NoCopyright of: Paris Beaverbanks I’m dying to say no to this most irritating bit of work that started out as a bit of fun and is now turning into a nightmare. I took it up because I could always use a new bag or some new shoes. I did not expect the stress that comes [...]

How to get free wifi on your mobile in SingaporeCopyright of: Paris Beaverbanks When I was down in Singapore most recently, I did not relish the thought of incurring a crazy high phone bill, what with being used to the unlimited data I have on my Blackberry and all.

“free” breakfast!Copyright of: Paris Beaverbanks Had breakfast at Coffee Bean and found out that we could pay with Citibank points. Since I only ever use my Citibank points to redeem fee waivers this was another good reason to use it. 3000 plus points for about RM18 not bad!

Calling London 2012 – is that the best you can do?Copyright of: Paris Beaverbanks I nicked this off Beetrice’s site. After London’s amazing campaign video when bidding for the Summer Olympic Games 2012, they came up with these 2 sorry looking mascots. Is this some sort of Brit humour I’m not getting?
