Went to Singapore Discovery Centre today with the kids. Its been a while since I took them out alone and i have to say it was quite a nice day.

We started off having breakfast at the canteen and it was fishballs and milo for the kids. As you can see Clié is quite excited about the little excursion.

Cleo did not know what to expect, but I think she is glad to be out of the house too.

We took pictures with Singapore’s many races and i have to say the characters are quite nice.

There was even a part where there are blocks like blocks (HDB blocks) where you can stack around to build your own city. Quite a nice idea and its fun too.

As the SDC is just beside Army Museum, we went in for a peek too. This was the best time for me to explain to my girls why daddy need to wear camo and boots once in a while and go for reservist.

Packed with 4,703 Mazdas, the deep-sea car transport rolled to its side in the North Pacific in July of 2006. The owners and insurance company called Titan Salvage and Joshua Davis writes this movie-able account in Wired’s March 08 issue.

Titan’s business plan hinged on the idea that ships could be saved by human ingenuity, not horsepower, and the company’s unconventional approach worked.

Totally enjoyed the read, even teared at the end.

Previous great reads from Wired:

My cousin Kenny asked me for my address a few weeks ago and i knew he will be sending me something. I never would expect that to be an autograph by Rodney Mullen.

Kenny got this this when Rodney Mullen was visiting UCLA.

Once again, thanks loads Kenny. This is an excellent surprise.

I do have a twitter account but i hardly use it. I always wanted to add something like twitter to my website, but just could not decide which one to use out of the gazillion of web apps out there.

As I do use facebook everyday and see that VanTan have added a Facebook Badge to her site, I added one straight away. I never knew they had this, but its not surprising for such an innovative multi-million dollar company to have such a feature.

This is how it looks like.

And I can customise it more if I want. Cool. Go get yours today.
