I had been busy the whole of last week and things don't look any better this week and weeks to come. Quite chaotic with multiple project deadlines to meet and several meetings to attend.

When you are fighting for more time, but yet your time is eaten up by attending meetings day in and day out. Unfortunately my team is a small one. Just 2 persons handling a total of 8 projects.

No time! But then still can blog about this. Something must be wrong with me!

Most of the time, I find interesting stuff already discovered by other bloggers. Sometimes me being kaypoh will go a step further and probe what was found. Other times I just stumbled on it through search engines. But sometimes interesting links may slip my bak chew.

But the internet is a resourceful place. Just read, digest, learn and then apply and you can find anything and everything.

Simi also Bloglines. Simi also Technorati. Simi also Blogpulse. Use tools to help you and anyone can do it.

Where I get all those links? The usual sites. boingboing, monkeyfilter, metafilter, your blog even. Source of information is listed after each link.

I have a habit prior to posting "of stuff n such". I'll check some blogs to see if the links I've gathered are already mentioned. If it gets mentioned already, I'll remove the link unless I really liked the content.

Here are some of the many blogs that has good links:
- Agagooga
- A Gonzo Journal (You are also one of my favouritest)
- AcidFlask (Sad. No more liaoz)
- dsng.net
- IZ Reloaded
- James Seng's blog

- My Very Own Glob {Curiosa Felicitas} (links hidden behind words/sentence)

I got a letter on Saturday. It's a letter from a company to inform me that I am guaranteed to win some prize. The photo below is a snapshot of the letter. I've blurred the Company's name. To that company, "Sorry, no free advertisement in my blog".

Prizes listed include a Toyota Corolla, 42" Plasma TV, Notebook and an Eleganet Diamond Watch. It even listed a few names of people invited to receive one of the prizes, my name included.

But what's funny is that the top right hand corner of the letter says "3rd and Final Notice". I remembered I received the first letter which should be in some recycled bin or in some incinerator somewhere by now. But where's the 2nd notice? Nevermind that. I don't care.

Well there must be some catch right? I turned over the letter over and it showed the Terms and Conditions. Terms that will scare you. Here are some of them:
- Participants must arrive with their spouse or parnter, without children, friends or relatives, and take part in an approximately 2 hours introduction at the sponsoring company's office.
- Winners of the big awards agree to have their names and picures use in our public relations and advertisements.
- Recipients of the plasma tv will be required to pay $49 for shipping, handling and insurance.
- Recipients of the world vcation will be required to pay...
- Recipients of the $1000 lfights voucher will be required to pay...
- Recipients of the note book will be required to pay...
- Recipients of the elegant diamond watch will be required to pay...
- Recipients of the digital camera will be required to pay...


Well it says "We would like to confirm that the introduction does not feature timeshare holidays or point's holidays..."

Sigh...now I get all these in my mailbox.

I took a cab this morning and I encountered this cabbie. Don't know to call him wierd or cool. As I entered the cab, he was wearing these huge black sunglasses just like the ones Mark Gor(Chow Yun Fatt) wore in A Better Tomorrow. Upon closing the door, he told me, in his soft and gentle voice, to put on my seat belt. Well that's required by the law. So I happily put on the seatbelt.

A few minutes into the journey, the cabbie started to play Gospel music. So here we have a cool and holy cabbie. Then I noticed that his Nokia 6680 has a cross dangling to it. OK, so not only is he cool and holy. He's also a hip cabbie.

But what scares me was his driving. I think he pays double the Road Tax compared to other taxi drivers. He didn't keep to his lane but he straddled in between 2 lanes! Imagine a taxi, occupying 2 lanes for parts along AYE. Now and then I could hear cars at the rear and by the sides honking at the cab. They would drive past and stare at the cabbie. Some drivers that drove past showed "What the coo-coo is going on?" face. Some showed angry faces. One even showed some finger at the cabbie. But the cool and calm cabbie just waved and gestured at them. Cool and relax.

But what's not cool was that he 'forced' his way in front of cars. And when he got honked, he would gladly bring out his left hand and waved to the cars behind as a gesture of apology. Scared the shit out of me!

Playing Gospel music was like sending me to my grave. Now I know why he instructed me to wear my seat belt.

This was one of my many interesting experiences with cabbies. I'm sure many of us have encounters(good or bad) with cabbies.

A WEST NYACK, N.Y. MAN was found dead at his computer apparently the victim of trying to keep up with too many professional forums. Childress H. Wanamaker, 54, an account executive at a New York-based new media company, died of starvation according to the West Nyack coroner's office. Wanamaker's emaciated body was found by Loraine, his wife of 26 years, who told MediaPost she had been bringing her husband meals on plastic trays for weeks, but that he never took the time to eat them.

I just came back from Johor Bahru after sending my in-laws to Senai Airport. Used the Second Link. Upon reaching the first toll booth (the one after the Malaysian customs), I found out that the toll charges have increased as of today. It used to be RM$6.60. Now it costs RM$8.40. I haven't been reading the papers, so I wasn't aware of this hike. The second toll booth costed another RM$3.10. Up from the usual RM$2.40.

While on the way back from Senai, I was given this slip at the last toll booth before reaching the Malaysian customs. It's a slip to inform motorists of the increase in charges. Sigh...what useless information. A case of "Didn't say we didn't inform you of the increase hor"?

of linkedua toll up ah!
