Finally I have got the site up again, been having problems displaying the site. I wonder why anyways it’s up again and it should be good for a while, better start to work on backing up and enhancing the site. Anyway do check out www.ntotd.com it’s where you can display your latest “TOY”. Anything goes and as long as you love it just show it off.

Ok, got another new toy today from Ikea, was playing around with it at the main showroom area where I sat and was pleasantly impressed with the built quality of the chair but priced at SGD$169 it took quite some consideration so I walked on and just did my shopping for stuff at Ikea in Tampines.

I guess everyone knows about this little treasure cove in Ikea called AS-IS. At this little treasure cove you can find showroom pieces, slightly damaged products and other nick nacks. So I found the EXACT Chair in the showroom in very good condition, I mean the fabric is all wrapped up and stuff sitting there and it was at SGD$119, savings of SGD$50. So after some contemplation I decided to purchase it and it’s now siting in my room comforting my back.

I guess it is worth spending some money to ensure that my spine will last me till my old age, so I leave you with a more professional shot of the chair which I got from their website.

Borrowed the acronym from my good friend over at itnetwerk.com, he started this NTOTD thing which actually stands for New Toy Of The Day. Not that I get new toys every day but well it’s just a way to share joy.

Today I got the E65 from local telephone operator Singtel mobile, my first line with the Red guys. The whole thing started as I was shopping to get my E65 on SingtelShop.com as it was going at a really good price, after all the discounts and such I only need to pay SGD$276 for the phone cause it is National Day. So with the celebration they lowered the price by SGD$42 and the in store promo made it an addition SGD$30 less which gave me a saving of $72.

So what happened was that Singtel also offered a new service called Broadband on Mobile which was also offering SGD$100 off and 3G handset and so I did the purchase on line and called the help desk to find out how I could enjoy the offer. Note that at that time of ordering my phone would only arrive on 16th August 2007 which was quite a wait. Help desk got back to me saying that in order to enjoy this I had to head down to Singtel shops to get it. I was like “GOSH!”, so they canceled the online order, waived the cancellation fee and then referred me to the appropriate Singtel shop where I could enjoy the offer.

So I made my way to the Singtel shop at Compass Point and queued, yeah that is the con of getting stuff from the shops but of course it is great to be able to get my phone on the same day as well. The service staff was great but there was this rude guy who was demanding to see the manage and stuff, quite a scene but of course I cannot comment on who is right or wrong but the “shouting” was quite a distraction. I think they should get a room to do such crisis control. So at the end of the day I made off with my new toy at SGD$176, everything in, new SIM card, registration etc.

I’ve yet to test out the phone fully but say hello to VOIP, Broadband access, E-mail and much more. Oh Singtel was giving this Sweet Treats, which are really Jelly beans but I think I prefer the ones sold at Candy Empire.
