How to age graciously?

As usual, my dentist talked while working on my tooth. The conversation this time was about his mom when she was getting really old. Interestingly, his mom's behavior is exactly like my mom's. Hmm... i wonder if that will be me in another 30 years!!!

How To Make Your Taxi Trip A Happy One In Malaysia?

The taxi driver seemed unhappy that I did not tell him my destination before I got comfortable in his taxi. Ignoring his hostile comments, and kept my silence. I was so tempted to tell him the TV show I watched the night before, mentioned about action could be taken against taxi driver who refuses to take a customer to any local destination.

As we were passing by Brickfields, I asked him about the best Indian rice in town. Hence, started a nice conversation about food. The best Laksa is some where near BP station in OUG. A lot of good food around Pudu and Sg Besi. Very good prawn noodle in... oh oh, forgot where was the place that he mentioned.

To the Indian taxi driver who loves Chinese food.. happy driving :-)

Chain Letter

I have been receiving many chain letters, but never once reply. But the one below kind of make me see chain letters from a different perspectives :-)

First, it helps me to be more appreciative of people around me, family and friends.
Second, it may make it easy to convey the appreciation by sending the chain letter to them. Hmm.... may be not !!?
Third, it reminds me to remember and uphold everyone of them in my prayer.

"I am supposed to pick 12 women who have touched my life and who I think would want to participate. I think that if this group of women were ever to be in a room together, there is nothing that would be impossible. I hope I chose the right twelve. My hugs, love, gestures and communications hopefully remind you how special you are. Please send this back to me.
Remember to make a wish before you read the prayer. That's all you have to do. There is nothing attached. Just send this to twelve ladies and let me know what happens on the fourth day. Sorry you have to forward the message, but try not to break this, please. Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive. Did you make a wish yet? If you don't make a wish, it won't come true. This is your last chance to make a wish!
'May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.'
Now, send this to 12 women within the next 5 minutes. And remember to send this back .. I count as 1...you'll see why. Suggestion: copy and paste rather than forwarding it
Hugs! -You make a difference!"

Child Development

The tv advertisement by YourBabyCanRead is very effective, with good comments from the customer. However, there are also not so positive comments, see Answers @Yahoo. Lastly, a forum that has promoters and detractors.

There is also the DIY version.

Twitter vs. Facebook

I was trying to figure out what are the differences between Twitter and Facebook, found a useful blog by Shannon Clark.

Twitter - the next web technology to try out :-)
