			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Applied for Deferment from NS &#8230;</p>
<p>Stupid reply I got from them was that work commitment does not constitute valid grounds for deferment.</p>
<p>Can someone tell me then why the hell did they include work commitment under the drop down menu at the deferment page?</p>
<p>They also mentioned that I had to note that I had deferred my NS before.</p>
<p>If each NS man is ONLY allowed to defer his service once or twice in his lifetime, they should have stated it somewhere somehow and highlighted it to me in the very first place.</p>
<p>Talk about crap replies.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Desperately need to replace my Asus P750.</p>
<p>I love the phone, but it&#8217;s been screwing up like crazy lately&#8230; and I need my phone more than ever for work.</p>
<p>4 different OS to consider&#8230;</p>
<p>iphone, android, winmobile and symbian.</p>
<p>I need threaded messenging. I never understood how I survived (back in the old days) with having to go to the inbox and then to the outbox and then back again to read a complete conversation.</p>
<p>I still don&#8217;t understand how many can live with it now as well.</p>
<p>Therefore, threaded messenging is a must.</p>
<p>Secondly&#8230; will need certain apps to go along with the phone. I will need eWallet on it. So far, only iphone and winmobile has it. I didn&#8217;t check for symbian, but I just can&#8217;t see myself using symbian as well&#8230;</p>
<p>If only the Nokia E52 has threaded messenging as well as an app like eWallet&#8230;</p>
<p>Also need apps like currency converter&#8230;. metric converters and also MS Office for mobile&#8230; need to read excel and all that &#8230;.</p>
<p>I would prefer a keypad rather than a QWERTY or on screen input.</p>
<p>But the Samsung Omnia 2 has got a screen keypad which I tried before&#8230; although I can&#8217;t feel it (sms-ing without looking at the phone with one hand) &#8230;. it&#8217;s still usable when I look at the phone <img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_wink.gif' alt='&#59;&#41;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#59;&#41;' /></p>
<p>The input for the iphone is horrible though. I can never type a proper sentence with it no matter how i try even when I rotate the screen to landscape mode.</p>
<p>Andriod really has got limited apps&#8230; something I don&#8217;t think i can live with.</p>
<p>Therefore&#8230;. I guess winmobile phone still wins at the end of the day.</p>
<p>Question is&#8230; which one now?</p>
<p>HTC Touch 2? HTC Touch Diamond 2?</p>
<p>I am waiting for the HTC HD2 to come out&#8230; but the thought of waiting till Nov sucks &#8230; I need the phone NOW!!!</p>
<p>Samsung Omnia 2? Which one to go for?</p>
<p>The hunt for a replacement phone is driving me nuts!</p>
<p>Oh! and I need one with a decent camera too&#8230; my current camera in the phone totally sucks&#8230;.</p>

<p>This is the result of my run last night&#8230;</p>
<p>18 rounds&#8230; at the 15th round onwards&#8230; my right knee and calf felt like it was going to give way &#8230; I had to stop for awhile and massage my leg before continuing on the last 3 rounds as I was targetting at least 7km &#8230;</p>
<p>Stupid ipod nano G5 &#8230;. nice device&#8230; but after jogging and all that &#8230; it was covered in sweat&#8230; I couldn&#8217;t get the thing to stop or pause the workout properly&#8230;.</p>
<p>Thus the results of this jog last nite&#8230; the pace was very slow&#8230;</p>
<p>Hope I do better soon&#8230; and that my leg wouldn&#8217;t act up again <img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_smiley.gif' alt='&#58;&#41;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#58;&#41;' /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Newcastle drew with Portsmouth last night.</p>
<p>They needed a win desperately. All they could muster was a miserable point. With the error prone David James in goal, you would&#8217;ve thought it would be easy. Owen is way past his due date like I mentioned before. All the missed chances squandered by him and Martins would be costly.</p>
<p>Next match is against Liverpool. How on earth are they going to get even a point at Anfield?</p>
<p>Sheesh&#8230;. I guess the BPL would be very uninteresting for me next season as Newcastle would be in the Championship. Baby would be happy as I wouldn&#8217;t be rushing home for the live matches anymore.</p>
<p>Perhaps I could even cancel the sports subscription from Starhub and save some money.</p>
<p>Sigh&#8230;. we need more than a miracle to stay up <img src='http://lightspeedzone.net/blog/smilies/yahoo_sad.gif' alt='&#58;&#40;' class='wp-smiley' width='18' height='18' title='&#58;&#40;' /></p>
