Pre World Cup 2006 blog raed

All the Oscars Nomination is out, Bit Torrent is going to open their own store.

But nothing compare to this..... when you come back from party at 2am morning, wonder what is all that cheering you heard from above your HDB, ya! it all going to be worst than your neighbour playing mahjong all night.

The season is going to be here in June, where you deprived your sleep, leave your sweet, lovely wife (or is she?) sleeping alone and posion yourself with the cheap snack you get from 7-11.
It is now about 98 days away but I pray for it to be over soon, for I cannot appreciate a bunch of athletes chasing around a ball without a reason, even if it is a world event, and I am hopeless in the soccer's way.

Soccer fever are spreading in my office now, with every men's lunch chit chat topics to that guy you meet in the loo, is all about that ball with black spot, and yes I know, men usual topic is always about something between the leg.

But, this is the time you can really see people of different skin colour, speak different tongue hug and kiss each other, spend the night at each others house to cheer for the teams they had common affiliation, to see a group of people watch football matches is like a glimpse to world peace.

For this, I wish that this world event would last as long as it could have.

To build my knowledge I did some googling and found The official site for the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ Germany which have a count down timer to indicate the day to your doom, also for general information on world cup you can visit World Cup Info.

Do you have you own favourites footballer?
Why not visit Michael Owen and Edgar Davids very own blog on MSN space - Road to World Cup?

You will also find interesting read about soccer with the below blog:

Which I know nuts about, but is going to read anyway.

Blog read: Intellectual Property is pony

I always think that the idea of Intellectual Property was not very well brought across to the general public, I mean, how do claim that ideas was yours? like what you have is unique and cannot be copy.
Maybe the Chinese people can start sueing the European for copyrights issue regarding who invented the bomb? and the native Indian can claim their "copyrights" to America lands, so on and so forth.....

Intellectual Property are not easily define, not you say so means it is so..

Dan Brown - There is no new idea under the sun

For those who are interested, the author of Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown is being sued for 'stealing' ideas from an old novel, The Holy blood and the Holy Grail.
IMHO, some 'major' power don't like either him or his book, or both, so...
They get him! this had been the way of the world, always!

But, This would only make more people read his book, as with all controversial issue.

Origami Air Superiority in you hand

One of my friend have show me a 5 piece makeup of the most powderful jet fighter - F35 in Origami style.
This is child's play, I said to myself. But I am still fascinated by having a jet that is few times more powerful than F-15E in my hand. Watch out! Singapore.

Initially it is not easy to fold this aircraft, it end up with something 三不像, now he had four F35 in his cabinet waiting for launch.

Rel Info:
I also heard that the next Aerospace exhibition may not come to Singapore anymore, because..... She is going to have her own - Singapore Aerospace exhibition.

Browser choice of the month - Opera

Although I am not 100% sure and dare not claim strongly, I pretty much can say that more than 80% of Singapore Internet user uses IE, good for you, Microsoft.
There are also some in Singapore who is using FireFox, etc.
But, I think not much have heard of Opera, cliam to be the faster Browser on Earth.

Other that the High speed that it claim, 2 features that will certainly make me download and test it out:

1. Integrated Search
2. Opera is also the First Web browser to natively support Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)

Internet is moving so fast, faster than I can say "lets Opera!"

This is a massager, not a virbrator, that has a tortoise design, power by merely a USB plug-in.
I saw this in one of the PC magazine, but could not find it any where on the web or any PC store I came across in Singapore, If anyone see this please kindly tip me, or drop a message here.

I heard although it is quite small, but it is powerful enough to do the job well. The Mag told me.
