Lizard vs Cat

S is fixing up a old PC after dinner and he found a tiny lizard hiding inside the CDROM. S tries to "shoo" the lizard to get it to come out from the CDROM. That stupid stubborn lizard is too comfy with the CDROM living and refuses to come out. And so S opens up the casing to try to get the lizard out. Voila! The lizard finally comes out and run towards the door. Her life is so fated that the moment she gets out from the door, the stray cat chases after her and tiny lizard becomes the cat dinner. Too bad I didn't get my camera ready, else I would have shot my amateur copy of Discovery Channel: Neighbourhood Wild Life ;-)

Billboards

There is this billboard placed on the overhead bridge along the Federal Highway that annoyed me.



Sponsored by Dentyne and it implies that if you make a u-turn to go Bangsar, you are going to have a "malam bersosial". Er.., you mean clubbing, drinking, fun night?

On the right hand side of the bill board, it implies that if you head home straight, you are "takut", "malu" (anti-social/shy person??)! Hmmm ....

Well, never mind that. You are heading home anyway.

**keep driving**




Just when you are feeling bad thinking you are going to miss the malam bersosial at Bangsar. You see this:



Nescafe is telling you that there are beautiful days ahead, waiting for you.
Gee.. thanks!

Road


The road ahead or above your head?

Tunnel


The light at the end of the tunnel. No, it is not a train! ;-)

Hotmail - 25mb

This morning I found out my Hotmail mailbox size is finally increased to 25Mb. I have actually given up hope to see the 25Mb. Before today, I still have the freaking 2Mb that I received at least once a week a warning email on "You mailbox is about to bla bla bla... " yeah yeah. fuck off!!!

I mean, I have the account since the early day of internet boom, am I not a "loyal" customer to be given some pathetic upgrade than the new customer who sign up and immediately getting their 25Mb? WTF!!!!! I still remembered how I signed up to Hotmail in 1995 after using AOL.(Too many personal emails that I can no longer share AOL account with my BF) Hotmail was not even part of Microsoft then. I even done up a paper on the Hotmail and how (much) Microsoft paid to get it.

And so, the question is: With my 1Gb Yahoo mail and 2.4Gb(still growing) Gmail, why the heck I still need Hotmail? Answer: There are still oldfriends that will email me to hotmail once in a bluemoon - though I have informed them on my migration to yahoo.

Anyway, enough said. The increased mailbox size is stil a good news. Thank you Microsoft.
