I can’t believe someone actually build this kind of restaurant! Gross…and yet earning good business from this?

Let the photos do the talking:

The processor in question is a Pentium 4 670 Prescott, whose speed was designed by Intel at 3.8 GHz. The system used by the Japanese to push things to the limit is built around an ASUS P5WD2 motherboard with two 512 MB RAM CORSAIR PC2-5400UL modules of memory, and the cooling system was ARC Pot Revc.12.1xe LN2; the operating system installed on the system was Windows Server 2003.

After the preparations were done, the Pentium 4 670 Prescott processor reached 7132.82 MHz (375,4 MHz FSB x 19).

Cool, huh? I want one too… Imagine…7GHz computer… In my dreams, LoLx.. Now, can anyone else beat that overclocking? I believe someday, someone, somewhere, the record will be broken. After all, I believe there’s no limit to technology.

I just got my first free contact lenses two days ago from Soflens. It’s not too bad, but quite a hassle to put it on and slightly uncomfortable. Maybe this is because it’s my first time wearing a contact lense.

For Malaysians
To get your free contact lense trial pack from Soflens, pay a visit to their website below. They are having roadshows at various places at the moment. In addition to the free trial pack, you’ll stand a chance to enter their contest and win prizes too.

No, I’m not asking you which one would you prefer. Just take a look at these photos:

These pictures are taken from a website called “Bush or Chimp?”. It’s really funny. Maybe it’s a bit old news by now, but I still laugh at the similarities between President Bush and chimpanzee.

Have fun laughing. ^_^

I recently came across this special blog; the writer writes about the things he found. It’s pretty cool, but most of the things he found were grocery lists.

I like this particular entry from one of his posts:

I found this at K-Mart in Hendersonville, Tennessee about 2 years ago. It is my favorite shopping list, ever! Here’s the list:

milk
cigarettes
cereal

I took a look at the condition outside of my house, and to my horror, the haze was really really bad. I mean, really serious type of bad. This haze is the worse than the one Malaysia had few years ago due to the same reason, forest burning in Indonesia. But I’m wondering why, the media aren’t reporting the haze situation like the way they did few years ago, and there aren’t any steps taken by the government (like declaring emergency school holidays, etc) at all. Are they putting our lives at risk just to save our country’s income from tourism?

Below are some excerpts of news reports about the haze:

Forest fires in Indonesia’s Sumatra province covered Malaysia’s main city Kuala Lumpur and 32 other towns Tuesday with a smoky haze that reduced visibility to as low as one kilometer (half a mile).

The Department of Environment said air quality in an area in central Perak state was “unhealthy,” and it downgraded air quality in 32 other areas nationwide, including Kuala Lumpur, from “good” to “moderate.”

What Is Konfabulator?

Konfabulator is a JavaScript runtime engine for Windows and Mac OS X that lets you run little files called Widgets that can do pretty much whatever you want them to. Widgets can be alarm clocks, calculators, can tell you your WiFi signal strength, will fetch the latest stock quotes for your preferred symbols, and even give your current local weather.

What sets Konfabulator apart from other scripting applications is that it takes full advantage of today’s advanced graphics. This allows Widgets to blend fluidly into your desktop without the constraints of traditional window borders. Toss in some sliding and fading, and these little guys are right at home in Windows XP and Mac OS X.

I really like Konfabulator because it looks cool yet so useful. More importantly, it’s now free since Yahoo took over. However, don’t get too carried away because it’s really a resource hungry application (don’t blame me when your computer slows down and work like a snail =P ).

Check it out here: Konfabulator

Don’t forget to check out the gallery too. A lot of amazing widgets there. Choose as many as you like. Enjoy~!

A JUNIOR doctor who has been left nearly £50,000 in debt after putting herself through 10 years of study and training says she cannot now get a job - despite applying for 50.

Melissa Marlow, aged 30, of Ham Green, has applied for three jobs in Bristol and a total of 50 jobs across the country, but has so far been unsuccessful.

She is just one of thousands of Senior House Officers (SHOs) across the country who have found themselves in the position of incurring huge debt by funding themselves through medical school, only to find themselves unemployed at the middle stage of their training.

This is surprising. A doctor but couldn’t find a job? I always thought those who studied medicine will never be unemployed, judging from the low ratio of doctors to population. But this news is real. I don’t quite understand the reason. Is it because there are too many junior doctors already? Can someone read the article and explain to me? *confused*

For the third year in a row, he’s taken home the trophy for ugliest dog at the Sonoma-Marin Fair — one of the premiere lineups of less-than-lovely dogs in the country.

Wah, seriously this dog can give me nightmares. His name is Sam, a purebreed Chinese Crested Hairless. He’s almost 15 years old now. He even has his own blog, how does that sound? Of course it’s written by his owner, Susie.
