Top secret dumb random quotes
To err is human, to forgive, divine.
Don't take life too seriously because you can't come out of it alive.
Life sucks and then you die.
Life is the art of drawing, without an eraser.
If you want something done, do it yourself.
There is no one I can not teach something to, there is no one I can not learn something from.
For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness that you can never get back.
If it ain't free, it ain't me.
Our problems are man made, therefore they can be solved by man.
mine: Life is hilariously cruel.
Life is good.

Family of four held in drug bust
MIRI: A family of four, believed to be operating a drug distribution syndicate, was detained during a police raid.
The four were found with seven suspected clients when police raided their house in Kampung Sealine near Lutong bazaar on Saturday night.
The husband and wife were aged 54 and 41 respectively, and their two sons aged 19 and 21. Some 70 tubes containing what is believed to be syabu were seized.
All of them were brought to the Miri central police station by the anti-narcotics squad led by senior officers from Kuching, who had flown here to lead the raid.
A source said the family were in the midst of a drug deal with the seven men when police moved in. The source said police had been monitoring the family for some time, adding that the suspects were believed to have used their home as a distribution centre.
Also seized were over RM15,000, electronic gadgets, weighing equipment, personal documents and three vehicles.

collegemedium.com = craigslist for schools
CollegeMedium.com
this is a new website that lets users target students from specific schools for jobs & housing.
This is pretty much alike to websites such as exchangehut.com and craigslist. The main target audience users are students. Students are young and wild. (Sorry grad schoolers, :P) Students can be the dynamic drive to the success of this kinda websites. And the power of internet makes things so easily accessible and super easy communications wise.
To register, one would need a college email address (one that ends with .edu)
Students can post up things for sale. plus, every student that posts an item for sale get a free song from itunes (cool)
Non students can post jobs, housing and events for students, and respond to student marketplace postings.
This site is awesome since its users are mainly students (like me), there's a pre-set camaraderie.
And only students can view the posted jobs and housing listings, due to the user restriction policy of the website.
and one neat feature of this website is that CollegeMedium will send you a text message anytime someone responds to your posting. It's a nice way to alert the poster of your interest. So if you're into SMS, then this definitely fits you best.
The above screenshot is the page of University of Wisconsin's. You can select which college/campus you're at and it has many colleges listed. Give it a try through the link below:

New Skittles Xtreme Fruit Bubble Gum
The new item from Skittles - Xtreme fruit bubble gum, is not too bad, but I won't buy it again if I were given a choice. Like any ordinary bubble gum, it loses its taste after a short while (dang). The fruity sensation is not very strong.
I give it 3/5.
Mentos Sours Sucks
I gave this new Mentos Sours a try. Bought it from the Walgreens and State Street.
It is not really sour, and totally doesnt taste up to my expectations. This is lame if you were to compare with the Hi-Sour candy found back in Malaysia.

Bearing, believing, enduring, never ending
is bearing all things, is believing all things, is enduring all things, is never ending.
Present continous tense.
I heart life
life is full of doubts, undoubt them with your heart : together is the nicest place to be.
and sometimes doubts lead to distrusts, distrusts would lead to the death of the heart.
sometimes you just can't help to think, what do you want out of life, just like Weiping once asked, what's the purpose of life. then you might start to ponder, is this what you really want?
maybe you know, and you can't stop yourself from knowing, maybe you don't, and you can't find a way to know. Sometimes, you just don't know whether you know it or not. Maybe you do, but you choose to deny, maybe you don't and you choose not to accept.
and you wouldn't wanna give up something just because ...
no. your heart should never give up. when everyone fails you, you still have it right there, in your heart. and that includes whoever's in your heart.

Wi-Fi Through Your Camera's SD Card Slot?
A company called Eye-Fi has found a way to embed 802.11g wireless onto one of those tiny SD memory cards. The Eye-Film card is designed to work with digital cameras so you can wirelessly download photos or transfer them to an Internet site without connecting to a computer.
Engadget's now reporting that this technology is in beta, so hopefully it will be coming out soon. They say that Eye-Film will work with "qualified" existing digital camera models without upgrade, but there is currently no public list of makes and models. Wi-Fi on the SD has been tried before, but always with a larger than standard size, making them awkward or incompatible with most camera's tiny memory compartments.
The Eye-Film card is being designed to fit within SD dimensions, and a similar CompactFlash card is next in the pipeline. The company's site says that while digital cameras are the primary focus for Eye-Film, the company is taking PDA and SmartPhone functionality "very seriously." Of course, if you don't want to wait for this feature and are in the market for a new digital camera, check out these Wi-Fi-capable digital cameras.

天堂
Dedicated to my baby.
天堂 [Tian tang - Heaven]
歌手：光良 专辑：童话
牵着你在天空飞翔
这样看世界不一样
有了你在身旁笑的脸庞
世界或许
就这么宽广
忽然就忘记了慌张
人海之中你最明亮
无意间的影响
渐渐扩张
你丰富我生活感想
何必寻找所谓的天堂
原来我因为你
不想再去流浪
情愿平凡
不拥有一切也无妨
有了你在心上
已然是天堂
已经是天堂

No 3rd time lucky
Being denied 3 times straight is like a boxer getting knocked down 3 times.
He aint knocked out yet. He knows that's number 3. He knows the crowd knows it's number 3. But a true champ stands back up after he falls. Ready to fight again. Be a champ. Take the blow and let it flow.
