Sunday:

Even better news people! Due to the tremendous demand for this, Microsoft has removed the 2.5million limit and instead, this Beta will be made available until 24th January.
Hooray!
PS: I have also added in more keys. No point protecting them since it's all the same set of (reused) keys.
