Australia was robbed!!!

In no way was that last piece of action of the game amounting to a penalty. Yo referee, read my lips: "It was not a penalty!" Use you brain, use your brain.

Idiotic and Irritating

Encountered an idiotic and irritating person on the MRT this evening. He was using a portable DVD player to watch I-not-sure-what and the music playing from that thing was stupidly loud. What was that guy thinking? Oh wait, he couldn't be thinking because he should be brainless to ever do such an selfish act. People were staring at him and he was still oblivious to them. I really had half a mind to tell him to shut the he** up but I let it go as I was a stop away from alighting. Such stupidity is also not confined to him alone as there are people who either let their handphones ring or play music from them. Yo idiots, don't you know what earphones are?

Since I am already on this 'theme', I may as well continue with another story which is less irritating but no less idiotic. This time it involved a non-living thing. Last evening, I went over to my neighbour's to help her configure her new laptop to connect with her router. Since I was the one who set up that router, I thought it will be a breeze. Alas, I was wrong. I forgot that the router's different when I activated the MAC filtering. The router will block any computer that has no MAC address registered in its list, not just for wireless but wired as well. Therefore I couldn't connect the new laptop 'wiredly', leaving me with no access to the router for configuration. How stupid is that! Thank goodness there was another computer connected to it but what if that computer had been down?

Here are more grumblings of mine regarding KDE which I have received good replies to prove my own ignorance :-)

[读后感] 亮的离谱的新加坡

中午睡醒（没错，我睡到中午，因为看世界杯），就在报纸看到了名为《亮的离谱的新加坡》的文章。作者写到：

偏偏在新加坡，没有月光的夜里，当我连星星都看不到的时候，却能够清楚看见夜空里飘游着的云。这个城市亮得自豪，也亮得离谱。

我也有同感，新加坡仿佛是个不夜城；夜如白昼。除此之外，现在的夜晚也缺少了以前的宁静。不论夜有多深，还是会有人影在街灯下。难道我们已经进化到无须那么多的睡眠，还是工作占据了我们太多时间，使得夜晚更加珍贵？

I went, I read, but I don't understand...

Argh!!! I was reading a friend's blog which is in Japanese and I can't understand even the simplest of her posts. And I have been taking lessons for quite a while liao. I guess I have lousy memory for the things I learn and absolutely no talent in picking up another language. Why can't my brain work the same way as in learning English when I was young?

Speaking of brains, have anyone tried the game Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day for Nintendo DS? Can those who have played comment on it, introduce what the tests are like? For those who wanna exercise their minds a bit more, there is a website containing various games like the mind-boggling Point-and-Click/Escape-From-Room/Solve-A-Mystery ones. Enjoy;
