I hate the millions of standards for power plugs - neither of the 2 power adaptors I brought worked out of the box. Even better, the laptop power plug couldn't fit into either adaptor (damn, should've checked that before I left).

Macgyver I ain't, but luckily, with the aid of 2 rubber bands, a dose of ingenuity and dollops of necessity, I managed to jury rig something with 2 rubber bands - thank god I didn't leave one seemingly useless peripheral behind.




As of this post, I will be using Dutch time for my posts - 7 hours behind Singapore (GMT +1 - Dutch time). I tried changing the timezone of the whole blog but that affects my old posts.
