Seriously, WTF is wrong with SingTel?
Sorry but the post title obviously means I am pretty darn pissed will SingTel’s sub standard service. For the past 2 months, I am experiencing at least 10 network disruptions daily when I work from home. I mean seriously, a couple of weeks I can understand but 2 whole months?
Network Lost on SingTel again
I have never had this problem when I was on StarHub. It was 12 years ago but I never had issues with M1 either. Why does a consumer pay SGD100.00 a month on the iFlexPlus plan and suffer from such outages? I quote a text message I received from them on 9th Dec 2009.
From: 7415 20 – Singtel. Your iPhone plan will be upgraded FREE with 12GB local data & a $30 data cap, with no change in your subscription, from 9 Dec 2009. All this on the Network with the Best Coverage. <Stop ADV, reply UNSUB>
No offense but ‘best coverage’ my arse. I am not getting any red umbrellas lately. The only way to avoid this is to turn on auto-roaming and incur roaming charges while I am in the country. Any connected calls I make or receive from my home office is pathetic to say the least.
Now if someone could advice me if this is sufficient grounds to terminated my mobile contract with SingTel without penalties, it will be greatly appreciated. My SingTel connection woes are having a negative impact during business hours.
Update: saw the ‘No Service’ indication on my phone again this morning. Only picked up a network after I restarted the phone. Goodness knows how long it was out. So, I am supposed to keep checking that I have a network connection? WTF?!?
No Service from SingTel again

Nicholas M Ong – Site refreshed
GraphPaperPress
I have finally completed a site refresh. Still based on GraphPaperPress – Modularity with some tweaks on the Modfolio child theme, I am liking the new site a lot. I went through a number of frameworks like Hybrid, Thematic and Buffet but decided to stick with Modularity. I guess the incorporation of the Blueprint CSS structure in the Modularity framework has won me over once again.
Except for 2 lines of CSS codes that could be tweaked for better typography, I think I am pretty much done on this. That is it for my first task before the Chinese New Year.
Wear your seatbelts
The Lunar Chinese New Year is less then 2 weeks away. I am pretty sure, some folks would be already on leave by now. It goes without saying, catching up with friends over dinner and drinks will one some of the activities for this festive season. When you drink, don’t drive. It just ain’t worth it. As always, keep your seatbelts on. We never know when we’ll need it most. I certainly hope we will never need it ever in our lifetime.
Still working on it…
It wasn’t too long ago that I refreshed the site with new colours in the hope of improving typography. I decided to let the current theme stay for a bit to see if it sticks. Unfortunately, it needs further work. This will of course mean less time posting here and more time sorting out the theme. So while I’m still working on it, below is a video for your entertainment.
