Banana Phone!
Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring
Banana phone
Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring
Banana phone
I've got this feeling
So appealing
For us to get together and sing
Sing!
Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring
Banana phone
Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding
Danana phone
It grows in bunches
I've got my hunches
It's the best
Beats the rest
Cellular, modular, interactive-odular
Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring
Banana phone
Ping pong ping pong ping pong ping
Panana phone
It's no baloney
It ain't a pony
My cellular, bananular phone
Banana Phone Ep. 1
Banana Phone Ep. 2
Man, that really brings back memories for me, seeing as the banana phone (otherwise known as the Nokia 8110) was my first mobile phone. This is the same phone that was popularized (again) in The Matrix.
But that phone, of course, is a far cry from Samsung's SCH-S250, which sports a 5 MegaPixel camera, MP3 support, 3D Games and sounds, and the ability to record up to 100 minutes of video.
Unfortunately, it's only available in Korea, and it only works in CDMA2000 networks.
Here's some more pictures to drool over while we dream of the day that phone will make it to our shores: 1|2|3

... And they're coming for YOU next!
A Chinese satellite crashed through the roof of a house in Sichuan, China today after re-entering the Earth's atmosphere. Fortunately, no one was hurt, and the eternally optimistic owner was quoted by the Xinhua news agency as saying "The satellite landed in our home. Maybe this means we'll have good luck this year."
Right...
But then again:
"The landing technology of our country's satellites is very mature and the precision of the landing point is among the best in the world. Members of the public need not worry about this," it also said, quoting Chinese space experts.
So does this mean they were aiming for the guy's roof?
"Have you ever known a cave being demolished by falling space junk? That Chinese satellite that fell last year was targetting your house, and the next has learnt by previous mistakes!!!"
(No, this is NOT the first time this happened. And yes, obviously it DID learn from previous mistakes).
Right...

My version of events goes something like this:
Chinese Government Official 1: "We need to build a highway through this place, but there's a house in the way. I don't think it's gonna be that easy to get rid of it."
Chinese Government Official 2: "Hmmm.... you're right..." *thinks* "Say.... Weren't we going to bring that satellite back down this week?"
CGO1: "Oh my God! You're right! Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
CGO2: "Yes, I do believe I am thinking what you're thinking."
CGO1: "Call the Chinese Space Agency now!"
CGO2: "Already on the speed dial."
"Have you ever known a cave being demolished by falling space junk? That Chinese satellite that fell last year was targetting your house, and the next has learnt by previous mistakes!!!"

The stone lions in front of the Bank of China building...
... never fails to make my day. :D
They always somehow manage to take me to my happy place every time I look at them. (I think it should be obvious why.) :P
They kinda look like they're laughing at a private joke, don't they?

I need help
So here's what happened. My genius landlord decided to cut the phone line at the house on Tuesday night without asking me, because he "wasn't using it".
The same phone line that I was using for my ADSL connection.
The same phone line that I told him I needed for my ADSL connection.
So I was stuck without an internet connection at home. Which would've been OK, except for the fact that the office where my new project is has NO internet connection either. So I went to apply for cable internet on Thursday.
The girl at Starhub told me that the connection will be up by the time I reached home that night. But of course, this being me, it didn't. I called up tech support to check the status of my connection, and I was told that there is a minimum of 24 hours before the connection is activated.
That was when the shakes started...
So the next day I went to Starhub again to ask why my connection wasn't active then. Turns out there was a "problem" and that my connection will only be activated on Saturday morning.
At this point, I was so desperate that I would've probably given literally anything for a bit of bandwith. Luckily, Oktoberfest was on that night in Paulaner Brauhaus, so me and a buncha friends went there. That helped ease the pain a bit, and by the time I got home I was so tired I went straight to bed, and woke up this morning with a screaming hot internet connection.
WOOHOO!!!!
