Cam sold. Waiting for COMEX 2006
Met the ebay buyer this afternoon at Orchard and sold my Sony Cybershot DSC-T5. Now I've no suitable camera to use except the 2MP cam from my Eten M6oo Pocket PC phone. Can't wait for COMEX 2006 which is from 31st Aug to 3rd Sept. I'm gonna upgrade to Sony Cybershot DSC-T30. Maybe getting a digital SLR in the near future to fuel my photography needs.

Public Apology? I agree.
Recently there has been couple of student-teacher-principal-parent related issues surfacing. Just today, the "Odd Punishment" published in the NewPaper re a teacher demanding a public apology from a 16 year old after this chap hurl vulgarities at the teacher. Reason? The teacher sort of suspend the student for a day due to him being a frequent latecomer. If thats the rule of the school, then it should be followed. The teacher done no wrong at this instance.
Instead of accepting his punishment to be suspended for a day (come on, its just a day!) this chap cleared his smart-ass throat by hurling vulgarities at his female teacher. Any vulgarities against a female subject shoule be taken a face value. I remembered an incident some time back previously when some guy openly verbal abuse a lady and apparently words like whore, or something like that was targetted at this lady. Result - that guy was punished by the law. To me, what this student did was considered verbal abuse and possible defamation. If the vulgarities used lower the teachers and are read/perceive by third parties (the class for eg.) issues for defamation can arise. Therefore, I can understand why the female teacher is so insistent re the public apology. Student using vulgarities against teachers cannot be condoned.
Enter the parents. Family can't afford a public apology. Too me, its irrelevant to the issue here. If you can't afford a public apology, then don't balst your goddamn mouth! All of us have really got to think before we act or in this case, before we blast our mouth. Bear your own consequences, dude! Then come the "arbitrator" - the principal. The principal claimed the incident was just a misunderstanding. What the heck was that? You just don't go around verbally abusing everything in your path and then claim its all a misunderstanding right?! Anyhow, no public apology ...teacher kena go for counselling. Oh come on!? Counselling for the poor teacher. What a load of crap..... I just think this chap takes education, teachers and school for granted. One thing that my parents taught me is that, you can do whatever you want but you have to answer for your actions.
In business world, defamation cases are more common. You verbally abuse or defame me, you standby to receive a writ of summons.

Live Life to the Fullest
Was customising this blog and I can't help but to include one of my fav song by Green Day - Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) on the right sidebar.
The song is about life, how we are not to question it and keep moving on. The song is just plain magical. Everytime I played on my guitar, I can't help but think back about the adventures, the fun, the trials and pains that I've encountered all these years. I relate to this song very dearly especially when my one of my cousins passed away. It was very emotional and I've questioned God too many a time for all these trials. Life is unpredictable, and no one ever knows what will happen, but eventually, everyone will pass away, as in everyone will die some day but we don't know when, it's the unknown that we can't question.
This song really sat me up thinking that shit happens but I still have to move on with my life and that I should live life to the fullest and not to waste it coz we only live once.
Green Day – Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)
a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.
It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

thx Charlene!
check my friendster page n Charlene send me a very detailed Libra analysis for me.
Here goes :
Libra is ruled by the planet Venus. It's symbol is represented by the Scale.
Libra is an Air sign, and is balanced and charming.
People born under this sign are energetic, ambitious, generous, and inspired. The men and women are said to differ even more than Leo men and women, and probably from the same reason.
The Libra men having had to seek their own way, and to find their own companions and occupations, early learn to turn their inspirations and their clairvoyant ability to financial account, and so become stock brokers and sometimes gamblers. The scales of Libra tip very easily, and too often one scale touches bottom with a dead weight, while the other swings aloft unused and empty.
Libra men are very fascinating, and they are as reckless in following out the gratification of their desires as they are in gambling games and speculations. This pursuit is not so much sensual as sensuous, and is more of an eagerness for new objects of attraction than an impulse of passion.
When overtaken by disaster, they recover quickly and go to work again with redoubled vigor. Their feet never touch the earth in their calculations and intrigues. They are full of hope and enthusiasm, and crash after crash produces no effect.
The Libra women who have not had the masculine liberty are not so reckless as their brothers. They are apt to be careless about money matters, and this is often due to their extreme aversion to the financial part of any transaction. They detest to be mixed up with money matters.
They are not intentionally dishonest, for they always expect to be able to pay their debts, and often borrow with the noblest intentions, but if anything occurs to thwart their calculations —and ten to one it does—they expect the person borrowed from to be as magnanimous in forgiving the debt as they would be in paying it if they had the money.
And yet these people, both men and women, have a keen and beautiful sense of justice; they are also exceedingly intuitive and mediumistic. When spiritualized, the scales hang evenly balanced, and the work that can be accomplished for humanity by the Libra people cannot be overestimated. Among them are poets, writers, and musicians. They soar high because the most rarefied air is their native element. They will give away the largest half of anything they possess, and never expect an equivalent. They are timid and apprehensive of disaster to their children and friends, and cause much nervous anxiety to their families and others.
Those born under this sign, especially the women, are so sensitive to harmony or lack of harmony that they can tell as soon as they enter a house what the prevailing conditions are. This sometimes makes them appear sad, indifferent, or disturbed, and they are considered very disagreeable and inconsistent.
Their high spirits are subdued, and a shadow falls upon all who are in their company. As it is not usually safe or proper to explain the reason of the cloud, the victims are obliged to suffer and be silent. This tendency to feel every change in those about them, and to read secret thoughts is a constant menace to the best development.
It keeps the individual harassed by anxieties, which cannot be relieved or spoken of. In this way the sympathies are kept in constant action and without sub-serving any good purpose.

Zidane is not gay. Ask Materazzi.
Did you saw that Zidance head butt incident? Ya ya... almost everyone at work was discussing bout that and I even heard some uncles talking so loudly on the bus this morning. Maybe it's Zidance last international match, so he went out with a bang! And a memorable one to keep people talking about for quite some time.
Saw the clip, did some analysis... my conclusion : Materazzi was "hugging" him from behind and possibly some trash talking between them. So Zizou turned around for couple of seconds and then perform a severe head butt to Materazzi's chest for his earlier indecent act. Perharps.
Oh ya, Zidance was also awarded the FIFA Golden Ball award as the outstanding player of the World Cup despite being sent off in this finals.

ITALY the 2006 World Cup Champions!
ha ha, just as I blog previously... Italy won!!! It was a pity that Gianluigi Buffon did not managed to keep a clean sheet at the final.
France should not have been awarded the penalty. Was that any contact Malouda at all??
Zidane suddendly went berserk when he head-butted into the chest of Materazzi. He is experienced enough to do something like that. Perharps he wanted to retire in a memorable fashion. Lets see wat the papers comment tomorrow...
Trezeguet, who scored the golden goal last time (Euro 2000 I think) came on to be the villian to miss the penalty.
Cheers to the Italians to have converted 100% of the penalties.
Fantastic moment when Fabio Cannavaro lift the trophy! He really had a excellent campaign!
Time to shower & head straight to work!
