Firstly, exams are round the corner and suffice to say I just need to have an A to be able to get an overall A for all my subjects! All my project results are currently at A and term tests, labtests to! Hopefully to pull up my GPA to more than 3.5 with this semester.

Edit: ComMunication SKills 3(CMSK3) sucks so thats why the Strikethrough.. I’m not expecting an A or even hoping for one. Just want to clear it.

I am already expecting an F for the Cross Disciplinary Subject Life Sciences & You. Its totally crap and I WILL definitely retake another CDS, and definitely NOT a Science type. Seriously, I just suck at it. Probably public speaking will be better for me.

Secondly.. Bryan just jumped the ship from Starhub to Singtel. He terminated most of his hub plans, i.e. landline, mobile and internet for Singtel’s Mio Home + Mobile. Since he already bought a C905 less than a month ago, he got an iPhone and sold it to me at $950. He’s happy. I’m happy.

iPhone was great, except for the fact that there were several issues with the stock one:

1. No MMS support (receive/send)
2. Insane GPRS Charges due to data fetching/pulling (cannot turn off!!?)
3. No Video Recorder/ Sound Recorder
4. Unable to send/receive files via Bluetooth (apparently its 2.0 EDR Bluetooth is for headset only)
5. Camera unable to change settings (color, zoom, megapixel etc)

I definitely cant live with the above so..

I jailbroke my iPhone myself, saving $30 if went to shops. Installed 3rd party applications such as BossPrefs, Cycorder and stuff.

Now I can do alot of stuff, disable GPRS, and video quality was the best I ever saw in all my phones. I just cant receive/send files via bluetooth, eagerly awaiting iBluetooth application to be out to fix the problem. The wonders of having an open community (; And tons of games! Also customised the iPhone with themes and such.

I also signed up for starhubs data value pack, @ $5/month for GPRS 3G speeds for the occasional on the go emails checks, web surfing on my iphone.  The plan gives 10mb of bundled data, which is little. Excess is charged at 0.32 cents per kb in 2kb blocks. However, the cap is $36 inc. GST total charge including the $5 monthly, which makes it a unlimited mobile broadband plan for $36. And without contract too, so I am trying it out now. Ultimately I will jump to Singtel’s student plan for its free Caller ID 12 Months, which I can recontract yearly to keep enjoying it, free campus calls and also for the BroadBand On Mobile 30GB 1Mbps plan at only $22 before discount!  I honestly dont think I will ever exceed 30GB on casual usage. Can even double up as internet if I connect my iPhone to my laptop to do those stuff in school which have their ports blocked, such as Remote Accessing my server This will have to wait till November though.. damn contract.

Below are some pictures taken directly from the iPhone screenshot function, like PrtSc on Windows:
