identify the sex of your next child

call it a myth... hearsay... i was quite amazed when i heard from my sis-in-law... how do you know whether your next child will be a boy or girl? i dont know what you call it in English... look at the head of your first kid, the 'apex' of the hair (the part where your hair seems to spiral around, 'white patch')... secret unleashed: - if the 'apex' is in the centre of the head, your next child will be a boy... - if it is at the left or right of the head, it must be a girl... it's true for my sis, eldest girl has the 'apex' in the centre and the second child is boy! it's true for my sis-in-law. it's true for me, my eldest girl's has the 'apex' on the left and my second child is girl... the second on is having it in the cente, boy next? hmm, have to think really deep... what's yours?!

five senses... how to survive

i was listening to fm100.3 this afternoon and they were discussing something relevant... our senses... which is most important and which can you afford to lose? 1) sense of smell 2) sense of sight 3) sense of taste 4) sense of touch 5) sense of hearing to see the colours of things, my wife and girls, family and games: this is definitely my first priority... i can lose my smell, goodbye to durians, smelly tofu (although my fav), and all good food.

almost dead... and twice!

no joke... i am not sure when and how it happened at first. the first incident (hard of breathing) started after the night of my fren's Dave wedding (2nd Feb)... i reached home around 12plus midnight... went for a bath and was fast asleep.. around 4am, i woke up feeling breathless... felt asthmatic (my long time evil)... i quickly got myself a cup of milo before taking zenmolin... at least i felt ok and alive and able to sleep without problem (though in living room sofa)... what caused the relapse? i don't remember drinking alcohol or cold drinks. the next incident happened on Sunday night (2 days ago)... same thing, hard of breathing around 4am, slept only around 7am... there was no haze or fog problems on both days, no alcohol and cold drinks... it must be something i ate or drink... CULPRIT: CAFFEINE! i had tea throughout Dave's wedding... i had tea and coffee on Sunday dinner and kopi-time with frens... and it only happen if i took them at night... CAFFEINE-RELATED PROD...

PSP review

i've been having this white PSP for more than a week... only one game (WORMS)... still deciding to mod this set... i got a 4GB memory stick and the moment i got it, all the 'rubbish' starts to appear inside PSP. throw in a few comic articles and my girls' pictures, convert loads of cartoons/videos for my girl, listening to the internet radio (still listening now), dumping a few mp3 tracks... surfing the web (during toilet breaks)! PSP has become my official 'all-in-one rubbish dump'... anything that i wanted to see or use, i just upload... no limits for me, the only limitation? my 4GB!. portable game console?! it is more like a handy machine to me...got this TV out cable for PSP... now i can play my mp4 videos on any TV with components input... but only kid's videos now :) PSP is a thumbs-up for me, it really helps to 'kill' time, why iPOD?

playstation 2 for sale

my family was at Best Denki, VivoCity last Thursday... we wanted to check out Nintendo Wii (intended for my inlaw)... just gave them my old PC (loaded with games) and they were enjoying it. Wii is supposed to be my mum-inlaw's birthday gift... alas... not a single console was in sight (all sold out)... while wondering past the rest of the consoles.... XBOX360 and PSP... my wife came across this small notice: PS3 clearance set... without thinking, we ask for a view of the display set and ended getting one... talked about impluse buying... with PS3 around, my PS2 had to go... any takers @ a price will be good... PS2 with 2 controllers and 2 guns...fully modified... i had been testing the new console lately... weight is like a CPU (ventilation is greatly required)... 60GB HDD can be partitioned into 2 parts (one for PS3, the other for you to install your own OS)... it is really like a CPU. If you are thinking of getting a CPU, might as well buy a PS3. imagine it comes with Blu-Ray pla...

no money for Windows? use Ubuntu

i happen to come across this OS while reading CNET new, Ubuntu .... it is a Linux variant OS...but hack.... Ubuntu is like Windows OS now... graphical interface, comes with OpenOffice (like Windows Office with less features), Firefox (like Internet Explorer and better), some email software (like Outlook)... the graphical interface like Mac but you can download Kubuntu (like Windows interface)....i have yet to really play with it but all these are FREE (for now)! and they (Ubuntu community) aim to make this free for as long.... KUDOS. even Dell (only US) is adopting it.... see this this OS is especially good if you have very old PC or laptop that have problems running Windows (resource hungry) OS. :P

Worms in your Apple

not your usual worms and not the normal Apple... read on Windows virus worms onto some Apple iPods 10 / 17 / 06 By Ina Fried Apple Computer warned on Tuesday that some of its latest iPods have shipped with a Windows virus. The company said that a small number of video iPods made after Sept. 12 included the RavMonE virus. It said it has seen fewer than 25 reports of the problem, which it said does not affect other models of the media player, nor does it affect Macs. The Cupertino, Calif.-based company apologized on its Web site for the problem, but also used the opportunity to jab at Microsoft, its operating system rival. "As you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses, and even more upset with ourselves for not catching it," Apple said on its site. Apple Vice President Greg Joswiak told CNET News.com that the virus was discovered last week and said the company has been working around the clock since then to discover the root ...
