Sunbath day: Guardian Moon

Conversation ensues within our family when we went for a late night bliss walk in the park nearby. Little William look at the moon over head and ask,

“Papa, why is the moon following us?”

Wife quickly answer, “Want to see whether William is going home.”

I pause a while and said, “The moon is protecting our journey home.”

"I, good boy." answer little Bill

This reminded me of what my parent told me when I was a little boy. The moon can cut your ear if you point at it. You must chant an apology. The journey got lighter back.

Video: Thought provoking facts, that we didn't care

How true are those facts on this video? I guess it doesn’t matter to most of us. We only got a hundred years or less to live, why bother with who win the next election, or any eternal question. (Video)

First class wall painting

By far the best graffiti I've come across. The best one I seen in Singapore was in Tampines’s drain, cannot come close to this. Singapore really must buck up if we want to create local talent. (Link)Via EnglishRussia

Ron 42 – Era of Dragon

All good things must come to an end. This great Manga spans 42 books, linked historical figures into a story of good twist. The last book, some parts of me are missing it. Never will one find a comic that touches Humanity with such profound plot. The best I ever read.

GPRS on laptop throughout Singapore at 20 dollars per month

M1 offers this subscription which wife enjoyed it very much. A GPRS modem let you access internet literally anywhere in Singapore. Configure-less and light, HuaWei Vodafone is a delightful addon to any mobile PC. Now I can blog (not work) in MRT from Raffles Place to Woodlands. Truly mobile.

Update: Paddy says,
For S$20 it is really worth for checking emails and some light surfing of the net with considerable okay speed.

Wireless@SG simply cannot make it even through it is free. Logging in is already an uphill task.

Thanks! Paddy.

My GPhone, Skype Phone, MSN Phone…

and my mobile digicamera Phone. Since I install Fring on it, I got messages left right center whenever there is a free WiFi present. I also dump all my MP3 files (Totally legal) into it and never missed my favorite songs again.

Nokia, please come out with a better headset leh! The connection to the phone sucks big time.

One thing about it, must we senselessly pursue the latest technology once it becomes available? I for one always choose the second best, wise on cent and senses.

The ads are gruesome, disgusting but damn effective. At least they got complained now. Meaning it has been notice. View it here or go to this site. Now you can only see it at night. Hope it don't causes any bad dream.

You think less people would smoke. I disagree.

Update: comment from RenHao, Thanks!
My parents, firm anti-smokers who usually try to reinforce the message by going 'see see... aiyoh so terrible' immediately said from the first time they viewed it that the make-up was so unbelievable.

Trackback: About that smoking ad....

NG80-2, germ feeds on crude fuel holds promise

China Scientist isolated enzyme of a special germ that consume crude fossil fuel. This may leads to research breakthrough on cleaning up our already polluted Mother – Earth. Quotes for China Daily,

"We identified the key enzyme that enables the bacterium to degrade long-chain alkanes, a chemical component of oil, to smaller molecules," said Wang Lei, a lead scientist of the research team at Nankai University.

"We also discovered a simple way to isolate the enzyme."

US Department of Energy data has shown that the microbial approach can improve oil extraction efficiency by 10 to 15 percent and sustain the development term of oil reserves by five to 10 years.

The big fat amphibian was discovered by an environmental group in Darwin. It weighs two pounds and packs a size of a football. Gee, it might be mistaken for a Pokemon if seen. Quotes for Discovery,

“It's huge, to put it mildly," he said. "The biggest toads are usually females but this one was a rampant male ... I would hate to meet his big sister.”

Which means its female counterpart is larger, like a basketball, maybe. (Link)
