High Tea @ Arteastiq


The long weekend last week, I went for high tea with the girls :) 

Arteastiq @ Mandarin Gallery




The high tea set for 2 cost $48++ and comes with 2 drinks and a tower of snacks. 





The ice cream tea wasn't as nice as the original tea :(


This place didn't fare as well as the other high tea places I have been to.

I recently picked up some simple culinary skills to curb my nonsense cravings. Maybe I'll share the pics some day.

Windows 7 cannot download exe files or install applications!

I'm currently using a 13 inch netbook from ASUS and surprisingly, this lightweight baby can do many amazing things like run adobe photoshop. I'm really glad that I bought this tiny machine for my daily simple computer usage e.g. watch videos, backup iphone, transfer photos and surf the net.

The only application I couldn't run on this machine was probably photoscape, but that's fine not to use.

Several months back I had issues installing online video streaming programs but I just left that at the back of my mind and skipped watching them. I've been researching on this problem on and off through this week, and I got on to try the solutions yesterday.

There are so many online guides that state about changing registry, but please don't do that until you have tried the following simpler methods that worked for me.

1) update windows security patches.
2) delete and download again the latest browser version
3) remove firewall and security settings
4) it may be an issue of the corrupted file on the server provided by the source. So try downloading something else e.g. chrome exe file.
