RIP Wangwang

This morning the terrapin with the curved up shell died. Mum had buried it already. Rest in peace Wangwang.



Last night I was standing next to him watching him struggle for air. There was sign of redness on his under shell and he seemed to be calling for help. Not knowing what was happening, it was left as it is. Than this morning mum saw him trying to catch air too, and sometimes later when she went back to check on him, he's motionless.

So sad...

Curved up shell on mum's terrapin

Today i noticed one of my mum's terrapin got its shell curved upwards! Its as if i could feel the pain he's suffering! Did a quick search and realised this could be due to the lack of direct sunlight and calcium and if not treated might cause death! Mum paniced! Now cleaning them up and moving to a new house i bought from Ikea. Going to place them under direct sunlight. Hope it recovers.

Birthday Wishlist 2009

8 days every week to my birthday! A part of me don't want this day to come every year since I am hitting the big THREE soon! *old old old* But part of me also can't wait as its when the birthday girl/woman (ME) get to create my own wishlist! I think I'd been doing it every year, but most of the time none came true. If it does, its from my own wallet. But still, I should keep the tradition going, so here's my wishlist for my *coughs*twenty*coughs*eighth*coughs birthday...

  • The new iPhone 3GS - I know I said before that I do not want to buy the new iPhone, but I need to find out why is it that everyone who owns it say its the best phone ever wor! As a mac user, I should at least give it a try right? So even if I don't get to own one eventually, I would hope to be able to try it out for awhile. Ya, like that I also shiok! LOL! (Perhaps try liao, I'll end up buying one for myself. Been holding back my Singtel renewal for very long. Will it be given in to the new iPhone 3GS?

  • An extra monitor - this I've fulfilled, thanks to the special offer from Samsung for allowing us to buy their Lapfit LCD monitor after the test drive.

  • SIMS3 game - I know I will probably have no time to play it but I still want it in my MBP so that when I am working, I can run the SIMS in my background or on my second screen with the Samsung Lapfit LCD. Now I am playing Restaurant City in Facebook to cure my itch to buy SIMS3 lah!

  • Polaroid PoGo camera - Always wanted to own a classic Polaroid camera. But they're just too big to carry around. But this new PoGo camera is small and print out cute sized prints! I want one of these with lots of refills please!

  • Canon EOS500D DSLR - Time to replace my Nikon D40!

  • A healthy living - Eat healthy + rest more + some once a month regular exercise + pamper myself a little more + stop stressing myself too much. This is the toughest wish I've to grant for myself. Wish me lots of strength and willpower!

  • A home I can call my own - This only one man can give me. But highly unlikely this will happen anytime soon. Need to build up my career first! That brings me to my final wish...

  • An office I can call my own - Yes, we need a new office VERY soon! Still on the look out for reasonably priced on. Hope I can fulfill this wish by my Birthday. Let there be light!

Part of the loots from Bandung!

Last night at Bandung. All packed and ready to leave in the morning tomorrow. Took photos of all our loots and it covered the entire queen size bed! More to share when I'm back. For now, a peep at some of the loots I've got!





And one of my happiest find...


Bandung is a well kept secret from many outside Indonesia! I was told not to share but than... how can wor? Claudia is well known for "Good things must share"! Yap, will be sharing more after I get back and settled some of the work.

Kinda sad that my mind was 80% in Singapore... work filled my mind even when I'm on holiday. Just one of those things about being an entrepreneur...

Claudia.sg is down!

I am very very very upset! More than 24hours since the server went bonky and now the support team is still trying to solve my issue. Something's wrong with either the database or settings somewhere.

No time to fight the fire on my blog now, can only let it burn in silent till the fire engines come to rescue it. Hope my database is still in tact. Hope my last backup is a good copy!

Why is this happening???

i am Twitpicing!

Due to the new found love of Gravity on my mobile phone, I'm now tweeting and twitpicing everywhere I go! This is going to be sooo unhealthy! Looks like this blog will be converting to other random posts that may be too long to twitpic.

Anyway, sharing the latest twitpics from me - @claudia10

ADV: No eye see my phone bill lah!

Its been more than a year since I traveled out of Singapore. And recently I started traveling for work and leisure purposes and I'm flying to three countries within a month! Crazy lah! And because I terminated my autoroaming value-added service, my phone bill that's coming for this month is going to be high!

I'm not a big mobile phone chatting nor SMS-ing person. I use more on my data plan than my talktime and SMS. On average my mobile bill (without the mobb VAS) is around $30 only. Unlike during my poly days when phone bills can reach up to $100++ a month and I still don't feel the pinch. (Those where the days!) But now, when it hits slightly more than $40/month, I'll scream already lah! The older I grow, the more cheapo I get! LOL!

I cannot imagine my coming bill since I was on the phone very often when I was in Bangkok and also in KL. Than today while browsing molemole's past blog post, I remembered about hoiio! Why didn't I use that???

I would have saved more than 70% of the cost for calling back to Singapore!

Next week I'm heading to Indonesia for a short break with Abang. And I think I'm going to install hoiio in one of my phone just in case I need to activate the international calling feature for urgent and long call back to Singapore.

I did a quick calculation comparing the two service providers and here's what I discovered!



How is that possible?? I mean me reaching 100mins of talktime over 4 days! Of course I can't lah! I use 100mins for easier calculation mah! So there you see the cost saving measure of using hoiio.

Since molemole already has got a very detailed instructions on her blog, I'm going to direct you all over to her! (Linklove wor!) So please go to the following websites for more information about hoiio service. The Smarter Way to Hello!

At KL now - hiding in hotel room

Flight from Singapore to KL in SQ! And now such huge room all to myself! *faints*

I've never expected to get such kind of treatment lah! So is this what people going for press junkets always get? I'm impressed! Or did they mixed me up and gave me a wrong room?



Huge bed all to myself!



And that's where I am right now, seated and typing this post.



View of KLCC from my room. Nice!

Having this room is great! But now I'm tempted to just stay in the room and not go out! Feeling a little giddy right now. Hope to be out by 4.30 for quick shop and back by 7pm to get ready for the launch. I wonder what's in store.

Have got a prepaid sim card topped up, so I've got unlimited internet finally! Will be tweeting and sharing photos from later I hope.

Ok, time to take a break and get ready to wonder around KLCC...
