Club 30's "Kill the Boredom Demon" Jive Pad, 19th Edition

sounds like KLIA all over again.. but then, new airports will have their teething problems..
frankly, they didn't do enough testing of the systems... and if they did, there will still be problems and bugs found...
i know.. i was operations manager of a project which we took 4 months to troubleshoot and test.. that was the initial phase.. then another 4 months to test the second phase of the system...
it ran well but there were still bugs after all that testing... -
How's the new mac?
I finally bought an ipod nano to replace my busted ipod shuffle.

chep lap kok is grand .... it's gigantic ....
taking off from changi and landing there, it's like flying from saskatoon airport to vancouver ....
we're loosing the airport game big time ... The hongkies are rude but they understand service ... Singaporeans are slightly nicer but they're clueless when it comes to service ... -
the iMac is GOOOOOOOOOOD!
i won't have gone for the nano... i'd have bought the new iPod 80GB
the nano is way too small for me..
i like the size of my iPod mini.. most of all, it was FREE! -
The nano, being solid state, is good for me when I go running (Yes, I've actually added running to my exercise routine)Originally posted by the Bear:the iMac is GOOOOOOOOOOD!

i think all iPods are now video-enabled...
and they're launching the 80GB one soon, i think...
btw, the iPods are tougher than you think..Originally posted by av98m:The nano, being solid state, is good for me when I go running (Yes, I've actually added running to my exercise routine)

either that or they covered it up...
but looking at the whole goddamned IMF thing, they would have overprepared like 20 times over... they are that kiasu... which is a good thing sometimes, but it does speak of being idiotic...Originally posted by sbst275:Somewhat Changi opened smoothly -

The IMF how they did it looked so fake

I guess its safe to say the imf did not pan out like they had hopedOriginally posted by the Bear:either that or they covered it up...

well, after dropping the iPod mini so many times, it's still working... i would think it's robust enough for running

That the IMF think the people here are robots and that we are the adult 'Disneyland' .....which really mean it just doesn't look real...it's all fantasyOriginally posted by sbst275:Might have been

adult 'disneyland', surely you dun mean...Originally posted by elindra:That the IMF think the people here are robots and that we are the adult 'Disneyland' .....which really mean it just doesn't look real...it's all fantasy 
Anyway, seriously it's really so fake, and the fellows forgot to go back to normal schedule -
so the anticipated hordes of shopping delegates didn't pan out ? ... -

Let me ask you this: If you were an imf delegate here on serious business, how much shopping do you actually intend to do? And what's here in Singapore that you cannot buy elsewhere or online? -
Not really. I don't think the delegates earn that much anywayOriginally posted by Fatum:so the anticipated hordes of shopping delegates didn't pan out ? ...
I mean the papers had an article on this delegate wife and she said the most she can spend was like $100 or was it $200 because that is all she can afford... -
The MIW forgot that other ministers/government officials do not make as much money as they doOriginally posted by elindra:Not really. I don't think the delegates earn that much anyway

so... not content with screwing the world, the IMF screws their own employees too
btw, the delegates who came.. i dunno.. it's like a vacation for a lot of them... -
hmmmm .... I guess it's a case of the ones from the rich countries having better shopping at home, and the poor ones not being able to afford it ? ..

Seriously, I dun think so...Originally posted by Fatum:so the anticipated hordes of shopping delegates didn't pan out ? ...
The most are the delegates spouses
Our public transportation is lousy and somemore have SBS buses do IMF Hotel Shuttles at 10 mins frequency which ended up bus bo lang except the driver -
Yeah and she did mention the air-tickets here to SG was more than her pay @@ or was it half her pay or somethingOriginally posted by av98m:The MIW forgot that other ministers/government officials do not make as much money as they do -
