An old lady won 32 mil in casino yesterday. I was standing beside her, and she hit the grand jackpot and she turn over and told me she won 32 mil... I was like "OMG !!!". Then comes the managers, after doing some verification and replay the last game (there is a built in function that allows to show how the "jackpot" is generated), finally they escort the old lady to other place, I'm guessing a VIP room ??

Another lotto is opened yesterday, it's worth 32 million also.

Went to Sea World with housemates on 26 Dec Boxing Day. It's my 3rd visit. Things that are new to me are Shark Bay and hmm... nothing major brand new over there. One interesting thing is that we got this PK (Player Kill) thing among me, Andy and Emily. The PK is about riding the pirate ship, whoever stays until the end and didn't vomit wins. So we played 5 times of pirate ship but too bad we're all so good, and also it's nearly 6pm, they're closing so we have to stop. No losers, we're all winners ! Don't think that it's so easy, the thing is you cannot hold the security bar, not even a single thing, and we sit either on the head or tail of the pirate ship for 5 rides... How does that sounds to you ? Oh man... we just loved to show off and show it to some kids that challenge us ;)

They changed the water ski performance too. They've got this summer them and dressing like 60s and 70s, with hair style like Elvis Presley. The best show ever among my 3 visits. Seems that they hired more performer too.

We watched The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe on the way back we from Gold Coast. It's not that great than what I expected. No time to write comments on it, going out soon... maybe I'll write next time when I got time.

ps: somebody said Narnia is nice... i think that somebody is Kirara...

The weather is so warm throughout this week and last week, because of the air ventilation in my house, the temperature difference between upstairs and downstairs is around 3-5 degrees Celcius. Thus most of the activity are carried out in downstairs during the day time.

Well, it's the last day of year 2005 and most important of all, it's much cooler today... haha... Going down to city with housemates for dinner and will watch the fireworks in Southbank. Last year I overnight on Mt. Cootha with friends and watched the first sun raise of 2005.

Happy New Year !

Merry Christmas !! Ho Ho Ho ~~

The weather is so warm today, feels like 36 degrees Celcius. There is no snow, no log fire over here, even Santa is gotna sweat so bad today hehe...

Greets to Gthree and Reida, also the rest of HerosOfLegend guildmates in KalOnline. I've stopped playing this game for months, but my account is still valid, it's sad that Aki is not around when I login, and Lunor is gone, no longer a sub-leader anymore.

Wish you a Merry Christmas, let it be a warm and happy day =)

Just came back from the movie of King Kong. Im not a very picky guy, to me, King Kong is a good movie to watch.

It's pretty boring at first, but when their adventure begins (well, thanks to the film director, Carl) you just can't stop watching it. Nice animation and special effects, also loved the King Kong's kung fu style when it's fighting the 3 T-Rex in the jungle. Also there are a few breathtaking scene that makes you hold your breath in horror. At times, I think Kong is funny and cute but it's not the case when you're the innocent one who got stepped by it... hehe...


Well since they got the eight wonder thing, the story is not real, but I just can't understand some things like:

1. How did they track down Kong in the jungle ??? Jack brings nothing with him, no weapon, no compass, but he still manage to find Kong and Ann... that's crap...
2. Why all the crews' clothes are always so clean all day long? I'll get more mud stain on my clothes in just one round of paintball game compare to them.. hmm, like Ann's clothes, do you think Kong ever washes it hands ?? why she still looks clean after Kong grabbed her N times?? not to mention Kong grabbed her using its foot a few times...
3. When Jack came to rescue Ann and trying to escape via a "suddenly appear tarzan rope"... it reminds me the story of a princess got trapped in a tower and the princess makes a rope out of clothes and the knight climbs up and kill the demon.. come on, can't they think of a better one ??
4. Where's the natives when they get back to the shore ?? population wiped out by a few tommy gun ?? cut cost ?? retrenchment ?? fired ??

The story is quite touching but there are too many long, lingering stares between Ann and Kong. A few times it's fine, the rest are just making me yawning. Towards the ending, Kong climbs up Empire State Building, instead of World Trade Center in the old King Kong movie. That's because of the tragic events of September 11, Empire State Building is once again New York's tallest building.

There is always a relationship between beauty and beast :O Planning to watch Narnia, it's not screening in local cinemas yet.

Not feeling well today, stupid sore throat and swollen gum near my wisdom teeth (again).. sigh...It always got swollen on the left hand side, I'm guessing because that particular wisdom teeth's position is "blocking" the gum.

I'm trying to drink more water, gurgle with salt water, drink a little bit honey, don't sleep late... hopefully I can recover fast...

Any other good way to cure this fast?

Just found a PHP blog project in SourceForge - Simple PHP Blog. It doesn't require a database, uses flat text files, and looked nice. Runs on PHP 4.

Looks simple and nice to me, but flat text file eh ?? I'm not really a big fan of it... imagine writing extra coding to process text file and performance degradation when you're dealing with large scale entries.

I haven't test the whole thing. But , it's not bad for short term blogging by just looking at their page though. Simple PHP Blog got the basic features like leave comment, trackback, permalink, search function, RSS feed and etc.

I'll check their admin control panel later on and study their code when I got enough time.

Visit their SourceForge project page, or their web page.

It seems that Mozilla is building it's own editor. I suppose that's a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) web-based editor.

This is a good thing to FireFox and other gecko-based browser... BUT, what about IE and Opera ?? They aren't gecko-based. Does that means that they will not be able to use it ?? hmm ??

I've seen a few WYSIWYG but most of them are pretty buggy. They all consist of "complicated and sophisticated" things (codes, lol) in it, but they have the problems of cross-browser-compatibility.

Anyway, aren't those WYSIWYG editor and BBCode tags exists solely for one purpose ? To make lazy people's life easier =)

Visit the Mozilla Editor and the live demo (Note: I got a feeling the demo page is out-dated).

Set up Google as your homepage and read your multiple favourite RSS on your personalized page! You can choose what you love to read and what you don't want. Examples are your local weather forecast, top news stories, specific RSS feed and etc.

Google has this freely-drag-and-arrange feature that allows you to arrange the layout. Sounds cool eh? But before you can use the service, you gotna have a google account, eg Gmail account.

Visit Google Personalized Page, login and start to personalize!
