It’s the first time I’ve attended a concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Embarrassing, I know…
The show ran for two hours and ended nicely on a high with ‘霍元甲’.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

I’m so chuffed with the new Wu Wei (無爲) theme from WordPress.
Chuffed, chuffed, chuffed. So glad to be rid of that awful drop shadow nonsense.
Too cute! Must buy!!

I should’ve thought of this earlier.
For as long as I can remember, there are only about 20—30 of you regular readers, which works out to 200+ views on average per day.
Then, last night, an anomaly like this happened:
I have some serious lurkers…
The SMS from SingTel:
IPHONE: You have a date next Friday 10 July with your new iPhone 3GS – keep it free! We will email you early next week with launch event details, prices and upgrade options. Have a good weekend and see u next Friday! It’s going to be huge!
This came in from SingTel earlier today:
Hello [Tetanus],
I have good news! Shortly SingTel will begin selling the new iPhone 3G S in Singapore.
The iPhone 3G S lets you do it even faster than before. Launch and switch between applications quickly. Shoot, edit, and share video right on your phone. Make a call or play a song using just your voice. And discover many more features that make iPhone 3G S the best iPhone yet.
Plus this device also downloads data much quicker at 7.2 Mbps using SingTel’s unrivalled 3G network.
I know you are keen to know more about pricing and the launch date, we haven’t finalised these details yet, but if you register your interest, as soon as the pricing is out I will send you the details.
Simply visit www.singtel.com/reg
Of course, with full mobile number portability, you can now retain your existing M1 or StarHub mobile with us. When you switch to SingTel, your family and friends can still contact you via your existing number. It’s that simple!
I don’t know about you but I can’t wait for the new iPhone3G S to arrive!
You know, I’d have reacted positively if it weren’t for two things:
One, that the email is addressed to “Hello [SURNAME]“—yes, it was in all caps. For the effort you’d taken in making the tone of your email personable, don’t you think it would’ve have been better if you used the first names of the people on your mailing list instead?
Two, that the last sentence in the email is word for word the same as the last line in the email you sent me last year regarding the iPhone 3G.
Seriously, guys. You’ve had a week since the iPhone 3G S was announced—maybe longer, since I’m pretty sure you’ve been privvy to advanced information as a launch partner—and the best you can do is to copy and paste a form letter that was hokey and insincere to begin with?
So, no thanks; I won’t be getting an iPhone 3G S from you. Even if the launch date falls on the day before my birthday.
