I never really felt the need to learn how to drive, after all, i didn't know much about cars(or rather I know nothing about cars) and thus wasn't really interested in them. That is until I saw this pic:


It's a pink nissan march and it's soooo cute! (and pink!^_^) Looking at the pic is enough to make me wanna learn to drive. I have no idea if it's considered a "good" car or not but I don't really bother about that as long as I can drive it from point A to point B.

According to the Nissan webby, owning one of this would cost about $64,000, something only achievable after I get a full time job i guess. Hopefully by that time it's still around? or perhaps even nicer cars will be available in the future...

There's going to be a World edition of Monopoly, and Singapore is not in the top 20 countries yet! We're ranked #35 the last time I checked. To get on the board, we must be in the top 20. Wouldn't it be so cool if you could see Singapore on the Monopoly board? Click the poster below to get to the voting page. You can vote once per day so start voting now to increase Singapore's ranking! Only 12 days left to vote, make every one count!
You have to log in to vote (to prevent vote spamming), but creating an account is very fast and easy!

I was just surfing around on the ping.sg site and I noticed this ad:
Found it very funny at that time cos I didn't know schools advertise on google too...But thinking about it this is a Uni we're talking about and I suppose they are targeting foreign students?

Users of PayPal, be very careful when you receive emails from them. Be sure to confirm that the email is actually from PayPal. I just received this email from "PayPal":

As you can see (click on the pic for a better view), the email is from "services@ipaypals.com" which is obviously NOT PayPal. Furthermore, it is mailed by "host3.xon.pl". Very suspicious looking if you ask me. I immediately forwarded the email to spoof@paypal.com, which is what you should do if you receive suspicious looking emails claiming to be from PayPal. They are looking into the matter and hopefully will be able to stop the scammer sending these emails out.

After doing that...well I was curious to see how the supposed "PayPal" page would look like so I clicked on the link in the email.(btw if you hover over the link in a suspected phishing email, the url of the website will probably tell you all you need to know. And clicking on a link to log in to PayPal isn't the safest way to do so.Go directly to the website.) Below is a screen shot of the bogus website. Notice the URL in the address bar? PayPal NOT!

Note that not all phishing emails are this easy to spot. Some are very cunning indeed. To learn more above spoof emails, and protect yourself from them, you can go to PayPal's page on the subject. (genuine PayPal link!)

[p.s. notice the pink firefox skin! the reason why I switched to firefox =p]
