Olive Riley: World's oldest blogger dies...
I find it like impossible to "educate" my mum to even click on the ads that are placed around my blog, let alone teach her how to start a blog of her own.
Yes, most of the "older generation" (not specifically referring to age) just can't "get" the whole blogging thingy going on, so it's hard to imagine how Olive Riley could have managed it.
Sadly, this was the end of Olive Riley's blogging "career". Named the world's oldest blogger, she died on Saturday, July 12, 2008, in Australia, at the age of 108.

Sunday Sharing: My Father's Hands
Hillary Chan (aka Precious) dropped me a message on Facebook launching her Sunday Sharing "programme" at Notes From My Heart. The topic for this week is "My Father's Hands".
Initially when I saw the topic I feel a little taken aback. My parents are divorced, I live with my mum. Even though I keep in touch with my dad once in a blue moon, he still feels like a complete stranger to me. The only actual connection we had would kinda be the DNA we share. Which doesn't really count for much does it?
Should I skip this topic and wait for the next? How am I to talk about something I have no clue about?
...
(Geez. I should seriously read the descriptions carefully before I jump into conclusions.)
A search on Google lead me to this page:

Beach. Ball. Babes: Princesses outstaged by the "Queen"?
In November 2007, Pan Ling Ling was featured in a bust advertisement, as the spokeswoman, on the newspapers.
Today, in "Beach. Ball. Babes", which according to an article at Channelnewsasia.com is probably the most highly anticipated "sports drama", she stole the limelight from Dawn Yeoh, Joanne Peh, Jesseca Liu and Jade Seah.

Spirit of Enterprise Award 2008 - I voted for...
The day before I received a Facebook message from Live!Studios "informing" me that Willy Foo (the official photographer for the LG Scarlet event) has been nominated for the Spirit of Enterprise Award 2008!
Interview with Willy Foo.
Being a supporter of Live!Studios or rather Willy Foo (since he took such a nice photo of me and sent me the photo upon request unlike *ahem* Redhat Media), I guess it's only right to give him my support/vote.
P/s: If you're also a supporter of Live!Studios - register and vote!
After registering the site I realised I have a problem.
According to the "introduction":

"Protect your computer from malicious programs"
According to Wikipedia - Spyware is a computer software that is installed surreptitiously on a personal computer to intercept or take partial control over the user's interaction with the computer, without the user's informed consent.
While the term "spyware" suggests software that secretly monitors the user's behavior, the functions of spyware extend well beyond simple monitoring.
Spyware programs can collect various types of personal information, such as Internet surfing habit, sites that have been visited, but can also interfere with user control of the computer in other ways, such as installing additional software, redirecting Web browser activity, accessing websites blindly that will cause more harmful viruses, or diverting advertising revenue to a third party. Spyware can even change computer settings, resulting in slow connection speeds, different home pages, and loss of Internet or other programs.

I'm on Firefox 3, are you?
WOOHOO! Finally went about going online with Xiao Bai and upgrading my browser to the latest Firefox 3!
Teddybear says it loads a hell lot faster, but honestly... I can't really feel any difference. Perhaps after playing around with it a little more I'd get a real feel of it.
I'm ending here. Going to watch Chuck then hit the sheets. It's going to be a long day tomorrow...
P/s: Can someone make a nice pink theme for Firefox 3... The selection for pink kinda sux right now.
