Vivid dreams

I had two dreams last night.

Strangely, both were vivid. In fact, I find it weird that I can recall both.

Act 1: I was playing futsal with 3 close friends (Yap, Ranga, Vicky). I think it was Ranga and me versus the other two. We were running around this empty room with a table placed in the middle. On top of the table was a big vase. At some points, we were kicking a pillow around. Next thing I know, I'm in a toilet looking at the mirror. My teeth looks funny. That's because I've lost my 3 front teeth. I keep them in my pocket.

Act 2: I am dropping my boss home. The automatic gate is tiny and gives the impression that the house is very small. His automatic gate opens up. Next thing I see is lush greenery, and hillocks on both sides of the gate. A classic car is parked at the top of each hillock. There must have been many of them. They're all white, and shiny. But strangely, each car looks like an ambulance. They've all got those big giant red beacons on their roof.

Yes, I was late for work today.

Did you have a vivid dream too?

Don't take risks, use covers!

I never knew you could find disposable toilet seat covers in Guardian. 15 bucks for 10 pieces.

Would you waste your money on this?

What's your "in addition"?

IN ADDITION.

That's my overly repetitive phrase. I tend to use it all the time. My paragraphs never seem complete without it. In addition (tadaa!), I just like how it adds that sophisticated feel to my words, without sounding bombastic (yuck!)

Mel likes to use "nevertheless". She says her colleague, Z, likes to use "considering".

It even applies to the Malay language. In school, I used to love repeating "justeru itu" (which means: "as such") in my essays. I could just feel an "A" coming my way everytime I put one down.

What's your overly repetitive word / phrase?

Something everyone should have

A funny tee.

My colleague is loving his Friday. A bunch of them are wearing funny tees today.

What's the funniest tee in your wardrobe?

Mice on Sale?

Sale Mice? Or Salem Ice?

I don't think they picked the right design for this one.

Can you break dance like these guys?

Ever wanted to learn how to do the break dance? No better way than learning from my buddies. They've been working on their routine for a while now. I can't wait to hit the dance floor with them!



What do you think?

You can be anyone you want

With World of Warcraft =)

It's a new series of ads featuring B-Movie legends like Mr. T, Vern Troyer, Van Damme and William Shatner. Cool!

By the way, if you haven't already started using OpenDNS, get started now.

Really funny -- you have to watch it!

Introducing Gmail Paper

A new product from Google, introduced yesterday, in conjunction with Lirpa Loof.







Some memorable testimonials:

"It's paper, plain and easy. I sometimes find myself wondering: what will Google think of next? Cardboard?"

"Now that I have Gmail Paper, I understand the difference between labels and folders. I had one message with two labels, but when I tried to stick the paper version into two filing cabinets at the same time, it just wouldn’t go."

How to hijack a lorry in 2007

Excerpt from the The Star Online:

Six hijackers assaulted a lorry driver, tied him up and made him lie on the driver's seat with one of them sitting on him while driving off with cargo worth more than RM1mil.

Time to work those butt muscles -- might come in handy someday =P

Google's sense of humour

Another example of how Google makes tough subjects like finance a whole lot of fun to understand. This animation describes some of Google Finance's newest features. Narrated by Vivi Costache, it reminds me of South Park, yet emphasises the key selling points of the service -- bravo!
