After much careful consideration, the 3 baby lovebirds are named Tweeter, Puffy and Noa.

Why those names?

Noa, the youngest lovebird, is the 4th child of Bluey and Greenbean and so she is ‘No.4′. And since ‘4′ often represents the letter ‘a’ in L33t sp34k (Elite speak) in the geek world, ‘No.4′ = Noa!

Puffy is named because she audibly huffs and puffs whenever I pick her up. I was intending to name her HuffPuff but KuKuNehNeh decided against it.

Tweeter is named as such because….. well…. She tweets.

Here are some pictures of them!

Tweeter!

Noa!

From L to R: Tweeter, Puffy & Noa

From L to R: Puffy, Noa & Tweeter

They are absolutely adorable at this age (Tweeter & Puffy @ 4 weeks+, Noa @ 3 weeks+) and all they want is the baby handfeeding formula and to cuddle up to my warm palms. I know I am spoiling all the mood of this cute post by saying, all birds love a good stroke.

Yep… It’s true, the 3 birds love it when you stroke their cheeks and heads.

They are also very active! Check out the video below.

And to help you guys understand the complex structure of our lovebird family. Here is a family tree!

Awesome Family Tree isn't it?

I’ll be revealing the winner of the Singtel INQ Mobile Contest at the end of this post but first of all, I’ve got some news for you guys who are interested in checking out the INQ Mini 3G or have been waiting for Singtel to wave more carrots for you to get the phone (which is already free if you sign up for a certain plan by the way).

Singtel will be holding an INQ Mini 3G roadshow at Plaza Singapura tomorrow and on Sunday!

Details:

Venue: Plaza Singapura Level 1

Dates: 31st Oct (Sat) & 1st Nov (Sun)

Time: 11am – 10pm daily

Mediacorp artists Dai Yang Tian & Elvin Ng, will be appearing at 8pm on Sat and Sun respectively. These two are arguably the most good looking of the younger, up and coming stars of local TV and I hope they should be able to convince you to at least check them out while buying the INQ Mini 3G.

Now! About the carrots that Singtel is offering to you guys who are interested to buy the INQ Mini 3G but have yet to do so.

Print the following e-voucher and present it at the INQ Mini 3G roadshow this weekend when you buy the phone to enjoy…

1. Free pack of 3 INQ Mini 3G battery covers (worth $34.95)
2. Waiver of registration fee and SIM card charge (worth $42.80)

Print sized JPEG of the voucher here.

What’s a roadshow without a lucky draw? All purchases of the INQ Mini 3G made during the roadshow may win you a 12-month Singtel mobile subscription! One winner will be picked for each day of the roadshow.

So print the e-voucher, get down to Plaza Singapura this weekend, check out the INQ Mini 3G, buy the phone for ZERO dollars, ogle and take pictures with the celebrities with your new phone.

There, I made weekend plans for you already. :p

Check out my review of the phone here if you are still undecided.

————————————————————————–

And as promised, the winner who will walk away with $100 cash and a $100 shopping voucher from my blog is….

*drumroll…………………………….*

MUSXZART!!!!

For those that have been following me on Twitter and Plurk, you guys probably know that my bird family has expanded considerably!

KuKuNehNeh and I have 7 lovebirds now in total and they are:

Bluey! 10 months old and mother of 4!

Greenbean! 9 months old and father of 4! (he thinks he is a spider sometimes)

Uno! 10 weeks old and first child of Bluey and Greenbean

Mango! 5 weeks old! Ain't she a beauty?

Bluey was very quick to start a family after Uno and for the 2nd batch of eggs that she laid, 3 were hatched out of the 6.

Bluey's 2nd batch of eggs and chicks

Look at the size difference! The two larger chicks are only 2 days apart from each other with the oldest one at 12 days old at the time of the pic above and the smallest one is at 2 days old. Before the birth of the runt, we had probably accepted that were only 2 chicks from this batch but this little one surprised us all.

The 2 larger baby lovebirds are now 15 and 17 days old and are being handfed. They don’t have names yet! So to save us from the lack of imagination and them from being called Bird #1 and Bird #2, help me think of names to call them!

Bird #1 & Bird #2... look at how sad they are with no names....

Leave me your suggestions in the comments below!

Try not to give names longer than 2 syllables.  When I want the lovebirds over, it’s hard to say “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! COME HERE!”

I leave you with more pics of the lovebirds!

Uno attempting pull-ups

Mango loves a warm hand.

We had a very tight schedule for the night after work yesterday and ended up asking KuKuNehNeh’s (KKNN) parents to help buy some takeaway for us to save time.

So we were eating from the same packet of fried beehoon when we realized that it wasn’t going to fill neither of us up. We were down to the last 5-6 mouthfuls when I decided to let her have it all being the AWESOME bf that I am. :p

Me: “Eh dear, you can finish the rest of the beehoon. I had enough.”

KKNN: “No dear, you finish it up. You must be hungry.”

“Ah? But I’m sure it’s not enough for you. I am not that hungry now.”

“No, no. You eat it!”

“Er…. okay lor.”

As I begin to finish up the rest of the food, she suddenly jumps up and had a wonderful grin on her face as she exclaimed,

“HEHEHEHEEE… I go get my big pack of Kettle potato chips to eat.”

And she skips happily away to get her cheddar chips.

That was probably her plan all along to leave space for the above…

I love this woman to bits!

Singtel INQ Mini 3G was launched at Civic Plaza and bloggers & celebrities were invited to attend the very nicely set up containers in front of Ngee Ann City.

The happy KuKuNehNeh (KKNN)

Shan and the even happier KKNN

Randall and the even, even, even happier KKNN

KKNN and Holly Jean

Holly Jean and Me

KKNN and Me

Me and Dawn

Twitter, being a integral selling point of the INQ Mini 3G, coupled with the enthusiasm of the bloggers in the same room as Dawn, made her pretty interested in figuring out what Twitter is.

"Twitter si simi lai eh?"

Randall shows the ropes

Dawn Yeoh signs up

Unlike the America where most celebrities have more or less embraced social media, especially Twitter; only a handful of local celebrities have actually done the same. Thanks to Randall and the bloggers, Dawn Yeoh and Jesseca Liu have at least signed up for Twitter and we await with baited breath if they will actually use their accounts regularly. Go add em and urge them on!

Singtel has won the bid over Starhub to broadcast the Barclays Premier League (BPL) for 3 seasons beginning 2010 and boy am I pissed.

Pissed because the reason I pay $52.73 monthly for my Starhub CableTV is for the $25 component that says “Sports Group”. And it may jolly well be named as “BPL Group”, because the only thing I really watch on Starhub CableTV is BPL football.

So if you take away the only reason I am paying FIFTY-TWO DOLLARS and SEVENTY-THREE CENTS every month, please don’t expect me to pay for Starhub CableTV come October 2010.

It’s easy to blame Singtel for this situation as they have taken the whole pie out of the plate leaving nothing to eat for the diners at Starhub’s table. Sentiments I garnered from Twitter proved that most are pissed with Singtel or/and Starhub and only a couple celebrating (Presumably the rare ones that are actually subscribed to Singtel’s mio TV).

I initially felt the same anger towards Starhub for not bidding hard enough to retain the rights and Singtel for greedily taking the pie which they never ever had in the first place. But then again, it’s all business. Instead of the possibility of sharing the pie, it was all or nothing.

I’m gonna boycott both cable tv providers next year once BPL screening makes the switch. No way I am paying to switch providers every 3 years just to watch football.

KuKuNehNeh and I were walking around AMK Central after a very heavy breakfast at KFC during the weekend when she said that she wanted to try eyebrow threading. It was probably the unsavoury waffles and omelettes sitting in my stomach that spoke when she asked, “You wanna try threading too?”

I said, “Ok.”

It was akin to standing hundreds of feet up on a precipice with nothing but a rope attached to your legs when I lay on the chair thinking, “Er…. why did I sign up for this?”

I will probably be sounding whiny from this moment on as it was BLOODY PAINFUL! Who in the right frame of mind would sit there and let someone rip your eyebrows out using threads? I involuntarily teared while the attendant (probably) smirked as she see this grown man wearing pink, sniffing (had a runny nose lar!) and tearing at her every move.

I have to admit that my eyebrows look so much neater after the threading. I am just thinking that maybe….just MAYBE… that the pain that eyebrow threading causes is worth it.

Can’t tell how much better my eyebrow looks?

Let me show you a ‘before’ pic.

Singtel is officially selling the INQ Mini 3G as of today and I had the privilege to attend their blogger event on Monday and brought home a unit to try it out!

INQ Mini 3G box

accessories...

T9 keypad layout

2 MP Camera

INQ Mini Switcher button that allows ease of jumping to other apps

INQ cards designed by artists all around the world

Features/instructions on the back of the cards

Size comparison of INQ Mini 3G and iPhone

Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time with the phone to give and in depth review but here are the pros & cons.

Pros:

• Phone designed with social applications integrated into it’s core like Facebook, Twitter, WLM etc..
• Light
• Applications can be downloaded/updated easily
• Aesthetically pleasing design with many colours to choose from
• Buttons are well define and relatively easy to press
• Very, very, very affordable price

Cons:

• Felt fragile
• No 3.5mm headphone jack (earphones are connected via usb)
• Felt a little sluggish at times

If you are looking for a phone to beat the Blackberry, iPhone, Android and whatever top-of-the-line phones you can think of; the INQ Mini 3G is not it. But INQ and Singtel has priced this phone at $0.

Yes. ZERO DOLLARS, if you sign up the 3G Flexi Lite AMPed plan or the iOne Plus Youth plan.

The phone is built for social media crazed individual and the price point makes it pretty irresistible if you don’t have much cash to spare.

———————————————————————————————

I hope you guys have read about the mission I intended to carry out on a restaurant in Holland Village in support of “Are You Being Served?“, a website that gives the “low-down” on the service standards in Singapore.

I only took this pic because I was too busy eating and worrying about being exposed. :p

And the restaurant being put up to the test is none other than Fosters.

What can a mission be without the visit of Murphy, and we saw a real situation of a table of customers doing exactly what we had planned for. These customers requested to change their tables in the middle of their meal and the waitresses acceded and attended to their request.

With our plan becoming a cliché for the very evening, we contemplated between KKNN ‘accidently’ stabbing my hand with the steak knife or me giving her a wet shirt moment with my glass of coke. Luckily, the mission unveiled itself when KKNN’s steak came almost well-done when we actually asked for medium.

The waitresses were quick to come to our table when called for and was very apologetic about our steak even though she wasn’t responsible for not leaving some ‘moo~~’ in the meat. They took the steak back to the kitchen to re-fire a new one but not before asking if my steak was cooked to my request. One little complaint is that the chef didn’t bother to reheat the sides despite replacing the steak and left KKNN eating cold greens and potatoes.

Although the food was not really up to expectations, we were very pleased with the service levels of the waitresses at Fosters. They were all smiles throughout the night and were very attentive without being the intrusive kind who would stare down every morsel of food that I put into my mouth.

Hurray for great service!

About a week back, I received an sms from my Mum while I was out.

If there is ever a way to do a ROFLWTFBBQ in the MRT at that point in time, I would have done it.

My Mum, not wanting to just use her phone for calls, picked up the skill of using sms many years back. And it amazes me that she has picked up using smileys in her sms-es now. She’s in her mid-50s by the way!

Of course the amusement was a little short lived considering that she broke my guitar that was with me ever since I was 18 years of age.

How many countless zhar bors have I tackled How many times I have played with this guitar! It was pretty cheap when I bought it at just over a $100 back then and learned to play it from a friend and the internet where you could probably learn how to levitate if you search hard enough.

Not really intending to replace it as I haven’t been playing the instrument for quite a few years now. KuKuNehNeh is already in my hands and I don’t need to do any more serenading.

WAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAH!!

INQ Mobile is giving away $100 cash and a $100 shopping voucher to one lucky winner!

INQ is one mobile phone company that is doing things a little differently with their phones. They cater for users like you and me who feels the need to be constantly ‘plugged into’ the internet and be on social platforms like Skype, Windows Live Messenger (WLM) and Facebook. Guess what? They integrated the mentioned social platforms (and more) into the phone itself.

As such, my favourite feature of the INQ Mobile phones is the integration of social platforms into the address book of the phones. Fire up your address book, see who is online on WLM, check out their newest drunk profile pic from Facebook, call someone on Skype to laugh about the pic; all these done right in the address book.

The bad news is that the makers of the best mobile handset at the Global Mobile Awards 2009 do not have their INQ mobiles available yet in Singapore. While we all drool at the possibility of actually owning one soon, take this chance to win lovely prizes from them right here!

One lucky commentator from this blog entry will be awarded $100 cash and a $100 shopping voucher and here is what YOU have to do:

1. Go to INQ’s website and find out more about their mobile phones and note the features that you love the most.
2. Post a comment in this post about the features that you love about INQ mobiles.
3. [optional] Tweet, Plurk, Facebook update about this contest I am hosting to increase your chances of winning! All social updates must contain the tag #INQmobile and the URL to this post http://pea.to/inqkt so that we can track and up your chances!
   The phrase that you can use for updates is:
   I discovered a new phone thru @krisandro! Go check it out and you
   may win $200 cash + voucher! Details at http://pea.to/inqkt! #INQmobile
4. Remember to leave a valid email for your comment in this post so that we may contact you after the results are revealed. Please also leave the following information in the comments if applicable [If you did instructions no.3):
   Twitter ID:
   Plurk ID:
   Facebook Profile URL:

That is all that you need to do for a chance to win! Contest starts from now till 2359H 14th September 2009. Read up, comment and spread the word!

**Contest is open to all Singapore Citizens, PRs and Residents (If you are staying in SG right now, you are eligible!). All winners will decided by 24seven Communications and winners will be notified by email.

Uno is heading back to Ang Mo Kio today to meet her grandmother KuKuNehNeh who is probably excited enough to accidentally crush the baby lovebird with a bear hug. Uno probably won’t appreciate strippers nor alcohol for a farewell gift and so I decided to let her meet my resident dog, Junior.

So…..

This is all that is left of Uno after Junior played Uno….

WAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!

Junior is quite the coward and he is actually a little wary of Bluey the last time she came around for a 3 day stay. This time, all he did was to take a few sniffs of Uno to decide that this little bird which is about the size of his thigh, is not to be trifled with; and so he promptly turned away as well.

Uno seems pretty oblivious to Junior during the experience. She probably took a look at him and wondered if it’s too early for lunch.

Gonna miss taking care of this little lovebird!

Friends who know me most probably realize that apart from a few *cough* picky gripes about the service standard in Singapore, I am generally quite forgiving when it comes to receiving customer service.

Maybe it’s because I have tried working in the service orientated industry a few times and know how troublesome some customers can get and I also don’t want to be too pushy as a customer till the point where a waiter feels the need to add his/her saliva to my food when salt is all that is lacking.

With such a passive attitude towards the supposed ‘decline’ of service standards in Singapore, it was with great pleasure that I heard of this Singapore based website called “Are You Being Served?“.

Secret missions to uncover the standards in Singapore? I’m in!

I plan to make my way down to a steak restaurant in the heart of Holland Village where I use to frequent. It’s important to not be overboard with my service test and so, during peak hours when waiters are up to their neck with orders and requests, I would ask to change tables in the middle of the meal claiming that it is too cold.

The test will reveal how well they handle such a troublesome request when my table is full of food and the restaurant is busy. In the event that they can’t change my table, it will also test how well they try to make us comfortable despite the inability to accede to the request.

I’ll blog about my experience real soon….

Heh Heh Heh Heh Heh….. *rubs hands with evil glee*

Time flies and Uno is now a month old! The cute little baby lovebird has grown so rapidly that I often tell KuKuNehNeh that I will wake up to see an ostrich sized lovebird soon.

Watch the videos below to check out the difference in size of a 15 day old Uno and a 28 day old Uno!

Amazing right? He is starting to nibble on seeds on his own and hopefully he’ll be fully weaned real quick.
