Finally met Wei Yan today. Talked about his trip to Vietnam, among other stuff. I was interested to know more about the country, especially after reading his account of his trip in his blog, and seeing some pretty interesting photos. I also learnt about an unpleasant bubble tea experience of his. Aparently, he once bought a cup of bubble tea in Yishun that has a cockroach in it! Fortunately for him, he saw it before he started drinking. As he was in a hurry, and was already some distance away from the shop, he did not pursue the matter. I commented that he should have reported the matter to the authorities (Environment Agency? AHA?). Hopefully none of the other customers of that shop bought bubble tea with extra 'unorthodox ingredients'.

Went to Tiong Bahru Plaza for steamboat dinner with Xin Hui, Jia Hui, Yilin. It was supposed to be a super belated birthday celebration for Xin Hui (what about my birthday celebration?). Sebastian was supposed to be there as well, but he had something on at the last minute (as usual). Jane was only there for a short while to pass Xin Hui the present.
We ate at RajahInn where we all ordered individual standard set meals. We thought the serving was a tad too small for the price. Not value-for-money. The broth (I had chicken; they chose Tom Yam) was decent, but certainly not fantastic.
Xin Hui decided to give us a treat and refused to accept any payment for the meal. Yilin resorted to tucking money into gaps in her partially-zipped bag. The plan failed though, when Xin Hui saw the money while taking out her wallet to make a purchase at Guardian's. Haha...

Went home to see Jeffrey crowned the winner of Project Runway (Season 3). I thought he was going to be eliminated based on last week trailer showing that he exceeded his budget. I was rooting for Laura and Uli, and I thought Uli's collection for the finals was the best...

I was told the keyboard is faulty. Tried it out for myself and realised that it is indeed cranky. One moment it was okay; the next moment, it started malfunctioning - pressing the keys did not produce any response. That the malfunctioning of the keyboard was accompanied by intermittent lag only made the matter worse. Strangely though, the problem only occurs when I am in game. Perhaps it's a coincidence? Honyi thinks the keyboard is spoilt since changin USB port doesn't alleviate the problem. I guess he's probably right since my old keyboard functions well when connected to my current computer.
Positive -> Don't need to buy new keyboard.
Negative -> Colour of old keyboard doesn't match that of current monitor and CPU. :-(
