Signs that your email account probably have been sold to some spam/scam generator

I got 500 emails waiting to be read after not checking the account for just 3 days!!

signs that your email account have been used for spamming

If I was not so alert this morning, I would love to just press Ctrl+A and press the DEL key. Unfortunately, in between these nuisance emails are legitimate emails. Sigh. What a morning to start with by going through this.

Zooming presentation editor

One of the new revolutionary way of doing presentations these days. I was really grateful for the staff who shared with me this wonderful application.

Unfortunately, it can only run with Internet connection (unless you signup as an educator, for which you will be able to download the files for offline viewing.)

So go on, give yourself a try with this.

Ban of Blackberry services

Not in Singapore but in UAE. Pretty soon will be the rest of the Arab nations. I think this is a definitely a step made to the wrong direction. I mean, just when you are the forerunners in technology breakthrough and defying the odds, you come down with a stipulation that doesn’t make any sense at all.

Citing national security concerns, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced that it will soon ban e-mail, web browsing and messaging for the BlackBerry smartphone.

?In the public interest, we have today informed the providers of telecommunications services in the country of our decision to suspend the Blackberry services of messenger, email and electronic browsing,? stated Mohammed al-Ghanem, the chief of the UAE?s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority

World cup and its significance to me

In a way, every World Cup since ’98 had an impact on my life.

During?World Cup 1998, it was during the period where I transitioned into life as a polytechnic student. Then, I would have caught?the matches?with a few of the poly mates.

During?World Cup 2002, during my NS days, I was going out with my then-girlfriend-soon-to-be-wife. Needless to say, I had to put up with her ogling at those soccer players.

During?World Cup 2006, I solemnised my wedding with the said-girlfriend just a week before the start. The first match, France vs Senegal, was spent in the comfort of a chalet in Downtown East ala ‘honeymoon suite’. I wasn’t sure which was more interesting: the match on tv or the match on bed! LOL (Of course, the latter wins hands down anytime!! :-p)

Now, World Cup 2010, I am watching it together with my wife and my 2 kids. Ok, both the kids are sound asleep but you get the drift.

How significant is the World Cup to you ?

The tribute to my coursemates and the beginning of a new era

Today will mark the last day that I will be going for full-time training over in N/I/E. It has been a pleasant 2 years. This Monday will mark the start of me journeying into the real life scenario of a full-pledged teacher.

Living in a mentally challenged world

A couple of days back, I stumbled across a familiar man, sitting near my void deck. He is probably in his 50s. As I tried to recall where I could I have possibly met him, then I realised that he have been around my neighbourhood for quite some time. In fact, I remembered seeing him playing football under my previous residential area with a group of kids back when I was in secondary school. That was about 15 years ago.
