Notice any Sign lately

How often have you seen a sign and not read its content. I know I have.

You just have to read this works

Listening to authority

You probably seen a lot of gags by "just for laugh", "candid camera" and of course home grown "Gotcha" and realised that people of authority (ie posing as cops) are able to make their victim commit crazy acts.

Well someone took the reality theme and made it into a crime. Strangely he went on a long spree and did many untold acts to teenagers

I read the news and was disgusted

I need a financial planner

Firstly, I would like to start by apologising to all my frens who were/are working as financial planners. I felt really bad for pushing you guys off, deleting your name from my phonebook and calling the police on you. I realised that times were bad a few years back and you all din have a choice but to take up that career path after uni. sorry once more

Now would you look upon years of friendship and advise to me on the confusing world of financial planning? I am so lost in just looking at it. There are tons of policies out there which takes forever to read. And I know I will never end up reading everything. Would put pen to paper the minute I saw the bottom line is over a million.

Its quite amusing that within just one investment company I gotten myself lost in the numerous schemes they offered.

I thought I saw Vernon

Well it wasnt him, but boy is the resemblance scary.

Yesterday as I was flipping thru the Life section of the Sunday Times, I saw a large photo of an avid book reader on Page 37.

I did a double take... well actually I just stare and stare. Cause the person in the article looks exactly like Vernon. (for those who dun know, that my fren eejean's hubby)

As I read thru, I checked carefully on the details. Well for one thing, his name and surname (just in case he has an older brother we din know about) din match. I thought for a while before continue reading and discover that he is about 40. Strangely he does not look that old and the real Vern doesnt look 30 as well.

Guess its their baby face. :)

18 Tricks to Teach Your Body

Here are some tricks which might help

1. If your throat tickles, scratch your ear!

When you were 9, playing your armpit was a cool trick. Now, as an adult, you can still appreciate a good body-based feat, but you're more discriminating. Take that tickle in your throat; it's not worth gagging over. Here's a better way to scratch your itch: "When the nerves in the ear are stimulated, it creates a reflex in the throat that can cause a muscle spasm," says Scott Schaffer, M.D., president of an ear, nose, and throat specialty center in Gibbsboro, New Jersey. "This spasm relieves the tickle."

Green man lights

This is one cool green man walking. Unfortunately its only available in Taiwan.

When its green, the green man becomes animated and will start to walk. As the time comes down, the man slowly breaks into a run.

Pretty neat i think

Spider catcher

Now ladies, how often do you run in fear of the 8 legged and demand your brother/father/husband/boyfriend/son to get rid of this for you?

Well now you can do so yourself. Provide you can be in the same room as one of them

Shotting off the locks

Remember seeing all those police and thief films where the bad guys (sometimes good guys too) easily broke a lock just by aiming a pistol at it.

Apparently its harder than you think.

Xbox marketing strategy

Xbox 36o which is recently launched in US actually cost more than its sells for. Apparently the parts alone exceed the retail value for it. Imagine if you include the other cost like assembly, packaging, R&D and so on, MS is making a lost just by selling this machines.

However, this clever trick of theirs by selling the hardware cheap and making a gain from the sales of games might just work. Whats use of a box if it does not play any games. Eventually, this might crush Sony and Nintendo if they do not have the financial capacity MS have.

If you realise, this is not the first time MS pull such a stunt. Remember IE? Its free too? Remember Netscape? Dont think anyone remembers them now.

Scrubs me

I would like to convert all my audience, (yes you sitting there with a coke) to be a bunch of scrubs fans.

I have been a long time fan of the simpsons. When Futurama was released, I went crazy for a good 5 seasons before they canned it. DAMN FOX!!!! For a good time after that, some episodes of the Simpsons make fun of Fox.

Anyhow, Scrubs is unique different from most sitcom. Its insanely funny yet at times you feel emotional for the characters (or in some case the patients)

Go watch it.

Billboard mistakes

For my advertising frens out there. (btw I love you guys)

These are a bunch of mistakes made in billboard. Like for example the one above, the girl is using her left hand to click on the shutter (which is on the right)

See you soon Yan

Yanyan left yesterday for Japan. Her company is sending her over there for training which would last a whole year.

At the airport to see her off were a bunch of friends who have been close to her for a long time. I was there along with Inky and NDR. We came to see her as well as let her know that we all care for her.

Somehow months of anticipation, weeks of expectation and days of packing could not have prepare her enough. She had said she wanted to leave, but at that moment she doesnt want to. Sadly after hugs and kisses, she gradually departed.

All the best yan!

Hope to see you soon.


1 year will fly by quickly.

Floating chair

Couple of days back, the paper reported that NTU is considering spending a fortune to get new chairs for the school. The chairs cost a bomb and are supposed to reduce the risk of backaches and other pains.

Well, spend more than that and it might get you a floating chair. Which allows you to hover above the ground the slide across your office.

Killer jap anime

While watching anime over the weekend, I remember that years back kids are getting seizure by watching them.

And this place further proves my point

Who wants to buy a kidney stone?

THE ACTOR who played Captain Kirk on the popular telly show Star Trek, William Shatner, has just passed a kidney stone and plans to flog it on eBay.

The actor says that the stone will become the “ultimate piece of Star Trek memorabilia” and he will flog it for charity.

The 74-year-old actor was taken from the set Boston Legal last month, suffering from what was initially reported to be chronic back pain, which turned out to be a kidney stone.

Captain Kirk has apparently been filling in as a lawyer between his dutys saving the universe thus proving the idea that good must entirely be balanced by evil.

But Shatner has since revealed he had a kidney stone, which he successfully passed after experiencing excruciating pain.

However, he might have a bit of problem making the sale through eBay. The outfit has strict rules about the sale of body parts, even for charity.

It a gem i tell you

Jasmine green tea

For the longest time ever, I cant stand the taste and smell of jasmine green tea. Its just horrible. I could not understand why there are so many people out there who love it. So much so at every big events I have attend, without a doubt I will find a can or packet of the green tea drink lying around.

I mean come on, it has the strong smell of jasmine. No offence but it reminds me of one horrible incident just after Deepavali where an Indian lady with Jasmine flowers bundle around her hair sat in front of me. For the entire journey the smell makes me nausea. Perhaps its just me but jasmine is one flower I will never buy for my loved ones. ICK

And then the story began. I gotten my current job thru a relaxing interview. I was quite thirty then and they offer me a packet of JGT. Since I knew I probably going to do plenty of talking, I aint keen to leave my throat dry before that. So I daringly picked up 1 pack and down it asap. It felt like some horrible drinking game from my past (without the alcohol of course). I made it thru the interview well and tada got my current job. (which I shld be working now and not typing this)


Anyhow, the last few days I was on board a ship. I din bring my bottle and was dying of thrist. Yes indeed surrounding me is all water, but trust me water around shipyard aint cool to drink. The ship crew bought a bunch of??? you guess it, its JGT. Horribly I downed the bottles. Perhaps I should have wise up after my 1st day but no.... I went on to drink 3 bottles for 3 consecutive days.

Oh the horror.

Strangely at my thirstiest moment, the JGT actually taste great. I had a total changed of mind. Maybe JGT aint that bad. However just yesterday I attend a meeting and was offered JGT. I took 1 pack and decide to enjoy it since I aint thirsty no more. After 1 long sip..... I stopped. The memories and horror returned.

I guess if I am dying and needs to drink it, I would. Otherwise I will avoid it like hell.

Luckily there is no mushroom drinks. eck

Cosplay anyone?

For those fans of cosplay, I am sad to say that when I see this video, I cant help but find it dumb.

Heated bra for cold offices

A leading lingerie company has joined Japan's fight against high fuel use, unveiling a heated bra for winter.

The fluffy creation contains special pads filled with an eco-friendly gel that can be easily heated in a microwave or with a hot water bottle.

Depressing nicks

I think when I said this, many of you would have agreed with me.

There are way too many depressing nicks on MSN these days. Just this morning as I looked upon my contact list, I saw 2 that literally shows a cry for help.

First a fren of mine who still pursuing his studies in a local uni. His countless change of nicks only further reflect his issues. For the past few months, I have been seeing "There must be a place in the world for me", "bury me at the bottom of the sea", "i must learned to stop crying".

The nicks goes on and on. Starting my day with a bitter taste on my tongue. I dread to see another depressing change of nick from him.

Why cant everyone gets a normal nick. Better yet a funny one like Inky does, or at least go for a neutral kind.

I aint blaming him/her/anyone for being depress and wanting to cry out for help. I am just ick that when someone is depress online, how can I stay happy.

Please get good nicks everyone

Daddy's kids

Moving Canvas

The idea was simple. Strapped a box loaded with a Mac mini, projector and a battery pack onto the side of a train. When it enters the dark tunnel, visual image will be projected onto the bare walls. Creating a world unlike our own, as if we are travelling thru the chocolate factory.





Of course, if a strange object as such is found on the side of the train. Bomb squad would be called in immediately.

480-Pound Woman Dies After Six Years On Couch

STUART, Fla. -- A 480-pound Martin County woman has died after emergency workers tried to remove her from the couch where she had remained for about six years.

Gayle Laverne Grinds, 40, died Wednesday, after a failed six-hour effort to dislodge her from the couch in her home. Workers say the home was filthy, and Grinds was too large to get up from the couch to even use the bathroom.

Everyone going inside the home had to wear protective gear. The stench was so powerful they had to blast in fresh air.

A preliminary autopsy on the the four-foot, ten-inch woman lists the cause of death as "morbid obesity." But officials want to know more about the circumstances inside the home.

Investigators say Grinds lived with a man named Herman Thomas, who says he tried to take care of her the best he could. He has told them he tried repeatedly to get her up, but simply couldn't. No charges have been filed, but officials are looking into negligence issues.

Emergency workers had to remove some sliding glass doors and lift the couch, with Grinds still on it, to a trailer behind a pickup truck. Removing her from the couch would be too painful, since her body was grafted to the fabric. After years of staying put, her skin had literally become one with the sofa and had to be surgically removed.

She died at Martin Memorial Hospital South, still attached to the couch.

Neighbors say they had no idea Grinds lived at the duplex, though they had seen Thomas and some children outside.

Idiot me

As I ponder to type something interesting onto this blank page, I laid my left hand gently on my head. Slowly as I brushed my rough dried hair, I knew I should have brushed my teeth first. After all, I argued that having just came back I wanted to laze in my room a little longer before retreating to clean up.

My left hand moved down to my forehead to scratch off the itch that was developing. I then rubbed my nose and recalled the conversation I had for a short while with my neighbour. We met below and gotten into the lift together. It was late but he brought his little dog out for a stroll. I always love that little creature. Its nice and friendly and never fail to give me a "hello" lick on my palm.

AND just then I recall that I forgot to wash my hands.

Chelsea suspicion

As I watched the replay of Liverpool recent Champion League match, I gotten a little suspicion on Chelsea lost to Real Betis. From what happen between the 2 matches, it resulted in the following

Liverpool	10
Chelsea	7
Real Betis	6
Anderlecht	0

Now had Chelsea won that match, the results will look like this

Liverpool	10
Chelsea	10
Real Betis	3
Anderlecht	0

Which means, both Chelsea and Liverpool automatically go on to the next round, even if they lost the next 2 matches. However, since chelsea "lost". Real Betis has a chance to win the next 2 games and so does Chelsea. That would end up as follows

Chelsea	13
Real Betis	12
Liverpool	10
Anderlecht	0

Well this is only provided that Liverpool lost the next 2 matches (which are happen to be against Real Betis and Chelsea). However, Real Betis now have some confident after beating the impossible Chelsea. This might change things.

As you can see I got a good feeling Chelsea lost on purpose.

Kungfu movie

Here I present 1 movie that make my jaw drop.

Oestrogen levels and beauty

Feminine beauty, the subject of philosophical and artistic musings for millennia, can be predicted by something as basic as hormones – in women, but not men. Researchers at the University of St Andrews in Fife, UK, have found that women’s facial attractiveness is directly related to their oestrogen levels.

Miriam Law Smith and colleagues photographed 59 women, aged between 18 and 25, every week for six weeks. On each occasion, they provided a urine sample for hormone analysis and gave information on where they were in their menstrual cycle. None of the women wore make-up, nor were they taking the contraceptive pill.

Options for man

A Dutch designer has created a wall of fake breasts to help male shoppers buy bras that fit their wives or girlfriends.

Wendy Rameckers works at the Piet Zwart Institute for Retail and Design in Rotterdam, reports Het Nieuwsblad.

"Most men have a selective memory," she explained. "They know all about their car, but never seem to know their wife's bra size.

"When trying to buy a sexy bra for their wife or girlfriend, usually they point to other women in the shop or, when asked about size, they say a 'handful'."

The wall consists of rows of silicon breasts in all sizes. By look and touch, male shoppers can work out the right size, she says.

Drinking birds

I have always been fascinated by the tiny drinking birds. Wish I have one of those too. Anyhow, these birds are huge and that somehow caught my attention.

Coffee Beer

Coffee-beer, a “fermented coffee beverage” that has been patented in every major market around the world by Nestac (part of the Nestle empire). The beverage is basically a super-caffeinated liquid that pours like a beer but smells like coffee. No alcohol included. To make it, coffee beans are roasted and the chemicals that contain the natural aroma are collected in a cryogenic condenser and then converted to coffee oil. The rest of the roast are ground into powder, mixed with yeast and sugar and fermented for 4 hours at 22 degrees Celsius. This way, the yeast still metabolises but doesn’t convert to alcohol. They then mix the oil in with the liquid and nitrogen and that is injected to make foam.

Now this is something I could get used to

Hemorrhoid Cryotherapy Device

Ermmm for those who have Hemorrhoid, this simple device will sooth your pain. Works by apply freezing temperatures directly to the inflamed tissue.

You store the device in your freezer until it becomes ice-cold. Then you apply some lube to the protruding part, and stick it in your butt.
