Nothing in particular

Have been meaning to blog about my massive addiction on chinese trashy novels but as of yet, have neither time nor patience to compose anything. I've learned quite a few interesting things from months of voracious devouring of chinese trashy novels though.

1. I can read hokkien and 台灣國語 much better than I originally thought. Sentences like 我粉喜歡你 actually do make sense to me. Ok I dont have any other more challenging examples at this moment coz I'm old and I'm getting senile but I'll post something up and link back the next time I find something worth putting up.

2. I've also learn about how the japanese 招財貓 came about. This is a long story and I'll post when I finally finish typing the whole story. In chinese of course...and perhaps with an english translation if I am feeling generous that day.

3. There is actually a more interesting way to say 我在拉肚子 and that is 我的屁股在吐 。So yeah....the next time hubbz is hogging the toilet, I can ask him.....你的屁股在吐嗎﹖

Help please!!!

Okie. Now that I've solved the problem of my browser sprouting chinese when its not supposed to...will someone tell me how to get the chinese I typed appearing as elligible chinese words instead of "?????"

ARGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!

A book about blogs

Was in kinokuniya over the weekend coz they had a 20% sale and found the above staring right back at me on the shelves.
Wahahahahahahahahaha...guess that really proves that blogging and all things related are the "IN" flavour of the month.

A book search on amazon.com turned up the following book description:

"Blog" is short for "Web log"-an online site with time-dated postings, maintained by one or more posters, that features links and commentary. But that is like saying a car is a means of transportation featuring four wheels. Millions are changing their habits when it comes to information acquisition, and the blogosphere has appeared so suddenly as to surprise even the most sophisticated of analysts. In Blog, best-selling author Hugh Hewitt helps you catch up with and get ahead of this phenomenon.

Up until now no influential blogger has written a definitive book about this phenomenon. Since Hugh Hewitt's blog site-HughHewitt-was launched in early 2002, more than 10 million people have visited this site. Why does this visitor traffic matter? People's attentions are up for grabs. If you depend upon the steady trust of others, suddenly you have an audience waiting to hear from you. The race is underway, though, to gain mindspace and to be part of the blogosphere readers' habits and to position yourself as well as your business or organization at the forefront of this information movement.

Sounds interesting? Think I'll park myself in kino over the next few weeks and read the book in greater detail. Thank god for speed reading skills and legs of steel.

Blogger.com has gone grober....

Nahhh Just kidding...

All I wanted to do is to be able to type chinese characters..
So I downloaded NJ Communicator.
This is what it did to blogger.com!!!! @)#&%(@#$

Update: Problem is now solved and the credit goes to wen. Thanks sweetie!! *muahz*

Self indulgence is good for you

Was just having a conversation with a friend about Kylie Minogue's breast cancer - about how breast cancer can strike you at any age and any time and that we really should be more proactive about getting ourselves checked out on a regular basis. She also made a comment about how most times, it?s our partners who discovered that we have got a lump that wasn?t there before. This reminded me of a story that I?ve heard a long time ago and it goes something like this .

There was a young woman who likes to pamper herself by going for regular body massages and spa treatments. One day, her regular masseur told her that she should get her breasts checked out because she felt a lump that wasn?t there before. She did and found out that she had early stage breast cancer.

Moral of the story is

If you don?t have a sex partner then self indulgence is good for you BUT

May the force be with you!

Went to the movie, we did.
The force was out in full swing yesterday night at Great World. The storm troopers, the jedi masters, Sith lords and even Lara Croft was there I think, with her funky short fur lined white cape. We joked about watching the movie in full costume but we didn�t actually do it. Guess the force wasn�t that strong in us afterall.
Lord brown was there though and the force is strong in that one. I thought I might have been mistaken when I spotted the blog master himself standing at the ticket counter with his award winning lightsaber but I wasn�t coz I read this this morning. WOW! I actually saw the great master himself in real life. How exciting is that!!!!!!!! Apparently I wasn't the only one to recognise the brown one that night. Maybe we should have a "Spot the brown one" contest. Like that "Where is Wally Wallace" game...50 points if you spot mrbrown somewhere in singapore, +10 points if you got to stand next to him, +30 points if you managed to take a picture of him and upload to the internet, +50 points if you can do it without the master knowing it, -1000 points if he caught you taking his picture and then there will a monthly tabulation and the blogger with the highest score gets to be browned for that month. Hahahaha I think I sound like a stalker. The brown one is still the master though. He watched the 7 plus show and got home in time to blog about it while I caught the later show, got home at 1 plus, woke up exhausted and can only secretly blog about it at work. Learn from the master, I must. Coincidentally, another friend bought the 11 plus tickets at the same theatre and after many smses to and fro, we concluded that the earlier the show, the more sideline entertainment there was. His show time had many people appearing in full gear and accessories. Mine had a handful with gear and/or accessories. Hers had nobody in gear or accessories and there were very minimal cheering and clapping.

Anyway, another discovery I made yesterday was a new use for my cameraphone. We had fun trying to capture images on the big screen with our cameraphone. Here�s a couple shots we got.


Got the pirated vcd feel or not? Hehehehe

New Camera

Am so excited that I am posting this as soon as I know.
You will be looking at the proud owner of a Canon Ixus 700 camera this weekend!
The camera is coming with a 256Mb card and the Canon 7-in-1 bag. No idea what the bag is but hopefully the goodies in it are good.
Will also be buying the all weather waterproof casing so that I can take my precious with me when I next go diving :)

Oh wow! Cant wait to get my hands on my new toy!
