But not without warning, she seem to be sick for the past mth or so. All sneezing and coughing. Making all the &quot;slurring&quot; sounds. I feel sad. After all she has accompanied me for past 5 years, through the late nitez, early days, weepy dramas, tough assignments, tight projects, happy comedies, flashy webbys, gossipy msn, never ending OS updates, complex dual boot, additive games, wacky varieties shows and so on. Without you, I may have never grad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Early last year she was already ill. But I swap out her brains for a new one. Re-input her memories of our happier times. And viola. The great dame is back. This time it seem she nose is a little choked. Well I can still remove her brains again. Then at least I will still have the memories all intact. It has been a good 5 years. I don&#39;t think I will sent her for any op to awaken her again. Do not want to prolong her suffering again. At the current speed that she runs it is tough for her to catch up with the other younger, slimmer and faster gals out there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May you RIP.

Not forgeting the SD card slot. Bringing gaming to a new level. It will retail at ¥18,900 (US $180) from Nov 1 in japan in white or black. Other countries? Spring 09. Also boosting a larger screen of 3.25” from 3”and a slightly longer stulys at 92mm from 87.5mm . With this the DSi is 4 mm wider and 1 mm longer than the DS Lite. Packed with a build in audio player/editor, photo taking/editor, wifi web browser with a shopping options and the usual Pichat but at 4 grams lighter. The DSi also went on a diet and managed to trim off 3 mm, from 21.9 mm to now 18.9 mm thick, compared to the DS about 12% thinner. With a slightly faster battery charging time of 2.5 hrs from 3 hrs but a huge drop in usage time of 8-12hrs compared to DS Lite&#39;s 10-15hrs @ low brightness. The new DSi has 5 levels of brightness setting. Oh it is still dual screen but only one is touch.

But during my days of slogging over the books. A cup from Campos will really brighten up your day... I felt that the cuppa at times could really calm me down. The location was also great just beside my hostel. The place with the old wooden chairs... the stained glass... the smell no no the aroma... closing mine eyes I can still feel it. I really need it man. Till that year 04 I was still more of a tea drinker. Now I still am a tea person. But if that was ever a choice. No doubts Campos will be it. Be it a Flat White or Mocha.

But you can never be sure, cause the next movie by Pixar will be Up then Newt. Two totally new movies. One about the relationship between the different age gaps of the different generations. The other about what if you (not human in this case, but a blue foot newt) are the last two of you kind on earth? You will need to mate to continue your kind. After this two new ideas. Pixar or rather Disney/Pixar will be going for sequels. First up Toy Story 1 and 2 in 3D. Then Toy Story 2. After that Cars 2. And rumors that Monsters Inc 2 is also on the boards. Oh... Will have to wait and see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh. When I went to buy the ticket for the movie, the counter staff went like &quot;Ok how about 7 rows from the front in the middle.&quot; Of I said OK. Then as I used a voucher, the counter had to copy down some details which took a little while. Then when he can back, he said two tickets? I went like no. One. And he re-suggested three rows from the back at the corner!!! WHAT?! Where is the 7 rows from the front in the middle? I demand for that seat. He then gave me a weird look before going &quot; If you want it. Ok.&quot; Why why issit a crime to watch a movie alone? Why after so many times the counter staff always gives a weird look at me? After a while you really get use to it. That is till things like this happen!

Oh! Where is the sun? Oh how I miss you. I want to &quot;bake&quot; myself. Don&#39;t a sun kissed bod look great? Ok ok... Not the burnt look. But the golden brown kind. Doesn&#39;t it radiate a healthy glow? It makes a good-looking person even more appealing so much more attractive. Mmm... I may be going a be over here but for &quot;slim&quot; people like me to have a light brown skin is way way better than have pale white skin. Cause it turn it will make me look sickly. I may not be a tanaholic (yet.) But at times it really gives me the relax feeling. It seems that I am not alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With studies, dermatologists have found out that, tanning makes the skin give off endorphins. Which are chemicals released from the brain, that produce euphoric like feeling in the body. Endorphins are often referred to as our bodies natural morphine, reducing the pain we usually feel. These compounds make a person feel good on a &quot;high&quot; feeling. They are the also the reason endurance runners report of a &quot;runner&#39;s high.&quot; So could there really be such a thing as tanner&#39;s high?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So when issit that tanning can become and addiction? It seems that if you tan about 8 to 15 times a month and do it between 10am till 4pm then you may be hooked on tanning! Or as the people out there call it, &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Tanorexia&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span class=&quot;no_embedded_link&quot;&gt;Thank god! During those times I am usually working so not time to tan. Even if I am free I usually find that it is too hot during those times. And I usually only &quot;purposely&quot; go and tan about once a month. So I am long way off from being an addict. Yes, UV rays may give you vitamin D&lt;/span&gt;. But there is a limit to everything. Studies have shown that about 10 mins of sunlight per day could reduce the chances of get cardiology illness. Of course I know it can lead to the big &quot;C&quot;. Well maybe I should start using spray on tans and bronzing cosmetics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a lighter note, was driving today nearly had an accident with a SHOPPING CART. Yes, a cart. It was pushed by this aunt, who rammed it so fast in a near head on collision with the car. There I was just stopping there by the zebra crossing waiting for people to cross. And there she came off the crossing onto the road and was trying to to push her cart between the car and the wall. The space is really not enough for both car and cart. In the end I had to reverse to let her have her way. (In case I have to answer for any scratches on the car.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the last note I am in love with Moonlight&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;l&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Resonance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://treelo.blogspot.com/feeds/8095756170336072916/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/9608966/8095756170336072916' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9608966/posts/default/8095756170336072916'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9608966/posts/default/8095756170336072916'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://treelo.blogspot.com/2008/08/blog-post.html' title='晴天和尚'/><author><name>treelo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17685004329359346967</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9608966.post-3108063567729970948</id><published>2008-08-21T23:41:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2008-08-21T23:43:26.845+08:00</updated><title type='text'>MIC, MIM, MIS</title><content type='html'>Whos&#39; better?

Of course a medal would have been great after such a long time. But the with all the pressure build up we should understand. With our tiny island and small population (comparing to other much bigger countries) As long as she have given all that she has, I truly felt that she has done well. With our Sports School up that will come a day where we can do it. Really. On our own. Next up for us is the inaugural Youth Olympic Games in 2010. But just before that to sort of test the system or a practice session is the Asian Youth Games in 2009, which will be between July 2 - 10. The &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_1&quot;&gt;YOG&lt;/span&gt; will have about 26 sports and 3,600 athletes, while the &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_2&quot;&gt;AYG&lt;/span&gt; will have about 1,000 athletes between the ages of 14 - 18. For those that may not be, so what should we say, sporty may try for the &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_3&quot;&gt;YOG&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.singapore2010.sg/logo/&quot;&gt;logo competition. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now for 4&lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_4&quot;&gt;th&lt;/span&gt;. Yes! &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_5&quot;&gt;UNSW&lt;/span&gt; Asia left? Never mind. We can have our own.

Yes. It is finally here. I will be skipping my session to watch the opening of the Games. Hope it will not be a wasted effort. I did have a sneak peak thanks to youtube and SBS as previous post. Oh yes. Also on 08/08/08 we will be having a special toto draw. And the prize money? You guess it! A cool 8 million. Wah! Wonder who will be the lucky one or ones. Do wish me luck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the mail today I received the IKEA 2009 catalogue. This serves to remind me that more the half the year has passed. This is the 11th edition that I have.(I sort of have collected all the catalogue since 1998. Just some useless crazy hobby of mine.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the world of DS, the cool people at Nintendo seem to have gotten to the max on R4. They have together with the games developing powerhouses like SNK, Capcom, Square Enix, Tecmo, Capcom, Namco Bandai, SEGA, Altus and &lt;/span&gt;46 others&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;  launched a lawsuit in Tokyo District Court, Japan against R4. Well R4 is a device that allows for one to play games that are not from the actual source. R4 and others like it have been around for quite some time. In other news, after food, yoga, balancing, guitar etc with the DS. Whats next? Sega has teamed up with Japanese cosmetics maker Shiseido to develop &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com.sg/search?hl=en&amp;amp;q=Shiseido+ds&amp;amp;btnG=Google+Search&amp;amp;meta=&quot;&gt;Project Beauty&lt;/a&gt;, a DS beauty consultant. Seems that is will be priced at about 6,090 yen. What can the japanese think of next to be on the DS? keep you fingers crossed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Random Musing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seems the brown cat could not do it again. What a loser. Could not ask again. Never?

But seems that things are not all that rosy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Firstly the pre Olympic problems that caused some problems with the route and along the route of the flame. Then the air quality of the skies of Beijing having reached unacceptable standards. Recently some freedom of press issues. Followed by the &lt;/span&gt;changes in visa rules&lt;span&gt;. Also the alge boom and the&lt;/span&gt; locust problem. &lt;span&gt;And now a video of the top secret opening ceremony by the famous director Zhang Yimou has leaked out. The clip filmed from the Bird&#39;s Nest by a S Korean station SBS, leaked out images of the closely guarded show. The clip of about 2 min is quite an eye-opener. Imagine all those &lt;/span&gt;15,000 &lt;span&gt;performers never breath a word to a soul till SBS manage to film the &lt;/span&gt;controversial report.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We should maybe give China a break. After winning the rights to host the Games on 13 July 2001, they have bee trying quite hard to host a good game. Build stadiums, buildings, theater airport, train routes, roads. Trying to clear the air, helping the residents of Beijing to lose some of their bad habits. Well I really do hope that they can deliver a good game from Aug 8 till Aug 24.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some tech news...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watch out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/&quot;&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt;, here comes &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Wikia&quot;&gt;Wikia&lt;/a&gt; from the people who brought us &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wikipedia.org/&quot;&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;.

But is based on a freely-licensed open source, where users can enter to change anything. Thus allowing you to add a webby to the search results if you think that it is relevant. Seems that you can tamper with it to promote (spam style) your own goods. but the friendly people at Wiki are working on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next up is &lt;a href=&quot;www.cuil.com&quot;&gt;cuil&lt;/a&gt; which was launched early this week. They claims &quot;Cuil searches more pages on the Web than anyone else—three times as many as Google and ten times as many as Microsoft.&quot; With a small team of 30 people not bad rite. The founders are a group of ex-Google employees who promises that they will not keep any data about you. No name, No IP, No cookies. No search history stored/kept. They believe that analyzing the Web rather than the users or superficial popularity metrics. (Ohh... Touchy.) BTW in case you were wondering Cuil is an old Irish word for knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I close this post let me say a big THANKS to the people in white. (Mmm... Ok maybe they come in many colours now.

During the weekend watched &quot;The Dark Knight&quot;. It is quite good I would say. But a tad too long. The director &lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;main&quot;&gt;Christopher Nolan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   did quite a good job, I must say. Both Batman Begins and the current are great movies. After I googled him then did I realise that he also directed Insomnia and Memento, both movies which I also like truly. (If you have not watched the movie you may not want to continue reading.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of the characters main cast played their character quite well. Other than Heath Ledger great performance as Joker. (Mmm... A really dark portray of Joker. A Oscar worth performance?) Morgan Freeman (as Lucius) , Gary Oldman ( as Lt. James), Michael Caine ( as Alfred) , Aaron Eckhart (as Harvey/Two-Face) and of course Michael Caine ( as Bruce/Batman). All which I think did a great job in fleshing out their roles. Erm but personally did not quite like Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel. Felt that it lacked something. But could not really pinpoint down what that is. Oh there is a actor from our shores, that is  Chin Han who plays the role Lau the Hong Kong the businessman who help the mafia to &quot;account&quot; for their money. Still not sure who? The one who appears in a telly in the movie to have a teleconference with the mafia in the kitchen of some sort and Joker appears starts to chat with them and makes a pen &quot;disappear&quot;. Well he appears for quite a few scenes you can&#39;t quite miss him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that could not be said for the other guy who was in a &quot;photo&quot; scandal. The quite well-known &lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Edison Chen. If you blink you are sure (guarantee plus chop with 5 year warranty) to miss him. So much about the role. I thought he was playing a &quot;real&quot; role in movie when he left HK to start afresh in Hollywood. Anyone could have done it. It is not even on the screen for more then what like 3 secs. So did you catch him in the movie? Still drawing a blank... Why? Cause the role he played does not even register in your mind. Ok let you in on it. He is the one who meets &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Morgan Freeman on the tarmac (this is a really far shot) and  then the next scene is when he tell Morgan that the building has a no phone policy and he has to surrender his phone. It is like super short. You could not quite get him face before it is gone. I think even the security guards of Lau&#39; building got more screen time. I must add that I am not sure if any have been edited out during the post production of the movie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to end off with I truly enjoyed the movie worth the ticket price in and at least a 4/5. To me the best part of the movie was the two ferry part. Great storyline showing hoe crazy the Joker was. Oh wonder will there be a third? What villains?

That links &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_0&quot;&gt;Harbourfront&lt;/span&gt; on the way to West Coast Park. Well I can only say it is not linked. After you link to Science Park, you are no longer in any parks. Through NUS and Science Park, you must hike yourself with no instructions. If that is the case I felt that the papers should not have reported to make it sound like the whole stretch is all linked.  &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_1&quot;&gt;Ok&lt;/span&gt; ... More on the good side now. The  &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_2&quot;&gt;Harbourfront&lt;/span&gt; to &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_3&quot;&gt;HortPark&lt;/span&gt; was quite nice. Quite scenic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_4&quot;&gt;Marang&lt;/span&gt; Trail was a little on the steep side. But &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_5&quot;&gt;NParks&lt;/span&gt; have made at some parts a steeper and a less steep paths which is good. At to top of Mt Faber, you can see over the whole of &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_6&quot;&gt;HarbourFront&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_7&quot;&gt;Sentosa&lt;/span&gt;. Now comes the wee bit difficult part. As some parts of the Faber Walk is not marked, You need a little luck plus good eyes to spot the very temporary black signs that &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_8&quot;&gt;NParks&lt;/span&gt; have put up to direct you to the Henderson Waves, which is 36m above sea level. There from our island highest pedestrian bridge you can see good views of the city and the southern islands. The bridge design is also quite unique. Then you will reach the Hill Top walk, again signage is a problem. Following that is the steel 1.3km elevated walk. Or you can choose to walk the Earth trail. This part is also not too bad. Slower you pace and enjoy the views. Breath in the fresh air. Finally crossing the Alex Arch will bring you to &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_9&quot;&gt;HortPark&lt;/span&gt;. At &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_10&quot;&gt;HortPark&lt;/span&gt; you can see much landscaped garden, edutainment, book a function room and also a &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_11&quot;&gt;thai&lt;/span&gt; restaurant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall the park links is quite nice. Bring you into part you never knew (still)  existed. But the signage is a problem. And also I feel that for some parts of the walk for example the Forest and the Hilltop Walks, we may have to give the trees a little more time to recover from the damage that the sustained during the &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_12&quot;&gt;building&lt;/span&gt; of the walks. I am sure give a few years, with much care given and us give less abuse to nature. They will &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_13&quot;&gt;recover&lt;/span&gt; well enough and then the ridges walk will be an even better walk to go to, to bring &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_14&quot;&gt;oneself&lt;/span&gt; closer to nature. To be one with nature.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://treelo.blogspot.com/feeds/5070443531689574294/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/9608966/5070443531689574294' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9608966/posts/default/5070443531689574294'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9608966/posts/default/5070443531689574294'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://treelo.blogspot.com/2008/07/at-one-with-nature.html' title='At one with Nature'/><author><name>treelo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17685004329359346967</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9608966.post-5057348608398012692</id><published>2008-07-14T22:16:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-07-14T22:31:53.057+08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Great Search is On...</title><content type='html'>Yes...

Then I saw this toothpaste on offer. It was $2 off the usual price. As you people should have known when I do grocery shopping I try and try my best to only buy things that are on offer. Else not I will whip out mine handy handphone calculator to make sure I am getting the best offer. Yah I know very &quot;uncle&quot;. I have gotten into this habit while I was studying in Aust. And as a student money matters. Every single cent counts. At times the different packaging could be misleading, causing one to think that he is making a saving but not so. At time buying in bulk may seem cheaper but not always. So always depend on the trusty app in the handphone called the calculator. Oh technology! How can i do without you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway back to the toothpaste stuff. I then calculated ensuring that is was a good deal. When I paid then I realise that the offer price was only for &quot;members&quot;. Shit. Ok it was not that expansive. But felt so cheated. Went back to look at the self. Then did I realise that I could not blame the shop. They did put up a notice just that it was a little small. Not to mention folded, behind the HUGE offer word. What to do could only say I was at fault I did not read the fine print...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Random Musing:&lt;br /&gt;Twist and turns the plot thickens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://treelo.blogspot.com/feeds/2075913017662285986/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/9608966/2075913017662285986' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9608966/posts/default/2075913017662285986'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9608966/posts/default/2075913017662285986'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://treelo.blogspot.com/2008/07/read-fine-print.html' title='Read the fine print.'/><author><name>treelo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17685004329359346967</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9608966.post-8961847608335506095</id><published>2008-07-01T22:11:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-07-01T22:37:14.133+08:00</updated><title type='text'>STCC &#39;08</title><content type='html'>Last weekend I went with some friends to STCC &#39;08. Wah! It was super packed. I really do mean super packed. On the first day of the convention which was like in hall 603 we queued till hall 601. The people who went there like 8 plus for the event that only starts at 11am. All for a limited  edition be@rbrick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well other then the crowd the fair was not too bad. Nice cosplay people appeared. Like those from Legion 501 of Star Wars,  games and some other Jap comics like naruto, bleach and D.Grayman. Some I must say were not that good. Other really take u aback with the details in the costume that they are wearing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even with the huge black wings that one of the cosplay man was doning on, it cannot beat other in countries in japan or even tawain. But who am I to judge? I for one do not cosplay, (dou I hope to). Second I have never been to japan to see their cosplay. But I would say give us a chance. Cause anyway this year was the first. And it was a little small scale compared to those in other countries. The gounds outside the fair was not big enough for the cosplay people to mingle. For toki doki no space to be snappy frantic. Too small a space. Fans was too happy to see the graphic artists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Really...overall only the crowd control was a tad not good or maybe I should say bad. Else all was good to go. Coming again next year? Well we will have to wait and see. I may just be a tag too old.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://treelo.blogspot.com/feeds/8961847608335506095/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/9608966/8961847608335506095' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9608966/posts/default/8961847608335506095'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9608966/posts/default/8961847608335506095'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://treelo.blogspot.com/2008/07/stcc-08.html' title='STCC &#39;08'/><author><name>treelo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17685004329359346967</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9608966.post-3254179128799011564</id><published>2008-06-20T23:30:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-06-21T01:21:14.983+08:00</updated><title type='text'>6541</title><content type='html'>Today was a day of much interest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After my jog, as I went into the gents I saw this guy, not too bad looking, doing up his hair with the orange Gatsby hair wax. Nothing much rite... I went along mine usually routine. After 15 plus mins I was about to leave the place he was still standing there by the sink facing the big mirror still styling his hair with the hair wax. He also applied OXY pimple cover and had this mid sized handheld oval mirror to reflect his reflection onto the big mirror. Supposing so that he will be able to see all round his head making sure each and every strand of hair is in perfect position. Real metrosexual, with the light brown burms, red tight fit top, green havaianas and lightly tanned skin. He look not a day past 18. Oh BTW I did I fail to mention that the tight top is from NUM with the words &quot;Everyone like a Asian guy. 6541 &quot;. Well you know what I mean. Seems they are now everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not to get the wrong idea I do look at both side of the coin. Which leads to the next part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was waiting for the train back when I saw this couple walking by the platform. They stopped just beside me, therefore I could hear them chatting about some history stuff. It seem that they have just studied as some place and was heading home. I could see that they are attached cause the guy placed his hands on her shoulder and hers was just lightly touching his waist. Anyway the train came. And they said the goodbyes and a little peck on the forehead. Then she boarded the train so did I. Then the doors closed and rolled out of the station. She then whipped out her handphone can called someone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then she said in a very sweet voice: &quot;Hello. Ya left him already. What are u doing. Ya just finished the study. He told me everything about the history. I no need to read the whole thick book. He say Kung Fu Panda very funny. We should watch it soon. What did u eat. We ate pepper lunch express. Not very nice. That time we go the Pepper Lunch better. Your book read finished already. So fast. Knew it. Ya the paper on Mon. Sun cannot go out. Sat still can go with you.&quot; and much more mushy, &quot;roma&quot; stuff in a very very &quot;teh&quot; voice that I could no longer remember. I was like erm... didn&#39;t she just left her bf? This went on for like 3 stations. At first when she whip out her hp to call, I was still thinking so &quot;loving&quot; just part must call already. How wrong can I be ?!?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then came the announcement that went something like this &quot;This train will be moving to the middle track soon. For your own safety please hold onto hand grips or grab poles.&quot; Then the train sway a little left and right. Everyone on the train also went a little swaying. Then her went like &quot; The train shaking left and right. I have moving like that too.&quot; In a super high pitched voice.  Super grossed out. Well I do not know who is on the other side of the line. Only she knows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh on the movie that the guy mentioned Kung Fu Panda. It is really not too bad quite funny. With all the pun of chinese kung fu. The Tiger Crane Double Style, Mantis Style etc we so often see in chinese kung fu shows. A little short but still ok as a weekday movie. All the pigs, ducks and rabbits are extras in the movie. Also watch out for the spoof of Yoda of Star Wars fame. OH ya to those who have yet to watch. Remember to stay for the end of the credits...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Random Musing:&lt;br /&gt;The brown cat lured by the red herring.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://treelo.blogspot.com/feeds/3254179128799011564/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/9608966/3254179128799011564' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9608966/posts/default/3254179128799011564'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9608966/posts/default/3254179128799011564'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://treelo.blogspot.com/2008/06/6541.html' title='6541'/><author><name>treelo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17685004329359346967</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9608966.post-8306408309570127583</id><published>2008-06-17T23:39:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-06-18T00:10:09.346+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Input = Output ?</title><content type='html'>The effort put in at times may not be that what you get out of it. Well not always that case that is. I must say at times you may get more. But by far thats is always not the case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway on a lighter note FF3 is here! Yah. No no not the game. The web browser. FireFox 3. In other IT news. Yahoo has dump Microsoft for good. Last week talks fell out again. Stating reasons that Microsoft is only interested in its search. After that Yahoo went into a deal with, no prizes for the correct guess, Google. Wii out sells PS3 and 360 again. In may they sold 675,000 ,  209,000 and 187,000 respectively in the US according to market research firm NPD.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://treelo.blogspot.com/feeds/8306408309570127583/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/9608966/8306408309570127583' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9608966/posts/default/8306408309570127583'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9608966/posts/default/8306408309570127583'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://treelo.blogspot.com/2008/06/input-output.html' title='Input = Output ?'/><author><name>treelo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17685004329359346967</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
