If you haven't installed or updated to Firefox 3, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!
You can download it from the official website at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/. It's available in 46 different languages and compatible with 3 Operating Systems (OS): Windows, Mac and Linux. Talk about going global.
If you're currently using Firefox 2, I would assume your greatest worry would be whether Firefox 3 is hard to navigate, and whether your add-ons are compatible.
You can relax. Firefox 3 boats of the same interface, save for the Awesome Navigation Bar. Don't worry, if you don't like what you see, you can change or edit it back to the setting as per Firefox 2 style.
As for your add-ons, the numerous Firefox 3 betas released enabled code developers to start editing the compatibility, and if the update manager informs you that the add-on is incompatible, just be patient. The odds are that Firefox developers are vetting through them.

Youtube Screening Room
Youtube has recently 'opened' a screening room. You won't Tom, Dick or Harry's home videos here though.
The Screening Room will showcase top films shown around the world, leaning more towards features and those that are played at International Film Festival.
Top films naturally demand top video quality and this Youtube has promised. All films are played in a high quality player, and four new films will be released every other Friday. Or so they say.
There's also an option to purchase a copy of the films available should you yearn for a hard copy.
There are currently four films available for viewing, ranging from four to fifteen minutes in duration.

Potholes
Well, if you wondered what Potholes:Retrospect is about... it's a mini-series, of sorts, inspired by a good friend's ongoing story.
You can read her the chapters of her Missing Home series at http://www.singing-is-my-passion.blogspot.com/.
Oh, the creativity unleashed during one's youth. Unrestrained, resilient, and abound with life, energy and surpassing strength.
Oh, the woes of age. The experiences never forgotten, the truths hidden, the memories tarnished, scarred yet trudging on.
Enjoy the Missing Home series, and perhaps Potholes may further add mystery to certain characters. Though mine won't be as long as hers. Mine are like nuggets compared to her chicken cutlet.
Enjoy. =)

Potholes: Retrospect
He had always believed in her since young. It didn't matter that the elders of the community frowned upon a girl learning how to fight. Why should they care? They didn't witness the uncle, whom he grown to love, honor and respect, thrust the dagger into his father's temple.
It haunted him every night - the muffled cry of pain and surprise; the brief look of anger that turned into anguish.
That afternoon, he had knocked over several porcelain vases while imitating moves from the sacred Scroll of Fight. It was not on purpose, and he knew Father would probably just heave a sigh, and then beckon him to clamour onto the bed and be regaled with stories of the vases and their mythical powers.
If they were that powerful, surely they could put the pieces back together again, he reasoned. Father would probably announce to the Royal Court that a rat had broken in during the night and caused the vases to topple and break.
Yet every time he wanted to tell Father about it, something seemed to hold him back. And so night fell, but no matter how hard he tried, he just could not sleep.
At the age of five, he had promised Father he would uphold the value of honesty, and this seemed to be keeping him awake. Finally, he could stand the restlessness no more and headed down the secret passage that interlinked his room and Father's. If Father was asleep, it would mean a sleepless night. If Father was still awake... perhaps there was something mythical about those vases.
He reached the end of the passage and was about to knock on the wall when he heard the door open and close quickly. 'Surely Father isn't going out this late', he thought to himself and peered in through a crack on the wall. It was his uncle.
'Perhaps they have important matters of the State to discuss", he reasoned and was about to turn and return a while later till he saw it.
The glint of the dagger.

Gmail
Gmail has increased its attachment size to 20mb, as compared to Hotmail which offers 10mb, half its size.
This would definitely benefit those who have suffered long enough at sending multiple emails with attachments because the files exceed 10mb in accumulated size.
And, if you're interested to preview future features of Gmail, you can try playing around with Gmail Test Labs. You can enable it via your Account Settings in Gmail. Some interesting ones would be playing Snake, and 'allowing' Gmail to log you out for 15 minutes so you can rest your eyes. Or your browser. Good for those who simply need to check their email every 5 minutes.
If you can't find it, just google. You'll find it. =)

Black Socks
Black socks, they never get dirty
The longer you wear them the blacker they get.
Sometimes I think I should change them but something keeps telling me
but maybe Not yet.
Not yet.
Not yet.
I just love this song. I can hear it for hours and hours especially the last part. Harmony and stuff.

Sick
Fell sick today.
Not very good feeling, but then again when is falling sick a good feeling?
Woke up with fever, a terrible terrible headache and an aching body. Felt nauseous. World spinned when I stood up from bed. Felt totally like shit man. Okay, that's shit pause man. Not like a new superhero or smthng.
My mum was throwing up a million and one reasons why I fell sick.
"Ai yah, not enough sleep la" [I slept from 1am to 2pm]
"Never drink enough water lor" [I drink at least a litre of water everyday on weekdays]
"See la! Never take vitamin C" [I take Yakult every morning on my way to work, fruits after breakfast at work, fruit juice at least once a week, and Vitamin C drink 3 times a week at night.
And for some strange reason, while I'm eating my dinner - porridge - my dad has to ask me why I've withdrew so much cash in the past few days. Like I'm sick, I'm groggy, I don't feel like eating, let alone talking, and he keeps bugging me what I used a hundred and sixty for.
Well, I guess some people show love in a truly scrumptious kind of way.
