F480 PIM Sync Error

1 Comment

F480 Tocco Users may have met with the PIM Sync, Network Error on the F480. It will not allowed you to sync your F480 with the Outlook. Many of you must have tried all kind of settings but does not work. There is a solution to this but you need to delete all the items in your F480 to allow it to sync again. It seems to be stupid but that is the only way. Samsung Firmware Designer will need to look into this loop hole. Nokia will never have such a problem.

Guide to overcome PIM Sync Error
  • Go to Menu – Settings – Memory Settings – Memory Status
  • Delete all appointments in Calendar
  • Delete all Tasks 
  • Delete all Memo 

Samsung Firmware Designer need to help F480 Tocco users to overcome this by releasing a new Firmware for F480 or to update the PC Samsung PC Studio. This problem has been pending since late 2008 till now.

HDB Car Park Rates

Leave a comment

For short-term parking, motorists have to display parking coupons for coupon parking car parks or use cashcard to pay for the parking charges at automated car parks.

Coupon Parking Hours

The coupon parking hours are indicated on the signboard located at the entrance of each car park. The hours are generally from 7.00am to 10.30pm, and 24 hours if the car park has night parking facilities.

Where they have to be adjusted to meet the particular needs of specific car parks, the revised coupon parking hours are indicated on the signboard. In general, the parking charges in HDB car parks are 50 cents per half hour for car parks outside the restricted zone and $1 per half hour for car parks within the restricted zone before 5pm (parking lots in restricted zone are painted yellow for easy identification).

Night Parking Scheme

Car parks that allow night parking by visitors are identified by signboards bearing the parking times and charges. For easy identification, the signboards are lighted up after 7pm.

For night parking charges at night parking car parks, motorists who park between 10.30pm and 7.00am can pay the half hourly rate of $0.50 up to a maximum of $2 or a flat rate of $2.00 depending on their parking needs.

The things I want to do with my family!

Leave a comment
I and my Family have enjoyed ourselves at the last Family Day Celebrations. This year, I plan to join the HiPPO River Cruise together with my wife and 2 children. They love to sit on the boat and it will be a new experience for them to cruise the Singapore River. It is a good chance for the kids to know the heritage of the Singapore River. They will also be able to catch a good glimpse of the vibrant life of the waterfront. 

The DUCK & HiPPO Group has been in Singapore for a long time but we have never really tasted their tours but hear of good reviews from tourist. It will be a good chance to join their tours during the National Family Day Celebrations for free. Thanks for your generous contributions.

We have long wanted to join this tour but put if off due to tight time schedule. Most of the discounts are meant for tourist and not for Singaporean like us. It is a great opportunity the National Family Day is giving us for a chance to be a tourist for a day and enjoy the cruise with our Family.

Start planning for your own Family Day Out on 30 May 2009! Visit www.nfc.sg!
