London Bridge vs Tower Bridge

Now that I am back in Singapore, I am going to slowly upload my photos of my trips into my blog. :)

On the first day of my London trip, I went to visit the well known London bridge in the nursery rhyme: "London Bridge is Falling Down". What I actually saw is the new London bridge as the original one had already been taken down. (See wiki post for more info)

Side View of London Bridge

The nicer looking bridge that you might had seen in various tv shows is actually the London Tower Bridge which has 2 main towers at the side. The bottom of the bridge can be opened when a big ship is passing through.

We didn't have the time and patience to wait for that to happen so here's the photo from Wikipedia. It does looks like at night it'll be a lot prettier.. Too bad we went in summer and at night means it's going to be at least 11pm or later to get this sort of view..

There's also an Navy Ship on display between the London Bridge and the Tower Bridge.

That's us posing with the prettier tower bridge

There's also "The London Bridge Experience" place near the London Bridge area. From the attire of the people giving out leaflets, I think it looks like some scary experience place which is under the category that I no longer feel like visiting.

Here's more photos on the tower bridge and in that area I took for your viewing :)

Backup!

Haha.. I spent most of the day creating recovery disk (1 set -- initial setting), install everything I want then create backup disk. Lol.. Yes I really need the backup... 'cos before I create the backup.. I actually configure until the DVD drive cannot use.. Such that ermm heng hor, Windows have restore point and I was constantly installing stuff.. haha.. So I'm not too sure what config went nuts 'cos I just restore and start again loh.. It's just day 2 nia.. I spoiled the software again lol.. Think maybe I should just not try to be too funny about my config ba.. Then I try to play the game, it seems like my pointer settings will affect the game play if I use pointer. A bit ma fan.. So maybe I should just use mouse for it ba. And something wrong about the map also.. I can see the floor.. yes.. But the pic of the mini and big map for one of the quest cannot be displayed. Now trying to find direct X to install. Hopefully it helps ba. At least most of the stuff is done le....

Real Implications of 2G Service Termination for Singapore

I know the article about 2G service termination across singapore from 1st Apr 2017 was written in 2015. But how many of us actually understand the true impact of this termination then? Before things get terminated, we may have felt that since our phone is the latest model or it is at least new, the impact is minimal. But how true is that really? Please, with Dual SIM feature, it's definitely not a Sunset! It is just the beginning of our agony.. :/ With reference to the article: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/telcos-to-end-2g-services/1916108.html . I mainly only realised the impact since 21 Nov but according to M1, they had terminated the 2G services on their prepaid M Card since 15 Nov. So what does this really mean to us consumers? It means that with the Dual SIM phones out there in the market, you are in for a ride! Because, with Samsung's flagship model S7 or even the exploding model Note 7 that's later than S7, the standby or non data SIM opti...
