Bought Mom’s favourite chinese pastries from the famous Thye Lee

They’ve been consistently yummylicious, with the thin crisp outer skin
and rich sweet inner lotus paste. Absolutely fabulous.

Then Mom returned with a red bundle of suprise.

I took one up, examined its texture.

The slightly moist reflective skin indicated ripeness.
It felt a little squishy too!

I couldn’t resist squeezing..

Splat! Squeezed a little too hard, sending bits of durian cream
on my face and all over in the vicinity of 1 meter.

Joking.. I simply took a bite.

It really felt like custard pie, only creamier and sweeter!

The durian season is here!

Recently, Lihao has a few friends enquiring about switching to a Mac, who ask what’s so great about switching to another Operationg System, other from familiar WindowsXP.

Mike has a list here
with the top 10 reasons after his initial switch FOUR years ago (even longer than yours truly!).

Finally its here!

Remember playing quake or counterstrike and having to pull out the cool console/terminal ingame to type in some commands to change a game level or something?

Something like this.

Now there’s Visor that brings that to the Mac desktop! Check out my screenshot!

Sweet!

You can bind a shortcut key to call it up with a nice transition effect with customizable delay.

The nice thing is Visor automatically hides when u click on another application, so it doesn’t get in your way.

And of course it retains the session/remembers what you typed even after it hides so you can resume work after recalling it.

Get rocking with Visor here!

I finally got my automatic labeller!

It’s a Brother P-Touch PT-1830, capable of printing labels up till 20mm thick!

A couple of friends have said that they could easily just write and label stuff in hand, but I digress.

Take a look.

Would you prefer this…

or this?

Which one’s easier to read?

I’m sure you would agree with me that the latter would make filing so fun and systematic, that you might even enjoy and start labelling everything at home!

Here’s the full set, that I bought, the labeller package comes with a free sample label cartridge (I’m not sure how long it’ll last) and beside it is a black box of another label I’ve purchased.

Typing was a breeze!

Easy piecy! Printed out!

Brother labels are pretty nice, you can peel the labels out from the middle out, as the non sticky wax paper is split into half.

A closer look of the label wax paper..

I can’t wait to get started!

If you’re new here, you might be asking what’s GTD. 43Folders has a good introductory article to it. When I find the time, will blog more my GTD experience in time to come!

Wait for more pictures of my file folders nicely labelled in my file cabinet!

If you’re going to record your jedi ninjitsu on your home camera, remember to trash it.
