Residing in sunny Singapore where the food is great, weather is either too hot or too wet, where the worst drivers in the world are found and cars prices so high that car owners feel they own the road.

For no apparent reason, with no warning whatsoever, my laptop hdd crashed while I was using it in class.
Although I have bought a new hdd and 'resurrected' my laptop, I have lost quite a lot of data (namely, photos and videos) that are stored in my hdd. So I sent my broken hdd to DataSavers for a free evaluation on data recovery. This is their quotation:
Dear Mr Guay,
Good day to you and how are you? Thank you for submitting your hard disk to us. Rest assured that we will do our best to recover your data.
Our data recovery specialist had done an evaluation on your hard disk.
The head in the hard disk is electrically damaged. This in turn has caused it to be misaligned, causing file read write access errors.
Slight scratches can also be found on the platter due to misaligned head scratching its surface. These scratches have affected some of the sectors where your data is residing. We will need to procure an identical model and revision number hard disk to perform a head and platter swap to recover the data. The platter then needs to be refurbished in a clean room environment moving forward.
Data should be recoverable if there platter damage is not too severe. We will only know the detailed results pending further work. Please find attached the quotation for your job with a 5% home user discount.
Moral of this story: a simple backup may save you thousands of dollars.
I think this is the first for me where 2 former classmates marry one another. Congrats to Mingshi and Swee Kiat! Both were my classmates in 96S72 of HCJC with Swee Kiat being in RVHS AND same class as me from Sec 1-4.
The others: Winnie (HCJC same class), Boon Jong (RVHS diff class, HCJC same class). So, 2 friends of 1 decade, and 2 friends of 1.5 decades in this photo.
You know you're old when your 'old' friends are measured in 'decades'...
I use to do this in Brunei during my Jungle Survival Training. Took me like 20 mins (without removing the bark). And this machine can do it in less than 15 seconds.
