Lyrics as follows

说了再建(HDB组屋)

限量的屋价格太贵了
清楚的国人买不起了
失业者在海边上睡觉了

想要房,房不掉泪在飘
你看看你看看不到
还假装自己很重要
解决问题你办不到

说了再建才发现
再也骗不了
国不能就这样
失去她的方向
错了还在说教
成绩却找不到
和外劳对调
你说好不好

说了再建才发现
再也骗不了
能不能就这样
保证薪水不掉
说要给我养老
公积金哪里找
再次投票
一份配套就到

你的笑 你的好
老百姓 一直在劳
我回首 忘不了你错的程度
薪水称第一
你不会良心睡不觉
相信国民们无力逃跑

3 Guys and Twilight Eclipse

twilight eclipse poster
I am a big fan of fantasy movie genres, especially those that involve non-human character, such as wizards, vampires and other mystic creature.

However, this twilight eclipse still fail to turn me on. I have watched the 1st episode and i did not had a particularly nice feeling towards it. A show for more kids and teenagers. And the 3rd episode verified my judgement.

And why the hell i watch this? Well, because of a swimming trip that was cancelled! Was planning to swim with 2 other guy friends, however, public swimming pools with slides and waves, closed on Monday~ And which we decided on this movie, because, one of my friends commented, Wolfs are cool.

Wolves are cool, i agree, but probably not in any episode of twilight.

It is freaking easy to know who the vampires are. Find the characters with the whitest face and wala.. u found the vampires..

And how to locate the wolves?
Find the characters who are tanned and never wear their top!
legend of the condor heroes shen diao xia nu

Watching this movie reminds me of the singapore drama series, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, shen diao xia nu, by Christopher Lee and Fann Wong.

Singaporean should have know about the story line as well. Especially the scenes on the left.

With tons of lovey dovey scenes and quarrels among the wolves and white rectangular face vampire (did not catch his name) on who to protect the

non-vampire female role (again i did not bother remembering her name), it somehow bored we 3 guys.

Other than a 2-3 jokes (yes, they are countable), there are no laughing moments or exciting scenes in the show.

If the fighting scene near the end is exciting, then Sex in The City is exciting as well!!

This is one of the boring films that i have watched years. Waste of my $7 weekday movie ticket. A donation to SPCA is definitely much worth it!!!

My First World Cup Match - Japan Vs Paraguary


It is not exactly the soccer match that most wanted to watch.

And it is not even the first match, but it was one of the most captivating match, which i feel was in the tournament, up to now.

There are a few misses by the japan team. If they manage to convert those chances, they will not even have to play extra time nor penalty kick.

One of the critical misses which i feel was from Tulio. If only his leg was a bit longer...

And again, another first, which is the first penalty kick match in the entire world cup.

The penalty begins with favor in the Japan team. With the goal keeper, Kawashima, jumping in the correct direction for the first 2 kicks.

After the missed (3rd) kick by komano, the goalkeeper seems extremely nervous! And it went downhill all from there!

One thing i don't get it, why the hell did he wanna try to ram the ball into the top area of the net?

See the miss here..



i have no idea why the video is in slow motion, but you can feel that the ball is travelling extremely fast.




And this guy, i don't think he gonna feel good returning to japan.

Kinda sad to see those teary face fan at the end of the match.

Anyway, great work japan. You all done well against a south american team.

Solution to Upgrading Your Trial World Of WarCraft - WOW Account



world of warcraft digital download from blizzard store

Well, world of warcraft has been around for the past few years and only recently, had i been persuaded by my friend to join the game.

I was given a free 10 day trial account to begin with and enjoy the experience of playing an online mmo game, and at the same time, hate the levelling.

WOW is a monthly subscription based game and of course, after my 10 day trial, my account was frozen and i had to pay to continue playing. And this is where the trouble started.

world of warcraft expired trial account

As shown above, it shows that my wow game trial has expired and i am required to upgrade in order to continue with the epic adventure.

The option to upgrade are
Direct Online Upgrade
In this option, i am given the option to upgrade immediately using credit card from american express, visa, mastercard and 1 more option which i forget.

Enter Key
This is valid only if you have an existing unused licence key, or you have one free key from your friends

Order a Boxed Copy
This is probably the method which that the longest period. You have to wait for the box to be shipped to you before you are able to use the CD key

Direct Online Upgrade Failure
From the blizzard forum, i understand that many people has problems doing a direct online upgrade as the system is unable to accept the credit card transaction even though all details are correct.

I am struck at this option for the past few days as i do not have time to visit a retail game shop. I even tried to get my friend to use his CC card to purchase, which failed too.

Solution to Solve Upgrading issue for trial wow game account

Well, it is a legal method, just that it require a longer route to getting your licence key. Instead of forcing the system to accept your credit card details in the account management page, try this gentler method.

1) Go to blizzard online store at http://us.blizzard.com/store/?rhtml=y (get the idea now?)

2) Look for the game "World of Warcraft" You do not need an expansion at this point of time.

world of warcraft digital download from blizzard store

3) Since you are already prepared to use your credit card to make online purchase, select digital download.

4) Checkout and enter the details needed. after which, a licence key will be given. Use that licence key to activate your trial account and upgrade your world of warcraft.

This will solve the issue of your not able to upgrade your trial account to a full WOW account.

Hope this helps the rest of the wow gamers in the world to activate their trial world of warcraft to a full account! :)

Aliens may exist but contact would hurt: Hawking

Came across this article in yahoo news and found it to be pretty interesting.

How will Stephen Hawking knows how the aliens will harm us. Well, he set an example of aliens arriving on earth akin to Columbus arriving in America, which harmed the native Americans.

Why cant it be the case of Raffles arriving in Singapore and making it even more prosperous? If they are really that advance, and are looking for planets to live in. Why not give the Antarctica to them in exchange for their technology.

Speeches from famous scientists about aliens are food for thought, but speeches from little children with vivid imagination about aliens are dismissed as rubbish. But if both are saying the same issue, is it rubbish or food for thoughts?



Read the article below:

LONDON (AFP) - – Aliens may exist but mankind should avoid contact with them as the consequences could be devastating, British scientist Stephen Hawking has warned.

"If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans," said the astrophysicist in a new television series, according to British media reports.

The programmes depict an imagined universe featuring alien life forms in huge spaceships on the hunt for resources after draining their own planet dry.

"Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonise whatever planets they can reach," warned Hawking.

The doomsday scenario is suggested in the series "Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking" on the Discovery Channel, which began airing in the United States on Sunday.

On the probability of alien life existing, he says: "To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational.

"The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like."

Glowing squid-like creatures, herds of herbivores that can hang onto a cliff face and bright yellow predators that kill their prey with stinging tails are among the creatures that stalk the scientist's fantastical cosmos.

Mankind has already made a number of attempts to contact extraterrestrial civilisations.

In 2008, American space agency NASA beamed the Beatles song "Across the Universe" into deep space to send a message of peace to any alien that happens to be in the region of Polaris -- also known as the North Star -- in 2439.

But the history of humanity's efforts to contact aliens stretches back some years.

The US probes Pioneer 10 and 11 were launched in 1972 and 1973 bearing plaques of a naked man and woman and symbols seeking to convey the positions of the Earth and the Sun.

Voyager 1 and 2, launched in 1977, each carry a gold-plated copper phonogram disk with recordings of sounds and images on Earth.

Ayumi Hamasaki M Live Convert Version

Had some free time today and browse youtube to look for the famous Taiwan version of susan boyle, who sang whitney's huston i will always love you.

That guy sang marvellously. If i had switched off my monitor and listen to only the speakers, i will mistake him for huston.

Happened to find my teenage' day idol and listen to her live concert.

One hell of an elaborate concert with amazing costumes and of course her voice!

Look at the costume in the youtube video below, ridiciously long piece of wedding gown!!

Well, probably she already retired by now~ no chance for me to go her live concert :(

Thaksin Urges Supporters to Join Anti-Govt Rally

This guy really finding trouble against his own country.

Well who don't? When your personal fortune are slashed from billions to millions. With millions confiscated by your country's govt.

If you are not aware, his assets are confiscated on a verdict on 26th Feb 2010






Below is the article as blog post title.

BANGKOK, THAILAND - Thailand's fugitive former premier Thaksin Shinawatra on Saturday used his Twitter page to call on his supporters to join a mass anti-government rally, after a court seized most of his fortune.

Thaksin's loyal "Red Shirts", so-called for the clothes they wear, will gather in Bangkok on March 14 to demand the return of the populist leader, who was ousted in a military coup in 2006, and that the government quit.

"I would like to urge those who love democracy, justice, equality, and those who think that I have been bullied without mercy and humanity, to join the rally," wrote Thaksin on Saturday.


Thailand's Supreme Court last month ordered the state seizure of most of Thaksin's 2.3-billion-dollar shares wealth that it ruled he accumulated illegally by abusing his power to benefit his telecoms firm.

He is currently living in Dubai to escape a two-year jail term from another corruption case. Several other graft charges are outstanding against him.

The Red Shirts say they expect up to 600,000 people to attend this month's rallies, with people starting to gather from around the country on March 12 before the main demonstration two days later.

Thai premier Abhisit Vejjajiva has said his trip to Australia would go ahead as planned on March 13-17 despite the rallies, but a slew of extra security measures are in place and he has said tougher laws may be invoked.

Thailand's pro- and anti-Thaksin camps have both conducted destabilizing street campaigns since the twice-elected tycoon was ousted, with some of the demonstrations turning violent.

Red Shirt riots in April derailed a major Asian summit and left two people dead.

Thailand's social rifts sharply divide its Thaksin-loving poorer communities, largely in the north and northeast rural regions, from those in the Bangkok-based elite amongst the military, palace and bureaucracy.

Insomnia - My New Best Friend

Recently, i got a new best friend. And she is called insomnia. From time to time, she pays me a visit, but within the last 2 days, she has been visiting me every night.

And always accompany me until 4am - 5+. Great friend ar?

Anyways, ginger beer might be the cause since i been drinking at least 1200ml of it for the past 2 days. Ginger is known to keep the mind alert. But does Ginger beer soft drink contains any real ginger at all?

To remove this best friend, i google for some tips for insomnia and it worked for me. Especially the part where i drink milk. Within 30 minutes of drinking, i kept yawning non stop.

Coupled with lavender essential oil, it is enough to give me the sleep which i desperately need!

Facebook Bejeweled Blitz Tips and Strategy for Using Boosts



bejeweled blitz tips for boosts case for easy high scores
With the updates to bejeweled blitz in January 2010, every facebook bejeweled blitz fanatic knows that popcap introduce 5 new boosts to enable us to increase our score.

But out of the 5 booster gems in the game, which are the ones that really help in increase our score?

Facebook Bejeweled Blitz Tips for Boosts
Out of my 5, my personal top favorite boosts are in this order.
Multipler, +5 seconds, Mystery Gem, Detonator and Scrambler

But, the first 3 are not already what i chose to spend m y coins on.
Most of the time, i will be purchasing, Multiplier Gem, Mystery Gem and Detonator (Combo 1)

Alternatively, if i feel that i am lucky enough or alert enough, i get Multiplier Gem, Mystery Gem and +5 seconds. (Combo 2)

Bejeweled blitz tips - Instant Multiplier (2x) at ZERO seconds


This is a 100% working method, only if you use combo 1, which happens to be my favorite. As mentioned in this bejeweled strategy guide, purchase Multiplier, mystery gem and detonator gem (Combo 1)

Before the start of the game, detonate the detonator and you have a great advantage into the game with 2x scores!

Great? Read on for even better news!

Why i choose Mystery Gem over +5 seconds or any other Boosts

Simple! Refer to the image below

bejeweled blitz tips for boosts case study 1

bejeweled blitz tips  for facebook to get high score using boosts

Notice the 2x and 3x advantage i have from the start of the game?

With mystery gem, i have a higher chance of getting my 3rd multiplier within the first 3 seconds of the game.

If the mystery gem, turns out to be a star, flame or rainbow gem, i have 80% chance of getting my 3rd multiplier within 1s into the game.

To get a multiplier gem, you need to destroy 12 gems or more in a single swap. A star gem clears more than 12 gems. a flame gem clears at least 9 gems. A hypercube averagely clears 8 gems or more.


That all for my bejeweled blitz strategy which i have been using since boosts were introduced into the game. Hope that the above bejeweled blitz tips help you to scale higher scores!

Once the cheats is enabled in the game, it shows a customized image and music instead of the typical popcap bejeweled game image.

And from here, directly modify your game score and the boosts and... WHOP! restart the game and see yourself at the top and amazing amount of boosts

And to continue playing the game, disable the cheats to allow the game to run normally

Everyone Knows About Second Hand Smoke - But Third Hand?

It is amazing how they managed to coin these terms.

First hand smoke - direct from the stick

Second Hand smoke - exhales from the smoker

And now a third hand smoke.. Will they invite a 4th hand smoke?

Read on

WASHINGTON (AFP) - – You know smoking is bad for you. You know inhaling someone else's smoke is bad for you. Now a US study says third-hand smoke -- tobacco residue clinging to surfaces -- is also bad for you.

When a cigarette burns, nicotine is released in the form of a vapor that collects and condenses on indoor surfaces such as walls, carpeting, drapes and furniture, where it can linger for months, said the study, which was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

"Our study shows that when this residual nicotine reacts with ambient nitrous acid it forms carcinogenic tobacco-specific nitrosamines, or TSNAs," said Hugo Destaillats, a corresponding author of the study.

"TSNAs are among the most broadly acting and potent carcinogens present in unburned tobacco and tobacco smoke," he said.

The most likely human exposure to TSNAs is through either inhalation of dust or the contact of skin with carpet or clothes -- making third-hand smoke particularly dangerous to infants and toddlers.

Opening a window or turning on a fan to air out a room while a cigarette burns does not eliminate the hazard of third-hand smoke. Smoking outdoors doesn't help much either.

"Smoking outside is better than smoking indoors but nicotine residues will stick to a smoker's skin and clothing," said Lara Gundel, a co-author of the study.

"Those residues follow a smoker back inside and get spread everywhere. The biggest risk is to young children," she said.

"Dermal uptake of the nicotine through a child's skin is likely to occur when the smoker returns and if nitrous acid is in the air, which it usually is, then TSNAs will be formed."

Substantial levels of TSNAs were also found in the truck of a heavy smoker, the study says, adding that most vehicle engines emit some nitrous acid that can infiltrate the passenger compartment of a vehicle.

Researchers from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory led the study, which they say is the first to quantify the reactions of third-hand smoke with nitrous acid.

Ris Low Educational Videos

This is an image, not a video file. Clicking on the play button repetitively will only give your finger cramps


The Ru Hua of Singapore.

Pretty desperate way to gain publicity i feel.

If she really wants to bump up her publicity, staying out of public eyes is one great way, instead of wearing a bigiki and a scientist robe that she is wearing to cover up whatever skin she had.

The caption at the page was pretty misleading, it should be "By Ris Low" and not "With Ris Low" And it was the "With" that caught me watch that video which was a big softener..

A warning though: Video for mature audience only. Although no human anatomy was part was, object references exist.

Safe XX with Ris Low

And the ending part of the video was completely redundant.

And as usual, she speaks as though something is still struck in her throat, muffled and i do not think that this is the mic's problem.

And certainly, I don't think this will be the last from her...
