The past two days my schedule has been filled with interviews and info sessions. Haven't heard back from then yet, but it's almost as expected at this point. It's been a dry couple of days lately with oven-baking heat waves the moment you step out of the car or open a door. Today I picked up my stranded carless-for-a-day friend and went for some slow service, no choices, loud noise, dim sum. I don't remember when the last time I went to New Capital in SG for dim sum was, but it sucked today. I got around to ordering 6 dishes in 1 1/2 hours! That's 2 dishes every 30 minutes. Then upon leaving we get charged a "tea setting fee". What the heck is a tea setting fee? We didn't even have tea brought out to us. Just cups of ice tap water.

Anyhow, I got the Android phone/T-mobile G1/gPhone/iPhone killer/google phone/HTC Dream yesterday. Technically I got it prior, but it was "lost in the mail" ... First impression is that it's a good phone. Nice alternative to the iPhone. Easy to learn and use but takes a while to get used to finding all the hidden menus. Everything is a press-n-hold and hope for the best situation. So far one thing that bugs me is that I can't access my SIM card messages. When I looked for my contacts list I realized it was missing. This would be another gripe that I'd have against the phone but I found the option to import SIM card contacts...AFTER manually inputting each contact into Gmail. At first I didn't like how the phone syncs, but I guess it's rather convenient when you're also typing in addresses to places and misc. info. The coolest feature yet has to be the Android Market where I've found a couple barcode scanning programs. These programs use the G1's camera to "scan" in barcodes of almost any item and it'll give item descriptions, reviews, and where to purchase the item for the lowest cost. Neato! Now the only thing I have to figure out is whether or not 400 txt msgs is enough on the plan because each email that gets sent over counts as a text.
