Tuesday in Singapore

Woke up oddly refreshed, given that I’d rolled over Mount Everest all night. I decided that yesterday was the day to shop for tech stuff.

I went to Funan digitaLife centre downtown at City Hall. Went around, looked at stuff, and specifically looked for a wireless Skype-enabled phone. This phone will connect to Skype directly through your wireless router, thus obviating having to connect up your pesky computer and put a very primitive USB phone into it. I found one, priced Sg$219 (about GBP 85) and bought it. Then, idly looking at small laptops, I discovered the Asus Eee 1000H, which with 2GB RAM and 160GB HDD, seemed pretty inexpensive at the equivalent of GBP 384. So, I bought it. The keyboard is almost normal size, the only exception being the right shift key, which is small. I thin it’ll be good for the Cambodia trip, as it takes a camera card so I can upload pictures directly. The hotel has WiFi, I am told.

After buying that, I had lunch (late) at Subway, returned to Bishan to unload my prizes, then went to Orchard to have dinner with HWMBO, Tiow Hua, and Devin, whom we had dinner with in Kiasu, in London. Very nice dinner at Wisma food court, which is a step up from the usual hawker senter here. I had Indian food, and the plate was piled so high that I couldn’t finish it (good thing, too).

Home, and continued reading FDR until 12:15 am…my bad.

Of to lunch now, and to the Art Museum with HWMBO, then dinner with my friends George and Chen this evening.
