News Snippets

Some interesting news from today's paper.

Cuil.com - A new search engine, founded by some of Google's most influential ex-employees. One of those considered to be serious contenders for google search engine, as they claim to have largest indexes and with the founder's experience in building google's search engine, they surely have the right technical expertise to back them up.

Btw.. 'Cuil' is supposed to be pronounced as 'cool'.

www.bbwcupid.com - BBW stands for 'big,beautiful women'. A dating site dedicated to 'large' people looking for love. Well.. there is also other type of specialised dating site like..

www.darwindating.com - this one is cruel lah, they claim to accept only beautiful people. Those with acnes can't join. Darn.. I am banned.

Now onto a more serious problem.. Dark Knight is on course to beat Titanic's all time box office records here. Awesome. It was said that one of the main factors for the movie's success was the death of Heath Ledger. Everyone wants to see his last glorious performance. Don't be surprised if he wins Oscar for this. But then.. does it mean a thing to him now?

And more serious than that are..

Not much really. I got tired of reading stocks news, and seeing reds on my unitrust portfolio. But I remember Ms Lo's piece of wisdom lol, look at the long term prospects.

Oh.. Yellow Pages are intending to enter one of the fastest growing business in Singapore lately, the 'Mice' (meetings, initiatives, conferences and exhibitions) industry.

si mahasiswa NTU yg bunuh diri itu denger2 namanya david. sigh.. mgkn final year presssure was too much to him. jadi inget masa2 kerjain final year project, tinggal 3 bulan dan gua maseh blank. untung ngga masuk berita ky dia. life is a funny thing. well since there is a chance that this may not be a simple suicide, lets not assume so. maybe there's a truth behind this. duh.. jd inget kalo di conan trus dia bilank, "ini bukan bunuh diri.. ini adalah kasus pembunuhan!" jadi serasa mao jadi detektip -_-

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you.
