3.14 – It’s the Pi Day!
Okay, I’m not a nerd to realise today is the Pi Day. It just happened that I read an interesting article about it on BBC, and came to realise it.
Some cool stuff mentioned in the article:

A surprising number of students have memorised 50 or even 100 digits after the decimal [...]

‘Blast’ spies before they hit you

13Mar08

Before my blog turns into a political ticker, let’s get back to the normal stuff

Again, another software review from ~Flix~

All software reviewed in this blog are freewares, meaning they are free to use.

This time around I’ll focus more on spywares (and adwares, malwares)

Penang abandons pro-Malay policy

12Mar08

Just few hours as I posted ‘Malaysian has Decided‘, it is surprising to read the news below. I’m overwhelmed actually, to finally see some changes.

Well, not feeling-sleepy type of lazy, or just-want-to-lie-down-doing-nothing-but-eat-or-watch-TV sort of lazy. I don’t have the habit of napping or wasting my time like that.

Been spending most time reading online news, [...]

10,000 BC – “Lame jokes” beef up its settings

09Mar08

*contains no spoiler, don’t worry *

* 10,000 BC *

Watched 10,000 BC at Time Square yesterday, my first movie for this mid-semester break. It was a great relief, after weeks being “trapped” in UTP without much time for entertainment.
