::RhumbaToTs:: Why Singapore Why?

I'm back in Singapore. It's freaking hot. Nothing seems to have changed, except that there is a parking lot at Jalan Kayu now (good job Mr Garmen...).

However, I have a few questions.

1. Is there a population explosion in Singapore? I went to Bugis today (on my way to Sim Lim Square) and found a horde of people squeezing to get from one place to another. I have forgotten how crowded Singapore is my gosh! Man...

2. I don't mean to be racist about this but, why do the Indians or Blangadeshis (spelling error?) stand and crowd together outside Little India MRT station like there is something going to happen? Is something going to happen?

3. Why are there no waiting seats/benches in Little India MRT station? I'm so freaking tired from my walking around Sim Lim Square and adding the condition of my ankle, I was looking forward to seating while waiting for the train. However there was no bench! Garmen, what are you doing?

4. Last question... Would buying a cheap laptop be a better alternative to buying a cheap small form factor computer?

Anyway... Welcome back to Singapore Kevin!

Heh heh. Got the 'lappy'. It's a Celeron-M 1.5 Ghz Acer TravelMate 2420. Got it at 1250 bucks after upgrade to 512MB RAM. Some CNY promotion thing. So my mum can surf in anytime she wants in peace now. Yaaay. Hopefully she starts being a little more Tech-Savvy with this. Haha.

3 related to 2? AHAHAHAHA... The Garmen scared they seat around in the MRT station? However the thing is that they don't seem to mind standing around...

A small-form factor computer are small computers... usually coming as a barebone computer system. For example,



Shuttle's XPC series of BAREBONE PCs.
