<p>Did you know&#8230;<br />
<a href="http://www.worldwaterday.org/page/135">It&#8217;s one of the international days declared by the UN and it started since 1992</a>?</p>
<p>And the theme for this decade, is <strong>Water for Life</strong>.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a very important part of our daily life, eg. drinking, bathing, cooking, washing the cars / pets, help run our air-condition systems, making of soft drinks and coffee and so much more. Without it, we would probably turn into icky, smelly humans or mummified and be deprived of our daily necessity <img src='http://xinyun.sg/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Be thankful for it, especially when we are fortunate to have clean drinking water and sufficient water for daily use. And thanks to the treatment plants and water contracts from our govt.</p>
<p>Aside from the above&#8230;<br />
It&#8217;ll do help if we change our usage habits a little, like not leave the water running while washing the dishes, re-use water from washing veges to water plants, re-use part of laundry water for cleaning and all. It might not be much, but it&#8217;ll help if everyone does a little and not forgetting it&#8217;ll help lower your bills <img src='http://xinyun.sg/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://tinypic.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://xinyun.sg/wp-content/imagescaler/29fccc7e2ffc6a9c606014ab7e122afd.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" width="215" height="320" imagescaler="http://xinyun.sg/wp-content/imagescaler/29fccc7e2ffc6a9c606014ab7e122afd.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>A simple storyline over mystical creatures, which are often misunderstood and how one learnt and train them.<br />
Simple but makes you wanna find out how it ends.</p>
<p>Amused by how Toothless and the rest of the dragons, acting like a dog / cat and how Hiccup used what he learnt from Toothless to make it work for him, during training.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s about all i&#8217;m gonna talk about, for the show.</p>
<p>Aside from that&#8230;</p>
<p>Honestly, I was a little disappointed with its 3D effects. Let&#8217;s just say, there wasn&#8217;t sufficient 3D that made me wanna reach out and touch it, basically wasn&#8217;t &#8216;WOW-ed&#8217; and there was a section during the show, flicked for a good 10 secs (probably technical faults by theater) And if i must compare, it&#8217;s just wasn&#8217;t as engaging as the Science Center&#8217;s 3D documentaries or animations.</p>
<p>Or perhaps i&#8217;m just too old for this, hmm&#8230;</p>
<p>Plus having 3D glasses on top of normal spectacles was just too troublesome, for 4-eyed spec wearing audience, like me <img src='http://xinyun.sg/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>But aside from my own personal thoughts, I would say it&#8217;s a decent movie to watch and definitely better, if it was just 2D.</p>
<p>Rate: 4/5<br />
Comment: Decent, watchable and bring the kids along kinda show.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To think a somewhat reputable router going at a discounted price would do great, what a mistake that had been.</p>
<p>Well, the router i got from IT show, Aztech Wireless-N router had been problematic or the cause of my wireless-less problem (eg. unable to get ip or connect but connection is okay when cable is directly connected from modem to desktop) for the past few days, aside from the faulty / inconsistent Motorola modem (inconsistent linkage from modem to desktop).</p>
<p>The Starhub tech guy came, switched a new Motorola SB6120 modem and now it&#8217;s working fine / smooth. As for the Aztech modem, he tried getting it connected, went through the admin page but still can&#8217;t get it working aka no ip and linkage (but my laptops are able to detect it). In short, very problematic.</p>
<p>Thankfully one problem down, many thanks to the tech guy.</p>
<p>At least one thing is for sure, I would stick to Linksys or better brands from now on, esp. seeing my last Linksys modem cum router not giving me any major issues and had been &#8216;alive&#8217; for 3 years until this week.</p>
<p>Sigh, oh well.</p>
<p>Gonna go pick up a new one later.<br />
Hopefully less or no problems.</p>
<p>Update:<br />
Dad picked Dlink 655 router (wasn&#8217;t what i had in mind, wanted the WRT320N instead) and works immediately after 5mins of setting up, one of the easiest to setup (aside from my old linksys) , making it more obvious, there&#8217;s something wrong with that Aztech router.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s see if it&#8217;ll work for my bro&#8217;s setup&#8230; hmm&#8230;</p>
